My personal opinion on Freiburg
Hey guys,
So, I just thought of giving a quick opinion on Freiburg, as it's the city picked for this project. Last time I went there was almost 8 years ago. It was during winter and I stayed with friends from Switzerland there to celebrate New Year's eve 2017. Back then I was a total loser so no dating (and none of my friends were into "the game" anyways), but I enjoyed the city and already noticed how on average girls were more attractive than in Switzerland haha. Good news: I can confirm it's still the case in 2024, even if TBF the bar isn't really high.
Anyways, last week, before moving there, I created a new Tinder account and moved my location to Freiburg. I used a double boost and got a dozen of likes which resulted in generating 2 leads. Unfortunately, one of these flaked on me when I arrived on Thursday, but the other one resulted in a lay, as reported in my log. Because of that flake, I used another 2 double boosts throughout the day. The results were totally useless because most likes were from outside the city. It's Tinder's fault, as I noticed that since mid-2023 boosts are showing the profile more to distant girls than to girls nearby. I had the same shit happening in Poland and Switzerland. My conclusion was that OLD is really going down the drain at this point.
While my boosts were giving garbage-tier results, I tried to approach girls, taking advantage of having an experienced wing by my side, but couldn't even get one approach because of my severe AA. Cain was so nice that he even opened a couple of girls for me haha... and to my surprise I got two new leads. Unfortunately, nothing came out of it, even if one of the two girls seemed genuinely interested but was in a bad mental state just after having been physically hit by her ex... she apologized for flaking on me. The next day I finally got 3 approaches done and I got a number, which resulted in a nice date, but I couldn't pull her unfortunately. So, to conclude the dating/SMP aspect, I think Freiburg is a good city, but the volume is maybe still too low for OLD. On the other hand, there's a lot of diversity, as you can find girls from all ethnicities (and I really tried to go on a date with a black girl haha).
Now, the city itself is pretty and clean, I really like the old town. There are a lot of nice dating spots, a couple of parks, and pubs & bars everywhere that serve good beer!
Logistics and transports are good around there, but parking my car without feeling ripped off was a challenge because most parkings are insanely expensive for Germany (up to €30 a day!!!).
There's a nice nightlife going on even if I'm not a fan of clubs because I hate having my ears mistreated by some loud & shitty music. I was surprised that the venue we visited with Cain actually had more girls than guys! Usually it's the opposite in most venues. He also showed me a super leftist bar as a kind of joke. We had fun there, but obviously it's not my vibe as I'm on the opposite side of the political spectrum (and I'm not into feminists with unshaved armpits haha). On the other hand, I really liked the pubs we visited and the rooftop bar Skajo is definitely my favorite (and it's where I took my very first daygame date).
Also the city seems safe, but I can't really judge this with my very short stay. All I can is that I never felt threatened, even when crossing alone a park full of migrants and drug leaders lmao. It's a city in Germany (and Western Europe), thus of course you have to expect it has its share of beggars, drug dealers and (illegal?) migrants.
All in all, I give Freiburg a solid 7/10 and I never thought I would rate a German city so highly TBH. It's pretty, it has a good SMP, and tons of cool places to visit.
For comparison, I rate Kraków 10/10 as it's absolutely perfect and the best city I visited by a margin all things considered, and I rate my fucking village in the Alps 0/10 on the other extreme lmao.
In between, I would rate other cities where I experienced dating as follows:
- Warsaw (Poland) - 8/10 : Great volume and quality of girls, but too big for my taste, makes logistics less optimal when you have to move from one place to another. Also will never be as beautiful as Kraków.
- Gdańsk + Sopot (Poland) - 9/10 : Gorgeous cities with a great volume and quality, and have the Baltic Sea as a bonus. Kraków is still above in terms of logistics, vibe and weather though.
- Katowice (Poland) - 8/10 : Lower volume than the previous cities mentioned, but still very high quality of girls (it's Poland after all), and has nice places to visit. Very peaceful vibe.
- Geneva (Switzerland) - 4/10 : Has a nice airport to quickly fly to better SMPs abroad. I'm always in a good mood when I'm entering Geneva because it means that I'm about to leave Switzerland lmao. It has more volume than Lausanne, so it probably should be better, but I didn't bother to check it seriously. Also, it has a lot of French girls (which I find usually more pleasant than Swiss ones).
- Lausanne (Switzerland) - 3/10 : Leftist shithole, not very pretty, but has decent volume thanks to its big student population, and it has a lot of diversity if you're into non-white girls (I'm into all ethnicities even if I have a preference for Slavic girls). Also, it has a few cool bars and the nightlife is decent. I used to study IT there but I was a total loser back then, I only had a few dates there recently.
- Montreux (Switzerland) - 3/10 : Low volume but a lot of Asian tourists, and a few events that suddenly bring a lot of volume. This city is pretty but has a population of only 26K people. I used to work there but was still a loser back then, but I saw the potential during big events.
- Sion (Switzerland) - 2/10 : It gets 2 because it has 2 nice castles! Joke aside, it's the biggest city in my Alpine region with an incredible population of… 36K people. That's the closest city where I can consider trying daygame in Switzerland.
- Sierre (Switzerland) - 1/10 : It's the closest “city” from my village but has nothing really interesting (except a nice castle). A population of 18K people, so rock bottom volume. I go to the gym there but I don't think I would dare to approach there. Or maybe I should?
Anyways, I could continue this list with a few more trashy cities, but I'm getting really off topic at this point lol. So basically, I think Freiburg is way better than any city where I have experienced dating in Switzerland. Thanks again to
@CainGettingLaid for the invitation! It was really cool!
