Gonna take a wild stab in the dark here....

My point is that its considerably easier in Singapore if you are white and want the local flag especially if you are from Australia its a big advantage coz local girls like Australia and you can show them the carrot and give the stick Laugh4

Indians got it rough in a lot of countries. It seems socially acceptable to throw insults at them on pretty much every continent.

RE: 1+ years in Singapore - Datasheet
Tbh Singaporean Chinese are pretty racist in general to any non-sing Chinese, not just against Indians. They look down their nose at the Filipinos just as bad, perhaps even more so. Also Malays and pretty much every other SE Asian nationality they generally consider beneath them too. And similar to the family in the video they'll straight up come out with the most xenophobic shit to your face in casual conversation like it's common accepted fact which is perhaps the most shocking part. Hell they even hate the mainland Chinese "PRC" and they have plenty to say about the western expats "ang Mo's" in their country as well.

Google the highly popular Singaporean citizen journalism online magazine "stomp" and have a read at some of the articles about foreigners (and the comments section) you'll see what I mean

This video actually made you cry (because everywhere little children happen to instinctively distrust foreign-looking people)? Strange, because from reading your (interesting, actually, even though it's all from online game) blog, I figured you had a steely heart (I mean, going through 28 chicks a year with apparently no attachment at all, like, to none of them).

Anyway, relevant to your video, and a solution that some might, sadly, approve of: /thread-50047.html

I've got a big heart. I love humanity. I don't get attached, but I share lots of emotion. Banging lots of girls doesn't mean you can't wish for a better world Smile

RE: 1+ years in Singapore - Datasheet
Singaporean Chinese dislike mainlanders because they are rude and uneducated. They come to Singapore shouting everywhere, throwing trash, and have no manners anywhere.

I would look down on mainlanders as well if that’s the case. Taiwanese and Hong Kong people are much better received. While Chinese people in mainland often look down upon foreigners and are very patriotic.

Chinese are not as diverse and open minded as say, Brazilians or French for example.

RE: 1+ years in Singapore - Datasheet
Haha
What I mean is in terms of attitude to things like civil liberties, religion etc. French are probably too relaxed, and hence the massive amount of immigration from North Africa and Francophone Africa. You also see a lot of mixing between races. Chinese, not so much. The other thing probably is some of these countries are still catholic, so abit more relaxed in terms of immigration, no capital punishment, etc. However, if you are not French, it might be difficult trying to mix with French people as it’s very cliche the way people act. You have to learn the language and people are snobby. That is on a personal level. I would say out of all the Mandarin speaking majority countries, Singapore probably has done the best job out there, much better than HK.

RE: 1+ years in Singapore - Datasheet
Idk why anyone would bother with gaming there tbh.

Singaporean girls are the cuntiest cunts in Asia by far. In just one generation from impoverished fishing village women to entitled turbocunts who think that they're hot shit just because they were born in an ex colonial tax haven where foreigners supply and generate the vast majority of the wealth.

They have an inferiority complex towards whites though, so if you're white and willing to deal with really crass shit tests, you too can score yourself some Singapore plain Jane who thinks way too highly of herself.

RE: 1+ years in Singapore - Datasheet
This is quite a detailed and elaborate plan. It's good info but honestly i'm not sure all this is necessary. Most of the girls that I banged in SG I did nothing more than invite them over, made some food and then we would eat and play some cards or watch a movie and that was it.

A few times if the girl was apprehensive about coming over right away on our first meetup I might take her out for a drink at a bar or restaurant in Clarke Quay but nothing more.

Still, for many gentlemen who live here or need to be here for prolonged periods, we learnt to adapt and evolve to win the market.

The following guide is crafted after hours and hours of experimenting with different game techniques, tested both day and night and is what I consider to be the most comprehensive guide to gaming TOURIST girls in the world's most expensive city without burning a hole in your wallet(night game + bang below SGD100 or USD75)

Let me share my game experience over the Christmas holidays.

Date: 23,24,25th December
Time: Night
Type of Game: Cold Approaches (indirect)
Total amount spent: SGD 80
Bangs: 2


23th

Started my Christmas week by meeting up with my non-forum game friend(henceforth referred to as Tom) and Aggredor, whom I haven't seen in 1.5 years. Aggredor was already a smart looking dude when I last saw him but I see that London has transformed him. He had shed a ton of weight and is now a lean mean machine. It was good seeing old pals.

We had dinner at Tanjong Pagar before walking over to Chinatown to begin our game route. We would normally begin our night at CT around 6pm as this was the time where tourists would settle for dinner or are finishing up their sightseeing in the area. We didnt have much luck on that day and moved quickly to Lau Pa Sat, about 15min walk from CT. The place was packed but the only set available there was already being hit on! That generated a few laughs, looks like we weren't the only ones getting poon tonight!

