If a woman buys you a drink and you end up sleeping with her you're all of the sudden a male prostitute? It's a dumb thought because it arbitrarily assumes the only necessary qualification for sex was the money spent.

Having to put in some resources and effort into the seduction dance is just part of the chase and the added challenge makes the end result orders of magnitude more enjoyable than prostitution for both parties involved. If you can be super funny or artistic you won't have to resort as much to showing wealth as your attraction strategy. Altruism, generosity and the implicit resource abundance are innately attractive, so vilifying a woman for qualifying those attributes to some degree is as stupid as vilifying a man for qualifying on slimness.

If a woman buys you a drink which hardly will happen, she is showing honest high interest and actual generosity. If you spend money on a woman you are just being stupid, you are expected to do that, there is no generosity or altruism. Even in regions where you are NOT expected to do that women will use several strategies to make you spend money on them like saying they need to go to the bathroom when the bill arrives. This is prostitution, a prostitute expects you to spend money on her in order to have sex. Most women will take all your money if they have the chance, don't be naive.

There are circumstances when it is ok, not nuances. But i don't want to extend this post.

if a girl pays for your anything, coffee dinner etc... she is either very rich or respects you very much... or both... but majority of females need help financially or entitled... i ve seen this in dating and business ventures... anywhere in the world it's like this... i presume based on my experiences... it s part of the game and you cannot avoid it so just roll with it i guess...whether it s ltr or ons don t leave the house without your wallet padded... don t be cheap...

What if it were filipinas who were difficult, ice princesses and were extremely hard to lay, but the Ukrainians were 20x easier? Would guys put filipinas on a pedestal (because there are many cute and even hot filipinas)? Or would guys just not bother with the Philippines at all as a result?

I do not put Ukraine girls on a pedestal, but on the Filipina side for the most part they are hypergamous cunts who are extremely entitled and probably just as bad as Australian girls. The only difference is in the Philippines being white can take a guy from a 6/10 to a 10/10. Look at how these Filipinas treat the local guys and not some white guy they are banging because she thinks he has way higher status than her. It's the equivilent of a hot western girl treating regular guys like shit but if a 10/10 male model or celebrity were to come into her crosshairs she's going to treat him like royalty.

From the shit I hear about Ukraine, I would almost think it's 100% nearly of women who want to sell themselves for money. All ice cold. No sweet, normal girls left. The few filipinas I have known have been pretty, warm and pleasant, and were not looking for money for sex.

I don't agree. My way: I am the one who has 100000% more value than any of these "ice queens" as you call them. By having tons of options, you simply naturally don't come across needy. A girl plays hard to get? fine, I don't speak to her for a few days. Funnily enough (especially when I have been out with her once or twice, for example, and I let her taste my higher value, lifestyle and overall great fucking catch that I am..) they almost always contact me back.
Brightest example just happened yesterday. One of my plates (body of 9, face 6.5 ish 7 in most countries) started playing hard to get... fine I'll get busy with my other plate, ignore her all weekend (spent with the other girl) and yesterday I get... "are you not speaking to me anymore?" message . Then I start to explain to her that however I enjoy her company (which I do) we are not exclusive (because I know she talks to other men) so I told her I am coming this weekend, but I can only see her saturday during the day because evening and sunday I'll be with my "friend". She got pissed off... but guess what? She agreed

I think we value what we perceive as rare. Filipinas are readily available, so we put them down. If there was only one island in the world with a small population of filipinas, we would consider that rare physical type to be incredibly desirable to have as a notch on the bedpost.

There are tons of Filipino guys that are serious players. 2-3 families. Girls stashed everywhere. They are dogs, and I say that with utmost respect.

Every Filipina that says they don't like Filipino men have had their heart's broken by one. Or more.

Are you guys seriously comparing a third world country like Philippines with Ukraine ? I thought guys on this forum were supposed to be red pill not white knights. The average IQ in Philippines is about 10 points lower, that's a huge difference. There will be many generations until the Philippines will catch up with even the poorest European countries.

