I was fortunate in being married to a really good Scottish lady for 24 years before being widowed in 1991 at the age of 47. In the intervening period, I'd dated literally scores of British women (no, honestly I'm not bragging!) and had never found anyone to quite match up to her standards ... until September 2007, when I started corresponding with a similarly bereaved Filipina from Mindanao. We've continued to communicate by email on a regular daily basis ever since and always find plenty to say to one another. Indeed, the "conversation" just seems to flow naturally on almost every topic imaginable.
In September of this year, I travelled out to the Phils to meet the lady, and it was as if I'd been lucky enough to have known her all my life! There was absolutely no strangeness between us whatsoever, and we spent the most wonderful three weeks together. In fact, I'm returning to Tagum in a few weeks' time, equipped with my CNI in order that we can, at least partially, fulfil our plans to marry and bring her back to the UK subject to her being granted a spousal visa. She is extremely well-educated, having taught for more than 22 years in a Government High School and, hopefully, she will be able to resume her teaching career across here.
So yes, based on MY own experience, there's most definitely a great deal of truth in what has been said in favour of Asian women - particularly Filipinas - because my lady has demonstrated her unquestionable loyalty and affection for me in many, many ways that British women (again, in my experience) seem incapable of showing.
