Popular Post i am bob Posted June 19, 2013 Popular Post Posted June 19, 2013 I was married for quite a few years but I "turned a blind eye" for the sake of my children. Since then I have dated a handful or more women. What did I learn? No matter where they come from, some are good and some are bad... Some wanted things I could not give them and some wanted something else... Some were completely not the person I thought they were and some were close to what I wanted and needed in my life - just not quite as much as I desired. And, yes, I had the psychotic one too! But to blam e it on race? Not likely! Not unless you use the "Human Race" as your basis. May I suggest you read all the posts above again? Perhaps you may learn something that may help you... And, in case you wish to know... As for the present? I have found my Special Someone and yes! She is a wonderful amazing astonishing caring and beautiful Filipina! :-kiss: 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Yeah! (what everyone else said) Perhaps you are looking for the wrong thing. Your goal is to get married?? WHY? Your goal might be too high for now. So settle on simply finding a stationary / stable woman for a long term relationship. LEASE with the option to buy at a yet to be specified date. The older the woman, the better chances are she is stable and easier to get along with. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post relcarve25 Posted June 19, 2013 Popular Post Posted June 19, 2013 I don't want to seem to be too unsympathetic to your 'tale of woe', but to be honest your experiences remind me of the famous quotation of Oscar Wilde. To paraphrase he said... "To lose one parent may be unfortunate but to lose two is just careless!" Perhaps this could be modified to; "To lose one wife may be unfortunate- and to lose two could be careless- but to lose 3 is a reason for deep personal reflection about ones suitability for marriage.

Forum Support Old55 Posted June 19, 2013 Forum Support Posted June 19, 2013 Bruce makes an excellent point. "The older the woman, the better chances are she is stable and easier to get along with." Anyway I hope you will find a happy match next time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Maybe introduce him to your Jollibee lady. HEY! Cut that crap out! I already have Canadian Bob and Jake all in a dither on how to woo her away from me! And that is not easy once a woman sees Jake part his hair with his tongue.... But in reality, of all the women I have met on Samar and help out, she is the lowest maintenance and causes the least drama. She is a keeper... IF I was looking for a wife.......

robert k Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I think the OP is having a problem because he is picking career women who don't really neeeeed a man, but see nothing wrong with getting one to pay for a few things, dinner, missed car payment, car insurance, plane tickets, happens everywhere. I think you just need to find the right one, of any ethnicity. Like Thomas, I intend to live in the Philippines and I let it be known from the start. My girl is smart and has a job but she isn't a career woman. She wouldn't even let me send her money as a gift. I think you can have success if you eliminate all the ones who don't share your goals as prospective partners, look for the personality you want to be around and let this narrow the group more, pick from any that are left over according to looks or family or any other criteria that suits you because you aren't going to find perfection. Keep searching. :) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I have suspicions this is a trolling post but, if it really happened, it seems obvious that the OP spent far too much time "online" with these 3 women and not enough face to face before making lifetime commitments. You can't know someone by communicating through a computer any more then you can judge our character by reading our posts on a forum. There are women who prey on lonely men through dating sites, if it wasn't a successful strategy they wouldn't do it. Some are very good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post softail Posted June 19, 2013 Popular Post Posted June 19, 2013 I'll share a few of my experiences from my dating days. I'm from Seattle USA and spent about 11yrs dating the local women and found out that they just weren't what I was looking for. Now mind you these are all ladies I met in the Seattle area not in the RP. I happened on a Thai gal and dated her for a while until she made the announcement that we would be getting married and because we loved each other there would be no pre-nup , seeing as she had nothing to bring to the party alarm bells sounded and that ended that. Next I met a Filipina gal, things were going great, thought I had the right one until she was asked to leave the country because she had too many husbands, I have to say that was a real shocker, back to the drawing board. Next I met another Filippina, gorgeous gal, was talking marriage until I started to sense that something was wrong, she seemed withdrawn somehow, found out she was cheating on me, sh&t, another one down the toilet. Finally one day I was chatting on Yahoo Messenger and this gal sent me a message, a Filipina gal, we chatted for awhile and decided to meet that evening for dinner. We agreed to meet at a local Fred Meyer store because she was of course leery of meeting a stranger she met online. As I was sitting there waiting I saw this Asian gal walking my way, I couldn't take my eyes off of her, she saw me, we made eye contact and that was it.....here we are been married 6yrs and couldn't be happier. I should mention we have an 11yr age difference. The point I am trying to make is even with one on one daily face to face contact is it extremely hard to find a compatible partner, I simply can't imagine how hard it would be to find the right lady with an almost exclusive online or phone relationship with perhaps a couple of 3 week visits thrown in. Combine that with all the cultural differences, you have a real task on your hands. Doug 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
