    Which one :)
    mmh, i guess you mean wifes.. ok , i let my pants down guys.
    pinay wife nbr. 1 i met in 1990 in Manila at some Theater folk festival in UP in Manila, she was my current Gf (fee months or so ) and in a stage of mental insanity i decided to return to Germany to make some real big bucks in order to afford a car. I already lived 4 years in MNL and it could have been any other Gf too.
    So i said to her ( naive as i was), you wanna tag along to Germany.? Said and done. Unfortunately the bastards in the German government decided o abolish the 90 day visa, extendable forever, one just had to cross the border and "balik" again for the next 90 days. NOO, they decided to Reunifiy Germany and since they finally ended the truce as well, they also decided to play US immigration policies. So, we had to marry which ultimately lead to divorce 6 years later.

    Now pinay wife nbr. 2 i met in Germany, she was already married before and lived happily in a "divorce year", thats how we met each other and told us our sad stories i a pub or so, well, rest as usual. the little negative point is, that i was already almost on my final expatriation back to the Philippines and she didn't really like to live there anymore. Well, somehow i or herself convinced her to move to Cebu and history repeated. i may have a fable for woman with antisocial personality disorders.
    ( I am careful now, i studied ALL available material about disorders... that will not happen to me again. :) ) And i now maintain a good friendship with a few shrinks here, just in case i am "failing in choices " again, LOL.

    Now the current Gf (i was never alone since my 13th birthday, except voluntarily) i again met during my divorce phase. I though i start practising a bit with flirting on neutral territory (after all, i was almost 20 years total married and had forgotten all about dating, not to mention my looks and other arguments such as big bank account had faded )
    For humping around i could go in any disco in Cebu City, but chances to find a SERIOUS partner there were more or less NIL. I mean a 50 year old guy in a techno disco...come on...
    mmmh, new idea, practise in facebook....at least one can log out before the laughter gets painful, right ?
    said and done, the first one got stuck right away, we facebooked a bit , but mostly SMS. Guys, hilarious, jackpot all the way, never laughed more in my past years. My staff thought i went loony...
    After 2 weeks we could finally meet for 2 hours while i was on a shopping trip in the city anyway. After all, i can not get away from my business in another town and inviting her over was a bit out of the question. Real ladies don't do that, right?
    Well, she must have really liked me, because when i invited her over for the fiesta a week later she even agreed to stay in my house. of course i suggested NO SEX for 1 month, so that we can get closer in love and not in LUST.
    That must have impressed her too ( LOL, i know pinays...) and she did not touch me for 2 days.

    So things went the natural way and i invited her to stay in my ridiculously big house after a few eeks and since then she lives here. (8 months)
    We are currently plan for the future and see what we can do. originally she wanted to go back to Dubai for her work when i met her, but well, she now orientates in an other direction. (The family don't need money, so she is free in her choices, a seldom occurance )

    Oh, the question was also the reason why we are here, well, i live here on my own choice and it has nothing to do with the other gender. I could have stayed in Central America, then i would probably have a wife or gf with a bigger bum ;)

    Both of them blind dates :shock:

    1985 a blind date organised by my mate, I was and am pretty socially inadequate ;)

    I met my first partner on a night out with my friend, that several of my friends had planned deliberately to try to get me out my shell.

    She was the right lassie, but didn't quite appreciate my extreme view of reality at that time (Nigel in the other place, you have nothing on my interpretation and view of reality mate ;) but you're a nice guy :like:)

    I have a lovely 25 year old daughter from that time and that relationship and while I proposed marriage to her mother many times and was accepted many times, she also changed her mind many times, I eventually gave up and for a long time at that. (I never gave up on my daughter though and I supported them for all that time)

    Twenty years later another friend arranged another blind date in a vastly different location :)

    I was over to hire some programmers and I was over with two good friends, I got ill the day I arrived (caught the flu before I left the UK) had never been in the Phils before but still felt a duty to go out with my my friend, we went to a Chinese restaurant and I was introduced to Ana and for some strange reason we hit it off.

    I lack a conventional sense of humour and strangely Ana does too we are both very pragmatic people, although her pragmatism follows no logic ;) :D but I would say that wouldn't I :)

    Ana likes slapstick humour and so do I, I am not keen on humour that is at someone's expense never have been, slapstick is not quite so hurtful usually.

    Anyway three kids later and two blind dates here I am :frust::D:erm::D:boxer::rolleyes::eek::(:like::oops::mad::sick::amen::baby::scotland::confused::drama::violin::hiding::shock::wow::help:

    Well since Dom isnt going to post I will lol

    Having failed once I decided to revisit Cebu after a year last March 12 month without a plan .just open to the moment

    During my first week a certain member here (who will remain incognito)asked if I could deliver a present for graduation to his step daughter.......sure why not so I was duelly met by five young ladies in a mall and invited to the party !!

    Having been threatened with various unpleasant realities by sead member and being British with all the natural decorum that engenders;) I politly declined and went my merry way.

    Fate however then played its part and my cell number was thrust into the unwilling hands of My now missus by the sister of said members wife who bravely texted me and the rest as they say is ......................Q.E.D. :like:

    me and hubby have a common friend.. he saw me on the yahoo 360 of that common friend and then sent me a message if we can be friends too. at first it was just like nothing for us coz both me and him were in a relationship.
    after more than a year we bcame good friends online.. i was single then and he was having problems with his gf till they broke up and we continue our friendship which ended to being a couple, coz of constant chatting and phone calls :D
    on his third visit we got married :like:

    Met Joy online through Date in Asia, a site known to be loaded with scammers. And at first I was not really expecting much as I had come out of a bad experience and so far the people on that website were blatant scammers. I recall one woman in a webchat simply took off her top and sat there in her bra and advised me if I sent her money by xoom she would "help me"... Anyway, I didn't send her anything and never spoke to her again, but was an interesting experience, and not the only such experience...

    So, when I met Joy, recall thinking to myself "okay, when does the sick donkey, sick mother and problems" come into the conversation, and found none. Instead she talked about her life, her hopes for the future and stuff like that. And I found myself more and more liking her, and feeling more at ease.

    And of course after flying over to meet her in Cebu, I recall looking around trying to spot her. And of course I failed... She was with her Auntie and Uncle, and younger cousin when she met me that day. She shouted my name (as she at that time had incorrectly pronounced it - Seeeen, instead of Sean/Shawn/Shaun) My first impressions of her when I saw her in the flesh for the first time was "Wow, she is tiny":eek::D But also very beautiful...

    Over that following 3 weeks there were so many things I got to learn about Joy, little things as well, like how she sings when she is happy.. I look forward to hearing her sing in the new year when I am there for 2 months:)
