[QUOTE=Ekspat;2510042]Wonder who will invest in a property in such an old and rundown building.[/QUOTE]Rundown old people? Chinese?

[QUOTE=Locamotive;2510144]that they were contacted by owners to expect to return to work in January if interested. [/QUOTE]I don't see that happening but lets hope I'm wrong.

[QUOTE=BrizLad]The brave investors are buying. [/QUOTE]I'd say the smart investors are buying now.

Hope every one doing good.

COVID played bad role in mongering.

Came across Facebook groups about women looking for love, single mom looking for foreigners like that.

I am looking for seniors point of view, how is the success rate in FB and any tips to find beautiful chicks in FB, I feel it is safe and it will make our trip more comfortable if we make FB friends before travel.

Thanks in Advance.

200 k for a couple massages with extras a week forever does not sound to bad, if you really think you will get that.

Whatever you invest in this country be prepared to lose it, especially if it is a little on the shady side. Lots of locals will make up a story to get you deported so that they can keep your investment.

[/QUOTE]Same girls, same game, FB is just the contact method and you then enter the same circle of ex-BF, unmarried mothers, demanding relatives et etc.

All the candidates are desperately poor and unless you are prepared to start sending them money now, the conversation will end rather quickly. But you won't believe me, so just give it a shot and see for yourself.

Good luck finding anyone sub 40 or remotely decent looking.

The only possible reason I could see for using the groups would be for guys that are intimidated by good looking young girls or those that specifically prefer older ladies. Most of the ladies there have done the foreigner circuit many times (look with familiarity with English, international money transfers, online phone topups and purchasing property) so anyone playing along should watch his heart and wallet.

Sorry if I'm offending anyone who may be using them. Just calling it as I see it. 😁.

Enjoy. G.

A girl is not going to think she is so ugly that she will limit herself to PL. Most girls join one of the sites on the urging of their friends who have all struck it rich marrying young, white, alpha-male New York investment bankers with houses in Scarsdale. Hahahaha. The only one which I think has a higher social ranking is Christian Filipina Dating. Any monger banged any hookers from that site yet? [URL]https://www.christianfilipina.com/[/URL].

Legitimate business people do not ever invest in massage parlors, brothels, or bars with hookers. Since time immemorial, those businesses have always been controlled by the underworld.

I never did find out how the building was owned, was it included in the business or just a lease?

All she would tell me was for my 200 k I could have half the profits from the place.

Had she offered me say 3 full service trips there a week for a year or two, I might have gone for it if the trust level was there.

[QUOTE=KabulGuy;2511161]She was very vague about what would be buying.[/QUOTE]This the Filipino way "vague" and it's unlikely the deal would have withstood your western inquisitiveness for business detail let along an engineers quest for detail!

Had a mate down in Mindanao offered a similar deal in an oyster farm. (oyster being the common thread with the massage business). He put money in and got zero out. Well he was never getting anything out and I think you realized that also.

Even getting the massage commitment would have been interesting as 'pre-paying' anything in Ph soon gets forgotten.

Many hopeful mongers currently sending cash will soon discover that cash this year does not equal pussy on arrival.

[QUOTE=KabulGuy;2511161]All she would tell me was for my 200 k I could have half the profits from the place.[/QUOTE]You should have taken it. 6 of my buddies and I have half shares too. We can't get there due to Covid but the Manager is sending us photos. Its great. We are just waiting for the profits to start pouring in.

Enjoy. G.

Philippines will be a pussy paradise for a while. Just go there find, fuck, pay and leave. And repeat.
