A lot of guys I talk to are actually doing pretty well in life. They have a decent career or business. They make money. Some of them can travel whenever they want.
But when it comes to dating, somehow it still feels way harder than it should. Dating apps give them a few matches, but most of them go nowhere. They see women they like in real life but hesitate too long to approach. They go on dates, spend time and money and then realize they’re not even sure if the woman was genuinely interested in them. And after enough ghosting, bad dates, boring conversations and frustration, they start asking themselves:
Maybe dating would just be easier somewhere else?
And sometimes, yes.
Going abroad can completely change your dating opportunities.
You might suddenly meet more women you’re actually attracted to. You might find that women are more open to conversations. Maybe the culture fits you better. Maybe the type of man you are is simply valued more in another country than where you currently live. That’s real.
But this is also where a lot of guys get it wrong. Because getting on a plane doesn’t automatically fix your dating life. It just gives you a different environment. And then suddenly you have a whole new set of questions:
Where should I actually go?
Which country fits what I’m looking for?
How do I meet women beyond Tinder and Bumble?
How do I know if she actually likes me or if she likes the fact that I’m foreign, have money, a certain lifestyle or a stronger passport?
How much should I invest early on?
How do I avoid wasting weeks, months and money on the wrong woman or the wrong situation?
And then there’s another part that people don’t talk about enough. What happens if you finally go somewhere where you have more opportunities but you still hesitate to approach?
You still don’t know how to flirt.
You don’t know how to move a conversation forward.
You overthink every interaction.
You don’t know how to read interest.
You don’t know when to walk away.
You don’t know how to behave on a date and make something happen.
You don’t know how to filter the wrong women.
That’s why I don’t believe dating abroad is just about finding the “best country.” A better country can give you better opportunities. But it doesn’t automatically make you better at dating.
And this is exactly what The Global Dating Brief is about.
Yes, I’ll talk about countries, cities, cultures, where to go, where to meet women and what dating actually looks like on the ground. But I’ll also talk about the fundamentals underneath all of it:
How to approach when you normally hesitate.
How to start conversations naturally.
How to become more confident around women.
How to flirt without forcing it.
How to lead dates better.
How to stop overinvesting too early.
How to understand whether a woman is genuinely interested.
How to improve your Instagram and dating apps, your social circle and your overall dating opportunities.
How to make better decisions about who you spend your time with.
Because these things matter whether you’re dating in Warsaw, Miami, Medellín, Bangkok or five minutes from your home. The country changes.
The fundamentals don’t. And to be clear, I’m not saying you need to be some dating machine in your home country before you’re “allowed” to date abroad. Sometimes the environment really does make a huge difference. You might simply be more attractive in another market. Your personality might fit better. Your lifestyle might fit better. The kind of relationship you want might be more common there. You may genuinely be able to date a higher quality of woman abroad than you can in your current environment.
But if you don’t know how to meet, connect with, understand and communicate with women, the new country can only do so much for you.
So my goal with this newsletter is pretty simple:
Help you create better dating opportunities and become better at actually using them. I’ll share real stories from my travels and own dating life. Things I see in different countries. Lessons from coaching clients. Mistakes I see guys making again and again. Conversations with women. Practical dating strategies you can actually use like what to text, what to say, how to set up and use Instagram and dating apps correctly and a lot more.
Some editions will be mainly about dating abroad. Some will be about dating skills in general. Most will probably be a mix of both.
Because in the end, the two belong together.
