Manila

I'm flying to Bangkok and have an option for a 20 hour layover in Manila, from 7 pm to 3 pm the next day. Is it worth experiencing Manila for a very short stay, for someone who's never been? Is it even possible to get from the Manila airport to the RLD, play, and get back? All opinions welcome, please don't bash me for a newbie question.

Get a hotel near LA Cafe in Malate for 24-7 action or one in Makati near Burgos St. For higher priced and possibly better looking girls in the evening. Easy Peasy.

Hi Forum, just moved 2 weeks back from NJ to MetroManila area. Before coming over, I sent across the 25 $ cash charge as per instructions to get the Forum paid subscription. Hoping that it will get activated in the next few days.

Reading through some of the posts here, great to know about the Gcash and Lazada information. Hope to get more info on life experiences here at Manila.

Got conned already. Though I had read up about the scams, I guess, in the enthusiasm of being here, I walked into one pretty much knowingly. Essentially, met someone through tg, fixed up a meeting, turned out to be a post op trans. And then got a call from the manager asking for more agency fees. Long and short of it, had to settle for 100 $ and managed to close the issue. I know that the situation could have become much worse, but by acting calm and composed and by ensuring that there was only 100 $ in my wallet, I managed to get out of the situation.

I am currently in the BGC area and will be here for at least another 6 to 8 months. Would be nice to exchange information with the regular members here.

Cheers.

What I would recommend is just go to LA Cafe around midnight any day of the week. In there you will find 100% certified genetic females. Find one you like, buy her a drink for 350 peso or so, then ask her to go next door with you. Don't even mention price, if she asks ditch her and find a new girl. Most will go without even mentioning price. Upon exiting L. A. Cafe, turn left and walk 20 meters until you.

Reach Brickstone. Ring the bell, enter, pay your 600 pesos for 3 hours, take the girl to the room, shower, do the sex, give her 2000 pesos and then exit the hotel.

Or if you prefer Makati book there. I prefer Ermita. My go to hotel iNew World hotel around the block from LA cafe. Plenty of girls there. New world hotel does to blink an eye as long as you escort in because key opens elevator to your floor only. Hotel is approximately $100 with breakfast for two. Best rates on Agoda or [URL]trip.com[/URL].

For me I get girls from chatting sites. However I make a visit to LA cafe just to have a drink and look. However you will have a good time and a smile onto your next destination. Couple of times I had only 5 am to 6 pm layover on Philippines airlines. Managed to convince hotel manager for a day rate.

When you guys meet girls on Pina love, tinder, SA, do you ever tell them hotel and room number and wait for them or always meet at a restaurant near the hotel to make sure it's not a ladyboy or a fake profile. Because of all the crazy laws that will put you in jail in Manila, I am thinking of telling every girl I meet online I will pay for lunch or dinner first, and see where it goes from there. If I give them a dollar amount to meet, that could be considered prostitution and a set up. What do you guys think. Should all talk of sex for money only be done in person and never in writing.

Is getting jammed up by police for soliciting a legal consenting woman actually a problem in Manila? Is it a 1:1 million thing or something commonplace or something in between? I've heard / read about people getting locked up for going with underage girls, but not legal, consenting women unless the guys were doing something really, really stupid.

1/. Never, ever sit around waiting for a Pina to arrive. They are notorious for late-shows, no-shows and general flakiness. Just go on with your activities and have them message you when they arrive. Worst case is then not getting laid but having a normal day, rather than sitting around for hours, doing nothing, and she doesn't even show up.

2/. I've had many new girls come straight to my door with out incident. Sure, sometimes photos were flattering or ages were misstated but video calls before hand can limit that. Of course, some girls don't want to be seen hooking up with a geriatric white guy so prefer to come straight to the hotel to avoid being seen in public.

3/. I've also chosen to meet elsewhere first. Not because of paranoia over a set up but more likely I'm going to be elsewhere for the afternoon anyway, I'm not 100% sure that the profile was accurate or, many girls want to give the illusion of being a good girl and meet with a security friend first.

Either way, the risk of a random newbie being set up for a sting is very rare.

Enjoy. G.

I've heard ...[/QUOTE]There have been reports of scams, at least in olden days, of guys being held up around LA Cafe for being with a hooker. Your question is like one baboon asking another is it ok to sip the water without being grabbed by a croc. You just have to play normal, cool, low profile etc. Sniff the wind for lions, sip your water and be off.

If in your room (you shouldn't) you can just call hotel security and they will eject the scammer for you. Tip them 500 Peso and they will be your friend and protector for the rest of the stay. I never pay scammers. They yell, threaten and do all that shit but actually they can't do shit, especially in a decent hotel. You should never ever let unknown girls or LB into your own apartment at any time. Short time hotels exist for a reason.

Meet them in the lobby. If you don't like, tell them to fuck off. If you feel nice hand a 100 P for taxi fare. But nothing more.

Do you guys have a general rule.

You turn her away from your room or lobby, but now she has written dialogue about sex for money when you thought she was 20 but turns out is 17. The police then set you up, even though you didn't have sex with her.

If I write, "let's meet for lunch", and then she " forgot her ID" , I can pay for her dinner, and give her cab fare. Are you guys generally comfortable exchanging texts that talk sex for money, or do you use more coded language to protect yourself like " I'll give you 3000 pesos to Netflix and chill" Is that the safer way to do it, or should I stop watching too many episodes of locked up abroad and quit being paranoid.

Always video chat with the girl beforehand to make sure no ladyboy. Always have them turn on their GPS or have them call you when they are close by. Wait for them in the lobby before they arrive I inform the security guards that a girl will be coming to make things more comfortable for the girl when she arrives. If the girl is a repeat, the guards will know and just send them up without having to register their ID.

An experience of mine when I was drunk, a girl followed me to my hotel, it was raining and she had an umbrella but also wearing a mask. She was holding my arm and pretended to be my date, I couldn't tell she was ladyboy but the guard knowing me stopped her from entering the hotel. Stupid of me LOL.
