What are the pro's and con's of PinaLove?..

Vs other apps or vs other hookup methods?

PL provides quick access to some of the filthiest hoes on the planet who are prepared to meet you NOW! You will not get banned for asking anything: "what's the price of bareback anal?" - totally fine. They don't auto delete messages and this helps you remember who is who and where they are. For what you get, it's cheap.

Online avoids all the bar fine dramas: runners, prepaid poor performers, paying intermediaries, lady drinks etc. Price per pump is generally cheaper. Less hardened and semi pros are available. A bar may have 20 girls at work while there can be 4000 online at any one time.

You only asked about the pros. There are numerous cons to both as well!

Enjoy. G.

Interesting subject but if one is on a budget how would one keep the costs down and still be mobile?

The easiest and most effective way is to move away from the tourist / one week millionaire scene towards the long term resident one. Major savings from not staying in tourist ghettos, eating every day at Fridays, shopping only at greenbelt and chain supermarkets. Even the girls can be divided into those that target tourists and new arrivals vs those that seek the longer term residents.

Enjoy. G.

What are the pro's and con's of PinaLove?

I did have a thought that if you had several buddies that you hung out with, you could share a PinaLove account. Pick any random photo and just tell the girl you prefer to keep your image private from the internet.

Never used it though once used DIA but then I use referrals as this is the best way to go BM. Less chance of crazies and no show cuties IMHO. Once you get a reputation as a nice man albeit horny with cash the girls can refer. Worked for me for years.

Or go to a nice coffee shops, sit, look, smile and Bobs your Uncle.

What are the pro's and con's of PinaLove? If your living in the Philippines the cost per day (for a yearly fee of $120) is only 30 cents per day for unlimited messages. I've had girls who are blocked send me messages (on a free account) and I could read the message but couldn't reply. With a premium account you can also change your username which I'm guessing unblocks you if someone blocks you. What happens is after so many messages your account becomes blocked to the girls, not sure if they can read your messages and not reply or not with what I laid out before.

I've had members here say they've never used them, prefer to talk to the girls in person. And I've had members here say that once their incoming messages start to die down they delete that account, wait a month or so and then register a new account to get the interest back up. Like any of the dating apps, its all about the money to whomever set up the site. DIA is the only free site but mention any of the key words in a message and they ban you outright.

With DIA just move to direct contact as soon as possible.

With Pina love I get plenty of messages after being on there 4 years. It helps keep track of who you have chatted with. The biggest issue is the 10 minute cycle between messages on the free account. If you are in no hurry its not such an issue but if you are on the ground trying to get meetings its more of a problem. I block a lot of girls that I look at but not interested in just to cut down on who I view. You can write messages to the popular girls by sending a message to a girl who you can write to. After that either open the profile for the popular girl or refresh her page. It should then have the timer for when you can send the next message. Wait for the continue to send message and you can send a message to the popular girl. Obviously its easier to get the direct contact ASAP.

Interesting subject but if one is on a budget how would one keep the costs down and still be mobile? A place to stay is the biggest monthly cost, what would you recommend to get a nice place at a reasonable price but still pay month to month? Airbnb might be an option in some cases but there are limited low budget deals on that site since your paying both the owner of the property and airbnb their cut. Buying a motorbike would be the cheaper than renting in the long run but harder to sell if you decide to move to another country.

My last Airbnb I got for about 27 kp a month. Then I talked to the landlord and it went to 20 k a month direct with no Airbnb involvement.

I have seen bikes for sale for under 20 k as well or you can rent them here for less than 3 k p a month. If you can buy one for about the same cost per month as a rental just drive it to the airport and walk away or give it to someone as a tip.

You actually have to be on the ground to get the good deals. They are not advertised except with hand written signs posted on a pole of fence somewhere. It takes a while to find them and to even know where to look. My cost per month is around half what it was 3 years ago. Part is that I am in a province but now I shop local markets, eat local foods, live simpler. (and no longer over pay for pussy).

During the strict lockdown when it was just survival living, rent and food not much else, I was under 40 k p for a few months. You could have live in pussy for 50 k to 60 k p a month all included. I had similar costs in Indonesia and believe that you can do it in Thailand as well for in that range. Especially outside of the major cities.

Existing in the Philippines on a no bread man budget? Just drink a lot. Keep the costs down with cheap alcohol.

