Preface

 

If you’re looking for information about Stefan Muth or considering working for him or his medical website at www.diagnose-me.com at his old run-down shack in his overrated forest preserve in Laupahoehoe, Hawaii, (which only he likes to rail about) then consider yourself lucky that you found this page.  Here you will learn the whole truth about him, what he is and what he’s done to others, before you decide to get involved with him, which may save you a lot of time, energy and trouble, as well as a bad experience so many have endured already.  All the info on this page is true to the best of my knowledge. 

 

I’ve known him and lived with him for 5 months.  Here’s a brief summary of him.

 

In short, the man is twisted, dysfunctional, highly unstable, a wacko and nutcase.  Basically, he is the kind of person who hates everyone and is in turn hated by everyone as well.  That’s just the kind of person he is.  And as of now, has gotten much worse, turning dangerous, sociopathic, and displaying antisocial behaviors.  For some reason, he harbors a sick twisted disdain and hatred for everyone and everything in the universe, which rules his behaviors and words.  That’s why only shit emanates from his mouth and thoughts, even toward the most wonderful things in life.  In addition, he acts like a bully, is verbally abusive, and turns all his friends and workers into enemies, even the most pleasant and docile ones.  Plenty of examples of all these things abound.  Deep down, he is so nasty and disgusting that even the sewer is cleaner than what he is on the inside, and even the devil is a more likable and good entity than he is.  When you get to know the real him, all this becomes apparent.  As a result of all these qualities, the man walks around with this really bad energy and vibe about him that feels like radiation poison to you, dangerous to say the least.

 

He can’t be reasoned with even.  When he talks to you, what he says is often so non-sensible that you can’t response logically to it.  The moment you realize this, you get this sinking feeling that there is no reconciliation with him.  One classic example of what he does essentially is put you between a rock and hard place, a kind of no-win situation, then he proceeds to verbally abuse the hell out of you, until he decides to eject you from his life.  NO ONE ever parts amicably with him.  I rarely ever have problems getting along with guys, since they are usually straightforward and make sense, except psycho ones like these.  As they say, the eyes are the window to the soul, so just look at his eyes in the photos above, and see what vibes you get. 

 

Normally, I would never create a web page dedicated to bashing someone, but this guy has truly earned it, and if you read on, you’ll know why.  In fact, he has a tendency to bring out the worst in others, inciting violent urges from peaceful docile people. (See the breaking news update below)  And he loves doing this too, for it gives him an excuse to hate others and make them into his enemy.  Deep down, that’s what he really wants.  Probably, his biggest dream is to have the whole world against him while he sits in a sheltered position where he can bash and trash the rest of the world.  In fact, that’s what he does every night after dinner, venting his criticism at everything in the world in front of whatever company is with him.  Also, since he himself has created his own webpage against me, it’s only fair that I be allowed to do the same in retaliation.  But make no mistake, before he turned into my enemy, I NEVER did anything wrong to him EVER, and that is a fact I would swear to with every fiber of my being.

 

In case you think it’s a case of my word against his, you can verify my credibility here:  http://www.happierabroad.com/Verify_Me.htm.  And you can see the other testimonials about him in the insightful quotes section.

 

Some things he can’t escape are:

 

- He has never explained for example, why he gave me no work, and then put the blame on me for that, with any justifiable reason.

 

- He has never justified why hates with fury someone like me who NEVER wronged him in any way, but did everything he asked.  Nor has he cited one thing I ever did wrong to him.  One thing for sure:  ANYONE who hates, bullies, and verbally abuses someone else who NEVER wronged them, must have serious mental issues.  Common sense should tell you that.

 

- He has never reasonably explained why he demands unrealistic things of others and faults them for it, when the fault is within himself.  For example, he once demanded that I give him a highly detailed scientific topographical map of the Philippines with every factor accounted for, leaving no room for error.  Such is not available to the public, and probably not even to the Philippine government!  Yet he demanded no less! (How do you deal or reason with someone like this, who is in their own world?)  Another time, he asked me to find a five bedroom house for him and the whole family, which was cheap, flawless, and located in an area with clean air.  I did my best, using all the realtor agents I could find to help.  But Stefan claimed he could do better, which he never even lifted a finger to prove.  Examples like this abound.  The man doesn’t work with people or reality.  He demands unrealistic or impossible things, and even when you give him what he wants, he finds something wrong with it.  He doesn’t even have good communication skills, so sometimes you don’t even know what he wants and if you try to ask him, he gets angry and insults you for having to ask him what he wants.  He has the worst people skills of any boss or manager I’ve ever met. 

 

  • Note:  Stefan is more than welcome to write his response to anything here, which I will gladly post here.  And that’s because if he did it would be further evidence that validates what a wacko and nutcase he is, for his insanity is self-evident from his own words.  Deep down, he knows this, so he’s afraid to write a response to any of this.  In truth, he has no legitimate valid points to counter any of the accurate descriptions of him here.  If he did, he would offer them.  Thus, his continued silence on the matter only proves this. 

 

  • Note:  If you’re reading this Stefan, note that I will not take down this page until you pay a portion of the $2000 bet that you lost to me fair and square.  I have the emails to prove it.  I won’t be hoping for it, but I have the right to expose you for it.

 

 

Introduction

 

Let me introduce him briefly.

 

Stefan Muth is the owner of a successful profitable online business located at www.diagnose-me.com, a medical self-diagnostic program, very extensive and the first of its kind, from which he derives a high daily revenue.  He makes around $400 a day from it, in addition to another $400 a day (amazingly) from Google ads on over 3000 web pages of medical terminology that are linked to the online medical reports that he sells to his customers.  Thus, he makes a total of around $800 to $1000 a day, of which he pays around 40 percent in taxes, and divides the rest among many other expenses. 

 

Oddly, he also lives as a hermit in the forest at his Hawaii residence in Laupahoehoe on the Big Island, running his online business out of an old run-down tiny wooden shack.  He requires no social interaction and strangely, for a man of his income and financial assets, lives in the simplest conditions and in a house that looks like it needs to be bulldozed over.  He is also a workaholic who spends most of the day and night behind the computer 7 days a week, and judges men by their money and career achievements.  Being a strict vegan, he is very non-spiritual and quick to kill any insects in his sight that enter his home or shack office. 

 

He has an unusual blend of traits, for example he is one of the most generous and spendy guys I’ve ever met, going through money like you wouldn’t believe, but is also one of the most anal retentive, perfectionistic, negative, fault-finding and critical guys I’ve ever met as well, as well as a SUPER control freak who is completely intolerant of any risk, whether small or only perceived.  It’s very rare to see all those qualities in the same person.  You can read a description of his seven primary unpleasant traits in the chapter below.  In my judgment, he is very similar to Ross Perot, the former Presidential candidate of 1992 and 1996, in that he is a great entrepreneur and genius at making money, but has horrible people skills, a hot temper, perfectionistic, a control freak, is intolerant of any little mistakes and of any people different from him, a bit delusional/mad, and in his own world.  Thus, it’s no wonder that 100 percent of everyone who’s ever worked for him, at GOV (Garden of Vegan, his forest preserve) or www.diagnose-me.com (his online business that he runs out of a small shack filled with laptops), parts with him unamicably as an enemy.  You can read his self-description in his own words and see some pictures he posted of himself and his property, at www.theoneforyou.com/me

 

As a cynic and doomsayer of the US economy, he has chosen to store a large amount of his money in gold, claiming that gold is the most stable denomination, much safer than the volatile US dollar.  Allegedly, he has a large treasure of gold bars hidden somewhere in his forest compound in Laupahoehoe, HI. (treasure hunters, take note)  I’d guess around half a million dollars worth of gold, or maybe even more.  He claims that no one will ever be able to find it.  But obviously, if he has it “hidden” on his land, it can’t be above ground or in midair, but somewhere underground camouflaged well.

