[THREAD] Ok folks, I have been in Chile 🇨🇱 and Santiago for some time now, thought I'd do a thread on the city/country as it flew under the radar in LATAM Twitter. Just my personal take;
The food is also average. They have very little gastronomy of their own and the copycats of Peruvian and Mexican restaurants were not great.
People are pretty cold. Different from other latinos. Seem to have a complex of superiority. Just my sensation.
Sorry for getting political, but I need to address the elephant in the room; people are so left leaning and woke. You can almost feel it. People are overly tattooed, slogans of anarchism and communism everywhere, climate change, feminism, patriarchy, you name it.
This might be my most controversial take; On AVERAGE, Chileans are the most beautiful women I've seen on the continent. I am NOT saying they have the hottest women, but they are on average the prettiest. Might be my preference but that castiza with dark hair just does it for me.
The accent is very thick pooo, it wasn't as horrible as people warned me for, I personally find caribbeans to be much worse, but Chilean Spanish definitely has a strong touch to it and not the easiest to practice.
Now the PROS+: The country is super well organized and CLEAN. Felt like a 1st world country in most places. Modern city, transportation, they use cards to pay almost everywhere, cash is barely used, public transportation is on time, feels safe, less of that latino nonchalance.
The nightlife sucks. It's supposed to be summer, and you can hardly find any big venues, there's no action. The clubs in the center of Santiago weren't impressive at all. It's not as bad as Canada, but definitely way below Colombia, Mexico and other LATAM destinations.
Probably amongst the best countries in the world for nature. At the North, at the South, Patagonia, the hiking trails, there is just so much to do and explore. I would eventually come back with my girlfriend and spend a whole month doing so.
If you suck at Spanish, they are the best of the continent in English. As I said it's well organized and easy to travel around. It would probably be one of the easiest country to explore first as a gringo. But do it for the nature. Santiago can be done within 3 days.
I'll start with the CONS - : 1st, we are so insanely far from civilization. Like they say here, it's literally "al fin del mundo", at the end of the world. 15 hour flight from Europe, 11 hours from North America, a nightmare. Even Peru the northern neighbour is a 4 hour flight.
So I would never establish myself here or even make it a recurrent place to see. It falls behind as a 2nd tier destination IMO, especially for a young man. You can have more fun, eat better and enjoy life more elsewhere. Only top perk is the nature and darkhaired chicas.
6.5/10
So for logistics reason, I would never seriously consider living here.
Also, being in the southern hemisphere, it's currently summertime and it's super hot, 33-35 degrees C everyday. Depends if you like really hot weather or not.

Hablo árabe y francés, y también soy de 2 países con muchos modismos en estos idiomas. El chileno es pan comido comparado con el nivel de complejidad que manejo a diario. Lo siento, no me impresionas con tu dialecto de pueblito

@alpharivelino
you confuse sex and relationship just like women do. of course anybody would smash but then you throw her back to the street
@alpharivelino
First approach of the day is rarely the best. Just like an instrument, you need to tune your voice, posture, confidence etc. 2nd and 3rd are usually much better.
@honestwamen
he doesn’t get it, you can see his disappointment and that he puts on the nice guy facade playing it cool. but not worried for him he prob gettin a ton
@Q64848200Joseph
In Argentina it is more extreme and emotional, like in the rest of the continent. In Chile it’s rationalized, institutionalized and firmly implemented.
@Justlovefood
Good catch, English is my 3rd language so sometimes my choice of word is poor. Should have used feeling indeed, but I said sensation because of my native French.
@S_O_L_E_SOL
han sido invadidos, en serio? les deseo que nunca experimenten una invasión como hay en otros países. a mi no me importa tanto la fiesta en Chile, pero la vida nocturna es un tema que siempre se comenta en los post turisticos, no entiendo por qué se ponen tan susceptible a eso
@Luc_AI_Insights
Yes, and not even in the same category. Argentina is far more enjoyable in almost every aspect. Chileans can only dream of having a city as spectacular as Buenos Aires. but hey, I’ll get stormed by Chileans saying that I’m a fascist and that I haven’t experienced x and y.
@K4KCrypto
Be honest, would you ever have thought you would make such a tweet 48hrs ago? claiming TEN THOUSAND PLS a transaction is good? I’m not saying it’s dramatic and I know it’s worth nothing for now, I’m just tired of always trying to adapt to fit the narrative
Hey guys, it's yet again your favorite gringo sapo culiao chuchetumare. As we reached a storming 1 million views on my last thread (you're welcome for putting your country on the map), I think it was time I addressed some points about my stay in Chile and what I wrote;

