It took me 20 years to figure it out but basically, the Catholicism is a facade and more like a surface plaque than the essence. Scratch it and you see the same shameless lying you see in India. And that is what the Philippines and Indonesia were, and are- the Indies. Indian islands.Johnny1975 wrote:
I find it hard to square the lying with the catholic upbringing. The two don't go together. If they are generally liars, then that's a really big deal to me.

Oh shit. You see that's why I never bought into the idea that you have to go abroad. There are rotten people everywhere, and sometimes it's cultural. It's definitely true that there's something wrong, in a very big way, with some aspects of the western mindset, but rather than just saying go to another country and everything will be alright, the emphasis should be on having standards of what you will and won't accept, learning to spot the signs, and going to the right places to find the right females, and although going abroad can probably solve a lot of problems, it doesn't automatically solve them all.ladislav wrote:Johnny1975 wrote:It took me 20 years to figure it out but basically, the Catholicism is a facade and more like a surface plaque than the essence.

They are Hindu Malays which are Catholic on surface but do not act Catholic at all. Once you realize that you are basically in a shaky, shifty India-based culture with a Catholic disguise, everything will fall into place.
No offence meant to honest and responsible Indian people but daily lying is much more acceptable there than in the West. You do get a smattering of guilt in the Philippines because some Catholicism did seep through, but that's about all. Not keeping your word/promise, slandering you behind your back, making up stories and multiple daily lying is commonplace. The same thing goes about not giving you change, cheating you or suddenly reneging on your word and in business transactions and not paying debts. Then running away. Sounds like something that is very much like corrupt classes of India.
Being an honest and upright person in the Philippines (as well as in Thailand and India) is not easy as many will just take advantage of you. Have seen it happen to very honest and decent provincial Filipinos when they ended up in big cities. Cheated, lied to, money which they loaned not paid back and shameless slander spread about them with no reason whatsoever.
It seems that DateinAsia has a lot of stuff for good and simple Filipinas, don't you think?lavezzi wrote:my conclusion was that a relatively significant portion of filipinas on dia are 100% legit, as odd as that may seem. still a minority, but enough of a minority to easily be able to find a nice one. these girls crave attention. all females do, the difference is the women we're used to in the west are swamped with attention so we never get to see the craving aspect, when we see it in filipinas we assume there must definitely be an alterior motive.
It depends on the girls situation. Does she have her own computer or daily access to a computer or a smart phone? If so then you should hear from her regularly, depending on work or school schedule. If she goes to an Internet cafe a few times a week or you know that she runs out of load a lot then maybe it'll take longer.mentor wrote:Practical questions:
How many days would you wait for a filipina to respond to your electronic message?
When would you 'drop' the interest to her?
How many can you handle simultaneously, by electronic communication?

Welcome to the Hotel California. You are now one of us. Hopelessly devoted.
I am wondering what I should do with this 'wait'.davewe wrote: The real question is why wait at all? Unless you are in a relationship (in which case you can call her) you are probably juggling plenty of girls online - or at least you should be.
I assume you're only chatting with single girls- so be aware that young single people tend to live with their parents; when they don't, they usually lived in shared apartments or boarding houses. Many of these are specifically for men or women only- my girlfriend currently lives in such a boarding house. I suspect it has to do with both security, and also things like fewer sets of shared bathrooms. What this girl told is totally normal for the Philippines.mentor wrote:I hope to get an answer from somebody, and avoid opening a new topic.
I spoke with a nice filipina girl, and she told me that she lives in an appartment only for girls!
When I asked her to clarify me what is this, she told me that there are houses for rent, that is strictly allowed for girls only.
Can somebody further explain me what is it, because I don't have such representations?
She is an orphan, but this happened (hopefully) happened when she was already adult.Balmung wrote: I assume you're only chatting with single girls- so be aware that young single people tend to live with their parents; when they don't, they usually lived in shared apartments or boarding houses.

Nice observations.Johnny1975 wrote:Over the last few weeks I've become really intrigued by filipinas. I often chat with filipinas on a dating site just to experience their refreshing attitude even though meeting them isn't an option. Sometimes I like to ask them what a day with them would be like, and I like to ask them what they'd do for me, just to see what they say. Just today I was actually getting really aroused when one said that she'd happily make me tea whenever I ask (after I asked her if she would) and that that's easy (i.e. hardly a challenge / big deal) and that she'd love to serve me. When I asked her if while we watch tv she'd sit on the floor (as in let me lie on the sofa) in just her underwear she said sure, no problem. When I asked her if she'd kiss me any time I ask she said she'd do it whether I ask or not, and whether I like it or not and I'm getting a hardon typing this.
But I've noticed a few things :
* I don't feel like I could be even slightly sexually suggestive with them. I like a bit of cheek but I don't think it would go down well. They seem to lovey dovey (not that there's anything wrong with that but it's a bit too much). One stopped chatting with me simply because I asked if she's a good kisser.
* They strike me as very naive / too trusting.
* They don't seem to be very intellectual. Or maybe they are but they choose not to show it. Maybe it's not that important to them, I don't know, but it's definitely important to me.
If the above things weren't an issue, they'd be perfect. But it's a problem. Basically they're like pussycats. They're so lovely but certain things are a bit lacking.
Discuss.