 

Stefan and I partnered up back in the Fall of 2006 to go the Philippines together to find love and a serious partner.  We shared in common a dislike for American culture and non-interest from American women.  When I arrived at his Hawaii residence, he promised to give me steady work doing medical research for him.  He never delivered on that promise, and gave no valid reason other than that he didn’t feel like it.  But that was ok because he bought me a ticket to go to the Philippines with him, which was more than generous.  We got along well at first, though he cracked way too many jokes about me at my expense.  When we arrived in the Philippines, he stayed with the first girl on his list and they’ve been together since.  I’ve written down their story in a post, where you probably arrived at this link from.

 

After a few months, as he settled into his new life here with his girlfriend and his son, he changed, became more irritable and grouchy, and we started to have less in common.  Eventually, we grew apart due to differences in values and mentality (I still don’t understand his reasoning and logic, which seems to work great in computer programs but is horrible in personal/social relationships, and is often illogical and incorrect)  And my usefulness to him ran its course (not due to any fault of my own), and he admitted to me that he only likes friends who are “useful” to him.  There was nothing I could do about it as he never gave me the work he promised, and I didn’t fit into his family life either. 

 

So he suddenly decided to dislike me.  There was no logical reason, he simply decided to hate me.  As you might know, those who are “haters” don’t need a good reason to hate, they simply create one or use anything as an excuse.  He had enough of me and blacklisted me in his mind, giving me the cold shoulder, even though I did absolutely NOTHING wrong to him personally.  It was as if I was suddenly coldly “deleted” from his mind and life like a computer program, without a hearing, and that was that.  Rather than a human being, I was simply a “digit” deleted from his world without a second thought.  That’s just how he treats people, I guess.  (God, I feel sorry for his fiancée.  I sure wouldn’t want to live with a cold soulless robot, regardless of how rich he is.  But to each his own.)

 

Thus, since we no longer liked each other, didn’t feel comfortable around each other (who wants to come home everyday to someone who makes you feel uncomfortable, whom you can’t even speak freely to without invoking his wrath?), nor had any use for each other, there was nothing to try to reconcile really, so we decided to part ways.  I moved out and found my own residence, where me and my girlfriend live now in our own peace and privacy.

 

After we parted ways, we got into online flame wars with each other.  He went to my online hate group (as I knew he would) to vent about me, nitpicking everything wrong that he imagined with me, even though I never did anything wrong to him.  I’m glad to get him out of my life now, as it’s all for the best.  Since we parted, he has only gotten worse and worse, continuing his hate rampage all the way back in Hawaii, which you will read about in the news updates later.

 

 

What you should know before you decide to work for or with Stefan Muth

 

If you are considering working for or with Stefan Muth, here are some things you should know and consider first:

 

-       Everyone that has worked for him in the past has parted with him on BAD TERMS.  No one has been exempt.  That is obviously a major RED FLAG.  And this includes very nice people as well.

-       Deep down, he hates people in general, and is a major pessimist and cynic.  Thus, he tries to validate this disposition of his by actively seeking out the worst in you, focusing on it, and attempting to bring it out, in order to confirm his worldview and justify his hatred of people.  Even if there’s nothing about you to dislike, he will find something.  It’s guaranteed.  Or he will make something up.  And once he does, there’s no arguing against him, cause he won’t listen, not even to reason. 

-       He sees something wrong in EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.  Even with the most flawless thing or person, he will ALWAYS find something wrong with it.  It’s just in his nature to do so.  You can tell him the most wonderful news and he will put a negative spin on it.  He is incapable of being positive, optimistic, or happy about anything.  Instead, he lives and thrives on bringing down other people and things.  In short, the “shit” in his head he projects out onto the external world.

-       He derives pleasure out of belittling, verbally abusing, and bullying others.  But of course, he will not accept any of the same in return.  And in fact, he proudly admitted to others that I was his “verbal punching bag” and even enjoyed throwing rocks and pebbles at me when I lived with him in Hawaii.

-       He also enjoys seeing other people suffer and feels pleasure when bad things happen to other people.  Very sick and twisted, to say the least.

-       When he asks you to do something for him, he often does not give clear or articulate directions.  Instead, he expects you to read his mind, and if you guess wrong, he chews you out for it with an intolerant hot temper, never being able to see himself at fault for his vagueness and lack of communication.  Needless to say, he has terrible communication skills.  Of course, this behavior is illogical, but then again, he is not a rational, sensible or balanced person anyway.

-       Though he is brilliant at computers and highly meticulous, he has no people skills whatsoever, obviously, yet he blames that all on others rather than on himself.

-       Though he says false things about others and makes many mistakes, he will never listen to any corrections on it.  And he will never apologize or admit his errors either.  In his mind, he is always right and he has a God complex.  That’s another thing that makes him so hard to get along with.  When he is wrong, you can’t tell him about it, so you either have to lie and agree with him, or tell the truth and incur his wrath.  That’s like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

-       He is a major control freak and anal retentive, even about miniscule and unimportant things that don’t matter one way or the other.

-       If he thinks you are useful to him or on good terms with him, he will be generous and giving to you.  But once he’s had enough of you, he sees fit to knowingly lie about you, break his promises to you, not pay what he owes you, etc.  That says a lot right there, cause a principled man would even treat his enemies fairly and justly.  But he doesn’t.

-       He has wacky beliefs that undermine his credibility, sanity and sense of reality.  Some examples:  He believes that all pharmaceutical medicine is bad for you, and thus never takes medicine nor allows his children to take them, including pain killers such as Tylenol.  He believes that a woman can only get pregnant from having sex, only ten days per month.  He believes that a man can’t win the heart of a woman without “buying her” through cash and expensive gifts.  But of course, you can’t show him that he’s wrong about all these warped beliefs, not even through compassion, cause in his mind, he can’t be wrong and he has some sort of a God complex.  Furthermore, he is not a logical, sensible or rational man anyway.

 

I personally testify that all these things are true and an accurate description of him.  With the above heeded, it’s your choice whether you want to work for or with such a man.  In case you think it’s a case of my word against his, you can verify my credibility here:  http://www.happierabroad.com/Verify_Me.htm.  And you can see the other testimonials about him in the insightful quotes section.

 

 

How he turns everyone who works for him into his enemy

 

This is the pattern he has followed with me, his last three workers, and everyone who has ever worked for him before us.

 

Basically, he hires people and makes big promises to them, sounding like a big Santa Claus, to lure them in.  Then gradually he looks for the worst in them, as he hates people in general deep down.  If he can’t find anything bad, he will make something up so he sees what he wants anyway.  Then he proceeds to verbally abuse them, belittle them, bully them, uses them as his punching bag for a while, and starts to despise them.  It’s a twisted drama he repeats with everyone.  Soon he launches his “Salem Witch Hunts”, accusing them of all sorts of weird things that don’t make sense, and are obviously mostly just shit in his own head.  Even if you do nothing wrong in a technical sense, or moral/ethical sense, he will still imagine faults where there are none.  And once he does, there’s no convincing him that he’s wrong.  Basically, the shit in his head he projects onto others.  The gremlin that he is thrives on hate, so he must hate to survive.  If there’s nothing to hate, he will find something.  It’s like he has a NEED to turn people into his enemies. 

