Filipina wives are the same as British wives. They deserve the same quality of life so you will be working just the same if and when your Filipina wife arrives here Can you remember that we have a lot of female members on here also and would like to make them feel comfortable when they visit?
With respect, I think you miss my point. I absolutely agree with what you say about equality, and work - although you mean that 47% of the population here cannot give their wives a good quality of life, if they earn below the amount required? I can't agree with that. I don't understand what you mean by the second paragraph, maybe I'm being a bit thick.
Sure, I was replying to the second paragraph, AndyRam. It indicated to me that Filipinas are satisfied with less.
Ah, yes, I see your point. I said Filipina because I was thinking of my future intention, and I wasn't specifically making a point against one culture or nationality. I honestly meant really any woman of any culture and any nationality...I can see how this could be taken now. Oops; quite careless of me, really. I apologise. My point (that I derailed with one word) is that it doesn't take 18600 a year to guarantee a successful marriage or relationship in this country when 47% of the population earn less than that - regardless of nationality, culture, etc. To be here and marry someone, you don't need an income guarantee, so why should this be the case when you marry someone of a different nationality? Anyway the general point I make is rather pointless; that's the way it is for now, fair or unfair, end of story.
Hi Andy, welcome to the site. Am also new here and gathering lots of information making my way to the UK. I met my boyfriend/fiance (since he already asked for my hands) in a dating site last June 2013. We then talked in Facebook, Facetime and he visited the country (Cebu) in August 2013. Never did I ask for anything from him. Never implied any problems needing financial as I have been employed for 10 years as well. He could not resist my beauty (haha) and brain (maybe) I guess and he was back in the country in Jan 2014 and back again in July 2014 despite all the odds. I on the other hand never asked him to bring me to the UK or give me something. Last December 2014 I got a visit visa (He paid for my airfare of course) and enjoyed my one month Winter stay in England and Wales and hoping to be back before the visit visa expires. We are taking one step at a time. Good luck in your search. No rush. If two points are destined to touch, nature will always find a way for your desires to come true.
Hi Shang. I'm sure he couldn't resist your brain as well - if someone is going to travel nearly 20,000 kilometers to meet you and then move towards marrying you, I'm sure he would like pretty much every aspect of you. Getting a visit visa for the UK seems to be very difficult, so well done for that! I'm not on the dating sites anymore. I've found the woman whom I believe I am meant to be with (and will be visiting her in the next couple of months), but I will be emigrating to the UAE to work there under an Irish passport, as quite frankly I do not stand a chance of getting her into the UK under the system the way it is, and I will enjoy working out there much more than here the way things stand, as sad as it is to admit. But I'm pretty much doing it so I can be with her. Like you, she works very hard, and has never asked me for anything - and has always been upfront about everything, including family situation, future life expectations, and so on. I'm pretty sure that she is worth it, and more. I hope you enjoy your new life in the UK!
It's nice Andy, you found your woman....treasure and love her truly! It's hard to find a true,honest and right person now a days.
Hi Andy, if you're going to the UAE just be careful if you are going to live with the loved one there, many people live unmarried there without a problem but its against the law and if you fell out with a neighbour for example they could report that you are living as an unmarried couple and you could end up in jail. I met my wife in Dubai and had to be a little careful with that sort of thing, like I said, there is no problem until it is brought to the attention of the police. Enjoy the UAE, I would have gone to live there myself if I could have found a good deal
Cheers bud, there's no way I will bring her to Dubai from Phils unless we are married. It's not worth the risk. Your experiences sound rather interesting!
Sorry Andy, I was thinking she was living in the UAE. The UAE and all the GCC around are full of Filipinos, the missus worked there for twelve years and that's where I met her when I was working there. Plenty of bars and clubs and plenty to do. Its not really my cup of tea but I can put up with the place. Yeah, PDAs (public displays of affection) are frowned upon there, you just have to be a little bit wary of the place. Its a place that is great to make money but probably one of the worst places you want to be if you get into any trouble with the law. As in all countries, you have to respect their laws and customs.

Jimmy, I suggest you edit out your email address and post a few times so you will be able to "start a conversation" with people and pass on your email address.
