Thanks, man. I am perfectly okay. My story happened a long time ago. A time when FRs are a treat and real GMs wrote them. Thanks, anyway. Tuloy ang ligaya.

Here’s an old personal tale that can be a warning: Just a few weeks after my top-thera GF and I broke up, I attended a by-invite only dinner conference in a fine dining restaurant in Makati. Since the conference was intimate, my male industry colleagues, the ones who I knew beforehand, were a little relaxed and the free flowing fine wine loosened the locks of the story vaults. The topic of massages, escorts (or PR), theras, and ES came up. As expected everyone inebriated had a story to tell. Imagine my shock when the name of my ex-gf came up. I knew that she was popular but I didn’t expect for her to be THAT popular. Worse, two of the gents knew her much deeper than the others and before we had a relationship. They knew her background, surname, address, and even her personal digits. It didn’t stop there. I heard details where they would eat dinner prior to the trysts, or the resorts they went, or even the bars they would frequent with other therapists. Of course, I pretended to have been amazed. I even took the offer of getting her number (confirmed). I was brokenhearted, of course! Not because of the information I got. It’s the details that contradicted the stuff she swore to be true about her (i.e. she said she didn’t do ATW. I was so naive). This was a girl I dreamt of building a new life together. But that wasn’t even the worst. Apparently, while we were together, she went hanging out with them (gents) and with fellow therapists a couple of times, with wild after parties in condo units. Anyway, again, and again. Fair warning. It’s the biggest delusion of all. And the hurt doesn’t stop at the point of break up. It goes further and beyond. Happy Hunting!

This thread is such an entertainment. Where can you find a place where you rationalize orgasm as an exercise of altruism? Or virtue signal after a paid s3xua1 activity? Or mask egoism as social responsibility? The reason why their profession is considered the oldest: It fills the void brought about by illusion (or delusion) that starts from the head above and ends at the tip of the head below. Just keep on hunting. If you’re serious, marry her. Otherwise, bawasan ang katol.

Ayos sa exit strategy. Leaving the country for good.

Hahahahha…i wish kapatid. Thats the thing about this digital underworld. I’ve been on and off this alternative universe for more than two decades already. Three decades if we count the MiRC years. One of the key lessons that turned into unwritten rules, aside from not falling in love, is to avoid eyeballs. Some of those who didn’t follow this rule are now captured in almost eternal posterity. If you are in the mood to dig, you can still find the faces of the original GMs and the original therapists. They are identified with their names even. Yes, some of them are semi-public or even public personalities now. Happy Hunting!

Haha..oh yeah. And that’s not the whole story. It gets worse. Mahirap na lang i-kwento lahat sa sobrang dami. But its all hindsight now. Bulag ka sa pag-ibig eh. Sincerely, you both want it to work. Eto yung mga gusto mong ihinga sa inuman pero hindi nga kasi normal, hindi mo rin pwede i-kwento sa tropa mo. Lol Halimbawa ng detalye: Kasi nga alam mo NTP kaya simula pa lang alam mo na pinapasok mo diba? Tebats lang sa guest. Sige ayos lang, tuloy lang at may balak ka naman ialis siya sa industriya kasi nga mahal mo eh. Kaya mong lunukin panandalian. Yun pala, may nilulunok din siya. Hahaha 😝 Nung bago pa lang kami, tuloy pa rin pala ang paglunok niya ng punla ng kanyang mga regular! (Think: Nakipaglaplapan ako sa kanya pagkatapos ng shift niya! I know…ewwww). Hindi mo naman masisi, pera yun eh. Besides, as I mentioned in my post to this, they do have a switch embedded in their brains that when flipped, they become who they are when you found them. She wanted to keep her regulars happy too (best in customer engagement and retention award?). Oo nga naman. “ Lalaki ka lang. Hindi ikaw ang una. Love kita, pero malamang hindi ikaw ang huli.” Kaya iwas ng kaunti. Except for Pretty Woman, there’s not a lot of love stories involving these characters, GM and thera, that do end up as happy stories in pop culture. There’s a reason to that. Your love story (fine. Lets call it that) is that space when your world and hers overlap. But its a small space compared to your respective individual worlds. Dont get me wrong. Its been years but I still think fondly of her. Lampas dekada na pero may kurot pa rin ng kaunti. Daig pa perslab kasi nga naman, matindi yung kondisyon ng pagmamahalan niyo. Yun lang pag naalala mo yung mga detalye, natatawa ka na lang sa kabaliwan mo. Kaya nga fair warning sa mga kapatid na parokyano. Iwas iwas. Oh speaking of Pretty Woman, the original screenplay was supposed to end tragically. It wasn’t a fairy tale. Happy Hunting!

