[QUOTE=Simmer;1932802]How is Badoo and Tagged compared to Tinder for you, if you have tried the latter? I'm new to this online matching up thing. Spent about 3 hours on Tinder for the first time last night idly swiping and ended up with 3 matches. One was a mistake, an easy thing to do with an app (Android) that hangs for a second frequently so you end up doing something you didn't intend to. I let that conversation die. Another offered "sexy massage" after the greetings so I asked whether she was looking for, um, educational fee assistance. She straight up said yes but then it turned a bit whiny, woe is me kind of thing. She wanted $100 but told her no way. But she looked good in the photos so maybe I'll rekindle that one if she agrees to half that price (2300 PHP roughly). I know you lot would get a lower price but I'd spend a lot more around here in bars, or on taxis+room+girl for FL168 or MBC, whereas this one would come straight to my room. Girl #3, also hot and in her early 20's, wanted to come to my room but denied wanting financial contributions for her studies. Am meeting her later (outside first) but the vibes I'm getting is that it won't be free either. What I don't want to happen is for her to come back to my AirBnB apartment, do the deed, demand $100 or something stupid, and then kick up a fuss if I refuse that much (again, I don't mind paying some but not that much).
Stay tuned. Though if no update in 24 hours may mean something didn't go right!
Also tried mingle2 but not getting any responses. Too chickenshit to upload a picture which is probably why, lest significant others find out somehow. Had to upload one for Tinder but at least that one you have to sign up to see anything.[/QUOTE]Never tried Tinder. Badoo is a gold mine, although they have recently changed it so you cannot set your location manually. At least with the latest version I have not figured out how to do it yet. When travelling I would set my location to my next destination a few days in advance and let the contacts come to me. Much in the same way I make them come to my hotel, rather than me going to them. I'm not fighting 'trappic' in Manila or wherever in the world I am at the time.
Tagged I have written about before, it is a bit of a unknown quantity here, but I have had good luck on it. It allows you to browse girls by location, and to set your location manually. I am finding Phils girls very wary of punters not in the Phils already, so setting my location to my next city and filtering through the incoming messages works best for me.
You are mad to pay $100, most girls will accept 1500 pesos but you need to be prepared to negotiate and to walk away from the ones that don't accept. Offer a tip for good performance, that way you are not locked into a price for poor performance. I am pretty blunt when dealing with the girls, I don't have a lot of spare time when I am on the ground, so I need to sort the wheat from the chaff pretty quickly. I'm sure I have discarded a few gems, but they are everywhere in the Phils, just move on to the next one.
