Filipinos have a strong sports culture, and especially admire Black Athletes. So if you look like Kobe then you're golden.

If you're Latino, bring it with boxing knowledge.

Yeah Filipinos love basketball - it is pretty much the national sport. The Filipinos play basketball well despite their height disadvantage.

They all assumed that since I was a 6 feet tall Americano I must be an amazing basketball player (I'm not very good).

I think that is interesting you say that Filipinos wish they were black, because there were endless advertisements on Filipino TV for skin whitening creams and the models in magazines tended to have lighter skin. Also I got many compliments about my white skin there (which was kind of awkward for me).

[manilaguy]

I think people are getting mixed up on this white issue, the term I would say is "fair" which is a pearly Asian complexion. The mestizo look helps, but caucasian and black qualifies you as a foreigner, an outsider.

I'd game her.. or maybe I have..

Filipinos love everything American and Black-Americans are overly-represented in popular culture in America so everything that Manilaguy is saying makes sense...In the words of the almighty GlobalBaller I would definitely say PI is a "GOLDMINE" for a brothas as well. With all attention and stares I was getting I kinda felt like an NBA player would...I'm 6'0 solid with an athletic build & really felt a positive vibe there.

You have to remember that Filipinos speak English and are heavily exposed to mainstream American culture (MTV/BET) and all of the Pinay ladies and gents I know idolized Hip-Hop & R&B artists growing up (In California) and continue to do so and it seems to be the same way on the mainland PI...Seems like the more educated the woman the more exposed to Western Culture they would be and then more open to get with you...I think that is a major reason I did well there.

It was hilarious walking through the outdoor terraces of dining establishments and restaurants at Green Hills and Greenbelt Malls and hearing American Hip-Hop being blasted loudly while the Filipions were dining and chatting away...It was a funny sight to see!

Also I asked the the girls I banged how the dating scene was there and they all stated that the guys there just don't satisfy them in the bedroom and dont have the goods...lol. That gave me even more motivation to put it down in the bedroom and I literally put them "to bed" each and every night.

A great dating strategy to use is DateinAsia...The chicks can be hit or miss but I had tons of chicks hitting me up. I set my city to makati city and the offers were flooding In. However you have to use caution because I ran into quite a few "ladyboys" on the site and I think I met one In person that came over to my hotel to meet me. Basically we were going back and forth for a few days and I made the mistake of not checking out more pics on "It's" page because the one on the dateinasia page looked cute.

I invited "It" over for a quick lunch date since the he/she was being so persistant and had a solid profile and upon 1st site I just had the funny feeling "It" was a lady boy because of "It's" smaller chest and the funny sounding voice and the tomboyish style of dress "It" had. I quickly asked "It" IF he/she was a ladyboy and "It" said no and was astonished but then I quickly just got out of the situation and told "It" I wasnt sure so the he/she stormed off... Here is the picture of the suspect on dateinasia...
[attachment=371]

I'm sure alot of cats would of fall for it...lol. Definitely have to be careful on that site so in the future I will need to see tons of facebook pictures and maybe camera time a bit. Tons of girls on that site and the Filipinas are extremely thirsty on there.

[Lumiere]

Yeah I have a filter policy for date in asia

Even if you cant tell from their photo or they dont look like a ladyboy I always ask them, when we are setting up the first meeting by text, if they are a ladybody or not.

I have never had a situation where anyone lied about it. They usually just say yes if they are.

[Lumiere]

BTW, one look at that photo and its blatently obvious that this IS a ladyboy

There has to be something wrong with your ladybody radar if you cant tell that

Yeah I had to charge that experience to the game on this one...Admittedly I'm just not used to having to filter those things out and having to deal with that aspect of the game on a constant basis and to be on guard about it. Obviously this ladyboy thing is a huge part of culture in SE Asia so I just wanted to let others know who might not have a good eye to have their guard up. I have been able to quickly decipher other ladyboys who have hit me up on dateinasia and quickly block them from hitting me on that website.

