[QUOTE=TooDirty;2827370]To me the most attractive part of "Latina" is how they sound when they speak English. If she sounds like "Salma Hayek" it's on! Doesn't hurt to look like her too. It's my one problem with Thai girls, the unpleasant sound in English. So where, if anywhere, in Philippines do the girls sound like Spanish was their natural language before speaking English?[/QUOTE]Nowhere. Spanish isn't even taught in schools here.

GE.

Hey fellas. Do any of you meet girls on Facebook. What groups or what method do you use to find girls on FB?

[QUOTE=Revrez;2827608]Hey fellas. Do any of you meet girls on Facebook. What groups or what method do you use to find girls on FB?[/QUOTE]I gave up on FB for first meet ups or point of contact. Trying to find MaryJane from Cebu amongst the 10,000 other MaryJanes was just too hard. I also didn't like FB's habit of potentially embarrassing recommendations to my friends and family. If you're ok with these, it can be a very good source of known girls' friends and family.

There are Girls for Foreigner type groups but they are typically truly horrific. The group members aligned with cities or clubs would be a better bet.

Good luck. G.

[QUOTE=Revrez;2827608]Hey fellas. Do any of you meet girls on Facebook. What groups or what method do you use to find girls on FB?[/QUOTE]If you're looking for "pay for play" girls search for "WALK" or "WALKER" groups (slang for professional hookers). Some of these girls ask for ridiculous money like 5-10 k for short time. Lowball and stick to your price and they will likely still go for it.

If you're looking for casual hookups, search for "pinay or filipinas looking for foreigner" groups. If you are a White guy or "afam" in local slang, you will not have a hard time looking for a 1-2 week girlfriend.

GE.[/QUOTE]In further research, their language has some Spanish influence in it after 333 years of Spanish rule. [URL]https://livexp.com/blog/filipino-and-spanish/?utm_source=blog-en&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=%2Fblog%2Ffilipino-and-spanish%2F[/URL].

...and WestCoast1 schooled me some about the subject too.

A subset of Spanish words are still leftover. Possibly 10-ish% of the language (s) is Spanish. However Spanish is not taught in school as a complete and separate language. Those words still in existence here are considered part of the local tongue and are taught in school as are other words (some Malay / other polynesian, or some English). The local tongue in each area (ie Tagalog, Cebuano, Bisaya) will have differing mixes of these, and are considered complete dialects in and of themselves. The local tongue is learned from birth in the home as in any other country. English is taught in school as a separate language starting in grade 1 or 2, I believe.

Of the subset of Spanish words, they are often spelled as they sound in your ear (phonetically). The Spanish trabajo (your job) is often spelled in Phils as trabaho. The Spanish quiet J sounds like an H, thus the spelling. The Spanish guapo (handsome, like Westy) might be spelled as gwapo. The Spanish como estas (how are you) is spelled as kumusta (or such, as it sounds like como esta) and might be shortened to 'musta'.

Everyone here learns 3 sets of numbers: One, two, three; un, dos, tres; and esa, delawa, tatlo (Tagalog). Or usa / usi, duha, tulo (Cebuano). Or esi (to my ear), duha, tulo (Bisaya). Regardless of dialect, everyone understands those as English, Spanish, and their local tongue. While a cebuano here might not understand that delawa (Tagalog) means '2', everyone here understands that dos (Spanish) means '2'. Its a strange mix.

A lot of Spanish is simply missing here. If you try to strike up a conversation here in Spanish, you will befuddle most pinoy. There is a group of pinoy in NW Mindanao called Badiao that speak very good Spanish as their native dialect (Bisaya is second for them). Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Noted but I'm not white. I'm colored.

I am colored too, been to Philippines few times. Filipinos are very uninformed about world most of them. When I say, I am from USA, they don't believe me.

But money talks, even you are white guy you will have hard time scoring the working class good girls unless you are exceptionally good looking guy with blonde hair and blue eyes.

If you you built up relationship online before you go which is a lot of work.

If you can pay, you will have not much issue getting girls from LA cafe or malls.

Hey fellow monger.

I have tried to RTFF but have not found many consildated answers. The back story is this:

I've been playing around with a 22 year old Uni student for about the last year and I promised her to take her out to a Gogo bar next weekend. Since I have not been to one since the late 90's I really have no clue where to take her.

Can anyone please enlighten this old monger on the current situation and whereabouts of the Gogo bar scene in Makati / Manila are.

TIA.

GC.

If I had to pick just one now I’d probably say Lips.

GC.[/QUOTE]Ahem GC. From the first two pages of the Makati thread (where the P Burgos St gogo bars have been for decades). The first is a description of Lips and Maison. The second is Muttley's current map of the Burgos area bars, resto's, hotels and coffee shops. The last is my update on Burgos bars with locations and pictures.

Take her to any of those gogos on Burgos. Or, take her to LA Cafe in Ermita (del Pilar St, corner Salas St) on a Friday / Saturday evening (150-200 freelancers available, with live band upstairs).

[QUOTE=Betong;2828047]If I had to pick just one now Id probably say Lips.[/QUOTE]I'the second this, excellent shout. Seen quite a few civilian girls in there with partners. GC. Lips is on Badajos, one of side roads off P. Burgos. The Gogo is upstairs.

Another option would be V8 on P. Burgos.

From Global Citizen's most recent posts: All questions. Good luck finding solid FR's.

[QUOTE=GlobalCitizen;2210368]Can anyone tell me if there are swinger's clubs in HCMC such as the FKK in Germany?

Thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=GlobalCitizen;2204907]Will be coming to HCMC with my girlfriend late August and would like to know if there are spas for couples that offer extra service.

Are bi-sexual women common in Vietnam amongst working girls?

I will be coming to Cebu on Oct 20th and will be staying at the Marco Polo. Can someone tell me if there are massage parlors that provide FS around this hotel?

Thanks in advance. P.S. If anyone is in town, love to buy you a beer in exchange for the lay of the land.[/QUOTE]GC: My vote for gogo would be Lips, Maison, or V8. Now that we've tossed out some ideas, please write us a descriptive field report of your upcoming adventure.
