Chubby, okay super chubby, balding 40 yo guy
I think of myself as an average guy and I had a great week in AC.
Pros: Walking street is open now from 10 am to 4 am. You can find a girl almost anytime of day. 70% of the bars on Walking Street are open and several have been renovated. 1000+ girls and maybe 200 guys. A lot of the time, you might have an entire bar and all the girls to yourself. So for all the guys complaining about having to go early to beat the Asian guys, not an issue right now. 2500 bar fines for ST or 3500 for LT are still available. You can still find a sweet 20 yo girl in AC who will tell you that you are "hansum" / "gwapo".
Cons: Not as lively as before. Being the only guy in a bar with all the girls, Mamas, and waitresses staring at you can be intimidating / annoying. Less food options and the restaurants that are open don't have all items available. No more Southern Cross or Flythebus.
Last trip to AC was in 2019. New girls, new bars, new owners, but still same same. There are bars for the super senior members on this board (Centauro, Lucifer's, Shooters, etc) And there are bars that have a large Asian clientele (Dragon, XS, etc) but all bars accept anyone with blue peso notes.
Disclaimer: If you're a "budget" traveler and you're going to complain about how I spend MY money then stop reading now.
Day 1 - Genesis bus from NAIA T3 to SM Clark 380 pesos (Arrivals area / downstairs, Bay 13) Stayed at Central Park. Took a 20 yo MILF from XS. 4000ST and 1000 tip.
Day 2 - Took a girl from SS Bar at noon. 4000ST and 1000 tip. Mama said the girl didn't have a baby but in the room there was baby damage. Girl was sweet with a sexy figure though so I wasn't too upset. Was going to take another girl at night but jet lag kicked in and I passed out.
Day 3 - Took the same girl from SS bar and went to Hammer and Mega Dance Club. Mega appears to be the new HiSo. Didn't get a chance to talk rates with any of the girls.
Day 4 - can't remember the name of the bar but 4000ST and 1000 tip. Then a brown out hit and killed my night.
Day 5 - Ended up picking two "cherry" sisters, 18 and 20, at Lucifer's by accident. Bought them drinks and hung out. Almost asked how much but my rational brain overpowered my lizard brain for once. Took a 20 yo MILF instead 4500ST and 1000 tip. Didn't know the 20 yo was a MILF until we got back to the room. On stage she was super slim. Also seems like the actual BF is 4000 but she upcharged me 500 pesos because she is a "spotlight" model LOL.
Day 6 - Leopard 2500ST plus 2000 tip for a 18 yo with no babies and amazing natural tits. XS 4000ST and 2000 tip for a 19 yo with no babies and amazing natural tits.
Day 7 - repeat of Day 6. Also ran into another 18 yo "cherry" girl. Lizard brain won momentarily, 150,000 pesos.
Day 8 - Repeat. But went back with the XS girl to talk with the "cherry" sisters LOL.
Day 9 - Dollhouse 4000ST and 1000 tip for the door girl. XS 4000ST and 1000 tip for a new girl since someone took the 19 yo. Went late hoping someone would take her so I could get an emotional break. Forgot how sweet / addicting some of these girls can be.
Day 10 - was really torn on whether to leave or extend my stay. The 19 yo from XS was really growing on me. Also was really really tempted by the "cherry" sisters. Decided to get out of AC before a few too many red horses put my lizard brain back in charge. Genesis bus from SM Clark to Pasay 240 pesos. Taxi to Makati 500 pesos.
I'm bored in Makati and miss AC. P Burgos is dead compared to AC. P Burgos opens at 8 pm but doesn't get going til 9 pm and has 5 bars, 1 "dance" club, and 2 billiard bars. I went to Lips at 8 pm to avoid the "rush" and was the only one in the bar until 9 pm. Went to V8 and again was the only one in the bar til 10 pm, when the people from Lips at 9 pm came to V8.
In closing, if you want to be "loved" by a sweet 20 yo--irregardless of your age, bmi, ethnicity, and lack of hairline--as long as your money is blue, AC is the place.
