BallyBally you need to make some lifestyle changes to get to the root of your problem. If you dont solve the root cause now and end up using Cialis as a crutch your gonna end up with some long term struggles.

Theres tons of info on the web and on this site about things of this nature. I highly recommend you look in to it and make the changes that need to be made so you can have a healthy happy dick. (no homo)

Can someone fill me in on whether you're required to get an ACR-I card after 59 days in the country? It seems like there's some conflicting information out there.

You are not required to get an ACR card. But if you want to get a bank account, drivers license, etc... then you need and ACR card.

(Disclaimer - this is to my knowledge and you should do your own research)

I went ahead and got the ACR card but have never actually used it for anything yet.

What do you guys think is the best way to filter out prostitutes from websites like dateinasia?

When I straight up ask a girl if she takes money for sex i don't always get a straight answer. She might say "oh we won't do that" or "just give me travel money". Am I right in thinking that any answer that is not an emphatic "no i am not that kind of girl" means she is a prostitute?

I think it is a red flag when a girl says she wants to come over "right now", which is a real shame because in america that would mean that she is DTF.

I find it very hard to screen for prostitutes over the internet.
Bikini photos on her profile does not seem to be an indicator - if the girl looks good then she knows that she benefits by showing you that.
Lingerie photos on her profile seem to indicate 100% that she is a prostitute but it seems very rare.
Having a kid seems to increase the chances she is a prostitute but I'm not sure by how much.

I've been in Manila a few times, and Boracay as well.

From my observations and experiences, I'd say that most of the girls you meet online and at places like Greenbelt are p4p at least some of the time.

When I read about guys "gaming" girls here in the Philippines I kind of laugh to myself. It's too easy here.

If you're a foreigner and you're white, you're going to pick up. That's not to say that every woman will want you, in fact most won't even look at you.

There is a bit of a stigma attached to foreigners and the girls they are with. Especially if you are only here for a short stay and you are trying to get laid all the time.

What kind of girl do you really expect to find? Some will ask for money straight up. Some may give it up for free if they like you, but charge other guys they see.

You'll never really know for sure.

It is possible to meet a good girl in the Philippines, but it's pretty unlikely to happen online or in a bar.

Boracay was probably 95% p4p.

What do you guys think about VERY religious girls ? There is one VERY attractive girl but in her long profile every second word is "god/Jesus" waste of time and potentially crazy ? She is pretty smoking though which is rare around here.

Also in general I need to start dropping some girls to make time for new ones, how do you guys deal with this? They know that we are just "friends with benefits" but from their behavior it's obvious that they are somewhat overly attached especially one who lives very near and has like a ton of brothers and cousins =) - I am asking because one girl actually came over unannounced with couple of her friends(drunk) after I was starting to slowly and vaguely reply to her messages. They only wanted to party but I was confused as fuck and she kinda refused to leave until I meet her friends WTF.

Don't know man. I've ultimately cock blocked myself because I have a gf here.

Religion is a big deal here, though it doesn't seem to stop any premarital sex or casual hookups / prostitution. I guess that's what confession is for.
My girl is a catholic, goes to church regularly. Tries to get me to come along now and then, but I always refuse as I am more or less an atheist.

We have an agreement now. She doesn't try to talk me into it and I don't try to talk her out of it.

The Spanish did a good job beating the Jesus into the locals.

I found myself asking the same question. Each time in my experience religion was a complete non issue. It is like the girls didn't even realize that the catholic church is against premarital sex. It seems like every girl has multiple single mothers in her family and they don't look down on them (although they are pitied). Many of the girls seem to really want a baby. Even if they are in the middle of school and they would need to drop out to raise a child I have heard them say that now is a perfect time for a baby. By that they meant "don't put on a condom, i want you to give me a baby right now".

On a similar note, the catholic church is obviously very anti gay, but many of the girls like having gay friends, brothers, cousins.

