Jackson, This is a great development. Cebu is such a wonderful mongering city.

If you are coming here for less than a month head to the mango bars on your first night and do a bar hop they start 9 pm and you should start 9 pm, as the good bars fill up quick. Talk to the mamasan and tell her what type of girl you like (yes she will ask for a ladies drink). Some times they are still out the back or absent that night. Keep doing this until you find what you want. I take the first girl I find and take her to a few more bars. Buy the girl 1 or 2 ladies drink and ask her what she will do for you, I rather her tell me what she will do she is a pro , if she is too shy you should find another girl. they do not get better once you leave the bar . You really need to do a bar hop in Cebu. I also ask the girl what bar she wants to go to as there are always new bars or old ones changing. They seem to get the New and hot girls as news get out fast they are hiring. Barfines start at 1700 and then 4000 to arena at 8000
The malls can be a mine field as some girls are ex bar who fail higyne or are desperate for cash and are banned from bars due to other problems. There are also new girls there to make some money. You will see them in pairs often you need to watch to make sure they are working. If a lady boy approaches you say you only want girls, they may help you to find a girl they know working the malls, do not give them any money unless they help you this is only valid for lady boys as they will rob you blind. This advice also applies for the discos in mango square. Disco are a bit like the malls but after the bars close you can meet working girls who did not get ewr. But I would tell you to go there with a girl as they are hit and miss. For me the girl sence in Cebu requires time and effort. So never come here less than 2 days. Stay in Cebu and forget about pussy at the beaches. Unless you find a girl in the city to go with you stay in town. Mall and disco girls start from 500 the most I paid is 1000.
Down town is a better experience if you know some one living here to show you around even some the locals avoid downtown. But if you know some one it is worth a look.
When meeting a girl from a online dating site do not expect her on time or offer to pay her taxi, you will spend time just waiting and some times they will never turn up, or turn up when you are leaving to meet your next.
Do not lie to the girls here tell them what you are after, some will even introduce you to a friend that matches your need. Also know that people here live peso to peso so always offer taxi money 50-200 peso once they turn up, if they ask tell them to borrow the jeepney fare, when you meet them ask them what jeepney they took. There is a saying here "only rich foreigners and prostitutes take the taxi"
This is based on my 5 years of living here, I get new girls every month.
After spending the evening with Frenzy last night (he is very knowledgeable about the local society and I highly recommend getting touch with him for his interesting perspective) I went to the Mango bars at around 11pm. There was no need to get there early (except that maybe some of the hotter women may have been taken). Most of the bars were pretty empty and I stuck my head into every one of them. I got a chuckle in one where there was one customer (with 2 women) who beckoned me to stay as he saw me walking out. I understand the feeling when you are the only customer in the place.

I have been visiting Cebu on sporadic intervals for 15 years now (I live in Manila) , and I have never lucked out in Cebu. I have used DIA, mall meetings, bars on Mango and nearby to Mango (eg old Silver Dollar and Lone Star) and if one fails the other comes through.
I have posted on several mall meetings here (over the past 2 years) and I agree with Frenzy that there are potential pitfalls but the last 2 encounters that I have had have turned out to be exceptional (both were bored horny housewives looking for a few hours of fun while hubby was at work or, in one case, overseas working).
I must admit I have never tried the discos at the top of Mango (for example, Julianas (name now changed) but I have been to Pump near Ayala and my wing man found a prize but I saw nothing that appealed so I moved on to a bar for the final stanza. I will be returning soon so I will post some updates on my favorite places.
RK, where I come from in the Midwest of US of A,"luck out" means to be lucky. We even verb the noun as in "I lucked out". Oh, us funny Americans. It sounds like you are using it the opposite way. I've never heard "luck in", but I will try it if I ever make it back to the land of extraordinarily boring and unsual politics. X.

A girl I picked up before in the Mango area approached me as I was walking back to my room after dinner. My previous experience with her was great and I was certainly willing to have a session with her again, but tonight I was just too damn tired. I've had a recurring sinus infection and tonight it was draining all my energy. After kindly explaining why I couldn't see her tonite, she then goes 'ohh, Riverman, I'm hungy please just give me 50 pesos. ' It surprised me she did this, because last time she seemed like a pretty nice chick, and not a beggar type. I guess the street is burning her out.
I'm wondering what you guys think about this situation. Personally, I hate being hit up like that, for several reasons. 1) if I don't partake, I don't want to give anything 2) I don't want a strictly P4P provider to get accustomed to successfully hitting me up for free money 3) I don't like pulling out and handing over money on the street. 4) I frequent the mango / fuente area a lot, and don't want the denizens there to consider me a mark for begging, etc. 5) I just plain find it irritating.
After my polite refusal, she got rather nasty and we parted less than friends. I am curious to the thoughts of you guys on this subject. Any better way to deal with this situation? Anyone?

