Male mortality rate explained
From the Economist:
"Yet it is Russia’s self-destructive streak that has turned testing weather into a tragedy. In the past two months over 2,000 people have drowned trying to escape the heat by dunking themselves in lakes and rivers. (For comparison, 13,000 Soviet soldiers died during the ten-year Afghan campaign.) Fully 90% of them were drunken men, say officials."
... so 1800 Russian males have won the Darwin award and removed themselves from the gene pool and from competition for the delightful dyevs who were not drunken and did not drown. And think of the number of drunken men who must have gone into the river yet were not quite so unlucky as to drown!
Whenever we wonder why there are so many gorgeous, sexy, smart Russian women available and interested in Westerners like us, we just have to remember the drunks, losers and gopniks that they have to choose from at home.

Hot Dog AKA Boar House AKA Chesterfields SUCKS
As many of you faithful ISG readers know, I have been a somewhat steady supporter of one of the two hooker bars in Moscow, namely Hot Dog (aka Boar House aka Chesterfields).
Well, those days are over.
I've been withholding judgment for the past few visits, but it's become evident that the current management is complete shit. And not just any shit, but the runny slimy stuff that comes after you've had too much to drink and not nearly enough fibre. The girls inside are all washed-up 30-something hags with no new blood whatsoever. In chatting with the girls it seems that the current "door tax" is now 100 US dollars, which means that price is being passed directly to you and me. Therefore, the quality of girls there is just ridiculously low compared to what you could get on the internet or even, hell, NightFlight! For the same price, you could hit a tochka or even a high-priced brothel (eg charmel.biz or fantasys.nu) and get a much better return on your investment.
Fuck these guys. I will never be back for as long as I should live in Moscow.
And so it ends, not with a whimper but a bang.
P.
What exactly was the straw that finally broke the camel's back?
There is no joy in Mudville...
[QUOTE=Lukasek]Now with Hot Dog shitty, NF with crazy prices, no one decent pick up bar in all Moscow, right or am I missing something guys ?[/QUOTE]Luka,
The answer is, it depends...
If you are a tourist, in Moscow for a week on business, don't speak any Russian, can't find your way around and don't understand Russian culture, there really isn't much opportunity for sex, paid or otherwise. The heady days of the end of the Soviet Union are long gone. The dyeffki are not going to follow you home any more with nothing more than a promise of a new pair of Adidas, or Levi's.
On the other hand, if you speak a little Russian (enough to have a basic conversation) can make your way around the city and understand something of Russian culture, then Moscow remains a galaxy of sexual possibilities, paid and otherwise.
