from everything i read makati/the fort/greenbelt would be the best places for you to go initially and then check out the other areas and see if you could handle them

those also are the most expensive obv

if you wouldnt mind try and keep us informed of how the apartment hunt goes, what places you check out that are nice and what that arent, would be much appreciated thats not easy info to get

i never lived in manila but did a ton of research on the place (read this thread twice and asked millions of questions on this and other forums) if you want my notes which are all second hand info pm me your email

I will definitely pay it forward, thanks.

disagree i think PI come across cuter

one thing ive noticed with my 3 days of online "dating" and also when talking to a couple of non hookers from cambo through email since ive left is these azn chicks love to sit and chat online all the time, but they never ever ever say anything of substance

they just wanna say hi how are you im good and thats it, one of the girls worked at the hotel i stayed at we were pretty good friends, she quits the hotel the other day i ask why and what she is gonna do now and she just ignores the questions completely and responds with hi how are you today so i ask again and she ignores it again....... annoying


whats the point of "chatting" all day if you never say anything?

k2d..i like that middle 1...i'll buy her of ya??

did you ask her to take her clothes off yet?

Kick2dante, I've lurked in this thread on & off since about 2 years ago, but I've never posted. I remember the first time you posted asking Qs about moving there. Im not sure if you ever made it to Manila. If so, how many filipinas have you banged so far?

Those girls you posted are ugly to me (im filipino). You can find 3x better looking filipinas in person. I think e-dating in the philippines is more for serious relationship seekers and not for hooker hunting.

i had to go to cambodia to get online poker set up and since it was cheaper and i liked it there thats where ive been, all my posting about that time is in the cambodia thread


4 pinays, 8 thais, 34 cambodians


im just doing the "e-dating" to see if i can get any freebies set up beforehand, and to have found a few decent hooker options that might give me a lower price because they "know me" and "im a nice guy"

ive found one i REALLY want to get with, number is saved and i will call her first thing, but i kinda cheated in hearing about her on another board, she is a super freak and doesnt even ask for money just likes white dudes


but ya im definitely going to be out and about looking to find ones that look good in person unless im gettin freebies from DIA........

i'm in..i went to that manila place 1 time n got robbed by a scrum of kids......the place where all the poker i..makati is it?

aja malati?

So 34 cambodians, 8 thais, 4 pinays and no pics?

I am willing to bet your were drunk when you posted this

I talked a long time a go with Paul that the Manila poker skype group wasnt being used/up anymore for whatever reason.

I lived in Thailand before and such group was awesome for arranging sports activities, dinners and organizing going out etc. Brings quite a bit to a poker players life living abroad ime. Talked with Joenaes about it and we would be up for setting up something similar here if there is enough interest. or maybe such group is already running again?

if you are interested in being part of such group, say something here or pm works as well.

How safe is e-dating in PI really? From what I've read it seems like 19/20 girls are fake, scammers, huge liars, not responding or just very ugly . Is it common to lure the foreigner somewhere to drug him and clean him out? I am thinking of those that knows that you know that scams are common and they don't expect you to send money for a plane ticket or for their moms funeral so they choose plan B instead.

I am a nit and very precautious to meet people I don't know at all. Its so hard to tell what they are after when you're young and "handsome" and haven't told them what you earn or if you got much money. Wouldn't older men be an easier target? I like the idea of getting to know some girl(s) before actually meeting them. Clubbing can get long-winded sometimes...

meet them in a public place, you decide wherever you go, if she wants to go to some specific restaurant or something thats fine but dont go down a dark alley or back to her apartment, most importantly if you get her back in your hotel room watch your drink at all times, probably best not to fall asleep with her in the room tell you know her a lil better also i would think, but kicking her out after the deed in the middle of the night might make a 2nd date impossible

when i take a girl back to my room in PI i tell her beforehand that she's not allowed to use her phone in my room.

personally, i don't feel it's all that common to do the whole lure-drug-rob thing. they're much more likely to play the long con and try to get you to develop feelings for them so they can guilt you into sending regular money. it's much more reliable than robbing someone as so few people carry any cash these days. plus, conning you into sending it western union is totally legal.

they'll lie about WHY they need the money but that's their main scam. if you just refuse to send them money they'll probably leave you alone.

Lol @ "she cant use her cellphone in my room"

I think some guys drink too much coffee, which causes them to be too nitty or nervous (w/ girls, e-dating scams etc).

