Does anyone believe the midget PAG/Italianman/Shawn Blake was a male model or any of his other lies?

[Shemp]

He's not stupid, but he has delusions of grandeur and lies a lot, so it's impossible to know the truth about him. Given his weirdness and the fact that he really does go abroad (I actually saw him in person once here in Kyiv, Ukraine), he definitely belongs on HA, though at the same time he definitely deserves banning for his disruptive behavior, especially those sock puppet accounts. It's possible he gets pretty women for free. Lots of strange young men got girlfriends when I was growing up. It's possible he was a model, chosen not for conventional beauty but rather because they needed a shortish black guy and there he was. It's conceivable that CultureWhiz is more successful that it appears. These internet businesses can be surprising. Who knows?

In summary, a true International Man of Mystery. Since you don't have that option, I'm not voting.

Black midgets always get Ukrainian tall beauties for free!

Could it be that PAG has a very masculine vibe and phermones? Or that he's funny in person like Danny Devito? Or that he has charisma? Or that he has a douschbag vibe that women like?

Btw, if they stuck him in the shot as a model, he would be a background extra. Not a true model. Even I can get extra work and I have, in corporate videos, commercials and TV shows. They stick me in the background to make the scene look multicultural and pay me minimum wage for it. But they never give me a speaking role. Not a lot of Asians pursue acting in America so they don't have a lot to choose from, so when I show up or reply to a casting call, they like putting me as a background to make the scene look more ethnically diverse.

[Winston]

Marcos, that's funny. Why don't you ask your wife to look at PAG's photos so you can get a female perspective? Sometimes a female perspective is useful in these matters, since we are not females and can only speculate as to what females see in men like PAG?

[Tsar]

Yeah, he was probably a background model somewhere. Or maybe he was a hand model for a McDonalds burger because they needed his tiny feminine dwarf hands to make their food look larger and more appealing in comparison? Doubt any 'modeling' shot would include his head, it's not the type of head you want to see walking towards you in a dark alley, let alone a poster meant to sell... anything, really.

LoL

[MrMan]

I keep reading references to the man but do not remember any of his posts.

But if he is short, that doesn't mean he couldn't be a male model. Actors can be short. Dustin Hoffman is about 5'6". Tom Cruise is 5'7". They can just stand on a crate if they have to.

There was a girl in my high school the other kids said had done modeling. She was fat, had short hair, an unattractive face, and had goth clothes and make-up. I remember passing by her between the tables in the lunch room. One could see her back fat protruding out past her bra straps. They need models that have all different kinds of looks.

[publicduende]

I can't believe PAG is still around after all these years, trolling like there's no tomorrow.

I know (as @hypermak told me on chat) that he, once again, used that one photo of me and my wife to mock him. I personally don't give a dead rat's a$$ about his low-life attempts at slandering. I don't hate him, but I don't pity him, either.

He has about the same chances of being a male model, as he has to be a successful entrepreneur or polymath. Zero point zero. The way I see it - and I don't think he has changed at all - he is a delusional man with nothing to show for, who resorts to trolling on fringe forum like this to groom his ego a little bit. I met a fair share of these kinds of people in my life and this is, literally, the only way the can stay alive: they make up a narrative about who they are or what they do and they absolutely must find someone who believes that narrative, lest their psychological house of cards comes down crashing and they lose their minds for good.

Gentlemen, the only way to make him go away (until the next time he's back) is not to feed his trolling ways. Even telling him, to his face, that he is a pathetic phoney is only likely to trigger more rage, hence more trolling.

[publicduende]

It's funny when he thought sharing your picture would somehow 'shame' you; it only shows you being a man of a certain age with a beautiful wife who is honestly far cuter than anything I've ever seen Shawn Blake with, and who likes you for who you are, and not for the contents of your wallet. Something Shawn Blake never say. Ever.

Thanks @MarcosZeitola, I am flattered Age and the Covid lockdown has taken a little toll on both of us but, as a couple, we are going stronger than ever! C is definitely with me for me - with all my issues and defects. For the past 3 years she has had her own junior Economist career at an international bank, making more than the average Filipino executive, so she certainly doesn't need to be with me for financial support.

I have never claimed to be good looking, or a strong masculine kind of guy, a successful this or that. I had my fun with the ladies because, as you know, a white man dating in the Philippines is like shooting fish in a barrel. And obviously a little empathy, kindness and Italian savoir-faire goes a long way! Then I looked for my LTR kind of girl and, thanks Heaven, I found one. You can claim the same kind of success, and that makes us lucky men, I know!

PAG is a sad, sad little man. But I do love his tough guy persona being 'busted'. He claims to be tall, macho, strong, dangerous, a powerful executive, a seducer of women... but he's a tiny little pudgy loser lol.

Indifference is the best antidote against these keyboard warriors who fall miserably short (in all senses ) the moment they decide to cross the bridge and publish a few of their real photos.

