dreambig, you are probably right about her. Go with your gut.

Shimmy, the Tranny's are all over Tinder. Usually they will say it somewhere in their profile, or have a male name, but not always. After a while you will be able to spot them quickly or they may tell you after some texting. If you spend enough time there and date a lot there's the inevitability you will end up on a date with one. If something feels off, it usually is.

Some have suggested not putting the "Please no ladyboys or pros", because regular girls may see you as cruel and unsympathetic.

Thanks Dreambig for the intel!

You just saved me about a week's worth of hassle in Dumaguete. I'll visit Davao as it was a toss-up between those two. I know Reekay on his Dumaguete YTube channel likes to harp about all the pretty girls in Duma and how "if you play the field you will always without question get caught." He bangs on that drum constantly. Now I see that he mostly visits small towns where gossip spreads like wildfire.

Davao is quite a bit bigger so I'll set my sights on that city instead and leave Dumaguete to all the 50+ rich expats. It sounds like they've got the place locked down. Someone said they have nice beaches there so I pulled it up on Google Earth to have a peak. Not sure if I'm looking at the same Dumaguete but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Maui and even Boracay have way, way nicer beaches (though terrible spots for game obviously).

And I had no idea Sillivan Univ. was overrun with white students. There's a lot to be said for boots on the ground and not relying on Google Earth so much.

^That's what is great about RVF. I also considered Dumaguete, but now I know that it's not a good destination for a short trip (may still be a good place to settle for a few months or more).

I also read in one of the Russian blogs that there are no really nice beaches in/around Duma which is part of the reason why the place is still relatively cheap.

I noticed that. I deleted a good portion of my matches when spoofing just by looking at pics and spotting them or their profile saying it. I'm guessing tinder isn't the best avenue, but good lord is it easy there. I was planning on doing Gramercy which is attached to the mall and day gaming there as well. Does anyone have a good airbnb or connect there that they would recommend?

Just make sure you have an onward ticket mate or they won't even let you board the plane to the Phils:-)

Will they let you board the plane if you pay for a visa before leaving to the Phils?

You're welcome. The girls are hard work, but I have to say the place is beginning to grow on me. With a good social circle it is going to be more fun for sure.

Siliman is far from overrun by the way. It says on their website that they get around 300 international students a year. I think most are Asian or African. In a town of 100,000 that's not a lot of white students.

I'm not sure what you mean CS.....unless you have a work visa (9G) or a resident type visa (13) which would be indicated on your ACR Card (Peza visa are exempt from ACR card!) then you must have an onward ticket from the Philippines to show the agent. They are quite strict on this, most of the lads will just show a ticket with Air Asia, Cebu Pacific etc to some other place...........paying for an extension visa can as far as I know only be done once you are actually on the ground here in the Phils, although don't quote me on this as I have never had to do it!

Yeah you understood what I meant. So basically buy the cheapest onward ticket you could find with Air Asia, get an extension visa at arrival, and just skip the onward flight?

This leads me to wonder about their general intellect and gun skills if anything serious actually went down

I've been told by girls guards are very low paid. Their english is typically very bad and they are friendly but very poor at giving directions.

The girls told me a guard said his pay was less than 250 a day-- less than $7 a day.

Or buy a refundable plane ticket, then cancel it when you land.

It's been covered multiple times on here guys. Just email yourself an itinerary from Expedia. Copy into Word and change it to "confirmed". Make sure you put a flight number in there also. Save that image and present to the airline during check in. Immigration doesn't even care it's just the airlines you need to get past.

dreambig, are you going to that Tanduay Polarity festival this coming friday?

18 days and finally broke the dry spell.

Proper freak in bed too.

The Philippines always deliver!

Looks fine. There is one thing most of us RVF members are: persistent. motherfuckers Go get a new one this weekend Dreambig.

Just banged a second one tonight. Don't have a photo but cute face and great arse on her. No power at my place right now so all there was to do was bang. Absolutely annihilated her! Both of these girls must think I'm an animal.

The hot cocktease from before is inviting herself around for tomorrow. Could make it 3 in 3 days. Funny how that works sometimes. Nothing then several in a row. I'm not consciously doing anything different, but things are finally coming together it seems.

How do you guys deal with pipelining? I was curious about strategy so I tried out tinder yesterday. I told them my flight came into Manila but going to Cebu for 2 weeks (I actually arrive in 2 weeks). I told them lets get together when I get back. I got whatsapp/viber for 20 girls and numbers for 2 that didn't have viber or whatsapp. It's amazing how much easier it is. I feel like you don't need to even try.

