Ok noticed been few questions in posts and shoutbox last couple days about "dating" sites. Figure this might be something I can contribute a tiny bit on for newbies. Lot the old dogs here already have the knowledge. For a month now Ive done a bit playing around on 3 sites, mostly started out of curiosity, then got into learning the ends and outs. heres few things have learned by experimenting with different accounts, profiles, pics and such...
*** Disclaimer: Im not endorsing the use of any specific site. The following is all personal opinion and others will have totally different views.
The three sites I have most experience is with http://www.dateinasia.com (aka DIA) http://www.pinalove.com (aka pina) and http://www.filipinocupid.com ( aka FC) There is quite few others like http://www.blossoms.com and http://filipinofriendfinder.com but cant really say much about.
Date in Asia: covers several asian countries. Cheapest to use.. as in FREE though low quality features and single pic on profile. Tons and tons of women to be had. IMO the most common to find FL/BGs mixed in, but plenty of "relationship" looking as well. Possible the largest honeypot used by pinay
Pinalove: has both free and sub service. Drawback on free is few missing features and can only send message every 10mins; which can be pita when trying deal with multiple chats at once. Good mix of pinay looking for pay and the more serious. I prefer this site myself because gotten the best contacts from here. YMWV
Filipinacupid: One the longest running (formerly filipinaheart) Professionally done with plenty features. Downside is while can browse and trade interest for free, got sub to read your mail. While have found few BGs/FLs here, Id say more are on the "serious side" or scammers claiming to be. Another highly populated site
now... the tips Ive figured out thru experimentation
Your Age... while there is always exceptions, majority the girls dont care about your age. They see older men as more responsible, financial stable, less likely to cheat (why would that 50yo go looking for other when has my 20yo cooch)
Your Looks... They dont seem to as centered on looks as lot western woman. Possibly because as we find asians to be exotic and less picky on looks, they look at western men same way; who knows. I even had one trying to tie me down for relationship say shes perfer I gained lot weight so didnt have worry other filipinas "alley cats" stealing me..
Your Pic... smile damnit. Ive tested this with different pics and your margin of interest will skyrocket if you smile big in your pic. If not youll still get some response but guarantee youll quickly be asked why not smiling in pic. remember they initially choose to send interest by you pic not what your profile says.
Her Pic... pretty much figure the pic will be old most of the time. Generally they use one from when was younger and thinner. Also check date joined.. even if pic was current then.. how long has it been? You cant judge too well on how "sexy" the pics they use. At first I figured if scantly clothed she was a party girl (fl/bg) and if covered up a "good girl." You really cant go by this. Even the "good girls" have figured out sexy pics grab mens eyes faster; so its not good indicator of personality or what they are after.
Her Profile.. yeah yeah, they all good woman, serious for relationship, godfearing and looking for the same. Apparently they look at what others write and copy it, but doesnt mean jack. Have gotten plenty of "good catholic girl" to bare all on cam.. it doesnt mean jack. Things to watch for.. looking for rich, hard working, generous, successful, stable, ect.. translation: shes applying for a WU Scholarship. Also.. "a man that can accept me for who I am" 90% time means.. shes either a BG/FL, has kids, a ladyboy, or married (remember no divorce in PI and annulments are pretty freaking hard to get no matter what she tells you) Moment see that comment in profile, find out what it means and decide if you can deal with.
Your Profile: doesnt matter what you write they dont read it. Ive tested this extensively and they ook at pick to decide to send interest. That being said.. they will eventually read it. Once lines communication been started they will go back and read your profile and dissect it.
Now to the communication..
Expect right away they going to want to ym or skype. They want to see you on cam immediately. Dont think this means your about to see her nude and playing with herself instantly. Guess they seeing if you look like pic or if you not able cam cause wife in background or million other reasons; but expect it fast. Majority not into trading dozens messages back and forth on the site.
Dont make initial contact short and lame "hi sexy" "your hot babe" ect. ect. Even if shes a "working girl" they seem to want you to put some effort in to catch their eye from the other hundred guys contacting them and using the same tired crap.
Do I really have to warn you how many are going to ask for money? Have you read nothing on these forums? Its going happen often, and fast.. sometimes first contact, sometimes youll make it to the 3rd contact. But expect it. Babies need shoes, water buffaloes trip in creeks and drown, brothers get bite by cobras..
Dont be a idiot. You want to toss out the money then go to a camsite or get your ass to AC and barfine; so that you know what your getting in return. Ive gotten plenty naked pics and cam shows without spending a dime, you dont go to do it. And if your looking for true love... that should be instant red flag
Now not going tell you what to say, get your own rap. But keep in mind something.. filipinas wear their heart on their sleeves. You show her anything that sounds like your interested and your in a relationship after just one chat...your her boyfriend. If your not serious theres no reason to lead them on. You can find plenty girls willing to "party" without getting one the serious ones hopes up. Just like how we like to talk about the filipinas that play games and scam us for money... they been putting up with
games from us too, for many years. Guys claiming want marriage to get a roll in hay while on vacation; keeping girls inlove and holding on for years claiming are coming for them when guy knows its never going happen, list goes on... Your going to do what your whatever you want; but in my personal opinion whether you after a girlfriend of good fuck.. respect the girls. let them know what you want and move on to the next if they not down with it.
I know I got tendency to ramble... but hope someone out there found at least one useful item from the wall of text. If not... why in the hell did you read this far?
