RE: The Philippines thread
To answer the questions about LIV.

Located at times square. Google map leads to a slum nearby if you look for liv cebu , keep in mind.

Pretty decent club, but nothing special. Thai style layout with tables everywhere and a very small dance floor. Not a good setup for picking up girls.

Higher end crowd, mostly locals, ratio not good, more than 50% dudes, or maybe I was unlucky on Friday night.

Actually some young foreigners there too, but nothing compared to mango square. Mango square, btw, is utter shit.

Didn't see anybody suited up at liv, I wasn't either. One philippino guy had a leather jacket on, seemed more appropriate for the place. Some t shirts, v necks, polos, dress shirts. I wore a nice shirt which was about right for the venue.

Didn't see a lot of single girls, mostly mixed groups.

There's another club called hyper rooftop bar, a misleading name because it's just a regular big box. I went there around midnight last night, left quickly because wanted to check out Liv. Might go back there tonight.

RE: The Philippines thread
The good thing about clubs and bars here is that drinks are cheap as fuck. 100 pesos beer, 150 screwdriver even at Liv. Cover fee is negligible and includes a drink voucher.

I mean in Jakarta you'll pay 15 bucks for a shitty cocktail or like 10 for water at dragonfly. I'd still rather go clubbing in Jakarta than here.

I posted extensively about my time in Dumaguete. It is somewhere in this thread.

The majority of girls are prudish. In fact, I found that many were plain intimidated by being approached in public. Can take quite a lot of work to get these girls on a date. They need a lot of reassurance of your intentions and seem embarrassed to be seen with a foreigner. I made the mistake of targeting this crowd in the beginning of my stay and ran into a brick wall of no sex for the first 2 weeks.

Then there is a slutty minority who most of the foreigners are banging. Everyone knows everyone. You will probably get caught if you bang multiple girls, but it won't matter much. They will still like you anyway. Some of these girls were having fights over me in the bars. They are crazy about their white guys.

Don't bother with online before you go. Why? You will see those girls around in the expat bars anyway. Trust me on this one. The same girls that were ignoring your messages online want to suck your dick after 5 minutes talking in real life. Go figure.

I certainly hit some legit hot chicks while there. One of them in particular was ridiculously hot and very memorable in bed. I suspect the dynamic could be similar in other towns of a comparable size. It's pretty easy to be the big fish in such a small pond, so you are bound to find some hotties eventually. Even in the sticks.

There's a relatively high number of expats, much older crowd though. Not a place to run up really big numbers, but it's a nice town. Very nice in fact. For me though, there just wasn't a very good social scene for a younger guy. Barely anyone to hang out with. If I were 50+ I'd feel more comfortable there for sure.

Never been to Bacolod but might be interesting. Same island as Dumaguete. Less foreigners there I expect.

PM me for accommodation options in Bangkok.

Brodiaga- how's the ease in Jakarta vs. Manila/Cebu for nightgame? Are the ratios similar in many of the clubs?

RE: The Philippines thread
^Small sample size in Cebu to judge, only went to clubs two nights here.

You'll find a lot more beautiful girls in jkt or even Manila than here. In clubs or elsewhere.

As for ease of pulling from clubs, this is SEA. If you put in approaches, something will stick eventually. Whether or not you will regret next morning is a different question.

Ratios are shit even in popular clubs in Jakarta. The secret is already out. I mean, every schmuck can Google this thread and buy a ticket.

RE: The Philippines thread
One thing I'm doing wrong here is not day gaming. Another rvfer tried it and got a bunch of numbers. This could be one of the easiest places in the world for day game. I should try that, too hungover now though.

A couple of times, chicks unsuccessfully tried to day game me at Ayala mall, likely hookers, I didn't bother to ask. Classic direct day game.


The most beautiful girls here are Koreans. There's no contest. The attractive ones look better than some of the local models. As mentioned by other posters, they are always accompanied by guys, the biggest cockblockers in the world. If they were alone, they'd probably be approached several times a day by washed up western men.

Speaking of old Western men, many of them walk around with better looking Philippinas than the ones I pulled here. Money may have something to do with it.

I'm a bit surprised that people weren't suited up when you went to LIV? Maybe weekends they are more lax. Really hope that Hyper is poppin when you make it there.

I never spent much time at the places on the second floor or that Comedy Club. Anyone have luck at those places?

2nd floor clubs were mostly awesome. There's not much distinguishment between them, which is why I didn't bother doing a venue-by-venue breakdown. I had most luck at The Beat and Passion. Everyone who goes to Mango should hit every club in 1 night and just bounce between em, there's no way you can't pull a 7 after enough rounds.