Anyone?[/QUOTE]Your reaction and reasons are understandable. But at the same time. 50 pesos is not going to break you and it could make you feel as though you had done something nice for a girl with whom you had been close. Understandable that you don't want to be seen giving money on the street. You could take her into an eating establishment and pay them for her meal. Then, if you are not hungry or don't have time, just leave and tell her not to make a habit of it.
Maybe I'm a sucker, but I have a lot of sympathy for these people. They are, after all, poor and we are much more fortunate than they are. I know we can't be used as cash machines. But (especially if you know someone) , how much can it hurt you to help them to a meal? To me, you have to have a conscience and not just treat the place as your personal playground of prostitutes.

Both sides here have some good points. Recently I gave a few hundred pesos to a girl I knew only vaugely."to buy chicken".
A few days later she came over and was quite generous in her own dirty little way. Bless her heart.
On the other hand you don't want to be pulling out your wallet on that stretch of Mango. And that's probably what you would have to do. I don't know about the rest of you, but my change is left with the waitresses. I'm not going to have 50peso in coin in my pocket. THe gal was probably counting on the fact that you would have only 100 peso bills. Furthermore, the fact that she got nasty is a good indication that she's bad news.
Speaking of street girls, I picked up a real cutie on Mango back in January. Back in the room she tells me to lay the money on the table. At first I was confused, but she says that's the street girl custom. Hmmm, first there is an indication that she doesn't trust me, second she's giving me orders and if I obey she'll think she's in charge, and third, if I put money down she knows where my wallet is. I threw here out. X.

Another interesting phrase us Aussies use is "I couldn't care less" when we are talking about "not giving a shit". It seems to me that many guys (I bet they are our Yank brothers again) who say "I could care less". They are supposed to mean the same but they are different.

"Good girl gone bad"? WTF? All she did was ask you for 50 pesos for food? Does that make her "bad"? You had a gross over reaction River. You made an enemy out of a "good" Mango street girl because she asked you for 50 pesos. If she was an unknown beggar then maybe I could understand you dismissing her but you said you already know her and like her.
I don't think I would enjoy having a beer with you if you get so wound up over such a trivial thing. The sky would not fall on you if you had given her 50 php, but it just might fall on you now late one night because you didn't, and when you are least expecting it.
Oops. What happened to Cebu Forum categories that we had yesterday like Cebu Hotels, Cebu restaurants, General info etc. I was pretty doped yesterday and set out a time today to read all info due to my arrival in Cebu and bummer, Now I only see Cebu Forum thread no sub categories or is it just me and my browser acting up? Thanks
----
Never mind...FYI..The Cebu Forum link from The Philippines thread won't bring you to the main page of Cebu Forum...For that you have to go to
The Main Page >> Asia >> The Philippines - Cebu
I think there is a link issue there....I had bookmarked the Philippines page and opened it ...so couldn't see the sub categories of Cebu Forum..thanks
Jackson,
Thanks for creating a new sub-forum for Cebu, much appreciated!
Can I make a few small suggestions. Can you transfer the recent posts on this newly created 'Cebu Forum' link and paste them in the 'Cebu General Information' thread and lock this thread? After this thread progresses a few pages your original post which contains the link to the Cebu section will become buried.
The original thread has 6200+ posts and this new thread assumes the same function as the older one thus creating two threads about the same topic. Some guys are already confused and this would just streamline and keep all the general topic posts together on one thread.
Can you transfer posts (#345 through #355) on the 'Cebu Hotels' thread and paste them in the newly created 'Buying-Owning-Renting Property in Cebu' section as the topic deals with condo ownership.
I know you are busy sorry for the disturbance. I tried to PM you my thoughts but your inbox is full.
Thanks once again.
Speaking of "gross over reaction", see'mon RK. You're almost threatening the guy!
He was feeling ill, the gal was a street girl making an unexpected and unusual request (in a dodgy area) , and she got rude when she didn't get the money. We weren't there and we don't know the whole story. In the end, it's his 50 pesos, his time, his security, his holiday.
My advice to anyone is to follow your gut feelings. If you are in the third world and you start to get bad vibes, try to move on or away from whatever caused those vibes. If you feel guilty the next day about the 50 pesos, contact RK. I'm sure he can provide a list of charities.

Some mongers have a strict don't feed the street meat policy. Perhaps they think hungry girls are more eager to fuck for pesos and will maintain that much sought after spinner figure. Others consider giving the girls pesos for anything other than a fuck to be the equivalent of feeding strays and worry about being mobbed by other aggressive beggars or making the girls lazy. The sad reality is the girls sell puss out of desperation and a lot of mongers intend to keep them as desperate as possible to exert maximum leverage.
