No Absolutely Perfect HA Location

[Lucas88]

The other day, while taking my usual walk through the woods, I began to reflect on the realization that there is no absolutely perfect HA location for me - and presumably for many others too - whether it be for reasons of culture, climate, language, women, etc. One usually has to accept compromises.

I've discovered that Spain and particularly the city of Valencia is the location which suits me the most and where I feel the most serenity of mind but even Valencia isn't exactly perfect for me; it just approximates perfection more than most other locations do.

First, let's talk about climate. Valencia's climate is certainly good by European standards but it still gets a little bit too hot for me in the months of July and August and sometimes a little bit too cold in winter too. In my view, the Colombian highlands have a better climate with a stable temperature with an average high of around 27º and an average low of around 17º all year round. That's more pleasant than the Valencian summer, although autumn in Valencia is really nice.

Second, even though I really love Spain as a country and culture, I don't find Iberian girls attractive. They tend to look a bit weird, often have ugly "Arab noses", and speak in a brash and masculine manner. Instead, I am absolutely obsessed with brown-skinned Latinas, particularly those with African admixture and big booties. Latinas by and large have softer and more feminine facial features, a more exotic skin tone, and more femininity. I don't particularly like the local Spanish females from a romantic standpoint; however, this problem is largely mitigated by the extremely high number of Latin American immigrants that you find in any decent-sized Spanish city which include colombianas, venezolanas, ecuatorianas, brasileiras, etc.

Third, the language. Even though Spanish is one of my most beloved languages of all and a language at which I'm extremely competent, I don't actually like the sound of Iberian Spanish that much, prefer Latin American Spanish, and refuse to speak Spanish with the ugly lisp or ceceo as it's called in the Hispanophone world. So, even if I do one day acquire Spanish citizenship, I'll still never become that model Spanish citizen español hasta los cojones and will continue to speak like a sudaca as some people have noted, which I take as a complement as a L2 speaker.

Conversely, there might be other locations that cover the points above better than Valencia does. Colombia and Brazil come to mind.

Colombia has probably the best climate for me in the temperate highlands, an abundance of mamacitas with the perfect phenotype for me, and quite possibly my absolute favorite variety of Spanish (except for the northernmost regions of the country where people speak more like caribeños).

Brazil has some regions with good climates (mostly in the southeast), some of the hottest ladies in the world (brasileiras com bunda), and I could really see myself absolutely falling in love with Brazilian Portuguese and speaking it loquaciously if ever I moved there.

However, as beautiful as those two countries are, they both lack the security and serenity that Valencia affords. Crime rates are high. Gangsters are doing their thing. I don't mind being in Latin America, but when I'm there I often miss the security and serenity of walking the streets peacefully in Valencia, even at 2 AM. Not to mention the top-notch infrastructure that Valencia offers as a first-world European city.

So nowhere is 100% perfect for me and there is always a tradeoff of some sort.

What about for you guys? Do any of you have your perfect HA location that checks all the boxes? Or are there always compromises?

I think that the EU,even though it was created for the sole express of the Kalergi plan,is a great concept.The more nations in europe Join,the better in my humble view.

Because my most prized posession is EU citizenship,I can always go to Balkan countries indefinately as much as my finances provide and enjoy my time there,find a relatively good woman that also is beautiful and is easier to attain than her lower quality in virtue and aesthetic western european and american women,and I also might pass as a Local(even though since I do look like Krishna paintings and murtis,I could be mistaken as a Gypsy).However the Gypsy part is mitigated once I open my mouth and talk in fluent american accented English.

Some Balkan countries have legalized prostitution for a Cheap price,so theres always that.and Safety is not an Issue there.

Balkan women are also tall and long legged,and that is something I have a big boner for.They come in a diversity of colorings and features aswell!

The Balkan food is great and the weather is superb.

There are very little minorities there to cause crime(I'm not saying all minorities cause crime or are bad,but in the usa they do,and the less minority the more safe)or hostility towards the locals.

I am definately looking into going to Bulgaria in the summer of next year,to go on a sexcation so to speak,if and when I find my finances in order,it is also a place I am looking into to find a long term partner.

Women are not only more beautiful in the eastern section of europe,but also more easy to have a relationship with and get a relationship with.

So I think I have found the perfect HA spot,and I can just move to alot of Eastern European countries without hassle,if hopefully the EU lasts.

