UPDATE, March 2007: From pessimist in the US to optimist in the Philippines (Why I like Filipinas the best)
There is good news now. As I'm writing this from the Philippines, I am happy to say that I am now a perpetual happy and positive optimist. How did I do it, you might ask?
Well it's simple, but it wasn't by changing "myself" (for I wasn't the problem). And it wasn't by changing my attitude, thoughts or going through some self-help/pop psychology/New Age program or seminar. In fact, I didn't even have to change myself or who I was. I just remained the same person. Instead, it was simply by changing my geographic LOCATION, environment and culture, entering another world so to speak. Let me explain.
In the US, no one talks to me except old people, I can't get any dates at all, women are completely anti-social to me, strangers act like I don't exist, and I am totally ignored and feel like I don't exist. Unfortunately, women in America generally don’t like to meet new people. They don’t even talk to you unless you are in their clique or they grew up with you, or it’s business-related. And that’s unacceptable to me. But everything I do to try to change all that seems futile, as if trying to change any of it goes completely against the flow and against the grain, inappropriate and out-of-bounds! Ick! It's a no-win situation, or a serious incompatibility at least.
So, with everything that I am suppressed, strangled, and invalidated, how could I possibly be happy or positive, when I can't be who I truly am or act out my nature of being an outgoing fun vibrant social butterfly? It's simply not possible, nor is it natural.
But on the other hand, here in the Philippines, I can be who I truly am, and when I do so, it gets very POSITIVE results! The social environment here completely allows, encourages, and adds fuel to my very social outgoing nature, especially with women! Here, I NEVER have to be alone if I don't want to. I ALWAYS have many hot women to choose from, of all types - dark skin (chocolate), light skin (vanilla), medium olive color, cute, sexy, tall or short, etc. (If you think my ice cream comparisons are bad or cheesy, get this - when a dark skinned and light skinned Filipina are together, they like to refer to themselves as "coffee and cream") Often I have so many contenders that I don't have time for them all and have to cancel a lot of plans!
Best of all, these sweet cuties and angels in turn see me as attractive, handsome, cute, interesting, charming, significant to them, etc. etc. and that completely VALIDATES who I am! I completely exist and matter to the women that I'm ATTRACTED to here! And that's HUGE! It means more than words can say. Everyday here, I feel like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise! Literally. No exaggerating here.
Thus, I am finally allowed to be the social butterfly that I am, as well as positive, confident, optimistic and happy. How can I not be, when all my fantasies and desires and wants/needs are being fulfilled here, naturally and with the flow too!? Simply put, who I am is ACCENTUATED here, rather than invalidated or suppressed.
Some people here even say that I'm the most positive and confident person they've ever met. (If only they knew where I was coming from!) The difference is astounding. It's like a completely different universe where I'm a completely different person. The magnitude of my dating life here is literally "out of this world" (out of the world of America that is).
And it's not because they all want my money or a green card to the US either (though there are a portion of bad apples, scammers, and hustlers here that I sometimes run into), because
* Many girls here don't care about my money and STILL like/love me even after they see that I'm a cheapskate and very frugal. They don't even care if I spend money on our dates, as they just like "being with me" and enjoy my funny, charismatic, positive, enthusiastic, personable personality.
* Also, and my cultural consultant attests to this too, most of the Filipinas I’ve met or dated here prefer that their boyfriend or husband stay with them in THEIR country. After all, family is everything to them, and they prefer to remain close to their immediate and extended family. But if their lover insists, they will try to go overseas, albeit reluctantly. That right there DEBUNKS the common American misconception that foreign women date American men only for a green card to the US.
* Besides, I’ve even slept with several whores here (from bars, clubs and pickup places) for FREE, simply cause they liked me and found me sweet, romantic, tender and charming! They never asked me for any money! Imagine that. That could never happen to me in the States. That proves right there that they aren’t after me only for money, but that I am very likable and charming to them. And I’ve gotten FREE kisses here from HUNDREDS of girls too, including French kisses from bar girls and dancers that I never paid or bought commissioned ladydrinks for (and NO, they don’t do that to every guy!).
* Both normal girls and bar girls do "special things" for me that they don't do for other older richer guys or customers. (I can't get into details about it since it wouldn't be appropriate to describe here :)) But this also proves that they don't like me just for money, since I am treated better, given favoritism and preferentail treatment over other guys who have more money than me, due to my higher likeability. Some bar girls have reached down from the stage to give me a kiss on the mouth, which they don't do for most customers.
* Also, I'm able to get acquainted and befriend middle class girls here who have enough money themselves not to need a guy (which I can't do in the states). Sure, the middle or upper class girls aren't easy to "pick up" in public, but they find me interesting and likable too, once they get to know me. And they are willing to spend personal time with me, unlike girls in the US who always make excuses and say they are busy.
Some guys see everything in terms of money and economics. Well I’m not one of those type of guys of course, for I consider many other deeper factors. Not every guy with money can duplicate everything I’ve done. Looks, personality, and attitude are strong factors too, among others, and in this culture, I rank high in those areas to them, which is why I often get preferential and special treatment from girls here that richer guys who are more shallow and not as personable or likable don’t get. Let me give you a little pep talk though. In reality, human beings are very complex, and don’t fit into overly simplistic pet theories like “She just wants you for money”. People often don’t make sense and don’t even understand themselves even. So these one shot labels and formulas put together by shallow know-it-all people to try to explain other people just don’t hold in reality. None of the girls here would claim that they like a guy ONLY for money or a green card. (Likewise, no one considers themself “bad”, “evil” or “crazy” either, as we all consider ourselves justified in what we do) These are merely labels we put on others to explain them in OUR MINDS. And in this case, the “they just like you for money and green card” theory comes from the mouths of judgmental people who like to jump to conclusions, and maybe are “all about money” themselves. But they can only speak for themselves, not for others.
In fact, some of the relationships I have here even eclipse the romances portrayed in Hollywood films, to the point where when I watch them, I say to myself, "I have a lot better than that in real life!" And that's something I could NEVER EVER have said in the USA! In fact, I don’t even watch TV here (like the millions of couch potatoes in America, of which I used to be one of) because I have no need to, as my REAL LIFE is more exciting to me than what’s on the tube!