 

For instance, one time I laid my head on my girlfriend’s lap in his living room, and he bitched at me about it later, saying that it was a very vile obscene thing to do in the living room, and told me that the whole world, including my girlfriend, now saw me as an indecent slob, simply for resting my head on my girlfriend’s lap.  There was no use convincing him that the world and my girlfriend did not share his twisted nutty view, for in his mind, he is never wrong and all the shit in his mind is really out there in objective reality, and not just in his head. 

 

So, inevitably over time, he adds up all the negatives about you in his head, even making up some of it, til he’s had enough of you.  Then he turns on you, declares you a worthless vermin, becomes your enemy, and breaks every promise he’s ever made to you.  At that point, he won’t even fly you home, even if he promised to before.  After you part with him, he will never have anything good to say about you ever again.  And you are left wondering what you ever did wrong.  But in truth, the sick fantasy is all in his head, but he’s too insane to realize that he’s the true source of the problem, not something out there.  This is guaranteed to happen to you even if you’re perfect, blameless and do nothing wrong. 

 

Thus, NO ONE, ever parts with him amicably.  EVER.  He makes sure of that. 

 

That is the prevailing and consistent pattern in his behavior toward others. 

 

 

A 40 year old man who throws rocks at his friends?!

 

What do you think of a 40 year old adult man who throws rocks at innocent people?  Well that’s what he did.  This Stefan dude threw rocks and pebbles at me while I was living with him in Hawaii, just for fun!  Now, what kind of a 40 year old adult throws rocks at innocent people?  Is that the behavior of a mature, mentally healthy, sane adult?  Obviously, any adult who does that has some serious screws loose, don't you think?!

 

 

List of Stefan's wrongs vs. my wrongs

 

As I mentioned before, I have never done anything wrong to this guy, nothing morally, ethically, or legally.  And he cannot even cite one legitimate thing I did wrong to justify his insane hatred.  That only shows that he is whacked, not me.  After all, who would hate someone and become an arch enemy to someone who never did any wrong to them?  Even in movies, people hate or become enemies for an understandable reason.  But in our case, there is none.  Thus, the technical wrongs I've committed against Stefan are:  ZERO

 

All he can cite are useless silly things such as me burning popcorn while cooking it in a pot, leaving condoms on the floor of my bedroom for people to slip on, etc.  Big fricking deal.

 

In fact, I did EVERYTHING he asked and took his abuse for a long time.  What more could I have done?!

 

But on the other hand, Stefan has clearly committed unethical acts against me, such as:

 

- Constantly verbally abusing and belittling me, calling me his "verbal punching bag", and admitting it proudly.

- Breaking his promise to give me certain work he promised upon arrival, for NO JUSTIFIABLE reason.

- Throwing rocks and pebbles at me for fun, something no mature sane adult does.

- Constantly bullying and threatening me with scare tactics, even after we've parted.

- Failing to pay up when he loses bets, and he's lost several.

- Failing to pay up debts he promised to pay.

- Knowingly Lying about me on his website about me www.winston-wu.com (e.g. that I was having sex with a bar girl the day my baby was born) and in email flame wars, making dozens of mistakes, lies, and false facts per email that it becomes tedious repeatedly correcting him.

- Stealing private photos from my email account by hacking into it, which I never sent out to anyone.

 

 

Seven primary unpleasant traits of Stefan Muth

 

Here are the 7 primary characteristics that Stefan Muth possesses to extreme degrees, which I’ve seen him exhibit time and time again.  He is a wealthy successful meticulous entrepreneur who is extremely negative, hateful, fault-finding, and revels in anti-popularity.  That makes him an interesting and unique blend of traits worth studying.  His self-description with his own photos are on one of his sites here:  www.theoneforyou.com/me

 

-  Extreme negativity:  He likes to see the worst in others and everything.  He is like George Bush in that when he tries to say something positive, he is stumped and tongue-tied and has little to say, but when he criticizes, he has a lot to say and looks very passionate in doing so.  In fact, during Christmas, when he had me get a birthday card for his fiancée, he couldn’t think of anything sweet or romantic to write in it, so he had me write a few paragraphs of sentimental stuff for him.  Oddly enough, though he can write long analytical and critical emails, he can’t think of anything to write in a birthday card to his fiancée.  He is also the type of person who always ASSUMES THE WORST about everyone and everything.  People who always assume the worst are usually right less than 10 percent of the time, so you’d think a person who prides himself on his “technical efficiency” would see the inaccuracy of his ways and change, but noooooooo…….. And usually, if you tell him some great news, he will make something negative about it, like it’s bullshit, and that the only true things are negative things.  What a total party pooper, the type of person that people booo in theatres and movies.  Since he loves to see the worst in everyone, and bring it out in them, it’s also no wonder that he fires over 90 percent of the people he’s hired to work at www.diagnose-me.com, spewing hateful venom at them behind their back once they leave.  He will even admit this and is proud of it.

 

-  Anal retentive/Control freak/Perfectionist:  He is probably the most anal retentive and biggest control freak I’ve ever met.  Hands down.  He nitpicks at very little things.  And he looks for every flaw and imperfection in everything and everyone, even if he only imagines them.  There is no pleasing him.  After all, how do you please someone who finds something wrong in everything?  Even one of his employees in Hawaii, a guy named Leo who is one of the most positive, nonjudgmental and easygoing guys I’ve ever met, looks annoyed, confused and vulnerable when talking to Stefan cause he knows very well that no matter how good a job he does or how positive he is, his boss will point out every imperfection that he sees and will seek the negative in everything.  And to magnify his anal retentiveness, he has a nasty temper that flares off at any imperfection he perceives and no tolerance for mistakes of any kind.  Thus, walking around him is not like walking on eggshells, but like walking in a God damn MINEFIELD! 

 

In fact, he’s such a control freak that he has no tolerance at all for any kind of risk, even if it’s so small and inconsequential that normal people wouldn’t care about it.  And even if the risk doesn’t exist and is only in his head.  If he perceives any kind of risk, he will expend a ton of resources and time to eliminate it.  That’s what makes him a bit scary and creepy too.  The ironic thing is that for a perfectionist, he sure makes a lot of mistakes himself.  Not only is he a SUPER control freak, but a psychopath with a God-complex as well.  He bullies others like a dictator, acting as though he is the ruler of the world.

 

-  Judgmental:  For someone who seems intelligent and a know-it-all, he is sure very judgmental about others, and likes to jump to conclusions quickly.  He claims that all my dates here dump me because I’m stingy.  Yet he rarely ever meets my dates, has no evidence that they’ve dumped me (but plenty of evidence to the contrary), and has no basis for claiming that they hate my stinginess.  In fact, he is the one who makes the biggest deal out of my alleged “stinginess”.  He is the one who goes on and on about it, not the girls.  The girls that like me might call me a “kuripot” sometimes when I try to spend wisely, but they don’t stop seeing me because of it, if they really like me that is.  Being frugal is in fact a good way to screen out the girls who only want to use you.  But the truth is, I’m not really stingy.  I just don’t like to waste money on unnecessary things since I’m on a budget.  That’s all.  Nothing wrong with that.  There is nothing wrong with spending wisely because you are on a budget.  Most people don’t have a problem with it and they understand.  But Stefan is obsessed with it, more than anyone else here.  Since he can afford to splurge a ton of money here, he uses it to belittle me since I can’t do the same.  What a bully!  For example, if I tell him that I bought a cell phone load for a girl I’m dating of 100 pesos (which is plenty since each text they send costs only 1 peso, and plus most girls here have only a 30 peso balance at any given time), he will belittle me by asking me what kind of a man I am, since he buys 500 pesos cell phone load cards for his girlfriend each time.  That is so immature and ego-tripping that I’m not even sure if he’s reached puberty yet!  Sheesh!

