Doh.. Insulted my girl!

good advice, mine didnt ask for money at any point until it came to making wedding arrangements. having tried web dating sites in the past it becomes apparent very quickly when someone is scamming or genuine.

I have a question that I've never found a logical and satisfying answer to. Why in the world do these women ask for money to send to their families in return for giving you their love? I'm a woman, but I was raised in a family where we don't rely on outside sources of income. Maybe it's just pride, but I would rather rot than ask someone to be my constant source of money to support ten aunts, seventeen cousins, thirteen siblings, parents, and whomever else is looking for easy money (who probably don't have enough sense to invest the money properly anyway). I know they're all hard workers, but why would your family ask for a handout just because your partner has more money?

I'm not trying to be negative, but I could never understand the whole concept of the "i'll be your wife so please show me you love me by sending cash to my family back home every so often" thing. I have friends who decided to go down that path but i can't wrap my mind around it.

Poverty makes people do all sorts of things, dontpushme.
Prostitution is all about money.
You sound educated and probably come from a good family, unfortunately not everyone does.
We should be thankful for our comfortable lives in comparison to others.
There are also greedy people everywhere who have money and just take more from anyone.