The most significant difference for me is this: When I am sociable and outgoing to girls in the US, they think I'm a creep, and react with hatred and/or antisociality. But when I am sociable and outgoing to girls in the Philippines (and in most other countries), their response is overwhelmingly positive, and react with enthusiasm and/or attraction. That's a whole world of difference. As an incredible example, when I go to the local mall here in the Philippines, about 90 percent of the girls will give me their number if I ask for it, even if they are really hot and the kind that you would say “ouch!” and consider out of your league! 90 percent! But in the states, that percentage is…….. yep you guessed it, zero! What a universe of difference! In fact, most of the time, they enjoy being "picked up" and "hit on", finding me charming and attractive. And my sweet talk and compliments make them feel good about themselves, so they like being with me.
Likewise, the biggest difference between my life in the Philippines and the US is this: When I am dateless in the US, all I can do about it is masturbate, watch TV to escape loneliness, and eat potato chips/junk food. And if I can find people to hang out with, it’s usually only guys. But in the Philippines, I’m NEVER dateless or lonely. I have so many hot girls gunning for me and contacting me that I don’t have time for them all and have to cancel on them or postpone them! My only disappointment is not having enough time and not having enough of me to go around for all the hot chicks available here! (especially when each one wants me to be “the only one”!) Thus I am constantly desired and in demand by a neverending supply of hot chicks! Now, again that’s a whole UNIVERSE of difference, beyond belief, yet TRUE!
In short, here I LIVE the kind of love life I’ve always DREAMED of!
In my opinion, Filipinas make the best girlfriends, lovers, and friends. Compared to females in the other Asian countries, they aren't as strict, serious, prudish or hung up. Instead, they are more relaxed, carefree, happy-go-lucky, easygoing, playful, passionate and sensual. They are also very nonjudgmental and nonracist. And they have a great sense of humor, enjoying the silliest things which easily amuse them. Thus, you can always have fun and joke around or play with them, even if you have nothing else to talk about. That's so nice and refreshing, especially when you are so accustomed to antisociality and hostility from women in the US.
Best of all, they LOVE to flirt. When I flirt with girls in the Philippines, they not only enjoy it, but it actually ADDS FUEL to our chemistry (whereas in the US, flirting with girls "creeped" them out and emanated a vibe of hostility from them). And that's a big thing to me, because I am a big-time flirt!
Filipinas are also a great blend of outer and inner traits. Ethnically, they are Asian, Malay and Spanish, resulting in a very exotic and beautiful mix that is very pleasing and sensual to the eyes. Their exotic sexy sensual olive complexion ranges from light to dark shades, all of which are sexy to me and many other foreigners here. And their attractive highly feminine appearance is combined with a tender romantic loving/caring inner side to them – a fantastic blend to say the least.
They have this warm sensual tender touch in them that white women definitely don’t have (not to sound racist). I’ve experienced it and can understand now why so many foreign men are addicted to the Philippines and to Filipinas. I think it’s a genetic thing, not just a cultural thing, as you can feel it to the bone (and soul). Not to sound racist, but just as brown sugar is healthier than white sugar, and brown rice is healthier than white rice, (as any nutritionist will tell you) perhaps brown skinned women are healthier for your mind, body, and sanity as well. They seem to bring this natural balance to your life and soul.
Thus, I’d say that even if you didn’t have a taste for Filipinas or Asian women before, if you come to the Philippines, you soon will. Once you’re here and experience females of this caliber, any preferences you had will simply go “out the window.”
