Bend Oregon, USA
Brief Overview of the City
Bend, Oregon. Located in the pacific northwest is a popular tourist spot, with 20 plus breweries, 100s of lakes and hiking trails, right next to the cascade range, there are 6 - 7 peaks visible the highest in the area being South Sister at just over 10,000ft. If winter is your thing, Mt. Bachelor, one of the top ski resorts in the country is about a 20min drive from town. There are also multiple golf courses, and a pretty decent night life. Its also a great place for fishing and hunting if thats your thing, and as i said there are 100s of lakes, with all kinds of boat rentals etc.
The Women
Here you will find just about everything in woman, your typical american white woman and latinas are the most common, but there are some asian and black girls here as well. The general attitude is very laid back, the city has exploded in the last 5 years. Beer is very popular here, its not uncommon to see woman in short skirts, swim suits etc, having a beer at the pub at noon. Just like everywhere youll find your stuck up bitches, but in general, the girls are very laid back and approachable. In the clubs and pubs it will be 21 and over, there is a community college in town, so its mostly 21-35 which the majority being in the low to mid 20s age wise, its not uncommon though for the cougars and milfs to be on the prowl as well, another note, is this is a pretty active town, so the girls are in pretty good shape for the most part. If your into the teen age girls, hit the parks, rivers and lakes. Looks wise, the clubs will have tons of 6s and 7s with a good amount of 8s and afew 9s or possible 10. 5s and below arent really that common, they are there but in fewer numbers. Its easy to find cute girls here.
Game
Alright starting with the positives etc. Foreginers will have no problem cleaning house regardless of what your skin color or nationality is, If your english, irish etc, you will be completely clean house here, but even being from pretty much any other country you will have a leg up on the rest of the compatition.
Day game, as i said earlier, Breweries are everywhere here, the best day game is to hit one of the breweries in the afternoon, have a few drinks , talk to some girls, get numbers and set something up for that evening. There are also many parks by the deschutes river which runes right close to down town, this is a good area, as well as downtown bend, girls are always out walking in the sun, looking through shops, they are receptive to direct approaches, i think it kind of catches them off guard because its not as common.
Night game, walk down town, use the direct approach, ask them what they are up to that night and if they want to grab a drink, girls will walk downtown all afternoon and evening and then the clubs will start getting packed about 11pm. Once in the club, dancing will be the best way, find your target, and just start dancing with her, you will have plenty to choose from. The guy to girl ratio is pretty even, i would say girls out numbering guys slightly. But for the most part, the guys are the types to sit back, hoping a girl will come to them. If your direct and forward, youll have more success.
Piplining, if your not from the area might be helpful, ive personally never used it. But i think it would be worth the effort to get some dates lined up, if you end up not liking them its always easy to ditch them and follow the above advice.
Biggest problem you might encounter is cock blocking from other guys. But this is advoidable if you have a good personality and sense of humor.
Other note, is one thing i have found here is confidence, when i was younger, i was the hesitent to go up to girls type of guy, oh they are out of my leaugue etc. Once i stopped giving a fuck, ive had alot more success with better quality.
Nightlife Recommendations
The 5 bars i listed will be good for day or evening game, also night game, but your better off at the clubs after 10pm. The 2 clubs are Seven and Summit, with Seven being the only real club. All of these places are within afew blocks of each other, so if 1 is not working out, its vry easy to hop over to another place. All of these places are similar in price, your going to pay about 4-5$ for a pint, and 7-10$ for a mixed drink. Also, if your from a big city etc or traveled alot, these clubs will probably disappoint, but as far as in the local area, if you are in town, they are the places to go, and ill do my best to explain, but a clubs a clubs a club.
900 Wall ST :
Classy place, good vide and good food, not the type of place you will find the sluts, more the higher end hangout.
Velvet :
Popular place with the 20 - 30 age range, very small place, but comfortable, with big couches to sit on, good place to get close to someone, dim lighting, very good vibe to the place, also close to drake park and the river, maybe 3 min walk.
Astros:
This is probably one of the most popular places to hangout before going down to the clubs, place is always packed at night, also not the biggest place, good pregame spot.
10 Barrell Brewing:
Another very popular place, again not the place your going to find the slutty girls, but the more classy ones, very good beer, also an outside bar and fire pits outside as well. Just a good chill spot to have afew pints in the afternoon or evening before heading downtown, or on a slow week night.
Deschutes Brewery Pub:
This is one of Bends best knowen breweries, i believe it is the 5th largest kraft brewery in the United States, very very good beer. There is a pub located downtown, and the actual brewery up river. You can go to the brewery for a free tour and tasting, pretty interesting stuff, and then head downtown to the pub for some awesome food and more good beer. Pricing again is alittle on the high end, but not any worse than your average resteraunt. Good place to hangout in the afternoon.
Seven:
Downtown bend, not the biggest club, but ALWAYS packed at night, this is where youll find a mix of the slutty college girls and also some of the classier ladies out to party, good music, cage in the middle of the floor, good lights and fog etc. There was another big club that closed, so this place gets the most attention now.
Summit:
This place is hit or miss, its the only other place in town with a dance floor, generally has good music, but is also probably the most run down of the 3. Its either really good, or really not. If the other 2 arent doing well, ill usually pop in here and see what the situation is.
Westside Tavern:
All the places above will stop selling alcohol around 2am, then its a mad dash for everyone to westside tavern which is notorious for serving until 230 sometimes later. This place is also ALWAYS packed on pretty much any given night, and is definetly the place to go on a week night if the others arent going well. Also prime place for the slutty college girls, not the biggest place, but good vibe and good people.
Day Game Locations (optional)
Day game locations, as i said, just walk around downtown in the afternoon, pop into one of the pubs or bars listed. The river runs next to downtown, and everyone of all ages floats down the river, drinking etc... good eye candy and oppurtunity for day game out on the river, also there is a shuttle that will take you back up river for about 2-3$.
Other Info / Recommendations? (optional)
Alright the clubs and pubs i listed above are the obviously night life things to do. For the other side of things...ill list what are in my opinion the best places to check out, and then ill add some links so you can see for yourself, and also read more into them.
Smith Rock State Park
South Sister Summit Trail
Floating the Deschutes River
Lake billy Chinook
Prinville resivor
Literally 100s of other smaller lakes, those are the big ones.
100s of Caves around here if you like to go caving.
Mt. Bachelor in the winter time, in the summer time the ski lift does still run for a very small price and if you dont feel like walking up the mountain, thats a good way to cheat and still get a good view.
Crater Lake is a bit of a drive, but its worth seeing, the deepest lake in the United Sates.
