The Ultimate Guide to Dating Austrian Women: Complete Playbook

So, you’re here to crack the Austrian women’s code? Good. This guide isn’t for the faint of heart. We’re diving into the looks, personalities, quirks, and fiery temperaments of Austrian women – so brace yourself for some blunt truths.

The first thing that comes to my mind when someone mentions Austria is Vienna Boys’ Choir, Mozart, or Bagels, but certainly not women. Of course, I’m wrong and I experienced it on my own after a recent visit to Vienna. Let’s dig in!

Looks Guide: Are Austrian Girls Hot or Not?

Close your eyes and imagine a big buffet. That is basically what awaits you in the Austrian streets and bars. Whatever your definition of hot and beautiful is, you can find it here, but you’ll need some game.

Austrian women come in all beautiful shapes and sizes. Short ones, tall ones, blond-haired, dark-haired, freckled redheads, fit, skinny, fat, – you name it and you’ll find it.

The best girls are really good-looking, but the average is relatively low, especially compared to Eastern European girls next door, or even their neighbors, the struly special Hungarian ladies.

There is a great diversity in appearance, for sure. We can thank the genetic influx during the Habsburg years for that. Hungarian, Czech, Romanian, Slovakian, Croatian, Serbian, Italian, and even Turkish blood mixes with Germanic roots in this place.

Even though it’s difficul to find common traits that fit all Austrian women, here is what I observed:

Key Features

• Facial Elegance: Expect well-defined cheekbones, sculpted jawlines, and expressive eyes. Blue and green are particularly common.
• Diverse Hair and Skin Tones: From golden blondes to striking brunettes, you’ll see it all. Their fair skin often adds a porcelain-like quality.
• Slender Physique: Many Austrian women stay active and fit, thanks to a culture of outdoor sports like hiking and skiing, but lately you will see more and more chubbier ones out and about.

The MILF Factor

For those with a taste for older women, Austria has a surprising abundance of attractive, confident cougars who aren’t shy about pursuing what they want.

Pro Tip: If you’re looking for variety, Vienna is the place where tons of international students of diverse ethnicities can be found. Keep your options open.

Personality Guide: What Are Austrian Women Like?

Austrian girls are not particularly friendly. They might even seem a bit boring in the beginning because of their hard-to-get act.

If they reject you, they can be pretty harsh about it. However, there is plenty of fish in the sea, especially in Vienna, so learn how to accept rejection and try some other girl. Don’t be a prick.

Still, you’ll have to learn to see the difference between rejection and their typical humor. Austrian women can be cold and cynical. They often use sarcasm while flirting, so don’t get intimidated.

On the other hand, they are way more open than German or Swiss women, at least in my experience.

They are funny, good-looking, laid-back, and overall charming. Still, Austria is not a place where you can score something with zero games.

This might be possible with Polish girls or, even better, girls in Thailand, but here, you have to be creative and show some effort.

Fortunately, if they do like you, they won’t shy away about getting intimate. They are open about it and are rather approachable in bars or nightclubs.

Apart from these observations I made, here are some of the core traits of Austrian girls:

1. Elegance with a Dash of Sass: They dress to impress and carry themselves with poise. They expect the same, so don’t show up wearing your Adidas tracksuit.
2. Intellectual Curiosity: Conversations might veer into art, philosophy, or politics. Be ready to engage – most of them are smart and not at all superficial.
3. Adventurous Spirits: The Alps aren’t just for postcards; Austrian women genuinely love the outdoors. They’re game for skiing trips, long hikes, or spontaneous road trips.
4. Socially Conscious: Expect discussions on environmental issues or social justice. This isn’t just small talk; they’re deeply invested and you get bonus points if you at least appear to be interested too.

Where to Meet Austrian Women

Just like everywhere in the world, you have all the basic options: from bars and pubs and social gatherings (having Austrian friends speeds up the process a lot) to online dating – everything’s possible here and you have plenty of choices.

By far, for first-time visitors – or even returning ones with no connections – online dating is, in Austria, the easiest and best method to meet girls.

Online Dating in Austria

Skip the crowded Tinder and go old school with a premium dating website like International Cupid.

