    Don't worry. It's not so easy to put me off. :)
    I truly believe in that. I believe that someone who have a big heart can truly love anybody and anything. Just need the willingness. And I accept it more than our girls love someone because he have a nice car. :)

    Well Tygrrysek, I hope you keep us posted on your quest to secure the ultimate Filipina although I feel I have already achieved that as have so many others here at British Filipino :)

    To quote an often used statement, what is needed is "boots on the ground"! A visit to the Philippines in the New Year. I was reading a post or two from one of our occasional members and in it he said that before he went for his first trip to the Philippines he lined up half a dozen Filipinas that he met online and when he got there he whittled it down to the lucky one. Having said that, she fleeced him and buggered off after a few years. :D

    There is no "forced marriage" in the true sense of that word in Filipino Catholic culture

    Right now I am in the stage that too many nice and sweet girls want to know me better and when I see so beautiful face it's really hard to me to say "no" :)
    Some of them are sticking to me like a stickers taking away as much of my time as they can. So right now I don't have the time for anything else.

    But that just make me wonder. You said that there's many scammers in there. I already meet some of them but they are not very bright. It was easy for me to read in their minds before they said anything. But let's say I meet more sophisticated scammer who plan a real relationship to win my trust first and scamm me later. Is it possible that when she see that I am a really good person she abandon her plan of scamm and she will really want to be my wife. ? :)

    It must be difficult to decipher which girls are genuine and which are not, that's a risk everyone must take regardless of Nationality when online dating. The ones that do not ask for anything would be a good start, the insincere girls will not be able to resist asking you for something, and to honest, a girl that does ask for something could be genuine you never know, remember that the Philippines is a developing country. If I was dating online I would try to find one who has a good education which would usually imply that they come from a good family that will not become a financial burden for you. You could try whittling them down over the coming months to lets say three in the Metro Manila area then go over to see them and choose between the three :)

    Only my opinions above that's all :)

    Yes but my question was: Is it possible that scammer will abandon her plan of scam if she meet a really good man to live with ? :)

    Once a scammer always a scammer I would say. I would say that if a girl scams you online that it is obviously a lot more likely they would do the same back in the UK once you have given them a better life. Your average scammer can be quite subtle, that's why we get scammed in the first place because they give you a very plausible account of why you should part with your money.

    I would say that poorer girls from the Philippines would ask for money for the internet, mobile phone, laptop and the like so they can keep in touch with you.

    Go for a girl who speaks and writes very good English and has a very good education, must be loads online.

    Of course she can/will. As a contrast many foreigners have ended up falling in love and marrying "dancers" from girlie-bars. Can they have a successful relationship and be happy? Sure they can.

    There are "professional" scammers, doing it as their primary mode of income. They play the long game, reeling the foreigner in with no immediate request for money. All the time the foreigner is believing it's a genuine relationship and falling for the scammer. Once the scammer believes the foreigner is hooked, she makes her move, gullible johnny foreigner starts sending cash. How much? Depends on how gullible he is, possibly 10's of thousand pounds/dollars if he's been hooked good and proper!

    Even if you are vigilante and suspicious you can get caught out, I'm sure I can speak for everyone on the forum that we have all been scammed in one way or another in our lives.

    Anyway, don't let us put you off, you have obviously sorted some of the girls, the hard work and good times are ahead of you :)

    Yep, as I've said to Tygrrsek before, keep an open mind. The ride will be far more enjoyable :) The indelible charm of the filipina can be a wondrous thing when chatting, even the scammers have a unique charm :D :D

    Yes, if you want you can play the scammer saying you are sending them lots of presents and money, then let them down once you get their confidence, couldn't do that personally because I'm too soft hearted, but its a thought :D
