So rent.ph, sulit, and craigslist are the best sites? any others?

another issue: paying advances and security deposits....how do you do it if you have a normal bank account? I'm thinking of bringing a few thousand USD in cash before I land so that I can just transfer it. Last time I was in makati I paid for a furnished condo by withdrawing as much cash as possible from two different debit cards. I'd rather not do that again.

Another question for guys currently in Manila or who have lived in Manila: is there a good place to buy suits or have suits tailored?

I have three cards and I only carry one at a time. I go to a bank and hit the ATM at the bank and deposit the cash right there. Guards with guns everywhere and I don't leave with anything so I'm not too worried.

Using debit cards to withdraw money is DEFINITELY safer than carrying a few thousand USD in cash.

Most condos have ATMs very close by. Just walk and withdraw the cash when you're ready to pay. There's usually armed guards nearby.

Props for this and I hope others do the same if that's their plan.

Call it Blue Pill but I personally think it is awful to make kids and not help support them. RVF'ers, the least you can do is cut a check for $5 a month if you want to rawdog and finish inside the locals.

I'm not into that.

$5 a month?

Your intention isn't blue pill at all, but I hope any respectable man on his forum would value his seed more than that!

No offense to either of you as I know your hearts are in the right places, but creating another 3rd world citizen to live off 100 - 250 a month in the world's shitholes isn't exactly full-fledged honor either. LOL I'd hope IKE or anyone else would be willing to do more than if some girl they raw-dogged and busted in shat out a kid.

If it was my kid, I don't want them to just get by in their 3rd world shithole. I want them to have a fighting chance to do something more.

I mean, most of us don't want that to happen anyways - so watch your ass with these broads - but you roll the dice you pay the price, in my opinion.

And this coming from a guy who has rolled the dice plenty of times in the trenches (thought my full-on busts inside have been few and far between and under the influence of copious amounts of liquor).
Vacancier Permanent 路 2014-03-18 10:10:00 路 #756
I agree with BB that if you were to get a girl pregnant it'd be a shame to let that poor innocent kid live in misery. Give him a fighting chance to get a good up bringing and a good education, both academic and from you as a strong masculine father figure. And of course to have the best chance of building a good life.

Anyone tried aggressive game on FC/blossoms(pushing for webcam sex, since I am not there yet)? I am getting over 50 girls to contact me daily ... It's insane.

Sure there are a decent amount of ugly ones that add but in general I can't complain about quality(though I am young, tall, good looking etc.) I actually canceled date with FB to chat with one of the hottest ones there. Before I was actually sad I had to leave my country full of tall, pretty white girls Smile But few days online changed that... I developed serious Asian fever, can't even think about white girls anymore.

Also wtf is with all the "I want boyfriend or I want to marry" from 18-20yrs old ? I seriously can't find girl with a slutty profile, though some older asian chick from Germany added me(34) and wants to exchange more pics "privately" Big Grin

Now I seriously can't wait to leave this cold place soon enough and enjoy everything Philippines have to offer =)

edit:oh and I think I've read here that these girls have some kind of forum where they talk about hunting white guys etc just like we do here for them.... Is this shit for real ? If yes,link it Big Grin

And I suggest that especially if you travel out of Manila and Cebu, you can easily meet a girl who has never dated a foreigner before, if it's so important to you.

So what's the diff? Your upper class girl has been pounded before anyway, even if it was by a local.

The difference can be summed up in the following points:

1. High risk of STDs. Mr "decent" beta probably has fucked many semi-pros in his life.

2. Lack of respect in local culture. It's easily spotable from a mile away to see semi-pros and their hustling ways in actio.. One gets much better service when you go out with a normal girl. If any locals see you with a gold digger, their money grubbing hands start going together. Its a chain reaction. Hustlers get annoying quick. Best to blend in.

3. Accidental Pregnancy. I like to raw dog and nut inside, and I would NEVER put any of my offspring in some poor girl's hands in a 3rd world country. Rich girls usually take the pill and avoid getting pregnant.

4. Educated personality. Hate talking to girls who are completely naive and stupid. Then again I am more of a casual dater then a ONS type of guy.

I have swooped a decent number of girls in my life, and have NEVER gotten any crazy stories like the ones I read frequently on this thread and others. Never been asked for money, phone spammed, stalked, had to kick any girl out.

I like your outlook blondechaser.

My impressions here there are lot of poorer/fc girls in Manila are very easy for the avid notch hound. Same with shoring semi pros. Each to their own, but unless these girls are out of the ordinary, I try to steer clear of these girls.

I would rather go for the highly prize PH girls, who tend to be more career focussed, college students and better off girls. Normally they have plenty of options and of course don't need your money and as a foreigner you may initially have to work harder to brush off the seedy foreigner syndrome.

Personally, a big part of this for me is personal growth. Sitting on FC, shoring semi pros and hustling around Malate wouldn't rock my world.

No disrespect to anyone. Just thoughts from my limited time in Manila. I'm prepared to be called out on these opinions.
JJJames 路 2014-03-18 23:58:00 路 #760
Okay ... So, condom broke last night. Spent all day dealing with this shit. The pharmacies here are RETARDED.

So, the girl left at 1am last night (she had to be home before her parents found out) after everything's closed, so I gave her 1,500 PHP to buy the morning after pill first thing in the morning. She goes to the pharmacy, they give her the most expensive pill they have but say they're not sure if it'll work. (WHAT THE FUCK?!) I ask her to send me the name of the pill they gave her. It was Diane 21/35 - a fucking BIRTH CONTROL pill, not a morning after pill. It's only effective after 1-2 weeks, NOT after unprotected sex.

