Engine driver must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. To me GE is one of the most knowledgeable persons we have on this board. He is articulate and has many years of boots on the ground in Phil. He is not a 24 x7 sex machine because he has found someone he wants as a long term partner so that's not a problem is it? ED is certainly entitled to his opinion,but I value GE's opinions and look forward to reading any posts he sends our way. Please no war of words. Just my opinion expressed here as well.

GE is a long time poster in this forum. He has posted balanced reports. His knowledge of Philippines is enormous. He has willingly helped many of the mongers with good girls he knows. He is not looking for donations but just helping guys to have fun.

And as for he is not a 24/7 sex machine it is debatable LOL.

I signed up last night. Some lady just called me and said they didn't allow any fucking devils on the site.

Good morning. This is Janine from Christian Filipina. I have seen that you just join our side. And I am so excited to welcome you and help you find a love you deserve. Please give me a call back at 904-516-8924 and ask for Janine and so happy to take your call, but worried. This call will be absolutely free. Phone number is 860 sorry 904-516-8924. Thank you. You have a great day. Talk to you soon.

So did you call Janine back? Have you met any hot Christian chicks yet?

I have now lived and worked in this country for almost 20 years and have met an enormously diverse circle of people. I have met and worked with subsistence farmers with little to no education, who struggle every day to put food on the table. I've worked with extremely intelligent and capable university professors who have earned their doctorates abroad; with engineers, with scientists, with doctors and nurses as smart and capable as any professionals I've ever known. I've worked with hugely successful business people and with those for whom operating a hot dog stand would be a challenge. I know enormously successful people here, and folks from the middle class, and those for whom life has not been kind, and throughout all of those years, and all of those experiences and acquaintances, I've yet to formulate a generalization that would accurately characterize the entire country. Yet the many of those writing here, who purport to have profound insights into this country of 7,000 + islands, hundreds of cultures and more than 100 languages appear to have it all figured out. The fact that what you say is largely nonsense doesn't appear to matter.

You are sounding like a frustrated social anthropologist. There are far better sites than ISG to share your thoughts with fellow learned professorial types. I would add that as you have lived in an expat bubble for 20 years, it is you who has lost touch with the outside world.

Your constant defence of Filipinas and Philippines won't work as you're pitching to the wrong audience. This site is for horny mongers to exchange information on how they can find and fuck Filipina prostitutes on the cheap. It's called increasing their root conversion factor (RCF) hahaha.

All the generalizations that mongers make are correct as they apply to the prostitute class which is poor, uneducated and with little chance of getting out of the slums. The women in this category are all scammers, liars and cheats as that's how they can survive. They are all as dumb as fuck in terms of worldly knowledge. Mongers need to enter knowing these facts so that they don't get scammed. Every monger is viewed as a fat, rich whale ready for the slaughter.

This is no different to the top end of town as the rich in the Philippines are also scammers, liars and cheats. The Philippines did not get its deserved reputation as one of the most corrupt countries on the planet due to the honest and ethical behavior of the educated, political and entrepreneurial classes. The very circle you claim to mix in also has no morals. I would say these people are worse human beings as they actually have choices in life.

Your socialist leanings and admiration of Obama are well documented on this site. Let mongers get on with fucking hookers without trying to turn us all woke.

I signed up last night. Some lady just called me and said they didn't allow any fucking devils on the site.
.

How do you know? Even real religious Christians worship Devil. You should call and see if it is hand holding only for a year and proposal, marriage and then sex (not naked) . Maybe just lifting the skirt while rest of her body is fully covered.

Let us know. Let us know your experience in fucking a real Christian (By the way Philippines is 98 percent Christian). LOL.

[Mr Enternational]

The only one which I think has a higher social ranking is Christian Filipina Dating. Any monger banged any hookers from that site yet? https://www.christianfilipina.com/.

And as for street smarts, most will win out over most westerners any day of the week.

Hahaha. Who is the greater fool? The uneducated pina or the "smart" westerners handing over their cash? Follow the money. 😁.

In Patts, I was chatting to a bar girl who was struggling to comprehend the rules of Connect4 but could name every vessel in the 7th Fleet and when their compliment will be in town next.

