If she came from a different background, would that change things? Not necessarily, but she is the kind of girl I will end up sponsoring (not that it will be a problem, if I can see her growing into a great professional) and whose family I'll have to pull out of poverty (she already enumerated a lo...

No need to apologize! I took no offense at anything you said. :-) I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I don't think flashing money around or showing that you have some money will make you more attractive to pretty women. In fact that might attract the wrong kind of materialistic woman. I didn...

One thing I have been wondering, with reference to your story. All these success stories - Pete, Outwest, Dave, yourself - all have one element in common: the couple spent some time in the Philippines and the headed back abroad, to the men's host country or other first-world, or relatively more dev...

Publicduende, You're right, I have been lucky but I think that's only part of the story. I think karma plays a big role in what happens in your life, good or bad. I've tried to be a good person, a good father and treat others the way I'd like to be treated. This philosophy has served me well. I don'...

Publicduende, I wouldn't give up so quickly on the Philippines yet. There are 80 provinces with millions of single women so there are many more areas to explore. Maybe a change in strategy might be better. I would suggest that you pursue women in the teaching community, especially those who major in...

Congratulations Falcon!!! I'm happy for you as I know you've been searching for answers for awhile now. Amazing how when you stop looking, happiness finds you. Forget about everyone who criticizes your choice. For a young man, I find that you're more mature and wiser than many posters here who are o...

As I totally expected, when confronted with the harsh reality of your own words and how people might be judging you from what you post on your forum, you reacted predictably by cursing me and using profanity. The truth hurts, doesn't it self-proclaimed truth seeker??? No big deal because that's what...

Winston, how dense and obtuse are you??? In your replies on this thread, you demonstrated exactly why Marcos doesn't want to meet you first, in person in his home community. He offered to meet you and Rock in person possibly in the future in a neutral location like Manila if circumstances permitted....

'His family described him as alone, no partner/lover. A victim not only of his own perception but also of our social media soaked enviroment. He posted the footage on facebook and twitter as well tweeting while he was running from the cops because he wanted the world to see his actions, much like m...

Yohan, are you STUPID or something? Why would I need to move on from China? I have a new girlfriend in Shenzhen now, remember? Plus on dating sites, I get a HIGH response rate from Chinese women, so my potential here is still VERY GOOD. So why are you implying that I ought to try other countries fo...

Well Marcos, You are an exception then. But that's not what 90+ percent of expats in the Philippines experience, including the other guys in the forum. I am skeptical of your claims about your wife and her family. Can we see photos of them or some evidence? You could be making all this up and we'd ...

So do Chinese. I don't know where some people get the idea that only Filipinos do that. I know Chinese guys in their 30's who won't get married yet because they know they must support their own parents and the wife's parents. I have a friend whose wife has a great job in the video game industry and...

How do I know this? From my own personal experiences. I am a Chinese American and I was married for years to a Chinese woman before and the best thing that I got out of the marriage were my two boys. But I believe that because my good karma outweighed my bad karma, I was able to find love again and...

What's even more puzzling is to be so selfish solely in order to jump back into the repressive culture that you fought so hard to escape from. Ultimately most Chinese women will want you to be a boring conformist chump who isn't even allowed to think outside the box, while Filipinas tend to be much...

Hi all, I'm in Macau now at the venetian hotel. I was at the galaxy hotel earlier. There was an impressive show of lights and crystals there. The venetian hotel here is just like the one in Las Vegas. It wasn't worth coming to. But the classical music is nice to listen to. I'm flying to Taiwan from...
