There seem to be a lot of insinuations going on here, so here's my take on it.

Wherever you come from in the world there's going to be good and bad, givers and takers. Now, of course there's going to be an element of scamming when you want to meet a partner over the net, and some are going to get caught out.

Our cultures vary greatly, but as women from the Philippines have a reputation for being beautiful, the men have the reputation of being womanisers, whereas western men have (hopefully) a reputation of being honest and loyal.

Maybe some of the women on here can confirm my theory that honesty and loyalty is an attractive feature, and it's not just our wallets you're interested in
