Reading through this thread makes me think of Scott Adam's theory about 2 movies. The guys who love the Phils and those who hate it are seeing the same material through different lenses. No minds will be changed. If you hate it, feel free to stop going on and on about it. It's a big world out there.
1. The looks lense
If you're actually a pretty good looking guy, yeah you'll still get the kind of results everyone has read about or at least similar. Every young white guy used to get these results years ago, which is what made the place famous.
I'm not classically good looking... I'm okay but don't get described as handsome very often, but I got the top girls that were available here, and I got them very, very easily... now I don't. Even when I use the same pictures from back then.
2. The experience lense
If you have been here for years, you are now experiencing the current Filipino SMP as a massive step down. If you just arrived from the West, you will still experience the Filipino SMP as a step up.
I'm sure we can add a few lenses to this list but it's not that some guys are right and some guys are wrong. It's simply different relative SMV, different past experience, etc.
