You seem really hung up about money, everything seems to be about keeping your money. Chill out go and spend some of it you might enjoy it.
You seem to have had a bad experience and then attempt to assume every relationship with a woman goes in the same direction as yours. You can't take it with you so you may aswell enjoy it while your here.
Sure if I go to the Philippines I don't mind treating my wifes family because I have more than them but they don't ask me and besides the love and hospitality they shower me with when I'm there is priceless.

My money is hard earned and i am not about to throw it at a family in some far off province
My house is nearly paid for and that is not on offer for some sweetheart who might come here and get the magic stamp and then demand half of everything after a couple of years with some good advice from her new pinoy friends she meets in the uk

its not just one bad experience actually its many that i have seen and know about
of course you enjoy the hospitality given to you in the philippines but everything comes at a price
A cynic would say that the only reason you are given such a warm reception there is because they know that sooner or later you are going to start parting with some money and thats what makes them happy

I must say that i find it all a bit strange that some of you guys on here seem to have met the only woman out there who never asks anyone for any money

[London_Manila]

I've been married 10yrs and its me who spends the misses money

You are one of the few then if that statement is really true

[lastlid]

.......... seem to have met the only woman out there who never asks anyone for any money

I can't speak for others but I have never ever said that I have met the only woman out there, in that sense you mention. What I can say for sure is that my wife doesn't ask me for a penny. Fullstop. Neither do her relatives.

Not all Filipinas are the same...

Well I hope your very happy in your nearly paid for house counting your hard earned cash. As you say that it's not one bad experience but many your cynic might also be tempted to say that perhaps the problem is not the ladies but ..................

[Arthur Little]

You are one of the few then if that statement is really true

It's a very sweeping statement if ever there was ... ! I mean, you're bound to have noticed how the vast majority of us are much more than content with our Filipina ladies ... never been happier in fact! So WHAT brought you here, then - if not to stir up resentment?

[Arthur Little]

perhaps the problem is not the ladies but ..................

... all in the mind ... bitterness, perhaps ... or simply just the want of anything better to do???

I will pass on that idea as well

[joebloggs]

I will pass on that idea as well

well at least you can about it

you've got to trust someone sometime unless you want to grow old as a unwilling bachelor

Sorry if i inadvertently ruffled your feathers

I do reside in the real world and i do take notice of what is going on around me

Maybe i hit a raw nerve and that can explain your outburst

I am sure as this is an open forum that you can except the views from other members who do not see things the way you do

Other peoples views and comments even if you dont agree with them can add some balance to a forum

The relationship you are in has worked out well and good luck to you, but please spare a thought to the many others guys out there where things did not go quite as well as the relationship you are in

[joebloggs]

i think most relationships on here have worked out, we dont hear about many divorces, thou probably not many will come on here and post their marriage has broken up. but as 1/3 marriages ends in divorce in the UK, i only know of a few marriages that have ended up that way on here.

Like any forum it is expected to hear alternative views, but to be honest mate I am not at all sure what you are doing on this particular type of forum out of the millions more out there.
I would think most on here have weighed up their options, thought of all the disadvantages and played around in their heads with similar concerns you've raised (and thats outwith family and friends judgments) be it racist, agest etc
But for what ever reasons have decided to persue their filipino in marriage etc
Personally my fiancee is well off (earning more than me) her parents are very well off, and her family back in the phils dont and wont expect anything from me.
In fact if anybody could be accused of using somebody, it would as likely to be aimed at me.

I refer you to post 310 of this thread and you have already reported me for that post

seems you never change !

Lol actually they called me that in Thailand

in the Philippines i am known as mr kuripot

Of course anyone who has been put through the mill by a filipina is not going to be on this site

as long as there is a bit a balance on here i think thats only fair

Surely there needs to be someone on this forum giving an alternative view

If not then anyone reading this forum would think that its all plane sailing to be in a relationship with a filipina

Of course the loved up and some might say "deluded fools" dont care much for my posts and they vent their anger by jumping on my posts with any chance they can get

The truth hurts some people

[Iani]

The guy has a point. I know people who have been taken to the cleaners by their ex's. I'm also wondering just how much experience LM has in Thailand, as many things he says ring EXTREMELY true of certain resorts over there. My experience is from a relationship I had with a thai girl, I got to know somewhat of how their minds work regarding foreign male tourists................think barracuda.

Now I can't really say much about Filipenas. What I do know, is that there is a different mindset to Thais (To generalise). Put another way, if you google for Filipena ripped me off, you get some websites. Put Thai girl rip me off, and the internet lights up!
Not saying both don't rip off, of course they do, however there is definitely a different mindset if we take an average.
One example, and something which is not well known - Thais really don't like to leave Thailand.

This is obviously not to say they don't indulge in ripping off.............and it certainly depends which resorts/cities you go to. Could also be due to Phils not being a place many go for holidays.
I never got over the number of men who left their brains in America/UK/Australia, and decided that the pros............sorry............bargirl he had met really loved him, and if he would send her some money every month, then she would go home and be a good girl.

I am not alone in knowing men who were ripped off for a lot of money, and there have been instances where it reached the millions.

I could detail the scams they got up to. The properties they got their tame farang to build, oh and I earned plenty of brownie points helping them translate the texts and e-mails sent from their sponsors..........all 2, 3.............5 of them!

Well maybe this is a total irrelevance to the thread. Maybe everyone is aware that if they wanted to find a girlfriend in England, the last place they would go is the red light district, so why the hell do they do the same in SE Asia!

Location is all, background is all. Just like if you are from an aspirational family, it's unlikely you would settle with the daughter of a drug taking Stella drinking dosser, it's the same anywhere else.

And unfortunately, yes I've heard of the grapevine of friends they make in the UK, giving all sorts of advice.

In the end, we make our choices based on sound decisions. If something just doesn't seem right - then odds on it ISN'T.

[joebloggs]

your wrong there, some current members on here have been used, cheated or abused by Filipina's but thats only a small minority

of course people should be aware of scammers, but most filipina's are not

you seem to say what you want to say and you are free to do that too, its strange that you keep saying its what you have heard or read, have you tried it yourself, a filipina girlfriend i mean, we all make our own choices weather they are right or wrong, so really whats it got to do with anyone or you, i enjoy reading your comments, you remind me of lots of ex friendsand some still friends and some work colleges a few years ago laughing and saying things about my new life, whos laughing now, i dont live with rose tinted glasses, its hard work making a marrige work, but its worth it in the end for everyone, hope you find happiness one day too

Ok point taken

I suppose some guys will always be a glutton for more punishment, the first relationship never worked out and still they come back for more. I would have thought that once they had their fingers burnt then they would have learnt a lesson.Some guys seem to loose the plot big time when some young "sweetheart" tells them that they are the best thing since sliced bread

I would never say never and if the right woman comes along then of course i would enter into a normal relationship. After 10 years of marriage and remaining single for a number of years i am in no rush

[London_Manila]

That's fine as well, i have many friends here in london and also in the philippines

I dont think most of the loved up ones on this site would want me as a friend because i might tell them a few home truths

I think you are a troll & a dreamer & most certainly bola bola

I can't for the life of me think why you would have any friends in the Phils with the kind of attitude you display. You have no respect or any personality at all so why don't you find another forum that members will accept you as a genuine member because folk here certainly don't.

Tip take the hint

I am not going anywhere so get use to it and i dont care if you like me or not

my posts reflect what i have seen and know and i think you are the one who needs to come out of your own little dreamworld

you accuse me of being a troll and then post a troll message yourself