 

He is free to interview any of the girls I date, and if he does so, he will find that none of them will claim that they dumped me cause I’m stingy.  In fact, most of them will say that they don’t see me because I stopped calling them and stopped making myself available to them.  And to this day, he still can’t even name three girls who he thinks has “dumped” me.  If he tried to, I could easily text them and have them meet me again.  He knows it too.  Also, there are many girls here who still hang out with me, sometimes in groups, even after I’ve made it clear to them that I’m frugal, need to save money, and won’t let myself be hustled into wasting money.  They hang out with me even though they can’t use me to pay all the time, because I’m FUN and LIKABLE.  One of them even told me that she and her friends like hanging out with me, but not Stefan, after taking just one good looking at him and receiving his negative/critical stare.  He knows all this, yet persists in his delusion, like a madman.  Trying to reason with him is like trying to reason with a madman.

 

One reason that Stefan often errs in his judgments about others is that as a die-hard computer programmer, he assumes that he can understand, predict and calculate others the same way he can with computer programs.  In other words, people can be understood and controlled like computer programs can.  He puts them into his “pet formulas” so to speak.  And when people don’t work according to his programs and formulas, he starts looking for the program line or variable that “screwed it up”.  Well people don’t work that way.  You can’t calculate human behaviors or relationships.  But he thinks you can.  And I’ve noticed this from him time and time again.  Obviously, he is in his own world with very little experience in social skills and human relationships.  Of that, there can be no doubt.  He is right only in HIS own mind.

 

- Verbally Abusive/Name Calling:  Like an immature person, he constantly chews people out in nasty ways.  He loosely calls people “stupid”, “idiot”, “dummy” and even worse words, often in trivial situations or for reasons that don’t exist but which he fabricates in his twisted mind.  And he likes to belittle others for stupid reasons.  If he can’t find a reason to belittle you, he will make up one in his mind.  And once he does, he won’t listen to any attempt to explain to him that he’s wrong or in error.  Even those who try to please him are not exempt.  You could be Jesus Christ or Mother Theresa and he’d find a reason to convince himself that you’re despicable and a horrible thing he needs to get rid of, insulting you and belittling you in the process.  Even though I’ve NEVER done anything wrong to him, never broke any promises to him, never backstabbed him, was always on his side, etc. he constantly put me down, and said a lot of nasty words to me.  He even admitted that he relished using me as his “verbal punching bag”.  All this is strange behavior for a 40 year old man who considers himself stable and successful.  No one likes someone who is verbally abusive, and thus it’s no surprise he has no true friends and is unpleasant.

 

- Nasty short explosive temper:  He loses his temper and explodes in anger at trivial things, even at people who did nothing wrong, due to some imperfection that didn’t go his way exactly.  Most people get mad sometimes of course, but the key thing to remember is that he loses his cool for UNJUSTIFIED and UNWARRANTED reasons.  The examples of this are endless.  He does it to the point where it’s almost like a mental disorder.  Healthy, positive, happy, mature men don’t do that.  It’s a sign of social and mental dysfunctional to be always blowing your fuse at small things.  Hence again, it’s no wonder he has no good friends and no social people skills.  And it also makes being around him feel like walking on egg shells.  But couple his nasty temper with his anal retentiveness, and it makes being around him feel like walking on a God damn MINEFIELD.  The worst thing about it is that he NEVER apologizes afterwards when he calms down.  You see, someone with good people skills usually apologizes after they’ve lost their temper.  It’s the manly thing to do.  But he NEVER does, not even to his fiancée.  He is very comparable to Ross Perot, the 1992/1996 Presidential candidate – very successful at making money and understanding business, but has horrible people skills and a nasty bad temper.

 

- Has no true friends/Unable to be a true friend:  He has admitted that he only likes friends that are “useful”.  And incidentally, that’s why him and I are no longer friends, as I have outlived my “usefulness” to him, which he adamantly says.  (Well gee I’m soooooo sorry to have become a damper in his productivity lifestyle)  He is like the bad guys or criminals in TV shows and movies who dispose of their teammates as soon as they don’t need them anymore.  Hence he has no true friends and is unable to be a true friend to anyone.  Yet he acts like he’s an authority on love and relationships!  What a joke!  How can he be an authority on love/relationships when he can’t even be a true friend to anyone?!  That’s like Hitler pretending to be an authority on peace and harmony!

 

- Spends and splurges a lot of money:  The only trait he has that might be good, depending on how you look at it, is that he is very generous with his money and splurges a lot of it.  I’ve never seen anyone go through so much money so fast.  In short, he LOVES to pay for things and buy things for people (even for me).  But the question is, does that trait exonify all his negative qualities above?  Of course, it’s partly because he has a lot of money (2 to 3 million dollars in assets) and he believes that he can “buy” people, which is how he deals with human relationships.  He also has this belief and mentality that a man’s WORTH is determined by his money and how generous he is with it.  And that the measure of a man is how much he can splurge his money.  This is a belief and mentality that he SHARES with whores, scammers, hustlers, and gold diggers.  And one which he tries to reflect onto me.  It’s no wonder why he sees money as the deciding factor in MY relationships, when in fact, he sees it as the deciding factor in HIS.  In short, because he believes that he is worthless without his money and that it is his only quality, he believes the same about me.  Yet he is wrong and examples abound to show him that, but as he himself likes to say “You just don’t listen!”  This attitude of his toward money also leads him to think that he can “buy” people, just like he bought his current girlfriend and her family.  But more on that later.  He also has an unlikable habit of belittling others who aren’t as rich as he or aren’t workaholics like him. 

 

Concluding comments:

 

Now, you might think that my comments here about Stefan are a bit negative and critical too.  But look at it this way:  Since Stefan is EXTREMELY negative himself to the nth degree, seeing the worst in everything and everyone, and spinning every happy/positive story into a negative one, why not apply that mentality in evaluating him too, to deliver POETIC JUSTICE to him and giving him his rightful karma?  What’s wrong with giving him a taste of his own medicine?  After all, it’s in alignment with his own ways too.

 

You might think that I harbor an unhealthy grudge against a former friend that I should just forget about and move on.  Well that’s partially why, but there’s more to it than that.  You see, this guy is MAJORLY VERBALLY ABUSIVE, and a hugely narcissistic know-it-all with delusional beliefs like a madman.  Even when he says things that a mere simpleton would know is wrong, he firmly sticks to it and won’t listen to reason.  After all, madmen don’t listen to logic or reason, they believe what they want to believe and that’s it. (e.g. Hitler wouldn’t listen to the logic or reason of his generals in the latter stages of WWII when they kept trying to explain to him that his military tactics were badly flawed and doomed to fail) He also likes to belittle others who aren’t as wealthy as him or aren’t workaholics.  So why not belittle him?

 

Plus, he LOVES finding fault with others, to a passion.  So why not give him a dose of his own medicine so to speak, and find fault with HIM as well?  It would be his justly due karma after all.  And of course, he LOVES to hate others (including me) finding any reason to do so, even if it’s only in his mind.  In fact, his ego thrives on hate.  So why not hate him too?  It’s only fair (though not the most spiritual thing to do, I admit).

