I included a couple of straight up big-eye contact lens photos for reference I am still not sure on my opinion of those but one thing thats freaky is to see big blue eyes and blonde hair on an asian girl.. I don’t think I like that :/

• Don’t show interest in girls you really like!

Why? Because if you really like them you should send a message. Usually the girls that are popular get HUNDREDS of interests.. they get washed away in a sea of interests and they will never see you. If they do see you, why should they send you a message? You didn’t even bother to write anything to them – and if they are pretty and a good catch online they will have many interesting messages to read so you should send something intelligent to them and don’t click interest!

• Upload a smiling natural photo

There is some evidence that a photo looking away from the camera gets more messages, but it is proven that a smiling photo does better than a non-smiling photo. If you don’t have a photo at all then this is the biggest mistake and don’t expect to get any reply at all!

• Copy pasta – its not delicious!

If you find someone you really like – don’t send them a copy paste message as in 2012 most people have learned to tell what a copy paste message feels like. The worst offenders are those who send a copy paste message and forget to take out the other persons name and replace it with the new one… oops!

Be sure to log out if your computer is shared or someone is likely to be snooping around! You think a girl going through your phone is bad but I cannot imagine how bad it would be for a girl to be going through your dating profile… Retina identification or thumb print is preferred although knowing the determination of some ladies maybe it is better we dont use our eyes or thumbs to log in to our computer :/

Maybe you guys will have better luck with her if you find her profile and send a message. Did you come across any mindblowing kathoeys recently? Share them with the rest of us!

Enjoy

Brief summary of the experience at Vertigo:

Moon bar at Vertigo in Sathorn, Bangkok

They were very warm and friendly, and the Thai lady friend I was with unfortunately lost some jewellery in the bathroom down the plughole. An engineer appeared very quickly and they disassembled all the pipes and got back her earring quickly and everyone was smiling the whole time. After that unusual beginning we were greeted warmly by the reception staff and given an opportunity to take some photos of the amazing view of Bangkok before being taken to our seats. The menu was quite varied and there were “cheap” options too for anyone scared by pricing. After the amazing food was finished a staff member offered to take our photo and it was printed out and given to us complimentary. Overall a very nice experience

Brief summary of Sirocco:

Upon the elevator opening three or four beautiful Thai girls greeted us and led us to the restaurant. Unfortunately they would not let me take my bag which had my tripod, when asked if I could take only my tripod they said no :/ so I proceeded with just my camera. Still, hoping to get some nice pictures we entered the big open area with an amazing view. I went to the edge but was told I was not allowed to take pictures of the view. I asked why and they said “celebrities often come here and don’t want their photos taken”.. I only wanted to take pictures of the view. They told me I could take some photos at the skybar. So I went to the very crowded skybar and fought for a place to take a picture. I also wondered why I was allowed to take photos in this area as it is much closer to the place where people eat and surely a better point to take photos of celebrities? Seems like a strange policy. It wasn’t as friendly an experience and so we decided not to eat there and find another place instead. We went down to the swimming pool there and had some food (lebanese) at Lebua’s restaurant on a lower level. It tasted great and the service was very friendly with a diverse menu from many kitchens.

My personal opinion, choose Vertigo It feels more exciting as most tables are close to the edge and it is a lot more narrow so you get a better feeling of being high up. Even though I think the state tower is slightly higher it is much bigger and it is possible to get a seat in the middle and not really get any view at all.

Personally I am not interested in western LB’s but Asian ladyboys seem much more feminine and desirable. I saw a post on a forum one day about a guy who was talking to an LB on a dating site for weeks first in messages and then on Skype before they realized that they were talking to someone who was 100% female.. upon finding this out they immediately ceased all communication and was super angry This saddens me as if the guy liked their personality, and liked their physical appearance (he had been talking to her for weeks) then whats the problem? Maybe some people are hiding in the closet a little too much.

In general LB’s have a bad name for being unreliable/dangerous but as long as precautions are taken just like you should with everyone you meet online then I think its ok Have a nice day kap!

I am not sure if this felines picture was taken entirely with its consent!

It is located in Rangsit which is on the edge of Bangkok. It is not too far but coming back at rush hour is usually a nightmare in the traffic.

At Dreamworld there is an indoor and outdoor rollercoaster, rapids, go karts, live action show, parks/greenery/lake, giants house, haunted house, and my favorite ride is the log flume

One thing to note is that you really shouldn’t take any Thai girl you met from the Internet to a big day out for your first date unless you are feeling lucky because if you don’t like each other in the first hour then the remaining hours of the day out could be quite painful or boring – make sure that there is some chemistry before planning such a big date to avoid disappointment on each end

Update: Don’t forget about snowtown! It is the only place in Thailand to show a Thai lady real snow. You can sledge and enjoy the wonders of fake plastic animals covered in refrigerator frost. It isn’t a holiday in Switzerland but its only a couple hundred baht and very accessible from Bangkok!

I always thought hotels in Manila were so expensive, and I Google’d to find out why and found this!

Trip advisor is an awesome website and I strongly recommend viewing your hotel before you book it there – in the case of this hotel it looked awful If you don’t mind expensive and want a guaranteed nice hotel then I have heard great things from friends about the Shangri-la in Makati.

If you are flying to the Philippines to meet a girl you could always take her somewhere nice outside of the city. You will have a local guide as a bonus and the prices aren’t so high (and you can get more for your money) outside of Manila too.

I hope this was semi-useful, although you seasoned travelers probably have your routine all planned already
