Searching for a genuine filipina girl

[Ako Si Jamie]

What if we start a thread called... Suggestions for Jamie`s new username?

I think that idea has gone cold. Not many suggestions being bandied around.

[Ako Si Jamie]

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

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

How about maria'sXjamie ?

Split up with my Pinay earlier this year around three years into our LDR. Took this long for the exaggerated stories to surface and the requests for money to begin. I'm pretty sure the family put her up to it and they were seen as pillars of the community too. I did everything right apart from underestimating the family.

Oh, Jamie ... so , to learn that! Today's actually the first time I've been on this thread for ages, so I hadn't realised anything was amiss when reading your posts on other threads last night.

Very good Graham lol although I'd rather not use her name at all.

[Arthur Little]

I don't regret meeting her, though.

's good! Glad you haven't any regrets ... life's too short!

No problem, Arth!

Really?

We might surprise you bro!!
Only problem is that you always seem to have the best ideas!

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.

[London_Manila]

If that's what it takes then so be it. Best to know early on than years down the line. I actually think it's vital to know 100% that she loves you before thinking about marriage. And it doesn't matter what she says as this has about as much value as a Yum Burger from Jollibee's. Talk is cheap.

Of course, there are Pinay's out there who want a man for all the right reasons. I know a few here in the U.K. They're the type who don't mind going out to work to support their family in the Phils and don't expect their husbands to shoulder the burden.

And let's be clear about scammers. They come from all corners of the globe including Britain. Any woman who marries a man for financial reasons is a scammer in my eyes, regardless of their nationality.

I think most woman in this world are attracted to wealth.
Let's face it most paupers are not going to make good husbands.

[London_Manila]

Jumped in on this late, but I think an important thing to look for, is someone who is at least working, and beware of anyone who seems to spend a lot of time online - be it dating sites or facebook and the like - without a good reason.

I won't go into reasons, just boredom I suppose, but I have been chatting to both Filipino and Thai girls over the last year and have found Thai girls more likely to be in work, maybe because there is so much money being sent to families in Philippines from overseas workers and they have been made lazy, or the economy is not as good.

Language is a problem in Thailand though, but I do like Thailand and prefer the food.

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.

You sound a bit defeatist there, LM.

Not all women are materialistic, some see a man's loyalty for instance as a form of wealth.

At the end of the day there is somebody out there for everyone and you need to install a positive belief into your mind that someday you will find her.

Well said Jamie

[grahamw48]

Very true.

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

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

[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.

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

I'm chatting to a few at the moment, and unfortunately on the site I use, get the impression that after the usual introductions etc then money pops up.

Last one was maybe only 20 mins when medicine needed for Father reqd

Its them who should be cautious over you les.
The cost only £250.00 bargain I thought as I accidentally deleted her

I did meet a girl which brought me to this Forum a few years ago. She was there when I arrived, but more importantly we had spent 18 months chatting.

I would chat at least 6 months before considering going over again as it gives you a chance to see if she is genuine

My impression and knowledge of the dating sites is 2 out of 5 are genuine, I reckon.

I feel sorry for the girls who chat with you Les.

Seriously though Nick, do your research first there are good and bad on there. Even if you don't find anyone to meet over there you can still have a good time. Just do your homework on the culture of the country.

[les_taxi]

Me too

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

Actually I have a very good standard of living here in London and my house is paid off already

I will never get married again because I want my property to remain mine

Getting married and purchasing houses or lots in the Philippines is for the loved-up lot who think things will never go wrong. If it does you only have yourself to blame

I will probably end up living with a Filipina in the Philippines in rented accommodation of course

Marriage or bringing someone to the Uk will never be in my plans

[London_Manila]

Try asking a Thai to say RED RIVER = wed wiver

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

When I split with Maria, I said to myself, if I was to meet another Pinay abroad I'd either live with her in the Philippines for two years or regularly visit her for a minimum of five years, before thinking of marriage.

[Iani]

I'm very surprised that you said that!

I'm not particularly. I'll make a guess the guy isn't in a relationship. and make a guess (without trawling back through his posts) he's either divorced or has friends who are and whose ex's have walked out and taken everything leaving him stood in his underwear.

Your opinion often changes a lot when you meet "the one", but whilst your single, that mindset from being stung in the past is very strong.

[Terpe]

I will never get married again.....

I said that too.
Kept to it for many years.
Then one day out of the blue it all changed.

I'm happy but I'll never marry again ...whatever

[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
