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

Glad you're going to make that deferred trip, HTC. I appreciated your offer to help before my trip to the PI. Which was very successful, measured in terms of abundant, young, sweet pussy.  

 
You are clearly putting in a lot of effort. I'm almost embarrassed by how little effort I put in to have a girl every day and night I wanted one in Manila. As I reported earlier, one petite, mid-20s Pinay who stayed with me two nights traveled *13 hours by bus* each way at her own expense. My outlay for her, not counting meals, was less than 200 USD total. I almost felt bad not taking her back to the states with me.  

 
My next PI game is not to see how much young pussy I can get for how little $. I'm going to see what it takes to get 10-scale Pinays in my bed. The chicks I had on my last trip were nicely 8s. Maybe the PI are the best pool for landing some 10s.

 
We look forward to your report. Send us something from in-country!

Thanks for the insights.

Having gone through similar planning and debate before my trip to the Phils, I can say the plan is good in general, although perhaps a bit overkill (you don't need so many apps or time in advance necessarily).  I solely used SA and Tinder.  I got plenty of good responses In both cases, including some very hot girls, and I had more options than I had days (or stamina) in country.  It's indeed a target rich environment and the common use of English makes things much easier than many other destinations.  That said, my personal experience was that the hottest girls know their worth and are distracted by lots of attention, while there are many GND types that may not be absolute stunners, but are cute, sweet, and great fun to be with.  The 9's and 10's were also more likely to flake or ghost.  So, take a shot at a few dimepieces (hard to resist), but gauge your expectations, don't obsess over any one girl, and if you happen to connect with a beauty queen, try to seal the deal as quickly as possible (and you'll also need some game to distinguish from her crowd of admirers).  One other caution is ladyboys - had some time wasted on Tinder that way.  I think SA does a better job of screening them out somehow, while Tinder doesn't at all.  Good luck and report back.  

And I was so sorry for you when lst year's trip had t be cancelled.  You know we are all rooting for you and can't wait to hear how it goes!