We then continued on to the Merlion and opened a few sets that went no where, everyone seemed to have a packed itinerary that night. We set off for Clarke Quay.

Zouk is expensive and depending on the night, may or may not be worth the cover charge. On this night, we decided it wasn't. Tom was gaming a Russian model hired by the club while Aggredor and I worked a set of Chinese girls looking bored. PRC, 24 years old, working as a nurse in Singapore. We number closed but we both knew we could close them if we wanted but Aggredor was far too tired and jet lagged to do much. After getting the number of the chinese girls, we decided to call it a night.

24th


Aggredor had Christmas commitments so I met up with Tom and we ran the exact same routine. This time however, we found 2 Taiwanese girls(25 yo) at Lau Pa Sat who almost immediately invited us to join them for 'satay' dinner. A very promising sign.

After dinner, we walked to the Gardens by the Bay because they wanted to take photos. On route, Tom and I ran a couple of compliance tests to see if they were worth following. By the time we arrived at the Gardens, I was holding my girl's hand and had kissed her on her lips. This was going very well indeed.

We took the subway to Raffles Place and walked around the Victoria Theatre where we further isolated the girls and made out. It was now safe to bring them back to our apartment.

In the end, we banged them in Tom's apartment in different rooms. My girl was a 1.58m Taiwanese-Spaniard, 25, working in HsinChu as a hotel receptionist. Sweetest little thing.

25th

I had a date with PRC girl that I number closed two nights earlier outside Zouk at 2pm at Clarke Quay. I initially pushed for her to 'chill' at the pool at Tom's condo but she said it was 'weird for us to be home when it was just us' so I suggested CQ, a 5min walk from his apartment anyway.

I woke up to a text from her asking us to meet directly at his place instead because of the 'Christmas crowd.' Lol this girl was even more horny than I was.

I picked her up at the taxi stand and I knew immediately she was dressed to bang. Her bra barely covered her nipple and we got quickly into matters once we were back in the apartment.

That was how gentlemen, I got 2 bangs in 3 days.

Now, the actual layout of the plan:

This is our route and timings that we take, trial and tested, a fair bit of walking is required but we treat it as exercise in between meals:

Chinatown 6pm
Lau Pa Sat 7-8pm
Merlion 8-9pm
Altimate sky club(more on this below) 10-11pm
Clarke Quay OR your acommodation(depending on your progress)
Your Acommodation

Now this route is entirely walkable and shouldnt take more than 20mins from one destination to another. You could take the subway but when you're with a set, walking prevents state breaks. You could pick up a set at any point along the destination ladder and either follow it through or skip locations based on situations.

For Openers: We use the photo opener( Can you help take a photo of us?) and after the photo, while I check the photo quality with one girl, my wing will ask the other girl whats fun to do around here/how do we get to Altimate)

Find out immediately through conversation 1. when are they leaving 2. where do they stay 3. what are their plans for tonight. After which, say you're going to Altimate for the night for the stunning night view and casually mention its normally 40 per person but you can get them in free. Invite them to come along with you to Altimate. If they say no, push once more. If still no, thank them and move on to next set. Repeat till the fish bites the bait

Altimate is an expensive sky bar/club located in the Business District, also conveniently located 10mins walk from the Merlion. Normally it cost 40 bucks to get in but if you search "Hazel's Guestlist" on Facebook, you can find the guestlist to get in for free, both you and the girl. This is a place with a killer view and is known to be pricey. Being able to get your pair of South Korean girls who are hot but poor in is a huge DHV and after a drink and some dancing, a make out is almost guaranteed.

After you got her body temperature up, get the fuck out of the place and either back to your apartment or clarke quay if you feel she isnt ready yet.


The beauty about this approach is that it reduces the need to spend large sums of money on alcohol, meals and other useless stuff while at the same time maximizing the lay potential. There are many of you gentlemen out there with the financial ability to spend on a nights' out but I'm a young guy with limited finances so I use my greatest asset to complement my game: sheer stamina to walk and plough the route and game tourist chicks. My largest expenses from this game are my Uber rides home, everything else are on small purchases like bottled water or a slice of watermelon to keep me hydrated.

Sorry if this guide is alittle haphazard but its very difficult to put into writing and also impossible to share the countless stories that we have when running this style of game. Regardless, let me know if you have more questions regarding this. I'll be happy to help.

Hmm.. My take, I'm Australian, but not white and I did alright in Singapore on the times I've been there, I live in Taipei and go to SG for work trips from time to time. I was casually seeing a girl from SG who would come visit me in Taipei every now and then and vice-versa.
Benefits for me being I went to a university in Melbourne that many SG students go to and are familiar with and I can speak some Chinese, which to be honest doesn't mean much compared to Taipei.
It's hard to accurately gauge how I would do there longer-term compared to in SG since I'm a lot better adapted in Taiwan after living here for a while but I think after that adjustment it probably wouldn't be substantially different. Race is usually the general fallback for many when it comes to doing worse than expected but you can make up for it in other ways to compensate.

