Batam

Thanks Black Page.

I meant Poshy hotel (luxury). My mind just tripped.

Cheers mate.

To Amikij.

If you want high end resort and golfing Nongsa and Turi beach on the east side of the island mostly for family, if you want mongering go to Nagayo hill area where the pussy are at so pick your poison newbie and do more research.

I like Formosa, but no way it could be defined poshy LOL.

[Amiki]

I am not sure what is a pussy / possy hotel for you, but it must be Formosa: 4 floors (warning: ground floor is "1" here), King massage and Alishan KTV at 4th floor.

Now a question for you: instead of asking here, why not to check the web site? They post lot of photos of rooms and the building. If you have been there, memory will flash back.

Thanks Black Page.

Hi there,

First of all thanks to you all for the info so far. I am planning to go back to Batam shortly after being there 6 years ago.
Please I need your help:
I remember a possy hotel in the center which last floor there was a massage center and a lounge and discobar with ladies to pick up.
It looks like "Harmony Hotel" but not sure. Posible Formosa Hotel but I remember it with more floors. Any help will do especially not to book wrongly.
Many thanks in advance.

What if you are still pretty good looking for middle age?

Chances of short relations when on holiday?

Even if you are ugly, there are still chances of short relations. But don't expect every head to turn and check you out as you walk through the mall.

I get laid every bit now as I did when I was young and good looking. But I have to pay a lot more often now.

An alpha male is an alpha male at any age. If you're a shlub, you'll be as attractive to Indonesian women as you are to women in your own country. But at least it won't cost you as much to get laid!

Haha. I have noticed the same thing in Jakarta. When I first came to town, the girls threw themselves at me wherever I went. When I walked through the mall, every girl's head would turn. Now, that does not happen. Sucks getting old, doesn't it?

I don't think Bules are not a dream thing anymore, I think it's just we are getting older and have lost our luster. There is a 28 year old Bule working in our office. When I walk the mall with him, every girl's head turns like they did for me years ago.

Damn it I missed 30 years of this just like Thailand.

2) The white man (bule) is not considered a dream thing anymore. 5-10 years ago, if I just walked along streets a bit out of the center of the center, I was getting lots of smiles from ladies and attempts to get a new friend. When I went to a disco bar like NoName, virtually no girl, regardless her beauty or the fact she was accompanied or not, was out of my reach. Now, it's not like that anymore. People is used to see more bule around, and more ladies have a passport and then can go to Singapore to spend their money. It's still dream land for me, but things have become considerably more difficult.

Wonder how do they book in advance. Regulars I guess.

More than regulars. They know that girl and like her a lot. It's like having a girlfriend, who incidentally works as escort and entertains a different customer 3-4 days each week.
Not all girls are the same, and each girl does not provide the same experience to any customer. If you go booking, visit a few places, and choose the girl which you really like above all others, and who smiles at you and looks very happy to come with you. Nothing worse than having a dead fish in bed for 10 hours. You don't have fun, and your room is occupied.

I have RTTF'ed and thanks to BP for all his insights. He rules the forum. A lot of them are old and few pages down, you probably are looking at old.

I do not understand this. What pages are down??
And what is the meaning of "you probably are looking at old"? I like young cuties indeed, but I am open to a wide age range LOL

Given that we just have a weekend can't really think of a place near to Singapore. Don't want BTM to be a disappointment first time given that we don't have enough time to hunt and another trip is impossible. Hence wanted to check with seniors if they can help with some contacts so that we just get into the action. Will look for in Singapore forum too.

I must say that, even if many of those reports are dated back in time, things did not change much. Things to do and opportunities are still the same. If you read my reports (also several reports by others are instructive) you will learn what are the opportunities, but certainly those reports are not a tutorial to teach "how to".

What changed in the last 5-10 years is the following:

1) Prices went up a lot.

2) The white man (bule) is not considered a dream thing anymore. 5-10 years ago, if I just walked along streets a bit out of the center of the center, I was getting lots of smiles from ladies and attempts to get a new friend. When I went to a disco bar like NoName, virtually no girl, regardless her beauty or the fact she was accompanied or not, was out of my reach. Now, it's not like that anymore. People is used to see more bule around, and more ladies have a passport and then can go to Singapore to spend their money. It's still dream land for me, but things have become considerably more difficult.

My advice: stay 3 days and keep your expectations low. You will have time to have some good and bad luck, some disappointments and some events to remember. If you go one day, it's like betting all money on the red at a roulette. You can either double your money, or lose it.

Take my reports not as "what you will get" or "what you will do", but as "what it is possible" (probability of success depends on luck and personal ability).

In Batam, you can a) hunt or b) shop girls. If you are a hunter, the pubs will be your place. You might meet a regular lady who likes you, and you will have a fantastic time (leave her a "tip" anyway); or a FL who for a reasonable money will make you much happier than FLs in Singapore (half money for double fun) (please do NOT overpay). If you are a shopper, your place are massage joints where you book a girl till next morning. I don't do that, or not anymore, because I get bored by having this girl in my room from afternoon till next morning.

Do not forget: very few people speaks English. You should speak some Bahasa Indonesia to reach the best opportunities, especially with girls.

Last advice: do not think you can get 100% with one day of experience on place. I took years to understand how it works, what to do, where to go, what to hope, and even to learn to not be disappointed the few nights I go sleeping alone (yes, it still happens to me, but few times).

Sure your Singaporoid colleagues can fill you in: they scurry over on the ferry Friday afternoon after work direct from the office. True playas that they are, no nightclub uncertainties for them; these guys call ahead and 'book' a girl in advance.

Unfortunately both of us are not played. So can't think of hunting and wining. Wonder how do they book in advance. Regulars I guess.

Read here (the RTFF thing, you know), then feel free to ask specific questions. It's all written here already (with the exception that NoName seems to be not the good place as just until one year ago). Check also the RoD for Batam.
Warning: BTM is not easy. The first time you might be easily disappointed.

Hi,

We are US colleagues in Singapore for a week and would like to explore Batam for the weekend. Planning for MPs during the day and any nightclubs for pickups. Appreciate if someone can guide us on the places and average prices.ds.

Sadly, as don't think I will be spending a full night there, I would probably have to give all those bars and discos a miss, and stick with the MPs (which you point out are safer options for newbies).

If you come during Ramadan, all MPs will be closed day time, in some cases accessble from the back door, which is not always evident.

You can still have your girl, but it will be more difficult: less choice, have to ask people where is the back door (anyone smoking in front of the main door), worst of all find a reliable taxi driver, avoid to overpay him, have him to guide you around.

Being you a first timer, I suggest to postpone.