This site stands out from many others as it is a site aimed at international dating, meaning the girls on this site that you match with are interested in dating foreign men and expect you to speak English.

Austrian girls love to chat, even if you are not in their country yet and they are often the first ones to call you out on a date.

Another bonus of going for the online, premium version, is the lack of competition. Few man nowadays decide to pay – and this puts you at an advantage if you do. Fewer competitors and, as you will see, plenty of fish in the Austrian sea (even though there’s no real one to speak about – but let’s not get into details!)

Of course, you can try some more traditional ways of meeting women, where you should bring your A-game, no matter if we’re talking about day or night hunting.

Nightlife Hotspots

Go for the popular places and you’ll find a ton of single, interested, younger girls looking for at least a hook-up. There is some competition here and not all will speak English (although many do).

Here are my recommended spots for night game:

Vienna

• Donau Techno: Great for alternative vibes and techno enthusiasts, in the city center.
• Loco Bar: Perfect for budget-friendly drinks and tipsy conversations.
• TravelShack: Known for its diverse crowd and wild Erasmus parties.
• Pratersauna: A hip bar near the canal with a romantic, yet somehow edgy atmosphere.

Salzburg and Beyond

• For a quieter vibe, Salzburg’s traditional cafes like Tomaselli offer a relaxed setting.
• In Tyrol, après-ski bars in Innsbruck or Kitzbühel are buzzing with energy and, especially, single ladies.

Daytime Game

• Schwedenplatz/Stephanplatz: Full of approachable women, although you should expect rejections mostly. But if you can handle this, here’s where to test your skills.
• Mariahilferstraße: Austria’s shopping mecca, where casual encounters feel natural. This area is filled with tourists, too, which can be an advantage if you’re not particularly specific about Austrian women.
• Museumsquartier Courtyard: Chill, artsy, and always bustling with groups – but also more difficult to do.

What It’s Like to Date an Austrian Woman

Once you get past the difficult part – having her say yes for at least a first date – here’s what you should expect from them (spoiler alert: you’ll be happy!)

The Positives

• Quick Intimacy: As I mentioned earlier, once they’re into you, things can escalate… quickly. They’re open about their desires and aren’t afraid to express themselves physically.
• No Drama: Austrian women value straightforwardness. Play games, and you’re out.
• Loyalty: They’re fiercely loyal, whether it’s to their families, friends, or partners. So having them cheat on you – slim chances!

The Negatives

• Hard-to-Get Act: Their initial aloofness might feel like scaling a mountain without gear. Stay confident and persistent (although learn to understand when she really means “No”).
• Language Barrier: While many Austrians speak English, learning basic German phrases can score major points.
• Posh Attitudes in Vienna: City girls can come across as a bit too “polished.” If this isn’t your vibe, try smaller towns like Graz or Innsbruck.

How to Date an Austrian Woman

Finally, a few quick tips if you feel you still need them (although reading everything above should be enough).

Do’s

• Dress to Impress: Austrians appreciate a polished look. Iron that shirt.
• Be Punctual: Even a 5-minute delay can be a dealbreaker. Better arrive early than be late.
• Respect Her Boundaries: Personal space matters, especially early on.

Don’ts

• Don’t Discuss Religion or Politics Early: Unless she brings it up, steer clear of touchy topics.
• Avoid Bragging: Confidence is good; arrogance is not.
• Don’t Rush Intimacy: Building trust is key. While most women in Austria have no problem going the extra mile, let her decide when it’s the right time.

Cultural Tip: Offer to pay for the first date, but don’t be surprised if she offers to split the bill. It’s a sign of her independence and you should accept it.

Final Thoughts

There are easier places in the world to find women for a quick date or two, but Austria has rewards that are worth the effort. These ladies can be really great finds – especially wife material, if you’re ready to put in the work.

If you ask me, the perfect word to describe Austrian women would be well-groomed. You have to admit, that is an admirable quality.

As far as online dating goes, if you’re looking for a girl that’s seriously interested in dating a foreign man, try International Cupid.

So pack your bags, brush up on your German, and get ready to charm your way through this alpine wonderland. Who knows? Your Austrian adventure might just end with the love of your life… or at least a fantastic story to tell.

Good luck, and may the Alps be ever in your favor!
