Them's fightin' words, comrade. You, me, outside, now!
But seriously, everyone stop arguing. You're tearing me apart. So what if some people haven't been there. Everyone can have an opinion or an impression of a place based on things they've heard. I think Siberia is cold, but I've never been there.
Arguing like an idiot over shit that isn't life or death is childish. Everyone feels like they have to have a bigger dick than everyone else. This is why I don't usually get involved in these conversations. At least I can joke about the fact that I've not been to the Philippines. I don't take myself that seriously.

The manilatime article you posted provided little to no information regarding how they conduct their research. What metrics they used etc...
If using purely eye test, I would say on average the average Pinay are skinny but it does NOT mean they don't carry a lot of fat. It's called skinny-fat. The majority of Filipinos carry their excess weight in their stomach and love handle which is something you cannot easily see.
It make sense if you have a nation that have fried food and rice with little veggies as their diet. Compound that with the little exercises they do.
Anyways, I don't think 95% of the Filipinos are overweight and I don't think the Filipinos on average are "skinny" either. It's somewhere in between. Why is it always one extreme or another? the truth is always somewhere in middle.
The Manila times did not conduct the research, they reported on the Asia Round Table on Food Innovation for Improved Nutrition (AroFINN) who commissioned the research through the Economist Intelligence Unit.
Whilst this may sound Chinese to you, the Economist Intelligence Unit is the research and analysis division of the Economist Group and the world leader in global business research. It was founded in 1946 and has 70 years experience in providing reliable research and intelligence, to governments and the world's leading corporations.
So pardon me, and with the utmost respect and deference to the no doubt superb sharpness of your eyesight, I hope you understand why I trust their research more than the parametres of your own research, when the EIU tells me that 95% of Filipinas are NOT obese, okay? Particularly since I have had the pleasure to wrap my body around a most delightfully proportioned Filipina many a time, so the EIU research very much tallies with my personal experience.

You're right that some girls carry their excess fat around the stomach, mostly girls approaching the wall, almost never the younger girls 20 - 24.
However you are very wrong to believe that most Filipinas are "skinnyfat", "halffat" "slimfat" "ittybittyfat"...whatever the fuck that means.
Most Filipinas are not fat, obese or overweight, 23 per cent are overweight, and 5% are obese. That means 95% of Filipinas are not obese, and 77% of Filipinas are not overweight. So that means the majority of Filipinas are not obese and not even overweight either.
It's not an extreme truth. It's not because I'm sensitive, I'm not misugided, I don't have a Filipina wife, It's just the way it fucking is. Filipinas are, on average, slender. If you think Filipinas are obese, fat, hideous, skinnyfat, or overweight, then it's because you've been banging fat chicks hitting the wall. It means you're misguided.
Now can we please discuss Filipinas in terms of other things apart from weight?
It seems to me this fixation on weight says more about the country of origin of the Fatshamers than about Filipinas. Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
The reason why some people might think that absolutely anyone can get laid there, regardless of looks, attitude, game, whatever, is because the Philippines is a magical land that has something for everybody. Yes there are lots of whores, but there are also lots of classy females with taste, and everything in between. You just have to know what you are and what you currently deserve. You can be an ugly fuck loser and get plenty of pussy. But not any pussy, just low quality.

First off, relax and take a deep breath. Why are you getting so worked up?
You realize on average is 50% right. I never said 95% or 77% whatever you think I claimed and I definitely didn't say the majority. You are so triggered that you cannot read properly.
Maybe you're not misguided but you're definitely sensitive with your rant here.
This is not going away is it?
Okay, so you said on average. Yes, it means 50%.
I know YOU did not say 95% of Filipinas are obese. The Economist Intelligence Unit is saying that 95% of Filipinas are NOT obese and that 77% of Filipinas are not overweight.
This is not rocket science. It clearly means there is no way that 50% of Filipinas are obese, overweight, skinnyfat, slimfat, slenderfat...They're not fat. Period. On average. The majority of Filipinas. Are. Not. Fat.
https://www.manilatimes.net/ph-2nd-lowes...an/337843/
And you're telling me I cannot read properly? Jesus, you thought the Manila Times did the research.
Some broken half-blind person come on here and says all Filipinas are hideous and or obese and I'm misguided?
Are you kidding? This is a joke right?