Hahahha…matagal na ito bro. Too late. The NTP still exists but she left some years back. Nakahanap ng puti na ex-US Navy pero may bumulong sakin na hindi rin raw totoo rin yun. May matandang GM na nagbigay ng pangkabuhayan showcase kaya tumigil daw. Hindi ko na tinangkang i-verify. Puno’t dulo, magulo buhay nila. Kung magulo din buhay mo, pag pumatol ka, hindi siya doble kung di exponential. Kung galing ka sa “normal” na buhay o mainstream set of values and norms, magugulat ka kung gaano kaiba yung kanila. Don’t get me wrong we’re all fundamentally the same as we are all humans. Pero dun natatapos yun. Halimbawa na lang: ang normal na tao, hindi napaghiniwalay ang value system kahit hindi ka perpketo. Meaning, kahit wala ka sa katinuan, nasa isang value set ka lang. Normal ka eh. Sila hindi. Kaya nilang magkaroon ng split personality na parang switch lang. Yung split na yun may kanya kanyan set of values yun. To simplify: normal na GF mo siya kung kayo ang magkasama o magkausap. Matimtiman. Romantic. Normal. Pero once na nasa mundo na sila ng trabaho nila, nagbabago na sila ng anyo. Syota na sila ng bayan. At tandaan mo, mas nauna sila sa trabaho nila kesa sayo. Mas malapit sa katotohanang value set nila kung ano sila sa work. Nobody lasts long in their work in this industry by accident. It formed them on who or what they are. Kaya yung nakikita ng mga romantiko nating kasama dito na naiinlove, produkto yun ng pagiging bihasa nila sa pagiging syota ng bayan. Hindi kayo pareho. Superficial lang yun. Kasama pang FAMAS na acting. Remember: Its a scientific fact that couples are couples because they have at least 85% of their interests are the shared or the same. Pero dito, magkaiba kayo ng mundo. So what you see as compatibility is an illusion brought about by professional work. Alam mo ba alternative word nila sa client or guest? Gawa (Work). Kaya, iwas iwas na lang. Live the temporary minutes as your grand illusion. But remember: its still is an illusion. Its mind-boggling $3X, I know. But keep it that way. Happy Hunting!

Hahahaha Sums up my personal experience. Worse, I found out that every time we argued, she lets herself get f(){€3d by her regulars. As in around the world. NTP eto ah (No truth in advertising ) Even worse. Nung tuluyang kaming naghiwalay, nag out of town kagad siya kasama ang isang regular niya. Daig pa palit kotse. Para lang nagpalit ng panty. Never again. Kaya fair warning. Tao lang kaya marupok. Pero matanggap mo kay kung anong parte siya marupok? Happy Hunting!

Repost ko lang. Reminder. Yup. As far as my own personal experience (yes na fall ako one time. Ang tanga ko eh), walang therapist ang nagsasabi ng totooo. Kasama sa mojo nila yun gumawa ng kwento ng buhay nila o anuman ang gusto nila sa buhay na naka tuon kung paano ma enganyo ang guest. In fairness, meron din konting sincerity minsan kasi may emotional needs din sila. PERO alam nila na walang bukas ang mga relasyon nila kasi nga alam nila ang implikasyon ng trabaho nila. Kaya kukunin nila kung ano makukuha nila tapos move on. Hindi nila ibubulgar ang totoo nila istorya kasi mismo sila tinatago nila kung ano sila sa sarili nilang kamag-anak or malalapit na tao sa buhay. Kung may layer ang secrecy, ang estima ko ay 3 layers siya. In short, ang tanga tanga mo kung maniwala ka (pati na ako na napaniwala minsan). Ano mga bagay na nakatago? 1. NMILF. Walang aaminin masyado, lalot sa simula na MILF sila. Kasi nga naman, baba yung customer na papatol. Usually may mga anak sila sa pagkadalaga. Minsan teenager pa lang. 2. Nakatira. Pag nasa Makati ang spa, ang tirahan ay Rizal. Hindi totoo yun. Usually same city or the next city. Ayaw talaga nila lumayo kasi nga luge sa pamasahe. Kahit stay-in, they want to be near pa rin. Unless out from the province talaga. 3. “Buti na lang nakakaintindi ka”. This is a hypocritical but deliberate comment from them. Tandaan mo, yung emotional investment ang target nila sayo dahil may pakinabang ka kahit nagbibigay ka lang ng 500 pesos na extra o ibinili mo siya ng cellphone o buong kabuhayan showcase. Ang masaya diyan para sa kanila, hindi lang ikaw nagbibigay marami yan. Tiba tiba sila kung ganun sila kagaling sa emotional investment. Alam nila yun. Alam na alam nila. 4. “Wala akong asawa o hiwalay ako”. Eto isa sa mga pinakamalaking kasinungalingan. 99% meron silang asawa or partner, either married or live-in. Yung iba jowa na same sex. May alam ako jowa niya masahista naman ng mga bading. Remember may emotional needs din sila. Meron din silang need na steady. PERO hypergamist sila lahat. Gusto nilang may partner na mapera o mas mataas kesa sa sarili nilang asawa, live-in o jowa. At alam nila na that they can have the benefit of both worlds. Dahil nga sa nature ng trabaho nila, pwede silang short-term and temporary hypergamist without the consequences required of a permanent relationship. Tandaan mo, kung career oriented sila, hindi sila therapist. Sometime in their youth nabuntis sila, at gawa nun, malamang nag asawa rin sila. Or may ka-live in. 5. “Nagiipon lang ako”. 8 out 10. Hindi totoo. Dahil nga wala sila masyadong skills sa labas ng kanilang trabaho, babalik at babalik sila o kaya mag side job, or wala talagang balak umalis. Malaki nga naman kita. Kung maganda ka, kahit NTP, makakakuha ka ng at least 10k a day. Daig mo manager ng bangko. 6. “Napamahal na ako sayo”. Wag kang tanga. See 1-5. Nuff said.

