^^ They have lots of pork here. But that doesn't in anyway mean they have quality products. Hygiene standards are simply different in poorer countries.

You want any kind of quality beef, pork, or chicken you are going to pay extra for the imported version. Yes they do have a local version and it is good enough. If you are on a budget and looking to save a few pesos then buy local. But it is not quality.

Can anyone elaborate on this? Is it common? Just common with women who date foreigners? Does this also mean Filipina women are chronically unfaithful and not to be trusted, or does it depend on the circles you run with?

P.S. What's up? Did you bang her or not, Booshala?

Was too weirded out by the situation on meeting a guy for the first night and having him pimp out his girl to me so didn't bang. I'm sure it sounds fantastical, it was to me too, and am still wondering what it was all about.

Nah - doesn't sound too fantastical. People are into all kinds of kink. It was just the sentence I bolded above that raised my eyebrows, as I took it as an implication that it was normal behavior. Thanks for the clarification.

Anyways, I probably would have turned it down too unless I was well hammered and he was already making moves on one of the other girls, so as to show he was serious. I've skipped out on some similar situations. I even had a buddy try to convince me to bang his mom once back in high school (she was grabbing on my dick right in front of him). It was just too much. Seemed too awkward and I'd known the kid my whole life. Not to mention his stepdad was chilling in the house down below. :o

Some situations I'd just rather leave alone.

And when it comes down to it I'm not into getting all swappy with bitches. Call me sentimental but it just doesn't do it for me.

Can probably buy imported bacon there, but I want a restaurant that serves up a big, legit American breakfast. Even Bourbon Street had shit Thai bacon, and those square hashbrowns that come from a box. Was super disappointed.

Post: #129

If you like bacon, you shouldn't have any problems here. I get a few packs along with my eggs every week from the SM Supermarket near me, and I would say the quality is as good as that found in the U.S. Finding decent sausage though, is a different story, at least in my experience. It's just not the same. Have to agree about the hygiene standards... the eggs I buy, look dirty, like they were just grabbed out of the coop and put into the carton.

BB:

I have heard many guys, including guys on this forum, disclose their fantasy to have a "three-some." Personally, I may be o.k. with a three-some in a situation that i am comfortable. However, so far, I have NOT really fantasized about threesomes too much.

Threesomes are NOT really swappy, yet do you view threesomes differently from swapping?

I tend to be more motivated with the concept of swappy than with the concept of threesomes, and maybe it could be a bit of a turn on for me to bang some girl with a relationship with another guy.. whether the guy knows about it or NOT.... If I know the guy, then probably, I would NOT feel comfortable, unless either he knows about it or that the girl is making all lot of the moves in such a way that I am NOT having to work, at all.

Also, I tend to be o.k. with banging women who are in committed relationships - as long as I do NOT know the guy. This has happened to me quite a bit. And, in those situations, the girl(s) tends to do most of the work in the relationship, and sometimes even act as a form of sugar moma to pay for a lot of things (probably the husband and/or boyfriend's money.. but I do NOT ask)...

Accordingly, if the gal wants to hook up with me, and I tend to NOT ask detailed questions about motivations.. just go through with it, without any strings attached. Easier to exit those situations, too.

Sounds like fish and chicken are your best bets for quality and protein?

My favorite chain restaurant in Manila was Mang Inasal, decent portions of roasted chicken or grilled fish available for a low price, with vegetable sides and "unli" rice.

Online dating in Manila...

I have never done much online dating before moving to Manila. I read through Fisto's guide (http://swooptheworld.com/how-to-bang-3-w...ilippines/) and 20nations post on RVF about there online gaming strategies. I am not here to rewrite anything these guys have taught. Just to add a few random thoughts I have learned along the way.