How about food delivery in Davao, greenwitch has really good pizzas and their prices are decent(like 400php for 15inch ham/cheese pizza with thick thrust) but you have to always call them and tell them phone number and everything else 10 times, guys delivering pizzas seem borderline retarded(same guy came over 2 days in a row without change after telling them that I am paying with 1k note). The only other food that they deliver is some friend chicken.

Yellow cab is seriously overpriced and their pizzas are worse then greenwitch imo.

Any other legit restaurant that delivers good western food ? Like stakes and other "normal" food ?

Yes, Greenbelt at night (i.e Havana) is mostly P4P. But as for this online thing, I think there are plenty of normal/good girls there and even more so on Tinder. You have to be more careful weeding out the ladyboys.

If you are a young guy, I stand by my view that the whole P4P thing is never going to be an issue, unless your the type of guy that intends to pick up on Burgos Street/Ermita, actively seeking it out, or if you're staying for only a couple of days and inviting girls off the bat to your apartment. It's common sense, this will inevitably increase the chance of being asked for money.

A simple first meet up of ice-cream in a mall is a good way to get a feeling for things. And if there's no connection, she can still be a useful contact. That's just it, be prepared to devote a little bit more time and effort than the next guy (especially if you're staying for a while) and you'll be rewarded. You don't need to but your chances of finding girls who ask for money will be significantly lower if you do.

I live in Singapore and have used DIA for about a year now. Regarding p4p and DIA, besides the girls that are openly p4p, I've met quite a few that turned out to be at least part-time or former p4p girls. Red flags for me are lots of trips to Bali, Singapore, Phuket, Dubai, etc... along with either a low paying job or claims to being a model. Also lots of photos in hotel rooms is usually dead giveaway. DIA seems to be full of these types. I find most of them are from either Manila or Jakarta.

Been in Manila about a week - Tindering more than is healthy. Had a date most nights. Come across 'fishing' hookers trying to invite themselves over for money/food/etc, coked up DTF party sluts, suspicious hard to read girls playing games (after sugar daddies? semi-pros?), promiscuous career girls, shy and sheltered career girls, etc. Unless you're filtering super young I'd say career girls are in the majority.

You can find out pretty quickly whether she studies or has a day job. Anything else is a big red flag. These girls will be free after work around Makati or the Fort (7ish) and I have no problems taking them to dinner & drinks because, well, I have to eat anyway and there's only so much time in the day.

Logistics is a big deal, as always. I'd live by Greenbelt. If you can't walk to your place and she has to work in the morning it's going to be a mission getting her home on a weeknight.

As for shoring / dodgy vibe girls - unless you're on a pure quantity over quality notch mission, if the girl isn't there because she likes you you may as well pay for it and save yourself the headache. I'm not against that, but it's really not necessary here.

+1 for reality injection about Phils chicks.

Girls who are doing nothing are at a big risk for parasitism, or just being plain stupid.

Ones supporting dirt poor relatives may be unselfish, but
one problem with them is you can't take them on trips, because they have to work all the time. May not be a problem if you just want a night here and there with them, but if you are LTR oriented, it's a BIG problem.

If I bring her to live in Thailand for a month, _I_ have to send her parents/little brothers/etc money or they starve to death.

Also I see girls picture next to nice hotel swimming pools, in their bathing suits. They're just thinking about how sexy they look, I'm thinking about who they were banging in the hotel the night before.

Come to think of it, those pictures of the girl on a crumbling stoop with some wizened old person behind them on the street are a PLUS, aren't they.

I think that is very true, except that I can also think off hand of 3 very sweet girls who don't have jobs. When I say sweet I mean they don't ask for money and seem to be relatively nice girls. Then again, these girls may be pretty unintelligent. It can be hard to tell because of the language barrier. Although here in the phils it almost seems like poor english is highly correlated with low intelligence.

One thing I noticed is that Filipinas here don't seem to shave their legs. It's funny... the hair is not long enough to be gross, but just long enough so that I notice and almost wish they would. Does anybody else notice that?

DIA is a cesspool. Even here in Davao I'd say at least 25-50% will go p4p in the right circumstances. If you're young and attractive, they usually won't bring it up. But push the issue enough, and you'll figure it out quickly.

