Yes in this particular case the place wasn't the problem, but every place does have pros and cons. You can certainly make the case that "Philippines isn't what it's cracked up to be" in a lot of ways which is what I thought this post would be about. Winston had some excellent posts some time ago about all the bs there. Like life itself though, everything is relative.

Indeed you do.

Typical hyper-Winstonian idiocy.

I told you to google it.

Instead you stand around with your thumb up your a**, asking another goddam question.

f***ing do what I said.
I did google it, and there was a lot of criticism written about these homeopathic remedies, basically stating that it's overpriced snake oil. That's why I made the negative comment.

There is some entertainment value on threads like this. :D

I think the title of this thread is actually quite accurate. I never stated that there is something wrong with the Philippines at all. I only made a sobering assessment of what the real Philippines is actually like, not what giddy Westerners want you to believe it is like. Thus, 'Not What It's Cracked Up to Be' refers to the often misleading reviews regarding this country, and what one can realistically expect instead. If anything, the title is a heads-up to newcomers in the Philippines to adjust their bloated expectations, so they don't end up disappointed. It is a service to them.
I do have personal issues regarding sex and intimacy, but these issues are quite distinct from my experiences in the Philippines. They're two different things.

yeah i think some guys here want to easily dismiss it cause of what globetrotter has said about his sexual intimacy. But overall his main point exists. The guys with game will have game anywhere in the world and the ones that dont will struggle to get teh women THEY REALLY want. Not the cute girl in the back row of church but the HOT one next to her who everyone wants.

Yes, exactly.
If you are having a hard time getting laid in America, chances are you will have a hard time getting laid in the Philippines (or anywhere else) as well. Granted, it may be a few shades easier there, but not by any means as easy as you might think.

well i got laid easily by a one hot girl who wasn't a pro but she was a milf. but it was off a dating site and she might as well had been a hooke cause she even confessed she was considering being one in korea. The gf i had in 2014 was not a bargirl but she was a desperate situation so hardly could be called a good girl. more like p4p when you think about it. its easy if your on the dating sites seeking desperate girls. The hot women on the dating sites who are genuine though aren't so easy to get ahold of they have al ot of excuses or aren't that desperate for a boyfriend.

so when your bloating in america no one thinks your attractive? so you got the same exact attention as in philippines? really no girls smiled or seemed interested? When i talk to girls there very casually they are very shy and some are very smily and all and they seem like that way with everyone so its hard to know if they like you or just being polite.

Hmm. I don't know about this one. I actually love indulgences of all kinds.

For example, I flew to the Philis in Business Class, and returned in First Class. I enjoyed some of the best food on earth during my vacation in the Philippines and Japan-- tons of premium sushi, Champagne & spirits, fine pastries, you name it.
Even sexually, I've been masturbating compulsively (because it feels good) since before puberty. I'm talking about up to 5-6 times a day. If this isn't indulging, then there is no such thing as indulgences.
The only time I don't indulge in something is when it doesn't feel good, otherwise, I'm there!

Yes, that's right. When I am bloated in America, NO girls (and I mean ZERO, 100% of girls--even the ugly ones) make eye contact with me, or show even the slightest hint that they like me. It is a poignant taste of what an average-looking man must deal with on a daily basis.
The only time girls were interested in me in the Philippines was when my bloating temporarily subsided. Then I got so much attention that I wish you all were flies on my shoulder to witness it, so that you know I am being totally honest with you. But I get the same level of attention in America (when I'm not bloated), so nothing special or unique about the Philippines in this regard.
But, as I stated in an earlier post, there were only 2 girls I saw in the Philippines that I actually wanted to have sex with, but I had no access to them (one was with another guy. One was working in the mall & showed no signs of interest in me).
There were plenty of attractive girls in the Philis, but only 2 girls I was attracted to. I'm sorry if this sounds crazy, but that's how it went down.

take a picture without part of your face of your bloating cause i think its nonsense talk personally.

why were only 2 you were attracted to? Even with my high standards there is plenty i would be attracted too.

i remember a couple trips ago some girl with braces and cute was smiling at me in the cebu area outside the ticket place of manila airport. Its rare but sometimes yuo get some girl that looks at you like a GOd. I was in a rush to go to cebu but its those encounters however uncommon they are that tell me that day game for even a loser like me is probably possible. id never get such attention in america. I think i probably could get a girl by accident in philippines that is hot but it wouldn't come easy and id have to be going out about my daily life until it happens. Im not the type though that wants to plop into a foreign country and waste my hard earned money so i can accidentally on a whim run into some girl. and just cause im attracted to her doesn't mean much cause she could be a scammer or just want to use me as a meal ticket or she could be a lousy lay or not my religion (which is almost ever filipina), or be a complete retard. So its not easy even if you are there for a few months in my opinion. thats why im kind of scared to go back to the philippines cause it really has nothing else to offer there is not sights to see and nothing to learn at this point. I may just go back so i can use it as a platform to visit other countries since there is so many close by.

I can't answer this, as I'm not in control of who I'm attracted to. It's an instinctive reaction.

I'm not going to even get into this debate. It's beneath me. No one is going to refute what has literally taken me decades to figure out.

Believe what you want, but I am not going to get into debates about things I am light-years ahead of everyone else on. No one comes even remotely close to me in understanding my bloating problem and how it affects the reaction I get from women because of it.
My other issues (sex, intimacy) are fair game for criticism and debate.

"light years ahead" yet you wont even post a picture. I was just curious to know what your face looked like (without giving too much away) that would make the bloating so bad that suddenly you become unnattractive enough to notice a difference. Perhaps that could be your imagination and your afraid to know that.
