$2K per month isn’t enough anymore.
>>2850090>2k/moMaybe if you only want to live near Mall of Asia and eat Grab delivery daily while also paying for a local gym membership and never walking. Sure. I got a good place with electricity and utilities included+balcony for 600/mo
>>2850095>live near Mall of AsiaIs this recommended to get women?
>>2850097No, if you have an issue getting women in Manila you must be one ugly son of a bitch 9/10 times. You can basically pick up women with little to no effort there.Mall of Asia is just private security everywhere and homeless people getting pushed to the side, it's fairly upscale of an area and where a lot of foreigners fester due to the higher class/more expensive things.
>>2850097>Is this recommended to get women?Getting women is gay. Work on yourself
>>2850100How easy is it to get college-aged women as a 5/10 Med-looking White guy?Also, how much should one expect to spend on high quality dining? I don’t want to eat Jollybees or street food. I also don’t want to eat tampered “nice” food (such as shrimp that’s injected with Chinese gelatin). If this is my concern, am I better off having a servant cook my meals at home? How much would that cost?
>>2850102You're going to Asia's worst place to eat. Food so bad you'll start getting angry and frustrated walking around looking for something even mediocre. I felt so relieved when I left and started eating well again in Thailand. Consider another SEA country. I've lived in SEA a very long time. Trust me.
>>2850102Literally as long as you showered and wear anything above Walmart tier clothes your fine. Dude college age chicks date 70 year olds like it's nothing there retard.
Are there any hard vaccine reqs in phils?
>>2850105>*You're going to Asia's worst placeFixed itHigh prices, snobbish attitudes, dishonesty, and general shittiness all around. But for some reason this board memes PH so hard.
>>2850190>this board memes PH so hard.it's because PH has that purple yam shit. nobody else has that
I live in a nice building for $600 a month. My monthly food budget is also about $600, but it would only be $200 if I cooked for myself. $800 leftover to do whatever with.2000 is totally fine. I push up to 3000 on a typical month because I spend on women and bullshit, but it's not necessary if you settle for a simple girl and have her live with you.
>>2850331Still sounds subpar compared to Thailand, Vietnam or even Malaysia
>>2850334I've lived all over SEA, PH has its upsides. Being able to communicate in English with everyone and network on social media is an enormous benefit for quality of life when it comes to relationships/dating.Pussy is also ridiculously cheap here and almost no fuss about condoms, which I hate wearing. There is also less stigma about age gaps, and nobody cares if you have teen whores coming and going from your place at all hours.Inb4 some type of crying. Keep in mind I'm simply explaining my perspective and why it has value to me.
>>2850335Does proximity to Mall of Asia or a university help?
>>2850335>almost no fuss about condoms, which I hate wearingMan I seriously hope you're on PrEP
>>2850356Mall of asia is a shithole zoo that is overcrowded and full of families with children all day long. It's not a good environment for dating. If you insist on being in Manila, live near greenbelt if you want to date and take women out.
We? NoYou? Yes
>>2850525Anon you do know that just because HIV is mostly affecting gay people it doesn't mean that you're magically immune to it, right? If you have frequent unprotected sex, even if it's straight sex, you will be exposed to syphilis, gonorrhea and other STIs, all of which increase your risk of catching HIV. If you have unprotected anal sex you're at increased risk of HIV, even if it's you putting the penis in a girl's butt. If you have sex with a woman who has recently caught HIV, you're at HIGHLY increased risk of HIV. And even notwithstanding all I just said, straight unprotected sex with a HIV+ woman still puts you at risk of catching HIV, just with lower chances than anal sex.Every time you're having unprotected penetrative sex with a stranger, no matter what kind of sex it is, you're playing russian roulette. You are very likely to get lucky once, ten times or even a hundred times, but you just need to get unlucky once, and you have HIV for life. PrEP is free with a lot of insurance plans you know. But hey don't let a stranger on 4chan scaremonger you, keep going at it if you feel good with your odds
>>2850335>I've been all over SEAYeah, sure you have. In fact, it looks like you copypasted a post from some coomer forum dated 2014 talking about how every girl is a "teen" (in 2025 they are all old women agefrauding), they only ask 1000 pesos (in 2025 they know their worth and they know how much guys are willing to pay), nobody cares about age gaps (they do in this looks-obsessed age, girls can't stand being seen with a grandpa anymore), and picking up girls on the Manila street is easy (they don't even glance at the average 30 year old incel tourist in 2025, let alone show signs of interest).Manila is easily the worst city in Asia, because it has all the filthiness and bad smells of other hypercrowded Third World dump, but with none of the friendliness and kindness that you encounter as a foreign visitor in other hypercrowded Third World dumps like Kolkata or Dhaka. As long as shills like you keep the "le easy teen" meme alive, suckers will continue buying flights to MNL and then getting reality checked as soon as they hit the streets.
>>2850614>>2850616It's real schizoposting hours on /trv/Looks like you did indeed have a lot of raw sex with Pinay sluts. Syphilis already got to your brain
If I want to check out the phillipines should I get a visa so I can stay longer than a month or will I be disgusted and want to leave by the time a month is up?
>>2850852You will most assuredly only need 1 month to determine if you love or hate the place. I recommend not spending it all in one spot, and keeping your baggage lightweight and easy to move around with.
