I think your missing the point, a side jab into the carotid with a stick as done in ponyo sumbrada exploits an open line and is followed up by a blow to the head, and the jab would be devastating with a stick, but at the same time your learning the knife lines... just like the hubud drill can be done with sticks, knives, hands, even down to elbows..it's the same basic movement patterns.
I never said you should ONLY train with sticks, just it's faster learning to start with sticks...

You said - and I quote you directly - that "IT IS the knife fighting" and I'm saying it is not. I know. I learned sticks first myself. Stick training makes a good foundation but there are knife fighting moves that aren't in stick fighting and I wouldn't go around saying that it is knife fighting. Anyway, this is way off topic doesn't belong in this forum. Let's move on.

Just read this thread in it's entirety. I have three months to spend in Asia (Dec-Mar) and I am completely sold on the Phillipines for a good portion of that time. Questions:

1. Anyone know much about surfing in the Phillipines? (Kona, looking in your direction...)
2. Is anyone planning on being there Dec, Jan, Feb?

Post: #205

Devolach,
I'm also sold on the Phillippines and I'll also be in Asia around that time (end of october to mid feb) spending most of my time in Thailand but am very tempted to spend some time in the UPI as well. I'm also interested in the answers to your questions.
Now a question to those who have been to both Thailand and the Phillippines, which one would you say has the better looking girls and in which one do the girls have the better attitude in general?
Also, safey wise, any concerns in the UPI?

Thanks in advance to your helpful replies guys.

There were definitely two or three times when I felt unsafe but in general I am a somewhat high strung person. Muggings and kidnappings are definitely a reality though, so try not to be too flashy. Regardless of how flashy you are you will be able to get laid.

I think your average Thai girl is hotter than your average Filipina. Filipinas in general are sort of skinny, shy, quiet, and very religious. Thai girls are independent and aggressive alpha females and this translates into the sack. Both types are insatiable in bed though.

Cloud 9 is the best break in PI, and the one everybody talks about. It's on an island a little north of Mindinao called Surigao. I was there in my Navy days. I think it only fires in the Summer, and that's when I was there. The barrels were huge and glassy as hell. Same with the whole Pacific side of Mindinao, but you really need to watch it there, safety wise, it's like the wild west. If they got a flight from wherever you're going straight to Surigao, maybe check it out but look into the conditions first. I'm sure you can take buses but there's no way I'd take one through Mindinao. I bet there's flights from Cebu. Be really careful about boats you take there. Take the biggest one.

Baler Bay up north in Luzon is a good spot, but again I think you're gonna miss the wave season. It's a couple hours north of Manila on the Pacific side. The water was really clean when I was there, I remember that. The waves were real slow though. It's not to far from Angeles City. You'll see all kinds of old white guys with 18 year old bargirls on little vacations, it's a hot spot for that. You can hang out at bars and make fun of them. There's girls but 99.99% of them are whores one way or another. They'll blow you just to use your mouthwash. Those beaches are nice and less populated. You don't have to worry about bacteria like in Boracay.

With you schedule here's what I would do:

Go to http://www.hawaiianair.com/. They have non-stops from HNL to NAIA 4 days a week. They always have good deals on flights to Hawaii from west coast USA also. Since it'll be December, spend a few days surfing Oahu's North Shore. It's the best waves in the world, at the best time of year and it's on your way to PI.

Aloha!

They're everywhere in Hawaii. The girl I had sex with all this weekend is Hawaii raised and has a Japanese father and Ilocano mother.

Hydro, as you can see from the girls mentioned above, they weren't born in PI.

Aloha!

I went to grad school in Hawaii, and I have a serious fetish for Hapa chicks ( Half white and half asian or something like that).

They are reputed to be good in bed there, and virtually ALL models in Japan are hapa.

Here's a sample of what I like--
http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blog...apa-ladies


Notice how long her thighs are- I don't think most Filipinas have that.

I had a Filipina GF in Hawaii, and I can attest she was hyper-orgasmic-- they're so into you that they'll just cum continuously after a while, for minutes on end until they just collapse. It was actually kind of scary. You can't tell where one orgasm starts and another ends. But I still( boy some people are never happy) didn't like having sex with her that much, because she was so childish, it was like she wasn't owning up to doing it. It's hard to explain.

When you get a white American chick to talk dirty or do some kinky stuff, she knows it's "wrong" and really gets off on that. But they are hopelessly bitchy and I'm too old to get the good-looking ones.

Now someone said most Hapas are in Manila? Could you elaborate? Also, are these chick like the supermodels of Philippines and significantly harder to get? I might have to get used to the smog if I can get them there.

If the genes mix right they have the curvier, wider hips of white chicks, they're taller, just better proportioned in general. super silky asian skin, bigger Caucasian eyes, maybe wavier hair. They CAN pick up the worse characteristics of both races , though: short, no hips, small eyes, sallow skin. IMHO I don't think a woman who's 9+ is often be under 5'6", MAYBE 5'5", because their legs won't be proportionally long enough. I have seen shorter women with [proportionally] long legs but theY're really outliers.

Jeez, I'm realizing I'm so picky I _better_ go to Philippines!

Anyone with ANY info on where and how to nail those babes plus difficulty estimates would be MOST welcome; especially age and height of guys who nailed any.

Thanks!

I agree in general with Naughty Nomad's comparison of Thai/Fil girls. Across the board, Thai girls are more consistently hot-- only slightly. In the Fils there is a much broader range of looks (thanks to hundreds of years of rape and pillaging!) so you can find girls that look very Thai, Spanish, Chinese, Latina, etc etc). The Fils has poor national diet, I think that contributes to some of the girls falling off the wagon around the age of 23/24. The country girls and rich girls tend to look good for much longer as per the Asian standard.

