Filipinas - Opinions and Advice

The idea that the money you earn is free and clear comes probably from the fact that in some states (US) the tax rate is ridiculously low or doesn't exist.

Most don't understand mortgages and loans? It seems like some of the best American investors out there also don't considering what happened with the sub prime loan mess.

[QUOTE=Cyber Whip;1123760]Well, I don't think it's so much that they don't believe you. It's more that most Filipinas don't understand simple economics in the rest of the world. Most don't understand about home mortgages or car loans, etc. I was told one time that they thought the money we get for working was all free and clear and that even a medium to low income elsewhere was still considered rich by their standards. Of course they also don't understand the cost of living is much higher. I tried to explain all of the economics one time and my gf just laughed at me. It was clear that they have no grasp of simple economics outside Philippines.[/QUOTE]

I read the book [i] I Have Tasted The Sweet Mangoes Of Cebu [/i] By George Estrada. It's good reading for anyone thinking about falling in love with a Filipina. It takes you through the trials and emotional rollercoaster rides experienced by a middle aged guy trying to marry a hot little puday package half his age. It's a cautionary tale that those sweet little brown mangoes can be very indulging while leaving a bitter taste behind.

Hi guys,

I have a trip to Manilla planned for June with a view to fun and maybe making a long term friend and gf.

After spending a load of time reading through the site and looking at countless ads from the women, I am very unsure about what age group I can pitch myself at and get some interest.

Although I'm 55 I am in shape and fit (175lbs) thank to the job.

Thank to all for the great contributions here.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Trackman35,

The girls in Philippines are not as picky as western girls. They tend to like older men, because, as many have said, older men are more stable. For the most part, Filipinos consider anyone from another country to be rich. That being said, women of any age are happy to engage in a long term relationship, or marriage with a foreigner. But beware, the needs and bills of the whole family come along with the girl.

I am nearly the same age but definitely not the same shape T35 (:eek;) and I have no issues finding delightful young girls willing to meet me and do naughty things to my body (which not attractive :p). As HW says they prefer older as we are more 'respectful'. Not sure what that means in my case given my rather 'innocednt pursuits' but for sure they will like you. Be nice and show them you are a gentleman until the bedroom :D

My preferred age group is 18-22 and I love the country (because I am gwapo and Brad Pitt when I am there) but with age range some are very immature so be warned. I have some nice ones who are great at conversation etc but many are more are tiresome after the first or second shag.

And of course the deeper the relationship the more the family become invovled so be warned. Again I am lucky but it has taken time and I dont get hassled from those I see more regularly

Enjoy the experience, take it slow and easier, watch out for scammers and have lots of pinay pussy

1. Date any foreigner for gain mostly for money. Do not believe anything if they say they are in it for Love.

2. Yes, you can have a steady GF as long as you become a sponsor sending money every month.

Beware that she will most likely have a local BF in your absence or hook up with other sponsors.

3. Phi is one of the few countries where age gap is often overlooked from girls and her family.

4. She feels like it is her duty to help her family, so there will be additional demands for money saying.

One excuse or another.

5. Do not expect honesty from any of these women unless you live round the clock with them.

I have sponsored, met girls from remote villages, had long term relationships. But I have always kept an.

Open mind about them having other relationships. As long as I am concerned if I am taken care of sexually.

And companionshipwise during my presence without any drama it is good enough for me.

Oh. Hell, it beats barfining all the time not knowing the outcome. Nothing beats a romantic trips I take with the girls.

Next month I'm taking one girl to Subic, one to Puerto Galera, and a third to Bohol. Now add some fresh Manila DIA girls + a few trips to EDSA and / or Cafe Havana, then stir. Serves one.

I need some help? I am looking for a beach in PI that is a lot like Sihanoukville in Cambodia. I need some hide outs that might be out of the way, but still some mongering fun can be had. PM me too if you like. Does this site have trip reports or is it just talking posts? Where is a good place to begin here? Thanks!

