The Hedonist: World Travel Guide Review

After a trip to the Philippines I decided that I liked traveling abroad and sampling wonderful women around the world. There aren't that many resources that I could find that pointed me toward the best spots for what I was looking for until I found this book. I did find some information on the Internet, but it was scattered and somewhat unreliable.
I can't say that this guide is completely up-to-date, but no travel guide is. Instead I found it useful as a guide to point me towards the best countries and cities that offered beautiful women without the attitude. Even if some of the bars and clubs listed where no longer around, it totally doesn't matter once you get where you're going. The point is to go to the right cities and then fun seems to find you. That's why I dig this book - of the four of five places I've visited, all delivered what I was looking for.
If you're not finding what you want in the States, buy this book and just pick a city in the climate you're comfortable in. Be social, ask questions and you'll find that life is much, much easier overseas.
Highly recommended.

Curious, if partially useful - NM Crusader - Las Cruces, NM United States
The problem with this book is not that it is inaccurate: based on my personal experience in Amsterdam, Mexico, and other places not listed here, it seems to provide a good assessment of the girl-for-rent business in the places surveyed. My gripes revolve around a number of other issues.
First, let me begin on a positive note by praising the introductory chapters, which put whole "game plan" into perspective. I especially liked the 20 rules to live by if one decides to become one of the players; although I might add two of my own (Always brings your own condoms; and Never rely exclusively on this book--supplement it with internet research).
Now for the critical part. As others have mentioned, the grammar (and editing) of this book is inexcusable! For instance, the author (and editors, such as they are) never seemed to have learned the difference between "their" (a possessive pronoun) and "they're" (a contraction of "they are"). Come on guys! This is elementary school stuff!
But beyond that, I don't understand 1) who the intended audience is for this book; and 2) why certain sites were selected and others omitted. First, in term of audience: the author repeatedly elbows his reader in the ribs in his derision of any sort of cultural activities (especially museum going) that are available in the various locales. Yes, I do understand that this is supposed to be a travel guide for sex-for-hire, and not a Blue Guide; but this attitude seems to imply that sex is the one-and-only thing that real men find interesting (except perhaps deep sea fishing and golfing, which are given brief mention). Okay. There are probably quite a few guys out there who are like this. However, these knuckle-draggers probably do not have either the funds for or the interest in traveling abroad. Anyone who can afford and is interested in foreign travel will much more likely be looking for a little intellectual stimulation as well as satisfying his more primal urges. Therefore, my advice for the author, if he plans on writing a new edition, is to put a little more effort into describing the cultural scenes and cut out the art-is-only-for-fairies jokes. After all, art lovers are hedonists too!
As for the locations that are covered: some--such as Rio, Amsterdam, Bangkok, San Jose (Costa Rica), even Frankfurt--make absolute sense. Most guys interested in extra-cirricular activity have probably heard about the allure these places; and they offer opportunities rarely found elsewhere. And here is where the book really shines, with lots of practical advice. But certain other sites (Buones Aires sticks out in particular) seem to be in a whole other class that offers much less. In such cases, I think the author would have been better served by discussing whole countries instead of individual cities.
Bottom line: this book is probably worth having if you are interested in seeking out alternate pleasures during your foreign holidays. I don't know of any other guide that contains as much information on its subject in one publication. At the same time, there is probably nothing in here that cannot be found--in more updated fashion--on the Internet with a little research.
Solid guide for single guys - Jamesbond33 - Washington, DC USA
Great book. Provide good information while in Argentina. I am traveling to Brazil soon, any word on replacement clubs for Help Disco now that it has closed?
A must own - J. Webb -
I bought this guide on referral from a former running buddy of mine. After 3 trips I can tell you it is spot on accurate, extremely funny, and points you towards everything a single guy wants to do in a hurry.
Written for guys who love casinos, ocean fishing, exotic golf courses, and umbrellas drinks shared with hotties on the beach. Some of the most kicking party cities in the world, with a lot of cities you probably have never heard of. While you're at it, pick up a copy of his new book; it's flat out the funniest thing ever written.
