I’m not going to sit here and tell you I spit crazy tight game. It would be a big lie. And I’d also be lying if I told you my success had nothing to do with me being a foreigner. But if we can hold some variables equal, these are my thoughts on Argentine girls and the Argentine Pick Up Experiment.
Argentine Girl Character Traits
- Easy to talk to
- Hard to escalate
- Want a boyfriend but down for infidelity (rebelling against religion?)
- Speaking English to them is a good thing
- Wont look you in the eyes at all until you meet them
- Very image conscious and struggle to let loose – I never saw a drunk Argentine girl.
- Like to play games and disappear
- Suck at dancing – compared to Brazilians and Colombians
Things To Note
Get A Cell Phone
I think getting email addresses is great, but a cell phone would have made it easier to get follow-ups. Everyone has a cell phone and everyone loves to text. It’s no different from the States. I believe if I had a cell phone I could have pushed for more meet ups. Argentine girls will answer your texts and your phone calls.
Don’t Worry About the Opener
I’ve completely accepted the fact that what you say to start a conversation doesn’t matter that much. This is especially true when there’s a language barrier. As mentioned before, ‘I have a whiteface’ was a very effective opening line.
Argentine girls, in general, were very easy to start conversations with. I think this will be true for any foreign white guy. You’re exotic and the girls will be instantly interested in what you want. Many want to practice their English as well.
Go For The Gold The Same Night If You Think She Might Have A Boyfriend
OK, I can’t guarantee this advice, but I heard it from 3 separate Argentines (2 guys, 1 girl). Many Argentine girls want a boyfriend. But at the same time there is lot of infidelity. Hence, the availability of hourly hotels and the fact that otherwise classy girls wont mind going to one.
When a girl with a boyfriend is out on the town with her friends, she might be looking to meet someone new and possibly have a one-night-stand. So, I was told to go for it on the first meeting. Once again, I can’t speak from experience on this one, but it might be worth noting. If you think she has a boyfriend, try to get intimate on the first meeting.
What I Got Out of The Argentine Pick Up Experiment
I got bitches! Just joking. The most important thing I learned was: take the role of a researcher in your life.
By placing myself in a researcher’s role, I was able to separate my ego from the results. When I got rejected or ignored, which happened several times, it wasn’t too damaging. I was more focused on my conversion rate and less on my ego.
It is great to take yourself out of the equation and don’t place expectations on outcomes. Good researchers don’t expect, they just analyze the results.

How much of “the game” or any of those other PUA things actually work down there? It seems those books tend to play(prey) specifically on American insecurities.
All circumstances being equal, where do you think it is easier to pick up women?
Note to self: Never date an Argentinian.
I think that stuff will work with any women, anywhere. However, some of the intricacies were surely lost in translation.
All things equal, I think it’s easier to pick up girls in the States. But, I think it’d be much easier to score a super hottie in Argentina.
Hahahaha, your site cracks me up! This is awesome, an experiment picking up girls using a marketing model…haha. Good shit dude!
How much hotter are the girls in Medellin than the states? I think I might begin my trip in Columbia.
lesson learnt, I presume you´ve got a cell phone in Colombia… I know for sure I´m getting one
Dude you’ve got a great blog. Just found it tonight. thought I’d comment here because I got a real laugh out of this post. It sometimes reads like an instruction manual for Martians on how to score with Earth chicks. Especially the paragraphs below ‘Go for the the Gold the same night’.
Great stuff, loved it.
que bueno, che!
ha ha ha
go on with your experiments!!!
btw you were damn right with the argentinian boys, it’s a mess, that I am not too much into them…..
…ohmygod, if I had known how these pussy-like smileys look like, I would not have used them!
Buenos Aires 2008: No english? No problem! Though i was a little nervous when she took me to an hourly hotel out of fears that i had “picked up” a prostitute from the club. Once in bed I figured id ask her, she screamed in horror “prostituta” slapped me and tried to leave. I convinced her to stay…
