How short is your 'short vacation'?
Enjoy. G.

Short is pretty short. 3 days? I got about a week but I was hoping to get a culture fix by visiting Borobodur temples. Finding all of it together ensures time efficiency, but as you said, bars, beaches, and girls are often a hard combination.

Have you considered having fun in cebu then taking a favored girl to Alona Beach, Moalboal or Dumaguette? They are only a couple of hours away and quite nice places.

In summary: a first visit for 2 days, then just go to AC; +/- a week then go, have a look at the various options and either stay if you like it or grab someone and take her to one of the nearby beaches.

Enjoy. G.

I hadn't considered that option. My prior understanding on such arrangements has been that you ought to know the girls reasonably well before taking them to a vacation spot, lest you be stuck in a remote area with a girl who doesn't gel with you. However, I can research this option further now that you have given me a couple of new things to find out about. Just to clarify, you mean find a girl on PL for this since on-ground availability is minimal (assuming we're talking about Cebu).

Good news is that I have some time to put into PL. I tried Badoo but I think I've gotten too old now. I don't get it, hahaha! It's not structured like a normal dating site and seems Tinder-like.

But I also understand what you're saying about 'right now'. I've gotten those 'come right now' messages.

If you are of Indian appearance it's not going to be a positive but how you act will make a much bigger impact on how you are received than dark skin. It sounds as if you have that sorted. Just act the same as you have been in Pattaya etc.

Pretty much what you said. You can overcome small biases by how you carry yourself overall. Some things you can change, some you can't. See'est la vie!

Okay, so what I got was:

1) Either go to AC.

2) Or go to Cebu and then find girl and take to beach town.

3) Spend a week preferably.

On a different note, thank you Goferring for your reply. I've read your detailed posts and I appreciate you taking the time and effort to share your experience.

As expected Cebu Pacific was an hour late arriving into Cebu so it was a very late checkin to AirBnB's Trillium Residences. Cheap but one block further away from Ayala than the Quest and the Mandarin.

I wanted a sure thing so before leaving Duma, I contacted some numbers I had from a previous visit:

Ms. Coyote had experienced Venezuelan inflation levels and wanted crazy numbers. Negotiations continue but she may be lost to the dark side.

Ms Karate answered straight back saying "Sure, just message when you have checked in. " She certainly rocked my world last time so I was looking forward to meeting up again. After checkin and a quick shower, we agreed to meet at Social in Ayala. Sure enough, she was there with a cute friend looking hot as ever. Threesomes start flashing through my mind but I thought it best to leave that for later. I could tell her body was still as tight as a drum and she was showing just enough cleavage to keep my eyes wandering.

A light meal, a couple of drinks and we are back to the condo. The girlfriend makes polite conversation and then Grabs away. I go off for a freshen up (outside is as humid as hell), come back and. . . She's comatose asleep on the lounge. I wake her up and suggest sleeping in the bed but she insists she will sleep there for a little then join me later. What!! You have to be kidding!! I stay calm, just. . . . wake her up again after 30 minutes with the same suggestion. "Lateeerrrrr". Fuck!! It's looking like another bubbly fun chick has turned into a Princess Hooker..

I'll be in Cebu next wee. Care to share lady's contact info?

Hey Folks,

I've been considering a trip to SEA in mid / late September and was looking to be in Cebu. Mostly, I'm longing for a short vacation, but seeing as I was going to be in SEA, I figured I could rope in a bit of fun with girls. A buddy of mine suggested Cebu to spend some time and I figured why not. Although, I'm leaning towards going to Yogyakarta first to see the temples there

How short is your 'short vacation'? I'd agree with others that just 2 or 3 days for a first time visitor is going to be difficult to become familiar wih the scene there and you will be restricted to the point and shoot apps (tinder etc). A little longer opens up the Pina Love girls who are happy to drop around and bouncing between the higher end discos and Mango Ave beer bars.

I've been blocked so many times from DIA that I don't even bother now. Plenty available on PL to keep you busy. Some say put in pre work to get 'good girls'. Others, like me, say don't even worry about messaging until your there in town then the reliability of 'can you come over now' is much higher than 'let's meet next month'. Don't forget to have your location as Cebu City not back home.