- You can find secret internet fatties even in Asia.
- Create a new Facebook account, only add a few photos, set all the privacy features to strict. This account is not to show how cool you are but only so you can view their profiles. This has saved me countless times. Any girl can find 3 or 4 good pics but you often get to see the real version on her Facebook account. Don't be an idiot and use your normal Facebook account.
- A list of all the ways I have met girls online so far...
filipinocupid.com
dateinasia.com
badoo.com
skout app
wechat app
- Organization is key! Having a system to keep track of girls is huge. 20nataion and Fisto have posted variations on this. I have a similar system that I copied from them.
- I see guys who come here and use shitty old school phones. I have said it several times already... Smart phones (android or iPhone) is a must.
- Don't delete #'s. I made this mistake. Now I don't have a clue who I get text from. I thought I was going to "clean up" my contact list. Why did I do that? Just keep the #'s. I am an idiot.
- On the iPhone you can block numbers you add to your contact list. Just scroll down in the contacts and you will see "block this caller" Very useful for the crazies you will find. I am sure android has this feature as well
- Average quality of girls online is not great. If you are here more than a few weeks you have to learn how to sift through the girls to find quality. And there is some quality girls, just takes time to find.
- If a girl is over 23 there is a 50% chance she has a kid. I don't fuck girls with kids.
- Open all the apps and online sites several times a day to keep your profile near the top of the list.
- Don't be lazy and just respond to girls who message you first. You have to find and message the hotties.
- Online game can be a huge time suck. I have found myself loosing whole afternoons on this shit.
- Sundays are the best meet up days. Girls are not working or don't have school.
- Girls will not show up on time. Don't expect it. If you live near a mall and have them meet you there your life is simplified. You can just have them text you when they arrive and you can chill in your condo until then.
- Everything you do should be about how to get the girl in your condo. After that your are 90% of the way to getting the bang.
- Getting a girls #, getting her Facebook, etc... is easy. Fucking the girl on the first meet up within 2 or 3 hours of meeting is easy. Getting the meet up is the problem. Manila is a huge city and traffic is going to be a giant cock block. A girl can live 8 miles away but it would take her 2+ hours to meet you in the day time if she is using jeepneys.

Online dating can be addicting in SEA.

It's like shopping on Amazon. I can spend all day ordering shit on there.

Ordering up Asian girls may be even more addicting.

Post: #135

BB,

You have all the material to write a memoire filled with juicy and crazy stories aka all the ingredients for a best seller!!! Get to work amigo!

My fastest online bang ever...

Get on FC last night to check messages and see a new one from a cutie. Ask for her Facebook and she answers right away. I add her up and see she is really cute. I send her a message...

Me: Hey where in Manila do you live?
Her: Pasig but now at my friends condo in Fort Bonifaco

Me: Really? Cool I live in Fort Bonifacio. What Condo are you at?
Her: I am at XXXXXX

Me: What? Are you serious? That is my condo building!
Her: wow really? we should meet hehehe

Me: Yeah lets hang out. Come up to my room XXXX.
Her: Can you come to my friends condo XXXX?

Me: Sure... Be there in 5 minutes
Her: OK )))))

I go to the friends condo and chat with her and the friend for about 5 minutes then say "hey I have to be near my computer so I can return emails for my work. Lets go hang out at my condo" *Works like magic*

Get to my condo and we are banging in 15 minutes. In total from first message to bang... less than 40 minutes!

DD, how much are you running per month living in the Fort? Roughly speaking. I'm very interested in spending some time there in the coming year.

Cheers.

Post: #138

I spend around $3K USD. I generally buy what ever I want and live a great life on this amount. You could easily live in the Fort on 2K USD if you watched your budget.

Why Manila Sucks

Most of my post so far have been fairly positive about Manila. I don't want to give guys the wrong impression or to hype this city up. Here are a few of the reasons Manila sucks.

- Air pollution. This is reason enough not to come here. I am normally a healthy guy and rarely get sick. Here I am constantly coughing up mucus, finding nasty shit in my nose, and just generally congested.

- Traffic. It is hard to imagine the affect this can have on your life. You will make decisions daily based on traffic. It will be your biggest cock block.

- No "useful" public transportation options. Yes I know there is an MRT and LRT but it seems mostly useless at least to the average expat our tourist. In Bangkok I would guess over 50% of tourist at some point use the BTS or MRT. In Manila I would guess less than 10% use the MRT or LRT.

- Absolutely nothing touristy to do here. In Bangkok I always had a full 3 days of things I could have people do when they came to visit. Manila... Nothing. Seriously I have gone to the supposed touristy things to do here and I couldn't recommend one.

- You are not going to find hardly any girls in the 8+ category. Tons of cute petite girls that pass the boner test. Few if any stunners. The girls here can't dress for shit. Thai girls put pinay's to shame when it comes to style.

- Poverty. Parts of this city is depressingly poor.

- Internet sucks and is expensive. With some effort and living in the right areas of the city you can find decent connections but it is a challenge. Expect to have disconnections daily. LTE/3G sucks as well.

