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

Wow

I came across something similair with Elsa.. While we were dating and she was in Hong Kong, her friend kept feeding her stories. Now this friend of hers was dating an "American" and he was obviuosly winding her up. The best one was that every night, British husbands of filipinas beat their wife with a 12 inch ruler. Elsa did ask me about this, and I tried not to laugh, omg Then theres the one that the Beatles and Bonnie Tyler are actually American.

I put it down the fact that people in Philippines dont even know where the UK is - I came across this so many times. The best one is I tell them I'm from Wales. Where? England? Where? UK? Ah USA?! NO UK! Thats in Canada right? oh: oh: oh: oh: oh:

You know it is not just the Filipinos that sometimes do not know much about the UK, i was in USA a few years ago and some of them thought N.Ireland was connected with Scotland and they seemed to think things like electricity was a new thing to us.

You are always going to hear bad stories, i am not sure if any of you watched a program a few months ago were a filipina had her English husband killed for money and coz he was going to divorce her as she was having an affair. Well it made my friends ask me questions like " are you sure you are doing the right thing & do you really know her" i just laughed. 80+ million people in the Philippines and they hear of one bad apple and get weary of my relationship.

Thats why they need to come to our forum and check us out and see we are not wife beaters or killers.