I did not think the Manila Times did the research. ARoFIIN did, it was literally the first sentence of that article. My bad for not pointing that out. I checked their website and did not see how they conducted their research, that's why I asked.
Anyways, this is not going anywhere if you don't calm down. Clearly you don't want to debate it any longer and aren't willing to listen. You're dead set on Pinays being skinny and everything else is wrong and there is no middle ground.
Enjoy the Phils

Well, sorry, but there is nothing to debate here.
The majority of Filipinas are not obese and not even overweight.
It's like debating if the earth is flat. Or the moon is made of cheese.
You don't debate certain things.
Either you get it or you don't.
Okay so you think Filipinas are on average 'skinnyfat'.
Enjoy your world.
BTW, AroFINN did not do the research. They commissioned the research, the Economist Intelligence Unit did the research. Hence we can trust their numbers completely.

that Korean guy that was kidnapped from his home by police officers and tortured and killed in police headquarters.
The case was huge, it made national and international news, and Duterte's right hand man, the Chief of the Philippines National Police, Ronald Dela Rosa, offered to resign over it. The Korean guy was kidnapped from his own home. This wasn't a kidnapping in some dark alley while the victim was halfway drunk while going home with some hookers, this guy was kidnapped from his own home. Then he was taken to the national police headquarters, where he was killed by strangulation, presumably after being beaten, as the kidnappers were looking to get money from him. His body was then cremated and his ashes were flushed down a toilet.
This crime happened inside the Philippines National Police headquarters, and was committed by police. The fact these guys thought they could get away with that speaks volumes.

That's just hearsay, until you've actually been there and had your dick inside of a Filipina.
With all of these guys saying "Philippines is done", etc I'm pretty convinced it's because they have scarcity mindset and are scared their pussy paradise is going to get ruined by guys reading this thread and showing up. If guys can't get laid there they have no hope anywhere.
Fact of the matter is plenty of guys who have never heard of this forum have been going there for decades. I've had an employee who met his wife there, I had a guy next to me on my flight going there to meet his "girlfriend" for the first time, and many other people I told I went there assumed it was wife hunting or something similar because they know of someone who did the same thing.
@Spaniard 88
Shocking stuff.
Until you realize that 5,545 police officers across the USA were arrested between 2005 and 2011, mostly for violent crime.
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/cop...dfa4b9470f
We measure with a different yardstick countries like the Philippines, who with a 5% obesity rate have too many fat women and with considerable less police crime than the US are nonetheless a hellhole of crime.

Lol Huffington Post.
@Spaniard88, that's nuts. I see it's Angeles, so less surprising. Plenty of kidnappings there, and much of the local police force is highly corrupt. Comes with the territory I guess, the city is basically a red light district... well at least the part that attracts foreigners.
I wonder what made him a target. Often it's guys whose wealth is obvious, for example buy owning local businesses or a lot of real estate. Could also be he pissed off the wrong person... Do you know the backstory?
@Shimmy, nobody is saying it's impossible to get laid in the Philippines. What we're saying is that rockstar effect and novelty is over... so hot pinays aren't easily available for average looking white guys anymore. Guys can still date up a little but not much.
Just because a girl writes "model" on tinder doesn't mean she's a model... I've seen pictures of guys who claim to be banging models in 2018 without being handsome themselves, and they are "pretty but chubby" girls, or butterface kind of girls. In 2011-2013 I got actual models, and easy, and I'm average looking.
As for being scared that the pussy paradise is going to get ruined... I'm afraid it's a wee bit late for that. It's just a place where you can get easy lays with slightly above average girls now... or really work for quality, just like everywhere else.
At which point everyone will have to ask himself - is it still worth being here with all the drawbacks of this place? For some who love the nature and the culture, the answer will be yes... For me it is a clear no... YEMV. I'm planning to leave here and if I could I would leave today.
In general I find people who disagree with these sentiments fall in one of 3 categories: 1. they haven't seen the Philippines before 2014, 2. they aren't actually very picky, or 3. they are good looking guys... obviously those guys will still do well now.
If you don't fall in one of these 3 categories and still disagree with my post, I'd be curious to have a friendly discussion about specifics. Via PM if you want.

No, I don't, it looks like they just saw him as a target, they somehow knew he had at least some money in the bank, his wife did pay part of the ransom, 5 million pesos.
The top quality 8s and up aren't phased by the average white guy. Since the evolution of smartphones and social media, the top girls have orbiters from all over the world, not to mention top pick of the locals.
Before the social media madness perhaps the average but well off white guy was exotic and intriguing to the top shelf pinay. Now he's left with hoardes of 5s and 6s.
Having said that, it is more fun in the Philippines, and it's still hands down one of the easiest places to get laid in the world.

Girls in the Philippines are for the most part very friendly and approachable and so it's easier all round. Leave it at that. The rest is up to you, and at least partly subjective.
Its pretty simple if you want 8s and 9s you need game, great looks, shit loads of money thats like top 1% of the worlds population, applies to any country in the world now.thats just the reality, if you can lay 8s and 9s in Phills you can also do it in USA or any other country.maybe in the 80s and 90s without acess to internet these 8s would consider a average white dude very exotic because there was very few options for women back then, less travellers and frankly you needed to approach to be in her potential dating circle followed by a akward phone call to her landline family house, now its just a swipe on tinder , welcome to 2018 the age of stress and smartphones and degeneration

A lot of people have such a weird attachment and obsession with this country and its people that they literally start foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs when someone might have some slight criticisms or negative commentary.
Incredible amount of negative energy and bad juju in this country that causes everyone to be at odds with each other.
Maine and Canadian lobsters are the same animal. Prove me wrong.

