| Title: Not in Kansas anymore! Post by: Cecil on January 16, 2002, 05:00:00 AM Though I write to the Philippines frequently, I find that sometimes I revert back to your basic american instincts.  In America, men frequently feel obligated to ask their lady's opinion as a courtesy to show that they value their advice.  So when I wrote my letter to a filipina by instinct I asked her opinion about converting one of my bedrooms into a dining area.  In contrast, in the phils. a lady wants her man to make the decisions and she is eager to follow.  The lady replied that she did not know but whatever I wanted would be fine. It just reminds me that women in the Phils expect their man to take charge and take responsibility.  Just a thought...
