TBH I think you feel misunderstood by most people here, not just myself or my "alter ego" publicduende...Winston wrote: ↑September 21st, 2020, 8:34 amHypermak,
You seem to keep misunderstanding me all the time, just like publicduende did, lol, which makes me have to clarify and repeat things. What I said has nothing to do with the lockdown. All western men hate Manila, even Filipinos hate it. I don't know even one western expat that likes Manila. It's the most f***ed up city in Asia and takes hours to get anywhere and always full of traffic and pollution and is ugly too. And it drains you to be there for more than a day. No one likes it. Even Filipinos don't like to live there unless they have no choice. This was true long ago, and has nothing to do with any lockdown or pandemic. You are twisting things again. lol. Why?

Yes Winston, if a foreigner could choose a simpler, cheaper and quieter life in the province, they would probably want to live around Cebu, or Davao, or maybe Dumaguete. But lots of foreigners don't have this choice. 90% of the jobs that matter for foreigners are in the Metro Manila area: that's where all the BPOs have their HQs, that's where all the biggest hotel and resort chains are, that's where the multinationals that offer expat jobs (and salaries!) all are.
As far as I know the only city that comes even close to this is Cebu City, which has a few luxury resorts and hotels, and a handful of those first-class expat job opportunities.
Living in Metro Manila is a necessary evil. Having said that, there are plenty of areas of Metro Manila that are very nice and modern, with buildings and facilities that are more similar to those of Singapore or Hong Kong than other parts of Manila. I am sure you will have been to some parts of Makati, the whole of BGC, Ortigas, the business districts basically. The area where I work, Entertainment City and the Bay Area, is improving by leaps and bounds. It's really modern and the sights of the sunsets are nothing short of spectacular.
Not all of Manila is a open-air cesspit, basically. Given a choice yes, most foreigners would probably live elsewhere. Those who have to, or maybe want to, usually end up living in a nice condo in a nice part of town. They usually live close to their workplace, so the commute is usually a walk, or a bike ride, or a short car ride away.
Maybe I am biased because I basically have a five-star accommodation for free as well as a virtually tax-free salary. I am not really complaining too much about where I am staying and what I used to do whenever I went out.
Not sure what he means by "middle-class" Filipinos. If he means Filipinos who have their own job, family and life routine, they will probably find it rude to engage in a conversation with a foreigner, in fact with anyone, for no particular reason. I think that's quite normal everywhere. I have found that most Filipinos consider inappropriate and a sign of low-culture when they get approached and pushed into a casual conversation. Probably not so different from other Asian cultures.Winston wrote: ↑September 21st, 2020, 8:34 amRock meant that middle class Filipinos ignore him and strangers don't talk to him, because middle class Filipinos are cliquish and don't talk to strangers. But he gets dates from dating sites. Not through cold approach. Most of his girls are chubby, but a few are good looking. He lives in a nice area in Makati so that gives him a lot of points.
Things change if you meet them in a context where you are doing business with them, or maybe a social event where everybody is encouraged to interact. In that case, it's quite obvious that they will tend to respect someone with status: someone who speaks at least some Tagalog, someone who has a stable job and a plan to stay in the country for long, someone who has been recommended (or "endorsed", as they say

Well, this last bit of the conversation was about having plenty of casual sex with a Filipina. Many, if not most men aren't promiscuous, they aren't into jumping from woman to woman without a plan. If they want a girl for a relationship or marriage, of course they will be more careful who they date, they will look at aspects other than youth and beauty.Winston wrote: ↑September 21st, 2020, 8:34 amI don't think most guys cold approach. Very few guys do that. Most guys aren't good at that kind of stuff. Get real. Most guys do not use PUA or anything like that. So I don't think the majority of men are getting laid a lot. Most men don't like dating lots of girls, they prefer one at a time. Most guys aren't playboys. They are simple with simple needs. Most men are not counting their conquests either, like notches on a bed post. That's very juvenile behavior, most normal men don't do that. So your image that most expats are living like Hugh Heffner, I think is very exaggerated. The average man is simple and down to earth.
What is Rock looking for? What are you looking for?