LA Cafe Review:[u]
I had a chance to check out the infamous LA Cafe for a hot second before going to Republiq...The place is now called Manila Bay Cafe, It's open 24 hours a day and It is definitely a P4P bar and gave off the vibe of one as soon as I stepped into the place. I'm sure anyone with game can "shore" there but I dont really see the point of doing this when the chicks intention when they come inside this place is to find a "trick" to break bread for the night and there are plenty of non-pros and regular girls to be had in the Metro Manila area anyway to be trying to scam some ho's for a few dollars.

The place had a cool set-up and music was bumping but the girls In were just OK IMO....nothing to write home about and nothing compared to the talent level at the regular clubs I checked out. Also most of the guys I saw had this "down and out/sex tourist" look that is kind of synonmous with many of the guys I saw in Manila walking around with poor province girls. The typical outfit is shorts, tropical shirt or hawaiian print shirt, bulging belly and bald or receeding hairline. These guys wouldnt dare attempt to hit up the top local spots so I dont blame them with sticking to this type of scene honestly.

Also avoid bars on Burgos Street In Makati City If you want to meet regular girls/non-pros. The taxi drivers were always trying to take me there because of the small red light district there and when I pulled up the 1st night thinking this was going to be a regular street with nice clubs and bars I saw ladyboys galore and young girls walking the streets and It had a seedy feel to It. AVOID If you want to game real Pinay hot girls.

Here is one of the chicks I I was intimate with that I met at Republiq...I love the Latin look alot of the Filipina girls have...chalk it up to the Spanish blood that they have infused in them...Her sex drive was unbelievable and she definitely aimed to please...I cannot wait to return!

Nice. Can you PM the details of that dude that got you on the list.

I want to check out republq

[BaronStanley]

That pic does not look that much like a ladyboy. I think its just the short hair that makes her look like it. It def can be a ladyboy but I don't think its super obvious. They usually look more like hot chics... as in, they carry themselves well in sexy clothes and make-up etc... They catch the corner of your eye, then u give em a direct look and notice the broad shoulders and/or manly features and immediately look away feeling like a fag but still not 100% sure if it is actually a ladyboy. Those are the good ones. Then there are the low quality ones that are super obvious and simply look like a gay guy in make-up. But there are also actual women that can look the part. I was watching TV with a chic and I swore the host had to be a ladyboy but the girl I was with said its a woman. Wish I could remember the show to find pics.

On another note, it sure would suck to be a pinay girl with manly features.

ANother tangent, I find alot of ladyboys haver mannerisms more resembling a gay man than an actual girl.

Curious, what food did you guys eat or particularly like in Manila? What's your opinion on the cuisine?

The food wasnt as bad as I expected even though for the most part I was very cautios and didnt eat the street food.

I had a chance to try the /Dinuguan (Pig Blood Soup) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinuguan the soup actually was very good but I was just appalled on the actual main contents.

I heard there is a dog dish for special occassions and needless to say I would NEVER eat that...Disgusting.

I was eating at restaurants at the malls and was sticking with Casa Reyes which was primarily Pinay food and pretty good even though the girl I was with guided me to the safe stuff and I ate at the SE Asian spot Banana Tree several times and Habana Cafe. All solid experiences and the food and vibe was excellent at all three.

For Pinay dessert I was rolling with the Halo-Halo and it was yummy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo-halo

In general I have heard negative thoughts on Filipino food, but for the most part I enjoyed it.

They serve white rice with everything and Pancit (noodles) were only ok but I did get to try a lot of seafood.

Sizzling Pusit (fried squid) was decent but I felt like I was chewing a rubber tire. The Tilapia was good but watch out for bones. I especially liked the seafood kare-kare (a seafood soup with a peanut tasting sauce).

You are brave for trying dinuguan (pigs-blood soup). Do you remember what she got you? Did you try "sisig" with your san-miguel?

I love flip food (naturally), but most are too damn unhealthy. You should have tried (roasted pig) or at least kare-kare (peanut based).
lechon

kare-kare



As for the dog, I would say that is reserved for the drunkards; I wouldn't even know where to find it there -- she was probably teasing you.

