Ruddy_Rooster Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I think your wife (or any helper in these situations) should be honest with all concerned. When setting up profiles, make it clear if little or no English is understood. Then teach the lady seeking how to use the translation tools that are freely available online. Language barriers don't have to be a problem if both are patient. Many English speaking people marry Thais, Chinese etc whose English is little to none. Many Europeans with poor English skills marry Filipina. Nothing stops either party from learning a new language so no need to be calling anyone "little brain". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americano Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 I think my wife and I finally got this guy convinced that his gf doesn't know much English. Now he says it doesn't matter because he will teach her English and learn her language too. He thinks she is very smart but we didn't tell him that she's not smart. I guess he's not interested in her intelligence anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 haha....I have lots of experience with this....before I get too emotionally invested, I usually get them on Skype so I know the face fits the pics, etc etc. :) How could you be sure of that? One woman I knew had 11 different looks, which more looked as sisters/cousins or even not related at all :lol: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I could tell if it was the same person, my line of work makes it easy for me to make sure I am talking to the right person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I could tell if it was the same person, my line of work makes it easy for me to make sure I am talking to the right person. I don't know what that mean, but perhaps you missed my joking mark? :) (But it's true I knew a woman, who looked as 11 different in different ocations. I bet you would fail knowing if it was same, if she showed up in a webcam with different looks :) at least some the most different ones. I "collect" funny/odd true stories from life, and I have had many years doing it, including written some mainly funny books but with some serious parts, so I know many such stories. Now and then it has happened if a friend is bored or out of subjects to talk about, I suggest they give me a challenge to tell something funny/odd related to any subject THEY chose and as far as I remember I have always had something suitable in "store". E g that's why I knew it had been done "youth Viagra" scientifical tests on old male monkeys :) (=Other topic running parallell.) Once I impressed on a Scorpio woman !!! :) without meaning to, by managing to tell "extraordinary" things about four totaly different subjects the group was talking about. She wondered how I could know so much about so different subjects, but back then I looked as I had been grown up only 1/4 of the real (=25 but I were 40) and it's much easier to know more than expected then :) Edited October 9, 2013 by Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 The title of this thread made me laugh,as sometimes when I am talking to my wife I wonder if it is her I am talking to .EG the other day I said to her so and so was put in jail the other day for not paying for the damage he caused to so and so`s car. She told me I know so I said who told you she said I was walking the sea wall and I saw him in Gills. Gills is a bar down there where the Op goes most days. Priceless! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonytt Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I too met my (who is now my wife ) online. Before I met her I met a few scammers who after a day or two gave me a lame excuse and asked if I could send them money. after about a month I met Raeleean and chatted with her. A few days later I started calling her. (She speaks pretty good English I was really surprised) so, $1,300USD later (my first phone bill) . I decided i liked her enough to see her. So after 3 months of talking, texting and skyping I went to see her. We definitely had chemistry and we hit it off very well. So well that a week into my trip I went to Ayala and bought an engagement ring. We took a trip to Natassan beach resort in negros and I proposed to her. At first I thought her love for me was out of obligation to her family, after all she was 18 and I was 42. But she has proven to me that she truly loves me for me. (Stop laughing) So, after the first trip i Went back home and started the fiancée visa process. I went back four more times within one year for 3 weeks at a time. (My boss wanted to kill me) So we are now married one year here in USA but we both decided to move back to the Philippines. We should be able to live pretty decent On my retirement. Anyway, that's my online experience. But I just got lucky. There are a lot of good honest filippina woman out there but there are also liars , bar girls and gold diggers. If i were to give any advice on meeting a filippina online, I would say give her some tests!
