Why is this site so obsessed with the Philippines?

[Mr.Darcy]

Why?

[jtest28]

Well, what else do you recommend? American women who wont date you for not being perfect? I've been to Europe. Loved the travel experience. The women were very good looking, and unusually clean. Too bad the women there want to date an asshole. I mean, I can become one, but would rather not. Ladislav went back to Ukraine and Russia and said the Philippines were much better for dating women. Ive been chatting with Fillipinas alot lately, and can say, we do seem to get along. So maybe next month or sometime soon, I will go there next.

Why?

Huh oh, you've just opened-up a can-of-worms, Mr. Darcy, LOL!

Yeah, I think there is too much emphasis on Southeast Asia on this forum. I would like to see more discussions about Latin America and Russia here--and even more exotic places in the world like Africa and the Middle East. I miss Guitarguy and his posts about India, and I would like ContrarianExpatriate to post more about Africa (although he doesn't seem very happy over there...). Where's Naughty Nomad and WorldTraveler as well?

1. Minimal language barrier.
2. Girls have lower standards (age and income/wealth) than most other places.
3. Low cost of living.

The Philippines is like Bizarro world. That is to say, the rules are completely reversed. When I go there, model-quality women chase after me and can't keep their hands off of me. The situation is totally absurd (but in a good way )

The Dominican Republic might be just as good. I've met a lot of hot girls less than half my age online, and they act like they want to marry me within a day of meeting me. I'll definitely have to check it out.

The culture of the Philippines is the complete is the opposite of the US. Its the best place in the world for meeting women.

I don't know about a complete culture difference. Maybe the poorest of the Filipinos will be completely non-westernized. However, the majority of the people in the Philippines know about the USA and follow USA culture. You will find that many Filipinas shave their pubic region, for example. This is not the norm in most Asian countries, from what I have heard. This was started in the west due to porn, I believe. Many also speak English. They really WANT to move to the USA for a better life, unless they are a politician/celebrity or seriously dating/married to one. When they move to the USA, they mostly consider themselves AMERICAN. This is completely different than a Mexican Immigrant that will mostly consider themselves Mexican forever...even if they've lived most of their lives in the USA.

Not to bad-mouth the Filipinos as I greatly prefer them over their Mexican counterparts within the USA. They aren't brainwashed to be entitled, unlike Mexican Immigrants.

The Philippines is absolutely beautiful. It is the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life. I'm not talking about Quezon City or Manila of course, you need to get AWAY from there to see the beauty. Check out Coron, Palawan or some other place outside of the big city and you will see what I am talking about. I could see an extremely relaxed life in the Philippines with a generally happy people...

This is clearly a newbie post: any regular HA poster knows how this discussion will go! Simply put, the Philippines is BY FAR the EASIEST country to bang a girl in. And if you read between the lines of certain HA posters, you'll realize that banging short, fat and ugly peasant girls is their number one goal in life

Here's another clue, excerpted from Will Dowd's "I was a GOD..." thread:

The Philippines is unique in that it combines American-level coed promiscuity with rampant poverty and desperation; viewing Americans as saviors who are next to Jesus; daily news stories of grisly revenge killings enacted over the pettiest of grievances (eg. getting murdered at a funeral over a simple dice game dispute); a national inferiority complex deeper than the Mariana Trench.... oh, and totally over-the-top idolization of the white man.

The internet in the Philippines sucks like you can't believe.

Tried many times to post my awesome thoughts and lost it all into the internet black hole!!!

Everything Winston preaches about Filipinas is right on the money. I slept with and made a FOB 7 fall in love with me on the first date. Best sex I ever had too. She was very affectionate, passionate, and submissive. Keep in mind fat, Canadian Lena Dunham types reject me 100% of the time.

[SilverEnergy]

The women are extremely feminine there and it's easy to pick them up.

Yeah, it's ridiculous how quickly they fall in love.
If a woman falls in love with me without even meeting me first, I just cut her off, though. That kind of thinking is a HUGE red flag.

Hang on tight guys. I'm planning to write a trip report on Indonesian ladies. They've been barely mentioned on HA except for a paragraph or two by Ladislav and AmericanInBangkok.

For three reasons of course:

1: Women.

2: Women.

3: Women.

[Halwick]

The Philippines seems like the best place to have the short-term "girlfriend" experience. Easy to find, f**k, dump and forget. Best part is there's always another Filipina more than happy to take the previous one's place.

Just don't marry them and don't let them get their hands on your money and assets.