A buddy of mine recently went to Thailand with his girlfriend. As he got to the hotel he had the bright idea to brush his teeth with tap water. 2 days of agonizing pain followed where he had to survive shit storms coming out of his ass every 5 minutes. That's in one of the better SE Asians countries. Besides catching some exotic belly bug that can affect your health long term, even years later, you're also at risk of Dengue fever which can be fatal after the third bite or so. But hey, they're building a lot of sky scrapers, they solved all problems except basic necessities like clean tap water. In Ukraine you're much more likely to step into dog shit than find a child beggar and the only people who piss in the streets are drunk dudes at 3am in the morning. People are poor yes but I wouldn't call Ukraine a third world country. It's corrupt and sometimes dirty but people are not starving. The tap water is safe to drink, never had any problems in EE.
Complaining that it's cold in Ukraine will not be very popular with the ladies that's for sure. Buy a fucking coat and if you think Ukraine is cold try Scandinavia or Canada. In my experience it's much more agonizing to sleep on a humid summer night than on any cold winter night. You can wrap yourself in a blanket if you don't have proper heating but you can't do much about the heat if you don't have air conditioning.

This is what I mean. Compared to in the Phils, it's "hard" to get a pretty Ukrainian or Russian who is LTR worthy, so we value what is difficult to achieve, what is scarce. If things were reversed, then I wonder how these "strange" "exotic" creatures would be compared to EE girls then.

No pun intended, holy shit! I thought brushing teeth with tap water would be OK, because you're not really drinking it. I wonder if even bottled water from stores harbor diseases, whether it's better to get the water from bottled water or from those big purification machines that charge like a few pesos per refill.

I drank tap water in the Philippines on and off for 6 months in Davao, Pasay, and Makati, and it was clear, delicious, and cool too. I never had any issues with the water. Some of the street-side restaurants that were basically people's houses converted into restaurants served water from the tap. One of the places I went to would serve the water in a metal glass that had been chilled, it was great.

I did get the runs one time, though. I went to one of those restaurants where you cook your own meals and I must not have cooked some of the meat or fish enough on that hot plate. That's on me, though.

To be fair, I grew up partially in Mexico, so my immune system has been exposed to more stuff than folks that grew up only in the Anglosphere. In Mexico the tap water is grey and it isn't drinkable, at least in the Northeastern region.

I was actually surprised that the tap water in the Philippines was drinkable, considering Mexico's a much richer country and their tap water isn't drinkable (Northeastern region). But then again, it rains half the year in the Philippines, so they have a pretty good supply of fresh water.

Haven't been to Thailand.

Agreed in part, but some people starve in Ukraine, the retirement pension is 40$ and many people including young people eat a boiled potato with some butter for dinner....

As for the tap water in Ukraine, thats untrue, it sucks, drink it and you wil also be like your friend in Thailand, as I did after banging a slut in Kharkov, her fridge was totally empty, perhaps just a jar of conserved cuccumbers in there (though her dress must have costed 200$), and I was so thirsty that I went for the tap water...big mistake, should have boiled it first.

Man, we need more people like you to spread the word. You are doing God's work warning guys, especially lurkers, about all these South East Asia shitholes.

I mean, fucking Bangkok is already the most visited city in the world. You can't fucking go anywhere decent without running into other tourists. Clubs, streets, restaurants, shopping malls, fucking everywhere! Too many fucking guys on Tinder, too. Never mind Bangkok, even in Manila and Jakarta there are too many foreign dudes, and those cities are such shitholes that they make Bangkok look like Singapore in comparison. Any decent beaches and party islands in SEA? Forget it, all fucking sausage fests. And all those"digital nomads" roaming around Asia? Don't even get me started on that.

