While I am not looking to get married just yet, I am curious about where the best place in Europe would be to get this when I do consider settling down eventually.
While I am still likely going to China to teach in the near future, in all honestly I would like to find a way to geomax to northeastern Europe as I specifically prefer very light to platinum blonde haired girls and would like to live in a place where I can more easily assimilate relatively in, as if we're being honest you can never really do so in East Asia outside of maybe Hong Kong or Singapore.

My kryptonite is this phenotype specifically which I'd call the angel or elf type like so:

From my research Russia and the Baltics are the best places for this since Scandinavia is off the table for obvious reasons. Via Chatgpt and Grok, specifically north eastern Russian and Moscow seem to be the best areas to look for that exact type of girl in that country which makes sense via the proximity to Scandinavia, with the locals being historically mixed with Finnic and Baltic tribes as well as Norse settlers during the Kievan Rus era.

Russia:

Regarding income, there are some international teaching jobs in Moscow and St Petersburg and I may be able to get a position in those places with 0 to little prior experience just because some schools are very desperate given the geopolitical tensions and therefore lack of western teacher applicants. However, there are a lot of caveats with going there at least until the war ends as an American citizen.
One in particular would be the difficulty in transferring money out of the country. However I do have dual citizenship with another western country so I could apply for a visa that way to reduce the risk of living there.

I'm considering doing this after getting a couple years of experience in China just to ensure that I like teaching and am fully committed by then, plus maybe the conflict will be over by then.

I've seen salaries at the 2nd tier schools that seem to average close to 3k post tax usd equivalent in Moscow and Petersburg and schools usually cover rent and utilities but I'm not sure if that would be enough to save a decent amount with how expensive Moscow can be. I'm thinking St Petersburg could be better as there would be more girls with the phenotype that I like but I remember reading that there were more feminist and hipster types there, although still a minority. Maybe it's gotten worse since the 2010s in that regard.
I also know 0 Russian so would have to work on learning that along with Chinese which is not that conducive. I might be able to also luck out and get a position at the better schools and get more money but that often comes with an increased workload.

Another thing with Russian girls from what I understand is that a some are of the more gold diggerish type in the bigger cities and prefer a macho guy who needs to lead them 100% of the time. I have read many reports of how they can be quite manipulative and cold and you have to have very strong frame with them which is not something I'd like to deal with as I want a girl who is submissive and intelligent and is not an ice queen trying to play crazy mind games and test me most of the time(most women do test you occasionally but this is another level). Can i find girls like this in these cities?

I could also try looking in places like Tver, Pskov, Veliky Novgorod, Petrozavodsk and Murmansk while teaching in either of the biggest cities when I have time off during the summer. Problem is these places have 200-400k people so they are a bit on the smaller side and probably have less attractive women since more of them would have moved to the bigger cities.

Baltics and Belarus:

I did briefly pass through the Baltics when I was younger and do remember seeing some girls that looked like this in Latvia and Estonia and to a lesser extent Lithuania and much lesser so, Poland. Problem is those countries are supposedly more westernized but they'd be easier to live in outside of salary concerns of which subject teaching jobs pay poorly outside of the top schools for the most part which i may be able to get jobs at with some more experience. So would finding a wife material girl be more difficult in these places?

I'd try Belarus as well but not sure about teaching jobs there. Llms have also told me there are less platinum blondes there, anyone been there to confirm?

Me:

My stats by the time I would go if i delay this for a few years would likely be early 30s, 5'11, HTN+ to Chadlite since by then I'll be in shape. Im also Mediterranean looking. While I act NT for the most part, I may still slip up here and there but the cultural barrier would probably smooth that over if its still otherwise a slight issue.

Are you American? You can get a 3 year tourist or business visa for Russia that allows you to stay in the country 6 months at a time.

Then there's also the Shared values Visa. Gives you 3 months to enter Russia and apply for temporary (3 year) residency, which can take up to 6 months to be approved. You gotta get an FBI background check in USA and have that Apostilled in America, then submit it to the immigration authorities when applying for your residency in Russia. You should also get your birth certificate apostilled. There are no language, history or law requirements for applying for this visa or temporary residency. No quotas either (limit on how many applications can be approved). Once you have your temporary residency you can live and work anywhere in the region you applied at for the next three years. You also have instant free healthcare. After about 8 months or a year you can then apply for permanent residency if you're able to pass a Russian language, law and history test. Permanent residency is good for 5 years and will allow you to live and work anywhere in Russia. It will also allow you to enter and exit the country without a visa.

The only bad thing about this visa is that you have to apply in person. A short trip to the consulate in Houston, NYC, Seattle, or maybe Washington DC. Houston definitely will work though. You have to apply in person and you might need to wait six months renting an apartment in Russia without being able to work. $4 - 6k USD should be more than enough if you're experienced with traveling and living on your own.

Anyways, an American passport is actually one of the best you can have for living in Russia.
 
Eurocel here.

5'11 is average to slightly-below-average height in the Baltics. this area isn't popular for geomaxxing because the local dudes are some of the biggest whitemoggers in the world.

as for Russia: it's a big and diverse country. Moscow in particular is a hub that gathered people from all corners of the Russian Empire / Soviet Union. so it's not as pale blonde as you might think. the same goes for Petersburg to a smaller extent. also in minor Russian cities (anywhere except Moscow and Petersburg) the language barrier is pretty bad. not the worst in the world though.

Eastern and Northern European women are very culturally independent. they can act submissive, but only for men with higher SMVs than themselves.