I get a years lease in advance so I get a good rate compared with the monthly or weekly rates (lease / Airbnb). Taxis are cheap but at times can be less flexible so I have a car (small SUV) but others I know have motorbikes (not for me, hate them even as a passenger I am very uncomfortable). Selling the bike / car. It will last as not used for super long journeys IMHO. Always find a buyer issue is the price.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I'll play the Devils Advocate and suggest you temper your excitement a little.
Living in Asia is TOTALLY different to a few weeks / months visits. You will be surprised at what changes from a highlight to a source of frustration. For this reason alone don't make any major commitments for at least the first 18/24 months. No long term leases, no buying cars, no "she's different, lets settle down".
New guys have Fresh Meat stamped on their forehead and the general population and girls instantly recognize this and add the appropriate taxes.
Spend some time to move around and see where best suits you. This is even applicable to within major cities. Not everywhere in Manila / Cebu etc is the same.
Always have an exit plan should the SHTF. Hopefully you don't need it but you don't want to be scrambling at the last moment during an emergency.
Most importantly go and enjoy!
Good luck. G.

I will second that.
I only signed two 6 month leases for my first 3 years, tried to have month to month most of the time. It was more than 2 years into it before I bought a car. I just signed my first year lease here. If not for the pandemic I would still be traveling around looking for a place to settle. I am in a place that is high on my list of finalists and so have decided to wait out the pandemic here rather than risking moving somewhere where it just may be a lot worse than here. It may be better but here is very acceptable so I will not take the risk.
I have absolutely nothing here that I am not prepared to just walk away from should the need arise. MI will never incest more in any business or scheme here that I am not prepared to lose.

Thanks for the tips. I'm actually going to travel a few places before I settle. Probably 2-3 month vacations in Brazil, Columbia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. I've already taken a few trips to Thailand and Vietnam, so I'm familiar with the monger scenes over there. I'm sure I'll need to get used to things in the Philippines, too.

I don't plan to commit to anything until my short term trips are done and I've explored all these places first so I can compare. When I do visit the Asian countries, I plan on staying a month at a time in different cities (e. G. Angeles City, Manila, Cebu, Pattaya, Phuket, BKK, Hanoi, HCMC).

I'm just super excited to be able to stop working and start living without any commitments.

Man, I'm sooooo excited about retiring at the end of this year!

Does SM mean Super Mall? How about insurance?

Man, I'm sooooo excited about retiring at the end of this year!

Average retired person here spends about 100,000 p per month.

In Manila an apartment in an SM type building, one bedroom high rise with pool etc will run you 20 to 25, furnished with another 5 for utilities, TV Internet, water and electric. In a province you can get a two bedroom house by the sea for that.

If you cook a few meals 1000 per day is more than enough for food.

So to live and eat will be between 50 k and 60 k.

On top of that add in your mongering costs, any travel etc.

Anything over $US2,000 a month is more than enough.

As time goes on you can drop those costs significantly as you become accustomed to living a more Philippine life style. You can but food from street vendors and local markets and get your food cost to 100 or so a day. Provinces are much cheaper than the cities but girls are more work to get.

During the lockdown with just staying home all the time, I was paying 20 k rent and spending about another 10 k on food a month.

Now I am spending 25 k on rent (2 bedroom on the water) about 15 k on food including restaurants, 20 k on scuba diving and getting girls for 1000 for overnights.

Of course if you want to live higher, you can spend a lot more than that in a month but 100 k can be a nice life.

[Amadeuss]

US $3500 a month will get you a nice lifestyle. $2500-3000 a month would take care of all needs.

I did a budget for living in Banifacio Global City in Manila for about $3500 a month. Rent was about $1000 a month. You can have a live-in cook-housekeeper for about $100 a month.

By todays calculation you are correct. Between 2000 to 3000, depending on your comfort level (space, location, car etc.) will do.

I did my calculation 1995:1500. -$ at that time gave a you a comfortable life. If at that time I would have calculated my needed cash, invested with an assumed of 5% annual growth by shares or funds, for a lifespan of say 30 years, an amount of about 500.000 $ would be enough.

That was 25 years ago.

If I would have done the step then -- I would be bankrupt now!

Inflation, extreme rising costs in developing countries, 1 expensive operation. Would have reduced my savings to zero.

[SinfullyKorean]

Amazing information! Thanks for the details. With the pandemic affecting travel for 2020 and probably most of 2021, I've been able to save up a lot. I think $3500 will be my comfortable spot for retiring and traveling. I still need to travel to South America (Brazil / Columbia), live in Vietnam and Thailand for a short time, too.

I'm looking forward to the end of 2021 and starting to really live the life that I want!