They are also a great blend of White and Asian traits. Their Spanish blood makes them much more wild, relaxed, passionate and expressive than Orientals such as the Chinese, Japanese, or Koreans, who are non-expressive, robotic and overly serious and strict in comparison. And they have big round eyes that are considered attractive in Western Culture (although to my surprise, my slanted Asian eyes are considered more attractive in Filipino culture than their big round eyes are). They have all the physical beauty of thin feminine Asian women in light and dark colors (“vanilla and chocolate” so to speak), as well as their humble, modest, sweet, pleasing, soothing romantic nature. The only drawbacks to them are that they don’t like to think much, don’t like to answer questions or provide explanations when asked to do so, and are sometimes moody and quiet for unexplainable reasons that they refuse to discuss. It seems in their nature to be that way. Thus you don’t get much intellectual stimulation with them. But the good news is that it’s much easier to train and educate them than it is to teach a Westernized woman to be sweeter and more loving.
Although Filipinas aren't as intellectual, educated, or deep-thinking as the European women are, they make up for it in their other qualities. They have this essence about them, warm sensual tenderness and a way of treating you that makes you feel needed and loved, like a real man, in a way that you had always wished and dreamed deep down but never dared hoped for. It's beyond words - something you have to feel and experience as a man to understand. And when you do, you realize it's what you had always wanted.and even friends. They are tender, sweet, passionate and fun.
In a way, it's like they give new birth to your heart, for if your heart had lost faith in love, they awaken it and renew it with their child-like hope and belief in love, making it a reality for you, and making you a believer again as well.
The bottom line for me is that here in the Philippines, I feel APPRECIATED, VALUED, DESIRED, WANTED, LIKED, LOVED, NEEDED, etc. (I have cute girls following me around as if they’re hypnotized!) whereas in North America I constantly felt ALIENATED, ALONE, IGNORED, UNDESIRED, UNWANTED, NONEXISTENT, and worst of all POWERLESS to do anything about it. In short, all my WANTS, NEEDS, DESIRES, and FANTASIES are fulfilled here.
Basically, it’s like this: Here, there is ALWAYS ACTION to be had, so I am never bored. I can always go out, have fun, get hot girls, and any type of action I want or need, ANYTIME! Contrast that to back in the states, where I was forced to stay home all the time, as no one wanted to meet me if I went out, so there was no point. There was nothing to do, no action to be had, no one to meet, no fun to be had, etc. It was complete boredom and suffocation, as well as loneliness and isolation. (Yuck!) But now that I can get action anytime I want here, or have fun whenever I want, there’s a reason for me to go out everyday! Wow. I NEVER have to stay home and be bored if I don’t want to here! In fact, there’s always something going on here that is fun and wild that I can PARTICIPATE in interactively (I won’t give you specifics, but leave it up to your imagination), not just sit back and watch passively, more than there is time for! Best of all, there are ALWAYS tons of hot/sexy/cute/gorgeous girls who constantly want to meet me, be with me, have fun with me, get wild with me, and whatever escalates between us, MORE than I can handle! It’s literally a “sex babe Disneyland”!
And I gotta tell you though, when you can go out and get hot girls, dates and action ANYTIME you want, and you have hot cuties gunning for you daily, it’s an INCREDIBLE FEELING. Nothing beats it! It feels as though you’ve transcended the barriers and physical laws of the universe! And it makes any sacrifices you make to be here definitely WORTH IT.
Anyone who saw my life here and my life in America would think that I was in two different universes. I’m serious. And anybody who witnessed the difference in person would never blame me for saying all these things either. That I can GUARANTEE. I have literally thousands of photos now, from Russia, Europe, and Asia to prove it all – how different my social/love life really is here vs. back in America.
To see visual proof of what I’m talking about, see my new photo collage from the Philippines: www.nobodylovesmeevenmymom.com (http://www.happierabroad.com/ebook/Collage2.htm) And this photo of me and girls says it all too: www.mymomisdisgustedthatshegavebirthtome.com (http://www.happierabroad.com/P5060062.jpg)(gee do I look happy there or what? Lol)
So, contrary to what New Agers and attitude fanatics (the "you create your own reality" crowd) think, I didn't become a happy optimist by changing my attitude, thoughts or beliefs, but by exercising my power of choice and braving it out against the fear of the unknown, by going to another location on the other side of the globe.

