Stupid Shit in the Philippines

Took a date to brunch at this place last Sunday. They have a 395 p buffet which I ordered. My date just wanted a pancake and a coffee. The waitress brought me the bill for two buffets. When I told her I'm not paying for the second buffet she got all pissy so I asked to see the boss who told me I have to pay for two buffets. I asked her would you pay 395 p for a pancake and coffee she said yes so I said ok you pay it then. She said no and called me an asshole. This is the PI where people are usually nice. So I said here is 200 p for a pancake and coffee -- more than enough. Then she wanted to charge me extra for leftovers which I did not even take with me. When I was leaving she said don't come back. Don't worry, I won't. Wasn't that good anyway. It's not about the money. It's the principle. Sometimes the Filipinos play Fuck the Foreigner. Well, not this time. This is the stupidest thing I have seen in the PI for awhile. And I live here.

[QUOTE=MoonShot;2926119]One YouTube video by a Korean guy doesn't mean that all Koreans are looking for that type of girl. In fact, that video seems to be about something else because that type of girl doesn't work in a bar.[/QUOTE]It is indeed indicative of "korean" clientiles proclivities. It most certainly does represent THIS korean guy. So you cannot make the statement that ALL korean men do NOT sleep with fugly women. You therefor CAN make the statement that ALL korean men have a proclivity towards sleeping with fugly women. Hence the reason that korean bars have ugly women in them its not left overs for Western men as some "western" men suspect it's that korean guys for a yet unknown reason like to bang 1's-2's every now and then.

This woman he calls pig face and still sleeps with her.

[QUOTE=DCups;2926151]It's not about the money. It's the principle. [/QUOTE]Absolutely agree DC. I realize prices are generally great in the Phils, however sometimes you just have to stand your ground on principle. I was in a restaurant on Bantayan Island recently and ordered off the set menu. When the bill came, they wanted to charge us extra for the seafood because it was 'over weight'. Despite the fact it took an hour for the meals to hit the table, I complained, which is something I'm usually apprehensive to do.

But there comes a time when you know you're being fucked over. It had nothing to do with the price of the meal, just the principle as you suggest. Having said that, this could happen anywhere in the world _ Phil.

However if one person at a table orders the buffet all members of the party must pay for the buffet. Their assumption is that everyone will eat from the items you bring to the table. They are always upfront about this and tell you that if anyone orders the buffet everyone must order or at least pay for the buffet.

Seems of late there's a lot of open negative discrimination towards enthic groups. Why'all need to calm down and realize directing your anger and outbursts towards a group just for XYZ reason to get your knickers released is inappropriate. This forum I thought was to enjoy the delicacies PH has to offer and provide constructive information with some fun. Focus and do what you need to do to do that.

I have no probems with them. Tohugh I am pro Japanese. They generally keep to themselves and are not trouble makers. Like some Euroepans in football shirts and others I could mention. In Angels, I like to move like a ninja, invisible, taking it all in. Koreans ome in al shapes and sizes and in al levels of street smarts. I stay in K hotels. The Koreans don't cause the problems there. The white trash doing cheap Charlie with a sense of entitlement do do.

Not sure whether this belongs to "Stupid S. ". Wanted to share this anyway. There was a girl whom I was in touch with on and off. She asked me money for her Birthday party which I had posted in one of the threads. Since I was planning to visit PH, I just asked her if she wants to vist me. She gleefully agreed. She said she needs someone to accompany her. She suggested that she would like her mom (and aunt) to accompany her. She said, she just turned 18 and showed me proof. I was like hmm. Then I asked her how can we be together if her and aunt are around. She said they would be fine. I was a bit dumb stuck. Then I asked her how would she feel to have sex with her mom and aunt in say another room. She said, she did not believe in having sex -- and its only after marriage. I threw up. Then she went on to say the following -- "Sex before marriage is a sin", "I am a woman of god, I will just need sex as a gift of god after marriage". She started preaching me on how if we focus on god, we can enjoy our time together without having to indulge in sex. Then she suggests that if I need sex, I should talk to her aunt (mom's sister). I was like I am done with her. This was serious WTF.

(This girl has an elder sister and 2 brothers. Her sister is from a different biological dad, she is from a different dad and her brothers are from a different dad. Her mom lives with one of them now. Her resolve is to not go down her mom path and be closer to god and seek gods guidance.

Welcome to Phils, where odd things are discovered daily, and the odd isn't really considered odd at all. Expand your mind as the lines start to blur.

Illegal dens offering plastic surgery and more. You would want to be mad or desperate.

Out in the wider world, away from the bars and clubs, this couldn't be further from the truth. Sure there are many who will but there are many many more who won't. The surprising thing is that there are never any surprises. The girls are very upfront before even meeting or going out. I've had several tell me that that she is a virgin, happy go out but won't be sleeping with me. I believed them. And I'm talking about attractive and personable girls. Definitely not hags that are too ugly to find a guy.

I received flack before for saying this but as a resident, where pussy was available 24/7, day after day, it was actually refreshing to go on a platonic date with an attractive girl who could actually string together a conversation beyond 'where you from, where you stay?

It should go without saying that I didn't meet these girls in a bar or on hook up apps.

Cheers. G.
