Re: Me and My Family
I'm walking down the mall minding my own business...when 2 women (one younger, one older) out of the blue walked up to me and engaged me in a conversation. They asked me what I call the standard questions (how, when, what, where). additionally telling me that I was Handsome, etc....Since I wasn't interested in any Short-term or Long-term new relationships... I politely told them a small lie that I had an appointment with my girl-friend...and she was a very jealous violent person...bye bye.

Re: Me and My Family
When my husband and I were travelling through Rajasthan, whenever I was sitting on my own Indian women would sit next to me for a chat. Their questions were where was I from, am I married, do I have any children, how many children, and how many boys and girls. They were delightful, every single one of them. My chats with them are one of my fondest memories of that that trip.

Re: Me and My Family
Hmm.. Maybe I expressed my self wrongly. What I was trying to say is that the vast majority have given me support and advice which I really do appreciate of course. However I do get the odd snide comment on occasion which is a shame. These in the main are from those who are not regular contributors. Sorry about that...

How: How old are you, or... How much money, How much do you make, etc...although in some parts of asia their is no taboo asking people "how much do you make".
When: When did you get here (how much knowledge do you have about the Philippines), or...When are you leaving.
What: What are you doing, or...what do you want to do.
Where: Where are you from, or... Where are you staying (hotel, etc...).
One of the scams I've heard about... 2 women approach you, one is younger, the other is older (family member), at some point the younger one ends up back at a hotel for some private time, the "family member" calls the police "my underage daughter, niece is being molested", the police kicks down the door... and police say to the effect..."Do you want to go home...or do you want to go to jail (pay a bribe). Weather the person is underage of not... most pay instead of a few nights in jail or worse. 100% not advocating prostitution, or pedo activity. just saying...It is what it is.
Not saying all Philipinos are bad, but in my opinion as a foreigner you have a lot to loose when you are in a notoriously corrupt country.

Not all Filipinos are bad most are good. There are numerous men from the West who arrive in Asia with no or very limited experience in living in a new country. I suggest that most are naive in thinking that Asian women are compliant, what a big mistake. As stated in an earlier post 'There is nothing like an old fool', or, 'Fool and his money are soon parted".
So why be surprised that many fall into the honey trap.

Bealinehx,
I certainly agree with that statement. The RP no worse or no better that most other countries. And just to make sure the women on this forum don't feel left out... quite a few example of women ending up being taken advantaged through out the world also. Broken hearts and broken bank accounts do not discriminate based on gender.

Read about at least 3 in our local paper when in Europe last summer.
