The honest truth about cold approach in Warsaw (compared to London)

I was first invited to Warsaw to teach daygame in 2022 and was straight away shocked by the attractiveness of the local women here, and also by how modern and clean the city was.

After dating in London since 2019 and starting cold approach there in 2020, I decided to make a move and get a flat here. Fortune favours the brave and all that.

Fast forward to 2026, and I guess I am as qualified as any English-speaking guy in his mid-thirties to talk about cold approach in Warsaw. I have also coached plenty of men in their 40s and 50s here as well.

So here are three things that make Warsaw different from London.

1. Cold approach is easier in Warsaw, but dating is harder

The version of me who first arrived in Warsaw in 2022 could get dates with local women, but struggled to get much further than that.

I got laid on my second day here, but after that, despite going out alone and doing multiple approaches every day, I entered a shag famine that lasted nearly three months. Let me tell you that was challenging, both for my pride (I was a dating coach after all) and my composure to stay on the path while dealing with delayed gratification.

Eventually I turned things around, but only after changing how I dressed, how I led, and how patient I was.

Unlike London, where you can often sleep with a girl on the first date, it is typical that it will take three to four dates to sleep with a girl here. I have had it take as many as eight dates before.

In Eastern Europe, if you do not have endurance for extended dating sequences, some women will remain out of reach.

The paradox is that since learning patience, I have slept with quite a few girls here on the first date. You need both fast-closing ability and endurance to succeed here.

2.  Women in Warsaw expect you to lead

In London, girls will often offer to buy you a round and will often want the date to move forward in a physical way on the first encounter.

Warsaw, by contrast, is more traditional and religious in culture. As a result, women expect the man to lead every second of the interaction, from approach to date. On top of that, it is generally expected that you will foot the bill in the early stages.

A lot of women here are sincerely looking for a husband when they date, versus the more casual dating culture in London.

When you invite her home in Warsaw, you will need your balls. Any sheepishness will be penalised.

The plus side is that women here are noticeably more feminine by default and generally hotter than in London.

You will work harder to get them, but it is worth it.

3. Dating here is competitive, but achievable

There are more attractive Caucasian women per square foot here than in any city I have visited in my life, so it makes sense that it is competitive.

If you come here with an early 2010s spam approach style, front stopping everyone without the charisma to back it up, then you might struggle.

There are a lot of guys who practise cold approach here, especially in summer. However, just like London on Oxford Street, the mass-market daygamers tend to stick to the main streets. If you can move into the smaller, less well-known streets, it is very easy to avoid that.

To round it up, on paper my results in Warsaw have far exceeded anything I ever managed in London.

That is in part because I have levelled up in multiple areas: social skills, presentation, physical fitness, and overall comfort around attractive women.

Coming here, your ego will get checked, and that is a good thing. Survive it and you will be better than you ever were before.