[/QUOTE]That is certainly true of your average DIA skank or other bottom feeders. However, if you raise your standards you can certainly do better. If you're young, handsome, in shape and lay good pipe you can find middle class Filipinas who would go down in the dirt and die for you. Once you find a good one you'll see that the way to a financially secure Filipina's heart is through her pussy while the way to a poor Filipina's heart runs through your wallet. On the other hand mongers are not looking for good women. They looking for the ones that serve 'tres platos' and then offer up seconds. You can't judge them too harshly when you expect them to arrive at a monger hotel ready to fuck a strange man on sight. A Filipina who wouldn't engage in the mercenary behaviors mentioned would ask a foreigner to court her for a significant period of time before granting pussy access. That's not what a monger on an annual 2 week vacation has in mind.

As a foreigner you will meet mostly bottom of the barrel Filipinas especially when you're only there for a brief visit. Like anywhere meeting a woman worth a damn takes patience, time and high selectivity for some sense of decency. As a monger you will be selecting women with a propensity for promiscuity and loose morals. Is there any surprise when they act like an opportunistic prostitute? Mongering and girlfriend / wife hunting have two divergent objectives. Don't mix them. The resulting flavor is not very palatable. I had dinner with 3 Filipino gentlemen. It was their opinion that maybe only 1% of Filipinas would remain loyal to a much older foreigner husband after attaining G8 status. They were middle aged and single. The reason they gave was that many Filipinas expect the man to support their in-laws including the extended family. So, the problem is hardly exclusive to foreigners. That's why Filipinos with money tend to marry within their class.

If you haven't read Private Dancer by Stephen Leather, you probably should. Although the subject is Thai bar girls, the fundamental aspects of a relationship between a bar girl and a guy are pretty much the same everywhere. Filipinas can be very good partners (PP's comment about finding your way to a financially secure Filipina's heart through her pussy is spot on, and there's a reasonable chance that my Cebuano GF will be my Cebuano wife in the not too distant future) , or they can live up to all the negative stereotypes you've heard about bar girls. It's theoretically possible to find a good partner working on Burgos Street, and I imagine there might be a success story or two, but the odds are pretty unlikely.

Here's a little excerpt from Private Dancer:

[QUOTE]So, to sum up, here are the rules that I would suggest a farang follows if he is determined to marry a Thai:

1) If you want a Thai wife, don't become a sex tourist. Find a Thai girl in your own country, or join a respectable agency which can provide you with checkable references. And if you do find the girl of your dreams through an agency, get her checked out by a trustworthy private detective. It's the only way you will ever be sure that there isn't a Thai boyfriend or husband around.

2) If you decide to come to Thailand to look for a wife, do not go into a go-go bar or other places of prostitution. You wouldn't go looking for a hooker to marry in your own country so don't do it here.

3) Do not, under any circumstances, marry a bargirl. Marriages to bargirls do not work out. Anyone who has married a bargirl and thinks that he has a successful marriage just hasn't discovered the truth yet.

4) If you do marry a bargirl, don't complain when it goes wrong.

5) If you are a sex tourist, you will never have a successful long-term relationship, with any girl. Accept that and continue being a sex tourist.

6) Treat any Thai girl you meet on the Internet with suspicion. Ask yourself why a good Thai girl would go looking for a Western boyfriend on the Internet. The answer is simple – a good Thai girl wouldn't.

7) Marry a girl as close as possible to your own social, financial and educational standing. And the closer you are in ages, the better.

8) If you do marry a Thai girl, only stay in Thailand if you can earn more here than in your home country. Or if her family is a positive asset. Outwith those two provisos, your marriage will have more chance of working outside Thailand.

9) If you do stay in Thailand, learn the language. Learn about the country's history and culture. Watch local TV and local movies. Listen to Thai music. The only way you are going to have even a chance of understanding how a Thai thinks and feels is to understand their culture. [/QUOTE]

Barba[/QUOTE]Ummmmmmmm.

This is actually just common sense, isn't it? But when we start thinking with your juniors, we tend to forget about common sense.
