So you want to pick up girls in South Beach? We’ll start with the good things about South Beach, and then the bad as it’s quite a mixed bag.
South Beach is actually a man-made barrier island between the city of Miami and the Atlantic Ocean. You can go back and forth between South Beach and Miami by driving over a very long bridge. So South Beach has its own culture that is distinct from the rest of Miami.
For one, you can get around South Beach walking, whereas in Miami you need a car. Which is pretty cool because you can walk between the beach, clubs, bars, and restaurants, and back to your hotel.
During March, the beach swells with girls on Spring Break – it’s literally wall to wall college girls in bikinis covering the beach – and it’s a BIG beach.
There’s a strip of clubs and bars too.
Now the downsides.
It’s a pretty expensive place. Hotels run at minimum about $150 per night, and it’s far more expensive during events like Spring Break. There are two or three hostels, but they’re not that great, lack privacy, and can be overcrowded.
In summer it’s HOT and HUMID. Like disgustingly “I don’t want to go outside” humid.
It’s not exactly a tropical paradise. The beaches are white and set back from the road, but the place is highly developed for tourists. There’s not much natural beauty there.
The club entrances can be extensive ($20 to $40) and there’s often long lines to get inside (like 1 to 2 hours of waiting outside). You can avoid the lines if you have a bunch of girls with you, and even then it’s not always guaranteed.
Sometimes the clubs can be packed with guys too – like 3 guys to every girl.
Drug use is big and some of the girls will be high as kites.
The women are not particularly friendly. Not mean. But not really friendly either. Picking up by being a laid back, “nice guy” won’t cut it. Expect blow out after blow out and stay in the set no matter what until you turn them around. It’s intense and a rush, but don’t expect to just breeze on in and pull girls with little effort.
If you can get into an exclusive party or a roped off VIP area, there can be a lot of beautiful women. But if you’re in the normal area of a club or in a general nightclub, I found that the women aren’t that attractive. Unless you’re a VIP, the 9’s and 10’s, and often even the 8’s, will be roped off from you.
You’ll find a lot of guys who save up there year’s savings so that one weekend they can splurge and burn all their money renting a Ferrari and trying to pickup girls, but end up buying prostitutes. You’ll meet a lot of strange characters.
Generally I would call South Beach the most overrated club scene in the world I’ve been to – meaning that the hype the marketers generate for it as being a great place to meet hot women far exceeds the actually reality. The whole club scene more resembles a way to fleece horny young tourist guys of their money.
As for day game, most of the girls walking the streets aren’t particularly beautiful. There’s a lot of homeless people and drug junkies. It depends on what time of the year it is, and if it’s a busy tourist weekend, in which case you’ll find a lot more girls who flew in for the weekend.
Really, the best place to pickup women is on the beach itself. If you wake up early as the sun is rising, or later in the evening when the sun is not so intense, and you have SOLID beach game, you can meet more attractive women that way.
If you decide to move to South Beach to LIVE year round, that can solve some of the problems. If you’re game is good, you can meet the right people and get the connections into the VIP areas and so on. Still, summers are brutal hot, and many winter days are too cold for the beach. And even when you meet a girl, most of them leave a few days later since they’re all on vacation. The people I know who moved there all moved away after a year for one reason or another.
If you want to get laid on Spring Break, I would recommend going to Cancun instead. If you want relaxing beaches and nature, go to Costa Rica. If you want a Latin nightlife experience, go to the city of Miami or Costa Rica. South Beach, while it has positives for it, generally isn’t worth it when you’ve got so many other options.
Then again, you might love it there… some people do. Everyone is different. That’s just my take.