dios mio, imaginate debatir con un desconocido en internet sobre si debería usar agua del grifo para lavarse los dientes. la gente realmente necesita tener una vida fuera de X.
@BecomeAManAgain
I had dinner with a girl in my hotel restaurant. She said “just so you know I’ll go home after”. One of the funniest shittest.
I’ll do my answer for you; “Yea cool”
Her surprise and smile was priceless. She so expected me to react to that. Later we had dessert in my room.
@gabyvivasbtc
The realization came to me from the fact that after a date abroad, the girl actually thanks me. I was discussing that with my friends in Canada and asked them, when did a girl actually thank you after a date?
Crickets
May be a detail but reveals a lot imo.
@LuisZContreras
I am, it’s fkn delicious and my project is to export it to LATAM.
But frankly I don’t see the point. Canadian food absolutely sucks. And? I couldn’t critic another country’s gastronomy because of that? It’s absurd.
So that was all folks, I am now in another country and this experience motivated me to write other threads about all the other fantastic places I visited. That will be my last post for Chile which frankly, got way more attention than it deserved and that I intented to. Un abrazo
@98sThoughts
the funniest thing is how with that past he still bragged that she didnt let him smash for a while and it showed him how much of a good woman she was
@perrodelinchera
if I were as abrasive and insulting as others on this thread I’d say that it’s pretty ignorant from your part to think Canadians only speak English, but I’m more welcoming. Ever heard of Georges St-Pierre?
Writing in English takes me twice the time as in French. If I knew that
@goldk3y_
with hindsight, this disastrous event will emerge as a blessing. millions of eHEX have been transferred from the indecisive to the strongest unshakable hands in the market who even increased their position. LFG
@Razf_
Gym is a very very bad place to chat girls. Even if she likes you she’ll ponder about seeing you everyday and future awkwardness if it doesn’t work out. Do the same thing in coffee shops, bookstores, parks, and get 10x better results
@hexedits369
all these pumps were without the presence of pHEX
wonder how it will influence things
I’m personally 75-25 in eHEX so trying to get pHEX to balance but I hate the 2 to 1 ratio
I think my thread was positive on so many aspects, but some Chileans have a real problem with criticism and only register the bad. I was quickly stormed by death threats (but also love letters😘). Most ironically, the very antiracist woke leftists were the first one to call me a
@alpharivelino
not taking? who are you referring to?
I’ll assume you’re American. cracks me up how the superiority complex makes you not even precise “USA” in a statement
@alpharivelino
Depends if it’s direct (masculine) or indirect (feminine). Last week I was ordering at a bar and a girl next to me randomly gets close, ours arms touch. That’s not random at all. From the first eye contact I knew it was on. I think she “approached” me but not a red flag imo.
@alpharivelino
There is generally a decorrelation between manifestation of violence and IQ with rare exceptions. Individuals incarcerated are usually high testosterone + low IQ.
@CosmoJenkinz
thank god it’s happening now, if they were smart and wanted to destroy us they would have released it in the midst of a bull market, can you imagine how much it would have destroyed the pump? right now at the bottom of the bear it’s actually a blessing in disguise.
@ynespinoza
@AndrePaz
I get that a lot, and it’s probably true, but in a country with a rich and rooted gastronomy (Mexico, Peru, Morocco, Italy, etc.) you don’t need to go so deeply to have an insane culinary experience. Sorry 🤷🏻♂️
@calvinfroedge
You’re right, I really didn’t find any local cuisine worthwhile.
I’m in a $200 hotel room, don’t worry I did see the « rich » neighborhood. Funny you think that’s how you get to know the locals.
I made a disclaimer it was my bias and subjective take. I didn’t mean to hurt you.
@Mialygosa
I’m here currently ! I might start some drama again (for a change), but BA is absolutely spectacular. Can’t even be put in the same sentence as other cities that I shall not name 🤣🤣