 

Basically, he’s the type of guy who if an audience watched in a movie, would boo and would clap when brought down, like the evil corporate executives in movies that everyone loves to be against.  He is in his own world, and revels in being “anti-popular”.  Plus, he hates the world and LOVES finding fault with others, to a passion.  So why not give him a dose of his own medicine so to speak, and find fault with HIM as well?  It’s his justly due karma after all.

 

Also, he has joined a hate group called WooWeasel (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wooweasel/) which derives entertainment at my expense, to do the same, so he asked for it.  You can see so for yourself by going their forum at the link above and read all his nasty vile hateful comments about me in his own words, to glimpse the real Stefan.  Just keyword his name or the email handle he uses for the hate group, g0vegan@yahoo.com to see his posts.  You will see that his hateful posts about me don’t contain anything substantive or legit, but mere dysfunction and a desire to hate for the sake of it.  Judge for yourself.  Remember that I NEVER asked him to be my enemy or did anything to incite it.  It was simply his choice to become my enemy, without ANY wrongdoing on my part.  He’s the backstabber who dealt the FIRST STRIKE, not me.  HE CHOSE to be my enemy!  Not me.

 

Anyone who has met me will tell you that I am very easygoing, soft, and pleasant to be around.  I have a list of positive comments from people who have met me too.  So, if someone hates me the way he does, that person must have a major personality problem.

 

 

Nine wacky beliefs that destroy his credibility

 

For a man who is a perfectionist and does not tolerate other people’s mistakes, Stefan has made some of the stupidest blunders himself that are worthy of a Darwin Award. Check out these wacky beliefs and insane statements that he’s made which undermine his credibility, sanity, and sense of reality. I promise that these are true. He won’t even deny it. The funny thing is that he’s uttered each of these with a righteous air of authority in his voice!

Here are some examples I recall:

1. Though he runs a medical self-diagnostic site (www.diagnose-me.com), he doesn’t believe in taking medicine when he gets sick. And won’t let his kids take medicine when they’re sick either! To him, all conventional medicine is “poison”! He has no credible scientific evidence to back up such a fanatical belief. It’s merely his belief.  But usually, even when he tries to provide reasons or explanations, they don’t make sense and sound incoherent.

So if I’m in pain from severe migraines, if I follow his beliefs, I’ll have to endure it, yelling in pain, simply because of a wacky belief.

This dude has no real ability to assess risk properly.

2. He’d rather die of hunger than eat any noodles or bread that have the slightest bit of egg or dairy in them. That’s how fanatical and religious he is about his veganism. Yet he claims that raw foodists have wacky beliefs and are wacky people. He’s one of those people who take the smallest isolated incident or factor, and bases entire beliefs and lifestyles around it, totally out of proportion. On such things he lacks the ability to reason with logic or common sense.

3. Now listen to this ridiculous statement uttered right from his mouth:

“I’ve done extensive research on fertility cycles. And what I’ve concluded is that a woman cannot get pregnant if you have sex with her during the 10 days after her menstruation period and the 10 days before it. Only during the middle 10 days can she become pregnant.”

Yet, ANY average Joe can Google the terms “fertility cycle” or “pregnancy cycle” to get a list of reputable credible sites on pregnancy, such as Planned Parenthood.  And NOT ONE of them will teach what he said. What they will tell you is that there is only ONE day each month that a woman can’t get pregnant on, but this day is difficult to calculate because it requires that extensive tests of her fertility and ovulation cycles be done. Thus, you would have to use some form of birth control to avoid getting pregnant. And this is nothing new either. I called Planned Parenthood back in 1994 when I was concerned about this issue, and they told me the exact same thing!

So how can someone who runs a business in the medical industry be THAT STUPID!?

No credible organization or expert on fertility says that a woman can’t get pregnant 20 days of the month!

4. Listen to this crazy one. A nut giving statistics about people who are “nuts”. Classic!

“Most schizophrenics are violent and dangerous. Look it up.”

Um excuse me Mr. Wacko! Anyone who’s taken a basic intro course in psychology knows that that’s not true, not only for schizophrenics, but mentally ill people in general. It’s a myth perpetuated by Hollywood.

And anyone who “looks it up” on any credible psychology website will find that schizophrenics are not violent or dangerous in general. They simply are on a “split from reality”, hallucinating all sorts of things living in their own nightmarish hell.

5. This statement which he’s uttered and lectured me with hundreds of times, is just as stupid:

“Winston, you can’t get a real girlfriend in the Philippines unless you spend freely and not be a tightwad with your money. After all, money is what separates you from the local boys. Without it, you’re no better than them.”

Not only have my real life dating experiences in the Philippines debunked that statement a gazillion times, but common sense itself tells you that he is wrong. The only girls you will impress with spending freely on money and gifts, are gold diggers and users. Yet he STILL has NOT recanted this silly statement. The man has serious social deficiencies, which is why he only knows how to control others with money.

Furthermore, most Filipino guys here have no trouble getting girlfriends, totally unlike all the dateless sexless guys in the US.

(Note: After I typed blunder #5, Dianne and her cousins looked at my computer screen and asked me who I was quoting. After I told them, they said “Well it’s wrong” and had a look on their face like it was the most ridiculous statement they ever heard.)

6. He also believes that the KEY to winning a girl’s heart is with money and presents! Many times, after I’ve had a great first date with someone, he would tell me that the next step is to bring her a lavish gift to show her that money is no object to me. That is how you SECURE her love, according to his book! Gee whiz! Even children know that that is NOT the way to do it. This guy has lower emotional intelligence than a child!

Nevertheless, several times he forced me to implement this theory. I’ll tell you what happened when I did.

One time after getting a cute girl’s phone number at the mall in SM Department Store, I went out with her and her roommate. Then we agreed to go out alone next time. The day before we did, Stefan told me to present to her a box of expensive chocolate from a mall kiosk. I told him it wasn’t necessary. But he said, “Come on!” and bought the box of expensive chocolates for me. I gave it to her at work that night, and she seemed flattered and impressed. The next day, she showed up 45 minutes late for our date, and then immediately took me to the Hypermart (an all purpose big store like Walmart) where she looked at new purses, picked one out, and then said, “You buy me this.” When I refused, she had a sour face the rest of the day, exiting early with her friend. So much for the expensive box of chocolates that Stefan wasted his money on.

Another time, I met this really hot girl on the street and took her bar hopping until late into the night. The next day, I showed her pictures to Stefan, and he said that she was hot enough to not make me wander, and so I’d better win her over. Since I had plans to see her again that day, he told me to impress her by getting her a 500 peso cell phone card, to show her that you can spend lavishly on her with no problem. I didn’t agree of course, but he suggested I text her and tell her that I have it for her as a test. I did exactly that, and told her I had a phone card for her and another gift (printed copies of her pictures). She didn’t seem to care. Instead, she stood me up and never showed up for our next appointment. Instead, she hung out with her cousin who was trying to apply at a bar, standing me up. Then she finally agreed to meet up with me late that night, but only hung around for 10 minutes. The next day, she texted me, asking for 5000 pesos (over a hundred dollars) so that her sister can apply to work in Dubai. In outrage, I asked her why I should give away so much money to help her sister, especially after she treated me like shit the other day. Why should I give a fuck whether her sister works in Dubai or not?! It has nothing to do with me. It was the stupidest request in the world. She replied that she was just asking, that’s all. As a test, I asked her if she’d be willing to have sex for the 5000 pesos, and she said no. She wasn’t willing to sell her body for the hundred dollar gift, she just wanted it with no strings attached. What a stupid moron.

Again, so much for the 500 peso phone card gift to impress her.

