    Well herein lies the thing, it can be played both ways. Guy promises the girl the world, says s how much he loves her, meets up, has an enjoyable holiday, never to speak to her again. Indeed just to make sure, he lines up a few and spends a week with each one.

    It works both ways but the scammer filipina seems to get a raw deal (from what I have read online) because the guy hates the idea that he's been taken for a ride, looks gullible and a little poorer for his efforts.

    Its actually a very valid point, I'm quite sure that men meet up with Filipinas without good intensions, maybe we should be talking about that a little more as opposed to slating the Filipina scammer, we now have the Western scammer :)

    It is probably true to say there are a lot of profiles on dating sites that are more than a little economical with the truth.

    Yep very true, all different people from all different races are all potentially looking for different things on those sites. Some however are very genuine cases of people, both men and women who are looking seriously for a lifetime partner... and it happens more than people probably realise. Just as in other non-website dating relationships, some work very well, some fail. It's not the mechanism of how you meet that determines the relationships future success, it's the two people in the relationship.

    I agree, these sites have brought many people together who otherwise would have remained single, there is probably more good than bad done by these sites. I would certainly use one if I was single, nothing ventured nothing gained.

    For sure. Anyhow I did and for me I thought it was a good mechanism for "vetting" (if that's the right word, apologies asawa :)) a potential partner over a period of time, of course you have to meet but at least you know what/who you're meeting when its the first time, there's some commonality from your online conversations.

    This is something with what I totally agree.
    Willingness is most important. If you have a good will you can do everything. :)

    At least now you know what you are dealing with, with this it makes your quest for the perfect Filipina easier and hopefully less eventful :D

    Any airline that takes you to the Philippines is okay in my book :), go for it.

    PAL isn't one of the better airlines but you have to cut your coat according to your cloth, or in plain English buy a ticket you can afford. Shop around online for deals to the Phils, if you have flexible dates when you can travel then you will get a better deal. Remember, the less you spend on a flight the more you have to spend in the Phils.

    Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Etihad and Cathay Pacific are your better airlines to travel with but as I said before, doesn't really matter as you will be that excited you wont notice.

    Enjoy young man, enjoy :D

    But the only thing that I'm afraid of is that I will lost somewhere in Dubai or China or any else stop where I will have to look to change the plane for the one that take me to the Philippines :)

    I assure you that you wont get lost, there are plenty of airline staff to point you in the right direction.

    If you fly with PAL from Heathrow then you will not have that problem as you will be flying direct, PAL is one of the cheaper airlines too, a win win situation.

    Do you live in London?

    I can see that Cathay Pacific is from Honk Kong and they have direct flights too. Thank you for the names of the airlines I can use. It will be very helpful for me. And I can see now that there's really nothing to be worrying about. :)
    Even flights for a next day or next week have the cheap prices.
    Well......not cheap but the same prices as the flights in next year :)

    I didn't realise Cathay Pacific flew direct from London, thought they would route via Hong Kong.

    Emirates fly to Manila via Dubai from Birmingham, you wont get lost in the terminal in Dubai, no need to change terminal. Emirates flights are cheaper too from Birmingham as opposed to London Heathrow and Manchester. I used to use Emirates all the time flying from Manchester to Dubai or Manila, two times I have flown from Birmingham because of the cheaper price.