Daygame was hard in Cebu for some reason. The streets generally just suck and i was never in the mood, and not as much eye-fucking as Makati. Never ran into hookers at Ayala for some reason. Maybe try (the insanely crowded) Colon st, supposedly it's easy to get #s from girls there, but i was always with friends.

Cyclone, at mango, how do you screen for hookers?

Also, is it worth going to clubs Sunday and Monday nights or are they empty?

RE: The Philippines thread
Girls off FC, dia and tinder are very flakey here. They are always late. One was 6 hrs late. They agree to dates but not show up or even bother to text you in advance. Their phones always either lose Internet connection or run out of credit or juice.

To put it in perspective, American girls are many times better when it comes to planning the first date. If they flake, most of them will text you and let you know. If they are late, it's usually minutes not hours. At least, that's been my experience where I live. Guys with more experience in both the US and phils, feel free to tell me if I'm wrong.

In Cebu, I would suggest not just double booking, but fucking triple booking dates here. Or even not bothering with online game at all if you normally prefer day or night game.

In all my time here I've actually never had a girl just not show up without saying so. I've never had a girl cancel last minute. I've had a number flake the day before or earlier in the day off though.

However, girls are always late here. I'm waiting on one right now. But can we blame them? The traffic is fucking insane in the Philippines. It took me 45 minutes yesterday to go 3km.

I always push for meet ups close to my place then tell the girl 'text me when you're 15 minutes away from spot X". That way I just chill, like I am now, in the comfort of my place until she's near.

I'm so used to Filipino time I sort of forget what it was like in the States. But I think we can say girls are far more punctual there.

At Bango Square I would straight up ask the girls if they were working. That's one way to tell.

Anyway, girl just texted....have fun down there B.

Everytime I read trip reports from Cebu I am wondering if I know any of those girls you guys are writing about. I have been to Mango Square quite often and noticed that some girls are there almost every weekend. Just like Brodiaga said, it's almost impossible to not run into any girls you already fucked.

RE: The Philippines thread
On motorbikes and logistics, I respectfully disagree with Cyclone. Taxis are cheap and easy to get. Traffic is shit, but this can be solved by staying central. I'm right next to Ayala mall which is great for dates with plenty of bars and restaurants. It doesn't close at 9 either. Some places are open till 11pm, maybe even later. So, as a short term visitor I would recommend this location, same as near makati Greenbelt in Manila. The closer to mall the better.

If you decide to get a bike, make sure you know the risks. I rode a motorbike drunk from clubs in Thailand which was plain stupid in retrospect. Luckily, no injuries. Even the you don't drink, an air conditioned taxi is way better than bike.

RE: The Philippines thread
Hey Brodiaga

Day game isn't really any better. I have approached about 40 women in I.T park and at ayala mall. Think I've gotten 25 phone numbers. Almost all the women seemed interested when I was chatting with me. But, after I got the number it was the same old shit. Never text back, want to bring a friend and get free meal or flake. Your right about the Koreans being the prettiest girls but, they are never alone and I have received zero eye contact.

RE: The Philippines thread
This was my 7th trip to Manila and stayed in Mandaluyong which is like center of Manila and has easiest access to all places around for girls to come in to my condo.

As mentioned. Women are never the problem in Philippines. Its the corruption, traffic, pollution, crime etc is. Your main battle will be forces of nature, & corrupt men never a women.

1. Traffic in Manila has become horrendous. I repeat it has become a nightmare to travel in Manila. If you are staying long term and renting a condo. Only stay around EDSA main road.

The avg. travel time from Point A To Point B has jumped to over 2 hours now. It takes forever to meet a girl or make her come to your condo during peak hours. There has been endless debates on how to decongest manila traffic with no end in sight. The problem will get worse as X'Mas and New years comes.

2. My suggestion for Condo is BSA Twin Towers Condo near SM Mega Mall. It is closer to one of the biggest malls in the world. Literally few steps away. You can get anything in Mega Mall. Has an Awesome IMAX theater Plus endless Buffet and other eating options, also its near EDSA, MRT - getting a Taxi and for girls to find your place would not be a problem. Taxi drivers have become very choosy, so unless you go to a known destination you will have to wait.

If you are staying in Makati Near Burgos, say good bye to Taxis during X mas Season, Its nearly impossible to get taxis in Makati in less than 30 to 40 minutes time.

I have searched over 100 condos and BSA Twin Towers, GA Tower, Light Residences are the best option, they all are in Mandaluyong. Mandaluyong is the center of manila and its easier to go from here to any place.

3. Since, I have lots of stamps. The immigration officers are getting itchy and asking all sorts of useless questions. They all suspect me as a sex tourist or a illegal worker. During this trip, I was asked about 20 to 30 questions and made to show my hotel reservation, my return ticket was checked. I was questioned for over 20 minutes while the others waited in line.