I did an experiment where I started messaging girls, judging their DTF level, and then immediately proposing a threesome. Suddenly they all wanted 1000 pesos Some would even then drop the price tag completely if I dropped the other girl from the picture.

Also, I can go through my message history and maybe every 10th girl's account is banned. That likely means they were reported for asking some guy for cash. And plenty of them that actually asked me for cash still have active profiles. That's where I'm getting the 25%+ number from.

I had another girl I met on Cupid give me one of the best BJs I've ever had. Then I did an experiment where I texted her from another number as a "wrong number", and within minutes she agreed to give this fake guy she didn't even know head but wanted to be "paid for her services".

Enigma how about girls from cupid and blossoms here in Davao(like 18-20yrs olds) ? I never thought that even one of them would be semi-pro but I am not messaging really the hottest ones - mostly replying to bangable girls that send their interest/mail/smile first.

Blossoms is by far the most conservative. It's more LTR oriented and I've found that many girls there won't even give me their number as quickly as the other sites. There are some who have profiles there and elsewhere that are less so.

Cupid definitely has some semi-pros, as I mentioned, but not nearly as many as DIA in my experience. I've had one girl from there say something about "supporting her through school" to date her. When I laughed at her, she mentioned paying for fun instead.

Like I said, I had to really push the issue to even get girls to start bringing up p4p more often, so it's hard to really tell exactly who is and who isn't. I'd still say most aren't, considering I've been really aggressive there (DIA) lately with any girl that's not particularly young or attractive.

But it only takes a couple days between the three to realize that DIA is a completely different animal. That's why it mentions so many restrictions about copy/paste and explicit messages or profiles. It's the wild west over there. Most of the better girls stop logging in or delete their profiles before long.

I have met girls not via dating here who have "boyfriends" out of country who are paying for their college, food and housing. I really think that the girls are able to compartmentalize to themselves that it isn't p4p. They are able to tell themselves that they are just in a long distance relationship with a rich guy who wants them to be smarter just so that they are a better mate and future mother.

These girls run game like the best of us. Many of these "loving, shy, sweet girls" are running multiple guys online for money or marriage. It's almost a job for them over here. More power to them I say. Someone needs to keep the white knights of the world busy. We all know what these girls are doing in the meantime.

Wechat app is almost exclusively ladyboys, massage girls and hookers. Waste of time.

Tinder, I've had several girls ask for money.

Havana cafe? Walked by it plenty of times but never been. The only club that looks somewhat appealing to me at greenbelt is Nuvo but they have a no sandals rule so I doubt I'll bother with it.

Even on okcupid I've had girls ask for money, and a lot of it. One wanted 7000 php...haha.

I chat with them a bit, get their # and from that you can often find their Facebook and check them out.

I'm sure you could meet a nice office girl. The landmark uniforms work for me and that place is full of women.

I agree. If you're here for a while, your odds of pulling a good girl go way up. I don't think its that good online regardless.

Fellow RVF'ers, I'm down to grab a drink on June 6th if you're in Manila. PM me or post here:

Just have to remember that the Philippines is a very poor country with very limited opportunity to pull yourself out of the slums. A lot of girls use their youth and beauty to try to improve their financial situation. Most are not pros- they just need to get by. So, even when they do not ask for money, they just like hanging out with you, enjoy your company, or are truly in love with you - consider giving them money to just help out.

+1 for open-mindedness. You have to understand the ecosystem in which you are operating.

However, I DO like to know as soon as possible what goals and needs are in a girl's mind--so I am not in the eco-system blind.

And it's nice to see if she at least is TRYING to make it on her own, there's a difference between someone who views men as potential lovers and helpers, and someone who views people as marks first , and theoretical "possibly" maybe real lovers.

I think a lot of 18-20 year olds probably aren't even self defined as p4p or not, some hear about "collectors" and dive right in with a level of income in mind, others think of love but then get spoiled by easy money...

Since women want what they can't have, some probably fall in love with players while leeching off salarymen in Australia and the USA.
