Manila

[WestCoast1]

I was staying in a pretty high end place called Valero Grand Suites in Makati.

I asked the concierge and reception desk staff how to get to Divisoria street market by train, because my companion wanted to go shopping there. None of them had a clue. So we ended up taking the Jeepneys.

Lets face it guys, Phils is not know for producing rocket scientists.

From GBelt, probably 2 trains:

#1: The MRT, southwest, from the nearby Buendia station. Get off at the Taft station.

#2: Take the LRT, north, from the Taft station to the Divisoria area.

Someone else check that.

FYI. Makati-Divisoria is 2 train raids if you're coming from Gbelt, less traffic and a bit cooler than the jeeps.

Sorry to say but when I was in Manila in 2022 it was weak. I went to Dimples in Burgos St and the lineup was awful. Plan B was already closed. Then I went to Malate and it was just overpriced blue ball KTVs. I didn't even bother with LA cafe. People are saying AC is bad but its still ten times better than Manila. Plus getting around Manila is a nightmare. Public transport sucks and it took about three Jeepneys to get from Makati to Divisoria.

I must admit, Manila isn't the most tourist-friendly city. For relaxation and recreation, I would recommend Bangkok. I travel to Manila frequently for work, visiting two to three times a year.

However, I find Bangkok to be a more enjoyable city overall. The prices in Bangkok are generally more reasonable, and in my personal opinion, the women there are more attractive.

Anyone been to GPoint bar on Padre Faura recently?

Back in the day it had good food and craft beer and some singers.

Freelancers were always available in the evening.

Yuh I was there about a month ago. For brunch only as I was the the first and only customer at that time. I was watching a NFL football game in a comfortable chair. Food is good. I got the waitress' phone number. She's overweight but has giant tits and cute face. I figured she might be BJ queen as many of the chubby Pinays are! I don't know about the nighttime or freelance action.

Ya, that parts the same as before covid. Traffic is terrible.

A few months ago.

Foods is the same menu. Can you be more specific about when you were there? Things change a lot.

This scene as a whole due to lack of demand has kind of dried up. Like a self fulfilling prophecy less demand equals less supply and lower quality goods.

Less demand means that bottom feeders like the ones in the manila gogo bars have a chance at this money. When demand is high like pre covid levels the supply increases and the incentive for the hotter girls to participate is much higher. Right now we are at some twilight zone stage where you have VERY fugly women working in these establishments MAYBE 1-2 lookers per bar if that. Low demand has sent prices sky rocketing. These bars are more of a novelty than a serious mongering spot right now.

These gogo girls stink of desperation. I got quoted 4 k bar fine plus 5 k LT. I remember Manil being unreasonable like this but this is on a new level. These girls latch on to your dick in a bad uncomfortable way and demand lady drinks. Girls are not happy unless you buy 2-3 rounds of drinks for 5-6 girls. Treat you like an ATM could careless if you are having a good time. They call these drinks "lucky drinks" FOR WHO? These are unlucky drinks imo. PLEASE don't be that guy who buys drinks for ugly women let the fugly starve so they eventually leave. Keeping these extremely ugly women afloat not only dilutes our hobby as a whole it makes it so after a few hotties get barfiend the bar is left looking like a zombie apocalypse. I cannot explain how much of a difference their is in the quality of girls? I suspect they are old hangers on? Women ranging from 35-45 but will say they are in their 20's. I think you might have some luck on tinder or online sources however in the past one could always find something fuckable in and around the red light districts. Imo unless you are going to go the online route manila until further notice is a pass. Manila due to the traffic and high cost of living and super inflation in the gogo bar scene makes for a destination only for the most blue balled among us.

In the end I ended up importing one of my regulars from the province for $100 airfare and about $60 per day LT on top of accommodations and food for her fair trade imo.

Manila is totally blown the F% out.

I would just totally take a hard pass on manila as whole MAYBE MAYBE what was known as LA Cafe which I didn't hit this trip but prices at the gogo bars and now that ESDA is closed manila is just a total bust.

I can see why some were recommending resorting to online fishing as the manila scene is real dead ATM. The women are EXTREEMLY desperate in the manila bars and also look just a desperate as they act The P4 P scene as a whole is just not worth partaking in in Manila unfortunately.

If you are adventurous I had better luck with normal women and flirting with women around the city but the bar girls were a total bust ill do a more through report later on but I was unexpectedly and unpleasantly surprised at how far the manila scene has fallen.

What prices were they asking?

Shall be in Manila March 14. Please lmk if you want to monger together.

I am not ashamed to admit to using Manila Courtesans. And will next time I visit. In my case, it's all about convenience. Price is (IMO) reasonable too. Cheaper than bar fine + tip in Makati. Hopefully my fav from MC is available next trip. She is bisexual and I'm thinking of taking her with me to Burgos Street. Hoping she finds anothe bisexual girl for a REAL threesome! (Up to now, my 3 somes /4 somes have been girls on me. Minimal play with one another.).

But I digress. Those girls have some f'd up faces!

I've used MC, Smooci and others as well as going about my walks in Makati or picking up from Tagged, etc. Variety is the spice of life I always say! Sometimes the convenience of looking at a web page and picking is a lot easier if you have to be somewhere the next day, or you just simply don't want to leave the room and deal with traffic, other drunkards, etc. But then sometimes it's the thrill of the hunt! Whatever the case, just enjoy while you can and don't mess it up for the rest of us!

Wow no money at all? Sounds great!

Haha when she was leaving she started to complain about the cost of Grab back to her place, which I know is about an hour away and costs about 1200 pesos. She was also asking me if there was a Jollibee or other restaurant close by so she can grab a snack to eat on the way home. I reached into my wallet and grabbed 2 k, and said "for the Grab and a snack". Huge smile, big hug, sweet kiss, and she was on her way. So ya, she cost me about $36 LOL.
