SE Asian Woman Part 3: Face to face interaction with the Filipina first time (from a Western Point of View)

Meeting a Filipina can be a difficult task. You would have to deal with getting to know her, trip fare, and in top of that, her culture.

The culture is unique, it is not Asian, not Spanish, and definitely not American. When people come to the Philippines for the first time, they expect an Asian atmosphere with a relaxing aura just like the websites. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(This will be discussed in a later blog)

Do not be too trusting, staying overnight in your first night in Philippines, 1)Might be a Trap 2)You may feel really uncomfortable 3) You do not want to go to unknown places with all of your luggage. 4) Philippines is the number 1 capital of political assassinations. You may not be a politician, but as a tourist you do have enough money like them. JUST a thought and a warning. Now here is all the day 1.


Day 1

Meeting a Pinay for the first time after talking to her online can be an awkward experience. They are not as sociable as western woman nor talkative at the first 10 minutes meeting each other. Having patience is a virtue here. Day 1 can be a simple GO or NO GO.

GO:

• If she opens up and talks to you like you always have been online.
• Offers to pay
• Brings you a gift
• Meet parents (This is only a plus but usually Filipinas keep quiet about a foreigner at first from her family.) Optional
• Wants you to meet her friends (and not pay anything for her) Optional
• Keeps asking questions about the things you guys always talked about online.
• Decent dress (short shorts are normal since its hot, but usually if they like you they will want to impress you in a decent manner) 
• Does not accept things you buy her easily. (Gift meeting the first time or PASABULONG =[something] for when you welcome me" is a Filipino custom.

NO GO:

• Skimpy dresses with high heels
• Too much make up
• Has an nice phone but no Job
• Takes you to shops and giving hints she wants it
• Easily Accepts money
• Asks you for any money at all, even her transportation (A legit girl would cancel her date if she don't have money)
• Comes with friends and expects you to pay for their food or drinks (Used as a credit card)
• Teases you (in a sexual manner)
• Too many sob stories or I wish (financial)statements
• Catch her in 1 lie. Lies are Lies be careful.

Now look at the 2 photos side by side and just see the difference. Do not go out with girls who are overdressed sexually for the occasion, chances its her best hooker outfit.

Now here are some ways you should act with your Filipina before a relationship:

• Not complain too much about Philippines (It's so dirty, it smells)
• Compare countries (With U.S. or Thailand)
• Insult the food (yes it is horrible, eventually they will understand)
• Do not say anything negative about their family. (Most important to them)

Now giving you those tips, it can get you that relationship you want. 

Again, this is Day 1. 

Tips to get laid etc will be in another blog.

SE Asian Woman Part 2: Online interaction with the Thai

 The Thai woman has almost same aspects of a Filipino but you really have to be careful and respect them. SERIOUSLY!    Respect is a big deal in Thai Culture.

Blog will be posted once everyday 9pm-3:30am Pacific Standard Time.
In the online scene, most of Thai woman do not need a foreign man like the Filipina, they are very independent. That being said, most chances if you find a Thai online to interact with, there is a big chance of the language barrier.

The other drawback of finding one online (mostly discussed in part 1) is that you cannot talk any political issues or especially about the King. (Their king is everything so it can get you killed speaking about it the wrong way, We will talk about this in future post in details and loopholes for this).

Best way to meet these woman is going to Thailand itself to say it honestly. In this blog log, I don't want to set you up with bar girls or surprise ladyboys at the end. Again, its to find a genuine hard working Thai girl. (Bargirls will be discussed later by the end of the month)

Differences you will see during online interacting with a Thai compared to a Filipina:

• A Thai girl will work more than a Pinay, that daddy with the money relation if off the window
• They have a large complex culture, learn about it, and respect it.
• Language can be complex, especially most will be shy on Skype.
• Do not compare countries, its a Thai pet peeve
• Have patience, these woman work and study for a living. (Unlike Pinay that can text while at work)
• Be open to what she lectures, make sure it is a 1 on 1 conversation
• Unlike Pinays, they don't take as much photos, nor talk about food 24/7
• More Americanized than the Pinay. 

I gave a few points out with my many trips to Thailand, yet online interaction is kind of a mystery to me, especially since I dealt with them in their home turf (will be discussed Part 4). Just be careful in sending money, I cannot stress that enough.

I know you guys have seen angry expats living in Thailand...DO NOT BE ONE OF THEM!

They are actually shunned as SOCIAL PARIAHS! So respect the country, and do not be a PARIAH like the fat and old angry Thai haters in Youtube. 

Again, This is the Veteren Tourist, signing off, Have A Good One!.

SE Asian Women Part 1. The Filipina (online interaction)

Blog will be posted once everyday 9pm-3:30am Pacific Standard Time.

 Filipina women very in personalities, some from a hot flare temper to the docile ones.

Many websites try to stereotype the filipina (or Pinay) as a docile pet that can be bended at will, bought with monetary love, if you go to Philippines with that attitude, I am afraid sir, you will come to rude awakening.

