I made a thread almost a decade ago about living in china as a black man, it was great sharing my experience with yall. and after 6 years, I have since left. Now I live in the Philippines.

I get questions pretty much every time I log in. I figure instead of derailing threads, yall could post your questions here. Feel free to ask away.
Why are you over there?
You in Manila?
How is Manilla if you ever visited?

i know right? that and how is it being black? kinda sad really only race that asks that.
Well, other races and ethnicities can be xenophobic and we don't hold value like a white American would

:pachaha:That shyt is traumatizing.

Not to play spoiler to cats who aint watched yet, but my theory was ol' boy did what he did because he couldn't live with what his old lady was doing at work.
:wow:

That man had a heart of gold, he was so innocent and naive, I felt so sorry for him, but, I also wished more people were like him. His wife really was loyal (seriously look how broke they were and she stuck in there, look how happy she was when he got that shirt) but she did what she had to do for the kids. they just had to accept that L.

No lie tommy got the most body on the coli
And its not even close

@Tommy Knocks bro i remember when u posted ur 3some with those 2 thick girls on the server

And i was at home waiting for a text reply

:mjcry:
I have no idea of what you speak of. :whoa:

you're thinking thailand. they look kinda similar but 2 totally different people. PH is more conservative and christian. Thailand is buddhism and a different thought process.

Well, other races and ethnicities can be xenophobic and we don't hold value like a white American would
speak for yourself.

I have white americans and brits tell me I get girls BECAUSE I'm black. LOL.

its not because I'm black, its because I'm Tommy. As I've stated earlier, these 'rules' or generalizations' youre trying to portray do not pertain to me, these are things folks use to excuse their failures or success.. I do, what I want, my race, sex, height, whatever doesnt matter. its me. I do these things because its me. thats it. all this, "Its because you're white or because you're black youre american or bec...blah blah." nah. me, thats why. nothing more nothing less.

I'm just speaking on the general consensus, that may not apply to you and that's fine but that's very ignorant to think this doesn't influence thinking

again, I gave you a scenario where white folks said I get women BECAUSE I'm black (bbc), and theres some that think they cant because theyre black. and then theres some that assume people just like white folks for being white when in turn, you're mistaking money for white.

If you have your shyt together, and you're sharp, none of the above applies to you no matter the race.

I know a swagged indian dude that eats well. on paper indian men are some of the most swagless ass nikkas on the planet, and this dude will literally steal your girl. why? because hes him.

'general census' if you're black and over here, 9 out of 10 times you're doing well or at least enough. I dont know a single black american that has any issues here. the only thing is, we dont have numbers, so youre 'assuming' white americans will eat better because thats what you see. but if I just magically sent over lets say 100,000 well off educated and successful black americans here. what do you think would happen? :pachaha:

consensus my ass.

your point of view, type of thinking and general view of the world I only found it a lot in the minds of brehs that travel a lot, speak many foreign languages, can integrate into whatever country or culture they like. They don't generalise people and cultures, and try to learn and understand the different populations they come into contact with.
Some of the most interesting people i met were people that travelled and worked in different places.

My question for you is (one that i struggle with a bit): do you forget who you were ? like the person you were before travelling.
by travelling and discovering new people and ideas, you changed and adapted so much through travelling, that you somehow forget who you are?

A lot of people use that to ease their minds on their own shortcomings. Low self esteem is a bytch. But nikkas that act like sheldon from the big bang theory act confused why they arent getting any love back.

When i was single i didnt care how hot she was if she tickled the penis then it was a go. nikkas who only think 8+ are worthy of smashing or lost.

I don’t live there, but I was stationed in the Philippines for a few months while I was in the military, and I can answer this...

In my opinion the food there is terrible. Japanese food is way better..I’m more of a white meat chicken guy, but it seemed like most the meals there that have chicken in it is dark meat.

Also our chicken in America is filled with so many steroids, that the chicken there taste a little funny to me. I imagine that the chicken in the Philippines is how it’s supposed to taste without all the artificial shyt we put in ours.

I mainly ate Jollibees and other fast food places while I was there. The only local food I could stand over there was Lumpia..basically a Philippine egg roll
Lumpiang-Shanghai-Filipino-Spring-Rolls-Lumpia-www.kitchenconfidante.com-DSC_0536-620x580.jpg



everything @Tommy Knocks is saying is correct though. While I was there, I was in Angeles City (I think it’s a suburb of Manila) and they were nice folks. They had us in a rural part called Crow Valley as well where people are dirt poor..no running water, no electricity and they live in tin shacks, but those were the nicest people I’ve ever came across in my life.


The night life is fantastic, but I’m sure it’ll get old quick if I actually lived there. I wouldn’t mind spending the rest of my days there like them old Vietnam war vets :lolbron:

my only complaint about the Philippines is the weather. I thought Georgia was hot and humid as hell in the summer, but that shyt is on a whole other level over there. I’d never be outside in the middle of the day in the Philippines.

sorry for jacking your thread mane @Tommy Knocks i just wanted to share some of my experiences there.
Great post. Arguably better than OP's.
