Top class sisig? That must be a typo as IMHO there is never top class sisig :D One of the more disgusting haute cuisine dishes from the Philippines...:D

I got to sort of agree with you. As I mentioned, unless it is on a hot-plate and deep fried, it is off the menu.

As for disgusting, no way mate. I think Balut takes the Top Honors, and I will never even taste it, followed by the Iliocano Soupy Chicken I had in Baguio. I couldn't get the taste from my mouth.

[SergeantRay]

What do you mean, the Philippines has no haute cuisine?

[Wicked Roger]

To be fair, I've only had it a couple times, years ago, and maybe I was just unlucky. I'm always trying to get people to be more open-minded about Filipino food, so I'll take my own advice and try it again. Any recommendations on where to get top-class sisig?

Devils 1 is correct IMHO, but I rarely go there unless my date insists she want that type of food :(

With respect Rog, most of the hard luck stories are true. Life is very tough for most people here. The problem is the dishonest ones get these stories down pat so you will never know which girl is telling the truth & 'girl' which is'nt.
This is the least of your problems.
It's when you hook up with one then your problems really start regarding two timing/cheating/lying.

Agree AV and like you am sure I have visted what the girls call 'home' and 99.9% we westerner wouild never call it that especially those with outside toilets and no flush

What I am saying here is that the scammers will start the hard luck story so early before they get to know you and even when you say "is sad etc" and maybe after I meet you etc I can help, they bombard you with stories...or worse the story changes...there is are least one I know who has had 10 mobiules stoeln, been roobed at least 7 times, was kidnapped twice by crazy relatives, had dengue twice, various illness 10+ times....let alone her family...problem for her was the story changed each day...

So the real message for you guys who do chat etc is cam with them, be nice dont be rude show respect, never send cash unless you really can afford to lose it, better still see them go see where they live and then decide.

Like some of the other mongers on the board that I know, I help certain girls, some I help with school fees, others with loads (telephone not the other kind ..well not over the internet or in a public place), find jobs (decent ones), assist when family/girl is sick.

But....all of these I trust, I have met, and seen where they live

A good mate of mine JsBach in the UAE is extremely generous and kind but he knows the girl very well. And this girl itemises the expenditure for him so he can see where the cash goes (I know the lady as well and she is wonderful and very sexy). My favourite tells me where the cash goes ...but these are not scammers as both of us have been and seen where they live and you are right AV it is pure poverty

PI is a hot pot of poverty, all over the country but you cant save the world but you can do your bit...but dont be scammed gents.

AV - you are right in that many hard luck stories are truly that and there is abject poverty (I have seen it first hand many times).... but a girl that within 5/10 mins of chat starts on about send me cash is 99% a scammer or at least comes across as one...which was the gist of my FR. That is what spoils it for genuine ones...

Marry them..why not as long as you know them, see them and over a long period of time understand what you are getting into....

I would say you are partially right
money surely doesn't flow in the rivers in Far East Asia, but how comes a high percentage of internet/cam girls have all those listed problems?
True that in a broad jobless situation one finds herself an occupation as "cam girl by paypal" or things like that.
But as high is the perentage of "poor" girls with sick parents, water buffalo etc, it is also true the scam percentage is high too.
On the other hand, when 150 $ (if not below) a month is a "decent salary, why not trying to sell body views for 10$ a session?
Definetely far less pussy wearing than being a bar girl...

Jambo, what kind of girl are you looking for? A wife?

I've had a few girls ask for money right up front or even later. So what? They want money and so do I. I also want some good lov'n.

I get what I want and they get what they want.

What do you end up with when you "weed out the players"?

I'm not trying to be confrontational, just don't know why you create these limits. If you are looking for something serious, it makes some sense. X

This is what I look for to weed out 'players':

I don't like if they are online after say, 10pm at night their time. Sure some may have a job that keeps them up late or whatever. They better have a good excuse, and if they are working, I would expect their vocabulary to be better than average.

So if the dating site shows they haven't been online in a few days, that's a plus.

I don't like if they have a PC/Laptop at home. "Cam Girls" as WR says. Where did they get the dough for a PC? I have heard sometimes they 'rent' the laptop with the intention of collecting funds as a cam girl.

I don't like if they call me "dear". Maybe its a social thing, but I don't like it so if I hear 'dear' they are off my list. If I like them I may tell them to knock it off.

If I hear "I don't have any more money for Internet cafe", I say fine, send me your cell number and I will txt you when I am in town. If I am feeling generous I may send some cell phone load at times. Certainly you will have to send load to them when you are in country, if you want to hear from them, as girls are ALWAYS out of load.

If they don't have a cell phone its kind of a plus to me. I don't mind txting their auntie when I am there. But if they said their cell phone was recently stolen, tough shit.

I don't like it if they have a cell phone with a camera. OTOH, if a fellow monger bought it for them, maybe the girl is worth a ride!

If they are working and can't come online because of their job, that's a plus to me.

Oh yeah, like WR said, "House burned down" is pretty common.

And really, for me, collecting email/phone no's and camming is largely for my entertainment and poss future hook ups. You really can pick up girls you see out shopping, working in restaurants etc.

To be fair, I've only had it a couple times, years ago, and maybe I was just unlucky. I'm always trying to get people to be more open-minded about Filipino food, so I'll take my own advice and try it again. Any recommendations on where to get top-class sisig?

The best authentic Fili food i have food is in Greenbelt 5. Feli J's on the 2nd floor or Lorenzo's Way on the ground floor.

Dont know about the Sisig because i dont know the names of everything we ate, but it was all excellent!

[Amavida]

So many ways but the ones I use to spot them (take any of the following lines and multiple them).....

What is the background of where they cam from (ie does it look like a cam girl background)
Do they speak about how they have no parents and no food and not eaten in less than 5 minutes
Do they say they are dad as grandma/pa (lola/lolo) is very sick, is dying, is dead, need go their funeral but cant as no cash
Or even the water buffalo, cow, jeepeny is knackered stories
Or whatabout, if I had extra cash I can go private and show you my susus and pussy ...or if I had my own laptop I could do whatever you wanted all the time....

So many...I let them chat away as I admire the way they try to reel you in (as GL said they 'bait' you). Some are very good but always cam as sometimes the backgroun can help you determine fairly quickly.

Am other have plenty of different ways

If you are in Manila, there is a food court in mall of Asia..i think on the third floor....you will get the best sisig with good quantity on affordable price. Always ask them to make it spicey? Sisig is good with much spice added...

There is also paddy's point, which is a very famous local hang out place for young crowd....they also make great Sisig, they generally have good food..., beer, live bands and party minded crowd and if you have game and dance...you could get lucky ;)

Good luck

The lazy chefs always end up half cooking and to add to the half cooked food, they top it with an egg cracked open that is not tempting for me ..

For me - I would check if they serve sisig on Hot plate and insist they deep fry - if they have sisig cooked I will avoid it, and skip it.

How you do this? Can you give us some hints?

And what you do after you "spot them out as a SCAMMER"?

Frankly speaking, I almost have every one of them as a SCAMMER sooner or later. Is the problem the longer chattings with these girls?

This is the reason why I am asking you for hints.

........I am able to spot them with just a glance and I rarely waste my time on a scammer. If they make it as far as my yahoo messenger, I can normaly spot them after a couple of lines.......

[Betong]

EconoTech..I'm with you ..since the only food i liked in PH is Sisig...i used to have it everyday..

[X Man]

Online sites are a waste of time?

It seems to me that several people (or someone with several hadles) who has/ have limited knowledge want to flood the message boards with ridiculous negativity.
