Minimal rock star effect in Bandung. Source: I live there. Surabaya or Semarang are better for that.

Rutting Elephant, why do you think there is not much rock star effect in Bandung? Is there a lot of foreigners there already?

I am also interested in second tier Indonesian cities. In Jakarta, I got much more eye contact than usual in shopping malls, etc, but definitely didn't feel like a rock star just because I'm white. The best way to gauge interest before you land is to use dating sites. I've never been to the Philippines, but the girls from there are the most active. Even if I choose BKK or JKT as my location in the profile, I get more messages from Philippina girls than from girls who live in those cities.

I have to update my question to know second tier cities in Indonesia and Philippines to have rock star effect. One of my expert friend strongly recommended all cities in mindanao island but safety and food is big concern for long time stay.

Interesting. Are you putting on a serious face all day or what?
When I went to Jakarta this year, I felt like I was exotic even there. I had teenage girls waving at me and giggling when I went to one of the shopping malls. I got eye fucked pretty much everywhere I went. If you want to see some "meh attitude" towards foreigners you should try Tokyo.
PM me for accommodation options in Bangkok.

I definitely got attention from girls on the street in Bandung. Foreigners are rare there, I would say too rare, so that girls have never even considered the possibility of dating one, so most are very shy. But the malls are a good place for day game.

Did you try online game in Manila? You probably would have gotten laid there if you did. You can meet someone online, arrange a date the same day, and if it goes well then fuck them.
I would go online and check out flipino cupid and indonesia cupid. If one of them has a lot more girls who have been active inthe last 24 hours thats a good sign.
I am guessing that if you put in the work you could probably make either city work. Heres something to consider- apart from girls- which city would you rather visit? If you're an a city that you would enjoy visiting no matter what, you are likely to be in a better mood, and that better mood will translate into you doing better with women.

The cupid sites are all free to browse if you are looking to get a feel for thr country. For about $20 you can message them for a month.
