    One of the main reasons why my expat friends in Makati will not allow ANY of their girlfriends' relatives to visit their condos.

    Sounds harsh, I know, but too many of them have been there and done it before when it comes to being a cash cow.

    With so many available women in the Philippines, I have never really understood why some guys go over there and want to marry the first woman they meet..........

    The best advice I would give someone if they're planning to meet a Pinay is to tell them early doors that under no circumstances will any money be sent/given at any time. If she is a scammer she's more likely to lose interest and move onto someone else.
    Most would run away on those kinds of statements

    If that's what it takes then so be it. Best to know early on than years down the line. I actually think it's vital to know 100% that she loves you before thinking about marriage. And it doesn't matter what she says as this has about as much value as a Yum Burger from Jollibee's. Talk is cheap.

    Of course, there are Pinay's out there who want a man for all the right reasons. I know a few here in the U.K. They're the type who don't mind going out to work to support their family in the Phils and don't expect their husbands to shoulder the burden.

    And let's be clear about scammers. They come from all corners of the globe including Britain. Any woman who marries a man for financial reasons is a scammer in my eyes, regardless of their nationality.

    I gave up on the dating sites, as tbh, so many are after money in the end.

    Think it's been said before, but the best way is just to choose a nice resort, fly out there as a holiday and chat to some girls while you're there - I bet you can't easily go wrong.

    I used to say I preferred Filipinos to Thai girls, as the Thais are more switched on when it comes to seeking money - but I'm of the belief Filipinos are just as bad now.

    Of course, not everyone is like that, but sadly, many are.

    Also, I can tell from some of the profile pics these girls were not all poor ... latest mobile etc. The really poor girls in the provinces, I can understand them asking for help just to buy food, but as I used to say, "You managed before we started chatting, so you can get by without extra money", and at least let a relationship develop.

    They might have died of starvation now Les.

    Jumped in on this late, but I think an important thing to look for, is someone who is at least working, and beware of anyone who seems to spend a lot of time online - be it dating sites or facebook and the like - without a good reason.

    I won't go into reasons, just boredom I suppose, but I have been chatting to both Filipino and Thai girls over the last year and have found Thai girls more likely to be in work, maybe because there is so much money being sent to families in Philippines from overseas workers and they have been made lazy, or the economy is not as good.

    Language is a problem in Thailand though, but I do like Thailand and prefer the food.

    I agree. Lazy Pinays as well as snobs and those who are very tampo prone should be avoided at all costs.

    I had quite a few who said they gave up their job to look for something better - or look after sick Aunt etc.

    But remember guys, some lovely genuine ones out there, but so hard to find.

    I have another idea which doesn't involve dating sites.

    Travel sites such as this one:

    http://www.travbuddy.com/Philippines...l-partners-c86

    There are quite a few locals who will show you around their hometown/area including females. Of course they may not be looking for a partner, but's it a good way to meet new people - and you never know, it could lead to something. Obviously it's wise to be wary especially if you're being escorted around cities such as Manila for example with a relative stranger. It only costs ten dollars to contact members which is around £6 I think - and that's a one off payment I believe.

    Maybe good idea, but you could just fly out and sit in a mall and chat easily.