If you are of Indian appearance it's not going to be a positive but how you act will make a much bigger impact on how you are received than dark skin. It sounds as if you have that sorted. Just act the same as you have been in Pattaya etc.

Finding girls, bars and beaches together in the Philippines is difficult. Have you considered having fun in cebu then taking a favored girl to Alona Beach, Moalboal or Dumaguette? They are only a couple of hours away and quite nice places.

In summary: a first visit for 2 days, then just go to AC; +/- a week then go, have a look at the various options and either stay if you like it or grab someone and take her to one of the nearby beaches.

Hey Folks,

I've been considering a trip to SEA in mid / late September and was looking to be in Cebu. Mostly, I'm longing for a short vacation, but seeing as I was going to be in SEA, I figured I could rope in a bit of fun with girls. A buddy of mine suggested Cebu to spend some time and I figured why not. Although, I'm leaning towards going to Yogyakarta first to see the temples there.

So, I always RTFF as much as I can. The Cebu forum is a bit light though in volume of past posts and they get 5+ years old real quick. By reading the forum, I've gathered names of bunch of hotels (Quest / Mandarin, seemingly all GF), bars (seemingly not good), the mall, restaurants, etc. The girl part is a bit lacking, haha.

Then, I read that you got to do the social networking thing. Huh, okay. I registered for DIA and promptly got banned in an hour for who knows what. I can't figure it out. Somebody sent me a message, which I wasn't even able to see but I think that triggered it. I wasn't able to register with any other number, so DIA was out.

I joined PL and I actually paid for a month, since I figured I was definitely going. Kinda pricey for just a month, but oh well. Got some interests and a couple of numbers sent to me. I figured I could try to work on it. The forum said cultivate contacts, so I'm watering the damn seeds and cultivating.

Then, I see these last couple of posts about Cebu not being for newbies, go to AC, etc. , and Bang's experience listed below. Ahh, I share that particular unfavored heritage, so that's a cross I bear. And that affects the social networking thing as well.

FWIW, I've been to Phuket and Pattaya and was never stopped at any bar and my experience / behavior tends to be a bit different. (I wanted to write a post about it but I find that it always gets argumentative, so I didn't).

Now, I'm wondering if I should do Cebu or just call it off. I really like the bars (Phuket style) where I can drink some and hang out with girls in skimpy clothes (LDs cost money but I do it if I'm going to have a good time). I understand AC is where that is found, but I also like it to be a tropical paradise with 4* hotels. Great buffets, good wifi (a man's got to work to fund these trips), etc. So, AC doesn't quite fit the bill of vacation spot, which Cebu is.

I've read your recent feedback below, but if anybody has any other tips / advice / cautions / discussion, I would appreciate that. I tend not to PM uninvited. I do always follow up and post my research / reports (it's just that I do these trips once every couple of years).

Truly, it gets so old answering the same question over and over. So, if anybody even read this wall of text: thank you!

[Bang4444]

This is so true. If I or anyone I know is in a death spiral,
..
Thanks for your honest post.

Cheers. G.

Really nice reports there Bang. I'm sorry to hear that your mongering trip didn't meet your expectations. I'm assuming that was your first time to the Philippines. ....
You are better than them. FWIW, in Asia I only ever wear shorts at the pool or gym.

Thanks Engine and G for the feedback. I had many first time success, so my expectations were high I guess. But yes, every place is different.

Looking forward to visit this place again.

Thanks.

3. I think all the girls could smell your desperation. It became a death spiral for you. The more times you missed out, the more your confidence was affected and your level of desperation just increased. The girls in the lower echelons where we mix can pick a mongers fear and desperation a mile a way. Refer to Point 1 above. Girls do not like men who are not confident.

This is so true. If I or anyone I know is in a death spiral, my recommendation is to put pride aside and fuck something, anything just to get rid of the sense of desperation that everyone can notice. Once you have regained confidence, then you can refocus upon your priority girls.

Also, a wingman, preferably one who has been there before and knows his way around, can help considerably with a first trip to a city.

Bang, don't let one so so trip deter you because once you learn the lay of the land, cebu can be a great place to have some fun. I can name numerous cities where my second and subsequent visits were much better than my first.

