Makati

[Locamotive]

Hey, will be visiting Manila for 4 days on a work trip- staying at a good hotel in Makati.

Won't have too much time running around bars trying to find some good girls. Has anyone tried tinder / tan tan and other apps where I can just ask girls to come directly to my room?

Any lick on these apps?

As a few others have said, online you will be wasting more time or looking in malls or whatever. I usually go for 2 weeks and I've been coming for years, I still use bars. One, you see exactly what you are getting, no guessing as does she really look like her pics. Two, you can feel out her personality in short order after a drink or two. Can she still fool you in the room, sure, but the chances of her being a dud vs online are much less. I arrive on my flight from US usually around 9 pm and check in at hotel and hit the bars. 99% of the time I'm getting me BJ back in room by midnight. You got 4 days, bars are a no brainer.

Actually SG, I would think it would be the opposite. One doesn't need to run around bars looking for a good one. You can find such in Maison, Lips, Plan Bee, or V-8. All of those have acceptable girls (and some less so). You just need one girl. In the first bar you go into, buy the mama a drink and tell her exactly what you're looking for. She will point out several girls who can fulfill you desires. You could be out of the bar in 15 minutes on the way to your hotel (or the short-time Sogo around the corner). Cost for the LT: About $200 USD. This type of pull-the-trigger barfine can be fast. A lot of gents prefer the slow-perv bar crawl thru the night, which is fun and builds anticipation, but isn't necessary.

Goferring or other, weigh in on the timeframe for getting Tinder-type girls to your hotel. The Tinder process requires vetting and video calls to assure that the girl you are chatting with to come to your hotel is really the girl in the profile. Cost will be less.

Others have mentioned tantan and pina love Subscribe to the premium. You will get quicker responses.

I've mentioned my MO before.

I always tip the bell hop, the housekeepers and especially the security Tip generously. You will have their "friend" at your room within 1 hour.

I've recently had most success with Tan Tan. I use the free version where you can chat if you match. Be aware that ladyboys match with all guys so always ask if they are a girl.

I just used Pinalove, free member. The keyword seems to put on your profile or put in message to girls that you're looking for fun. That is keyword that tends to be used. You should get plenty of semi-pros to pros that will jump out to come meet you. It isn't hard, even if you got no game.

Bars report. Bourbon is completely out of the chica business. It is a full-on live band resto / bar, same as Cubana Cafe. A marquee outside lists the bands for each night of the week. Clientelle is almost completely made up, at any given table, of 1 or more foreigners there with either his pinay asawa, or tonight's date (tinder, gogo girl, etc). I went in several times with a girl for food and drink, and only 1 time was there another customer there younger than me. Also I didn't hear any songs in Filipino. Bands were pretty good, its classic rock. The place is fairly full by 9 pm (its possible that the geriatric crowd must be in bed by 11 pm). Rum / coke was p380, beer 160.

Alibi (next door to the old Mixed Nuts, in the direction of the old Jools). Previously a gogo bar, was remodeled late last year. Where previously was a dancing stage with 3 stripper poles, the poles are gone and the stage houses disco and loudspeakers for live band. Several nights a week is live band, otherwise disco. I poked my head in most nights just to see what was happening. When the disco guy on stage was going great guns, there were no customers. When there was live band, there were either no customers, or 2-3 customers. I stopped in several times with a date or alone to listen to the band. Its classic rock, and when there are other customers there its mostly grey haired gringos. One evening there it appeared to be an older all-gringo band. The singer had a really good voice. He was joined on stage a bit later by another old gringo singer. They were very talented. Surprised its still in biz given the low number of customers. Beer p150 (+15 service charge = 165). Bottle water p100.

I forgot to mention Alley 8 hotel has a resto / bar next door. Think its called Vice (location Durban St corner Ebro St). Has live band nightly, booze and pulutans. Think my rum / coke was p150. The pic shows an old Google map pic from Covid times. The site has been under construction where the arrow is, and is clean and well-run.

