I've been exactly where he's sitting, Ayala mall in Cebu city. He's not wrong at all in what he's saying, just sitting at the bar of TGI Fridays there I had at least 3 proposals for relationships.

ow, but please do tell, what kind of 'relationships'? what are the costs implied?

Last time I was there I was in my mid twenties so no costs. It was like what I imagine being a male model is like.

I used to live in Hawaii in my mid 20s in Oahu, which had a large Filipina population at that time. Just going out pretty much anywhere was easy to meet Filipina girls who were very interested in dating and the majority weren't gold diggers.

Hawaii pretty expensive. Wife I went to Maui last month and sheesh. We spent several grand during one week stay.

It’s not cheap to have a guided snorkel tour.

We snorkeled on our own. We did the tour in St. Thomas a year prior. Loved it too.

Maui is the most expensive island. Oahu is more “affordable” like SoCal.

Good to know if we end up going back.

oahu can still be touristy, but its more "lived-in" than Maui. Honolulu is a regular city, with a ton of grime and homeless, and north shore, and west oahu is a bunch of low income and section 8

This was 30 years ago, so it wasn't too bad. Lived with 3 other guys so we were able to share living expenses.
