You have my thoughts and sympathy mate. It's a choker. ..mine had a similar upbringing. ...too many siblings, not enough food. It's doesn't give them the right to ride roughshod over all and sundry....especially to the likes of us who's took them out of that dire situation. I will add. .my wife got a sister. .she's solid gold. .an absolute diamond. All becoz someone's come from an impoverished background doesn't mean they are going to be your worst nightmare.
I won't be taking that chance again though.

Wise words Moy....as the song goes, always look on the bright side of life. ...never mind the fact she's trying to get him to take out more life cover on top of 2 existing policies I for sure would be sleeping with one eye open and a blade in my right hand. ..just in case
Always be prepared. ..that's my advice

I don't really want to offend any body here but what I can advise especially to those foreign men who are looking for love, I am not pertaining just to filipinas but for any women. If I were a man and seeking for a woman, these will be the common red flags for me:
If a woman starts talking about:
Poverty in her country
Poverty in her family
family problems
how hard to earn money
Anything about financial. I am not saying that you should leave your prospected contact but take time to know her MORE. Investigate, it is very easy to investigate about someone nowadays, and actually I believe that you will really feel if your contact is making up stories and just trying to fool you. One just have to be aware, and be cautious, it won't harm you. better be a hard to get than to have regrets

Perhaps it would also be wise for Filipinas to be as careful when choosing their prospective life partner.
Most seem to make very little effort in investigating the man's life...past and present, or the true facts about his country and culture.

A wise post. The difficulty with many men is that when a pretty woman walks in the front door their common sense leaves by the back door. There are FAR more gold-diggers about than anyone gives credit for. If there is a large age gap in a relationship that should be an immediate red flag. Guys should be asking "what does this woman really see in me?" I know it is hurtful to face reality sometimes but the painful truth is that she is seeing past your age and looks and is simply eyeing up your wallet and other assets. There is no such fool as an old fool. Have a good day.

"what does this woman really see in me?"
I ask my girlfriend that ALL the time.
She just tells me off about it.
Some girls really DO like stupid, grumpy, tight-fisted old men I guess.

very fair comment.
i'm 23 years older than mine. she told me very early on at the start of the relationship she was looking for a UK husband--so she could settle here ( she was here on a student visa at the time ). --i ran a thread on here about it when i first joined. comments about "marriage of convenience " were uttered.---but--arent they all--?
but that was nearly 2 & 1/2 years ago now. we were then apart nearly a year. i am helping her out financially--but its what we agreed and didnt set alarm bells ringing.--or break the bank.
the way i look at it--under the new regs she will have to put up with me for 5 years once she gets in with a fiancee visa.--hopefully later this year.
only then will we know for certain. i think its a risk worth taking. shes in a different league to any UK women ive ever met.

Again as some will say, there's no data for this but it doesn't take a genius to work out why a guy gets thousands of emails and interests from the likes of the third world dating sites and only a small fraction of that amount on our home grown sites like match and what have you.
You just gotta have your eyes wide open to find the genuine.
No offence to anyone here xx

This is a poster who understands the world.
When a young Filipina meets an old western guy then romance becomes a transaction. Anyone who has at least a nodding acquaintance with reality will figure this out. But for those who believe they have found true love? - well there are none so blind as those who do not wish to see. Have a good day."What if this is as good as it gets?"
