Are you serious? I have a friend who performs diamond peels for the wealthy in Makati (the business district in Metro Manila) and those don't cost half of what you sent! And your lady friend lives in Davao (a place where the cost of living is lower). I'm honestly shocked that you fell for this hook, line and sinker.
Guys, please don't fall of the sob stories you hear (e.g. pawning stuff off? and diamond peels aren't necessities). It's quite saddening to read so many posts from guys who feel that they're helping when in fact they're only making things worse by continuing the notion that those women have that white men have all the money in the world and that it's only fair to share that money with every Tina, Donna and Laura that "needed" it.

I don't think the problem is that she's spending the money legitimately. I think its that you've given her so much money with no real structure to the relationship. To me, you've perceived this as a handout and are worried she'll come to expect more from you as a result of this. You may be right, you may be wrong.
But in my humble opinion throwing money around isn't going to help anybody, money is no foundation to build a relationship on

3rd August 2009 #35There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.

well a good point is her children are not children any more, the youngest is nearly 18, maybe she can get a job in France and use part of her wage to support her kids (that's what my misses does).
you just need to get her to talk about it, easier said than done thou
are you French or a Brit living in France ?

Chi si marita in fretta, stenta adagio,marry in haste repent at leisure,ask her whats the rush,you obviously dont feel comfortable at the speed its going hence the thread,maybe you should apply the brakes just enough to be in full control,but as I said earlier if your willing to accept a woman with baggage its your duty as a man to carry it for her when she tires.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Diamond peel costs between P5K-P10K. This is done on 3 or 5 sessions. The P60K is so much for that even if she bought the recommended facial treatments to maintain the smooth clear skin w/c is nearly P20K, still i find it too much.
So only age spots from her cheek was removed?... i can't tell how dark it is.... was it like a birthmark? Maybe the amount depends on how it is well rooted deep down the skin..... but P60K is too much!"

Am i missing the point here?
In the email she sent you, it sounds like she is being realistically cautious.
She's waiting to make plans, until you meet properly in person.
From some of your other posts Pacific, I've been getting the impression it's you who is keen to marry quickly?
You haven't met yet...you need to spend time together, a good amount of time, before you make any plans.
Caution has always been advised on this forum, about sending money, to someone you haven't met in person.

Php 60,000 for a diamond peel??? In Davao??? where did she have it done??? Diamond peels don't cost that much.. I should know.. I just had one... I don't know but I smell something not nice with this...
What's her name? I'll be going home to Davao next week.. you want me to check her out??
First mistake Pacific, you sent her money.. and I'm guessing you haven't met her yet? oh boy oh boy oh boy ... you are in for one hell (oops) of a surprise!
Trust your instincts (for men it's gut feel) boy... if it tells you to be extra cautious, then be extra cautious... if she hates for that, then she doesn't deserve your love... any woman who isn't for the MONEY would appreciate the fact that you are taking it easy with the relationship and not rushing into marriage.. just means that you are taking things seriously.
She's acting like she's 16... I can't wait to meet her!! I'm very serious in meeting her on my trip home.. Let me know.. I can ask people to "investigate" for me... hehehe...

The dermatologist is Karen Lee Alabado. Of course if you care to call there I ask you to be very careful as I would not want my gf to hear about that indirectly. It is my understanding that because my gf is just a government employee the derma was very curious how she would get the money and I believe she knows there's a western sucker behind....

As I said before, she told me there were 5 sessions, one per month, Ps. 8000 each = 40.000 plus a set of creams and stuff: 18.000 so 58.000 and I made it 60.000. She also got an injection in her legs for prurigo but it should not be that much.... anyway if you actually found out I have been fooled on that specific issue that would change my vision of her as a respectable widow...
