This I wonder why he posts on the Philippine board when he hates the country so much and feeds other trolls, is basically disrespectful to most (apart from fellow haters). And he never posts a photo in PG been if he says he has been there.

But generally, we read and ignore unless something really needs to be said. I have some who ignore me, and I don't care but as you said sometimes my quotes pop up LOL.

I agree that I shouldn't have stooped to slinging criticism at CM. I had been away from the forum for more than a month and had just read some of his sweeping generalizations in the AC thread about Filipina lying and leeching. I confess, he hooked me. I suspect he will be pleased to read this confession. RK advised me several year ago to put him on ignore. I tried that, but then his posts were consistently being quoted by you and others, so I couldn't get away from them. One of many moments of weakness on my part.
By the same token, it appears I hooked you. And why, in the same vein, do you drag GE into this? I assume he's in Davao minding his own business and knows enough not to join this conversation.
You a pleb? I don't think so. Didn't you post some stuff a few months ago to the effect that you were a successful businessman who could afford alternatives to the cut-rate p4 ps that most cheap Charlies pursue?

Greetings to all,
I have been chatting with some Filipinas and I am starting to think that living in Philippines must be like living in pussyfooted heaven.
I know the coronavirus impact is huge. Many lovely girls seem very desperate even for food. I'm sure some are scamming but I know they aren't out there buying clothes or perfume. And they are t asking for very much.
Is poverty that bad?
Where are all the men to take care of these beautiful women?
Seriously I think if I lived in Philippines I could fuck every day a new beautiful girl.
If you live there now— you are lucky.

1. Money grows on trees in Rich White Man Land.
2. All foreigners are rich and stupid.
3. Ripping off a foreigner is a victimless crime because of Points 1 and 2 above.
4. A foreigner cannot and will not complain because it's not his country.
In many Asian countries, the oldest person, the richest person or the one with the highest social rank pays. A white monger in the Philippines meets all three criteria (especially the first one).

Poor CM is just minding his own business in lockdown in Detroit. Stuck in his mom's basement, with nothing to do all day except toast marshmallows (the confectionary, not the wiener), watching FuckySucky.com and learning about the Philippines on the internet.

There is often a feeling among foreigners (in every country) that the 'system' is rigged against you. I have heard multiple times (here and elsewhere) that if you complain to the police (or other) in Phils, your complaint will fall on deaf ears. I strongly disagree. Have never had a police official not care or shoo me away, have never had Brgy officials not investigate a dispute and listen to both sides. In addition, have never had a Brgy or PNP complaint not work in my favor. Please, you will need some kind of documentation to back up your claim (its the first thing they ask for).
Glad RK found the correct Department to complain to.

I have successfully challenged the imposition of the credit card surcharge on a card used in Boracay.
The owner repaid me the surcharge plus he was forced to pay a fine levied by the Department of Trade & Industry.
I also reported a coffee shop that displayed prices on the board then levied me the tax as an additional charge.
Same thing. DTI asked the coffee shop to respond to my claim as the price displayed in menus includes the tax.
They admitted fault and changed their charging mode.
These are trivial examples but since I live in PH I figure I should call out these irregularities when I can.
All it took was the completion of an on-line form and submission to DTI.

I once fucked a tatted up girl in AC. After I commented that one looked good and asked how much it cost her, she openly admitted that her BF paid 10 k for it even though it only cost her 2 k.
Plenty of Poriners would regard 50 k as cheap. Look at the number of justifications here comparing Pina Pussy to what it would cost 'back home'. 😁.
Enjoy. G.

It's the same when hiring employees. It's fast to learn that the qualification documents mean nothing and you rely on non-family references.

Generally it works out about the same going out for beers with the guys at home. No issues with the foreigner paying just regular guys out having some beers and wings and telling lies about past jobs we have worked on.
The 5/6 loans get repaid because that is the expectation, phones are held as collateral, no pay no get phone back and no get another loan. The no more loans may also apply to family members and I suppose if the collateral does not fully cover the loan then the locals may just send a 'collection agency' to get the money or other goods in payment or at least to set an example.
Foreigners on the other hand are just seen as stupid and gullible. We are fair play for their scams, the locals appear to have no shame in scamming a dumb foreigner out of his money. We really have no recourse, can we go to the police saying I sent this girl money to come and fuck me and she didn't show up? Do we have the necessary connections to find them? All we really know about them is their names which can be common names, their phone numbers which can be replaced for 40 p or where they SAY they live.
We just have to be smart, no sending money to a girl you have not met yet, unless you are knowingly taking a chance and are prepared to lose it, no shopping before you get fucked, etc.
I will send load, generally 50 p to start so we can chat. Some of these girls are so desperate for money that the 50 p load to chat is beyond them. To go much beyond this requires good chats, cam shows.
In normal times I will buy airline tickets sometimes, why pay to bring a girl half way across the country when there are just as good ones next door? I will send a Grab to pick her up, I just about never send cash to a girl before the first meet and we develop some relationship.
Since I got really strict on my criteria on sending money I actually have had some show up. Prior to that when I was stupid and sent 1000 or 2000 when asked I always lost. If I have talked a while, established a long distance relationship I sometimes take a chance but still do no better than about 50/50. I see the loss as part of the cost of doing business, one of the the best fuck and suck I had was on a girl I took a chance on and helped her before we met.
Why do we think we are so much smarter than them, we come here with wallets full of cash and give it away for nothing. Sometimes we stay home with wallets full of cash and send it by western Union or other remittance service. Who is the dumb one?

About 3 am I got a call from the doorman that Lisa was at his desk and requested permission to go up to my room. A few minutes later she crawled back into bed and screwed me again in the morning. She had traveled by jeepney from Malate to Cubao during the middle of the night. Obviously the neighbor's possession of the phone leveraged the deadline repayment, and the remaining 500 from me leveraged her return. But I also know of numerous 5/6 loans in communities that are negotiated without collateral and usually get repaid. So why are these local 5/6 deals understood as loans, whereas borrowing from the Western boyfriend is understood as a gift?
Does the pressure of community knowledge of the terms of the loan make the difference? Is there a community or cultural acceptance of the 5/6 loan structure? Or maybe it's the assumption that the foreigner always pays. WC told an interesting story a couple years ago in which a Cebu girlfriend invited him to meet with friends at a restaurant, and he ended up with the tab because an assertive Filipina insisted that the foreigner always pays. But I know that does not always hold. I have been out with well-to-do Filipinos who insisted on paying for me and others. CM has an answer: all Filipinas and their extended families are liars and leeches. But clearly he has been hurt by a Filipina he cared about--or perhaps he's just committed to the role of ISG troll for a country he has never visited.
I suspect the real answer is more nuanced than any of these answers.

I have come to learn that when a filfipina says 'borrow' it simply is a polite way of saying give. We western folk assume that borrow is a two way deal. For a filipina it is a one way deal.
I did have one girl in Manila who was lovely, smart, studying etc etc. She needed P500,000 desperately in order to complete a family home. The land and house so far had been paid for by her ex-BF now back in Korea. She offered that I would have security on the house, she would sign a contract etc etc.
The part of the deal that she could never understand was that a) as a first year grad it would be many years before she had surplus income to repay a debt and b) I had zero chance of enforcing any of the security.
