I'm from Cebu, message me if you want to hang out.

A question for you Philippines experts.

I'm heading there on the 18th, starting in Manila, then on to Boracay for 5 nights.

I'm in two minds regarding either:

a. taking a girl that I like over to Boracay with me (one that I meet in Manila that is obviously suitable for an escapade of that sort), or

b. attempting to pull each night.

In my mind, both have their pros and cons. By the way, I don't see myself encountering trouble executing option b as I'm white, fit/presentable, mid 30's (can pass for late 20's) and don't have trouble with girls a lot younger even here... I just saw option a as potentially more viable/satisfying, given the relaxed setting I'll be in.

Thoughts?

Option A

As Pacfan said. Option A is the best option. Get laid every night in Manila, then just relax with your top girl in Boracay for 5 days.
Boracay especially this time of year is not great for picking up girls. Its still rainy season and not many tourist around. Towards the end of November is when everything starts picking back up again.

^ Thanks for confirming what I've been leaning toward guys.

Hopefully I can snag a good one in the lead up.

Yes, but I'd give myself a few days for hunting Korean tourist chicks.

LOL ofc option B ...

You are in fucking Phils and you say you look good, you shouldn't have problems pulling 2x per day.

I don't know about Boracay but here in Davao PESOnality applies only if looks are lacking (just like anywhere else in the world)

Why would you comment on a island you nothing about? Do you realize Boracay is a tourist island with only a population of 8000 with a big P4P culture.

Because it's like this pretty much everywhere I've been yet. First looks, then money then status ... Also learn to read, I said that I don't know about Boracay (as there could be exceptions).

You are telling a guy option B for a place you never set foot on. I am saying don't give advice for a place that you know nothing about. That is like me giving advice about all of Mongolia because I fucked a couple of girls in Ulan Bator.

You are right, how dare I do such a thing... Telling guy that he could get laid like a rockstar if he looks great in Philippines :/ Guess that Boracay place really does defy all laws of human attraction and only money matters.

Just a heads up, OKCupid in manila seems to have 4 times the userbase last time i was on it 6 months ago and the quality of girls looks better than the other sites. Not only that, sometimes you can screen out the virgins with the questions page they answered.

Hey thanks for the heads up. Just checked out Manila. Some good looking girls.

A girl a day is a bit much unless you are open to any type of girl in Manila. Scooping a upper class or even midclass girl is not as easy as it's portrayed but of course there are all types of chicks in Manila. Keep in mind you don't always know what you are getting into. Lots of chicks are groupies for tourists.

Marine detained in Filipino's killing: Navy memo

Quote:A U.S. Marine is in custody Sunday following the apparent killing of a transgender individual in the Philippines.

The Marine, whose identity has not been released, is being held on board the amphibious assault ship Peleliu while agents with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service piece together what happened Saturday night at the Celzone Lodge in Olongapo City, according to an internal Navy memo obtained by Marine Corps Times. Local Philippine police also are investigating the matter.

The Marine is assigned to 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The infantry unit is deployed to the Philippines as part of a joint training exercise. Three other Marines from the same unit, described as potential witnesses, also have been detained aboard the ship, according to the memo, which was distributed to dozens of senior Navy officials, as well as NCIS and State Department personnel.

Reached Sunday night, Marine Corps officials at the Pentagon declined to comment and directed Marine Corps Times to the U.S. embassy in Manila. Attempts to reach the embassy were not immediately successful. A spokesman for Marine Corps Forces Pacific in Hawaii also declined to comment.

Local media in the Philippines broke the story Sunday afternoon. U.S. officials there were bracing for protests as the news spread, the Navy memo indicates.

The victim was identified as 26-year-old Jeffrey Laude, police told Inquirer.net. Laude’s body was found just before midnight Saturday and apparently showed signs of strangulation.

Laude’s friend, who accompanied Laude and “a foreigner” to the hotel, reportedly told police they’d been at a local disco bar. Soon after they arrived at the hotel, Laude became uneasy and asked the friend to leave before “the foreigner could discover that they were transgenders,” Inquirer.net reported.

