[QUOTE=Breadman;2244620]Found one that is just too good to be true. [URL]https://www.dateinasia.com/Ashley1212[/URL].[/QUOTE]Contact her, and then get her on cam. Enquiring minds want to know!

[QUOTE=BaddHabbit;2244809]Contact her, and then get her on cam. Enquiring minds want to know![/QUOTE]She looks legit to me. Her profile is a model shot, the rest of the photos (where she's not nearly as hot) look like a fairly typical pinay.

If Breadman finds her attractive then go for it. However, a 24 yo single mum with one nice photo is hardly exceptional on DIA (either good or bad) and doesn't raise any alarm bells for me.

You get the build up of a hot girl showing up to your door then the girl from ten years in the future comes along.

Either you find her attractive enough to contact or the photos put you off and you don't.

FWIW, of course she has picked flattering photos. Any normal human being would. Typically I find girls drop 1 to 1. 5/10 in person vs their photos. That doesn't necessarily mean she's fraudulent.

Good luck, G.

[QUOTE=Breadman;2245114]You get the build up of a hot girl showing up to your door then the girl from ten years in the future comes along.[/QUOTE]P.S. She doesn't have to show up at your door. If you have concerns, meet her at Jollie Bee or similar and make your call there.

200 p in taxi fare and burgers can be money very well spent.

Geez, just spent 45 minutes to resolve an issue with an Amazon order. I asked the girl if my guess was correct, she is from the Philippines. I think I need to go there and teach English.

I was in Makati last week for a few days and work kept me really busy. But I got some time on Friday and Saturday and a few hours on Sunday before I took a flight back to Singapore. A total of 5 girls. 2 girls from WeChat and Tinder. 1 from PlanB (Megan) and 2 from Kojax (Pamela and Gisele).

From Wednesday to Friday I was staying at the Shangri-La but I was neck deep in work, so I could not manage to hobby at all. A shame. On Friday I shifted out of Shangri-La and took up battle station at Gramercy. Friday night, I started early at around 8:30 pm with PlanB. Still slow, girls milling about, just a couple of other Asian customers in the bar. I got a beer and watched the bar fill up for a while. And then called over a girl named Mica. As soon as she came to the table the waitress started hounding me for a lady drink. I replied I will ask the girl a couple of questions and then decide to buy. And Mica failed at the first question. If I take you out, what time do you want to leave tomorrow? Her reply was 4:00 am. That is it, I sent her back and settled my bill, as I did not see anything else. Walked over to Kojax. Went in and got seated to the right of the stage, immediately spotted a cute girl sitting at the front of the stage. Called her over. No pressure here for drinks. Gisele answered the first 2 questions to satisfaction, so LD 1 arrives. After a while she gets frisky and LD 2 is down. At this point I ask the waitress to call the mamasan. Quick chat on pricing and the deal is done. Out of the bar and back to Gramercy. Everything on the menu and taken up in copious quantity. She left Saturday morning at 11:00 am.

I slept a bit more and then by 2:00 pm stepped out for some grub. Hung out for a few beers at Rogues after lunch, and there wasn't a single girl there that was worth looking at. Played some pool with an American who has just retired 3 months back and is trying to set up a business here. It was interesting to hear him vent his frustrations over the process. While at Rogues, I started looking at the dating apps. Soon I got a few matches and one named Mina seemed interesting. Stepped out of Rogues at 4:30 pm and did a video call with Mina. In less than 30 minutes she was in my apartment. She also gave me a really good massage. Once Mina left I went over to LA Cafe for nostalgia sake. Bad decision. Just a royal waste of time and money. Returned to the apartment in less than 2 hours.

Shit, shower, shave. Walked over to PlanB again and this time the place was buzzing. Soon I spotted a girl I liked and called her over. Megan was not exactly frisky in the bar but she passed the interview questions, so I paid the barfine and took her back. And in the room she was not the most responsive candidate I have picked in Makati. I could even call it a starfish experience. Disappointing, what a waste of talent. Great face, killer body, lovely attitude, good conversationalist but passive in bed.

Being my last night, I could not let this ruin my party, so I sent Megan back around midnight. She was quite confused why I was sending her back, but did not complain. After she left I went to Kojax again. This time I picked a girl named Pamela and returned to the apartment by 2:00 am. Pamela, in contrast, was a total firecracker and stayed till 10:00 am on Sunday.

After Pamela left I went down to the pool and relaxed a bit. Again hit up a few matches on Tinder. I had to leave for the airport by 5 pm so I had a few hours to spare. Invited a cute spinner named Mitch and had a couple of hours of good fun.

Flights were delayed, so finally took off and hour later than the scheduled time. And can't wait to return to the Phils.

Here is a transcript of the chat I was having with her.

Me: So what time can you come here? (this is around 11 am).
Mitch: I be there by 1 pm babe (she was supposed to arrive from Bangkal).
Me: Ok. No worries. I am at Gramercy Residences. You take a taxi and ask the guy to bring you here.
Mitch: Ok. See you.
Me: Message me when you get here. I will step out to eat something now, I am hungry.
Mitch: What worries? And where you go eat? I go shower now.
Me: Ok. Come fast.

45 minutes pass and no message. I go grab a Subway in the meantime.

Me: Hey, are you on the way?
Mitch: Yeah on the way babe.
Me: Good. Taxi guy knows the place?
Mitch: Wait, I find taxi now.
Me: You have not found taxi yet? (WTF? How is she on the way then?

30 minutes pass and no message.

Mitch: Hey, I am near na now. Where are you.
Me: Good, I am in the apartment. Where are you exactly?
Mitch: I am here na in Makati Avenue corner Kalaayan.
Me: So ask the driver to bring you to Gramercy Residences.
Mitch: He does not know.
Me: This must be the first taxi driver in Manila who does not know what or where Gramercy Residences is. (WTF? How is this possible?
Me: Ok here is the exact address. (I send Google Maps location).
Mitch: I have got off taxi. How to come there?
Me: Wait exactly where you are now. And tell me what shops you see around you.
Mitch: 7/11.
Me: So many 7/11 pa. Any other shop? (Really! Fuck my life!)
Mitch: Wait I ask the traffic enforcer.
Me: I am coming down, tell me names of 4 shops in a row.
Mitch: OK, I see City Garden Hotel.
Me: Don't move another step. I am almost there. (Thanking my stars).

Finally I meet Mitch and I look at my watch. It is almost 2. 15 pm. Not bad I say to myself. I still got a couple of good hours.

Phew! Got to love these little cuties.

We've written about this issue many times (ie, the girl saying that she is on the way, or nearby your place, when in fact she is just out of the shower at her home). Should there be a separate thread for Newb Reading?

This was weird, maybe some others have had this happen to them. I am in Makati and had a date arranged with a young lady meeting me in hotel at 9 am. At 7:30 am she texted me saying her 3 month old baby had to come with her because she had no formula and baby is on breast. I told her No. She asked Why? I told her it was illegal to have child uder 18 in my room. She said it was no problem because baby would sleep while we engaged. I said No. She did not give up. Please please please. I stayed firm thinking she would find an alternative but to no avail. First of ALL I am not comfortable banging mommy with baby in same room only 8 feet away. Must be some moral hangup I have, Secondly I am thinking remote possibility but this is perhaps a sting bc I have never met this girl and I cannot afford to be involved in. Her last text to me was, Can we meet in mall and you give me the chocolate, Unbelievable. Sorry dear, Bye.

My strategy is to cast a wide net and remove any and all that give me the slightest reason to do so. (3 months postpartum would be grounds for me to have passed on her.).

It's only if you are alone in the room with someone under 18.