[gsjackson]

Always compromises. Right now I'm into food, and the U.S. surges to the front of the pack, even though in general its food quality is inferior. You have to pay more for decent food, but anything is available here. I just spent two months in Bulgaria, where it was almost impossible to get decent beef.

And the scamdemic is never far from mind now. When they run another one, or do a climate change hoax, or war with Russia -- whatever they do to try to subjugate the world's people, and they will do something -- I'm far more comfortable with the U.S. federal system, where you have a chance to escape some of the bullshit in a red state. The governments of places like Bulgaria and Colombia are purchased for a song, and will sell out their country in a heartbeat.

So at the moment I'm not interested in being abroad. I just flew across the Atlantic for the 24th time, and I'm really, really sick of doing that. I suppose I'll think differently when the American porker parade starts to pass by, but Europe isn't too far behind in that regard. When I first started coming to Bucharest I'd see all kinds of hot women. Was just there for 12 days, and the rise in obesity is shocking. You'd almost think you were in an American mall.

Colombia is an often over-hyped location, especially Medellin and the Caribe cities like Cartagena and Barranquilla. Fact of the matter is, after the "golden decade" that coincided with the presidency of Alvaro Uribe and the special trade agreement with the US which brought millions of jobs, from construction to flower farming, the situation has been deteriorating since.

The main problem about Colombia, right now, is not the warm-but-not-so-hot weather and the bountiful nature: those will always be there, save catastrophic climate changes. The main problem is safety and the way people treat foreigners.

Since I have experienced both countries and societies, I often think of Colombia as a more violent version of the Philippines, with far more guns and machetes and far more trigger-happy people. In the Philippines if you start flirting with a cute girl, you will find her family quickly blessing your relationship with her, so they can start asking for financial help. Do the same in rural Colombia, or even some barrios of the large cities, and you might have her brother or cousin or even Dad chasing you with a loaded firearm.

Of course this is much less likely to happen if you live in a gentrified area of a large city, say Laureles in Medellin. However, those are also the areas where the posh, stiff-upper-lip girls live, who will be unlikely to be impressed by average Gringo.

I think I heard Brian Rose on his channel London Real once say "Difference cities speak to different personalities". He moved to London from NYC and loved it. Conversely he said living in NYC kicked his ass.

Andrew Henderson from Nomad Capitalist has a slogan "Go where you're treated best". His clients are wealthy so he probably is talking about financial matters.

I've heard Winston and others say that the places they love going to are the ones that "make them feel alive".

When I would wake up in Vietnam, I felt tons of energy and could not wait to get out of bed and start the day. Only thing that held me back was not speaking the language.

Of course no place is perfect. Go where you feel you can live your best life every day.

Wes, in the below link, married a Colombian woman. Their marriage fell apart and they went throught a divorce. He decided to leave Colombia because he was receiving death threats. His video has an an audio recording of a death threat (see about at 12:20)

Do you have any opinion on the below website? The owner is a german guy. He claims that the women are carefully screened and they all have jobs and are legitimate.

The video is quite insightful for a number of reasons. One reason is something that I think has never been discussed here, not my memory, at least.

That thing is the issue with the alternative Christian and Catholic churches and movements that flourished and thrive in Colombia. Most of them are of the Charismatic type, some sort of Baptist or Pentecostal derivative, with preachers, slogans to chant, closely-knit communities, etc. We are nowhere near the level of the churches/cults in Brazil, but a sizeable amount still.

Why am I mentioning this? Because my ex-wife's auntie (her guardian, the woman who brought her up) also belonged to one of these alternative Catholic churches. And believe me, just like with the standard-fare Catholic churches, these are communities absolutely steeped in hypocrisy. Not dissimilarly from what happens in the Philippines.

My saving grace with my ex-wife was that neither I not she were members of this church, not we wanted to have anything to do with it. We only had a civil marriage in Medellin. Unlike the man on the video, we didn't even have a chance to "be embraced" by the church. It most cases, it's all a mask, it's all foreplay. If people belong to this church, or to any church for that matter, have bad intentions, they will show them no matter what.

About the dating site, I have no idea how online dating might work in Colombia, since I didn't meet my ex-wife from that channel. I met her in Cambridge UK while she was studying English for 6 months (which then became more than a year, once we started our relationship). All I can say is that the only Colombian women who may want to put themselves on a website, especially one design to put them in touch with foreign men, are divorced moms who have a problem making ends meet, or the odd misfit, a girl still single but with mental problem, or ostracised by their community because of something she or her family did. For the latter category, you may never find out, not even after you actually meet, court and marry them!