Thousands of U.S. troops are in the Philippines for PHIBLEX 15, a multinational exercise. The Peleliu is on a port call in Subic Bay that is scheduled through Tuesday, the Navy memo indicates.

It's pretty easy to tell if someone is a lady boy in the Philippines. I think he was too drunk to even notice.
The lady boy fucked with the wrong Marine.

^I don't see how it's any easier than any other country. The majority are obvious but there are plenty where it would be very difficult to tell, especially in a dimly lit disco.

Not saying I condone murder but these ladyboys know what they're doing when they fail to disclose their gender, as evidenced by the comment about leaving before he found out. They were aware that he was straight and not interested but continued along that path.

What happened was basically what you'd expect when a drunk Marine discovers he's been dancing with a pair of trannies for the past couple hours.

Thought he was getting a threesome, now he's charged with murder. What a shit night.

Yeah, they are playing a dangerous game. Maybe they don't get gays are hated by most countries were it's accepted in Philippines, or they are just that desperate? It's not always easy to tell from one picture on date in asia, site rules say they allowed to have profiles under girls and most won't disclose "it". These "girls" will tell all sorts lies and won't let up about admitting "something".

Is that obvious? Theres nothing that stands out, just something feels off. Basically just stay of DIA if you dont want to run into ladyboy, it's much easier to tell if you're at a bar.

Personally, I have a hard time identifying with the marine in this case, because it is really difficult to justify murder, unless in self-defense or something like an accident... or maybe sometimes with alcohol things just get a little crazy, but maybe we do NOT know enough of the facts.

If the marine killed the tranny, merely because he was tricked into a sexual interaction, that would be a bit much to say killing is o.k., but if the marine was just giving the tranny a beating out of emotion and maybe to teach a bit of a lesson and the killing was an accident and the beating just went too far, then that would be more understandable.

Really hard to put yourself into another guy's head, unless you know enough of the details or if you had a similar experience. Personally, I know that i have done a lot of crazy and regretful things when alcohol was involved.

So my girl in Manila tells me the deceased was engaged to be married to a German guy, and he's flying to the Philippines for the funeral. And to find another ladyboy, I guess.

Maybe he was into lady boys and the lady boy was into rough sex and being choked.
Prally not but I wanted to say it anyway

I got a handjob from a lady boy and looking back its kind of funny

1. They know.
2. It's not really "accepted" by Filipinos.

One way of spotting them online is something about them wanting people who "will accept who they are", "won't judge them", etc. because many people have a problem with them.

It may appear accepted at first glance because of some of the events they have, there's a popular talk show host who is a ladyboy, etc.

But many Filipino guys will talk shit about them behind closed doors and even girls who are friends with them actually think it's weird.

I remember being out with a girl and her cousin when I first got here. The cousin asked if she could invite "her friend" (should've known not to accept). It was a very obvious ladyboy, who left the table and the girls kept telling me "it's a gay" and laughing their ass off.

Throughout the night and the next day (when I was texting the girl), they would refer to them not by name or as their "friend", they would simply say "the gay". It's like if you referred to your friend as "the fatty".

There was another girl who claimed "they're gross and have so many diseases -- but they're fun to talk to".

I think the reason they seem to have a sort of prominence is simply because they're very loud and pushy in a place where most people are not. Filipinos are not very confrontational and usually aren't going to risk the public embarrassment of some ladyboy shouting at them after they've been told off. That doesn't mean they like or accept it.

Example #3093 of Rule 1: Bars and alcohol are super high risk places for all sorts of trouble.

I think it's usually pretty hard to kill someone, I thankfully have no experience in the matter. Maybe if you crack them in the head with something heavy one hit can do them in, but i t appears he drowned the person in a toilet bowl, there might have been a LOT of thrashing around that gave that Marine a lot of second chances to think about what he was doing.

20 years at least. You can't go around murdering people who disgust you or piss you off.
