Yes, again, $800 is DOABLE but that is not a standard of living MOST guys are going to be COMFORTABLE with.

I've lived in Davao for over a year. I can sit here and break down your budget and point out every area that you were skimping and every way that you hindered both your lifestyle, time, and game just to save an extra couple bucks a day.

Your housing situation is the easiest thing. For $100 to $300 more per month, you could have been living in a high end condo rather than a dingy apartelle.

Girls would automatically be more willing to visit. You'd have a pool to invite girls to. You'd be able to come and go more discreetly, which many girls are very conscious of. You'd have a nicer TV, that you could use to stream movies through your laptop and watch with girls. You'd have a Western-style bathroom. You'd have a full kitchen. You wouldn't have roach or ant problems.

This is not a personal attack, it's simply a counterpoint from another young, pretty minimalistic guy. If that's how you want to live your life, more power to you.

That doesn't mean that you weren't living on a shoestring and could have had considerably higher quality of life, game opportunities, and personal fulfillment by spending $300 to $500 more a month.

Quote:The reason I put SEA girls as 10/10 is because even conservative philippine girls I had i really high ONS close rate. Then, most of the conservative girls in other SEA countries I ran into usually didn't speak English, so they are kind of out of the question for a lot of the travelers.

Girls in SEA are not easier to one night stand than the West. Period. Also, if you met those conservative girls online, they're a lot less conservative than you actually think.

I even have them in the building where I live. EE cities? just LOL, the best girls from there are here trying a career in modeling or have been taken here after being discovered by some scout (that's the 2s and 3s you were talking about).
Not to say that every country in EE has a higher obesity rate than my country. So, next time specify better what you mean by "West".

And if you go to Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Spain ecc would you bang just 20% of the girls? Come on...

I talked about EE because I like to talk about things I know personally. I've never been to LA or SEA so I didn't talk about that but I've been (and lived) in EE lots of times so I know how things are there.
1200$ (1000€) it's not enough to live a comfortable life in EE and you know why I'm saying that? because guess what....I actually lived there. Erasmus 2013. As I said the only places where you can live with that money are Ukraine and Moldavia and probably some others shitty cities off the beaten path (ie shitholes).
For the rest you need more money if you wanna live a decent life.

P.S: please man, don't post pictures of EE's girls...you're degrading yourself...can't you bang those same girls in your native city? It's known that everybody can bang those girls in EE, he just needs to splash out some money

Whatever you're smoking, I want some

Guess what - I live in EE for years now - moved here 4 years ago. Erasmus students are not a good example of the costs necessary. Average decent wage in EE is roughly 800$. 1200$ lets you buy even property - this is long-term lifestyle. If you want to have dinner every day at a restaurant, then yes it will not be enough. But on that note, 4000$ in most Western cities won't cut it, because you will spend 3000$ on restaurants alone.

So decent is a matter of the beholder.

Milan and NYC or even LA are not cities which display the fatocalypse happening in the USA, UK and most of Western Europe. Italy is generally much better - young girls are much slimmer - Austria and Germany is not so good though and Denmark - well, times have been much better.

Fucking special low-tier Erasmus sluts is not a good sign of EE, because those are specific kind of 5s and 6s who deal with that.

Everyone can bang those girls if he splashes out some money? Good luck with that - you are the biggest Player in the world obviously, because it's not as easy as it seems.

I don't agree with you but I don't want to keep arguing about something I couldn't care less, bye.

Manila never has been a cheap place - between 2008-2012 I lived in BKK and frequently visited MNL - I felt MNL at that time was slightly more expensive than BKK. Regarding accomodation you are 100% correct: far less options than BKK resulting in higher prices. As BKK prices have dramatically increased past 3 yrs it's probably now bit more expensive than MNL.

I would not want to live in either BKK or MNL on less than 2k ( normal expat lifestyle) or 3k ( longterm party tourist). However the real fun in both places starts around 5k.

I just caught this.

What would you spend $5,000 per month on in Bangkok for "real fun"? Bottle service is cheap at all clubs. Unless you're blowing cash on cocaine and hookers I don't see what real fun requires a five grand per month or up budget in Bangkok.

Edit: Unless do you mean going to G clubs and buying bottles and buying the girls drinks? That could definitely add up quick. If that's what you mean it'd be interested in hearing how easy/hard it is to pull those girls home with you without paying them? I've seen photos going around of The Pimp and the girls are right up my alley. Thai girls with big fake tits.

I chilled with 20nation in Thailand and he was banging the hottest girl in Bangkok that I saw any farang dude with, every time I see him since then I always mention that chick in BKK.

My biggest expense was rent - I mostly had gf staying with me, so I rented bigger condos usually 2- bedroom - as I like to stay in nice places in best locations - that was already 35-40k per month.

Also I have to admit I partied a lot ( 4-5 times a week) and I am a heavy drinker. 2-3 bottles a night in different clubs, even shared with friends, a few shots and it was a 100 USD night-out- and we are not talking about hookers or cocaine.

Don't know exactly how the Pimp works as apparently it has a farang owner and the system might be slightly different to the other G-Clubs - however if you are not prepared to spent serious money ( >10k THB) it is no fun at all in those places.

Nevertheless as I said even 2-3k guarantees lots of fun in BKK.

Ah yeah, going out 4-5 times a week will definitely do it lol. Around NYE I was going out that much for a couple weeks and spent all of my cash.
