The bottom line is the Philippines is not the anomaly it used to be in 2014 and prior, and if you're not a good looking guy with game, you may end up with a bunch of semi-pros. Probably without even knowing it since a lot of the guys that fall in that bracket are socially off.
If you're a good looking guy, well, now you have to work for it.
And yes, the diet in the Phils is very unhealthy, so you do get a population that is skinny-fat, as one of the guys pointed out, it is what it is. On top of that, there's also a lot of people that are undernourished, and that does affect IQ levels, like it or not. I hope that improves over time with the economic growth.
The culture is not very efficient, things that would not happen in some of the more efficient parts of the U.S. happen here. The Philippines is not Burger King, you can't have it your way, like you can in America. In many cases, you can forget about ordering what you want at a restaurant and it comes down to "Ok, well let's forget about what's on this menu here, what can I actually order?" Then they point to the one thing that you can order. It's just more fun in the Philippines.
Also, the girls there are expert liars, like in much of Asia. There's still stigmas to sleeping around, so girls will lie even more than Western girls, who don't face the same stigmas for sharing their behaviors. You'll have a girl whose been with 5, 10 guys, or more, telling you she's a virgin. And you'll believe it too because she deserves an Oscar for how she acted like she'd never seen a dick before when you first made love to her.
Teen pregnancy rates are pretty high in the country, so there's lots of unmarried mothers. While divorce may be illegal, people do separate all the time and simply cohabitate with new partners.
There's a drug war going on, if you enjoy smoking weed, you're treading on thin ice here if a local has a grudge against you for a million reasons, be it economic jealousy or jealousy over a girl you're banging that he wanted. The drug war also includes a new nationalism against foreigners and what they're up to in the Phils. All it takes is one rogue officer and you could be in trouble or dead, like that Korean guy that was kidnapped from his home by police officers and tortured and killed in police headquarters.
The Philippines is experiencing an economic boom as well, and more jobs means less foreigner value as the local men compete better and the local women are less deficient in basic needs.
It's just not what it used to be, and it never will be.
That's just what it is, now you have to work harder for it, even if you're a good looking guy, and if you're not good looking, or if you're old, or old and not good looking, well, in either case, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel now, and that's with some effort. The two week bang missions from before, costing two thousand dollars or so, aren't really worth it anymore. Those were never my thing, I think America is one of the easiest countries in the world to get laid in, there's no point in flying around the world just for sex. However, for some guys America is hard to get laid in, as the forum has gone over. For the guys in that boat, just realize in the Philippines you're basically banging promiscuous women that every other American in that boat is banging, and you're banging them after considerable effort. You may bring an STD back with you on your flight home.
P4P isn't my thing, but in reality, for the lowest value guys, on a pound for pound basis, you're better off going to Amsterdam and doing the P4P thing. They're not that expensive and they're WAY hotter than what you can get in the Phils as a low value guy, without dealing with the frustrations of a developing country where you can get killed just crossing the street, being forced to dodge through traffic. Red = Stop? Green = Go? Forget about it, too complex. Here it's like in that movie about King Arthur, "First Knight," where Richard Gere has to cross a gauntlet of blades and dangerous objects. That's what crossing the street is like in the Phils, and you have to do it every day. You can easily get injured or run over, and no one will bat an eye. If you were not attractive before an accident, think about how unattractive you'll be after getting hit by a taxi driving around chaotically.
Then there's theft. The street kids will surround you, 6 to 8 of them at a time or more, and they'll start by just chatting, you'll think it's endearing, then one of them will reach in your pocket, grab your wallet with your ATM card in it, maybe your passport too if you carried it with you, and then run for it. The other kids will get in the way, and you're too slow anyways, those kids are fast. Even if you do chase him, where is he leading you, to a trap? You don't want to take a wrong turn and get lost in a slum. Then you could be dealing with adult criminals. The police do nothing because the children can't be punished. So they're free to steal at will. Absolutely nothing you can do about it, and don't even think of laying a hand on one, because lets be real they're still children.
So yeah. Some truths about the Philippines.
