smart if your using dating apps. i have written a huge write up here, that explains it.

Always go to a city under 2 mil for dating apps to be successful. Less guys the bitches have to chose from, the more your value goes up

Esp in small cities if you approach. A lot of chads in those big cities even tourist and girls act entirled

Even if less matches
 
If it makes you feel any better I was grifted at the airport for 3000 pesos when I didn’t understand currency conversion for just airport taxi ride. Anyway that’s the price of a taxi ride in first world cuck countries from airport.
 
the more i look into Manila the less appealing it seems. too overpriced for what you're getting. i think i'll not go

i'll stay in jakarta instead and rot for a bit after singapore trip is over. already stayed there for 2 weeks and it was comfy

Its not a bad choice. It's just different issue with girls

Jakarta - screening out Muslim and non Muslim
Philippines - Screening out the stupid

It does make me feel slightly better but sympathetic. Worst was I scammed to him about airport scammers and went to try it as I wasnt worried enough. 0 trust and reason foreigners don't return

By stupid, I mean some girls aren't able to understand basic etiquette of being on time even if good looking. Or how to make money. Or how global economy works. The basics any European girls would be educated in school.

I know a guy who's really into that since those girls are really easy to sleep with and sends them home

How exactly was Jakarta comfy?

It's not really cheap either and the traffic congestion is equally bad in both cities.

hotel i stayed in was good, and stuff in stores + grab food was cheap. people were nice.

only big issue was some of the food in the local places got me really sick and made me throw up a couple times, and food is quite a bit hot, spicier than the spicy food in singapore.

and yes the traffic is a nightmare, but i just took the train to get around.

I wish they had a lot more lines, then it would be a liveable city. Like in Guangzhou for example, i didn't even book a single taxi.

i didn't even eat any street food jfl was all just random shit from grab that looked yummy, since it was 10x cheaper, compared to food prices back home. i was way too afraid to have a moment like that where i didnt have access to a private bathroom

and i wish they also hold the doors open for longer, they only stay open for like 0.0001 seconds, compared to singapore mrt which waits much longer. i got the doors shut in my face 3 times.

it is possible to navigate by foot, but it's just a waste of time, because the city is so massive.

I didn't dare to order those either because i thought "how do you know it's not the same street food type of guys just sending their rotten trash?" And the answer is you don't, thanks for confirming. 😄

i just chalked it up as an immune system skill issue - knew it was gonna happen so i stayed by my bathroom at all times. food didn't taste bad either, was actually pretty good, just way spicier than other asian food.

train (buses get right of way in traffic and are about 5 to 30 cents a trip) and grab taxi bro (i never ride the scooters)
ex indo brother in law one time i asked a question "what happens if you hit one of these scooter guys"

he looked at me DEAD SERIOUS..."you don't stop you just keep going" So he was super serious about hit and run. FUCK THAT! I take minimum those baja's (tuktuks) i want some protection around me

the traffic is so bad, no police officer is going to catch you. until days after the fact. At that point you can bribe your way out, cause chances are no one had a phone out or will be a witness.

In Philippines everyone has TikTok in their hand so they film everything. That's why when there's a crash they film