TIP: As soon as you get off the plane. Walk SLOW and look for the counter which moves faster. When you reach the immigration, you will see 7-8 counters and people lining up. Just WALK SLOW and look for a line which is moving the fastest and then get in line Smile. I did this during all my trips but this time, just did not consider it and paid the price. You need a good immigration officer to be on the safe side when you have so many stamps.

Thumb Rule: Go to the counter with YOUNG MALE Immigration officer. Women Immigration Officers are Bitchy and HATE SINGLE MALE TOURIST TRAVELLING ALONE. Never consider women immigration officer in Philippines, all have become too suspicious.

Also, No matter what happens. NEVER EVER be angry, be sensible...SMILE and give BS replies to all their questions with a Smile Smile...We all know how Philippines judiciary is....There are only losers in court system and in prison. You loose your pride and ego in immigration and you WIN it all once outside Smile

4. We know Internet Sucks in Philippines and it still sucks as I have been coming to Philippines for over 10 years now. So, if you plan on working from home deal it would be hard. Best Option is to go to Co Working Space. There is also Pocket Wifi option which seems to work fine for checking mails and web surfing etc but not for online work.

There are Co-Working Space in Manila where you can go everyday and get fast internet. I used Co.Lab in Mandaluyong. All Co Working Space have super fast internet connection plus free coffee, they will also bring food, if you need and have a good working vibe over all with many Filipinos, expats working along side you.

5. I would rather avoid December time as all OFW from all over the world come to Manila Plus How Filipinos celebrate New Year went quite viral last year so expect many more tourist to come this year. Check out the video below. Everyone rated Manila having the best New years fire works Pollution excluded Smile






6. Seriously, I never had any problems with women in Philippines. Its the taxis, internet, condos, traffic, pollution, food are the major problem which made my stay unpleasant. I would suggest those who are preparing dedicate 60 to 70% of their time on force of nature than women.

Women are very respectful in Philippines and respect men like anything, your wish is like their command, they are up for almost anything. They rarely complain. some pester for money but most are good if you can weed out the diggers.

Overall Considering how the world is going down the drain along with women. Philippines still rocks - I don't think a single men can go to Philippines only once no matter how much we b*tch about it, Filipina women makes it worth Smile

RE: The Philippines thread
To continue the cebu discussion..

Had a second date with the model. Perfect logistics, pre drink at my place before going to dinner.

So, we sit at my place, in my bed drinking screwdrivers. My hands are all over her, but whenever I try to kiss or touch *really* sexually, she turns away and says she's uncomfortable.

Then she tells me about being old fashioned, having to wait, not like other girls etc. I am too red pill, for lack of a better word, to take what girls say at face value. Maybe she's using me as a beta chode to pay for meals at nice restaurants, maybe right now that I paid for her taxi, she's taking it to ride some model fuckboy's cock....

My intuition tells me that while she sure gave it up on first dates before, she's probably going back home to her strict parents though. I enjoyed the time even if she used me as a meal ticket (less than 14 bucks for dinner and drinks for two at one of the best restaurants in Cebu) . I'd rather have dinner with a model at a nice rooftop bar than fuck an average slut in all holes.

Then model has a photoshoot tomorrow, and we might meet after that. Tough one to crack, if possible at all, but I'll try.

Going clubbing again tonight wish me luck guys.

Quick question, maybe I missed it if you mentioned it before, but where did you fish the model? Tinder? FC? Day Game? Night game? Social game?

RE: The Philippines thread
Location :cebu city. Same place outside the building where I'm staying.

4am

So, my rvf buddy and i went to hyper roof club. He left early, I stayed but didn't get laid. Got 2 numbers, one most likely fake.

At the club, I joined a table with some of the most beautiful girls I've ever met. Got a number of a legit 9. I'm not exaggerating. However, couldn't pull any girl from that table even though they were all nice to me. When tried to call the 9, it said number couldn't be reached

Another girl, a 6 from a different table, volunteered to give me her number. The 8-9 table saw that, but whatever. Then the 6 left with her cock blocking sister.

I got back to the models, but they were cold, though polite.

Oddly, no other white fuck boys at that club. It was pristine. Perhaps the girls were cold because they wanted to keep it that way.

At least I'm not drunk. Have a date planned with a new girl tomorrow lunch time, another one in the evening. If the model calls or the club 9 (who is even more beautiful) responds, any pre planned dates with online sluts are getting cancelled.

Number wise, 4 lays in 6 days, quality unimpressive.

My buddy is doing much better, he'll share his thoughts if he chooses to.

