Spaceman[/QUOTE]Thanks, it's always more fun in the Phils! But keep in mind that my picking up a lady at Greenbelt at 10:30 in the morning was a fluke. The mall's usually devoid of FL's at that time of the day.

Was this an attempted setup?

I was in ermita and leave swagman hotel, killing some time and never having been there I decide to walk around around head left and then left again and a guy comes up starts talking to me and offers me girls, I have no interest in a girl at that point but I'm curious and ask if he means a casa he says yes, his opening price is 1500 I ask if he thinks I could do 1200 he said probably, I tell him I'm not interested right now but I start walking in the area he said it was just to see if I could figure out where it was, he comes with and says its right down that street and tries to get me to go, I say no thanks just walking and he finally leaves.

I walk another 20 or so meters past an SUV where 2 cops stop me and ask me what me and the guy were talking about, I tell them he was trying to talk me into to doing something I didn't want, they ask where I'm from I tell them one of them wants to question me more but the other one stops him and tells me to have a nice stay in PI.

They were parked facing away from the street I would have walked down but when looking in mirrors they had a great view of that guy leading anyone to it.

Thoughts? I'm glad I didn't get curious about what the girls looked like (or let me dick take control) and go in for a look thats for sure.

Well its hard to tell if it was a setup or not. My rule of thumb is if someone approaches me and offers anything I always say no thanks and move on. That eliminates alot of scams right there. They can be very good at their craft.

[QUOTE=Dante2;1404516]Was this an attempted setup?[/QUOTE]I doubt it. A lot of people in that area will offer to take you to the places around there that have women for offer. Most of the places are small and don't have the greatest of quality but sometimes you find a gem. Whatever he quotes you he makes a commission if you take someone from the place. At the price he quoted you, he would have got like 500 if you took someone for that price.

If anyone comes up to you on those streets, it can't be good. Just ignore them and keep walking, at the most say no thanks and keep walking

these girls are on the low category but sometimes some medium grade girls are available. hygiene is suspect because the do bb sex with locals probably do not take shower after each client.

i had gone to one casa and looked at the girls but did not take one. there was one cute young girl in tattered clothes obviously ****.

for me this place was accidentally found when i was talking to the lady selling mangoes. she seemed trustworthy as i was buying mangoes from her every day and she suggested i take a look.

ofcourse if i did take a girl she would get her cut.

regarding the questions cops talked to you about usually has something to do with corruption. they want to squeeze the guy for some money in case he gets his cut. certainly they are not into busting the casa.

usually these local casas have political higher connection.

for a foreigner it is not worth the risk when all sorts of girls are available at mbc etc nearby. remember prostitution is illegal in phi.

Hello FF.

Why would you ask that question?

Why do some people pay close to $1mill for a Rolls Royce, when they can have an ordinary Holden, which is just as functional, and costs a very lot less to operate?

Why do some people choose to fly first class, when they can get to the same place, in the same time, for a fraction of the price?

Why do some guys in Paris, or London, or New York think nothing of paying $10, 000 for a night of fun with a high class escort, when the same fun can be had with an ordinary hooker for a fraction of the price?

Sofia is just appealing to the higher priced segment of the market. Which would appear to not be your market.

And maybe she does not understand that the focus in this forum is on low to very low cost poon.

[QUOTE=FreebieFan; 1403362]So you are comfortable with two tier pricing?

Regardless of how classy she is, do you enjoy paying more than someone else because of skin colour or nationality. Do you enjoy knowing you are being hosed.

She started this entire discussion amongst us because of her " foreigner" price.

I think we care less about her price, which most of us can easily afford, than about her "well your not from here so you can pay twice what others pay" approach.

Imagine if San Miguel (bless him) had a pricing model of 22pesos for Filipinos and p40 for the rest of the world. What might your reaction be?

Imagine if Shell, McDo, Harrods or Cathay Pacific did that.

Its the two tier pricing structure that has attracted a lot of attention as its so blatant and discriminatory.

I couldn't give two figs whether she's hot or can discuss the workings of the internal combustion engine. The fact is that she thinks its appropriate to charge 100% for us based on our passports.

I truly wish she would get rich and go to my country. On stepping off the plane is told "welcome to England". Please note as a Filipina you are required to pay double for everything. Have a great stay".

By the way, most diplomats don't have two jiou to rub together. Their salaries are truly low and they must pay full rate taxes. They just live in their own self important world. US Ambassadorial salaries range from US$120K to US$180k.

Deduct 40% to 50% for tax and its not such a large amount.

