How has the global economic crisis affected the Philippines?

I was just wondering, with the Asian economy going to hell in a handbasket, is it even easier now for western guys to date hot Filipinas?

Who knows, the worldwide economy also makes it harder to afford the trip as the investment portfolio that many travel on has been cut in half.

I guess it would be easier to date since fewer foreigners will be coming.

Hard to say. It depends on so many things. You can not meet a good hot girl for a week, and then one day meet several keepers on the same day. It's all about timing, where you are, who you meet, how compatible you are, whether they like you, etc. But in general, it's still easy and the Philippines is still paradise for dating and meeting young cute girls.

It sounds like the number of quality women that you meet in a week is a Poisson process. With more precise data I could predict the odds that you'd meet five or more quality women in any given month. But I digress.

Seems like it's too early to see any impact of the financial meltdown on Philippines society. Keep us posted.

W: Well timing is a factor sure. But with so many girls around you that are single and friendly, it's guaranteed that if you try and go out there, you will meet lots and lots of girls. Who you meet depends on the timing, and whether they are hot or not depends on your taste. My taste and Ladislav's differ, for example. I have different standards than most foreign guys here, who prefer short petite darker girls, while I prefer tall whiter girls. My type is harder to find, so it takes me longer, but it's doable.

The clubs in Manila have hotter girls but they are more expensive. The cheap less attractive ones tend to flock to Angeles. But still, with so many girls around, there's always lots of choices. It's never really a dead end.
