Searching for a genuine filipina girl

[Terpe]

Split up with my Pinay earlier this year around three years into an LDR. Took this long for the exaggerated stories to surface and the requests for money to begin. I'm pretty sure the family put her up to it and they were seen as pillars of the community too. I did everything right apart from underestimating the family. I don't regret meeting her, though.

Hi Jamie
Genuinely sorry to learn that.
That's a long time. Surely something unusual.
Take care mate.

Glad to see you posting

Cheers Peter.

The best advice I would give someone if they're planning to meet a Pinay is to tell them early doors that under no circumstances will any money be sent/given at any time. If she is a scammer she's more likely to lose interest and move onto someone else.

Most would run away on those kinds of statements

If that's what it takes then so be it. Best to know early on than years down the line. I actually think it's vital to know 100% that she loves you before thinking about marriage. And it doesn't matter what she says as this has about as much value as a Yum Burger from Jollibee's. Talk is cheap.

Of course, there are Pinay's out there who want a man for all the right reasons. I know a few here in the U.K. They're the type who don't mind going out to work to support their family in the Phils and don't expect their husbands to shoulder the burden.

And let's be clear about scammers. They come from all corners of the globe including Britain. Any woman who marries a man for financial reasons is a scammer in my eyes, regardless of their nationality.

I think most woman in this world are attracted to wealth.
Let's face it most paupers are not going to make good husbands.

You sound a bit defeatist there, LM.

Not all women are materialistic, some see a man's loyalty for instance as a form of wealth.

At the end of the day there is somebody out there for everyone and you need to install a positive belief into your mind that someday you will find her.

Actually I have a very good standard of living here in London and my house is paid off already

I will never get married again because I want my property to remain mine

Getting married and purchasing houses or lots in the Philippines is for the loved-up lot who think things will never go wrong. If it does you only have yourself to blame

I will probably end up living with a Filipina in the Philippines in rented accommodation of course

Marriage or bringing someone to the Uk will never be in my plans
