Can you quantify "magnitude easier"? Doesn't sound like anything you did was unique to a particular country.

  > Can you quantify "magnitude easier" what I mean is that making friends requires almost no effort from my part when I'm in latin america or asia. maybe it is the cool foreigner effect but having a 2 min chat turn into being invited to a party is not somethign I ever experience when I'm in the united states. dating prospects are better too. the few times I start a conversation with women, it ends up in a soft rejection. Meanwhile I have plenty of female friends (sometimes with benefits) come out of interactions with women down in latin america despite the language barrier. they are far more open to meet people and seeing where things go, american women always seem so guarded by contrast and at this point I dont even bother with them anymore because they are always so avoidant.

    > having a 2 min chat turn into being invited to a party is not somethign I ever experience when I'm in the united states Having that experience in a city (in the US) is why I chose to live in a city, rather than the burbs, but you do need to put out the right vibe for that to happen. It's hard to be an interesting foreigner with a hot acccent just visiting the city when you sound native because you live there.
