    That made me LOL!
    The towns of Olongapo and Angeles City were BUILT on money that 26 year old guys paid for their women.

    Seems counter productive to pay for women when you can get them all day for free.

    Latin America is easy for meeting women, the Philippines blows Latin America out the water.

    Took a 4 day short holiday to Manila to party. Had 6 women in that time that I meet online or at the disco. Only paid for the last one, I had 2K pesos to blow on my last day (3-4 hours before my flight) so I decided to donate to a chick from Havana Cafe in GB3.

    I'll be on a 1500 usd a month budget in the Philippines (rent included). Only will be able to afford to pay for cheap meals and a movie. lol Wouldnt be able to pay even if I wanted to

    Be Careful, not naive..

    When you are moving and bobbing around quickly and can disappear, maybe you don't have to pay. However if you stay in one place for any length of time it may be cheaper to pay than play the ladies as naive. Your visit to Manila included staying in a hotel and being very mobile is a large urban area. You probably lost contact with the ladies after leaving as it does not seem like you are interested in going to Manila immediately again.
    Your stay in Dumaguete will be different particularly if you rent a place to stay. Dumaguete is a little area, and the gossip moves at faster than the speed of sound. If you fart in the New McDonald, before you can walk to the old McDonald's everyone in the old McDonald's will have heard you have crapped in your pants while you were at the New McDonalds. Do not underestimate the FGN (Filiapina Gossip Network). The ladies here have nothing to do but gossip. In three days, everyone will know who you are, and you will not have to show your ID anymore or introduce yourself to the players in town (yes, the ladies are players here too). It is a small town and you are easily identified if you do not have dark hair, brown eyes, and brown skin and dress as a foreigner.

    You will be soon be hearing things like "you are a foreigner, I know my rights, I will have you arrested and deported" from the innocent looking young lady you though you played the night before. You will also hear from the police officer.... "sir this can be settled for 300,000 P." and everything will go away while he has your passport firmly in his hand. The ladies you play with are not playing for the first time. Jealousy and vengeance is like a deadly disease here, not for the person who has it but for the person who it is focused on.

    Be aware for the laws protecting woman here. They only seem to apply against foreigners. For an introduction read this recent article in the national newspaper: Philippine Daily Inquirer Digital Edition "Brit arrested for abusive behavior" which is about an one month live in GF who was insulted by her foreigner BF in the mall and had him arrested. Scary

    Be careful.... I am not defending the ladies action, I am just trying to make you realize this is not a cake walk... and the ladies you seem to be focusing on are looking for money and an escape from the Philippines with a foreigner... you are their target and much as you think they are your target. Everyone is on the hunt. Dumaguete has a large foreigner population, both residents, and visitors, you are not going to be the first foreigner they have met and dealt with, many ladies are here because of the qualities of foreigners available. They are up for the game. I am not condemning all Filipinas as being this way, but the ones you seem to be focusing on are not naive, and only looking for a short term lover. Come and enjoy, but do not be naive, be careful. If you treat the ladies with respect, they may just respect you back if you are lucky. If you are not going to treat them with respect... watch your backside.

    I have more experience in this area, than I would like to admit... so I wont admit anything... obviously this post was written by Imp while Dave was asleep again.

    Not sure if I would call it playing the ladies as naive. I am up front when I meet women and they know I am only in town for a short while and here to make friends and have fun. I actually have all the girls on my facebook from Manila and plan to stay a week or two there before heading to Dumaguete. Will probably see a few of them again.

    You are right about being in a small town being problematic. I have some experience with this in Colombia. Colombianas are quiet jealous as well. I can guarantee it will cause me some hassles in some fashion lol. Comes with the territory I suppose. I actually plan to dampen this slightly by having a lot of girls from Bacolod come to Dumaguete. Will need to think of some other preumtive measures as well lol

    I always treat ladies with respect so that wont be a problem.

    Will be interesting to say the least. Hopefully I wont encounter anything too serious.

    Thanks for the advice and words of wisdom.

    Don't listen to these old guys (no offense old guys). I've been here every bit of 2 years and have screwed more girls than I'd ever care to admit to. I've paid for many (had a contract gf before) and taken just as many of the prosti and college girls for free. I have NEVER had one threaten to call the police on me, and I've done some stupid crap that they could have used on me to call the police and had me thrown in jail for a LONG Time (nothing abusive but making certain types of purchases), or made some money off of me.

    The foreigners who get tagged by the police are generally wankers and treat the girl like sh*t and have some sort of superiority complex. I've seen these assholes belittling the the girls in public at why not, they are asses and deserve what they have coming to them. If you show them respect and be blatantly honest you will have no problems. Tell them your a tourist and you will likely have little to know problems, they will know exactly what you are looking for. Some prostitutes get jealous of each other, and for whatever screwed up reason in their head, they think since you paid them once that you belong to them. The staff and guards at the bar will take care of the crazy ones if need be.

    Imp is right in saying they will all know who you are before you can catch a trike at the airport. Word travels fast here.

    You'll have a good time.

    Yes they are possessive

    Remember what Charlie Sheen said "I do not pay them to sleep with me, I pay them to leave in the morning."

    If you call them prostitutes around the Dumaguete police, and the police will tell you that you have slandered the these young ladies who are just trying to look nice to attract a man in their scanty clothes and platform shoes and that you could be in trouble for your slanderous comments.

    Please read the article that I mentioned regarding the application of the law on crimes against woman here. you can read it on line. I am not accusing anyone of anything, but I will say that if you get one of the ladies who are have "screwed up reason in their head" there could will be problems. Some of the ladies have an attitude. The fellow in the article may be older than the two of you, but the ladies concepts and thoughts can be used against anyone of any age. The ladies are aware of the law, so you should be also. Or read Brian Aussie's post on 2-1-2012 here "Crimes against woman" on the forum written concerning the use of the law right here in Dumaguete against him. http://www.dumagueteinfo.com/board/...s-http-www-bwsc-dole-gov-ph-bwscweb-ome-10110 Laws here are applied differently to Filipinos and expats here in the Filipinos. You will most likely never see an article about a Filipino being put in jail for the same thing ... A filipino can get a lady pregnant and abandon her and have little problems where as a foreigner who calls them a prostituted can go to jail. Just be aware.

    You can still have fun while taking caution... it is just like wearing a condom, a little foresight can eliminate many future problems.

    The ones that give foreigners a bad name and leave a bitter taste (pun intended) in the girl's mouth are the one that promise them the world to get them in bed and then bails back to his country. The ones that come here and screw girls that are underage (and I've seen them on the boulevard in Dumaguete). Foreigners who come here and get trashed every night and are disrespectful to the locals and have a superiority complex. Ones that belittle their girls in public and treat them as no more than house help. That, in my opinion, is much worse than what I do.

    I go out, have a few drinks (rarely drunk), I play billiards, if I'm single I try to pick up a girl (which I am not single right now). Filipinos do the exact same thing!

    I travel around the country on rides and support the small filipino businesses. I'm very polite to filipino as long as they are polite to me, and many times when they are not. Get off your high horse.

    I'm sorry. There are always two sides of the story. I have been in the Philippines going on 7 years. No once has a girl threatened to call the cops. I'm not saying it could never happen, but if you are respectful and honest to them the chances of cops gettimg involved are extremely low. There are the crazy ones out there though. Just have to stay away from them, a quick conversation will usually let you know they are unstable.

    Dash: did you mention in the thread what time of year you are planning on visiting the Phils? The rainy season can really affect your ability to do the outdoors stuff, might be better to rent a car, or at least have that option as a backup plan to the scooter.