Well, he seems to forget the part that he's an American who pinays are brainwashed that are all rich. He probably is rich for their standards.
But anyways, I've really been looking to go there. Not for women, but for the opportunity to live in a metropolis and own my condo...and be a bigger fish in a smaller pond in terms of jobs (EVERYBODY HAS A FUCKING DEGREE IN THE US).
I really can't blame this AA brother though. I bet many girls have written him off simply because he's Asian...and having no game from the looks of him makes his case even worse.

ANY man of any color with the simple fact the guy is from AMERICA will get girls from 3rd world countries. All you need to do is flash your passport and the almighty dollars. Face it, many women in piss poor countries think America is the land of opportunities and all Americans are rich even when they are losers.
If you got no game in America, the fact is all suddenly you got game you got to realize the motivations of these girls.

Almost everybody has a "fucking degree" in the Philippines as well. A "fucking degree" won't guarantee you a job there either. If anything, most of the lucrative jobs that can afford you a condo are controlled by either the Fil-Chi's, Kimchee's, or Kastilaloids. They run their shit pretty tight, and if you're not one of them (which also means you've got to be an Atenean or La Sallite), then you'll probably be scrambling to find a job like the rest of the college grads.
But then again, you're probably an American right? So you have the luxury of being the bigger fish in a smaller pond, like you said. Flash those dollar signs and parade that eagle-emblazoned passport and you'll get your way, right? Cool beans. Throw that weight around the pond and disturb the waters.
It sounds so familiar....
Seriously, just because the PI is a 3rd world country doesn't mean every fucking single Pinay salivates at the sight of a dollar bill or a fucking blue passport. 3rd world does not automatically equate to desperate or unedumacated (yes, that was on purpose). Even some of the squatters I hung out with back then had more brains than some of the soapbox zombies I've seen post on this forum. In fact, living in a 3rd world country teaches you things that no college around here can teach. Grit, street smarts, and the ability to tolerate massive amounts of BS (served super-sized on a daily basis).
Earn a "fucking degree" in that then I'll give you props.
Pinoys are not as clueless as some of you might think. We know what the deal is. We do what we do to survive; hopefully prosper. Last I checked it wasn't considered immoral to seek betterment for oneself.
And if you can't appreciate that, then I've got this balisong that would love to make your acquaintance. Specializes in high-horse removal.

