Feeling like "Forest Gump"
Okay, I have been to Manila more than a few times, but being a creature of habit, I tend to limit my activities to two locations. I either go to Makati. Where I have pretty good success at Havana or MBC, which is well reviewed. I have also done The Burgos thing, but stay as far from there as I can now, do to outrageous prices and underwhelming service, at least in my experience. So this is the issue, I need to stay near the airport this time. In fact I am staying at the Airport Hotel, which is about as close as you can get. The original plan was to arrive about 2 am and be on the road with my friends by 9 or 10 the next morning when everyone arrived. Well the plan went awry and now I am stuck until early afternoon, and I am arrive about 8 pm the night before.
I have read about Star Fleet and Air Force One. I know they are more expensive than Havana or MBC, but I think they are closely located to the airport. I have heard about the EDSA entertainment complex, but have never been there. I have seen a road near the bay / USA embassy that seems to have a lot of clubs, or at least KTV; s along it as I was headed out of town to AC from Manila, but never stopped. I tried to search the forum, but here comes the Forest Gump thing. The only search results I can get are more than 2 years old almost. I know there are more recent posts, heck I saw a post today that mentioned Star Fleet, but it didn't show up when I did the search. I recall it being said that the girls at those places tend to worth the extra charges.
I an willing to accept that I am not much when it comes to computer stuff. But geez. I am just trying to find a place I can go and convince an attractive lass to come with me back to my hotel room (first choice) or use her facility. I don't want to waste an evening stashed in my hotel room.
I am open to suggestions or if someone could share the search technique, I would gladly RTFF. I know all the info is here.
TIA.

Freebie, are you talking about your girls or the general population?
[QUOTE=FreebieFan; 1468596]Dunno where you are looking for the ladies Ronnie, but I don't see or talk to any who are more than 50 kgs and I have an impressive batting average.
The current 3 regualrs that I see are 39kgs, (has a 20 inch waist) 42kg and for variety. 45. Yes there are some short squat stocky (" I'm chubby but lovely" types) , but they are generally not to be seen on PB or even Edsa. And yeah the housewives surely do attract the Jollibee belly with their need to eat 5 meals a days. But the young ladies. Generally not chubby at all.[/QUOTE]I'd say in Manila, the super skinny crowd is getting thinner and thinner (no pun intended). Perhaps the mall isn't the best example, but if you goto SM Makati and look at the employees, you don't find the skinny crowd to be the wide majority. I really think the diet has had a huge impact on pinays. I must confess that I have only lived in Manila for the past three years, but this has been my observation. Yes, skinny girls can be found, but they aren't the norm.
One more possibility near the airport

I discovered it by accident in March when I spent a short hotel night there before an early morning flight departure. My squeeze was with me, so I eye-balled the women and bars by walking behind my squeeze, pretending to "let her go first."
Airport Road is a one-way street only about a dozen blocks long. It intersects Roxas between NAIA Road and EDSA, but it is one-way the wrong way, so you can't turn onto it from Roxas. Some cab drivers may not know it exists. It is a continuation of Andrews Avenue, which is the road that goes past Terminal Three. Heading west from Terminal Three Andrews becomes one-way and is named Airport Road as you cross a bridge over a canal that separates Pasay City from Paranaque.
You can get there from the Manila Airport Hotel by heading away from Terminal One, turn right on Aquino Avenue, then left at NAIA Road. Turn on Quirino, the second major street to the right, and just past the canal (Paranaque River, I think). Airport Road is the first substantial cross street on Quirino; I think there's a traffic light. Airport Road is one-way to your left. There are several clubs and parlors in that section to the left. I didn't venture into the area off to the right of that intersection.
Perhaps some of the expats can comment as to safety in these places. CS lives not far away. The danger in some bars is that locals do not welcome foreigners, even if the girls will take all cummers. If I were uncertain I would lean toward the massage parlors, since there are not likely to be drinking locals hanging around inside. But I welcome input from anybody with more knowledge of the area.
You can check this all out on Google maps, complete with street names. You do not need to be a computer whiz. BTW, the Manila Airport Hotel, if that is where you are staying, is better for short time than long time, because many rooms have two twin beds rather than double beds.
