Well i had fun, but mostly with americans or aussies, the locals seemed far less friendly (we do have a language barrier of course). Im sure our OP could have found plenty of willing aussie girls in Bali if he had tried.
Some of my family are Italian and are very fun people, but the country as a whole has different views with regards to women compared to places like the UK (Scotland where I'm from)

I used to have little interest in visiting Bali but then I found out there was than the the tourist-infested tourist resorts. Too many Australians there.
There was a village in China that was literally a dump - piles of rubbish everywhere, the toilets were literally covered in feces, looked really grim and sad.
Las Vegas outside the strip. Pure ghetto, someone fleeced me out of some money there.
Lubbock, TX. One gigantic suburb. It was just a stop-over, really.
In Australia, Port Augusta and Whyalla, South Australia were pretty horrible.
I've never been to a place I didn't like in some way. The only exceptions were ghettos of some cities, but not the entire cities. But I don't think we're talking about that.
Parts of MS (care not to name and shame these cities/towns) people were very standoffish, didn't seem to like outsiders, everything revolved around guns and religion, bigoted attitudes (hated gay people) and racist towards the African American populace. To top it off the superiority complex which i've never experienced in any other country.
absolutely horrible place, harassed literally every 10 seconds to buy something, no women, overpriced, traffic nightmare and just not a place worth going on holiday to.
any others?
Really, did you just hang out in Kuta?
The countryside is absolutely lovely.
Great snorkeling and diving, good food, homestays and culture.
New York. Crowded, claustrophobic, rude, unfriendly, noisy, polluted, over-priced and over-rated.
You must have visited just Midtown: outside that area NYC is neither overcrowded nor claustrophobic.
Next time you're in NYC have a look at TriBeCa, SoHo, Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Gramercy, as well as Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Dumbo, Kew Gardens, Forest Hills: no skyscrapers and a small-town feel.
Also, polluted?
Have you ever been in Milan or any China city?
Rude and unfriendly?
I strongly disagree.
P.S. I agree about the noise: NYC is a noisy city