If your next trip is to include diving try Alona, Moalboal or Malapascua towards the end of your stay. Only a couple of hours away and they can be used as a carrot to attract the right girl (s) to join you.

Thanks for your honest post.

Cheers. G.

My score is less. Probably I relied too much on online match. I think, being an INDIAN unfavorable here little.

I think this city has sex everywhere, probably I could have spent more time in Ayala or Mango street.

<snip>

I am hoping to return here soon and fulfill the crave for wild fun in near future.

Thanks to the people of this forum here. Specially Goferring.

Enjoy and keep sharing your experience. It helps people visiting here.

Really nice reports there Bang. I'm sorry to hear that your mongering trip didn't meet your expectations. I'm assuming that was your first time to the Philippines. It takes many visits to a country before you can get the hang of it. You may have made a few basic newbie mistakes as well. I'm sure you will learn from them and get better next time.

1. Being your first trip, you should have just stuck to AC or LA Cafe. That would have got your confidence up. Quasimodo can walk into an AC bar and pick up three spinners for the whole night there. Anyone of any colour, dick size, smell or looks can get a root in AC. I've never been to Medellin, but if I did, I would just stay at the Mansion and dine in on Colombian ass. The online game in Colombia is on Facebook, but as a newbie (albeit with 35 years' of mongering experience), I wouldn't even think about it. Similarly, in Germany, a newbie would just walk into an FKK. I've been to the Philippines seven times, but only last year did I ever try online action, and that was with only WeChat and Tinder. Previously, I only ever went to bars. It takes a long time to understand the culture, the girls' motivation, the games they play etc. I wouldn't recommend dating sites for newbies because those Pinays will eat you alive. As a newbie, always take the easiest option until you understand how the game is played.

2. Cebu for a newbie can be daunting as it is geographically dispersed. Do you stay on Mactan or do you stay in Cebu? Just where do you start? You nearly got there at the Mango bars. The BF system is confusing. I think its 4 LDs, plus 5,000 PHP all inclusive for LT. You should have just paid the money and banged a hooker on successive nights!

3. I think all the girls could smell your desperation. It became a death spiral for you. The more times you missed out, the more your confidence was affected and your level of desperation just increased. The girls in the lower echelons where we mix can pick a mongers fear and desperation a mile a way. Refer to Point 1 above. Girls do not like men who are not confident.

4. You acknowledge that people with dark skin are less desirable in the Philippines. White skin is seen as pure and dark skin is seen as dirty. You can't control their thinking, but what you can control is how you portray yourself. You can come across as a confident, erudite, urbane man. Chicks love style and confidence. Walk into a bar or hotel like you own the joint. Wear expensive clothes and nice shoes to differentiate yourself from your countrymen. Believe me, in Asian countries, how you dress, how you smell and how you walk all get noticed. Leave the shorts and the Bier Bintang singlets to the fat, uneducated Aussies. You are better than them. FWIW, in Asia I only ever wear shorts at the pool or gym.

I once even asked the room service lady for help. She brought another lady for me, unfortunately she was running on her period.

Some pinalove girl, asked me monetary help for her education, but asking very high 25 K.

One nurse is interested just to meet and having breakfast.

Some pinalove ladies promised but didn't show up.

I even asked one shopkeeper lady, she was ready but waiting to close the shop. Didn't score though.

I am hoping to return here soon and fulfill the crave for wild fun in near future.

This day is planned for scuba with whale shark and diving. Started very early 3 am for Oslab. Reached there by 6 am. And finished first diving with whale shark by 7:30 am.

Wow. First Nice experience in the trip.

Afternoon scheduled for another diving at sumilon island. This is also good experience with nice corals and marine.

Started for Cebu by 2 pm and on the way stopped for tumalog waterfall. Reached at Cebu by 5 pm.

Now I got the call from first taxi guy that girl is ready. I thought of trying last time. Finally girl delivered to hotel. Average girl. Fucked her 2 times. At least something scored in this trip.

Sleep for some time and lead to airport for return.

I was surprised that airport collect 850 pesos for airport fee. Airport doesn't have good restaurants and facilities. Not sure why they are collecting money.

