The way most Filipino`s have described "Crab mentality" to me is thus..Originally Posted by bigtombowski
Think of the Philippines as a huge crab pot..
All inhabitants wanting to escape and climb out ..
The problem is that as one nears the top,the others pull it back in.
If one does manage to escape then some of the others will scream abuse in a jealous rage!!
Anyway..That how it was explained to me some years ago..
