''Why do so many men report bad Filipina dating/marrying experiences?''

[RickyR]

I think cultural differences, unrealistic expectations and the unwillingness to compromise are probably the main reasons for failure.
6+ years later and we still have cultural misunderstandings but they get less and less as time goes by.

Yes, that is apparent on both sides. I live close to a Brit/Fil who's been married nigh on 20 years. Still, they argue about money. He works a 37 hour week and spends his spare time deliverying leaflets to suppliment their income
She works fulltime, again holding down 2 jobs..apart from saving money for clothing hers gets sent to the Phils.

This remains a bugbear for them. He's working all the hours to pay off their mortgage while she remits her's back ''home''

This is one cultural difference that is hard to swallow. He said it doesn't get any easier.

She's a lovely woman..definitely no scam artist unlike what I've experienced. I would gladly shoulder his cross. So let's not confuse the two. Scammers and cultural differences are at opposing poles.
