    exactly Graham “Men are visually aroused by women's bodies and less sensitive to their arousal by women's personalities because they are trained early into that response, while women are less visually aroused and more emotionally aroused because that is their training.

    True Moy, but all those mentions of 'arousal' in your reply have made me feel rather peculiar and now I'm going to have to go lie down for a while.

    my ex got to meet some nice filipino's here in York... though also did meet some filipino's who were not apart the filipino community in York who told her to leave the others alone as they all talked among each other...

    Though to be honest as an outsider.. the locals here (I had around for tea a few times) - really tried to help her adjust (brought her food etc)

    Sadly it did not work out, but from what i learnt i was very happy for the local filipino community.

    Some have short memories too....I remember my family and I boarding the plane in Manila going to KL. We were walking up to our seats and I noticed there was a Filipina sat next to my wife's seat sobbing her heart out. She was alone, obviously an overseas worker...when she see our little tribe taking our seats she perked up.....The wife ignored her I was gutted, gutted for the Filipina....Short memories, indeed

    This is very sad and very true! I have worked in Egypt for years and Pinoys would gather every Friday (mind you to attend the mass) and you could just feel and hear them talking often badly about someone who's not around, so that's one of the reason I stopped going to the church . And pinoy men would do their tricks on you despite telling them that you're taken!

    I took a day out in Manchester today and saw 2 middle age women, I could pretty spot a Filipina I must say: jeans, 'rebonded' hair with hair dye which is at least a year old, distinctive gait and always holding a mobile (latest model ofc!). I smiled at them but they ignored me hahaha! Anyway, as I went home I bumped into this cool-looking mid-age Pinay, she saw me from a far and asked "Pinay?!", she's so jolly and I would love to see her again soon.

    What does this 'rebonded' hair mean ?

    I sometimes see it mentioned on facebook by Filipino friends, so got to thinking... maybe I could have some 'rebonded' on to the top of my head.

    grahamw48, hair rebonding is uber cheap in the Philippines, well it depends on where and who your stylist it. Basically, Hair rebonding is a process which permanently and chemically straightens your hair and makes it sleek, shiny and straight. Yes, some women do need a bit of a trick to woo a man.

    Oh, thanks for that. I guess it's more 'extensions' that I need then.

    Yes, and the chemicals they use in Philippines on the hair, are illegal in UK!

    Plenty of these chemicals are from brands L'Oreal and Kerastase, which are also used here in the UK. Well at least from the salon's I used to go to.

    What was the price you used to pay in Philippines Rayna? Maritess used to pay P1000 and I used to wait for her for up to 4 hours and my eyes were watering whilst waiting!

    I used to pay around PHP4000 (more or less) for mine..I used to go to First Aid Salon in Greenbelt 3 which is a sister company of Bench/Fix Salon. They use Kerastase and L'Oreal products that's why they are expensive.

    But I didn't have my hair rebonded when we had vacation in Manila last November. I won't be able to maintain it here since it's so expensive going to salons here and I don't have that much money for that. I used to go every 6 months to have a hair rebond when I was in Manila but I was working that time and can afford it, but now, not anymore!

    I think it's called hair straightening here in the UK if I'm not mistaken.

    Hello Tish, its really hard to explain but I could clock a Pinay, living abroad for few years and my past time is people watching. I guess, a pinay's gait is composed of small steps, slow and the foot is almost not lifting when she does make a step.

    Btw, my hubby and I went out for a glass yday and we saw a young pinay (maybe 25) on her way out from our compound. She did try hard to avoid me by squeezing herself out of the electric security gate and crossed the road. I caught her looking at me for few times but nada, nothing happened. I guess, she was just really shy hahaha! Next time I will just have to call her attention by shouting "Hoy! Ate!!!"
