    It's hard to recommend dating sites because of the amount of scammers and there's not one that doesn't suffer its fair share. For what it's worth I've used Cherry Blossoms, International Cupid and Filipino Cupid in the past.

    I have had success meeting women off dating sites but many men do if they're prepared to travel to the Philippines. That's the easy part.

    But to define success properly IMO would involve being married to a Filipina until your dying days and for her to make you blissfully happy.

    I'm not even a fraction there, currently.

    I met my Mrs through 'dateinasia'. (Free site, just be careful of the transvestites and prostitutes. Plenty of nice girls on there too).

    Keith thinks so too but there's hardly any women here. It's just a male orientated forum who like Oriental women.

    You make it sound like a cattle market. The fact is that most of us here have already wives, girlfriends and families with our 'oriental women'

    So none of us who have been in a relationship with one, like oriental women?

    Met my wife on Filipino Cupid. Plenty of scammers on there, I just used common sense.
    I was never one for dating sites, actually still haven't told family we met on one. They think we met through facebook.

    I was off work sick for a couple of weeks and was so bored I was browsing the internet and accidentally clicked an ad and it opened up Filipino Cupid. I browsed and as they say the rest is history.

    Why do a lot of ladies on those type of sites demurely hiding their face seem to have a very pronounced five o'Clock shadow



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    The last time I used a dating site was over six months ago but just lately I've been recieving interest via this site to my email address from women worldwide on a daily basis, despite having deleted my profile.

    I'm guessing my profile must be still visible but without any content, so I reckon these women must be scammers desperate for anyone.

    Is it your first time on foreign dating sites? If it is, there's a lot to learn. Number one rule is to never send any money.

    And yep, she's a scammer alright!

    This is going to sound rude and for that I apologise. But you are going to go through a lot of heartbreak and a lot of money if you honestly need advice if she is scamming you.
    Like I said in a previous post in this thread, it's all about common sense. Don't let your heart rule your head. You will find the right one, just don't expect it to happen overnight, it rarely does.

    Follow your gut instinct I have known well into triple figure numbers of filipinas of those 4 of them would have crawled over broken glass for me,nothing was too much problem for them if i was concerned and in all the time i knew them not one ever even hinted she needed cash,they all bought me gifts,one even bought me flights to pinas (admitedly it was from HK) you have to sift a lot of gravel to find a diamond,real genuine women wouldnt stoop to asking you for cash,she is chancing her luck,block her.

    If she gets paid on the 30th, then that means she was paid 6 days ago

    There was one guy used to be on here,chatted to a girl,said she was travelling to work during the maguindanao massacre,took a round through the shoulder (but she would be out of hospital in a couple of days)some of these girls come out with the dumbest of scams.

    Just remember this....... never send money, never ever send money, never never never send money. And if they ask you for any money, never send it.

    So many reasons will be put to you, like the example from Tawi. Don't let yourself be tempted to send money for any reason. I m sure many members here found their gf's and wives never asked for a penny. So many horror stories. Don't become a statistic.
    If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

    It's par for the course, just block that one and on to the next dozen. Don't start pinning your heart on one straight away. Just be patient and establish friendships... as you would back in the UK. Take your time.

    ANY requests for money...next please. There are millions of nice decent girls in the Phils who would be too proud anyway to ask any favours of you after such a short time.

    Also, it should go without saying, please show some respect for the ladies. There are plenty of rude lowlife men on that site too, asking 'good' girls to do cam shows, etc.

    As for ladies and dating sites,imthink life was much easier in the pre-internet snail mail days

    It was much better when the Royal Mail was involved in relationships, more exciting waiting for the mail and to find the first photo's, good happy moments
