My plan to spend a month in Manila and Angeles City last summer fell apart when I had some medical issues, now resolved.  So, I've planned a new trip in March.  Similar itinerary, but a little shorter stay - this time only 16 days.  

 
If you've been there, you already know that these cities (and the entire chain of 7,000+ islands!) is pussy mecca. You can find every flavor of young beautiful Pinays who are willing, even eager to bang a Western foreigner - usually for a fairly low fee, (compared to US allowances). You can connect with civilian girls (cost = time instead of cash), massage therapists, "freelancers", Gogo bar girls, and even order on-line girls through a variety of apps - including Seeking.  

 
Being and OCD-level planner, I've done a ton of research, much like I did for my trip to the Dominican Republic in 2019. I've read countless blogs (on sites not mentioned on TER), watched hundreds of YouTube vlogs, even corresponded with men who are frequent visitors and/or current residents.  

 
As my departure date approaches in mid-March, I am now using several "dating" apps that localize in the Philippines to see what's available, so to speak.  It's terribly easy to get noticed and messaged on these apps once you set up a basic profile: just log in. In most apps you will get favorited and messaged in as little as 5 minutes.  Ok, 70% of these are scammers, online only, and/or just old.  But there are gems in the mix that look promising.  

 
First, I'll talk about what I've learned about the best way to use these apps.   Then I'll describe what I learned using Seeking specifically (it's the only app where I have a paid membership right now).  

 
In general, don't bother with any app until you are within two-weeks of your trip, and less than one week out is even better. The "legit" girls are looking to connect now and will only stay engaged for longer times if they think you are a simp and will send funds in advance. Of course, that's a direct violation of Sugar Rule #1: Never pay anything in advance.  But if you start chatting, build some interest and rapport and she says she wants to meet, you can work out some excellent BCD date arrangements with 65%-ish certainty they will happen. Now there is still no guarantee she won't flake, so set up back-up plans just in case. Those back-ups can include any of the sources I mentioned above which do not require any advance contact or planning, with the exception of civilians (who you will need to meet somewhere, talk/charm your way into a phone/text number and then date one or a few times).  

 
Now on to my 1st experiment with Seeking: A week ago, I added a line to my profile that I would be visiting Manila. Then I favorited about 12 profiles in Manila and another 10 in Angeles City.  Four responded with favorites and/or messages. Of those, the 1st sent me unasked for nude pics and a short nude vid and asked for money. I declined, of course. The next 3 all messaged that they were interested in meeting me when I land.  Of those, 1 asked for money for a "treat" on the 3rd day of chatting. I declined and told her I'll be very generous when we meet.  She has stopped replying.  With the remaining two, both said they live 1 or 2 hours away from the city. Both said they were happy to travel to me. BTW:  Just like in the US, it's common for girls to list their location in the city when they live somewhere else. This willingness to travel to me set me up to ask the following:  Will you be able to stay with me when you get to the city? Both said yes. Quite promising.  

 
But then both fizzled out when they also asked for money in the meantime before we meet. That's a no, of course. Lesson learned: I engaged too early!  

 
Here's my go forward plan:  

 
10 days before I fly, I will do the following:  
1. Change my SA profile location to Manila (this will be my primary loc, with no secondary).
2. Pay for the minimum level subscription for the 6 other apps that I'm told are useful. Total cost will be about $200.  
3. Wait a few days and see what interest I get.
4. About 5-7 days out, start actively messaging looking to land 3-4 meet & greets (or even confirmed BCD's) spread out over the time of my trip.  The potential for any successful M&G could play out to a several-day date for what will likely cost me less than $100 a day, including food and entertainment.  

 
And the availability of other avenues like Gogo bars, freelancers, ect., suggests my only limitations will be personal fitness and fatigue issues. I'm too old to be shagging 3 or 4 times a day!  

 
Anyway, I'll keep you posted....  

 
Life is good
