Enough is Enough Good Enough
Hahahaha back to topic. In USA right for work and not returning until after the holidays. It'll be an interesting read on the streets in Angeles after the holidays. That city can change by day to day or week to week. Especially in this political climate.
Living in A. C vs Thailand
hey guys!
i have a ton of questions about heading out to a. c. as a possibility to living there. i've mongered many times in costa rica and colombia (and lived there a bit as well) and now in thailand at the moment. i've always wanted to check out a. c, and while i understand that it is a big grungy there, i do see some expats living there. i love athletic girl types. like fitness competitor types, or the gymnast body hard body.
i have been emailing back and forth a poster in another expat forum (and he used to post at the h. a. forums too) and we got into a good email discussion on living in bangkok vs angeles city or basically thailand vs philippines. what is cool is that he likes the same girls that i like. i might head on over to angeles city in about two months from now and check it out.
i took much of his answers from his email and did a tiny bit of editing. with his permission (though he is not interesting in being a member here) i want to post this.
i asked him basically.
1. where is it cheaper to live?
2. is it hard to find athletic type girls, like having some muscle on their lower body, thick strong legs with a nice ass but with no bellies?
3. how are non pros vs pros.
4. is it easy to find a cheap place to live that is furnished (small studio) with ac that is less than $200 a month. he didn't go into this though.
5. what about the stereotype of food being bad and nothing to do?
here is it below, this after a few emails and a bit of editing to make it fit. this is why it is long.
thanks for the welcome. as to your questions.
i don't look at thailand vs philippines as to see which one is better. i see them what is the best possible option depending on circumstance.
for me it was the actual cost of living and my sex addiction that chose angeles over say bkk. yes, i am a sex addict at the age of 50.
this does not mean angeles city is better to live than bkk.
i tell my friends to live in bkk due to better infrastructure, cleaner streets, better food, safety, daily activities, etc. this is with the assumption you are pulling at least a grand per month in us dollars.
right now my income is roughly between $400 as a low to $650-$700 as a high. trying to live in bkk on $500-$550 / month is rather difficult.
throw in the factor for my sex addiction and it makes things that much harder.
i have heard people living on $600 a month in bkk but they are barely making it. i tried it and while i had a decent studio with aircon, food was pretty good, it was just no fun trying. i'm not even including the ridiculous visa runs which adds up the expense overall than say a. c.
in angeles city it's pretty easy to get by with $600 a month and have sex a few times a week with attractive girls. once you live in a. c. you know where to find the cheaper bar girls and have the patience to scope the beauties. also girls in a. c. aren't as sexually repressive as they are in many places in thailand and even bkk. obviously you can get a non-pro in bkk but the effort is much higher than a. c. i've had sex with many non-pros over the past couple years in a. c. when i was living in bkk, i did manage to get with a few non-pros but nowhere near the rate as a. c.
you mentioned that many guys see girls in thailand more attractive than girls in philippines. define attractive. thai girls (or bkk) are more photogenic than girls in a. c. or their faces look more cute? i agree. more classy? i would have to agree. now lets get to the flip-side.
you stated that you love the athletic gymnast type body. a girl that is pretty lean but with a muscle bubble butt i'm guessing? a. c. has more of that. and those are my type too. filipino girls are chubbier than thai girls on average. tons of clubs and people in general have a pot-belly which is a turn off. thai girls tend to have a slim waist. but what a. c. has in the bars or in general are girls that have more hard rock asses. it is easy to venture into different clubs and find several of these athletic girls. some look like fitness types. once and awhile a few look like light weight bodybuilder types (in a feminine way).
i'm a body guy as much as you are. many times and nights in soi cowboy or nana i would have to go through at least 8-10 different clubs just to find one thai girl with a bubble butt. in a. c. i can go to no more than two clubs and find several of them. not only would i find them but they are more open, fun to engage in, and sexual than the bkk girl.
back to the subject of where to live. if you like going out and walking around the city, trying different foods and checking out places, bkk beats a. c. (or manilla) hands down. this is why in general i tend to recommend bkk over say a. c. it is true about a. c. it is dirty, smelly, noisy, polluted and the good food is hard to find. bkk or thailand in general is easier to accommodate to a guy coming from the western world. it ia also easier to set up shop. not hard to find monthly / 3 month contracts in bkk with aircon for a good price.
go to a 7-11 in bkk and go to a 7-11 anywhere in philippines and you will see what i mean.
most people lives are not centered around sex like mine. many people want 'normal' lives or one that is similar to where they lived in the west.
bkk has awesome shopping malls. just walking around for exercise and grabbing a smoothie is fun while scoping out thai girls.
i have adjusted to the seedy and ragginess of a. c. in other words, even though it look kinda ugly in general in comparison to many places in the world, i have gotten used to that and is now ingrained as just another day in reality. it does not bother me at all. as for food in a. c, once you live here for awhile, you know where to go for healthier options. there are bbq grills rep001tered around that grill seafood-chicken or whatever for you. go shopping and prepare your own meals.
at the end of the day, i do go to bkk every year since it has its own set of positives. it just that a. c. is my mainstay. and yes, i have visited other places in philippines, but i love the fact that i have the option of seeing over a thousand busty type girls in one night in my back pocket.
some people in the us live for work. some people live for work and sports (like nfl fanatics.) some people live for their children and family which is wonderful. some people live just to take it easy. i live for sex. the funny thing is that once i bang a girl i lose my interest in sex and i start think 'ahhh, sex is overrated, i should do something more with my life. ' thoughts. then the next day i get horny again and want to seek the next ass.
speaking of relationships, girlfriends, and one night stands and just girls in general, remember to be strong yet kind to these girls.
i made a huge mistake when i travelled to thailand which was repeated in a. c. i fell head over heels for a girl that worked as a music producer at first which i got tired about a month later. during this time i met her family whom happen to be very nice. the problem was that the family always wanted to be with me. and this was an upscale family who didn't need my money. they loved my company. also my girlfriend always wanted to hang out with the family and it just got tiring. there were talks about getting more serious, what i thought about marriage and if i want to have kids (i was 44 at the time). yuck.
when a girl gets attached to you, it makes seeking other girls that much harder. this happened many times in the past. you meet a girl that is funny, charming, and has an ass that resembles a boulder with a tight stomach and you fall in love. then a month later, it is just not as fun being with girl or having sex. then at the corner of your eye you spot a hot girl. but you can't do nothing because now you got the family involved and this girl is thinking about marriage and long term in the back of her head.
i finally put an end to this. for pros and non-pros. at random times, you will have a pro or non-pro that wants to be with your company more than what you intended for. sometimes for very long times.
there are few ways to go about this. one is to make up that you have a girlfriend already (or married) but that your girlfriend is away for a month.
or you can be honest with your intentions after sex. say that you love their company, and want to see them again, but that you are very busy and want to have an open relationship. you would think many girls would hate this? wrong. it does screen out some chicks but you will be surprised how many girls will go along.
i have yet to be kidnapped or tied to a chair from a jealous girl. yes, there will be jealousy issues but at least they know what their boundaries are. also make it clear that you love filipino culture and filipino people, but don't like to socialize much with family being introverted.
you asked about hobbies? you have a laptop don't you? use the internet. don't you young guys have playstations to use? you mentioned you like to be active. join a basketball league or help run one. maybe be a coach for a kids team. take some dance lessons.
for saving money, surf the net and walk a bit for some exercise. not sure what you do for a living or how you get money but this is the way to go.