Anyway returned back safely without much score but good diving experience.

Hi going to Cebu soon for the first time

I was only passing thru cebu and was my first time.

Ayala mall. Reports say it's a good pick up place especially nears bos coffee. The few I saw were rough.

Mango area. A few gogo bars but I didn't venture in. Marshalls Irish bar and the sports bar above (a few girls in here), there are sw outside here and along the road, nothing special but ok, many LBs. Down osmena street there are some bars, one expat bar which is ok and there are a few sw along this street.

When I went to the ferry there seems to be loads of bars overlooking the port but this was daytime and all closed so I don't know about them.

It's a pleasant enough town but for me not that great for action.

[Goferring]

Hi going to Cebu soon for the first time but got mixed feeling as some people said Cebu is not the same like few years back. Read some reviews back few pages J Ave super club was the place to go for freelancers but was closed down last year, same as the whole mango area. Where are the freelancers disco like J Ave super now, where should I go to get some night fun? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Like every where, a lot of Cebu girls have moved online. Gogo standard to SeekingArrangement and Tinder, Beerbar standard to Pinalove, FilippinoCupid et al.

Still lots of street walking FLs and a couple of Beerbars along Mango Qve worth a look though. As Bang found below, the Gogos are fine for a drink and a perv but prices, late release times for the girls and general fuck around attitude mean they can be skipped as pick up options.

ICON is a higher end freelance option / nightclub but the girls will charge accordingly.

There are still plenty of good times and fun girls to be found in Cebu.

Enjoy. G.

Went to room. Got message from first pinalove girl that she had some health issues. She was not feeling good. On top of that she told some another story which I believed somehow. She said sorry many times. Ok. Got cancelled anyway.

Out of frustrations, I booked the scuba next day with whale shark and diving.

Sleeping. Day 2 over. Score - 0. 25 (HJ ha ha h).

Load Wechat, there are usually a few freelancers you can get quickly.

[Bang4444]

This time I didn't want to miss seafood city food. Went there by 7 pm. Very good choice. Lot of food. Had enough.

Took taxi for mango street. This taxi guy asked if we wanted some fun. I said yes. He took some places searching for girl. He also didn't find. Went to go-go bar. Girl is ready to come to hotel. But 5000 pesos for night + I have to buy some drink for them. Expensive.

Tried some anothe gogo bar, similar thing happened. Tired of searching pussy.

Got message that first taxi guy that girls will be more late.

Fuck.

Ok.

Day 2 is nicely planned with one of the pinalove profile girl, who has shown great interest. Sent private photos.

I already messaged her on day 1. She is eager to meet.

Anyway woke up and messaged. Gave her hotel details. She seems searching the place online but couldn't find it seems. I asked where she lives, she said lapu-lapu city. Ok it's 15 km. I asked to take taxi, agreed to pay the fare. She said she will manage and come in 2-3 hours. OK.

I thought to check the Ayala mall for breakfast and other things. Went to Sambhal restaurants, had food till neck and roaming in Ayala for any luck. Asked many girls, lot of them show no interest.

BTW I forgot to tell you that I am an INDIAN. We have some great repo here. Thanks to previous visitors. I hate those assholes.

Many said no, some says they are in school (OMG, it's my bad to ask. Sorry). No luck.

Thought of checking IT park. Took taxi. Taxi guys said he know some good girls (I didn't believe) he anyway shared his number.

Went to IT park. Had beer. Had cofee. Nothing happened. Thought of calling taxi guy. He said girl will meet later in 5 pm in mango street. Ok. Went to hotel.

While waiting for girls, thought of trying masssage. Went to massage in diplomat hotel. 1000 pesos. HJ and massage. Ok. Relaxed a bit.

Girls (taxi guy) got late. Another profile of pinalove wanted to come but I was not sure of quality. Anyway asked her to come to diplomat hotel. She arrived. She is old. Not beautiful. Tooth has stainss. Asked her to leave. Yeahhh 200 pesos for transportation (third time in 2 days).

Went to hotel to wait for girl promised by taxi person.

Also, kept calling the first profile who was scheduled to meet. She is not reachable, she is not replying in line. Fuck.