[Duke Castile]

Reading this thread has been great. I am definitely going. I got on dateinasia.com to check out the hype and girls are begging me to come visit. I would def go to the classy joints over the p4p and wouldn't mind spending a month or so before taking off to Thailand and roaming around that way. Great reports by several guys, esp that tranny lover Swagger since his is the latest dope. (ps kidding you man)
Anyone planning a trip hit me up.

I am strongly considering a trip to Phillipines/Thailand between March and May - if so we should meet up.

[Lumiere]

Fisto, I am here now.

BTW - Beware of any chick in the Philippines that you have not have vaginal sex with before that says she is on her period and only wants to give you a blowjob. That's a standard ladyboy con.

One of my current filipina girlfriends is great and I met on dateinasia but most of the filipina 'girls' that reply to you on there and want to meet are ladyboys. I am not saying that most of the girls on there are ladyboys. But most of the keen replies you get will be from ladyboys.

I filter heavily and just ask them outright before we meet whether they are a ladyboy or not. I dont give a fuck if its a real women and she gets all offended. I am not going to deal with the time wasting that is involved in not asking.

I also would never travel or go out of my way to meet girls. I just tell them the bar that I am going to be and make it clear that, if they want to meet me then they come to where I am. I never go to where they are (usually they want to meet in a mall during the day).

100% success rate in terms of filtering. I have never met a ladyboy off there.

Just a gay man with mutilated genitals and silicon inserts.

Some people suggest to check for an adams apple but that is not the best way to tell.

The best way to tell is height. In Phillipines and thailand, the women are short. Average height is 5'4 to 5'6. They are tiny. Ladyboys can't make themselves shorter and, like most men in those countries, average 5'10 in height.

I am 5'10 myself so if a chick here is my height there is a good chance she is a ladyboy. That, combined with the shoulder / hip ratio makes it easy to tell.

The quality of women that I met and observed at the upscale clubs like encore and republiq blew everything I saw on dateinasia out of the water. When I finally arrived I didn't need to rely on dateinasia because the cooperation level from women I met out day and night was 100%.

So your game plan should be day game, night game then use the internet dating sites as a past-time while you're actually in the country or before you arrive to set up contacts for easy lays.

[BaronStanley]

dateinasia most ladyboys say so outright in the profile. Or say something like "I'm looking for a man who accepts what I am"

Also, have to watch out for semi-pros types. They ask u for taxi fare for them to come meet you and quote a price that is obv too high. One girl tried that shit on me. Asked for 550 pesos. Then my buddy was talking to some other dateinasia chic that did the same exact thing when he asked her to meet up. Same price 550 pesos. No taxi should cost more than 200-300. And using the rail system to get into Makati is actually faster than taxis due to the ridiculous traffic in Manila and at a fraction of the price.

Agreed. I use online game to pipeline (setup up tons of contacts and people who want to meet before I even arrive) and for when I am working on stuff and don't have time to dedicate to gaming.

There is a feature on dateinasia that allows you to report people who ask for money. It is strictly against site rules and anyone who asks me for taxi fare to come meet me gets reported to the site and, as a result, gets a short ban.

550 pesos is roughly the price that locals pay to bang a hooker.

No taxi fare should cost more than 60-80 to go anywhere unless its a super long trip, you get stuck in traffic or you mistakenly take an airport taxi instead of a regular taxi.

Regular taxis are white. Airport taxis work the whole city, not just the airport, and they are yellow.

A jeepney (small public bus that plows a set route) costs 7 pesos. To use the metro system for a trip is between 10 and 14 pesos depending on how far you are going.

550 pesos for a taxi to come meet? lol. You know the hooker is gonna pocket the cash and just take a jeepney to come meet you. Even if she has to change and take 3 different jeepneys to get there, thats still only 21 pesos.

Yeah I've been pretty popular with them. I've been following the thread, have you figured out a base of operations and other places to jaunt to (like Cebu or other beach places etc)? I'm trying to imagine an itinerary and it seems chaotic. Also I wouldn't mind hitting up Thailand as well. How much longer will you bet there?
