[QUOTE=Red Kilt;1237087]We have discussed many times here how filipinos in general do not learn geography and also have difficulty in placing themselves in the world.[/QUOTE]I've found that until one starts driving a vehicle on a regular basis, one has a terrible sense of local geography. The local pilipino might know exactly where the mall is, and he might know exactly how to walk there, but he will not be able to give you directions. This problem exists outside filipines also.
I've had those same conversations, where the girl says she has no money,"how will I get there no money?" I find it better to deal with that in chat prior to arrival. Make it clear to all of them that the burden of travel is upon the girl, up for reimbursement later.
[QUOTE=Jambo; 1237079]I dunno about this one, she's cute, with decent tits, and twin 16yo sisters in the on-deck circle. But here is my TXT stream with her:
Me:. Hi I'm in Makati now, would like to see you.
Her: really you in makati now?
Me: sure, come see me, how far away do you live.
Her: very far, how long you stay?
Me: I leave on Monday. If you travel here, I can pay for the expense.
Her: How can I go there, I don't have money, no job.
Me: Well how far are you?
Her: very far.
Me: Well maybe next time then. What Town are you in?
Her: Masbate
Me: (I am checking Google maps now) What, in Quezon City? Thats not far.
Her: Not quezon province.
Me: Well Quezon City is not far, I can pay for the taxi when he arrives.
Her: I'm here in Masbate how can I travel there?
Me: Thats Masbate in Quezon City, right? I can pay for a taxi.
Her: Masbate is not a quezon city, Masbate in the province.
Me: (recalculating Google Maps. Google shows several listings showing Masbate Province on the island of Bicol) Ah in Bicol? I thought you were in Manila! Oh well maybe I can come visit you next time.
Her: not Bicol.
Me: Well I can't visit you if I don't know where you live.
Her: this is Masbate.
[to myself. Well I guess if you know where You are, that's all you really need to know][/QUOTE]What part of very far did you not get. She knows where she lives you need to learn how they talk about address's as Masbate city is not in Bicol you did ask town not area. Even if she was in bicol she could not take a taxi as you recommend. How about learn about the place before you try make her look stupid. As you look really dumb posting this with the last line trying to insult her intelligence and education if that is the real text she is educated and would not be real poor.
Soon as you said where you where she said it was far but you thought you where smarter than her only to post her text here and prove that your not.
Sorry to have a go at you but so many guys treat the locals like they are dumb when they are smart. Then come here complaining they have been scammed. You seem to be one in the making.

[to myself. Well I guess if you know where You are, that's all you really need to know][/QUOTE]One of my ex gfs was from masbate. Worth visiting if you can handle the luck of descent accommodation. Lots of spanish blood, so big tits, nice looking ladies on offer but you need to be discrete. Perhaps easier to go find and move to another island with her.
I may have underestimated F3. Although I understand the frustration of the original poster, he has to understand that there may be some very large language and cultural barriers. I've sometimes tried to call the gal when having similar problems, but found that the communication is often just as bad.
I have to say that the first time a gal suggested I meet the taxi and pay (not communicated so clearly as I've written) I was totally confounded. She must have thought me a total idiot as she waited uncomfortably in the taxi as I texted,"yea, I'm in the mall wearing plaid bell bottoms. What are you wearing?" X.

I offer this anecdote as a warning to those newbies who think the Philippines is just point and click.
There are many deeper layers so beware.
I am a very experienced DIA user. Met a very cute 26 year old. We exchanged a message and cell phone numbers and then sent a few texts back and forth.
She works in SM Makati. Said she didn't have an email and I could come to her work and see her and she could meet me there.
I did that last Thursday. She is even better in person than on her pic on DIA. Tall and slim and very sweet. We chatted for a few minutes and I discovered her day off is next Tuesday Jan 17. We arranged to meet. She is very excited and numerous texts between Thursday night and Friday / Friday night confirm her readiness to meet.
Today (Sat) I get 2 texts. One said "This is (x) 's husband. Please stop texting my wife".
Second text said "Do not meet my wife or I will kill you".
Needless to say this cute little sweety is now OFF my list. I was really shocked as I never thought that she was not who she said she was.
There are a couple of warnings here.
NEVER text too many details about you to any woman that you intend to meet. You have no idea who will read these texts. Girls are often "romantic" and they keep their texts so they can go back to them over and over and also show to their friends. They can also be read by others (Husbands, boyfriends etc). Thankfully there was nothing on my texts to identify me or where I live.
So be wary about texting things like your correct name, your hotel and room number or where you live if you are staying here. It is better to meet a contact in a neutral place with security (mall coffee shop) and go from there. In my case, the hubby had no idea about me, but imagine if I had arranged for her by text how and where to meet me (for example, in a hotel).
Newbies. Remember to be very careful about how much to say to girls via text, because girls' cps are not necessarily private property and they share them around easily between friends. Some boyfriends / partners / husbands also vet their partner's texts too.
It was a good wake up call for me. (I just noticed her DIA profile is now taken down so no point in me mentioning it here as a warning).
It is of course transferable to every situation and not just DIA. Bar sneak-outs are another source of risk if you use texts. remember: you do not know who is reading them.
RK I would also add to that you do not know who her husband knows, he may have had some one seen you talk to his wife. I had people tell my gf they saw me at place x, some even come up and say Hi, but if I am with another girl I would say they would just text the gf.