- Filipino Food. Nothing more to say...


To be honest this list could go on and on. I am interested in what some of you other guys who have been to Manila would to add to the list.

You could go to the walled city and see a lot of interesting historic sites and buildings.

Jump on your bike and drive to tagaytay, there's a volcano coming out of a lake you can actually go into by boat, it's amazing.

Then wrap up by having dinner at Josephine's overlooking Taal lake.

There's stuff to so there man. I didn't find the pollution any worse than bkk personally.

Are you going to higher end clubs? There are girls dressing well there.

Post: #141

I have driven to Tagaytay, but I was not considering that Manila since it is over an hour drive outside the city. Yes there is touristy stuff to do in the Philippines but 98% of it is outside of Manila.

The pollutions is worse then Bangkok, maybe not dramatically but even the quality air index says so. Maybe I notice it more because I am driving a motorcycle around. The amount of cars/trucks/jeepneys that spew out nasty shit is worse then Bangkok. The fact Bangkok does not have Jeepneys is probably a big reason why.

You are right, if you hang out at the fort strip or resorts world you will find plenty of girls that can dress well. But that is a very small percentage. Go to any mall in Bangkok and the girls are on average are dressed better then in Manila.

You damn sure have a ton of very unique and crazy shit experiences man! Please do tell us more about the guy pimping his own mom for you to bang! Ahahah thats insane!!

haha Pretty off-topic, but yeah it was pretty hilarious. She was a little rough-looking but she had these huge fake tits and hey we were just kids, so that alone was pretty exciting at the time. I was 17 already living on my own and my roommate and I were visiting his pops out of town. This guy I grew up with had moved to that area, so we pitched in for a keg of beer and planted ourselves at his trailer up above his mom's house for the weekend.

His mom wandered up one night all hammered and dressed in this skimpy little outfit. She thought I was cute and kept dancing in front of me, shaking her ass, etc, and trying to get me to get up and dance. At one point her too-tight top popped her bra-less tittie out right in front of us and we started laughing. Happened a few times and half the time she didn't even notice for about 20-30 seconds and we were just rolling. She was pretty faded.

Then she got all onnery. Got up and started grinding my knee and shoving her tits up in my face. Pulling them out of her shirt.

I had half a mind to grab one in my mouth but was expecting my buddy to get mad and didn't know what to do - so I just kept clowning her and brushing it off. She got relentless again and got up and started reaching for my cock. I kept telling her it was small and nothing to be excited about - that only made her more relentless and she kept saying I was like Howard Stern an probably had a big dick and just called it small to get the girls curious- kept reaching for it, etc.

I just kept laughing it off. Then I went outside to fill my beer and my friend (her son) joined me. I made a joke about it to make it less awkward - don't remember what - and he just laughed and said it was funny, that she was crazy, and that I should fuck her. I was like "whoah that's your moms bro - I can't do that." at which point he just just waved it off and said "It's just sex, Man. It's natural."

Was just too weird and while I was warming up to the idea the drunker I got I never did properly push for the bang.

Next morning we joined his stepdad for breakfast and he says "did she show you guys her tits last night?"

At which point we all say at once "No!" hahaha Guy was an old school cowboy type - I don't think he gave a shit to be honest. He said he tried taking her to a strip club once and they got kicked out because she got all competitive and jumped on the stage.

That same weekend my roommate and I also beat the hell out of some guys in my friend's driveway - I knocked one out cold and sensitive guy I am picked him up and carried him inside to put him on a bed. lol And then the next night I almost got in a fight with another friend of his that was supposed to be my ride. So my buddy and I rolled his mom's car out of the driveway and jacked it to get me back to where I was staying.

Kid didn't even have a license yet and was hammered - on the way home, some cops tried to pull him over and he made a run for it. They followed him all the way home and tackled him in the yard, were macing him down when the mom came out freaking and she got maced too.

Wild times. Needless to say I wasn't welcome back to her house anymore after that, so I never did get to try for the bang after that first opportunity. She was partied out and washed up anyways and I'm thinking it may have been a good thing in the end.

Nah, I'd already been dropped off. I didn't even find out until a couple weeks later as I headed back home in the morning. Luckily my buddy was still a minor. I think he was 15 or 16 years old. So he got in big trouble but nothing he couldn't outlive.
