Do all filipina's brought to uk act like this??

[sentinent]

After living here in the R.P for a fair while,I have got to know 100`s of couples that also live here with wide and varying age differences.

From my observation they seem to live happy lives for the most part with a pretty obvious real love of each other.. I`m trying to think back but cannot for the life of me think of a single couple that have split up.. So that must be a good thing.

In the UK,I know of 100`s of white couples with similar ages and can think easily of many that have split up, divorced, abusive relationship etc etc..

So not such a good thing IMO..

In conclusion I think that even if it is a financial trade off that breaks the ice between two people (not always the case) and they then go on to live happy lives then its a simple case of JOB DONE!!
Whats the problem?

Actually, what I really mean is....What is your problem?

I think this a forum where the members can express their opinions and recount their experiences. Because I have a different view from yours do you think that you should be challenging my views with the phrase "What is your problem?" I doubt very much that you have got to know "100s of couples" with wide age differences who live here and that none have split up. You clearly fabricate data to support a very poor argument. Do not be so confrontational as it only undermines your very weak case.

I can only see one person as confrontational here.

I don't mind peoples views but to actually say the things you have said is quite insulting to those who have actually found some happiness in life, certainly negative comments come to mind.

Statistics:

Western/Western Divorce Rate more than 50%

In California USA 70%

American average 57%

Western/Filipino/Asian Divorce Rate 20%

(Data supplied by the US Census Bureau)

So a young Filipina is going to commit to an old white man? That is how the contra argument goes on this thread.

So what is the young Filipina attracted to? The boyish good looks? The dashing style? No. Of course not. She is looking for someone (anyone in truth) who will support her (and usually her extended family also). It is not that I do not have sympathy with the geriatric guys who fall for the "you have good heart" line. It is easy to lose 30 years of age on the plane ride over to Phils. You arrive in Phils as Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Filipinas are wonderful at convincing you that you are everything they are looking for. When ALL they are looking for is to get out of Phils pronto or to find someone to take them and their families out of the abject poverty they endure in the Philippines.

So I repeat my opening contribution to this thread. When there is a wide age gap between a white guy and a Filipina then affection becomes a transaction. Those of you who are in such a relationship can continue to delude yourselves as much as you wish. Those of you who feel you want to get aggressive or insulting can do so. But I am only being realistic.

If there was an Olympic event for subterfuge then Filipinas would win hands down every four years.

And I am not speaking as someone who has suffered at the hands of a Filipina. I am speaking as someone who lives on this planet. I have had relationships with Filipinas. And, in their more reflective moments, they will openly accept that they go with much older white guys solely for financial security.

Personally my wife was classed as a middle class filipina living in a 3 bedroom home with her family who managed to look after their family without handouts but money from work.

She also owns land there for investment for our sons future.

She acclaimed this long before we met and has never asked me for one penny.

She is very successful in her own right with a university degree second to none.

She is a missionary to help those who have suffered the most pain and suffering anybody could ever imagine.

As a nurse I see what she has to give, I see whats inside her heart, I feel and know what she has to offer.

She could have had money - in fact a marriage to a Senator's son - but she was not happy.

Whoopee doo, lucky me! I got lucky but I suppose I see inside a person and feel the real thing.

Mmm am I happy, God, you bet I am, hope you are too take care and god bless

I met my other half in London, she'd been here 5 years before we met. She earns more than I do, and believe me I'm no Brad Pitt or George Clooney.

She must be

Thats correct and IMO you have a problem! Its my view/"opinion"...

You clearly fabricate data to support a very poor argument. Do not be so confrontational as it only undermines your very weak case.

Why would I need to fabricate data? I`m not arguing with you and I have no case to answer.
Just sharing my personal observations from both countries over the last 35 years.
Do you think it unusual to encounter 100`s of different couples in that time frame?
Perhaps you need to get out more!!