Shooters restobar is back in biz. Its the resto at the base of Red Planet hotel in Makati. Some pics from the outside, including menu items. Still has pool tables.

I told the manager he should start serving gumbo and fried oysters catfish the whole thing. He said they were looking into it. That place has potential to be a cool place to eat and bring chicks if they overhaul the menu and get rid of that disgusting Philippine food.

A little help. Which place were you referring to?

Bourbon New Orleans.

Yes, and no. Almost all of the foreigners there are white, and they are rarely without their asawa. Keeping some pinoy foods on the menu, especially pulutans (snacks, or smaller-portion standard foods like sisig, chicken skin, french fries) for the pinoy segment. But yes, beefing up the western items might be a great idea (especially seafood). Why not? Cubana cafe has a large eclectic menu.

I've left a bar with girl (s) many times without discussing prices. There are a few prerequisites:


P.S. For clarity, if we are confining the discussion only to Burgos, I don't think I've ever left there without clarifying expectations. If I lived in town, the above would still hold.

G.

Almost every girl I've picked up online there was like that. Never an upfront negotiation over pricing, but always willing to accept "taxi" money, which I always give.

[Goferring]

Sorry SL I didn't reply to this sooner. The idea that the girl will discuss with you later in the room her fee is novel to me. However there is nothing wrong with that. I also imagine that girls who are new to the bar might also feel shy to discuss this in the bar (at first). Other gents weigh in. Glad it worked well for you.

I've left a bar with girl (s) many times without discussing prices. There are a few prerequisites:

1/. My face is known in the bar.

2/. Occasionally, my target will ask other girls, who I have taken before, for a reference check.

3/. I don't speak tagalog nor bisaya but elsewhere, I can use the local language so as soon as I open my mouth it's clear that I've played the game before.

4/. In the bar, I'm not afraid to spend a few bucks to have a good time. Again, it's obvious that I know the game and am not going to suddenly expect her to be a freebie.

This also applies online where many girls don't want to be labelled but won't refuse a "gift" when leaving.

Enjoy. G.

You must have had too many rums and cokes Westy. The most famous two name bar on Burgos is 'Plan be & Kojax'. Like they couldn't decide which famous prepandemic bar to names themselves after, so they took two.

I may have given away my secrets. Like what kind of drinks I like. Or girls I like. Thinking-while-drinking is not my strong point.

Burgos report. Spent 3 weeks there recently, prior to the blessed Christmas. As we got to the 5-6 days prior to noche buena (NB), things thinned out. Traffic got lighter all-around, foot traffic on Burgos (customers) thinned out, and gogo girl numbers started to slowly drop (from the normal 100%, down to about 60% on NB). I only hit a few bars for a drink or two for perving purposes. Most nights I didn't hit the bars, and on nights where I did go hopping, it was 2 drinks in one bar, or 1-2 drink each two bars (an hour and out).

Street action. Moving towards NB, the number of girls of all looks (hot-to-not), ages, skank rating (to include tatoos and missing teeth), and bakla increased nightly. The night before NB is typically one of the largest numbers of girls, while typically the smallest number of fellas. The desperation increased, and while I didn't get an initial-price drop, I quickly got counter-offers of big price drops. For instance if a girl said p3000 initially, and I countered with 1000, she'd counter with 1500 (skipping 2500 and 2000). It was easy pickin's at the time.

Par Avion / Nautica. The only bar with 2 names, and nobody working there can explain why. 14 girls, 22 girls, and about 20 girls another night (different nights). On the night with 14 girls, there were 10 spinners and 4 chubs. Only 1 chub was booby, the other 3 were flatties with junk in all the other wrong places. Of the spinners, all were flatties with tight flat tummies and good asses. All were aged 30 or less and I would have done any of the spinners. P350 for rum / coke, p160 for beer.

My understanding of it is that Nautika is on ground floor, Lollipop on 1st floor and Par Avion on 2nd floor. Not sure how they are interlinked, but you can definitely take girls from Nautika to Lollipop if you want to. Only been in Par Avion once, it was not a Gogo.
