I will be in The Philippines soon. Can anyone recommend me "must go" or "cannot miss" places in Manila?

An ATM and a CR meet both of those, surely. Everything else is subject to your whims, fancies, biases, proclivities and appetites.

Read the board. Really.

DesiDownUnder, I suggest you to RTFF.

If you don't know what RTFF means then go to your ISG menu bar and under "Abbreviations" you will see that RTFF means Read the Fucking Forum. There are a few guys like you who want a potted answer but too lazy to look at the information already posted. There are a lot of guys who have in their ISG postings gone to a lot of effort to report their "must go" and "cannot miss" opinions. It is for you to judge and shape up your own "must go" places. And when you do go to these and other places please do provide your feedback report in this forum so it may help guys like you.

I think you could have easily handled this way better, way mor diplomatically and ultimately way more successfully. Getting upset in the Philipines serves no purpose and doesn't gain you anything.

The girls don't keep notes because there are 100's of guys all saying they will be visiting and some do some don't. They can't remember one from another, they have no need to.

She bought her uncle along, who may have been her uncle or not, as she's been stiffed before by a foreigner. Thats why...

I respectfully disagree sir!

I know the game in the Phils and I was not disappointed.

Girl 2 who showed up turned into a real blessing.

For every girl who wants to bring a friend or uncle, there is 20 that are pro's who will not bring a friend or uncle (no thanks) , but what I am looking for and found was the 5 who are non-pro's who will come alone and be the real deal.

Pics later, she will be called Girl 2. (Having real issues trying to upload pics on the website. Real sticky to do so).

Girl 2. A real keeper. Recently unemployed at Robinson's, but got a job in Makati while I was there. This girl works for a living. Does not text me like a crazy bansi every 5 minutes, awesome sense of humor and loves getting fucked. First time I came in 5 minutes and she says I was too fast. Next time I took a blue pill and after 20 minutes she says I was to long! Haha. Take that you LBFM.

My advice is if it smells (bringing uncle whatever, drama, etc) dump them as fast as you can. There is 1000 more girls out there that you will find and who will give you what you want. It just takes patience and takes going through the list to eleiminate the dumbasses.

That's what I do and every time I eventually find it.

This time it was literally girl #2, sometimes it takes me longer than that.

Often times I will fuck them and realize that this is not the girl for this trip. Move on to the next one.

This Girl 2 met me again when I returned to Manila for 3 days at the end of the trip. We did not stray far from the hotel because it had a beautiful pool and of course free wifi. Give the girl free wifi and she is happy for days on end. You are happy because you got in-house pussy on demand.

I gave Girl 2 transport on the first visit and fed her.

The 2nd visit (upon my return from around the provinces) I fed her, bought her a t-shirt and gave her 2000p to buy a new cord for her iphone.

Seriously, we go to Robinsons and I tell her to buy whatever she wants.

She picks a 600p t-shirt! I love this girl.

Not very much outlay for happy, non-drama days in Manila.

As we know, everything else about Manila sucks.

Guys,

Jumped into a cab in Makati on Monday night, heading for Manila Bay Cafe. The taxi driver suggested he take me to a private apartment- "fresh girls from the provinces", and since I was looking for a girl LT, and it was already 11:30 pm I agreed. After a 10 minute drive across Makati, we stopped in front of an anonymous apartment. Inside there were about 30. 40 girls, definitely all well seasoned pros. I found one I liked and took her back to the hotel- probably in her early 30s, had a couple of kids, but very good in the sack- no complaints.

The cab driver asked PHP 4, 000 LT, which was crazy, I bargained the uncle down to 3, 000, probably still too much- anyone know the right price?

Thanks,

Friendly

3000 is fine all in.

Actually it's pretty good.

If you got her at 2500 or 2000 still need to tip her at least 1000.

If you work the price down too much you might have to tip the boys working there too.

I can only repeat that filipinas and pinoys that have been professional colleagues of mine are always very punctual. I understand from acquaintances who employ filipinos in Australia and NZ that they are indeed among the MOST reliable employees regarding punctuality and ability to work as directed.

The pinays that I have met all over the Philippines for various nefarious activities unrelated to work are totally unreliable about time and are the frequent topic of posts here (many exasperated versions of which I have posted). I don't think this behavior can be analysed or categorised by anthropologists, because there is a certain group who can be (are) very reliable.

Concur. When pinay want to be on time, they are on time (or even hours early). I would guess that 99% of Filipino that have purchased a cap and gown are on time for their college graduation. That "time-challenged" trait seems to me (correct me if I'm wrong) to be ingrained in many of the places the spaniards conquered (the latin-americas) where I've visited, not just pilipines. However, the idea that pinoy "can't be on time", or that "you can't overcome their culture" (have been told that on this board and especially in PM, on other boards, in emails and by numerous gents sitting in places like Kokomo's and MBC / LAC) , might be incorrect. Their culture is not to be late. Nor to be on time. Its a dichotomous issue. For some events they are late, and other events they will specifically be on time (or early). I'm not necessarily good at stating which events, but I'm good at stating one of those events: spending time with me. I have a method (not stated here, the method brings out harsh opinions) which has reduced tardiness in returnees to almost zero, and cut way down on tardiness from first-time girls.

I had exactly the same experience on two occasions, same price, same impression of the girls. I was taken to single-story buildings a five minute drive (in the middle of the night with no traffic) into the low-build areas behind the EDSA complex. For me other options remain more attractive.

I can second that RK having worked with, employed and been the boss of a few pinoys / pinays over the years. Some I speak to about this 'Filipino time' issue are equally annoyed at their fellow countrymen tardiness saying "they would never survive in my company if they were that late"

So is it the water in the country that makes them change here? Is it that we keep them (pinays only) in bed longer letting them enjoy foreign sausages (as the regular hot dog can be boring) another reason? Whatever it is in this country many have no concept of time but when they work in another country and their salary depends on it etc they are able to adapt.

CS congratulations, I have also have some that are punctual but that is only after a few years of 'training' and 'carrot and stick', but it is nice to see and experience at times (unless the earlier girl is still with you still eating the sausage.

I will say that I have come across my first truly punctual Filipina. I have now met her half a dozen times and she has yet to be even a minute late. In fact, she is often early and sits patiently in a nearby Seven Eleven or Mini Stop waiting for me. I don't know how she does it but she does and she is the shining exception that proves the rule.

That's good for you CS that you have "come across" her (insert snigger here) given that she is only a part-time "employee" of yours so she obviously relishes her career prospects.

Readers of this board are looking for short, sharp, easily understood descriptions of things that they will encounter. I will remember not to interpolate any of your future posts lest I stimulate a series of long-winded ripostes.

Matters not RK. Some, not many, members may be interested in academic debate relating to the Pinay psyche and will read through the posts. The rest will skim or ignore.

3000 isn't too bad all-in for Makati if there's no barfine etc (when compared to Burgos). Care to share / PM the location?

I always tell GE direct if I disagree with anything he says since we meet virtually every week because our offices are close.

SK. This is not a forum for academic debate.

Put very simply, pinays will be late so learn to live with it and all the crazy excuse that go with them being late. They can't tell you 'bad news' so try to sugar coat everything (someone maybe RK said because their diet are soap operas). Trying to understand why etc is something men IMHO are not good at even with western women.

So, however interesting all these books and thesis are / maybe the plain fact is they will be late so plan for it. And if by some remarkable chance they are on time or early make sure you have DNAed the bed after the last girl (or have her leave by a different exit LOL).
