Just had a rather worried girlfriend emailing she has heard from more than 1 source that english guys expect to marry a filipina and have a filipna maid and get to sleep with both of them :blink: ...she wanted to know if this is 'usual' over here
...is this really how they view us if so thats really sad :(
Bwaahaahaa. If only I could AFFORD a maid!!! The best I could get to stay with us was the 63 year old Mother In Law!!!!

I see where you're coming from though, as women my wife met, in shops, on buses, in the street, would tell her immediately they found out I was a seaman, that I had a girlfriend in every port. No 'ifs' or 'buts', they just KNEW I had. They were not ashamed to pour out this drivel whether I was stood there or not.

Which brings us neatly back to the old Filipino 'crab mentality' issue...... oh:

They HATE to see someone do better than them, be happier than them, or be more succesful, and will bend over backwards to drag you back down to their level if they get the chance
