    I gave you positive rep Dave because your a cheeky &*)(%^$ But its true,at least we both know certain things are unwritten But your right,I am middle-aged,but I aint fat nor Bald,might be a git though



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    In someways, I'm interested to know myself, why I have gone down this route, flown halfway around the world several times, next time to get married....I'm only going to say I'm glad I have.

    Surely we all strive for something better, for something that suits who we are...Yes sure I've seen one or two ridiculous sites, when I've been in Pinas, but hey, that's life....we all make judgements, all got an opinion.

    I agree with many points raised in this thread, on all sides....we spotted a, for want of a better word, an "opportunity" (that sounds awful, I really don't mean that ) and ran with it.

    If the internet hadnt been invented, non of our lives would have crossed, I definately wouldn't be pursuing the love of my life, if it was just down to writing a few letters a month & waiting for the postman to arrive.

    I know I'm happy...so there you go.

    Marriage breake-ups a western thing Apo?You really think so?I wonder how many women on this site had pinoy partners previously Thats what I said originally,its not a Pinay thing,its not a puti thing,its a "Human" thing,we are all individuals,marrying a pinay or a brazilian or an eskimo wont guarantee you a faithfull wife,a good samba dancer nor fresh whale blubber for tea each night,stereotypes have a hint of truth,but we are still individuals

    Look at the english ladies stories on here also "My boyfriend has kids in the Philippines........." blanket statements arent rooted in fact,it would have been better to say its EASIER to get a divorce in western society,we dont have the expense they do in pinas,but its just as prevalent,seen it often enough,look on a pinay dating website,see how many women have kids from a previous partner,thousands of them Till death us do part isnt the mantra of every single pinay,doesnt happen that way,thats what I am saying about stereotypes Besides,many ladies in Pinas would leave their husband but because they dont have the support network we do,they dont have the social welfare system that would house feed and cloth their children like we do they are forced to stay with the guy and endure years of misery,abuse,and general unhappiness till death us do part,then and only then do they get their peace.

    I can see you don't like generalisations and, to a certain extent I can understand why you don't.
    However, I am sure you would understand the many Surveyors and Technicians that I used to work with who love Filipinas more than any other ladies from any other country.
    It is just a "given" to them, and now having married a Filipina too, I can now understand why they all told me they had never looked back.

    All my old mates married either pinays,indonesians or Thais,just because of the location we were based in,some have fallen by the wayside,some havent,some are married for life,some are not,happens all around the world and isnt specific to pinays,I truthfully know many,many who have seperated from their husbands,and know many more who would do so if their society wasnt so constricting and hypocritical in many ways,just being a realist.

    Yes, I can understand what you are saying, I have met some who divorced from their Asian wives also.
    However, I remember so many many more who told me they were so happy and I feel that now with my Filipina wife.
    This is my reality.

    Tawi2, I don't have the divorce rates at hand comparing Asia and the "West".
    I bet the "West" has a much bigger rate of divorce though

    I have already given you the reason why,most pinays dont have 200K pesos for an annulment,and lots of them suffer in silence They have no finance nor family support so cannot leave their husband but like I said,have a look on this site itself for ladies,and english women connected to pinoy guys,who were in previous marriages.