But maybe just enough for Sofia with her "pay me double the pinoy" rates. LOL.[/QUOTE]

[quote=gangles;1404755]why do some people choose to fly first class, when they can get to the same place, in the same time, for a fraction of the price?[/quote]first of all, f (first) is not so common these days, except on some routes. but if you (would) fly business regularly you are surely aware of that. now i can think of several good reasons for choosing business over cattle class: if it's an overnight i get good sleep, can choose decent food and drink from a menu, get loads of ff miles and, maybe most important, i will feel much more comfortable with my trip before, during and after. to sum it up it's a truly premium experience, for which i pay a premium price.

[quote=gangles;1404755]sofia is just appealing to the higher priced segment of the market.[/quote]well, the homely looking escort with her discriminatory pricing does not appeal to me at all. give me a country bumpkin who will appreciate a few blue notes for "spaghetti, milk, [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord131][CodeWord131][/url]" anytime. that's my business class ride, but hey it's a free world, why don't you go ahead gangles and try out your rolls royce escort and report back. i'm always ready to change my mind, should you report some hidden values in racist nurse sex.

An American professional basketball player, a prized import who led the Rain or Shine team to a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) crown last year, was thrown into jail early Wednesday for insulting and attacking a team of policemen who came to arrest him for causing a disturbance at a Quezon City hotel.

Out of the 10 policemen who rushed to the hotel, one was reportedly knocked unconscious by a punch from the 6'5' Jamelle Cornley. 25.

Before the arrest, police said, Cornley went on a drunken rampage at Sir William's Hotel on Timog Avenue in Barangay South Triangle around 6 am This was after three female companions with whom he had earlier checked in allegedly stole his wallet containing his 'savings' worth $1, 400[/QUOTE]'I am concerned about losing the money I painstakingly saved. What is embarrassing is what I should tell my mother about this, ' he said, adding that he was scheduled to fly home to Columbus, Ohio, on Easter Sunday.

I guess he didn't make that flight. He probably wouldn't be hiding his wallet filled with his life savings under the pillow with 3 hookers while he takes a shower again.

All passport, jewellery, watch, expensive phone, wallet, dollars should be locked up.

i shoved him to the floor but he acted as if i had hit him. i saw him lift his head several times and take a peek. when everybody was looking and bringing him to the hospital, he pretended to be knocked out, ' cornley said.

G[/QUOTE]Sorry but the point was missed.

She's selling the same product with two differing prices. Not two different products.

Its like me paying one price for business class and you, having had your passort reviewed, being told to pay a totally (100% higher price).

Thats discriminatory pricing. That was the point. Anyways said gal has now left the building

Fifty when I saw your post I thought it might be the same guy in the video below but its a different thug. The link below is Renaldo Balkman who was banned from the Philippines Pro Basketball league for life from his on the court outburst.

[QUOTE=Jp Slicky;1404643]If anyone comes up to you on those streets, it can't be good. Just ignore them and keep walking, at the most say no thanks and keep walking[/QUOTE]Just a comment on this and regards to my post before that the person was probably trying to walk you to some of the small casas around there to make some money. I've been mongering for awhile and I rarely ever go with anyone like this. I happened to do it a couple of times in Ermita to see the places they were recommending for future references. I never went in a car with either. I think for the most part, it's best to not go with anyone like that. I've traveled for quite awhile and feel I have a good gut instinct. Most of these places we went, I didn't find anyone. Most will always take you to the same places there. They're not all that close so it can feel a little scary. I always knew where I was so I felt ok and knew I can get away and which way I could go. If it didn't feel right, I could back out anytime.

My very first time going, this woman took me to a place and I found a real winner. I ended up seeing her multiple times on multiple trips. I was able to go to the casa on my own and find her after learning where it was. That for me was worth it. As much as someone may tell you this place is here or there, they're not all that easy to find even then. I still saw this one even after she was no longer at the casa. I went to this same one again after she stopped, and took another one and she ended up being a dud. I've been back on occasion but most of the time nothing was interesting to me.

As much as I can understand most people saying that all these people are up to no good like the above poster mentioned, I have to disagree. These people were trying to make a buck by taking me to these places and hoping to make a commission. I think for the most part that's all those people are trying to do there in Ermita. It's not an outright robbery or anything like that or a setup. They have nothing to loose. BUT I do understand why people would be scared or thinking that. I really do. And for the most part, I think it's best to not especially if you do not have a lot of experience or common sense. That's kind of messed up but for most it's probably not worth it. I was lucky to find the one I did on my first try and I've been lucky at the casas in Makati also. But I didn't get there on my own. Someone had to take me there for my first time for me to know and it wasn't a foreigner it was a local. Can there be stings or setups? Absolutely! As I said, for most I don't recommend it. I have never gone with anyone in Angeles where I think it's more likely to be bad vs what someone in Ermita is trying to do.