7. “Hitchhiking is dangerous and should never be advocated.”

Another dumb but understandable statement since many paranoid people share it. The thing is, he is NOT qualified to say that cause he’s never tried hitchhiking before, and most people who have will tell you it’s very safe contrary to the negative stigma attached to it in the US. Comparatively, it’s safer in Europe than the States.

In fact, Kinga (www.ledbydestiny.com, www.hitchhikingtheworld.com) did it for 5 years, starting with $600, traveling the world. The fact that she died of Malaria years later, had NOTHING to do with unsafe hitchhiking practices. However, negative twerps like Stefan ATTEMPT to discredit her with her death, which is very low and offensive to those of us whom she inspired. Just goes to show you what kind of person he is.

8. “You can’t make money in the stock market because the system is doomed to collapse.”

Yet another ridiculous statement that everyone knows is bogus. My parents and many others have made a lot of money from stocks and mutual funds. But anyway, gee what an optimistic statement. I'd love to have him for my stock broker!

This guy is clearly delusional. Normal people don’t make these kind of blunders. Only twisted mad men in their own world, who borderline belong in an insane asylum, make statements like these.

Clearly, people like this, when their insane thoughts are exposed, lose complete credibility to others, and are no longer taken seriously anymore.

9. “Women in England expect men to pay for them, just like Russian women.”

Sheer ignorance isn’t enough to excuse this one. This guy actually claims to have LIVED in England for a number of years! (Perhaps he never left his cottage or went out to meet people, just like his lifestyle in Hawaii) So he has no excuse not to have any experience with British people.

EVERYONE knows that British women are generally independent, reserved, generous, and happy to pay for themselves, usually insisting on paying for themselves. That’s been my experience, every Brit attests to it, and everyone who’s been there knows this. All except Stefan, the man in his own world as usual.

I was just talking about men and women HANGING OUT when this topic was brought up. But even in romantic dating situations, British women often offer to pay for themselves. They can afford it and are proud of their independence.

They are NOTHING at all like Russian women, who on the other hand, DEMAND that any man in their presence pay for them, even if he’s just a friend, acquaintance, or someone they don’t even like!

My blunder?

The only blunder of mine that Stefan can cite is that I often burn popcorn while cooking it in a pot. Big deal! That’s nowhere near the idiocracy and insanity of the 9 statements by him above.

But of course, he will NEVER admit that he’s wrong or recant any of the 9 blunders above. Just watch. Nor will he deny making these statements either, for he did.

 

 

Insightful quotes about Stefan Muth

 

The following are spot-on quotes I’ve collected from advisors and friends about the evil control freak and forest hermit Stefan Muth who created www.diagnose-me.com who hates everyone and is hated by everyone in turn.  Not even his Filipina fiancée Rosa, whom he bought from her family with a sh**load of money, truly loves him, as her feigned affections to him in person, which I’ve witnessed many times, are so fake that if they were shown on a movie screen, the audience would complain “She can’t act at all!”

 

First, one of my advisors, a no-nonsense realist who is an expert on people and bullshit detection, made the following observations and analyses about Stefan after seeing his emails and posts.  He texted me these as answers to my questions by phone.

 

-          “He is a control freak.”

 

-          “I told ya I had a bad feeling about him the first time you described him (long ago).”

 

-          “Yeah I saw his photos that you sent out.  From his face, I could see that there was something not right about him.”

 

-          “His ego has been damaged and he has low emotional intelligence.”

 

-          “He uses people for his own benefit. When he is done with them he throws them away.”

 

-          “I find it fascinating that people waste their time writing crap about others. They should be worried about their own lives. Just shows you that they don’t have much of a life I guess.”

 

-          “Yeah I read it, he is just a control bully trying to manipulate you through passive-aggressive tactics.”

 

-          “He hates you and is a bully. Both. He has serious character flaw issues, that’s why he is a hermit and anti-social.”

 

Next, one of my friends from the list who came and visited the Philippines, had this to say about him after hearing my story:

 

“I knew a guy like him once.  He made $15,000 a month in his business, but was a real control freak with no people skills.  People only tolerated him because he was paying them.  He was nice to you if he found you useful in a business sense, but as soon as you weren’t, he wanted nothing to do with you.  I eventually couldn’t tolerate him and had enough.”

 

Also, he and another guy who later came to visit both said independently of each other,

 

“The only way a guy with that kind of personality can get people to tolerate him is by PAYING them.”

 

And another friend visiting from New York, a cosmopolitan man with worldly street smarts, commented regarding people like Stefan,

 

“Some people are brilliant in one area of life but really stupid in another.  For example, they might be really good at computer programming, but have horrible people skills.”

 

On my forum, which Stefan made a nasty twisted vindictive appearance at, showing his dickhead attitude, a poster commented:

 

http://www.happierabroad.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=91

“As for Stefan, he totally turned me off. I don't like Stefan at all.”

 

And one of Stefan’s own workers sent me this letter that supports and confirms all that I’ve concluded about him, especially about him being an unstable psychopath/sociopath. 

 

“Hey Winston, this is <name snipped>, remember me from up at Gov before you and Stefan left for the Philippines?  We have not talked since you left, but you would likely be very interested to know some of the things that have happened between me and Stefan and some other workers.  If anything so that you know just how off-the-rocker he is.  He essentially stole 10,000 from me, in the form of wages promised but never paid (this is heavily documented)  needless to say I am no longer working for him, and a new worker Mikey and him are possibly embroiled in a legal battle over trivial circumstances.  My honest opinion is that he is unstable and possibly not even safe to be around, let alone do business with, I curse my poor judgement in ever trusting him.

Hope all is well with you!”

 

He later added:

 

“He is the most vile and disgusting human i have ever met.”

 

Finally, my close friend Elizabeth had this to say about Stefan:

 

“He may achieve everything under the sun, but he will forever be too miserable to enjoy it.”

 

Now, this is a guy I’ve met who is the type that everyone likes to have for a buddy, always friendly, polite, honest, low key, nonconfrontational, and normally never says anything bad about others.  That should tell you a lot. 

 

And the last line doesn’t surprise me at all.  Stefan definitely gives off an unpleasant vibe that feels like he is trying to drag you down into his cynicism and pure negativity about everything.  To people like him, every glass is “half empty”.  He is everything that is the opposite of “feel good”.

 

What is most telling is that EVERYONE that has worked for Stefan, not just me and the guy above, has ended up parting with him under LESS than amicable terms.  NO ONE has been exempt.  That should tell you a lot as well.  If that doesn’t spell “multiple red flags and bad signs” then I don’t know what does.

 

 

The inside story on how Stefan “bought” his Filipina fiancée

 

Now, let me give you the inside story about how Stefan “bought” his alleged “successful relationship” with his fiancée Rosa.

 

He met Rosa on a webcam chat site (the kind where you pay to watch them strip).  When we arrived on November 19, she wouldn’t even talk to him during the first 4-5 days.  She didn’t even want to look at him or acknowledge his existence.  Instead, she often looked away from him and had an unhappy look on her face.  In fact, she even talked to me a lot more than to him.  I served as an amusing distraction for her, as I joked around with her and was playful, which almost all Filipinas like as it tickles their funny bone.

 

During that time, we all hung out as a group with her sister and roommate.  Stefan’s girl was interacting and talking to all of us except him.  She acted like he wasn’t even there.  I felt sorry for him.  Rosa’s sister tried to cover for her (as all sisters do) by claiming that she was simply shy and needed time to get to know him.  Yeah right.  Shy my ass.  A shy girl who likes a guy doesn’t look away from him all the time with an unhappy face.  Instead, she looks happy and radiant around him, even if she doesn’t say much.