If a foreigner is young, good looking, can dance Latino, drink high-sugar alcohol (tequila, aguardiente, rum) without passing out, then I think casual dating apps, the Tinder type, would be a lot better.

[fschmidt]

The problem with Latin America is that it is too noisy. It is so noisy that no one ever has a chance to think, so they become morons.

Yes, there is no perfect location.

I have been doing some research, and Tinder is really dangerous. There are a lot of women on it who are controlled by gangs and they drug you with scopolamine to rob you. That is why it is important to have an agency like the one I mentioned to screen for women who really want a relationship.

Here is a facebook group on scopolamine alerts

Many people who are "lower status" in their locality would greatly benefit by moving to another location or country where their status is elevated. Or at least their perception of their own status is better.

Jordan Peterson calls this a "dominance hierarchy". If you're low in the dominance hierarchy, your quality of life / mood / happiness will be poor. He has a video on youtube that explains how those who are higher up in the dominance hierarchy literally have higher serotonin levels than those who are lower. Just do a search on youtube for "dominance hierarchy serotonin".

There's another theory called "social rank theory" which proposes that your overall mental health and self esteem is directly correlated to your relative rank in the social hierarchy.

That is absolutely true. Scopolamine mugging or burglary is an absolute plague in Colombia. Even my ex-wife, when a student, was mugged in broad daylight. They stole an expensive scientific calculator she had received a gift, for completing the first 2 years of Engineering school.

I would assume that Tinder and other casual hookup sites are relatively safe if you are a local, since they are used by local. All in all, Colombia is a culture of brash, direct, physical approach on the dancefloor of a bar. It just doesn't get less virtual than that

Yes, when an Englishman goes for a walk, he thinks and contemplates on the important things of life!

When an American goes for a walk, he thinks and contemplates on his dull life of misery.

Colombia is an often over-hyped location, especially Medellin and the Caribe cities like Cartagena and Barranquilla.

Colombia is a country which appeals to me because it falls within the geographical region of Latin America with an abundance of triracial Latinas with Africanized booties. Those are the Latinas that I love the most.

Other Latin American countries such as Peru, Chile and Mexico have okay-looking women - many Mestizas with European and Amerindian DNA but without significant African admixture -, while Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Central America (e.g., Honduras) all have significant African admixture and many of the women are therefore blessed with the classical Latina bombshell figure and perfectly round bubble butts that look like they were sculpted on Mount Olympus. It is this second type of Latina that I'm obsessed with and get my dick the hardest.

Out of the countries with many delicious triracial Latinas with Africanized booties mentioned above, Colombia and Brazil seem like the most accessible for me and at least have some level of stability. On the other hand, Venezuela is extremely unstable due to political unrest, Honduras is a borderline failed state, and Puerto Rico is basically the US. Moreover, I think that Colombia and Brazil have some of the hottest mamacitas in the world.

If I go to Colombia, I don't want to stay in Medellín or the Caribe cities. I've been looking into various other cities including Pereira, Bucaramanga and Cali.

By the way, people, check out my other thread on Different Phenotypes of Latinas: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45757 (¡Puro fuego!)

Why don't you make it easy and take one of the top most safe small cities in Colombia?

[Lucas88]

Why don't you make it easy and take one of the top most safe small cities in Colombia?

Yep, that's a good idea and is something that I've been looking into.

In fact, I actually made a thread on the safest and most dangerous Colombian cities based on evaluations from NUMBEO: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=47633

Of the smaller cities, Pereira, Manizales and Tunja stand out with a safety index of 61.26%, 59.27% and 63.48% respectively. Curiously, all of those scores are slightly higher than the nearest city to me in the UK, according to the same source.

Pereira looks nice and is often described as a "little Medellín". It also has an awesome thermal resort in Santa Rosa de Cabal just outside the city.

Here's another thread which I made about the various Colombian highland cities and which includes images and videos of Pereira and Santa Rosa de Cabal: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=47198

Tunja, on the other hand, is situated at an elevation of 2,820m and is therefore too high-altitude for my tastes. I don't want that much cold or altitude sickness.

I usually feel perfectly happy in Valencia, Spain and think that it's the most suitable place for me in most regards. However, I often become possessed by the spirit of adventure and long for that sexual frenzy with so many big booty Latinas and so Latin America always calls me.

Ideally, I'd live six months of the year in Valencia and the other six months in a Colombian city of my choosing.