How the fuck are these people prescribing medications?! "I think it'll work but I'm not sure?!" "I'll just give you the most expensive birth-related medication we have?!" Really?!

Anyway. I looked up the actual (only) morning after pill that's available in the Philippines. It's called Nordette.

I go to Mercury and ask if they have the morning after pill. They said "We don't have those in the Philippines." I ask "Do you have Nordette?" She goes "Yes! We have those." (What the flying fuck?!)

Anyway. For future reference, if you guys ever need it - the morning after pill that's available here is called Nordette. It comes in a box of either 21 white pills or 21 orange pills and 7 white pills.

Either this:

[Image: nordette.gif]

Or this:

[Image: cd86N6V.jpg]

The instructions on the box say to take 1 per day for 21 days. This is only accurate if Nordette is used as a birth control pill. In the US, Nordette comes with instructions on how to use it as a morning after pill, but those instructions are not on the box in the Philippines.

To use Nordette as a morning after pill, take 4 of the ACTIVE pills at once, as soon as possible. Then after 12 hours, take another 4 of the active pills. Stop. You can throw the rest of the pills away, you only need 8. The active pills are any of the white pills in the 21-pill box, or the orange pills in the 28-pill box. In the 28 pill box, the 7 white pills are just placebo sugar pills.

Hope that helps. Sorry if I sound angry, been dealing with shitty and dangerous medical information all day.

I'm actually mixed. half Asian / half White. Not Filipino. Best or worst of both worlds depending on who you ask.

Also funny you brought that up. My thought process applies throughout the world, including south america. Perhaps its ego, but I like the challenge of raw dogging some rich girl who usually dates only locals.

Surely, each of us have different tastes and differing preferences for girls and whether we question their bang rate or their bang history.

Personally, I do NOT get caught up in the extent to which girls may be banging other guys whether old or fat, except if I were thinking about a LTR with the girl or alternatively if I were worried about catching an STD.


Though I can relate with Blondechaser's stated concern that poor and/or uneducated girls could be more difficult to relate with, and that could be a bit irritating or bring complications to deal with certain cultural factors b/c the mindset is very different.... but then again how long term is such a bang relationship? or maybe it sounds like the I only bang 10s, argument?

I did get the sense that, there does seem to be some built up ill concerns percolating with BlondeChaser in regard to who's banging who and whether some ideas (or is it stories) that are a bit difficult to believe.....

but sometimes the truth could be more fantastical than fiction or sometimes it can be a chore to sort through disinformation... such as white guys will have trouble with LTRs in the phils b/c upper class pinays, supposedly prefer local asians.... I have found, even with politics, there could be some truth in any myth.

On my second trip, I brought plan B with me.

$50 bucks stateside.

Don't get it at home fellas...
JJJames 路 2014-03-19 09:23:00 路 #767
Actually, it's probably better to buy Plan B and bring it with you. The active ingredient in Nordette is Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol. From what I read, it's effective at preventing 7 out of 8 pregnancies, or about 88% success rate. The Plan B pill is progesterone based, and 96% effective at preventing an unwanted pregnancy if taken the morning after.

Morning after pills are illegal in the Philippines. Nordette's only allowed because it's also a birth control pill (when taken 1 pill a day for 21 days, instead of 4 pills + 4 pills 12 hours apart.) It's only marketed as a birth control pill, but is effective as a morning after pill as well. But it's statistically less effective than the actual Plan B pill.

So, if you're really worried about it, I'd still bring a Plan B with you.

I am wondering what % of those are semi-pros though(I don't really care, just curious) ? I only talked with few of the best looking ones and they seem like good girls and very family oriented Confused probably sucking some old men's dick while you are reading this though Tongue

I have a location problem in that I really hate the air pollution in Manila , but I'm so over educated 2ary cities are going to be a snooze. There are those HEPA air filters made by Holmes that can get almost all of the particulates out of the air in your apartment, and maybe if I only go out at night I can tolerate the Manila soup.

Right now I'm in the hotel Nikko lobby in Tokyo on stopover drinking coffee and watching the wonderfully dorky jchix. Wishing I was young and rich enough to game the tragically beautiful Japanese chicks. Maybe if I come here with my band and kill it that will be enough of a DHV.

Thanks for the encouragement on the benefits of staying in one place, it increases my confidence in that plan. These aren't people with a bent for long term planning , if you're not in their immediate environment you don't exist. That has a good side, Youngtallcool Ulrich competing with me from Germany is less likely to keep a girl off the mating market like he does in Ukraine.

Sorry, what/where is Cdo?

You can also rent an apartment in a high-rise tower in Manila, on a very high floor, like 20+ high floor... it will reduce air pollution, when you open your window, because of increased wind strength and air renewal.

iknowexactly, pollution will not be your main problem. Main problems are :

1 - Dealing with traffic jams. Logistics nightmare.

2 - Sorting through the MANY girls willing to meet. Deciding on which ones you want to meet.

But if you stay mentally strong and organized, you will have fun. I mean, lot of hot fun. Lot. Smile

What makes you say that? I know there is the unrest towards the east but most report that it hasn't effected CDO.

I'm actually thinking about spending a month or two there in the near future.

Here in Makati, the air really doesn't feel all that polluted to me. Before I got the condo I stayed in Malate for a couple nights. That was pretty bad. It's definitely better than Bangkok here, IMO.

Here's a much bigger problem: you can't buy decent hair gel anywhere. I like to have spikey hair, and all the cheapo gels here last maybe 3-4 hours before turning frizzy. I can't find any good gel anywhere!