You are 100% right spreading the word about tap water and dengue fever, but let's take it one step further my friend. Traffic accidents and deaths in SEA. Let's start posting pictures and videos of the worst accidents, like some guy crashing into a post on a motorbike and literally losing his brain. That'll make a lot of motherfuckers change their travel plans and head to Ukraine or Poland instead.

Haven't been to Thailand.

A lot of places in the Philippines that serve what looks like tap water actually have a filter on the tap or on all the water flowing to the kitchen. I'd be careful on assuming that you can stomach the tap water because you had some in a restaurant. It is likely still filtered and if you go back to your apartment and drink it straight from the tap again, you may be in for a nasty surprise. I've drunk small amounts on occasion when I ran out of filtered water and haven't had any bad side effects but I'm not going to make a habit out of it.

I like this idea.

Let's send the West's aspie hordes to Ukraine instead of the Philippines, the burden needs to be shared, the Philippines has been pulling a double shift for a while now and needs a break.

Plus, the Philippines isn't safe, you know with the violence and all.

The Ukraine is much safer, stay safe out there guys, go to the Ukraine, they have clean water and model-like women everywhere. You might not be sure the beauty's there when you're looking at 5 layers of clothing and makeup, but trust us, it's under there.

Post: #115

Because people in Ukraine are Eskimos, they live in igloos and cannot be found in coffee shops, bars, restaurants, clubs, malls etc. The whole country is like Chernobyl. There are no seasons, it's a permanent nuclear winter.

If you're looking for a wife find a place where it's warm and sunny. Maybe closer to home, I'm sure California is amazing for that. We all know that women get their beauty naturally from the sun. It's much better than cosmetics because it doesn't age you and your skin will love it.

Many people who start out in SA then SEA go to EE for a reason. EE is the end game and its also an area of the world where you don't have to deal with downy behavior constantly. For the saner of us the "coldness" of not smiling all the time is preferable to the fakeness of always smiling and the inferno tropic climate, man I think I rather live in Alaska than deal with that.

Neat IQ chart, if you found that all by yourself, good job.

You're so smart to be able to do that.

By yourself and all.

You should reach out to ElDiabloBlanco, you guys could lube each other up and circle jerk together all day (intellectually speaking).

He could whisper sweet IQ scores into your ear while mounting you with his high IQ dick.

You guys would have a great time together.

Filipinas unsurprisingly present the lowest IQ of all SEA. The good news about going to the Philippines is, once you are there, you can be at peace. You then know you've reached a certain bottom in your life.

Something I resent over anything is they always make it a pain in the ass to bang. They consistently give me their 20 min LMR trying to make me believe they "never do that usually". They are annoying from texting to fucking. This is in contrast with the Thais and Indonesians who give Zero LMR and love zero date bangs. Filipinas prefer simple men. They like the sturdy, brave man type. I did have good lays there too but it was more the exception than the rule.

Are people really bringing up IQ in a thread about banging hoes on a trip?



Who cares.

OP go wherever you like the chicks more. If you have yellow fever and want almost guaranteed bang hit the Philippines. If you like EE white chicks, Ukraine it is.

The "certain bottom in your life" way is one way to look at the Philippines, for sure, but another way is to look at the Philippines as one of the greatest challenges. Think about it, with Vietnam and Thailand's low cost of living, I could be there right now and just chill forever, maybe teach English and make pretty good money on top of my business income. I could also do web development with no problem online due to the wifi being pretty decent, same with Thailand. It'd be easy street, and trust me, I've been tempted.

Now the Philippines, on the other hand, is a challenge. The wifi blows except in select locations, and even if you can get an ok speed, you still have to deal with power outages cutting off the connection intermittently, especially when it rains, and it rains a lot. You could get a membership to a coworking area, but if it's not open 24/7, you're then limiting your working hours to a SEA schedule, which limits you some more, and the coworking spaces are not exempt from power outages. So working online in the Philippines is a dicey proposition.