Gotta say, pretty good guide. I think the best population to target when in Singapore is definitely the foreign one. No bitch shields, no cultural limitations from back home, all cards are set for some serious game.

Since Korean girls were mentioned, as well as Lau Pa Sat/hawker center game, I would suggest the Makansutra hawker center at Esplanade: this is a renown tourist hotspot for korean/japanese tourists visiting Singapore and is crowded 24 hrs. Go with a wing and hunt the 2-3 girls-only sets.
The location is right in the middle of Marina Bay, so it can easily be re-adapted for the same strategy as above.

After so many years living here, I have to agree with this.
In general SEA girls are vapid and vain but it is quite stunning that the hottest girls in SG are completely brain dead and will only think about money and expensive gadgets. Even when you try to game them, besides thinking highly of themselves as suggested above, they will lose themselves inside those stupid mobile phones doing literally nothing.

It seems that the Five C's of Singapore are never been truer.
Quote:"Five Cs of Singapore"namely, Cash, Car, Credit card, Condominium and Country club membership – is a phrase used in Singapore to refer to materialism. It was coined as a popular observational joke about the aspirations of some Singaporeans to obtain material possessions in an effort to impress others.

Again, in my view Singapore is a premium place, however, to look for willing tourist or expat cuties...

RE: 1+ years in Singapore - Datasheet
I have read most information on Singapore here, thanks for the contributions. I have an offer to move there on a longterm contract. Based on my tourist visits, I really love the city and wouldn’t mind moving there and living in SEA for a while, but I am currently investigating whether I am getting a good deal. I am European, 29y old, single, I have a master degree in engineering from a reputable European university. The monthly salary they offer is SG$6k, with a prospect of an increase after a year and perhaps also a bonus. I am wondering whether this is sufficient for an okay lifestyle for a western guy? I can imagine that this is below what most expats earn, but it doesn’t seem I can get more than that in my industry, at least not at this point.
Can I afford living in a condo with that, and still have a relatively good lifestyle? I have seen nice HDBs, but I wonder if westerners live in those, and particularly whether girls would be willing to come to an HDB. Knowing materialism in Singapore I am not sure whether they would be impressed with a white western expat living in a state-built apartment, as probably their expectations are pretty high.
Oh, and is it easy to move between jobs as a foreigner? I am a bit disappointed with the offers I have received for jobs, as it seems that only people in the financial industry make money there. Thanks

As a 29-year old single should be no problem to find a private apartment (yes girls will think it's strange or at least unusual if you live in HDB but they might think it's ok if you are not the corporate type).

6K per month is not a lot but if you are ok with a studio in an older condo and not in the most sought after area you can find something and still live ok (no models and bottles lifestyle). Public transportation is super cheap and if you are ok taking the bus or MRT then you won't spend much money. You only pay around 5-6% income tax. Can eat super cheap at hawker centers and flights around SEA are super cheap due to abundant budget airlines (higher quality than in the west, just tight legroom).

It's super challenging nowadays to get a job in Singapore as a foreigner so if you have a chance, I would just jump on it. Looks great on your CV to have the experience in Asia.
Once you are there and have 18 months experience under your belt, you can look for another job.

I tried Tinder in SG recently. Probably 90-95% of the girls on it were hideous now - fat, ugly, etc. And that's no exaggeration. lol Even the Chinese girls on it were mostly shit tier.

Not sure if the nightlife is any better.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I have the same idea - I understand that the deal is not that great, but it would look great on CV and living in SEA would be a nice change.
But I didn’t even think about living alone, as my impression is that most people there at my age and comparable income level share the flat anyway. It is not that I cannot pay for a studio or entire flat, but so far I avoided spending more than 1/4 of my income on accommodation. And with $1500 I am not sure I can find a place to live alone. I see on propertyguru and similar websites that master bedrooms in condos go for around $1500-1800. Entire units in HDB for $2200 or more and in condos minimum $2500 up to $4000. I haven't seen many studios being on offer, but I guess in condos they are above $2000, and in HDBs non-existing. I guess that's too much for my current level of income, or people there at that income are expected to spend much more on accommodation? Not sure that spending that amount on accommodation would leave much money for savings, travel, and expensive nightlife.

I have been living in SG since 2011.
6k is really on the low end. You will have to definitely share if you dont want to live out of the way and sacrifice time commuting.

