Date In Asia

[TomParsons2000]

I recently had occasion to make a trip to Makati, where I was staying at one of the major hotels in the Poblacion district, close to P. Burgos Street. A separate field report regarding my experiences with local massage girls and on-street observations can be found in the Makati section of this forum.

In anticipation of my upcoming trip, I signed up for several online dating platforms, but ultimately ended up focusing on Date in Asia (aka DIA). To try and focus on more than one platform could have been quite time-consuming. I chatted back and forth with quite a few girls, and whittled them down to a shortlist of those whom I actually wanted to see. Many were willing to share their Whatsapp or Facebook contact information, which made it easier to establish a rapport outside of the DIA platform. There were of course lots of ladyboys and some scammers asking for money for various emergencies, which I was well prepared for after reading this forum.

I found a number of the girls were timid about meeting me, once they learned we would be hanging out at my hotel after the initial proposed meeting at a mall or coffee shop. I had been straightforward in my DIA profile, explaining I was looking for a casual and fun time. That candor may have scared off some of the good girls. The ones looking for a real, long-term relationship. I'm sure many of those good girls are attainable and could be bedded in a short amount of time, but I was trying to be ethical and open / transparent about my intentions.

I ended up meeting two girls from DIA in person. Both were in their 20's. Girl #1 was a textbook example of what a "no strings attached" experience should be. A good time was had by both of us, but I had no desire to see her again after that single meeting. Conversation was lacking and her bedroom skills didn't impress me. Girl #2, however, was a significantly different experience, in a good way. She turned out to be sweet, funny, fantastic in bed, an all-around great girl. I saw her more than once, and it turned into a complete girlfriend experience. I had a great time, and I honestly believe she did too.

I would have seen other girls from DIA (I had more lined up), but was having such a great time with Girl #2 that I opted to stick with her for the rest of the trip. Many of you may scoff at this, and I'm a little bit surprised at this turn of events myself. I went onto DIA with the intent of having some much-desired sexual variety with different girls, but I ended up with a quasi-girlfriend. All things considered, the trip was fun and I'm pleased that DIA generated some great leads, with no membership cost for the site.

The problem now is that I suspect I'm making an amateur mistake. Because I find myself wanting to stay in touch with Girl #2. During our time together, I learned some things about her which pointed to the fact she is not a hardened pro, and I have independently verified this information to the extent possible. But an international romance is likely to entail some financial costs (how else does one show affection from thousands of miles away? And few benefits as we can't physically be in each other's presence. And I know having a "relationship" with a girl who was willing to meet me at a hotel for casual sex is probably not advisable. Despite knowing this, I want to stay in touch with Girl #2 and see how this plays out. What do you think, gents. Am I making a huge mistake?

Yes, I got closed twice. First time I have no idea what, if anything I did wrong.

Second time I signed up with different email, different phone number, different pic.

Closed instantly. I guess they monitored IP. I really don't know HOW guys keep an open account.

At any rate, I use Pinalove, thaifriendly, hellopinay, thaiflirting, pilipinalove now.

Too bad, I would really love to know why the jerk behind DIA is so controlling.

All dating sites promote new accounts so you get a rush of contacts in the first little while. SA for example has a specific listing for new members for you to look at, the girls get the same feature.

Add in the fact that since you are new, you get looked at by everyone new as well as those who have been looking for a while so it is not unexpected to get a rush of contacts initially that will dry up soon.

Change accounts periodecially and use all new photographs and you will gain an advantage from this in terms of being looked at some more.

I can't get approved. Have tried three times and nothing. Double checked the basic form and nothing.

I opened a DIA account and was immediately bombarded with messages. They are mostly from places that are very far from Manila or that main island. It seems very difficult to get to these places. I still have months before my trip in January, so I will go back on closer to my trip.

Same thing happened to me. It's because any new guy is fresh meat. There are a ton of scammers but you just have to block them. I ultimately concentrated on several in the same geographical area and whittled that group down to 4 that I met. It's too bad that the Phils is so geographically separated. If it were Korea, you'd just have to hop on the KTV and be anywhere in the country in a very short time.

You are a kinky one. LOL

I can only dream. (LOL).

I was once temporarily banned for mentioning "chicken breasts".

[Dublin12]

To defeat most attempts to identify you as a user:

Use a VPN..

The software on DIA can detect proxy servers. I've been on there with mine switched on and the message has flagged up that they have detected it and I need to switch it off before I can proceed further.

... Recently I noticed that a warning had appeared saying that anyone using multiple identities or using suggestive language would be banned then I was banned in mid flow chatting with a lady who was telling me what she would like to do with me if we met. Can anyone recommend a similar free website I could try.

I was once temporarily banned for mentioning "chicken breasts". I appealed asking that a human read the post rather than a bot, and was reinstated.

Typo? Surely you mean a "quick buck".

Good advice here.

They are short-tiem candidates: ask for their tel number, don't send any money. But once there then text them to meet you. Some will then ask for money for transport. Offer you pay for the cab on arrival. Just be sure you know the distance and the approximate fare. Set a time limit: if not here within an hour. The deal is off. Some may ask how much you give. It needs diplomacy not to commit for a high rate but decide once you see her in real.

Still many will be eager to visit you for a quick fuck.

So I created account after reading on here because going to Manila soon. I didn't even offer money or request anything sexual, and my account was closed after three days. WTF? Auto generated webpage stating I might of violated site rules, I reviewed and didn't. Anyone else experience that?

It maybe your profile pic. If their computer thinks it is a flagged picture it will block you. No recourse. I was blocked before couple of times because being nasty to ladyboys.

Ever since I opened a new account in Manila I had no problems. Besides I get lots of offers from girls thinking I live there like I need company now, I am lonely tonight, can we party etc. I just say I am not there right now and get their numbers.

[Kabul Guy]

Damn who the ....

First sign of asking for money, offering cam show or nude photo's for money, stating that they have money problems, sick relatives etc is an immediate block and ignore for me. Don't waste any time on these types.

I would say just in between of you both, amongst all contacts, I have many asking quickly for some help, saying I will do everything for you, videos, photos. , but send me some money. Answer is jut no. And then no more contact from them.
