[QUOTE=Longhorn2000]Xman and others,
Hope you can give me your advice on this. Headed over to PI next week, and plan to meet at least three online cuties with whom I've been chatting for some time. Facing the age old dilemna of what to say when I make my exit from one to the other. I've come up with the following: tell them I have close Filipino friends here at home and they want me to visit their relatives in another town there for a few days. And that I will be insulting my friends if I don't go see their relatives. I know I shouldnt worry about this so much, but I've bonded with each of them and I don't want to be an asshole and hurt them intentionally. I know that goes against the Monger's Creed ("find 'them, fuck 'them, forget 'them"), but I am who I am.
I've solicited advice on this topic before, but I just wanted to run this idea by everyone.
Thanks for any advice![/QUOTE]
The Nurse gives excellent advice for another reason. It may become difficult to remember the story you told. That is the problem with a lie. The truth is placed in the memory banks in a different way than a made up story. That is why it is easier for police to catch criminals years later. They cannot remember the intricate story they fabricated, so usually try to come up with the same story and it doesn't ring true to the original story. All they had to do was say "I have forgotten, it was so long ago."
Then if you are a drinker and drinking to the point that it affects your memory you have even more difficulty remembering the story you told.
For me I have always had business to handle while in Asia. So I employ the half truth the nurse talks about. I say I have business to handle either in another city in the Philippines or in Hong Kong. I am usually in a big city so I do not worry about being seen. I also will change hotels.
Never been questioned or had a text message that I was seen. If I did get the "my friend saw you" text message I would just say it wasn't me. Must have been a westerner that looked like me. If she said her friend was sure it was me I would say well did she talk to this guy? Why not? If it was me she should have said hi? Why would she not say hi to me? Because she wasn't sure it was me... that is why. I am not there, it could not have been me.
As a good friend of mine once told me deny deny deny. Even if they have a picture of you..you say " I admit it looks like me but it simply isn't me.
The business story leaves you with much more room to tell your story. The other party did not show up...showed up late...changed the meeting time...was useless and not a good business person to deal with. The meeting went well and we have another meeting scheduled....I could not text you back because I was in a meeting or having dinner with the person I had the business meeting with. I have even went out at night on my own saying that I was going to have a business dinner meeting.
You will receive lots of request for employment, but you just say you do not mix business with friends. It is not good for business.
Again easier for me as I am there for business most of the time and taking a break when I am meeting girls.
Also I was not promising relationships with girls. I had ongoing relationships where I would see the same girl or girls during my visits, but not anything that was going to escalate to a serious relationship. Not that they would not have liked this and if they knew the level of my mongering some serious jealousy would have erupted. So I did my story telling.