Well, it's called "taking care of someone you love".Winston wrote: ↑September 21st, 2020, 8:34 amMost men with Filipina girlfriends also have to support them with an allowance of some sort. That's common knowledge in the expat community. In a sense, paying for an allowance is similar to paying for sex. It's not that different except an allowance is monthly. Every single expat I've seen with a Filipina girlfriend has to support her with some allowance payment. It's also expected in Philippines culture because we are seen as Santa Clauses who are here to give, give, give.
I think it's quite typical, for a 20-something girl in a relationship with a foreigner twice her age, that she is not exactly the breadwinner in the couple. Even if she has a job, it will probably be unable to support the couple entirely. Of course exceptions do exist and I know a few young foreigners who are living with Filipinas, both have jobs that pay a typical Filipino salary and their lifestyle isn't that great.
Of course, Winston, of course. It's not everything but it helps!Winston wrote: ↑September 21st, 2020, 8:34 amLooks aren't as big a deal as you and Will N Dowd claim. Even if you're good looking, if a girl doesn't feel any chemistry or energy for you, then your handsome face won't matter. Dianne has been courted by lots of tall handsome men, but she didn't "feel anything" for them nor did she like their personality, either they drank too much or were too cold, had bad tempers, etc. So it's not that simple as "handsome face = easy free sex and love". It doesn't work that way. Especially with smarter Filipinas. Maybe the dumbest girls don't care and will bang any guy. But not the girls who are discriminating and particular, like Dianne for example. Dianne would not like Will N Dowd just because he looks handsome or tall. No way. It's not that simple at all. Women need to feel the right chemistry and energy to love a guy or have feelings for him. A handsome face is not enough. A handsome guy gets rejected too, if the girls have no feeling for him or dislike his personality or vibe or doesn't vibe with him. You know what I mean? That's why what Will N Dowd says doesn't make sense. Women aren't that simple. There are many intangible factors involved in love, feelings and attraction, than just a handsome face and nice male body. I'm sure you all know that.

Maybe if Will is going for girls who are looking for something more serious and solid, he might find it a lot harder to date those types of girl. I really can't say more because I just don't know who he is or what he does. Just speculating...
The above doesn't make sense. Sex is a way to exchange pleasure and well-being between the two partners. Sure, there can be a lot of other reasons attached but, in the end, what binds the lovers together is how much pleasure they receive in having sex. You seem to be fixated on the fact that there always has to be a monetary or material exchange together with sex. That's not true at all.Winston wrote: ↑September 21st, 2020, 8:34 amThe thing is hypermak, when you say that getting sex for free is easy for any guy in Manila, that's like saying this:
"Making money is easy. You don't need to work or get a job. There are ways to get free money without working. You can choose to work for money too, or you can get it for free."
Dude, free sex is available anywhere in the world!Winston wrote: ↑September 21st, 2020, 8:34 amOf course that is an illogical statement, because of course, if money were easy, no one would be poor and no one would need to get a job. Basic logic. What you say though is something similar when you say:
"Free sex is easy and available in Manila and in the Philippines. You can pay for it, but you don't have to. It's easy to get free sex too."
Do you see the similarity? Your statement makes no sense either, for the same reason. If something was free, no one would pay for it. Simple logic. Angeles City would not exist and be a hot spot for expats and tourists, if what you claim was actually true.
I hope @yick and @Spencer can understand the simple logic of it. It's not rocket science. It's very simple and common sense. So what you say "does not compute", as Data or Spock or Star Trek androids would say. lol
Also, you refuse to meet up, so I cannot know if anything you say is true or not. I cannot verify anything, including your identity since you refuse to webcam or skype with me, even though you have nothing to lose.
Also keep in mind that many guys claim to get laid easily, however once I look into their claims, most of the time, the turn out to be BSing me.

About meeting up or showing up on cam, I am sorry but after seeing what kind of mentally disturbed trolls you allow on this forum, the little desire I had to expose more of my real identity is totally gone!

I don't think I am saying anything obscure, or revolutionary here. Are you guys so jaded to think that sex must always involve some sort of material exchange, in the Philippines like anywhere else?
I have met a lot of guys who never paid for sex, unless they wanted to have a particular experience not so easy to get with a gf or wife, like fulfilling a fantasy, a fetish, etc. It's my word against yours.
I don't understand. Aren't we all anonymous here? If you wanted to only accept the opinion of people whom you met in person and have known for a while, what's the point with even having an online forum? A meetup site would have been betterWinston wrote: ↑September 21st, 2020, 8:34 amSo what men say and what they do, often is very different. That's been my experience. That's why I have to take all anonymous claims on here with a grain of salt. Hope you understand. If you were in my shoes, I'm sure you'd do the same. Not saying you are dishonest hypermak. I don't know you. Just saying the above has been my real life experience. I've caught many liars and BSers for sure, with stories that didn't add up and no evidence to support their claims and only empty air when asked for evidence or demonstrations.
