Title: He said....She said--Or how not to misread a post Post by: Carrisse on January 12, 2002, 05:00:00 AM This post is for Sunwolf. It seems that he has taken offense to what I said in my reply to one of his post. Let me just clarify what he said and what I said.
He said: Quote Trust me, I have had enough american girls to know. I need someone who needs me back and american women just don't cut it. They don't want to be a pair, they want to be an island. They don't want a family, they want a full-time carreer. It seems that the women in the Philippines have a more family-oriented view of things, just like I do.[Unquote] I said: [Quoting myself]That Filipinas just want to stay at home and take care of families. Although we value family, not ALL of them want to stay home. I am pursuing a career but I'm not neglecting my family either. I think I'm very balanced. Besides, I just don't want to sit at home while my husband work his butt off. I do want to buy him anniversary gifts from MY own money and not get it from the family coffers. I may have a fine Filipina for you. I just have to email her first.[Unquoting myself] Then He said: Quote Here's another misconception for ya Carrisse. How about the misconceived notion that I said anything about not wanting my partner to work? What I said was that american women are now too enamored of their careers to even want one child. Work can't be everything, and I want kids. Most filipinas I know of want a family, too. That's why I like them, and I am not very impressed with the american breed. No offense, but please restrict your comments to what I ACTUALLY say, rather than what you assume I am saying. Maybe we can be friends. -------- WELL, EXCUSE ME!!! Where did I say in my post about you not wanting your wife to work? Did I even question your preferences? I was just debunking a misconception that Filipinas want to stay home and take care of family. Better take stock of yourself before you seriously commit yourself to a Filipina because if you are THAT onion-skinned (read: sensitive) then you'll just turn these wonderful Filipinas off. I also would like to warn you that arguing with a female over a trivial matter and/or a misunderstanding specially in places like the PI will get you nowhere. It will only make the Filipinas think that you have no b--ls and is a sissy. Lighten up. Take the discussion as they come and glean things that will benefit you. Sheeeeeeeezzzzzz! Carrisse |
