Searching for a genuine filipina girl

[Iani]

The Philippines is much more western and the culture is not so different to ours.

Thailand and its people are far removed from western culture.
Thai people don't even think along the same lines us.

OMG you're right there.

Absolutely don't want to go too deeply into this, but it's nuts how some people compare Thai's to Pinoy. Maybe it's both coming from SE Asia, and some people have trouble telling the difference. It's a bit like this - some say the Scots and English are different, and we've been in the same country for centuries. Few would deny there's a different temperament between say the British and Greeks or Spanish - and these are all Christian (nominally) countries.

Thais in religion, outlook, temperament and many others are very different to Filipinos. Neither is "better" of course, just different.

Many people have come a cropper going into relationships with Thais, as they have failed to realise a huge culture and temperament difference.

Well, that and there's a disproportionate number of men going on holiday there and getting entirely the wrong end of the stick with many young women working in the resorts.

PS Thai food is awesome, one of the best in the world

So ... ... basically, what you're saying is ... it's a "Thai" between the two!!

It's easy to tell the difference between Thailanders and Filipino's......Thailanders cannot say "Sainsburys" and Filipinos cannot say "Sheet" without it sounding like something else! lol

Try asking a Thai to say RED RIVER = wed wiver

How about this Pinoy expression: "I don't know to you?"

[Ako Si Jamie]

I agree. Lazy Pinays as well as snobs and those who are very tampo prone should be avoided at all costs.

I had quite a few who said they gave up their job to look for something better - or look after sick Aunt etc.

But remember guys, some lovely genuine ones out there, but so hard to find.

I have another idea which doesn't involve dating sites.

Travel sites such as this one:

http://www.travbuddy.com/Philippines...l-partners-c86

There are quite a few locals who will show you around their hometown/area including females. Of course they may not be looking for a partner, but's it a good way to meet new people - and you never know, it could lead to something. Obviously it's wise to be wary especially if you're being escorted around cities such as Manila for example with a relative stranger. It only costs ten dollars to contact members which is around £6 I think - and that's a one off payment I believe.

Probably lots of semi pros on sites like that, just like all the other sites.

[Ako Si Jamie]

Claudia on the first page looks lovely.

[les_taxi]

Maybe good idea, but you could just fly out and sit in a mall and chat easily.

That's another option. At least they're easier to strike up a conversation with than British women.

[grahamw48]

Very true.

My girl knows I have naff all, but she loves my smile and captivating personality.

And modesty..I`m sure!

[Ako Si Jamie]

Someone once told me Pinay's believe that marriage is a gift from god whereas Thai women believe sex is a gift from God.

[les_taxi]

I feel sorry for the girls who chat with you Les

Me too

[stevewool]

Been there done that. Some of us just like wedding cake. Would I do it again? Well there is no need I think these days,

But I will say this, what is mine is Ems. For what she has given me in such a short time she is worth every penny

When I find someone daft enough...

[Ako Si Jamie]

Scammers not only think we're rich but also stupid - thanks to the goons who brag on their dating profile about what they have.

Scammed three times in as many years by girls he's never met and he's still going back for another portion

Someone needs to take this young man aside and have a word.

Someone in the comments section below the article suggests that this kid may have Aspergers or something similar.. Got to say that I do feel sorry for him..
Hopefully he gets what he is looking for.

Possibly, but my guess he's like this because his head is always in a bible and cut off from the real world.

After almost 22 years of marriage, I returned home from the Philippines to find my key would not open the door at home, my car was in the drive, and divorce proceedings were in motion. Also, my savings had been moved into another a/c - all on the strength of a rumour - and never did see my home again. And out of my half of our savings, I was left with a £5000 shortfall.

Never fought for anything - just calmly let everything go to my ex. Without going into detail, I have some regrets but decided to move forward with my life. My ex wife and I had a perfect life (or so I thought) no mortgage no debt. We had savings and a very beautiful home in a nice rural area that we purchased in 2007. Cornwall and Philippines every year - sometimes twice a year - also, the last twelve years of our time together we had a new car every year (no finance) and during all the years together never argued - just an occasional difference of opinion (Perfect life).

Forgot to mention no the last thirteen years of our life together!

A rumour probably concocted by herself to serve as an excuse for her actions and also to make you look like the bad guy.

Spot on and the best way to get everyone on their side is to say the "husband" was a heavy drinker, a wife beater and never provided any food

Most people will turn against you after hearing that................

[Terpe]

........the "husband" was a heavy drinker, a wife beater and never provided any food
.

Sadly that can also often turn out to the case

A very unfortunate outcome for the wife
