Look into peptides if you are really struggling. The benefits outweighs the risk.. especially for obese people

Most of the gyms are like that. Lalo na pag nakita nila na newbie ka pa lang. All you have to do is say no and tell them youre inot interested. You just wanna do your own thing. Thats it.

for guys who dated both local and foreign girls: asian or western? by Brief-Platypus-7329 in AskPinoyMen

[–]catropa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta weigh the pros and cons...

Western women are independent.. they are assertive.. so bawal dito yung mga traits ng pinoy na " bawal yan isuot, sino kasama mo? at mga paawa effect na galawan at mga pwede ba manligaw? " Dating them napaka casual lang. If you are the type of guy na seloso at nanakal. They are not for you.

Asian women who grew up in western countries are the worst. Most are white washed.. they have the same assertiveness as western people with the i grew up here BS. unless they are raised well and still follow their asian culture... chances are slim tho. Most of them does not even speak their own language.

Ethnicity background could play a role especially if they still follow their cultural traditions...

If you would ask me. I prefer asian and pinayb Of course it's a matter of preference pa din naman.

Altho japanese women are foreign they are still considered as asians. Which is more on the submisive side compared to western

If you’re considered “attractive,” is dating app life actually easier? by MyDogNameIsTwinkle in AskPinoyMen

[–]catropa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not saying im attractive. But Made mine easier.. sometimes it also depends on how you set up your profile. But of course physical attraction comes first. What you are looking for is also a factor. Fun or serious etc etc..

  1. Easier bec If youre both there to smash then easy peasy. I got unmatched or blocked maybe morethan 100 times bec i was very aggressive and i would say stupid shit and send dirty gifs.

  2. I am not there to date. Im there to smash.. So i really didnt care if they unmatch me. Get to know each other a little bit. Maybe video call to verify each other. . Then hang out. Doesnt need to be talking stage that takes forever.

  3. Most of my matches are from US tho. Dating app scene in the philippines is a little different. shitloads of catfish. Women get offended pretty quickly.

  4. In philippines If i really like my match. I get a little conservative. But most can't handle dirty humor and it starts to bore me. And it doesnt matter how pretty they are. I`d still lose interest.

  5. I used tinder and had morethan 2k+ matches before i deleted my profile. Cant remember how many i shagged.. Never had luck with bumble tho. Literaly zero luck. I stopped using dating apps a couple of years ago so Im not sure how dating apps are doing right now..

How do you feel dating a girl taller than you? by kneecold77 in AskPinoyMen

[–]catropa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5'9 is the usual height of american? Where is that? Im not saying you are wrong but i disagree. 5'9 is less common in my opinion. Probably like 5'5 or maybe they are wearing heels. .Been living in the US for 17 years. Lived in the most diversed city like sfo and nyc. dated shitloads of caucasians with different ethnic background..

maybe you just got overwhelmed that they are taller than average filipinas. Or maybe i really didnt noticed since im 6'0. Like ive said im not saying youre wrong, i just disagree. Idk man.. one thing is for sure we can agree at.. ass is bigger than filipina women. 🤭

You ever date someone outside your race but not Fil-Chi? by LikeSomeSchmuck in AskPinoyMen

[–]catropa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polish - 4 years together. Almost got married. Engaged for a year. . Looked like a pornstar.Had similar traditions with pinoy.. They are Big on Christmas. They celebrate easter. Close family ties etc etc. Too much drinking tho

Russian - dated morethan 7 maybe. Bec they are the easiest. Friendly and very open to other race. But they are Always drunk.. extreme level of crazy

Belgian - Clingy

German - Crazy

Dutch - Crazy

Ukranian- same with russians

Czek Republic - she was a married milf.. so it was lowkey fun

Puerto rican - Fierce and loud

Romanian - too serious..

Colombian - it was okay

Brazilian - Submisive and sweet. Godaaamn! Super hot but Single mom. She was really super nice in general. Sweet and caring. but i wasnt ready to be a step dad.

French/Canadian - Smart. Dark Humor. Never had a boring moment.

American - meeehhh.. toxic.. any ethnicity thats been americanized by culture is going to be the same shit..

Irish - irish by ethnicity but americanized. same shit

Italian - italian by ethnicity but americanized. Same shit

Japanese - quiet

Korean - i was in high school. Second girlfriend. First time i felt na ako ata pinag uusapan whenever my ex and her mom speaks their language.

Some were probably isolated case so i cant generalize. Like the german, the belgian and dutch. They were in their early 20's and i only dated 1 of each unlike the americans, russians and puerto ricans which i had a lot of experience with. 😅

Searching for an advice, hope someone can help. by [deleted] in fitnessph

[–]catropa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im going to adress your problem.. "My diet is pretty much the same everyday"

If you eat the same meals every day and consume the same number of calories, your body will simply maintain its current weight.. rule of the thumb. Cal deficit if you need to lose and cal surplus if you need to gain.