Argh.. 30 days is free stay without visa, but i will stay 31 days
(arrival 16.12, 'first day' then is the 17.12, i leave at 06:40 in the morning of 16.1, which is the 31th day)
But no choice it seems, they check it before i fly and then i would be in trouble.

I can't just get a 59 day visa instead of the 30 day visa at the airport do i? (for money)
I will get the visa beforehand by philippine embassy. I send my passport and 27 euros there and they send it back.


Thinking about which phone thing i get - telephone, sms, internet -> for mobile phone and internet. I stay 31 days, so i guess a 30 day thing is fitting (hm, gotta get another simcard at the last day i guess, or i don't need it anymore).

Pre-paid sounds most uncomplicated.

Globe or smart - i am staying in Manila, Quezon City. 'I guess' they should both work the same.

On Globe you can 'design' your own thing.
I was thinking about what i need and came up with:
[Image: ZlUSmY3.png]
(Don't know what happens when i get over eg 20min of telephoning, does it just stop me from doing that or do i just pay a per minute prize then)

I don't even know how this works in principle:
http://www.globe.com.ph/prepaid/promos/g...8703623467

You write your pre-paid number there.. and then.. how do they actually get my money?
-> is it like that: you buy codes or whatever and with them you 'load' your simcard with pesos and then by sending certain sms commands you 'buy' eg 30 day unlimited internet. (?)
Better buy 2 1day cards, one globe, one smart, to see which one works better? I guess i'll do that.

Internet as i read is very bad, i guess that's just the way it is. (I hope it works ok for websites, not gonna watch videos)

ps Sorry newb question, what is FC

I was thinking about what i need and came up with:

(Don't know what happens when i get over eg 20min of telephoning, does it just stop me from doing that or do i just pay a per minute prize then)

I don't even know how this works in principle:
http://www.globe.com.ph/prepaid/promos/g...8703623467

You write your pre-paid number there.. and then.. how do they actually get my money?
-> is it like that: you buy codes or whatever and with them you 'load' your simcard with pesos and then by sending certain sms commands you 'buy' eg 30 day unlimited internet. (?)
Better buy 2 1day cards, one globe, one smart, to see which one works better? I guess i'll do that.

Internet as i read is very bad, i guess that's just the way it is. (I hope it works ok for websites, not gonna watch videos)

ps Sorry newb question, what is FC

Well it's been said, legit 8's and 9's are usually out of reach unless you're already pulling that quality back home. At least for short trips. If you're an in-shape, long-term, ex-pat with healthy finances it's a different story.

And as VP once said, "Getting rejected by a beautiful asian is often more pleasurable than fucking a regular western girl"

4am

So, my rvf buddy and i went to hyper roof club. He left early, I stayed but didn't get laid. Got 2 numbers, one most likely fake.

At the club, I joined a table with some of the most beautiful girls I've ever met. Got a number of a legit 9. I'm not exaggerating. However, couldn't pull any girl from that table even though they were all nice to me. When tried to call the 9, it said number couldn't be reached

Another girl, a 6 from a different table, volunteered to give me her number. The 8-9 table saw that, but whatever. Then the 6 left with her cock blocking sister.

I got back to the models, but they were cold, though polite.

Oddly, no other white fuck boys at that club. It was pristine. Perhaps the girls were cold because they wanted to keep it that way.

At least I'm not drunk. Have a date planned with a new girl tomorrow lunch time, another one in the evening. If the model calls or the club 9 (who is even more beautiful) responds, any pre planned dates with online sluts are getting cancelled.

Number wise, 4 lays in 6 days, quality unimpressive.

My buddy is doing much better, he'll share his thoughts if he chooses to.

Keep in mind a lot of the nightlife establishment has a roster of "bar models" that are paid to be there.

RE: The Philippines thread
Roccker ... Re phones ...

Bring an unlocked phone. I strongly recommend a 4G LTE capable one if you want to use it for data.
The difference here between 3G and LTE is dramatic.
The LTE is well short of the 42 Gbps bs claims but still quite good in most places.

When you exit the immigration at the airport you will see kiosks selling sim cards and load (credit), as they call it here. These kiosks are legit and not inflated prices.
Get the girl at the kiosk to set your phone up and show it working before you leave there.

The sims for LTE cost more, but the ongoing usage charges per Mb are the same as 3G (or 2G).

You can buy "scratchy" cards everywhere for adding load onto your sim.
Go with Globe or Smart. The 3rd smaller player is Sun, but it is owned by Smart anyway.

Where I am, around Makati, I find that the phone with LTE, set up as a wifi hotspot provides my laptop internet connection as well.

Good luck!

BTW, when you leave the cellphone kiosk, go up to the departure level and flag a white cab, then firmly insist that he turn the meter on.
Much cheaper than the yellow airport cabs down at arrivals.