@Snakecase_
sorry I didn’t write a fiscal and sociopolitical thesis in a 7 tweet thread. clearly your viewpoint is set I don’t even see why you care so much about my 2 cents on my month in Chile.
Santiago has to be one of the most boring cities I visited and trust me, I had my fair share of it. I think we can all agree to not spend over a day there and rather explore the rest of Chile, which is an absolutely amazing experience 🇨🇱❤️
@ccfxstudios
You like poker right. Ever played texas hold’em without real money involved? Nothing is more boring and useless. The game loses its whole point.
@FWPlayboy
women also change mentally. From a 7 to a 3 also means she might be horny right now and completely change in a day. for the first fuck at least, seize the opportunity
I’m in a resort in Baja California. I can’t stop seeing these obnoxious, overweight, loud, American & Canadian women.
Literally yelling and nagging their men nonstop. I already liked my latina girl but now she seems like a freaking angel 😂 She’s also stunned at what she sees
Now about the tattoos, I guess what surprised me was rather how widespread, vulgar and childish they were. Grown ass adults wearing a 6 year old canva on their very skin, ruining their temple. I don't know what's up with the culture there, but they catch your eye immediately.
As soon as I could, I left it to go to Viña del Mar and Patagonia which, granted, were much better and fun to explore. As I mentioned, Patagonia has to be a top3 places I visited for nature, alongside with New Zealand and the Banff region;
@UnofficiallyRod
@bretep
same happened to me, got a lot of eHex when the fork had already happened but was unannounced. I’m surprise more people didn’t talk about that.
@yourfriendSOMMI
Sommi, it’s either 5 cents HEX or multiple dollars. One or the other. It will not suddenly stop at 25 cents. At these numbers the green candles and euphoria will make it go parabolic.
@JakeNomada
I was so confused by this at first. Have a tea date, walk in the park and then go fuck in broad daylight. Western women need to get shitfaced first to cope with their insecurities and guilt.

@chainlink
I like Chainlink, the only problem is opportunity cost
I can't help but think that every dollar I put in it is money I could have used for PLS, PLSX and tshares. I know, diversifying...
@FWPlayboy
biggest redpill is asking a girl to show you her dating apps
a very average looking colleague of mine, at best a 6, she had +700 matches, constantly being hit on, told how gorgeous she looked, etc. by all kind of guys
no wonder she has a distorted perception of herself
@BowTiedPassport
in Quebec we also do it a lot between French speakers
anyone who speaks more than one language knows that you can articulate some ideas better in one specific language
@RichardHeartWin
I don't have any PLS on my account, how can I start doing transactions as I can't pay the fees? Why they can't just take a cut on my PLS when I try to buy PLS with my HEX??
No, that doesn't mean that all gringos intend to fuck your women, in fact most wouldn't be able to without paying. I happen to be a very good looking man with decent Spanish and I don't deny opportunities that present themselves. Having sex abroad isn't sexual tourism. And get

@maison_ailleurs
too early to tell I just arrived but I’m sure it will be great. plenty of people talked extensively about BA and praised it. I usually don’t like giving my advice on other countries but I did on Chile because it was under commented. So might do it with Uruguay for the same reason