Yup American grad. I'm thinking of working a few years as a science teacher while getting my masters.
And sure, they have tons of people with degrees there. But look at some US cities. You'll have 80% of some cities holding BA's or higher. Engineer jobs pay bullcrap. The only high paying jobs in the US are in the medical field.
I don't think I'd get my way completely. At the same time, I'll have a higher chance being that you don't have fierce competition you do here in the US. UC Berkeley used to mean an automatic high paying office job. Now it doesn't mean crap.
Medical Schools in the US are hard as hell to get into even though the curriculum is easier than in the Phillipines. 4.2 GPA was the entering class for goodness sakes. It's not half as hard to get into medical schools in anywhere in the world.
Whether it be the phillipines or south america, or eastern europe, I'm trying to find a place that is affordable to live. And that place isn't America. 300,000 for a crappy house in Fresno. Can you believe that? I'm looking up condo costs in Manila, and you can get a nice furnished studio in the good part of town for between 50-60K USD! In San Francisco or New York, that's not enough for your downpayment!:mad:
As for street smarts. You are correct. Degrees don't mean anything. Too bad that's now how the world works. Most college kids are idiots. They have no common economic sense. I'm arguing with these kids as to why Texas is a better place to live than California because of cost of living and they completely write off the importance of cost of living. They just keep saying the same cliche BS "Texas has hicks"...even though cities like Houston are as diverse as they come..."Cali has in n out"...not realizing Texas burger joints serve huge portions..."cali has sports teams"...even though Texas has just as dominant football and b-ball teams...and even a few said "california is worth the cost of living because you can go to the beach...who cares if you commute everyday 2 hours to work"..
I feel ya. College kids are fvcking naive idiots. Am I naive about Asia? Hell yes. But at the same time, I'm sick of living in these american suburban hellholes. I need to live in a place where I can go out in the middle of the night and still see people in the street. I need to hear the roar of traffic to lull me to sleep. I need to be able to see beautiful skylines. I need to be able to not have to drive everywhere and be able to take public transportation.
Suburbs suck. So if you don't want me to consider the Phillipines, please suggest me another place with an affordable metropolis ;)...
..btw, I've already been looking into Philadelphia, PA in the US, which seems to have affordable housing, I'm also considering there..

It aint easy here pare. As someone that isn't Filipino (unless you are) you will have to fight your whole way to make it. Another thing, you won't be a bigger fish in a smaller pond in this country. You will be a very small fish swimming around Chinoy money, old Estrada money, Kano money, Korean money, Japanese money, and so on. Remember this country is no stranger to outsiders taking them over and they have got it down to a science. End of the day, Filipino's only let money come into the country they can have control over. So if you come here and spend your money like the majority of other short timers that come here (which Filipino's love to take that money) you will be totally cool. However if you come here in hopes of taking a Filipino's job at a higher pay, well good luck.
Not saying it can't be done, just saying you better make sure your skin is thick cause if you are caught up with racial paranoia here, you will be on a quick boat back to 'the land of the free'.
I believe that if you want to live in an affordable suburb that is much cleaner I would rcmd Seoul, South Korea. Despite the fact that the cost of living is fairly high I found the income vs cost of living to be extremely good. I was able to make money, save over 60% of my salary, live in a nice apartment, eat great food, use amazing public transportation, and meet some cool cats. Work there, save your money, and buy a vacation home on the beach in the Philippines.

