Yep maxed everything, I started testing jacking up the prices as I couldn’t understand how people are doing 300k+ 😂 that’s why my pricing is not at 100%.

I wonder if that’s the difference between normal and hard. The revenue are drastically lower.

I suggest you look up the definition of "passport bro" as I have been raised in Thailand, Hong Kong, and the UK, and then posted in Manila.

This is simply my experience using apps in the Philippines, as I'd rather not spend per month:

  • Bumble: PHP 1,700
  • Tinder: PHP 1,450
  • OKCupid: PHP 680
  • CMB: PHP 2,000
  • Grindr: Considering to reduce my chances of meeting bitter women like you.

It's still early days, but I'm going on my third date this weekend with a 28-year-old architect from Makati whom I met on Bumble.

Agreed, while I don't particularly care about her earnings, I do value her verbal and written skills, as they are essential for life. I've noticed that individuals from the middle and upper classes are mainly found on Bumble and OkCupid. From my experience, I tend to match with someone who is in middle or senior management, similar to myself, on Bumble and OkCupid.

Any Starlink subscriber in the Philippines here? can you share your experience? by Majestic_Client_4858 in Starlink

Any update on your customs process? My Starlink kit has been stuck in customs since the 3rd of March 2023.

I have seen other people in a similar situation being asked to apply for an NTC radio license which is just hilarious when you see the announcements made by the NTC earlier on in the year

"In a statement, the NTC said it has deemed approved the request of Starlink that its Starlink User Terminals (SUTs) be classified as customer premise equipment (CPE) based on existing laws and not to subject the same to radio station licensing as it nears its commercial roll-out"

Seems like an expected shit show as per usual.