I'd try Belarus as well but not sure about teaching jobs there. Llms have also told me there are less platinum blondes there, anyone been there to confirm?
if you want to know how people in a given country actually look, I suggest those PoV walking videos, like this one in Riga.
natural platinum blondes are not common anywhere. I emphasise "natural" because dyemaxxing is common. in fact platinum hairdye is now trendy among zoomer girls in Russia.

so yes - if you're looking for the easiEST places to get pale blonde women, then the Eastern Baltic is probably the easiest. but it's not easy by any means. as a 5'11 dude with a teacher's salary (not very high) and no fluency in local languages, I wouldn't get my hopes up for submissive elvish stacies. I suggest you visit this area for like a 2 week vacation just to gauge what kind of response you get from women.

Russia definitely seems like it would be the best option overall then just due to its sheer population and having multiple cities as well even with the ratio of girls of that type being less there.

The salaries for private school subject teachers actually seem to be higher than I previously thought. After digging some more it appears Moscow schools pay closer to 4k usd post tax per month and Petersburg 3.5k per month which is better and changes the calculus a bit again with rent covered by a school. I'd imagine I might be able to ask for more as a CS/Math hs teacher since those subjects are probably difficult to fill and having a masters degree should also help.

I've actually watched that video before of Riga lol and also look at street yt videos in general,
definitely agree they're one of the best sources of what the locals actually look like but its also informative to know the opinions and observations of guys that have been to places. Latvia does seem to have slightly more percentage wise of this type than Estonia based on these, and not all of them seem to be fake unless they're dying their eyebrows as well.

I probably will take a trip to that region during one of the summers I get off in China and will try to visit Moscow and Petersburg as well.

Also a valid point about Moscow, I mentioned it since it would probably be slightly easier to get a job and live there with limited Russian as it also has more people than Petersburg. The latter still has over 6 million people and based on some street YouTube videos I still see some platinum blondes there, fake or not. Honestly, I could always just go for a girl with slightly darker blonde hair and have her dye it or go for one that already has if all else fails.

If I do go eventually go to Russia though I'll make an effort to learn the language and take some trips to the cities in the areas closest to Finland and Estonia. Petersburg would prob be where I'd try to end up although I'd have to try to get my psoriasis under control in the winters. According to gpt the avg guy in the 20s is half an inch less than my height so perhaps I'd have a better shot dating girls in the 7-8 range of this type than in the Baltics.

Would 3.5k usd a month after rent be enough per month to live comfortably and date there?

Yeah I'm American, I believe schools in Russia help you get and pay for a work visa but good to know about the other visa options. Might take advantage of those when I want to visit or if I want to pursue other types of work there in the future.

It's true. Mogging in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine is way easier than in Baltics. Baltics have wealthier, taller and more attractive men with more liberal women. But in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus women put higher value on your wealth.

confirmed. it's over for normies in the baltics:

Lithuania is basically a European mogger tribe. That's why the women didn't give a shit about me. They would smile at an aggressively barking dog, but when looking at me they would make sure to not smile and look elsewhere quickly - better don't encourage that lowly guy to approach or something.
this is normal experience in Lithuania. I can easily slay in any part of the world, but not north europe. You can try creating chad profile on tinder and will still get shitty results in these countries. Women here are beyond delusional, I know many good looking guys here and they all struggling. It's over here. Women here chasing a guy that doesn't even exist in real world.

If anything I'd imagine the opposite. Russians are pretty well educated in STEM subjects. meanwhile a native English speaker from the US, with teaching experience, living in Russia full time, is very rare.

Agreed. But it seems a lot of blackpillers gets caught up on not “betabuxxing” even though they don’t got the looks to mog into the results they want in EE. Lolz

Well, qualified teachers(not tefl) that have a license and education degree like I will, seem to still be in demand regardless as there still apparently are enough rich parents in Russia that want their kids to get an education taught in English at a private school and will still pay good money for it.
Just to give you guys an idea of some of the jobs and salaries available taken from tes website https://www.tes.com/ for Moscow:

There is definitely desperation with some of them wanting to hire for THIS september and some willing to wait until Janruary which isnt common at all this late in the game in the international teaching sphere as schools mostly hire around November to January/February for the next school year like in China and elsewhere for the most part unless the schools are clusterfucks and have high turn over rates. So again I think I would have negotiating power if things stay this way.

By the looks of things, at least in the bigger cities Russia seems to be the actual underrated teaching destination not China.

Anyways looking at the avg costs of things via numbeo https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Saint-Petersburg?displayCurrency=USD, things look pretty good in SP and the avg salary for locals is around 1k usd which means if i were to hypothetically go now I'd likely have 3x the local salary in disposable income AFTER rent.
Of course the ruble fluctuates a decent amount and who knows what things will be like in a couple years if I go after a 2 year stint in the middle kingdom.

What I'd be more curious about is how the work enviornments are in some of these schools but its hard to get solid info on this via places like https://www.reddit.com/r/Internationalteachers/ since most teachers are scared of the idea of ever working there which is why the salaries are that high in the first place.

I also ran some numbers with chatgpt and asked how much I would likely save based on the ranges for st petersburg living a Us equivalent middle to upper middle class lifestyle and I could always trim some expenses to save more If i wanted to:

Personally i wouldnt mind betabuxxing lite per say as long as that is only part of the equation, of course I need to accumulate wealth in the first place. If i do make this move if its still viable, im okay with dating 7s in the mean time.
 
@Yuezhi kudos for sharing the research. $3800 a month after tax, with free accommodation, is a really amazing deal for Moscow. crossing my fingers you're able to get if after your China adventure.

BTW I got curious about this "British International School", so I looked it up, and fucking caged at the administrator's name