Another fact is that these woman in the site are 10% scammers, 20% Bar Girls, 40% Webcam show host, 10% dead profiles, and 20%of the woman online genuinely looking for love.

That of course leaves us guys at a slim chance, so do not get jealous if your Pinay friend has over 30 guys on Facebook or her profile, chances are you have to compete against these other men.

Some men are adders, men who add and add constantly but cannot keep in track, other males are just friends who actually started talking to them for romance but did not work out between the two, and finally, we come to the males wanting to court. Remember do not get jealous if she is courting with another foreigner, it is not official and the are just trying to get to know each other. One thing is for sure, GET THAT CONSERVATIVE stereotype off the window, because truly, they are not.

Genuine Pinay woman for the most part:

• Want to feel sexy and wear skimply clothes (it is a norm and it is hot as hell in the country)
• Love to laugh and take thousands of photos
• Like long stories and long conversations
• Do not care nor ask about money 
• Are not looking for a male 20 years older than her age. (sorry older gentlemen but I will explain this)
• Keep you in their priority in their life, even if you are 20,000 miles away.
• Will pay their share and don't want you to spend money

Basically we have to think about how a woman in your country would feel if you tried to bribe them with gifts? Not good right? Same rules apply here. They want a compatible lover not more than 20 yrs older, stable, and can give them children. (Yes, that is why I don't keep relations because I do hate kids).

 The country also has it's bad apples and consequences when dealing with Filipinas:

Bad apples:

• Heavily parties, especially in known tourist spots. (Datinng around local foreigners)
• Tells you one job but seems to earn more than what she really does. (Might be bar girl)
• Is 18-30 and accepts a 60+ year old man. (In it for the money and gifts, chances she is a professional)
• Online but doesn't give you time of day unless there is something monetary
• Refuses to give her personal Facebook (all filipinas have facebook and a cellhphone)
• Knows perfect english and refuses for Skype or Webcam Voice call.(Might be scammer or ladyboy)
• Has an Iphone but she does not work and her parents are regular laborers( does not add up)

Again, these are the few general rules to talking to a woman, in Philippines, and rule Number 1 in a Filipina dating site, DO NOT ACT COCKY! AND DON'T SEND MONEY TO A PERSON YOU NEVER SLEPT WITH! Well have fun folks.

What we will learn about!

I am the Veteren Tourist (yes Veteren with an E, most veteran names are branded.)

This series of blogs is for people thinking about moving to the sexual tourist hot spots or Thailand and Philippines. Sadly, this lifestyle is not for everyone contrary to the popular belief that many "Living in Philippines or Thailand" sites say it is. Although both countries have its beauty and simplicity, we got to be honest here.

I don't go traveling there to view the beauty of the country. I go there for the sex scene, cheap cigs and liquor, and the living expenses that are literally pennies on the dollar. In this intro blog I will post once a week about the honesty of living on these countries, and not trying to make a quick buck like the other websites feeding you with lies and fabricating tales of everything you want to hear, and finally my so you can understand where I come from and how I ended up in these lecherous havens but, not all is just sex.

All Photos are from friends voluntarily giving permission, or taken myself.
This will apply to all post.

You read this blog to learn about:

• The women 
• Sex or Alternative Tourism Hot spots
• Living Norms of Thailand and Philippines
• Save money
• Living on the cheap cheap
• How to tell if your significant other is a scammer.
• Services available to expats 
• Making online businesses from SE ASIA
• Medical Facilities and the VA 
• Secrets into Picking up women in Asia
• and finally Getting free bar girls

Intro:

My name is Andy, I am a 30 yr old and  2 time disabled Iraq War Vet. I am medically retired since 25 yrs old. My first trip to Philippines was a job offer from a magazine in Manila and during my weekends I used to travel all over Thailand and the rest of the Philippine countryside. Being Latino in Asia has it's advantages but as soon as I talk it is a whole different story. I had made a few profitable websites, started a few legit businesses for consultant fees, and own a 2 story house in a gated community in a Philippine foreign hot spot. I have lived 2 years back and fourth from Thailand to Philippines without going back to the U.S., seriously, why would I ever wanted to come back? 

• For the curfew of bar and club closings?
• Drinking restrictions?
• Expensive drinks and liquor?
• High Costing rent?
• Snobbish American woman who have nothing good to show for?
• Crappy beaches and constant weather change?
• Join the American rat race and not be an entrepreneur?

That being said, I want to be a mentor to all who read this blog and follow it. I want all of you to realize that most of the sites that offer tips to living in Asia are just bull and inaccuracies waiting to make a quick buck.

Living 2 years I had made huge mistakes that almost got me killed, I don't want anything crazy to happen to my fellow expats and want them to enjoy their travels on a budget. Why? Well every Thai and Filipino vendor is out to get your money, trifling women, and liars. I am here to get you prepared and by the time you take your first trip, you will be smart as the "Veteren Tourist".
