Online dating is so powerful, it cannot be stressed enough. Cold approaches are not for every country. People are paranoid and feel less safe in general due to globalization and economic instability. Not to mention, why make attempts in open space in a place like China, where there might be only 1 in 2000 in a 10 sq mile radius, that qualify for my standards? The internet collects them all and makes it like shooting fish in a barrel. For me seeing a physically PERFECT woman for my tastes and constantly getting let down, tends to agitate me an d affect my self esteem.Rock wrote:Good question. I've had some decent luck with meeting middle class types and non-gold digging poorer types via cherry picking online. Back when u were living there, all I did was make short visits to Metro Manila and Angeles and make a handful of cold approaches. I don't think Phils. is so good for cold approaching but using dating sites and perhaps networks of friends can yield some results. I've been particularly impressed with the English and intellectual level of some of the Pinays I've had the pleasure to know.Winston wrote:If I thought that way, then I'd go crazy. I have to be happy with what I can get. Besides, most girls don't move that quickly. You can't expect them to. It's not realistic.Rock wrote:Hmm, when a girl gives me attention, eye contact, and flirting that leads to nowhere, it sounds like cock-teasing to me.

It's better than no eye contact and hostile faces in America.
I thought you had very little sexual appetite anyway? I've never seen you horny or drooling.
Btw, has your mind changed regarding the PI? When you first started going there, you said that foreigners can usually only choose from Filipinas of the lowest class who need money and sponsors. And that non-p4p girls weren't into foreigners and weren't very approachable. Now it looks like you've changed your mind, based on your post above about why you go to the Philippines. Why? What made you change your mind?
When people ask me and my wife how we met, we proudly say we met online. Older people sometimes even wince or frown. Younger people are usually intrigued. Some people show signs of jealously. It does not sound romantic or dreamy. Does it bother us? f**k no, we could care less. We know we are happier than most around us but more importantly we feel as if we both found our dreamed up soulmate. I have not had a dream fantasy about meeting a perfect woman or any kind of woman since I met my wife. When I was with my exwife I would have those dreams while sleeping somewhat often at times.
