Manila

[QUOTE=RadicalGuy;1633517]I was under the impression that most of the beef served in the Philippines is imported from Australia. And the beef I've had in the Philippines is terrible. But I might be mistaken, as I have never actually tried beef in Australia, or officially sold as such. So, no offense intended to my Aussie brothers. .

RG.[/QUOTE]The best beef served in the Philippines is from Japan, and it's rarely available. BTW, there is a butcher on Pasong Tamo across the street from Makati (formerly Cinema) Square named Kitayama that sells Philippine-raised Kobe (technically wagyu) beef, and it is excellent. The beef is graded and priced using the Japanese grading system, but instead of 5 quality grades they have 8 or 9. A lot of the Aussie beef is grass fed rather than US-style grain fed. It is a stronger taste. If you cook at home pick up the Meltique brand Aussie rib eyes. It's about p1500 per kilo. Another good place to pick up high-quality beef is at Santi's Deli.

Best chain-restaurant ribs in Manila are at Racks. Their sauces are phenomenal, especially the spicy one.

I agree facebook can give you a better impression of the girls. I am not here to relationship them girls so I don't care so much what their facebook tells. But for the pics it is a great resource. And please be adviced (you probably know allready) that girls as well have fake accounts. I know one girl she is running 4 accounts from which 3 are fake and very few get insights in her family, boyfriend and provincial account. Their normal setup is atleast having 2 (one fake). The fake one they put out all sorts of trouble and indirectly hints for money trouble, they want relationship and all sorts of shit. I guess they try play our softsides. And many succeeds as it is a lot of gullible guys out there. It is finacialy smart to use this angel i guess. The genuine account often tell they are happy, they have child, BF and the hole lot. Quite different from the fake one (almost like my own but in another way if you catch my drift, hehe). I feast for students.

Anyway great report.[/QUOTE]Yes you are absolutely correct in girls having multiple accounts. That's ok for me, all I care about is that I get to see the photos. That way I'm not surprised by fake photos or old photos when they used to look better which can happen on dating sites. Also great because I have now found couple girls who are willing to recruit "mutual friends" and such for me for a small fee.

Dumb question slightly off topic: how do you set up a fake Face Book account? Currently I have nothing to do with Face Book and that is the way I will keep it unless I can set up a fake.

More details:

To open a facebook page all you need is a valid email address.

So go some place an create a new email. (yahoo, gmail, etc.) don't use any real information when creating the new email.

When registering / opening the new facebook , do not use a nickname or handle that you use elsewhere. example my first ISG name was something like QwertyTommy (not the name I used), and I used that name for email, facebook, ym, etc.. if someone googled the name QwertyTommy, they could quickly gather a lot of info about me.

Once the new facebook is created, do not befriend any real life friends, relatives, coworkers, or non-mongers on this account.

Do not use photos that are used elsewhere, search engines can now find duplicates photos from multiple web sites.

[/QUOTE]I believe both yahoo and gmail require a (mobile) phone number to be provided when creating an account nowadays.

That is true, but it's not necessarily a sinister scam. If it is, a look around will expose it. Does the friends list include only foreign men? Then it's not her real Facebook. But in my experience, they open a new account when they feel they have outgrown the old one. She doesn't like the name she used, or other details, or some of the friends, or the photos, etc. Maybe there was a stalker or unpleasant conversation. Too many Indian and Muslim guys begging. Starting a new account is the easiest way out. Often you can find the old account by searching the nickname. Often she will "friend" the previous account. Most of them are not clever enough to really hide the truth. And to be fair, it can take me a while to use new programs, with all my education.

[QUOTE=Cbea20;1633671]Often you can find the old account by searching the nickname. Often she will "friend" the previous account. [/QUOTE]I've found they often spell their names backwards when establishing their new or secret account. Of course each time you catch her she becomes a little brighter, a little shrewder. Baby steps become more confident, faster, and bolder. Then one day it may dawn on you: Heavens! I trained my very own monster.

If you're devoting a lot time and effort investigating a girl it seems to me the relationship's foundation is very unstable; it's best to walk away. Unlikely she'll change her deceptive ways. One really doesn't need that grief.

Good points. But I ask you, if you eliminate the sneaky ones, what are you left with?

RG.

What I'd give for a good burger from the Weber sometimes. It's been over a year.

Yeah, sounds like he has a beef to grind with Aussie cows!

[QUOTE=CoolTraveler;1635116]Yeah, sounds like he has a beef to grind with Aussie cows![/QUOTE]I'm not so sure that sentiment originates with RG. Seems like many of the board's Oz faithful are chasing Philly fillies precisely because they have given up on their own old Aussie cows.
