Does he work in D.C.? ROTFLMAO!

You know I use to blame the Gold diggers but some of these Kano's don't have a lick of common sense they almost deserve it for being so stupid!

I knew that you would finally figure that out some day Hum (LOL)

Maybe it’s like the principle of Supply and Demand. If there is a demand for gold diggers, then there is going to be a supply to meet that demand. Here’s a good example from the “other furum”:

-----
Fiancee's family and my money

Can anyone suggest the best way of handling her family taking advantage of her? I send her about 1000$ a month but her mother and family seem to always need it. She did not have any left for her phone card. I know how filipinas are taught to help and do what their mothers say but it is getting harder for me to keep my mouth shut!! Any suggestions thanks...

I think the supply of dumb Kano's far exceeds the supply of gold digging Filipinas, but after you factor in the Green card sharks it's easy to see why the naive Kano hasn't a china mans chance.
So how do these Kanos end up financially secure if they are so damn dumb? Easy most have or had government jobs...

" I send her about 1000$ a month "

That is a years salary he is sending every month.
That is one stupid kano, and he is setting a really bad precedent, he is creating his own little welfare system where her family will never work again.  The demands for more and more money will never stop.

IMHO !!

... in response to Stupid Kano !!!!!!!, posted by don2222 on Jan 15, 2004

Yep!

I suggested that he cut them off completely for a few months just to see what happens. He said he couldn't do that because then she wouldn't be able to make her car payment or finish building the new house or pay for the tuition to send her and her 2 sisters through medical school. So I suggested that he start sending her $2,000/month. ROFLMAO!

This guy isn’t even married yet! Oh well, some people will never learn…

I can introduce him to plenty of filipinas that won't ask for anything, then he only needs to send me $500 a month, for now, for my services....

"One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the side of the road. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

"Why are you eating grass?", he asked one man.

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.

"Oh, come along with me then."

"But, sir, I have a wife and two children!"

"Bring them along! And you, come with us too!", he said to the other man.

"But, sir, I have an wife and six children!", the second man answered.

"Bring them as well!"

They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as a limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows says, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is about two inches tall."

Wow, so many newbie mistakes, I wonder how much of a kick-back the driver got in exchange for setting them up.

1)  The more english the driver speaks, the more likely he is to rip you off.  Many drivers offer to introduce filipinas, but then they want to set you up with hookers so they can get a kickback on whatever the girl can squeeze out of the guy.

2) The filipina has probably never managed more than $100 in her life, and he trusted her to manage $9000 plus ???

3) He paid one years rent in advance ????  That is crazy, i always pay the monthly rent at the last possible moment, you never know when things can get crazy.

4) mom sounds like a mamasan, why is she importing girls to work in cebu, sounds awfully suspicious

5) a good filipina expects her man to be jealous, and would never risk making him angry by having many male friends or going to the internet cafe

6)  he never discussed finances or living arrangements before they married ??  did they have any pre-marital conversations at all ??

just my opinions....

In Vietnam the most commonly used phrase for prostitute translates as "Taxi-girl" and is very accurate. If a 'driver' introduces you to a girl or takes you to a bar it is a fair bet that you don't want to know her, or don't want to be there.  In Vietnam you steer well clear of taxi drivers that speak good english.
