RawGod, thanks this sounds interesting. 140 $ per person would be very cheap. Let´s see if some guys are interested in such kind of a deal.

scam warning!

Just a quick warning about a crazy scam we came across today:
Today me and my gf were approached by a guy claiming to be a "security guard" at our place celebrating his kids birthday and needing some cash for "ice cream".
Having read a lot about pick pocketers and various scams I was well prepared and managed so far to avoid all scams this, however caught me completely off-guard!

The guy did not wear any uniform b/c it was his "off day" but it sounded believable and I already had my wallet in my hand (stupid I know...) when my gf had the foresight to ask him where we were staying. At that point the scam fell apart and he quickly left with a smirk!

This happened at Greenwich inside robinsons in malate. Since it was inside and not out in the streets, and while we were waiting for our food, my guards were completely off!
I'm surprised that stuff like that can even happen inside presumably "secure" places. Apparently anyone can just walk into these places even w/out ordering stuff.

I guess we lucked out here, but you have to be extra careful. Stuff like this simply doesn't happen in Europe, so be always alert!

800 USD LAX to Manila roundtrip on Delta. I just dropped this on my travel thread, but since its of specific interest here, linking the thread.

(Do US guys really game in malls, even in the USA? Do you enjoy it, this soul-less setting?)

If I'm there, with a girl I like, the place is not soulless. For me what makes a place interesting is more the people who are there and my relationship with them, rather than the material surroundings. Sure a seaside patio overlooking the Mediterranean will be more romantic, but you'll be there with a spoiled first world snob, not a humble loving Filipina.

That said, you can lose on all counts. I currently work in a government institution, which attracts rather rude and hostile workers due to the high pay and low selectivity.

The physical place sucks, and an abnormally high percentage of the people do also.. lollzlzl.

This forum is the reason i went to the philippines and i'm thankful.

I have quite severe social anxiety and no game what so ever. I still couldn't fail when i went to Cebu. I went to mango square on a wednesday night and opportunities just presented themselves.

I'm 32, but i look 10 years younger. I'm blonde, quite tall and have feminine facial features. I'm a typical nice guy with low self-esteem. I'm the opposite of a alpha if you like.

Anyways, that wednesday night i had a threesome with two beautiful 21 year old girls. They kept telling me "your so gwapo" (gwapo meaning handsome) and that i looked like someone in a boy-band. Some girls yelled at me "One Direction". Quite funny.

I've never experienced anything like this in my life and the number of girls i've been with before going to the philippines can be counted on one hand.

It seems like girls in the philippines are much more open to nice guys as opposed to the cocky-alpha type, which all the girls go for here in scandinavia.

I'm back home now in denmark and i'm depressed as hell. I just wan't to go back

With you blonde hair and height you can do well in many Asian and South American countries. Don't limit yourself to just the Philippines. Also use the confidence you got from the girls in the Phils with girls where ever you are.

You could get by with a $1000 USD a month pretty easy in the Phils. Obviously the more money the better quality of life and going out you can have but you can certainly get back with a pretty decent quality of life on $1000.

That place looks sweet. I would be very interested in sharing a beach house for a month.

I'm arriving in Manila early September and staying for 7 months and if one can get by on $1,000/month as CR33Pin suggests it could be a lot longer than that.

Haven't figured out where I'll be staying yet. Trying to plan that out now by reading through the forum.

Most of my experience with the Philippines was in Davao. I spent less then a week in Manila. Manila is a little more expensive then Davao but I'm sure one can still live decent in Manila for $1000 a month. This may include things like taking jeepneys instead of cabs and not going out 4+ nights a week spending money on dinner and drinks... its certainly doable tho.

Goooz,

I am a newbie here myself and your self description does not match my own self description with two exceptions that I'll discuss later, but from my observation of this forum I must tell you that it takes balls to post the self description you posted. Practically nobody here will openly admit that they are "the opposite of alpha": the most you'll see is somebody describing themselves as "formerly a beta." The two things we have in common is that we don't think we have game and we look younger than our age. But I am much older than you and even without the benefit of the education that I am getting here I developed the ability to pick up the occasional girl "cold," in what I now realize is called day game. A guy with enough balls to post what you posted can certainly learn more game and pick up more girls in your home country as well. Hang in there!

What Cr33pin said is so true!... You have to have been in the Phils to actually understand how true it is : This country will boost your sexual confidence, big time!
Then, you can if you want move on to more challenging settings...

( But, you may also catch "yellow fever", and from that there is no return... So, as they say, beware what you wish for, you may well get it! )

$1,000 a month in Manila?
Maybe to survive, but you would have a shitty life here.

I'm having trouble understanding the value proposition in the Philippines.

-Miserably hot weather
-3rd world shithole cities
-Uninspired cuisine
-It's not that cheap.
-Some of the ugliest female specimens on the planet. (Seriously, I've seen chimps that were better looking!)

All this sacrificed for easy pussy and a confidence boost? Maybe someone can break it down for me because I really dont get it.

Post: #415

You pretty much summed it up perfectly. I would avoid the place at all cost.

Well, you're the OP. I take it you have spent alot of time in the Philippines. There must be a reason(s) aside from the obvious. Or?

Post: #417

Some people like hot weather
Shitholes can be fun, wouldn't want to live there though
The food can be nice, it's just harder to find a the better places
It's cheap as fuck, where you from? Zimbabwe slums?
Mostly personal taste. Yes there are a lot of ugly women, then don't fuck them. Seemingly limitless amounts of young, friendly, thin women and none of them are off-limit for a foreigner.

Erroneous. Manilla is more expensive than several EE capitals.

Post: #419

Really the only reason would be for the pussy paradise here in the Philippines. If you've got intermediate game and don't gave Approach Anxiety u can realistically bang 20+ girls in that one month that u wud spend in Manila

Post: #420

Philippines is a terrible, terrible place.

Very shitty place with ugliest chicks on the planet, worst infrastructure and crappy weather. Plus it is ridiculously expensive.

It sucks donkey dick. You'll regret it if you come.

Please don't come to Philippines. Please, please stay where you are and never ever come to Philippines.

This reason being : 1- You have left the country, thus ceasing to exist in their eyes. (I will start a thread on that, maybe!)

2- You have been very polite to them, thus demonstrating, as they see it, huge weakness.

I'm not a novice at dealing with Filipinos.

I may have left the country but my wife and her entire family is still there. I will be back.

Anyway, this company seems reputable. Everything else about the rental was fine. I'm going to give them a little more time to rectify the situation, and if they don't, they will regret it.

I'm in the travel/tourism business. I can direct a lot of traffic to or away from any business.

Do you think I can live on a $1000 budget if I?
- Do not go out at all
- Get a condo in Quezon City near SM North
- Only extra spending will be paying cheap dinner for girls and their taxi fare.

Post: #425

Possible? Yes.

Enjoyable or fun? No.