I believe if you are going for girls its a no-brainer-- its much easier to pull tail in the Fils. If you have a clean look and an ounce of game "good" girls with throw themselves at you. You'll also have a much broader reach in the Fils because everyone speaks English, that means the talent pool is much bigger. There is also very little competition in the Fils. At any given time, across the whole country, there are probably 50 white dudes slinging game. Compare that with the 50 million Filipinas who want to fuck them.

One anecdote: next time you are in the 'pines pick up a Cosmopolitan magazine. Unlike the US version, about 85% of the content is sexual. Now here's the kicker: about 85% of the male imagery is Caucasian.

I've lived in the Philippines for about a year now. It can't really be overstated how easy it is to get laid here by quality women.

The downside to the Philippines is that unless you are a dedicated monger or a SCUBA/Adventure enthusiast its probably the least interesting place to travel in SE Asia. Thailand/Indonesia/Vietnam/etc are all way more fun. The expats are also not nearly as cool as in the other locations. There are also ZERO western girls in the Philippines (that includes Boracay) so if you don't have yellow fever, stay at home.

Thanks Kona. Cant make it to Hawaii as Ill be coming from Morocco. But I did start my trip in Samoa which gets great pacific swell without the pricetag and crowds!

If I head to those breaks you mentioned, will I be able to find a squeeze there or should I pick one up in the bigger cities first and take her out there? Also can I buy/rent a board somewhere, cos Im going to have to part with mine here in mexico soon.

Nice story, thanks. I think the evidence on this board is now pretty convincing that UPI might be the easiest place in the world to get laid.

id say that is correct gringo. ill have to check this out soon. anyone going to the Philippines anytime soon?!??

Its the easiest place in the world to bang local chicks bar none

I am sure there are party islands in greece where drunk british chicks go or spring break spots where you can bang drunk american chicks but who the hell wants to do that?

Post: #214

I'm going to either the philipines or thailand from just before xmas - i haven't decided which yet. But this thread has definitely got me leaning more toward the pi's

Post: #215

Philippines Advantages:

-Probably cheaper than Thailand
-English speaking
-Culture similar to US (arguably also a disadvantage, my point here being that you will be able to navigate with less difficulty in general)
-Visa can be renewed pretty much indefinitely

Philippines Disadvantages:

-Awful food
-Shitty infrastructure
-Legitimately dangerous (Manila, Mindanao)
-Other SE Asian countries accessible only by plane
-Energy/utilities outrageously expensive
-You can feel the effects of a population of 80 million on a small archipelago

Thailand Advantages:

-Noticeably more developed and safe than Philippines
-Amazing Food
-A hub by land, sea, and air to many other countries in the region
-Regional economic powerhouse (if you care about networking and pursuing business opportunities)
-Muay Thai


Thailand Disadvantages:
-Less English than Philippines but you can get around
-Probably a bit more expensive
-Culture significantly different and at times a total mindfuck (may be an advantage)
-You have to leave the country every 30 days to renew your visa

The women are beautiful and enjoy foreign men equally in both of these countries so I'd say that is a tie.

All things said, I'd rather be in Thailand than the Philippines. To be fair, my experience in Thailand was in the resort island of Phuket and my experience in the Philippines was a week long binge drinking business trip to Manila. If I had done Bangkok for business and Palawan for scuba instead, my answer would probably be different.

However, certain undeniable truths are listed above - mainly in terms of language, safety, visa, logistics/travel. Things like food and women are subjective, of course, but I have never met someone who'd rather have jollibee hot dog and rice over a plate of sizzling pad thai.

If you are seeking business opportunities Thailand is significantly better as a hub as Bangkok is a juggernaut biz destination in and of itself and it is an hour from Singapore.

Thailand > Philippines (for now)

I like the break down, and I would say Thai wins out as well, if Philipines is marginally better for ease of getting laid who the fuck cares? If you have any game and style and look decent its not going to matter, plus I like good food and muay thai, and I sure dont want to get bored. Learning new languages is fun anyway.

Sounds like Living in Thailand, and taking short, occasional trips to Phillipines would be the best idea.

First off, bust out the Samoa thread!

If you do head to one of those breaks, absolutely bring a girl. You may have trouble finding one there. Do the mall searching thing, or hell just go for the bargirl who wants the least out of you, money or otherwise. You'll find tons of girls that will jump all over the opportunity to take a trip in Manila or Cebu for sure.

I would also definitely buy a board once you get there. There's no way I'd want to take one through those airports. Best bet is just look for people selling used ones. Or if you see someone surfing, offer to buy theirs. I think 1 dollar equals 40 pesos, so people will take you up.

Aloha!

Samoa is full of women as the men move to New Zealand for work. However... they haven't been too blessed in the looks department and where I was on the island of Savaii I was warned that if you didn't marry a chick after sleeping with her there would be serious trouble. Not much scope for scoring tourists either. I could probably count the amount of tourists that were on the islands on my hands. But couldn't recommend it more for a surf destination. Perfect powerful reef breaks literally ALL to yourself.

I'm 41; can pass for ~35. Should I lie about my age to younger girls in Philippines to pick them up?

Post: #223

No Giles - younger girls should be lying to you about their age.

The entire dynamic of men competing for women gets flipped on its ass. You'll see when you're there.

I would even do things like exaggerate your age and say you are 80 years old but know a really good plastic surgeon.

When I was in Manila I was rocking a nice suit all the time but would tell these girls that I am a delivery boy. Then I'd start telling them that I'm a freelance boy toy and the side and if she didnt give me any money, she wouldnt get any of my honey.

Flip the script!
