>be me>go to washington DC for a weekend>decide to stay in a hostel because /trv/ told me I could fuck girls and meet interesting people>the common areas just had zoomers on their phones not talking>night 1: sleeping in a dorm with 4 smelly edgyptians>night 2: sleeping in a dorm with a frenchman (also smelly) who snored unbelievably loudAm I missing something here or are you all just a bunch of poorfags who use "le hostel to le meet people" as an excuse for your poorfaggotry?
>>2832634>decide to stay in a hostel because /trv/ told me I could fuck girls and meet interesting peopleThe chances of this are about as good as whatever game you have at bars picking up one nighters. Hostels can be slightly easier depending but 9 times out of 10 those "hostel fucks SOOO HOT!11" are 5/10 looking wormen at best with daddy issues drunk as shit.You might up your chances with a private room but that's about it.>"le hostel to le meet people" as an excuse for your poorfaggotry?You need to realize 90% of this board is severely introverted, we are talking to the point of "I had a crazy night out with the lads!" when all that happened was someone next to them decided to talk with them at the bar. Most people here "travel" to a place, spend +80% of the day in their accommodations, and go do one or two things during lunch and supper(maybe getting a 'massage') as their going out and seeing the world.
please stop visiting dc its a shitty nigger filled hellholet. lifelong resident
>>2832639Serious question: what's your opinion on the National Guard deployment?
it's just poorfag shitalways get a hotel
>>2832634Hostels changed heavily after COVID, the vibe is still mostly there but a lot of the nonchalant atmosphere is gone.Hostels now are>Those group of digital nomads trying desperately to not let their boss know they are in a hostel commons room/area while abroad because they think min/maxing through hostel prices is BASED>Those Ukraine/Russian people who do nothing but sit around and drink while playing videogames 24/7>Non-Americans who MUST bring up Trump even if you don't want to talk about it>Clearly on daddy's dime girls who think any hostel = party time BAAAABY!! only to realize 80% are there to shit, shower, and shave followed up by crashing out after a drunken night out.>Changs who flood in and sit in the same spot for 23hrs 50 minutes only needing to go through their insanely loud plastic bags at 5:15 am>Old people who clearly lost their investments during COVID by pulling out too early and still want to see the world by any means necessary Honestly, if you are looking at the value of hostels simply being in a good locations, place to shit/shower/shave, and potentially a option during crunch seasons like xmas and such. Rethink your travel and rebudget.
>>2832634first, hostels are for under-30s, not xillennials are whatever variety of oldfag you are second, hostels in north America suck because no one respectable travels to visit cities in north america for fun, going to a hostel in DC is absolutely retarded. third, hostels are always hit and miss + vary dramatically. 50% chance of getting hot women who need to "find themselves", 50% of snorers and subpar experience. finally, hostels are a White thing to do. if you are brown or a nigger please don't you ruin the experience for everyone involved.
>>2832659>Non-Americans who MUST bring up Trump even if you don't want to talk about itthese people are everywhere lol
>>2832634I had a similar experience in Berlin.There were tons of normies hanging in the commons and outside, it was impossible to talk to any of them because they were already in their own groups. Also I'm just too ugly to pick up chicks. I was at the bar and asked for a drink, and the bartender completely ignored me. There were 2 girls sitting there who just looked at me awkwardly. It was humiliating. Only positive was I did end up making one friend, another incel, and we hung out in the city once, but no chicks. Bottom line, don't go to hostels if you're ugly. They're for beautiful people and normies only
>>2832667At least in public spaces I can walk the fuck away from them or make some excuse about not wanting to deal with it.
>>2832634>Hostels>USCome on now.
>>2832634>What is this board's obsession with hostelsThis board is actually pretty anti-hostel compared to reddit or other young traveler places>>2832662>50% chance of getting hot women who need to "find themselves",I've only been to hostels a few times, but that described the girls working there as a long-term travel arrangement as much as the girls passing through for a night
>just a bunch of poorfags who use "le hostel to le meet people" as an excuse for your poorfaggotryDING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING No normal person would stay in such a shithole, it is only for the poor and low value male
>>2832642i haven't been downtown in a while I think it's god's sign for me to travel full time ive been doing like 8-10 day trips and then just collapsing in bed in between from exhaustion for a week then the next week is planning the next trip >what's your opinion on the National Guard deployment?i bike past the white house and capitol sometimes and I often thought hmm there doesn't seem to be a lot of police protection here and someone else had that thought too so I feel like I memed it into reality, also it won't get better till you get rid of blacks, you can't just add police you need to subtract the criminals
people who don't like hostels are either too old to feel like they fit in there, or are young enough but are too socially awkwardall you need to do to fit in in a hostel is go to the bar and get a drinkthere will be other people there and you can talk to them, most of the time you'll end up playing a drinking game or going out to other bars together, and sometimes you'll sleep with someoneit's not a puzzle
>>2832634Most hostels I've stayed at have been lifeless boring places where people don't talk to their fellow guests 99% of the time. >a bunch of poorfagsHostel guests being too poor to afford beer used to be unthinkable. Now nobody wants to drink because it's unhealthy, bro. So everyone lives their own private lives and nobody talks to each other.
>>2832907>nobody talks to each otherwow just like dc, world's unfriendliest city