[Tsar]

Mrs. Zeitola far out-earns me, too, having become a rather successful day trader during the pandemic and having mad some solid cash in crypto. I cannot complain and life has been good to me, and I am shocked at how... little I actually had to do myself.

What are the best cryptocurrency exchanges for daytrading crypto?

[publicduende]

Age and lockdown took a toll on you both, really now? I was under the impression C was still only in her early twenties, so I assume she still looks fine. As for you, you at least appear to still have a full head of hair, which is more than 90% of expats your age can say. It's nice to hear your better half has been so successful in her own right, it truly does sound like a great partnership. Mrs. Zeitola far out-earns me, too, having become a rather successful day trader during the pandemic and having mad some solid cash in crypto.

LOL, what I mean is, if I can be more explicit, that both C and I have put on some weight. This condo here in Davao has a gym, not big but sufficient to do some cardio and weight, so we resumed exercising about a month ago. Might take a little while to see the results

I kind of envy those foreigners who come here to basically retire: they live on whatever passive income they have, and/or their pensions, and they live a frugal yet easy and carefree lifestyle with their Pinay girlfriends/wives. The idea of doing just the same grazed me more than once. In the end, common sense told me that I am still a bit too young and my software skills are still well on demand to just give up and start raising pigs in the province. My idea is to try and save a bit more to be able to build our "dream home" somewhere near Manila, or even near Cebu or Davao, so we have the perks or more space without having to live too far from civilization (offices, malls, nightlife, etc.).

Or we might well return to Europe...but over there the cost of living is a lot higher and the home-building a little bit harder, if anything because of the strict urban planning regulations. C is skeptical, she still believes old Europe is far better..it might take a trip or two to get convinced that, all things considered, the lifestyle we are having over here is not too bad!

Congratulations about Mrs Zeitola the crypto trader! I sure you used the term "out-earn" with some irony as, in a partnership, it's all about pooling cash together. Crypto has been giving a few people some great returns, some others a lot of headaches. I have traditionally been risk-averse and only invested a couple of thousands dollars in crypto. I made some profits, but nothing stellar. The ultimate irony is that my current job is for an Ethereum blockchain startup that is involved in the latest trading trend, liquidity mining. I might get to learn the ropes and perhaps placea few trades myself...spare cash permitting

Good luck to the both of you! Going strong!

It probably is, PD, it probably is. But what I particularly like about PAG is the fact that he's actually been claiming to be strong, tall, a male model... but he has this habit of 'leaking' pics of himself with the whores he buys. Last year he leaked one photo of himself with a lady who he said was six foot tall, as you can see in my opening post on this thread. Good ol' PAG only came up to her shoulders with his head... making him about, 5'2" or 5'3" at best. I run into Filipino dudes taller than this supposedly big and tough American fellow every day and I bet most are tougher, too.

Yeah, I saw that pic. I found it more pathetic than funny. It's all part of his delusions, I guess...

@publicduende

But how do you explain all the photos of PAG and girls?

Are there any photos of you and your girl still left on the forum? If so send me the links and I'll remove them.

Yes publicduende is better looking than most expats. He has a goatee and looks youthful too. Like an italian artist. Some ladies dig that. Both publicduende and marcoszeitola are probably better looking than PAG from what I've seen.

Could PAG have charisma or magnetism? How does he get ladies? Are some of his pics photoshopped? I seen some where the lady next to him behaves as though shes alone and taking a selfie. Strange pose. Makes you wonder.

LOL there isn't much to explain. I remember some old photos of PAG flaunting a fan of dollars, or even a gun (?!) with the usual cheap hostel room backdrop. Now @MarcosZeitola has published this photos of him standing next to this very tall fair-skinned girl, probably a Ukranian prostitute. From her body language one can tell how pleased she was to have PAG holding her from behind.

I don't know which posts had that one photo (which was once my Facebook profile photo, so perhaps the only one PAG had access to, without being my friend). Honestly I don't care if it's still there, or not. Please don't bother doing the digging...it's wasted time on your end as I really don't care.

[yick]

I can understand his behaviours on here if he is living in Ukraine - outside of the whoring part of it, he must be getting disrespected on a constant basis without being able to do much about it. This is probably one of the few places where he can let off some steam.

I am sure he makes some money online where he can bag whores on a regular basis but I doubt he has anything long term planned, his frustrations come out in his trolling, that's for sure.

[Winston]

Aren't you guy worried that you might hurt PAG's feelings? I mean, he is human and must have feelings too right? Or is he too badass to have feelings? lol. I mean, imagine if you were him and you saw all these comments above, wouldn't you feel hurt? Aren't you guys empathetic? Don't you guys have empathy for others? Not trying to sound like a woman, but you guys know the golden rule "Do unto others as you would have done unto you."

Btw does PAG get women in the US too? Or only abroad? If he can get women in the US then why does he go abroad? To expand his mind and experience new cultures? lol. If he can get women in the US then how does he, since US women don't need his money?
