Just wondering how you react or deal with the numerous negative comments and incorrect stereotypes about The Philippines and Filipina's from people who have never been there and probably never met a Filipino/a in their life?
Me, I don't really care what people say or think about me, whatever they think is their opinion and they won't change it to suit me, so I let them get on with it.
However, I feel that I have to come to the defense of my Filipina g/f and The Philippines.
Whenever I mention I have a Filipina g/f or that I am going to The Philippines, the usual comments I get range from tongue in cheek jokes to those who want to be helpful/interfere and warn me of the dangers, to the ones i hear 3rd hand.
Typical comments are:
She's only after a passport and your money.
Be careful, I had a 'friend' who got scammed by a Filipina...etc
Check she isn't really a post operative tranny
Aren't they all prostitutes
I bet she already has a husband who keeps out the way when you are in town
Make sure you don't catch anything when you go there
I bet its full of old white pervs and paedo's
etc, etc... you all know the score by now
Anyway, my beautiful Filipina makes me far happier and looks after me far better than my ex-wife ever could, and she's kinder to my wallet (just).