 

One night, Rosa made herself stay in his hotel room, but rather than make love, she went to sleep and ignored him, giving him the silent treatment.  The next night was even worse.  After we all went out for dinner, she told Stefan at the door to his hotel room that she would join him shortly after chatting with her sister and roommate.  But alas, she never came back that night!  He was really ticked about it the next day.  A major red flag of disinterest indeed!  (or else she was shy and afraid to be alone with him yet)

 

At that point, it looked for all the world that his intended love affair was doomed and would end soon.  All the bad signs were there.  It just wasn’t gonna work out, so to speak.  So, Stefan had me deliver an ultimatum to them – Either she get her act together and start treating him better, or else he was gonna cancel all their plans as well as his financial support.  It was awkward for me having to deliver a serious confrontational ultimatum to 3 cheerful nice girls.  Even a blunt and brutally honest person like me hesitated on it, but I did it anyway, since Stefan was my financer and benefactor. 

 

After the ultimatum, things started turning around.  Rosa became more affectionate toward him, and one night they finally did it in bed.  Ever since then, they’ve lived in the same room in the apartment I shared with them.  They have sex regularly, and she shows affection and devotion to him daily.

 

Now, GET THIS!  Here’s the clincher, or the “AH HA!” 

 

During those first 4-5 days, Stefan rented a new apartment for the three girls, bought them a brand new desktop computer (their old one broke), threw hundreds of dollars at them and her family, etc.  And on Rosa’s birthday, he gave her family 10,000 pesos ($200) to throw a big party for her 18th birthday, where he presented her with the biggest present she ever received – a $300 digital camera he bought in the states.  In addition, he bought her a new cell phone too.  And prior to all this and our arrival, he sent her hundreds of dollars by Western Union to support her and help pay her rent.

 

And that’s not the end of it, get this:  For Rosa’s twin sister’s birthday (which is on the same day as her’s), Stefan took them all to the mall on a shopping spree where they were allowed to buy whatever Rosa’s sister needed for her and her two babies.  And they bought A LOT!  I was expecting them to be humble and modest and only choose a few things, like most girls I know would.  But I couldn’t be more wrong.  They stacked the shopping cart to overflowing with clothes, to the extent that we needed two shopping carts.  The total price must have been $200 at least.  But he was glad to do that for his girlfriend’s sister.  What a guy, huh?!  Or what a fool?  I’m sure they must have loved it, but from an outsider’s viewpoint, should he have sacrificed his dignity and self-respect like that (if he had any)?  I don’t know.  One could argue that since he was rich, he could afford it.  But even if I had his millions, I’m not sure I would have done that.  But then again, I’ve never been that rich, so I can’t really say (as lottery winners tend to recklessly over-splurge a lot too).  It just seemed like a desperate plea-begging attempt to secure the love of her and her family.

 

Now, if all this isn’t “buying her love”, then I don’t know what is!

 

Whatever the case, I’m sure that Rosa’s family must have been more than appreciative of all this.  They were probably awestruck at how he was able to spend so much so freely, going overboard oftentimes.  They, on the other hand, lived in a cement shack with a tin roof, with walls that were so loose and cheap that they would wiggle when I punched them for fun.

 

So, with all the facts and events above, can you put 2 and 2 together?  Can you see the obvious?  Is it all easy to piece together? 

 

A likely scenario?

 

I could be wrong, but a likely scenario is this:

 

Rosa didn’t like Stefan when she met him in person.  She probably found his sincerity online to be refreshing compared to all the other vulgar obscene guys on those webcam sites.  And she appreciated the money he was sending her in ADVANCE (a big no no as we all know).  So she thought she could get to like him when he arrived. 

 

(Suffice to say, a pattern I’ve noticed with Stefan is that Filipinas tend to like his pictures online and his appearance in web cam.  But in person, they get turned off or creeped out/uncomfortable by him, because he projects a VERY strong negative, anal retentive, hateful, dysfunctional, intolerant, “I am in my own world and I hate everything outside of it” type of VIBE, as I described in the post with his primary traits.  Thus, it wouldn’t surprise me if Rosa liked him online but changed her mind when she experienced his vibe and aura in person.) 

 

When he arrived, she realized that she didn’t like him after all, and probably felt uncomfortable around him, as he is an awkward person with no social skills coupled with an extreme negative/anal retentive vibe, and a very nerdy/geeky face.  So, she gave him the silent treatment, looking unhappy in the process, subconsciously hoping that it would botch everything without her having to confront him about her true feelings.

 

But, as described above, after all the shitload of money that he spent and all the fancy things he bought for her and her family, it is probable that at some point during all this, Rosa’s sisters and parents gave her the following pep talk:

 

“What are you doing Rosa!?  This guy is giving us all so much in terms of money, gifts, and financial support.  It is more than we could ever have dreamed!  This guy is rich and generous.  He is the KEY to our whole family’s prosperity and well-being!  He is the one who can alleviate our extreme poverty!  He is our savior!  We NEED him!  Make this relationship work!  Do it for all of us!  We are all depending on it for our livelihood!”

 

So, since Filipinas have very little individuality and their whole life is about helping their family rather than themselves, Rosa FORCED herself to make the relationship work.  With all her will and sense of duty to her family, she made herself like him somehow.  And thus she began treating him with affection and like a real boyfriend.  To this day, she has probably convinced even herself that she really loves him to death.  And to outsiders, and even to me, it sure looks like she does love him and is fully devoted to him.  When I look at them, even I am convinced that she truly loves him now.

 

To this day, Stefan gives Rosa and her two sisters (who both live with them) $100 each, every week.  That’s $300 a week that he gives them in cash.  (And when I lived with them, he was giving me $100 a week too, which I appreciated)  Out of that money, the girls give a portion to their family and keep a portion to themselves.  I have no idea what they do with the rest of that money though, as it seems to disappear somehow (they are all still very frugal and act as though they are broke), but no one talks about it and it’s not even discussed.  But what’s odd is that they are all getting $1200 a month from him total, and that’s way more than their family needs (most foreign boyfriends here give their girlfriend’s family between $100 and $200 a month, which is enough to satisfy them), so it’s a mystery as to where all that excess money (a fortune to a Filipino family) goes exactly.  About once a week, Rosa’s parents come over to collect money from them, to collect “the weekly dues” so to speak.

 

Not surprisingly though, Rosa’s two sisters hardly ever talk to Stefan, unless they need to.  They mostly just stay in their room all day chatting on the internet, occasionally going out to visit their parents.  Generally, they don’t socialize with him, don’t go out with him, don’t party with him, and don’t have any meaningful conversations with him.  They are like roommate acquaintances to him, around just for the convenience.

 

And that folks, is their “perfect little arrangement”.  What a nice fairy tale happily ever after ending huh? (sarcastic)

 

So the question is:  Did Stefan “buy” Rosa’s love and her family’s approval?  Or did she love him from the start and was merely “shy” the first 4-5 days?  Circumstantially, it looks at first glance like the former is more likely to be true.  But we can never really know for sure, because we can’t go back in time to test what would have happened if Stefan hadn’t splurged all that money and gifts upon Rosa and her family.  So we can never prove the true basis of Rosa’s love for him.  But the thing is, Stefan doesn’t really care, because for to him “love = money”.  And he also believes that the measure of a man is his ability to splurge.  Thus to “buy love” is in alignment with his “scientific model” and formula of how life and relationships work.