Reading stuff on reddit and reposting it on a forum is pretty much the same thing these days. Who needs to actually visit somewhere and experience it first hand when you can save your $ on a flight and just read about it online, mentally masturbate to the thought of going there, then repost what you've learned on a forum and pretend to be an expert.

Some more "truths" about the Philippines:
The real reason the economy of the Philippines is not excelling is not low IQ, the weather or chronic obesity (lol), it is the fact that the Philippines were fucked over by the USA, who only allowed the country to become independent a few decades ago. Naturally the building of proper institutions was hampered by hundreds of years of colonial exploitation. In addition the fragmented island nature of the country makes transport difficult. To this day the Philippines does not have a united language, its people remain fragmented linguistically.
The country is still developing and very much going in the right direction. Thankfully it avoided an idiotic civil war that caused catastrophe and hundreds of thousands of dead, like the US had to go through shortly after its independence.
Having said that a lot of women are semi-pro, and habitual liars, like everywhere. There is corruption, like everywhere, including America.
Even so, it is much more acceptable to a Filipina if you are 20 years older than her, people give you freedom generally to live your live there. You don't have to look like a model to score in Philippines. Of course it helps, of course you're not going to walk down the street and have women throw themselves at you. You'll always have to work, you always did, now or 30 years ago.
There is a lot more freedom in Philippines than in many other countries, it is indeed more fun in the Philippines.
The women have a silky touch and skin you don't find in Europe and NAmerica, they actually aim to please you above and beyond in the bedroom and are much more ready to let you raw dog than in other places.
Wherever you take a ferry there's twenty guys ready to carry your suitcase, taxis are still fantastically cheap.
You have the best Mexican restaurant in the world, Maya, in Cebu. One of the best Chinese too, the Shangri La in Lapu Lapu. You can have delicious suckling pig, excellent and cheap massages.
Some of the lesser known beaches like Bantayan's are not crowded with people, and ideal for relaxing. They have the best pineapple juice in the world, freshly squeezed, and one of the best Mango Ice Creams I had in the Bluewater Resort on Lapu Lapu.
In terms of IQ the Philippines takes a middle position among the world's countries, ahead of Mexico, Brazil, Montenegro, Albania, Indonesia, Egypt, and India, no mean feat given that the average will be dragged down by the victims of extreme poverty who can't attend school due to poverty.
https://www.worlddata.info/iq-by-country.php
There is no truth. There is only perspective. If you failed in the Philippines and had a bad experience you'll hate the country. If you had a great time there, like I did you'll love the country. It's just perspective.
But one thing is for certain, the girls are among the skinniest in the world, and one of the few places in the world largely spared by the obesity epidemic that has the USA and much of the rest of the world in an iron grip.
I'd say the real problem with the Philippines is that all of the best and brightest leave to go work overseas.
Not what the US Military might have done 60 years ago. The US Military leaving in 1991 has probably been worse for the Philippines than them being there was.
It’s been said here many times and it still rings true if you don’t dress well take care of yourself physically (workout eat well) and look good you probably aren’t banging 8s-10s whereever you’re from and probably won’t wherever go... sry fellas being white and or a foreigner won’t change that, you may get more pussy but the quality will not be top notch. As opposed to blaming the women or Instagram or all the other non sense I’ve heard in this thread maybe some guys here should work on themselves ie game, clothes, physically (gym, and diest). That may not get you 10s all day but your SMV will rise along with the quality of your bangs.
"I got no game it's just some bitches understand my story." Nas
I think you may have missed the point of being in the Philippines lol

The brightest and best don't go overseas, on the whole. The OFWs are made up to 80 percent of production and service workers, ie blue collar workers with little education. Just like with the US which was made up of those who could not feed themselves in Europe, criminals and religious fanatics, the very best of the Philipipnes do not leave. Doctors don't leave on the whole. Lawyers don't. If you come from a good family and have money what incentive would you have to leave? Very little.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_Filipinos
However, if you consider that the Philippines only became independent in 1946, that's basically an eye-blink. You're talking about the US in 1840. To build proper institutions takes time. The USA promised to leave the Philippines much earlier, but they did not keep their promise because they wanted to continue to exploit the country.
Now the Philippines is on the right track, and whilst it will take time they will be just as prosperous as most western countries are today and their education system will be greatly improved, as will their infrastructure. Things are getting better and better in the philippines.
here straight from Wikipedia, since some people wanted to know if Filipinos like foreigners:
The United States was consistently ranked as one of the Philippines' favorite nations in the world, with 90% of Filipinos viewing the U.S. and 91% viewing Americans favorably in 2002,[3][4] 90% of Filipinos viewing U.S. influence positively in 2011,[5] 85% of Filipinos viewing the U.S. and Americans favorably in 2013,[6] and 92% of Filipinos viewing the U.S. favorably in 2015,[7] and 94% having confidence in United States president, Barack Obama,[8] making the Philippines the most pro-American country in the world.[9] On October 20, 2016, the President of the Philippines announced a "separation" from the United States, both militarily and economically, in favor of alliances with China and Russia.[10]
