hey bro why the despair and generalisations? its very easy to stigmatise a whole nation over 2 bad experiences, probably coz its your first exposure to filipinas? how many bad experiences have you had with english women? or women from any other country? or men from the uk, or any other country?(and i mean in business unless of the other persuasion!) y'know there's alot of strange people everywhere so dont be suprised at attempts to shaft you at any given opportunity!
i think that internet dating is fraught with dangers of this kind and its easy to be seen as a soft touch and there are plenty of all types of people out there looking for easy prey! but hey dude you said 'no' so you're on the right path! plenty of dudes out there who found out the hard way they were being led by the nose only after spending their life savings?
you can obviously see a scam when it arrives at your door so keep on going and wade thru the trash until you find someone who is being honest with you. there is no quick fix here, it takes time and you need to have your wits about you at all times in the early stages, and sometimes in the middle stages too! ; )
but look it bro its still got to be a better foundation for a relationship than going down the local niteclub n pullin with ur beer goggles after you bought her a six pack of double vodka red bulls!!!
basically i think everyman who has attempted and or succeeded with internet dating as a meeting point has been scammed at some point(some realising it and others not!!)
and lets just say that a nurse tried to have your financial pants down, it doesnt matter whether she was a filipina or not!!
we live and hopefully we learn
stick with it bro and good luck, it sure is a jungle out there! : )
