My first Twitch stream will be on Sunday April 29th and this date is final. I don't expect anyone to believe me anymore if I say a date, so I'll add this: If I don't have my first stream on April 29th, I'll self ban from 2+2 for a month (not gonna happen, I'm definitely streaming that day, so mark your calendars).


Trip report going blond for 3.5 months in the Philippines

I haven't been at the barber in 3.5 months - due to laziness, not because I liked the blond that much - so I've had a full 3.5 months worth of experience as a blond guy in PH. After 3.5 months it looked like this. The first day it looked like this. And before going blond it looked like this. So I've made a radical change from dark to blond hair and it's been quite the interesting experiment.

I got way more attention on the street than with dark hair, it almost felt like being in Asia for the first time all over again. However that attention for the most part didn't help with girls, it's just stares from girls and guys alike, nothing sexual but more like 'look at this alien' as I was the only blonde person in most places I went. Obviously girls were more likely to notice me, but when it came to approaching them they seemed more intimidated than with dark hair (probably because it makes me look weird and doesn't suit me at all). Would I recommend going blond to get more girls? No, unless it really suits you. Otherwise the extra attention is useless and you will just end up getting more beggars and children asking you for money.

I can't wait to get all the blond cut off but I'm glad I've made the experience.

Over the past year I've learned what jspill has been saying for a long time: in Asia it's best to just look like a normal white guy. No fancy haircut or beard, no printed shirts. Normal haircut, white or black t-shirt and keeping the rest simple work really well.

Lmao. All looking at your for thinking why the fk some guy died their hair blonde so obvious. Then probably wondered why they would choose the worst blonde colour possible.

Look way better normal colour.

Hmmm so you mean women in Asia also prefer a guy who looks normal?

I mean (and I think it's the reasoning behind jspill's advice) as a white guy in Asia you already stand out to girls even if your style is basic. If you overdress or have a breaking bad beard it gets intimidating to them.

I'm just talking about style. They seem to prefer a normal, not too fancy style.

They like anything which is remotely look good looking. To them... average is good looking if you’re white.

A guy choosing the worst blonde colour possible where it looks super obvious he dyed his hair blonde... looks ******ed whatever country you’re from

P.s apart from the colour. It’s your eyebrows which makes you look stupid as fk. If you did something to your eyebrows you might be able to pull it off

I wanted to make a radical change for the sake of the experiment. There's at least 1 blonde color that would probably have looked more ridiculous on me. Platinum blonde.

You look like a pretty decent looking normal dude with your natural hair. Stick with that.

for me you just look way healthier in the first pic, its like living in the ghetto took a toll on you, but could be just bad pics. Are you doing any exercise?

The first pic is daylight, the others aren't. I don't think there's any actual difference. The 'ghetto' isn't taking any toll on me, I'm living in a clean gated community and when walking through Pasig I've never been robbed or threatened or anything stressing me out. Pasig is poor but no ghetto.

Sex with the ex





Didn't expect the last part to work, it was my last resort.

I found the date we first met, 04/23/2017, by looking up this old post ITT. She's the 8.

The 9 was the first 9 I've seen in Philippines in over 2 months I've been here, I wish she'd text me then I'd forget my crush in an instant. So far the 8 and 6 have texted me. It's kinda funny figuring out who is who when the girls that text you each think they're the only girl you handed your number to. You got to make it look like you spontaneously wrote the note just for her.

Have you had test stream yet?

I was under impression that it's impossible to stream from Phil because of poor internet. Maybe 240p, but who watches anything under 720p60 these days.

Are you using gimbal? Don't even try without using one.

So she said she's gonna be here 1am, but at 11:50pm she suddenly tells me she's gonna be here 12am. I haven't showered or cleaned my place yet and cleaning is a 40+ minute job because last time I've had a girl over was 1.5 months ago and I literally haven't cleaned my place in 1.5 months, it was super nasty. Running out of time I just jumped into the shower, swept a huge mountain of trash under the bed and superficially swept the floor in 30 seconds before opening the door for her.

She's now unknowingly sleeping above the huge pile of trash.

LB, you have to differentiate between indoor and outdoor streams. My internet at home can handle 1080p streaming, but obviousTROLL is talking about outdoor streaming (which I would like to focus on if I have the means). 4G coverage in the Philippines is known to be very bad but I haven't tested it yet. Today or tomorrow I'll get a $1 package for 1 GB/3 days to do some speed tests while walking around.

I've seen a phone gimbal for P5,000/$100 but I don't wanna invest that much starting out. It's a very worthwhile investment though that I should get asap if the 4G internet allows streaming.

Last night I've seen Cjayride stream going into a Taiwan nightclub, I would so much love to do that, stream my first time in a non-hooker nightclub in Manila all alone, but with Filipino 4G coverage it's questionable. The 4G test results will show in the next few days.