 

An expat guy here who’s lived here for many years and has had the same girlfriend for 6 years, whom I told all this to, said that Stefan’s scenario will continue to work as long as he is shelling out the money.  And that a Filipina whose boyfriend is financially supporting her family, cannot break up with her boyfriend without the family’s permission.  So, as long as her family gets the money, they will need him, and she will stay with him.

 

Now, I don’t know about you, but that’s not the kind of relationship that I would want.  It feels like a lie, and I don’t like feeling like a “Santa Claus” of any sort, unless it’s to my children, but definitely not to a whole unrelated family that wants to leech off me.

 

Personally though, I’m not sure how long such a relationship can last, as eventually her true feelings toward him will surface, even if she has little or no individuality.  But it’s gone on for 5 months now.

 

PS - There is bad news for him though. When I moved out, Rachel (Rosa's sister) told him that she didn't want to hug me goodbye cause I stank, but the truth is that she gave me two warm hugs goodbye. What this means is that these girls are willing to LIE to him and say what he wants hear to keep his money coming in.  Seems like a red flag.

 

PS 2 – Sadly for him, even though he spent a sh**load of money on Rosa’s 18th birthday, and gives her $100 a week at least in allowance, when Stefan’s birthday came in late February, she didn’t do sh** for him.  All she did was give him a card and cheap T-shirt!  Gee wiz!  A card and T-shirt?  That’s something that a casual friend or acquaintance does for you on your birthday, not a lover!  In fact, I even did more for him on his birthday that she did.  I treated him to a Chinese restaurant, bought him a big stand up high quality fan, a card, and was going to get a birthday cake for him but couldn’t find one that was purely vegan.  You would think that Rosa would at least have done all that.  But she didn’t.  And money was no excuse, as he gives her $100 a week, which is a fortune in the Philippines and a higher salary than a computer programmer makes there.  She could have easily bought him a big present with some of that, and took him to a nice restaurant and did something “romantic”.  But I guess she doesn’t think like that.  Incidentally, a lot of American expats here have claimed that no matter how much money they give their Filipina partners and their family, they are never really appreciative of it, because in their minds, “he OWES them”.  Well that’s just sad and unfortunate. 

 

Now, contrast his relationship with mine:

 

When I first went out with Dianne, she wasn’t shy toward me and didn’t ignore me, but looked happy with me, enjoyed herself, was very accommodating and even called me her “Prince”.  I NEVER gave her any money or bought her any gifts to get her affection or love.  I only paid for dinners, drinks and transportation costs.  Soon, she gave me lots of love, affection, sensuality, passion, time and devotion.  I never had to “buy” any of it or do anything to “win” her over.

 

Even to this day, I don’t give her money, and when I try to, she always refuses it.  I did give her family 3000 pesos ($60) one time to make up for her lost wages from being with me so much, but that was LONG AFTER she gave me her love, started living with me, and we were having sex regularly.

 

Her family hasn’t tried to leech off me or asked me for regular financial support yet, but even if they do, I know that she won’t let them and will defend me.  Contrary to many girls here, she doesn’t like to mix love and money, and doesn’t like to make money a condition of love.  She knows that money corrupts love and isn’t comfortable with such exploitative and mercantile arrangements.   

 

Just to give you some examples:  When my parents visited, my mom took out $100 to give to Dianne as a gift, but Dianne refused it, even after my mom kept trying to make her take it.  Another time, when I was buying a two piece swimsuit for her, we found a nice one in her favorite colors for 800 pesos.  Later on, she found another cute one for 299 pesos and told me to put the other one back, as this one was cheaper and just as nice to her.

 

Now, which relationship do you think is more GENUINE and PURER?  Mine or Stefan’s?

 

PS – Laughably, this wacko likes to compare himself to James Bond too, which he did when I knew him.  Sure he may be able to spend lavishly like James Bond does, but excuse me Mr. Nutcase …….

 

1.  James Bond doesn’t have an innate hatred for everyone and everything in the universe.

 

2.  James Bond doesn’t verbally abuse and bully innocent people and turn them into enemies.

 

3.  James Bond dates tall skinny women, not small mediocre young girls that look like children. Unlike you, he has no pedophilic taste in females!

 

4.  James Bond does not have a zero tolerance for risk and danger like you do, you coward!

 

5.  James Bond faces his enemies, and doesn’t run away or give them the silent treatment like you do.

 

6.  James Bond goes out and gets involved in the action, he doesn’t stay in a shack in the forest all day and night like a hermit like you do!

 

 

How I had to use law enforcement to stop serious threats from Stefan

 

From an update to my mailing list describing what happened:

 

Update: Government officer resolves threat from Stefan! (Did I do the right thing?)

Hi all,
Well it looks like my problem with Stefan has finally been resolved the other day.  Let me explain.

You see, even though I signed a No Contact Agreement at the police station, which offered some protection for me, Stefan never signed it and never rescinded his big threat and promise to me that if I didn't leave the country by June 21st, he would have me arrested, deported, and make my life a living hell that I'd regret forever.  It was a big and serious ultimatum that he issued last week.  And I didn't want to take any chances, since I have a life here, wonderful woman, and coming child and all.

So, with June 21st approaching, I simply couldn't take the risk of waiting around and seeing what he would do or if and how he would carry out his threat and ultimatum.  Although everyone, from long-time expats to lawyers and business people here, told me that he could not legally arrest and deport me over threats to him by email (in self-defense that is), I still had no idea what he could do with all his money, and his alleged "contacts in high offices".  For all I know, he could be planning to bribe high officials or policemen to have me arrested, since it would be the only way he could carry out his threat to me, as he could do nothing to me legally.  It was a logical assumption.  And I didn't like doing nothing and feeling like a sitting duck.  Thus I thought it wise to DO something, find some help and protection to make sure he couldn't carry out his ultimatum.

So, while I was at a barbecue with some European friends, I told them about my problem and the serious ultimatum imposed upon me by a fellow American that I used to be friends with, to arrest and deport me by June 21st.  At first, they told me that bluffing and power/ego trips were common among men in a dispute, and that's probably all it was.  But an Austrian friend and German guy told me that they knew someone powerful and trustworthy who could help, who had helped them with unjust threats in the past.  His name was Master Galo, the brother of the "Barangay Captain".  The "Barangay" are a group of people who make laws and settle things in court, sort of like a legislature and judicial body in one.  Every district has a Barangay body.  The captain of the Barangay is sort of like the mayor of the district, and holds high executive power almost equal to that of the city mayor. (Incidentally, here in the Philippines, a mayor has a lot more power than a mayor in America)  The captain has an authority higher than even the police chief, and is called "the boss" by the police chief as well.  

Now, since Master Galo is very close to his brother, like twins, anything he says and does goes as if it were coming from the Barangay captain himself.  But this was a man of justice and wisdom, who could not be bribed or corrupted, so the good had nothing to fear from him, only the evil did.  As a master in martial arts, he has high discipline and strength of character.  He trains policemen at the academy and also teaches self-defense to kids.  And he is so strong that he can do push-ups with just one index finger (which I witnessed when I met him) as well as a few other amazing feats.  Also, he knows one of Bruce Lee's teachers, a Filipino master who is still alive (but obviously must be very old by now).  In addition, he gets flown around the world to teach martial arts in different countries.  So not only is he a high ranking official, but a highly respected one as well, for his integrity, honor, and character.  What I was told was that if you are in the "right", he is the best help and protector that you can have here, but if you are in the "wrong", he is the worst person you can have against you here.  

Perfect, I thought.  He would be the one to finally r