Lol obv don't bring 100,000 pesos in ur pocket when meeting up w these hoes. Bring little cash so when they drug you, you'll only be down 1 buy-in when you wake up.

i do the no cell phone in the room thing too if the girl is sketchy, if her partner in the scam (be it the police or some robber or whatever) cant get your hotel and room number from her then unless they were following you you should be safe


definitely something you need to do with any questionable freelancers, just tell them that if they need to call anyone to do it now (before they know where your room is) and then ask them to let you hold onto it while in the room

never had a girl say no, if she does then you probably dont wanna go with her

I believe If these girls are out to get you, they will plan to get you with or without cellphones. Scammers are smarter than that.

Im assuming your no cellphone policy only applies to hookers?

Are you scared that she might contact her partner in crime to let them know her current location? Well, before she enters your room, I would assume she had already contacted her partner in crime that she will be going to Hotel xxx, room yyy.

thats one of the reasons you meet them in a public place (the other being so if they are not who their pic says they are you can just duck out)


i havent really thought about it for DIA girls, i guess if its one you have been talking with for a long time and you really consider them a friend (do any guys really do that though?) then you could be more comfortable, but if its one where you send "hey im gonna be in manila next week wanna hang out" and she replies "576573467" then you should take some precautions

dr green can you give me the name of any good "beer houses?"


how can i find them? and please dont answer with "ask a cab driver" cuz thats like the main way to get into a bad situation*

also how much is this gonna cost at a "beer house?"

If she replies with her number quick, she's obviously a hooker. There's nothing to be scared of. It's only pussy. Just be wise when meeting up w/ them. Obv don't wear your rolex watch. Don't get drunk before her. You should know how to handle alcohol. And last but not least, instead of carrying 50k pesos, carry only 3-4k pesos. That way you have nothing to lose.

With that said, I cant wait to go back to PI sometime this yr. I miss some red-horse beer.

Im not from Manila, so I can't recommend any good places. There are plenty in Manila. When I was there, I stayed a lil bit in Ermita and Makati.

Ermita is full of women at night. Just walk into any KTV bars, bars, strip clubs. Talk to girls, have a convo, be comfortable and somewhere along the convo, tell her you wanna take her out.

In Batangas (1hr away from manila), there are beerhouses where the host lets you take out their strippers p1200-1500 for x amount of hours. Normally, the host is a gay guy. Ask him which of the girls are down to ****k. Lol He won't lie to you.

What me and my cousins would do is we'd rent a small room cottage at a beach resort (theres beaches everywhere in Batangas) to drink (cases of beer and bottles of liquor prepared) and we'd pick up girls from the strip club. These girls can be rented just for company. Some are down to ****k, some u have to work harder and spit game. Maybe have them drink some Redhorse or Empi-light (Emperador light) to loosen them up.

I remember we were at the resort, drinking, I was talking to this chick from the beerhouse. It seemed like she wasn't DTF. A few redhorse and a few laughs later, she was giving me head in the corner, next to the swimming pool and 1 hour later, I was ****kin her in bed, on the floor, in the bathroom, and every position. Bitch was a freakk. I was tired of ****iin her and she still wanted more. I told her my dick hurts lmao. The next couple of weeks, she kept hitting up my cell and wants me to take her out for free pussy.

You have to make these girls feel comfortable with you. Say things like you would say to a gf (even if u dont mean it). If you're all about business and say "no phone in my room" then her relationship with u will just be business.

ok, im not big on saying things i dont mean to them but i can sorta tweak it i think, in manila it will be all business but in angeles the place im getting is supposedly really nice and i would be surprised if im not getting freebies just because of that, or at least could get it for really cheap just so they could sleep in a nice comfy bed instead of there shared roomspaces with dirty mattresses on the floor


i fly into clark and by the time i get through immigration its gonna be like 2 am, thats when i usually wake up so im not gonna sleep that night, and im also taking that night off from boom boom........ dont really wanna get a hotel to sit in for 5 hours before i board a bus to manila so i think im gonna try and hang out at the clark airport for 5 hours watching tv/bball games ive got on my computer

if they kick me out.......... i dunno might just roam around fields and see what things are like at 5-6am there but i will have a lil cash and my laptop on me so not really wanting to go that route

or i could try and find a 3 hour short time room and be the first guy to get one solo

shiet bad times spending 5 hours in clark airport...just hope the Jamaican pasty stand is open imo

why not go play some live pokers against drunk tourists?