Seoul looks attractive, but I thought they had one of the highest educated populations in the world? I heard Eng teachers get paid like 25-35 an hour is that true?
What parts of China are good?
Anyways, my plan, if I chose to do the Phillipines would be to work in the US for a few years and buy a condo there...then hopefully get an okay paying job. That is if I were to do it.
But man, I just have big city blues. And I want to live in one I can afford. I hate the suburubs with a passion I tell ya. So the minute I saw affordable housing in the Phils, and that skyline, I was like, man, that sounds interesting. What jobs are in demand there? How much do teachers there make?

CJF,
It really depends on what kind of work you are interested in and your experience/education. Concerning English teachers in Seoul area, yes it is true that English teachers make 25-40 an hour but it takes a little negotiating and searching to get a job like that right off the plane. The ESL business (especially Business English) is the easiest to get into considering the population is very highly educated but their English skills are not ranked very high in SE Asia.
I'm not sure with China as I have yet to go there but I know that the salaries are picking up. If I wasn't getting set-up here I would be really interested in making the insane jump over there, especially with the olympics coming soon.
Going back the Philippines the best way to set-up here is to establish your own small business which requires a Filipino partner. Teaching jobs are possible but the salary is low, call center positions (training, managing, etc) are here if you can get into the door, and a few others. I still rcmd the small business aspect though.
Hope that helps.

Small business start up? That sounds interesting. Well, I'm probably going to have a masters in Biostatistics which deals with public health and pharmaceutical trials, bioengineering, etc.
Where do you think in Asia has those types of jobs?
BTW, thanks bro. I'm just longing for living in a metropolis after living 10 years in suburban dumps where you drive from air conditioned car to airconditinoed building...where you have crappy Asian food...no entertainment...BAH I HATE THE BURBS!

I swear he's like my evil, stupid, defeatist, counterpart. The Bizarro to my Superman. The Penguin to my Batman.
That pussy little callous on my big toe that just won't go away.
Sure it's fun to go overseas (hell I'm going to Australia to help some Asian brothers), but I'm not going to leave my home in the good ol' USA just cause it's a LITTLE tougher.

bragging about banging chicks in the Philippines is sort of like bragging about winning the Special Olypmics.

I used to volunteer for the Special Olympics, and I think those kids have lots to be proud of. They train hard for what they do, and they deserve the highest praise. So I'll respectfully disagree.

Special Olympic kids>>>>>this guy;)
anyways, you guys are right. When you go to any impoverished cuontry and you are from the US, they think you are rich and want to latch onto you. When you were raised worrying when the next meal comes from, you are going to try to find a man who can make sure you eat everyday and future kids eat.
That's not gold digging. That's called life. And guy has nothing to be proud of. COMMON SENSE. But I do kinda feel for him because I imagine he got absolutely none in the US by the way he looks. :(

Thanks, nightshade!
Incidentally (and I don't want to derail the thread) volunteering for the Special Olympics is one of the most rewarding volunteer experiences I've had.
Anyway, carry on...

What do you expect from someone who's never had a woman without flashing cash or swiping a card? Hala!

oh i think Filipinas are definitely worth banging. i just don't think it's anything to brag about. maybe if you manage to bang Miss Philippines or some celebrity Filipina, then you've earned your bragging rights.
i mean it's pathetic enough when some Asian dude brags about banging white chicks. bragging about banging chicks in an impoverished country is even more pathetic. it's like, congratulations, you're doing what 95% of the male American population can do.

i'd like to add my own experience of finding love, in host clubs.
i was walking down the streets of tokyo, when i was approached by a young man in pointy shoes, dyed, spikey hair and pants so tight i could see his junk pulsating.
he invited me back to his club to "chill".
it was totally fun...it cost me like $500, but i think it was worth it...for love.
but, i broke up with him when i saw him the next day, back on the street trying to pick up other chicks... :(
