I prefer the former rather than the latter! :D However whichever way you look at it.....we end up paying
I think this is one of our most interesting threads and some very interesting comments and I hope we can get more input and hear more experiences. In some of our earlier years, like before the first marriage, the mindset was: First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage However, for most guys coming here (no pun intended), the majority are merely looking for a low stress, low cost of living, find a cute gf, and enjoy life. But the other side of the coin is the gf has different wants and needs and feels a responsibility to somehow care for her family. If that means finding a foreigner bf to accomplish her mission, then some will do whatever it takes including multiple bf's, if necessary. Many foreigners have no desire or intentions to provide extended support. So the gf feels pressure from the family and it becomes difficult to maintain a stable relationship. The problem is long before most of us arrived here, those expectations almost became a standard. So my advice is for a guy to be aware of what he is walking into and try and agree on some ground rules so when the aunt gets sick or i got to pay mama's PhilHealth, the bf or husband may be looked at for help. Be aware if you totally refuse to recognize that sort of responsibility, the guy sitting next to you in the bar may be willing. Oz-Roger made a good point about a guy enjoying his bliss with a smile on his face when he dies. If that works for you, how much does it matter if the girl truly loves you or staying with you for money? Did your fat @ss ex western wife really love you after all those wasted years? For many of us, this here may be the final chapter of our life story. Hoping for a happy ending for all.
After reading this topic , with great interest ,since we al know the gf stories ,[or experianced them personaly] i know one thing for sure no matter how or what U ALWAYS PAY UP IN HERE, some more than others, since most of the woman [ gf or wife ] not even work , or have a decent income but thats the choise we guys make right those only seek holiday gf pay for the company they get , while the retired or long term guys , pay for u wife ,gf in here but its funny how naive some gys are thinking she's the real deal cuz if ur cash run out , ur gf too, unless u we look like bratt pit hehe i got few gf around , and talk alot about this with them given chance in a better world where they got decent jobs incomes they rather have a [pinoy ] bf or husband of there own age. and this is normal ,would u walk around with a wife twice ur age?? anyway ,its ok as long u keep both feet on the ground
AS the great romantic philosopher, Charlie Sheen once said: “I don't pay them for sex. I pay them to leave. ..." sometime I think an little extra tip for them to forget your face and name is helpful too obviously Charlie did not believe in the extra tip because many times they recognized his face in the courtroom. and remember his name on lawsuits.... lol
I have noted a large number of very experienced lovers seem to be members of this Forum - AWESOME - :D - hopefully all their partners are women...............:p
I think so.... there are very few sheep in the Philippines, like in the mother countries of some of the Expats here.
