What I mean is the undeniable fact that many Western European cities are anything but the best cities for single men to live in. Many fail to provide for the interests of the single man. This washed-out saying turns into bright reality once you start traveling. The more East you go the more you will realize that your own cultural background is not the one norm with all others to be measured against it.
It is, after all, just one out of many others and maybe not even a good one at that. As a single Western man you are free to travel and emigrate to pastures that actually are greener. It is my personal belief that any man who went through the emasculating process of growing up in Mid-West USA, Scandinavia, Germany and the likes should — or maybe even has the obligation to travel where Western values are upside down.
This introduction brings you three of the best cities for single men that will not make you feel like you are rolling a rock up the hill every day of your life. All cities come with advantages that, in any case, prove them to be the better alternative to the city you are currently stuck in.
I am discussing the advantages — as well as the obvious disadvantages — in the categories of:. As a former communist state Hungary had its own version of the concept, namely Goulash Communism, meaning things were by no means as rigid as they were in Russia. Thus, Hungary was able to save most of its Austrian-Hungarian heritage with its classical architecture and Vienna-like coffee house culture. The unique blend of Eastern Bloc heritage and Western European heritage makes Budapest an attraction in itself as the city combines the best of both worlds: A high quality of living and a weak amount of Western nonsense go along with a degree of openness and friendliness in people that you will not find in the bordering slavic states.
On top of that, Budapest even has its very own low-cost airline. Rent an apartment in Budapest and you might be blessed with one of the picturesque inner courtyards that has nothing in common with Soviet-style housing blocks, but will look liek the one to the left.
