Title: A little about the good ones that I have met. Post by: don2222 on May 16, 2003, 04:00:00 AM Okay, I thought I would make a post about the good ones that I have met.
J is one of the first that I met on this trip. She comes from a middle class family, and has never asked me for anything. She even pays for her own transportation to be able to visit me. Her family is very strict, and she is one of my younger penpals. My guess is that she is actually M visits me often to watch TV and take naps with me. I am the most comfortable with her, and we sometimes sleep all day. Very bright, kind and caring, and still a virgin. I am sometimes tempted, A is the one that I visited in Ilo-Ilo for her birthday. She reminds me a lot of the southern belles that R is the sister of one of my friends wife. A lot of fun to be with, she is 25, but we can play like kids in the pool. Very shy and bright. Her sister is a great wife to my friend, and I think she would be the same with the man that chooses her. Physically, she just doesn't do anything for me, but I would recommend her to any deserving man. B is one that I met during my visit last October. We dated about 10 times in October, and got along H is really sweet, and incredibly sexy. She hates it if you comment on her beauty because she There are more, but these are the truly nice ones that come to mind. Title: Re: A little about the good ones that I have met.

It won't hurt to wait for the right one. The right one is always worth waiting for. It will certainly spare you a lot of heartache and regret in the future. Good luck. PS. right again about the women of Iloilo, that province has the reputation similiar to the US South. Title: Re: A little about the good ones that I have met.

Hi Esiang, It has been less than a year since my divorce, and I am probably still a little too hesitant to get very serious with anyone right now. I am trying to give myself time to heal the wounds of a painful divorce. I am here in the Philippines for a long time, and there really is no need for me to be in a hurry. Maybe you are right, maybe I am not meant to marry a Filipina. But, I am learning so much about myself, and especially about Filipinos, that I really do value my time spent here. My goal is not to marry, it is to meet people and make new friends. Maybe, one of these friendships will be the love of my life, I do not know, but I am trying to benefit from the advantage of not being in a hurry.

Don, You seem to be genuinely interested in learning all you can about Filipinos and Filipino culture, unlike many of the ex-pats that I’ve run into over there, who seem to be mostly interested in the women and the beer. I was curious if you have made friends with many male Filipinos that you spend time with. If you only associate with the women, then you will be missing out on the culture from the male perspective, which can be quite a difference sometimes. I learned a whole lot in my early days about Filipinos and their culture from Filipinos that I worked with in the Navy and friends that I met while living over there. The men are more interested in politics, current affairs, world events, economics, business, and the subtleties of intercultural relations, etc. The women are primarily interested in watching TV, shopping, reading romance novels (pocket books), gossiping, and all that feminine stuff (easy girls, don’t kill me yet!). It may be somewhat of a problem for you if you don’t drink, but I learned a lot of good stuff about the Philippines while sitting around in the evenings drinking beers and shooting the bull with the Filipino guys outside the neighborhood sari-sari store. Some of my Filipino friends invited me to stay in their homes and they were constantly introducing me to sisters, cousins, and other female acquaintances. Anyway, don’t forget the male perspective when examining Filipino culture. And ask some of those guys why some Filipinos stare at you with the evil eye when you are with one of their women. They will be glad to explain it to you. It’s really a common reaction in most cultures, not just in the Philippines.

You seem to have a good attitude towards Male filipinos, unlike a lot of guys i have heard in the past who say things like, "never trust a male filipino" who trys to befriend you blah blah, I share your attitude about the males and made a few very very good friends on my last trip to the phils, men in their mid 30s one who i consider a trusted friend. Glad to see you are not down on the males .

Good for you! I had male Filipino friends before I ever traveled to the Philippines. One good friend of mine even taught me enough survival Tagalog to get by on, which came in real handy when I did go to the Islands. It's really not that unusual to find American guys who love the women but despise the men and much of the culture. I guess it's their loss... Ray Title: Just out of curiosity...

[This message has been edited by outwest77] Don How many trips have you made this year, you sound like me, i have made 3 for 6 months total, maybe ur not there yet but you sure sound like you have spent a lot of time there, i am very fascinated how you manage to gracefully set up meetings with so many women without a lot of tears and drama Title: Re: Just out of curiosity...

This is trip number 6, with my first trip being in February of 2000, I arrived this March, and will return to America this October. By the time I leave I will have spent about 18 months here. A very few of the women have met me with very high expectations, but I try to keep a first meeting brief and casual. Have not really had any real dramas to deal with yet, maybe I'm just lucky so far.

"B" is the one. Simply because she isn't looking. You'll have to court her and convince her of your intentions. That was what I did with Honey. Bear and Honey Title: Re: What I think... Post by: don2222 on May 18, 2003, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to What I think..., posted by Bear on May 16, 2003