Enjoy. G.

Of course there are patterns. And to ignore them would be asinine. I have been to over 100 countries and I am not prejudice against anyone. But it is impossible to ignore the traits. Every culture has certain general characteristics. If you can not see them then maybe you have been in the midst of them too long and can not see the forest because of the trees.

We generalize all the time, and it's OK. In fact it's a survival tool. Actually the very claim that those with a certain view of the PI are biased because of "too much underbelly interaction" in AC is, in fact, a generalization. Which is fully OK, that too. Perhaps there's something to that.

I have also lived in the PI and come across a wide range of IQs. Every country has its own distribution of IQ. The thing is the Philippines' average IQ is at least 10 points lower than most Western countries and more than 15 points below Japan, Korea etc. What we see in the Philippines is largely a result of that. When you're slipping below 80, it gets harder to run even a hot dog stand well, below 70 you cannot always even serve that hot dog properly to the buyer. With an average IQ a bit below 90 (or whatever it is now) Philippines will have an ample supply of below 80/70's.

Nothing wrong with that, but it will show in how the society works. This said I think the Filipinos are masters of working with whatever resources they have. And as for street smarts, most will win out over most westerners any day of the week.

[Mr Enternational]

I think it's perfectly fine to propose ideas like "Americans are getting fatter", "Filipinos are largely uneducated," or "women prefer people-oriented jobs" and assume your reader is intelligent enough and cooperative enough to figure out what you mean. In other words, that there seems to be a pattern.

You are not running off to do business in PI the same way you would do in UK. To say that the critical thinking skills in Germany are the same as those in PI would be plain dumb. What Fortune 500 company is running over to PI getting them to engineer products and processes? None.

But there are companies running over there with tasks they are good at: telling them to follow this step by step. Just make a call to one of the call centers with a problem that is not in that book. They will either transfer you to a person in your country or you will be SOL.

Since March I have been trying to get money or credit for back from Hotelsdotcom because of a covid cancelation. The call center is in PI and for 9 months everytime I call I have been told to wait 48 hours or wait 7 more days and I will be contacted. Nobody has contacted me yet. LOL.

[Pwrmnd]

I'll play Devil's advocate here. Yes, there's probably a trend towards exaggerating how consistently stereotypes apply across individuals. And I agree that statements to the effect that all Filipinas want or do or think X are wrong. If anyone says something like that, go ahead and call them out. But is that actually happening? Mostly people on this board are just sharing their thoughts and theories on patterns they have noticed within the specific group of people they have met in a specific area in a specific context (e. G. , bargirls in Angeles).

I think it's perfectly fine to propose ideas like "Americans are getting fatter", "Filipinos are largely uneducated," or "women prefer people-oriented jobs" and assume your reader is intelligent enough and cooperative enough to figure out what you mean. In other words, that there seems to be a pattern. We can then discuss whether its true and how broadly it applies. But if you are misreading that as a blanket statement about all people when that wasn't explicitly stated, then maybe you're the one with the problem (I. E. , lack of cooperativeness).

Do you really want board members to stick to bland statements that won't offend anyone, and end with pointless disclaimers like "Disclaimer: the opinions above are just my opinions. I could be wrong. I didn't not mean to offend. They are based on my experience. I have not met all Filipinos nor have I travelled to all parts of the country. When I say that I think there's a pattern, I don't mean that it applies to all individuals. I recognize that people differ and there are exceptions. ".

Excellent, GE. You have a wealth of experience there! Nevertheless, I have learned a tremendous amount of cultural insights, particularly the mind of the Pinay, from watching you-tubers especially a a lady named Filipins Pea.

[GoodEnough]

The worst offenders are those who have only met the underbelly of society on Burgos Street or in AC. They then generalize those experiences to the rest of the country.

I agree. Generalizing about an entire set of cultures and an entire country from random encounters with bar girls doesn't offer much in the way of insight.

[FuriousGeorge]

Most profound quote ever in the history of this board? Possibly. Either way, I can't wait to get to Burgos, Angeles, and perhaps retire in the country. The charm lies in the details here.
