Chat Rooms & Pen Pals

[PedroMorales]

Yesterday I was on DIA, and this 36 years old women sent me few messages. I politely said, I am not looking for someone this older (even though I am 58 years old).

So to my surprise she tried to introduce me her 18 years old daughter, me and her daughter Skyped for Good 1 hour, and I might have her come to Makati. Has anyone experienced this before?

36-18=18. Very even that. So she pimps her own daughter at the drop of a hat,. In a country where women are a dime a dozen. In England, there is a big sport trapping chappies looking for [CodeWord903] meat, posting catching them on FB and youtube and getting the cops to arrest them. There are hundreds of videos uploaded. One guy was caught by two different firms. It is quite incredible how people walk themselves into that or Nigerian scammers or whatever.

In your suggestion, I would make all sorts of lurid suggestions like 3 some and so on but I would have zero intention of meeting her of giving her or her mates a bead on me.

Be careful with this. The girl may not be 18. If you like better to meet them outside and discuss everything.

Good advice. Insist the youngster bring a valid ID (Voter's ID, Social Security, Postal ID). Period. If she or the mother says she doesn't have one, tell them to get one before meeting, or fish elsewhere.

One of the more frustrating things about trying to use the potential power of online dating to narrow it down to what you want. Nothing entered by the lovely ladies in the height, weight or location fields has any meaning and should generally be regarded as pure fiction. Often this is not intentional; I have personally never encountered women deliberately lying about being tall, but I have no problem believing it is a thing. Vastly common though, is a total genuine ignorance of what their basic physical specifications are. In all but the most rare cases they are just guessing. Typical exceptions include professional models and highly educated (lol) women who can use a ruler and scale. I would argue that that is a better sort criteria for whether they are in Manila or not, than is their claim that they are in Manila..

I had some free time last week so I browsed through this site again (I have a monthly m / ship).

I have mentioned how the profiles and their personal statistics are frequently inaccurate and the following narrative confirms this.

The problem is not like in the western world where they are lying, the problem is that they don't know. Location is often misrepresented but is equally often misinterpreted "Province" = what province are you from? No it doesn't darling, where are you now? Sadly the half-ass way of answering any question with whatever bullshit comes to mind, renders a lot of the potential search functionality of dating apps useless. Hilariously, searching women who have tagged themselves "tall", is about as likely to render women who have entered in their profile for whatever reason "I am not tall", and then chosen "tall" as a suggested tag (thank you Filipino Cupid.).

Tldr: at least 95% of the population honestly doesn't know their height or weight, but will give a retarded non-answer anyway. Locations is a crap shoot.

P.S. I use FC as PL is crap in the provinces, maybe it's better in Manila.

Happy holidays all.

I had some free time last week so I browsed through this site again (I have a monthly m / ship).

I have mentioned how the profiles and their personal statistics are frequently inaccurate and the following narrative confirms this.

For background, I have the search function set to Location: Manila within 30 kms, Age: 30 yo +, Height: 160 cm +, and I just said "any weight".

Found 3 attractive women; 2 were 5 ft 8 ins, one was 5 ft 7 ins. All were keen to chat and it seemed promising UNTIL I started interrogating them.

All 3 were not in Manila, despite their profile saying Manila. In fact, they were miles away. One was in Roxas City; one in Butuan, Mindanao and the 3rd was in Leyte.

None of them were tall. All 3 admitted to inflating their heights (2 were just 5 ft; one was 5 ft 2 ins). One admitted to "just guessing", but for the other 2 I suspect it was a deliberate ploy.

All said they were "So sorry" when I said they were lying in their profiles, but only one changed her profile to reflect where she actually lives and her correct height.

Just to repeat a warning I have given before about those who use chat sites (in this case, Pinalove). Ask them about their profiles early in your chat, especially "What is your actual location now?

Putting in information that will at least attract some contact (like residence in Manila and being taller than normal) seems to be a much more common mode of operation than it used to be. My m / ship expires on Dec 27 and I won't be renewing.

[Eszpresszo]

here are they getting this bullshit from and why can't they stick to mainstream communication apps?

Because your idea of mainstream might not jibe with their reality. Haven't you noticed that in Asia, the apps they use varies greatly from country to country? And with a cheap phone that they can afford, with its limited RAM they can only load so many apps now that phones come bloated with unwanted hardware, you barely have enough room to load all the apps you actually need unless you pony up for a serious phone.

Have you tried IMO yet? Its popular in the PI, its pretty light and can do video on a limited or weak Wifi, where Whatsapp will fail completely.

[Marauder]

Haha, sorry about the matches. Did you try talking to the dog for fun?

Thanks for the info, that is exactly what I needed to know.

Your phone number will not be visible in Line. It only uses it to verify the device. There is not even a way to see someone's handle after you have added them. In Thailand you can use the people nearby function but I just did it in Angeles and it gave me 2 hits: a guy and a dog.

I met a Manila chick on Tinder today and she is telling me that she only has Kakaotalk. Where are they getting this bullshit from and why can't they stick to mainstream communication apps?

[Mua Tur]

Maybe Kakaotalk is the new hot property.

Kakao is established in 2016 in Korea. Here is there vision as they said.

It's not the popular as the main stream apps are used all over the world. But to by pass the Security observation it could be used by the peoples who are not living in Korea. Mostly not in the list of the security concerns of the respective country. Just need this app in both side for inter-connectivity.

I think most often they do it as they need an app apart from their regular apps. If they have Viber with their real name and real friends then they need to install an app just for their mongering services.

FB Messenger is way too intrusive and wlil retain the names of my other FB account.

Skype I use for Business and need to be logged in my main account.

WeChat I can have multiple accounts, and it hides the other names when not logged in. Easiest for me to have multiple logins with name / password.

Viber each new login needs to be phone verified.

IMessage is way to intrusive.

Maybe Kakaotalk is the new hot property.

Hi Folks, I travel to China regularly and use Wechat. Sometimes when bored, I play with the shake feature. Today I met a Thai girl who suggested that I connect with her on Line.

I am concerned about Line, since I don't know if it will protect my identity. It asked for my phone number, but will my phone number be visible to the people I chat with? I want to remain anonymous. So I haven't signed up yet.

Also, can you use Line to actually meet people, like with Wechat Shake? Is there a better app that you might recommend?

Thanks!

I always thought it was a dumb idea to keep a chick on retainer, but that is because I assumed guys would be sending way too much. I have a buddy in Thailand that is 71 years old. He has had this chick in the province in PI for quite some time. I think he said she is 30 now. She looks damn good too. When he goes to Manila he rents a condo and she comes to stay with him. He started off sending her $11/month, graduated her to $18/month, and has now moved her up to $25/month. She saved her money and opened a clothing store back home. When he showed me the pictures it was bigger than I thought and had some pretty nice items in it. So I guess things can turn out for the best sometimes when doing a retainer deal.

I do have fun going backwards and reading various posts over time. This one was so funny thought people might like another read. Need a +1 button!

Hilarious!

This is intended as a review of a virgin's introduction to PinaLove rather than a review of possible activities in Cebu...

A great breakdown of strategy and results, definite 'Hall of Fame' review!
