Hi people,
I've been reading some of the experiences that people have had with their relationships.
There are many happy ones, but also a lot where men seem to be expected to be the piggy bank of the new wife. I know this would be in the minority - well at least i'm guessing that's true - but it took me back to an e-mail I had some time ago which was through a contact on a Dating Site for Filipino ladies.
After the normal chat to start with, there was only one thing she was interested in, and that was how much money I earn. Now the alarm bells were ringing so loud it was deafening and that automatically sealed her fate with me.
I didn't just cut her straight off but decided to play along with her. I simply told her I was earning about £15,000 to see what her reply would be.
Now the average in the U.K is about 26k, so I was well below that and also saying that, there are a lot of people in this country - millions actually - who are on the minimum wage and earn less than £15,000. So it was a fair number to tell her. Her response? She freaked out
"You not get such little money", "All Englishmen earn much more money than that" "We read over here about how Englishman rich".
Now that lot came out in one e-mail, and the last one as well once I blocked her.
Now the question is this. What sort of percentage of ladies from the Phillipines do you believe are far more interested in the money a man has than in the man himself? And would you ever find a lady who would come to England to live with a very low wage earner?
And would you tell them whether you were rich or poor before you found out if they actually had any feelings for you, or tell them after.?
