Hi thing. I was sitting out front eating by the entrance. They went in and took a right. That's cool knowing other members are around. It's my first time in the Philippines. We had just come back from Clark air force Base.

They tried to cat call a bunch of chicks and then ran off to steal a cab off the road.
Some of the guys that come to Manila are absolute scumbags. I'm not accusing anyone obviously, but this triggered me because I knew a girl in Manila that was violently raped by a foreigner. An 18 year old virgin who was raped (with injury) by some sick American fuck. I'm 90% sure it happened the way she said it did.
Don't assume that all expats you see around the place are like your fantasy of "cool forum guys".

Any other recommendations for good Filipino movies?

Quite the opposite, most expats here seem to be assholes thinking of this country as their backyard and its people their servants, and they could do whatever as they please.
I only thought they were part of the red pill community because they were giving the chicks /10 ratings and using terms like DHV, SMV and number closing. I was with one of my girls at that moment so I didn't want to be associated with that kind of behavior.
But hey. If asshole game is your game what can I say, as long as you're not harming the chicks.
So, last night this broad was sitting next to me in a bar. Not quite to my standards but had these plump titties popping out like juicy ripe mangos under her blouse. She got up and went to the restroom. Guy on my other side comes back to his stool and asks, "Hey, where'd that cute girl go?"
"She went to take a shit."
After a fit of laughter, dude looks at me and says, "Man, you are seriously disturbed. Get some help."
I've been thinking...he may very well have a point.
I read some time ago a story about Palawan on longform about journalists there. They have a tough life. Philippines is ranked number four in behalf of killings of journalists.

Given the freedom people go for extremes. I think most guys here are white knights. Some seem to be assholes. Probably there is not much in between. In general it麓s the girls turf so they have the home advantage.
I don't understand these up and coming ladyboys prowling the online dating sites. Someone needs to explain to them the basic concept of supply and demand.
I mean it's kind of like trying to sell carboard boxes as housing in a neighborhood where people are giving away 3-bedroom homes.
I haven't read anything about how men's facial hair is received in the Philippines? I understand it's a pro in Japan, but how do the filipinas (and maybe Koreans) in Cebu view it?
I don't see a real consensus about Manila vs Cebu (feel free to correct me) so I am planning on a week in Cebu. I'm looking to stay around the Ayala mall as per the threads. Looking at hotels vs AirBnB, is a pool really going to help me game? I saw it mentioned once. Any other amenity that matters?
I haven't PM'd you guys yet as I'm still firming dates, but if you're in Cebu in March and want to hang with a RVF'r, let me know and drinks are on me. I'll diary my trip as it goes for your enjoyment!

The first time I was here in the Phils in 2012 I had a goatee and girls told me I should shave it. They said they associate beards with lower class people. I fucked A LOT of girls anyway.
This time in the Phils I have a huge red man beard and girls tell me I should shave it. An look at my old facebook pics when I didn't have a beard and say "Oh you are so handsome here." I still fuck A LOT of girls anyway.
I'm also fairly young looking, in great shape, don't dress like Peter Pan and I'm not a complete tool.

Show yourselves.
Yeah - I'm from Las Vegas. I'm gonna be in Makati, Philippines for 3 to 6 months in 2016. I also want to stay in Russia and Columbia in 2016 for a few months.
It would be cool to meet like minded people who are also location independent

I've been taking notes on visa requirements for a few different countries, but ONLY on tourist visas, and from an U.S. citizen's point of view. But since you're looking for a long term visa arrangement, I'm not sure this helps.
Quote:Visa required for stays over 30 days
Single-entry visa allows stays of 59 days. Valid 3 months from date of issue
Multiple-entry visa valid 6-12 months from date of issue, each entry allows 59 days.
To extend, go to Philippines Bureau of Immigration to apply for an extension. Each extension is 59 days or up to 6 months.
Passport must be valid 6 months beyond the departure date from the Philippines at end of stay
Required documents:
Visa application form
Passport
Photocopy of passport information page
Two recent color photos 3.5 x 4.5 against a white background (bring 6-10 photo)
Printed airline bookings (both entry and onway tickets)
Printed bank statements of previous three months for proof of sufficient funds
Cash for visa fee payment
Total stay not more than 36 months for non-visa required nationals (like USA), said period counted from the date of latest recorded arrival.
So, theoretically, you could stay in the Philippines for 3 years on tourist visas if you are a non-visa required national (if not, 2 years max). There are other types of visas, but I haven't looked into those.
How hard do you guys think it would be to get laid in Makati if I was to go approach day game and night game solo on Thursday, Friday, Saturday. 16 approaches per day (8 for day, 8 for night).
White guy, 40, staying at Grammercy.
Told my Filipina g.f. I'm working this weekend.....I was planning to but now I'm thinking about doing some approaches.....
My level is intermediate, I guess. I've been doing game off and on for the past couple of years. I'm burned out on online game, I enjoy the process of doing it live.....

I think when you are 40 y.o you can get a retirement visa pretty easily if you have a certain amount of cash in the bank. And you are allowed to purchase a condo.
So maybe a decent spot to retire early, as the laws seem pretty friendly for foreigners with outside income.
