.... I don't knock it, but I have found most of the younger filipino girls are only looking for money or a better life. .....
In all relationships there is a requirement that you feel that what you get is worth what you give. For example we, for the most part, have never met each other and never will but we still provide information and receive it.
We feel that the value of the information received, or entertainment value of participating here is worth the time that we spend here.
Same in a romantic relationship, is what you get worth what you give, I see nothing wrong with counting material items into the equations as well as emotional and physical items.
The majority of us came from highly privileged backgrounds compared to the lives of some women in this country. Lots of highly intelligent people are forced to accept less than 20k peso a month for professional work. Why else does 10% of the population become OFW's? If they are willing to accept the material and emigration potential of the relationship as something that satisfies them, then I truly see nothing wrong with that.
Ever look at some dating sites back home? Not uncommon for a woman to post her expectations in material ways that would shame even the most straightforward pina.
A pina on a dating site may say that she wants someone to take care of her, a western woman will say she wants an above average income professional man, who will buy her a house and ....
On the other hand I met a pina who on second date wanted:
60,000 p a month allowance
A house for her and her teenage son and his pregnant gf.
Pay all the gf's medical bills.
Pay for PhilHealth for all of them.
Buy all new furniture.
Take over her car payment
Pay for her, the son's and the gf's educational bills, take care of enrolling the kid in a international school when he was old enough.
No word on if I would be able to live in the house, needless to say she was going to quit her job as a Grab driver once I started supporting her.
Wonder what ever happened to her after I left the restaurant?