So if you're working online in the West and think you can just pack up and move to the Philippines, you better be prepared for your boss to get on your case during the first typhoon or heavy rain and subsequent longer term power/internet outages, but even light rains cause power/internet outages there all the damn time, the grid just isn't dependable. And that's in the big cities, in the smaller cities, forget about it. After several days or weeks of being unable to maintain a solid wifi connection with your boss/online team, there's going to be difficulties, you can easily lose your job.

For the most part, the only guys that can live in the Philippines are guys that have figured out location independence via a business, an inheritance, or a pension. The pension is the easiest, so that's what you see the most of there. Guys that are able to pull off living in the Philippines long term without being on a pension are rare.

In Vietnam and Thailand, not so much, all you need to do is be able to speak English and land a teaching job. That's why you get so many more young guys over there, there's just so many more job opportunities for foreigners, and of course, more opportunities to network, especially in Thailand.

So you're right, for a certain subset of the Philippines crew, the pension guys, it is a place to just chill and live out their days, but for the young guys, they're a different breed, anyone that's able to pull off being young and living in the Philippines is a rare guy. The older fellows on pensions, not so much, but still, I enjoy seeing their stories, they blazed the trail, after all.

But even if you look at the SEA region as a whole, there's major drawbacks, for example the pollution is a big one. A buddy of mine planned his trip to Thailand for a long time, he was planning on staying there until his funds ran out, at least 6 to 9 months, but when he got there, he only stayed a few weeks. He had to come back because he was having trouble breathing. And apparently it's worse in Vietnam, plus in Vietnam you have issues with the safety of the food supply, if any of you have been keeping up with that, it's disgusting to see vendors serve meat that's been dragged on the floor or covered in flies.

The Philippines is no angel when it comes to that either, I saw lots of babies with small wet towels on their backs over there in some of the cities I went to, the moms would use the little towels to cover the babies' faces in an effort to limit the damage from the petrol fumes. In one of the cities, Iloilo City, I was only there a week because after the first day, I locked myself in my hotel room and didn't come out unless I had to, for food and to buy an airplane ticket, the petrol smog was so bad I just didn't want to leave my hotel room. That city didn't have traffic lights, so it was constant stop/go traffic, which made the air unbreathable. You might be reading this and think, "Wait, did you just say no traffic lights?" Yes. No traffic lights, in a large city, it's a giant clusterfuck.

Welcome to SEA.

To this day I hope I didn't pick up lung cancer there, it was disgusting. Some of the cities in the Philippines are just really bad as far as air quality.

I love the Philippines, I really do, but it's not unconditional love, I'll call it like I see it, it has major issues and so does SEA.

If that's happening, you're coming off as shady/untrustworthy, you're not building enough comfort.

Or maybe you are shady/untrustworthy.

Who cares.

OP go wherever you like the chicks more. If you have yellow fever and want almost guaranteed bang hit the Philippines. If you like EE white chicks, Ukraine it is.

Glad I'm not the only one.

EE is the end game and its also an area of the world where you don't have to deal with downy behavior constantly. For the saner of us the "coldness" of not smiling all the time is preferable to the fakeness of always smiling and the inferno tropic climate, man I think I rather live in Alaska than deal with that.

Neat IQ chart, if you found that all by yourself, good job.

You're so smart to be able to do that.

By yourself and all.

You should reach out to ElDiabloBlanco, you guys could lube each other up and circle jerk together all day (intellectually speaking).

He could whisper sweet IQ scores into your ear while mounting you with his high IQ dick.

You guys would have a great time together.

The wifi blows except in select locations, and even if you can get an ok speed, you still have to deal with power outages cutting off the connection intermittently, especially when it rains, and it rains a lot. So working online in the Philippines is a dicey proposition.

This is simply not the reality somewhere like Makati. Cable internet is just fine. Even in Davao I had no problem over extended periods.