Tama. Imagine mo na lang lahat ng kalapastanganan ang ginawa sa GF o Asawa mo, kayanin mo kaya? Pwede mong sabihin na temporary lang habang gumagawa ng paraan. Pero, sa tingin mo ba matitigil yun? Tandaan mo, pag nagmamahal daw si Thera, hindi raw siya hihingi ng pera. Eh san niya kukunin yung sweldo niya? Sa dami na nag ooffer ng pera para gawin ang gusto nila, tingin niyo ba itigil nya talaga at may limistasyon? Kaya nga nagka konsepto ng YMMV eh. Sa dulo, pera pera pa rin. Maiintindihan mo kung barya lang ang kapalit. Pero ang offer ng GM ay mula sa 3k hanggang 20k ang pinaguusapan, hindi bibigay? Tandaan natin, 99% sa kanila, may sinusuportahang mga (take note plural) anak, kapatid o, to a lesser extent, magulang. Money really talks. Many years ago, yung sa aking katangahan, naitanong ko sa GF na thera kung may mag offer ba sa kanya ng 40k, bibigay mo? You know what she said when obviously her shield was down? “Ano ba ako?”. Boom! Nahimasmasan ako sa punto na yun. So, by all means, fall in love and call yourself the hopeless romantic and/or the forever lothario. But note the realities. For every corner you turn with your strolls with her, there’s a GM that says “Good job dude! Hope you get what I got a couple of times until I moved on. Its yummy. ” Happy Hunting!

Yan ang golden ticket. Maraming gumagawa niyan. Ang target ay retirado o pa retire na puti. May kakilala nga ako na pinilit gawin puti yung anak kahit obvious na salisihan si mokong. Napaamin lang nung lumabas na yung bata. Yung sinasabing nag re-recruit ng therapists papunta europe (kalimitan sa may eastern block), ganun ang nangyari sa kanya. Nakapag asawa ng taga Czech Republic. Siya ngayon nag bitbit ng mga pwede umalis. Kung hindi matalas intel niyo, ang clue ay yung source ng therapists ay galing sa dalawang sikat na NTP spa kuno sa makati. Kung pamilyar ka sa Europa, alam mong notorious ang eastern europe pag dating sa human trafficking. (Kaya nga ginawang plot ito ng pelikulang Taken). Good luck sa kanila. Pero Sanay na naman sila. Kalyado na ang kamay at anu-ano pa.

Nag backread ako ng dalawang pages, at walang sumisi sa thera. In fact, its the other way around. Puro warning sa GM ang sinasabi ng post. If people want to continue what they’re doing, which is the falling in love with a therapist (that’s the topic), in spite of the caveats, by all means, go for it. Kamusta na pala diskarte (your favorite word) mo kay @Venice29? Maraming nagaantay ng FR. 😁

Career. You can buy love or what’s like it. Kung hindi, eh di sana hindi dumami ang therapist na “nagpapahiram” ng pag-ibig.

Yup. As far as my own personal experience (yes na fall ako one time. Ang tanga ko eh), walang therapist ang nagsasabi ng totooo. Kasama sa mojo nila yun gumawa ng kwento ng buhay nila o anuman ang gusto nila sa buhay na naka tuon kung paano ma enganyo ang guest.

It’s fairly common in this (under)world. The whole setting is ripe for messianic complexes. Cant blame them though. When you have resources to spare, and you give it to someone who doesn’t have it, you end up overvaluing the spare resources you imparted. That’s okay. May nakinabang. But stop short of calling it noble as the spare you gave had the recipients dignity in return. May hiningi ka pa rin na kapalit. Katawan niya. @lankCoincidentally, your example of Haiti brings forth the issues of the consequences, the bad ones in particular, of messianic complexes. The aiding of Haiti was plagued by a big scandal that the perpetrators didnt find anything wrong and even called it normal: They were giving preferential aid to demographics who were taken advantage as s*x providers. Mismong chief nakinabang. When asked why, he said he didn’t see it as unethical as they were giving it to him for free. In short, it was cultural. Messianic complexes. They don’t result to charity. Its not a visa towards heaven. Happy hunting.
