Filipino - Foreigner Marriage Statistics

Maybe, but a very inspiring story none the less... You are one of the very lucky ones who have managed to grow stronger and independent to rise above the obstacles placed before you in life instead of succumbing to them.
*EDIT: I have read many MANY TIMES where Japanese men are very closed to showing their true/open feelings towards their spouses, a part of the culture there it seems...

I know some do because they have no choice, I know a guy back in Oz who owned 5 Bars during the Marcos era and he has told me stories of young girls being bought in by their mothers who basically sold them to earn money for the family back home, heart breaking stories, but as he told me that is just how it is here. But given the first chance, most of the girls forced into the Bars will escape and make good of their lives, I know a guy back in Oz who married a Thai girl who did just that and is now happily married with children and a new life.

Others do because it is easy money, as simple as that and will continue to use and climb their way up, but many will never give up that ability to easy money, I know several back in Oz who do just that regardless of their aging, they still manage to find the customers to support their way of life, that type will never change.

When I first began looking for a Filipina to talk to I was sent by a friend to a Free Cam Site where there were literally thousands of Filipina, but watching them talk and interact between the guys online, I quickly decided I did not want to make the same mistake again and went elsewhere on the web to find a nice girl from the province, thankfully, it eventually paid off for me.

 

Which reminds me of times when I was told by one of my siblings: Why is so and so sending money this much and you can't!? To this I replied: I only have one guy to extract money from. Yep, I know some even in their 50s who didn't leave that line of work and really earning a lot.

 

It amazes me here how many look down on their family members who are forced to do this yet do not do anything themselves to try and help and HAPPILY-GREEDILY take every pesos thrown their way! My ex here sent 3/4 of the money I sent to her for College Courses, food, rent etc back to her family and I wondered why she was skin and bone! When I caught on and cut down how much I was sending, because I did not like to support around 8 other family members who were too lazy to work for money, they came online to abuse me threatening me etc... Okay to support someone who cannot support themselves and to give them a helping hand, but when others are able bodied and can work to help but choose not to do so, then my opinion is they can go to hell if they are only good at criticising and holding out their hand like a beggar!