Most gossips love to be "the first" to tell someone they Know about some mutual acquaintance's business, whether innocent or not.
Filipinas love tsismis (gossip) and are professional tsismosas (gossipers). The guys will do it too. Just look at the way the prosecutors in the impeachment case against the Chief Justice could not stop themselves from releasing some of their evidence before the trial has even started.
Nothing about anyone is discreet in the Philippines.
Anyway. I am going to lay low for a while. Time to re-evaluate a few things. I might even hide my DIA profile for a while too.

I can only reinforce what's been said by others. This is, at the end of the day, a small place, particularly for those of us who live here. You never know who is watching you and who is going to report to whom. I a friend-an older woman in my office-who told me that the staff of the Marco Polo here in Davao used to let her know every time a previous expat employee of ours had women in his room. He thought he was being discrete, while apparently, my friend, and all of her friends, and all of her friends' friends knew every move this guy made. The bottom line is that there are no secrets in your own zip code.

[QUOTE=Chocha Monger;1237253]Was there a motive for the old crone to keep tabs on the sexual dalliances of said expat employee?[/QUOTE]I just put it down to boredom they just enjoy scandal. Oh and RK I said that as she probably thought she could get away with it as most couples do not check phones and he would have just found a number with out a name after been told about the meetup. I think you are safe but next time meet in places where you have more privacy and get her to meet you there where no one can see. I even have staff just to do these meetings and if they ever tell they lose the job. Drivers can not be trusted I usually use a gay to organise this and pay no more than 2000 every month.

I'm going to post this response here from the photo gallery. I've been wanting to talk about dating filipinas here in California. I know there are other guys looking to marry a filipina.
How did you know she was a nurse? LOL. Your correct about the filipina nurses here in California. I've been dating only filipinas here in California that I've met on Match and another dating site. Alot of them are divorced from american guys who brought them over from Phil. The marriages did not work out for various reasons that have been spoken about here before. Age difference, expectations on both parties, the guy was drunk and abusive or the girl may have been gold a digger, etc. They already have their visa's so you don't have to be concerned that they are looking for a sponsor. Plus most of them are educated and work as nurses. The dificult part is finding a young sexy one without too many kids that will be attrated to a little older guy.
I also have a crazy story I will share later about my 32 year old filipina house cleaner from Manila that is Smoking Hot and is married to a guy who is wealthy and 20 years older than her. She cooks, cleans and then we fuck. She does not get enough sex from her husband. I feel bad that she is married but its impossible to keep my hands off her. I have dated many beautiful filipinas and she is by far the most beautiful girl I have ever met. I wish I could post photos of her but I don't want to get her in trouble.

GE[/QUOTE]Along the same lines, I get a lot of this bamboo pipeline in AC. I have several regular bargirls I spend time with in AC. I get what might be considered anywhere else these strange txt msgs from them at odd times. Its, say 2pm, I'm in the mall with last nights fresh barfine-hanger-on, finishing a late lunch when I get a txt from one of my regulars, that says: "is she bargirl? How well you know her that girl you eating with?" Or,"be careful that girl you talking the mall." The regular is a mile away, at home or in her bar on shift. How the fuck did she know I'm in the mall? Very simple. The bamboo pipeline. The girls (at times, I'll admit its not often or regular) seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads (or spy glasses that can see for miles and through buildings). They share phone pics with their friends of their dates (such as me) , and then one of her friends sees me in the mall one day and txts my regular that I'm having lunch with some other gal. I'm sure that not only do they share their phone pics with each other, they also look thru each others phones discretely when the other girl is not around. If her friends can look thru her phone, her bf / hubby certainly will also.
Interesting thought. I've never been tempted to look thru my local gf's phone in my country. But if I lived in phils, knowing what I do about how quick the girls are to cheat (I just think of how many have cheated on their bf / hubby with me, and without my knowledge at times) , I'd probably be tempted to look thru it from time-to-time, just like RK's mall date.
