Having been to the Philippines can confirm. It’s crazy how many old white dudes just hang out in the sleaziest bars on the sketchiest streets

I have a colleague that has a wife from the Philippines. They live in Canada but are building a house there. He said I should come visit, and I replied something about how my wife would love a tropical vacation. He replied:

Bringing your wife on vacation to the Philippines is like bringing a lunchbag to a restaurant.

... ... ... cool.

Ya basically. I was with my partner and her family, some of which was from PI. Couple of her cousins who were teenagers at the time walked down the wrong street and got offered a "job" by one of the locals. Thankfully their uncle/dad was able to catch up to them and pull them out of the situation. We later saw call girls working that same street who looked even younger than the cousins

Same concept, but I prefer the saying "it's like bringing a sandwich to a buffet."

I prefer never saying that about a human being again!

Oh boy just wait until you hear some of the really bad things people say.

"oh yeah? you think degrading my wife is bad? just wait til you hear about torture"

surely this isn't the point you're trying to make

[-] nomous@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Correct, that's not the point.

To be fair that's pretty much what I do here in the US
