Girlfriend Promised To Muslim

What that means is the girls know they can use and abuse the guys and trade them off in a heartbeat if they are not getting what they want from the relationship.  The conversations between the girls are way different than the conversations between girl and foreigner (as you might expect).  I hear them joking about keeping a guy until someone better comes along and I do see that happen on many occasions.

 

This is nothing new. My sister-in-law on the ex's side has 5 children from 4 different men. My sister-in-law has 4 children from 3 different men. Filipina's do not like to sleep alone.

Didn't you see some signs you better chose an other family, BEFORE you married your ex  :)   or are they very different?

 

Of course there are exceptions "black sheeps" in families, but in general traditions in the own family are very important for how people will behave. At least I HOPE it's so, because we have almost no divorces in my family, and I hope I will not damage that statistic  :lol:

 

Sorry Tom, I did not word it properly. "My sister-in-law on the ex's side" is the sister of my wife's ex-husband. A different and separate family.

My wife raised 2 nieces from her sister (from different fathers) and 2 nieces from her brother (from different mothers). Our nephew of age 23 is married with 2 kids and has fathered at least 6 more from different young girls. By the time that he is 50, he likely will have 50 kids. The husband of our niece found out just last year  who his mother is. I tried to do a family tree but it is hopeless. It is more like a vine. Do you ever wonder why a lot of Filipinos look alike?

 

 

I thought I was the only one who noticed how many Filipinos look alike.  Sometimes I see a Filipina and think to myself there must be 1 million Filipinas who look just like her. Its got to be from inbreeding for hundreds or even thousands of years.

 

Mr. Williams wants to find a good Filipina so I suggest he come to the Philippines and find one in person. Too many things can go wrong when you use dating sites and only chat on-line. You will never really know the person until you spend time with them in person. People can tell you anything on the Internet doesn't mean its true. Meet the girl, meet her family and friends before you decide anything. If the girl or her family starts asking for money or wants you to build a house for them walk away because they are only interested in your money. Helping the family should come after marriage in my opinion.

Btw- I still claim FAMILY traditions are very important concerning if having kids with more than one.

E g a very poor (1/2 hectare (!) farmer) family from Mindanao:

/Parents. 12 kids together, still living together.

/1. Oldest daughter. Married and 2 (?) kids with same man.

/2. sister. 1 kid with her husband. But he died in an accident and she is still young, so not odd if she get kids with 2 different men :)

/3. brother. Married. 2 kids with same woman.

/5. brother. Unmarried. 1 kid. But he was "the black sheep" of the family before that too  :)

/4. sister. No kids. Start losing patient, not affording to get married, but no kids.

(The other sibblings are to young to have kids).

At least as far as I know they don't have any "extra" chidren with somebody else.

 

But I know other example families, who suit to what jpbago said.

I thought I was the only one who noticed how many Filipinos look alike. Sometimes I see a Filipina and think to myself there must be 1 million Filipinas who look just like her.

Perhaps it has to do with it's common "whitings" think all Asians look the same,

and Asians think we foreigners look the same  :mocking:

I think they look very different, but the Filipins are so many so not odd if they are "a million" of EACH look  :lol:

I thought I was the only one who noticed how many Filipinos look alike.

 

For the first year I was here I was shy to take my significant other to the department store as she would wander off and I would have a hard time distinguishing her from the other 5 foot nothing, 40 kg, black haired girls in there.  Many years later I see the distinguishing features of every filipina I meet and I could pick each one out of a crowd, but the guys all still look alike (joke)

Its very true that when a foreigner comes to Asia they all look the same. On a foreigner's first trip to the Philippines you could line up ten Filipinas and tell him to pick the one he has been chatting with. I think most would not know which one was her, but I have been around Asians since 1970 so I have some experience seeing the difference.

I can honestly agree with this! When my ex from Taiwan first came to Canada, I met her at the airport. I was really starting to sweat by the time she came through the gate as I thought that I had seen her at least a dozen times all ready! Of course, when she finally did come through, there was no confusion at all!

Once again
Read the PM I sent you or go back and read post, http://www.philippines-expats.com/topic/17111-girlfriend-promised-to-muslim/?p=105403
No one but me is seeing what you think you are posting. You can not post by replying to an Email. Also do not put in a link to that dating site. And I hate to say it, but you must be nuts if you find a girl on a dating site and more or less over night you ask her to be your girlfriend. Haven't you learned anything?
 
 

Here is an update everyone! I met someone on the .com website. We have been talking for a few days. I asked her to be my girlfriend and she accepted! She a wonderful girl with a large family and has not dated since her 10 year old daughter was born. I am very excited! Thanks for the support. My goal is to prepare to see her as soon as I can!
 
Excited,
John
