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 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.
I am not going to reveal my face because of the sensitive nature of this discussion (not that I have pictures readily available of me that illustrates what I'm talking about, anyway).

There is some entertainment value on threads like this. :D
The only thing I have a problem with is that it can be very misleading mostly because of the title, and negatively affect guys in need. Some may not read to the part where it's finally inferred that the place wasn't the problem.
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.
Bs, you had a bloated face, so your assessment doesn't count. If your un-bloated self gets tons of looks in the states, it only means you look great already and it can't get much better in the islands. If your bloated self was ignored it's purely subjective since we don't know -and you refuse to show- how bad it is.

The important point is that for normal guys that don't get much attention in the states, there is great potential. It is those guys that the title and OP mislead, as you didn't give all the information outright. I'm not out to defend the PH as I haven't been there, but accuracy/completeness of information.

Everybody, including you, is now sidetracking with the intimacy issues, which are irrelevant here.

He doesn't want really want sex with real women, but he can't accept this fact about himself for some reason. That's the underlying reason for his behavior. If he could accept this fact, he'd just stick to masturbation.

There's actually a lot of men like that nowadays, part of the herbivore/MGTOW trend. I'm in that category, though not so extreme as the OP, since I've had numerous real girlfriends, including one just last year.

Title of this thread should be changed to "The Phillipines: Not a good place for herbivores who can't accept themselves as herbivores"

I agree. And throw in an imaginary bloat condition and the fact he loves to be in luxurious hotels and cuisines and gawking at women in bars and running to the tourist spots in philippines for no reason this whole experiment is bizarre.

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.


I sent you to look for a PRACTITIONER, not for idiot critics.

There are people who will make you a custom remedy bottle for FORTY DOLLARS plus shipping. Just how the f**k is that "overpriced"?

You can lead a horse to water...............

















...............but it's no use trying to help a total shithead.

The PH: not what it's cracked up to be.
If you don't have "game" in the states, you won't have "game" abroad.

I actually believe this guy might have women chasing after when he isn't "bloated" (LOL). And he probably drives them as crazy with his wishy-washiness and argumentativeness about everything as he's driven Jester.