Dreambig,
Nice one man! She looks sexy from those pics!
But an 18 day dry spell in the Philippines? How is that even possible? What happened man?

Good to hear that things have picked up!

For pipelining multiple girls, giving them your flight number seems counterproductive if you're going for something more than notch counts.

Take multiple mini-relationships. You're seeing a girl in Cebu but also two other girls, one in Davao and the other in Dumaguete, each a fair distance apart. Assuming you're smart enough not to be on FB, Twitter and the like with her, how easy is it for your main girl to bribe the airport stewardess to snitch on you (who is probably related somehow)? Tell her what city you're going to, pay a few pesos to her fifth cousin's brother-in-law's golf partner to follow you around in Dumaguete? It seems to me that all she would need is your flight number.

For this reason I don't ever give out flight numbers nor do I give my real last name or let her drop me off at the airport. Going covert seems like the most secure way to travel with far less drama. The downside is I can't leave my real passport where she can find it. Everything must be locked down tighter than Fort Knox. In fact, I can't even allow her any peek at all at my laptop except for games, nor can she see any other form of ID. Not that she even needs to mind you, but unfortunately all of this gives off a very suspicious vibe on a subconscious level and cannot easily be suppressed (I've tried).

I'd rather drama ensue over suspicion rather than catch me banging her twin cousins Suzie and Cherry two cities over. She'd come in blazing like Doc Holiday and that would end my three-way romp rather quickly.

Dumaguete is a little different to other places in the Philippines. It's a small, conservative town where people talk shit about each other.

Girls who meet up with foreigners in public get rumours spread about them being hookers. And yes, that includes girls associating with relatively young, in shape foreigners so you don't get an RVF pass. It's the first time I've ever heard this in the Philippines, but maybe it is similar in other conservative places?

Girls who drink are also considered to be somewhat slutty. From what I'm told, Silliman is very strict on student conduct, especially for girls. You can get kicked out for practically nothing, so it sounds as if it's not the party college that people might imagine.

If you go on a date and the girl doesn't have a chaperone you lucked out because most of them require one. No coincidence that the two I banged met me alone and also drink alcohol. They are obviously sluts.

In the beginning I was questioning myself and my game. Now I realise it's just the nature of this town. The place is growing on me though. It's a pleasant town that is great for chilling out for a while but maybe that's the issue here - nice places attract more foreigners.

Have you guys noticed most girls will give you the +63 when giving you their numbers and a few just a 0 before the number? Are the ones adding the +63 the ones who chase foreign guys?

I think you're thinking too much into it.

I'm pretty sure with viber you need to use the +63 which is probably why most people give the number with that.

I've only ever had to show an onward ticket to the airline staff before boarding, never with immigration.

What I do is just edit an old itinerary in gmail to match a new return flight then take a screenshot on my phone and show them the image. Just make sure its with a different airline.

Ok that makes sense then Dreambig.
I can imagine the smaller cities being more or less similar, at least among the good, middle class girls.

Seeing that the city is very popular with older foreign retirees, is that making the cost of things higher than than say in Cebu for example? Specially in terms of accommodations, both short term hotels and apparts there? What would be the going rate for a nice studio or 1 bedroom not far from the action and or the beach? And how much should one budget for a comfortable living on a month to month basis there?

Thanks man.

It's very cheap here. Much cheaper than Cebu or Manila. You can find a basic unfurnished studio from $100/month. I'm paying around $250 for a furnished 1BR with pool. I've seen whole houses further out advertised for under $200. If you are OK with a quiet life you could make it work for next to nothing here.

You can eat out for $2-4. Restaurants and cafes are very reasonably priced, but consider that $3-5 is a whole day's salary for a local around here.

As for accommodation, there really aren't many proper hotels in Dumaguete City proper. Those tend to be more in the beach areas such as Dauin. In the city there are basic guesthouses for around $5-6 a night. Emphasis being placed on basic! The last place I stayed at didn't even have flush toilets.

Groceries are reasonable but not as cheap as I'd expected. Fruit and vegetables in the supermarkets are ridiculously overpriced, though I'm told farmers' markets offer better value. That said, Robinson's has as good a choice of food and meat etc as you would find in the West.

Haven't been here long enough to know how much to budget monthly but I'll struggle to spend over $1,000 I think.

About the girls, it's surprisingly not even a class thing. Chicks making 125 pesos a day have been just as reluctant to meet up in public as richer ones. In any case, it's not Manila. Most normal chicks you meet here are relatively "poor". Might be different if you can break into the student groups.

When are you making the big move VP?
