Black American in the Philippines AMA

[Tommy Knocks]

I ain't ugly, but I will admit my game ain't all that. With other girls, I know it's more about my approach or they just ain't feeling it. Asian chicks, they get hesitant.

they can play coy, ignore it, its just a cultural thing, say no as to not seem like a hoe. thats mostly the far east.

out here? filipinos? you really dont even have to say anything just dive in. the odds of rejection if shes made it to your house/room.....quite slim. she wouldnt be there if she wasnt feeling you. id ask for contact info. she gives that up, you're in, even if she tries to play coy as to not seem hoe-ish. "face" has value in the eastern world, and saving face is a mechanism they have to do as to not lose it. hard to explain.

How is the scenery there? How do you get around? Does every day feel like an adventure living overseas? Does the "vacation ecstasy" ever wear off?

every day? during a quarantine? no its been quite boring but I have females come over all the time.

vacation ecstasy? i dunno this just feels like normal life to me at this point, I feel vacation ecstasy when I go home and see an in and out burger spot.

Real weird to not see canada as number one and Im going to assume is because although we live there and go there alot......we come back home
Germany is high up there but those are military personal...I dont count that. Mexico is obv number one. thats just a given lol. thats pretty much a big ass retirement home for americans but yea mexico, canada, then id say here. Germany is close tho

Americans in the Philippines - Wikipedia

theres an estimated 600k to 1 million americans here ....and no ....not military because the base here was closed down.



I have a U.S passport, its like having a black amex card, I can live anywhere just fine. except maybe Russia, Iran and NK.

I'm a basic nikka that ain't even been out the US, I wouldn't know

How's the water quality in the city for bathing

Are you essentially bathing in less filtered sewage ?

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Ain't half of Filipinos living abroad to stack bread to send back home?
I think learned that from a Bourdain episode
Rest In peace to the God

Informative thread.
been to japan a few times but never thought about Philippines
If travel ever returns to something like normal I’d like to check it. What resorts and cultural/historical spots would you recommend?

Mowgli are you trying to make a move? Aren't you high enough in the IT world now to basically work from anywhere?

nah man water here is actually the same clean as america. its a tropical country, rain falls a lot ...HOWEVER

last year we had a drought and we only had water for 6 hours of the day for 3 months. that was hardship for sure

I know theres one cat named Parker? I think you gotta be half, but honest I dont know. I don't really follow PBA. Im a college football and billiards head. I actually became semi pro in pool and played for a league because I learned to play pool here back in 2006 and joined a league. I rather watch and play that than PBA.

but females here be all over PBA and soccer players. that ex I mentioned earlier got a kid with a soccer player. them senegalese and cameroonian soccer players BE EATING.

yeah i can see that ha*

Hard Work

hmmm the darker ones are everywhere. morenas we call them. I date MANY and tend to prefer them tho I do date the chinitas (chinese looking ones).

I hear theres a lot in the south, but Ive never been down there...again its not very american friendly there. Met a breh from the UK that was down there for awhile visiting his girl's fam, he said they didnt take kindly to westerners. and got a lot of stares. Hella different from the north island like Luzon where I live. Foreigners are in abundance, none cares, theyre used to us being around.

Morenas, chinitas


Is Spanish spoken there at all?

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Can you speak Tagalog?

Edit: Somebody already asked the question