@asiaslayer , tinder in SG is dead. it died when it also died in the west, circa early 2015. you will find only the bottom of the barrel, and people here still think that tinder is an app to make "online friends" unlike other countries where it is common knowledge that it is used for a quick hookup.

Based on my tourist visits, I really love the city and wouldn’t mind moving there and living in SEA for a while, but I am currently investigating whether I am getting a good deal. I am European, 29y old, single, I have a master degree in engineering from a reputable European university. The monthly salary they offer is SG$6k, with a prospect of an increase after a year and perhaps also a bonus. I am wondering whether this is sufficient for an okay lifestyle for a western guy? I can imagine that this is below what most expats earn, but it doesn’t seem I can get more than that in my industry, at least not at this point.
Can I afford living in a condo with that, and still have a relatively good lifestyle? I have seen nice HDBs, but I wonder if westerners live in those, and particularly whether girls would be willing to come to an HDB. Knowing materialism in Singapore I am not sure whether they would be impressed with a white western expat living in a state-built apartment, as probably their expectations are pretty high.
Oh, and is it easy to move between jobs as a foreigner? I am a bit disappointed with the offers I have received for jobs, as it seems that only people in the financial industry make money there. Thanks

As a 29-year old single should be no problem to find a private apartment (yes girls will think it's strange or at least unusual if you live in HDB but they might think it's ok if you are not the corporate type).

6K per month is not a lot but if you are ok with a studio in an older condo and not in the most sought after area you can find something and still live ok (no models and bottles lifestyle). Public transportation is super cheap and if you are ok taking the bus or MRT then you won't spend much money. You only pay around 5-6% income tax. Can eat super cheap at hawker centers and flights around SEA are super cheap due to abundant budget airlines (higher quality than in the west, just tight legroom).

It's super challenging nowadays to get a job in Singapore as a foreigner so if you have a chance, I would just jump on it. Looks great on your CV to have the experience in Asia.
Once you are there and have 18 months experience under your belt, you can look for another job.

Seconded on the taking the job opportunity. It's getting VERY difficult for foreigners to land an employment pass these days, to the point that recruitment consultants don't even want to bother trying and that's at my level which is fairly senior. So I would take the role and feel out Singapore if it's somewhere for you long term.

If you like SG but the job sucks then you can still search for something better while still earning a salary. One thing I learned is you stand a better chance of getting something in contracting rather than looking for permanent roles as a foreigner. Basically every job advertised has to be open to locals only for two weeks before it gets offered to foreigners as well. Firms have to stick to strict non foreigner quotas and every job that a foreigner does the employer has to justify to the MOM why no local can do the role instead. So the odds are very much stacked against you. However locals don't want to take contract roles because they don't get paid CPF (state pension) and want something more secure, so you stand a much better chance going that route. In the end, perm roles aren't very secure anyway as you can get laid off at any time and if you're good enough the firm will want to convert you from contract to perm anyway

6k is really on the low end. You will have to definitely share if you dont want to live out of the way and sacrifice time commuting.

Yes, it seems so, but I am not sure that I can achieve more being an engineer and after just a few years of working experience. I need to research if other industries/job I can transfer to later would be more lucrative. As I mentioned earlier, it seems that only people in financial industry get a good deal, and those that are very senior in other industries. I hope I am wrong.

Is SG difficult for a guy who relied only on online game so far? I understand that it's not like other SEA countries, but I am wondering in comparison to Europe.

RE: 1+ years in Singapore - Datasheet
Unless you work for a multinational SG seems to be a bad deal either way from what I've seen.

Everything else is ethnic Chinese running businesses with a sweatshop mentality trying to con / gaslight betas and desperate south east asians into working for them for spare change so they have a few more beta bux to impress gold diggers or to spend on hookers and gambling. tard

It's really a shit show, but if you're swole, white and have a tight game, enjoy the decline...

Just don't let these girls get to you as SG girls are absolute pros at mindfucking guys into oblivion and far more dangerous than western or EE girls. They don't do cutesy sajiao to get you in line like Chinese girls but go straight for the jugular by destroying your ego until there is nothing left and you're just another work horse working for that multi million dollar apartment that she so desperately wants.

RE: 1+ years in Singapore - Datasheet
funny i got a lot more matches on Tinder in SG than in Scandinavia.went on a date with a SG girl before and she was very friendly.the chinese ones vary.the young club girls are the bitchy and annoying ones. go for the single moms or older girls above 28. these are more mature and less materialistic imo.i banged one anf made out with the other.overall singapore sucks.its too expensive and flat.

It depends on what you look like. Guys you see at parties can largely be described as corporate chumps and SG girls see you as better by default if you're white (presumed to be better in bed, more romantic, no local culture issues, easy way to citizenship in a western country etc.) and aren't shy about pursuing you at parties if you aren't an awkward guy. Can't comment on daygame.
