Most of these women have seen hundreds of 'dic pics', and know how to manipulate you.


You mix up the bad and the good ones.
I suppouse GOLD DIGGERS have seen many dick pics,
while many GOOD women have told me they are frustrated at many MEN ask for nude, when the women expect serious conversation...

I really get tired of emotionally immature men. They are 'Desperados', and make it difficult for the adults.


Well.  They maked it easy for me to be very good in  comparing with them...   :lol:   
There are rather many Filipinas, who like to talk with me also AFTER they approached me but I told them we cant suit as a couple.

Thanks for your comment. Sure, there are some good women on dating sites, but how many are there (5%), and why would you take the odds that 95% are scammers? You are disillusioned if you think you are someone 'special'. I have been to the Philippines, and the choices are more plentiful once you arrive. 'Desparados', are men seeking online entertainment, easy, short-term solutions, without committing to their objective. It's easy to date Filipinas once you arrive there, and like any country, there is the good and the bad. I'm headed back in April (3rd trip) for 2 months to Cagayan De Oro. I am serious about a partner, and will step away from Manila, Cebu, and 'touristy spots'. I will not marry someone within 1-2 years, and will invest the time to visit the 'right one' on a regular basis. A long-term relationship requires more than lust.

^DT, that's the disconnect -- YOU are already there.   Others are 2, 5, 10 years down that road and OL dating could be something as an option to pass time by while waiting for that day.    

I think at this time, all are aware of OL scammers.    I think those who got scammed were back when  OL dating was still new.  As long as y'all are being smart about it, I say enjoy.  1f600.svg

I found my gf on filipina Cupid, I was on there for 3-4 weeks and had already set a week to visit.

I had a process of what I was looking for, video chat almost straight away as someone else has said, obviously my criteria, kids etc. One of my own personal criteria is they must be working even if it’s washing clothes etc.
Age is important too, I’m 53 and my age criteria was 24-40, also my biggest no no was if they asked for money before we meet. Throwing in there that I will be over in 4 weeks is also a good deterrent as it flushes out most scammers while interested girls are flattered.
My biggest advice is to go to the Philippines and DON’T fly them over for a visit. Lots of reasons why.

I been married 19 years to a lovely girl from the Philippines, we try to go to cebu every year to see her mum
I knew what I was taken on before we tied the knot 4 years dating , we all came back to Scotland she got a good job in a supermarket saved up her money a saved a good wee nest egg
It’s a big ask to bring someone out of home country and settle in a new place but if you work together it can be a great end result
I have seen many a expat being ripped off and I say 75% of it is there own fault
They jump in to quick ,the age difference and splash the cash over in the Philippines and don’t have a pot to piss after 3 months
But there is someone for someone out there just don’t be one of the many that get hitched after 2 months dating ,build a house ,buy a taxi ,build a pig farm , split up after all is built and payed for and end up coming home pot less

I met my wife on Cherry Blossoms 16 years ago. After chatting for 3 weeks I went to Sam's Club and bought an engagement ring, I then bought a couple bikinis and a ticket to the Philippines and we got engaged. We've been married 15 years now and it's all good.

I had divorced my two-timing wife and moved to Houston, TX and started dating. I was most impressed with the Filipinas I dated so I reasoned that if the Americanized girls are that impressive, what would the real deal be like? That's when I joined Cherry Blossoms and met some really nice girls, and a few scammers.

I had the girl I was looking for in mind, petite, long black hair, and cute, but not drop dead gorgeous, and from the province. I was chatting with 2 or 3 girls one night and I got a hello from a girl I hadn't met so I asked for a picture. When she sent the photo it stopped me in my tracks, that was her, I told the other girls I had to go. She had a sari sari store and had saved up enough to buy a second hand computer and left in on 24/7 so I had no question about her honesty, and still don't.

She was discouraged and almost gave up on finding a good husband online because all the guys before me asked her to take off her clothes. I just wanted to see her in a bikini on the beautiful Leyte beach where she lived. That was enough, everything checked out.

While that experience with FC might be true for some…it certainly wasn’t my experience. I met my Filipina on that dating site and we’ve been together for five years, have a one year old baby boy and will be getting married 😊

Wow aren’t you the expert on relationship cohesion even though you have no partner 🤣🤣

Just out of curiosity I checked out some of the Asian Dating Sites just to see for myself even though I have no interest in them. There is a site called Truly Asian that lets you message for free although it only allows you to send messages once every ten minutes unless you pay for their premium package, then you get more. (Video Calls, etc).

I have received a lot of messages but a fair few seem to be scammers and I am sure the site itself generates some of the shows of interest to get men to start conversations and hopefully upgrade to their premium Package at cost just so they make more money. There are a fair few scammers on there but also seem to be a fair few genuine ladies looking for love.

My guess is that she is a he or she was a he. I've had this happen 3 times on Filipino Cupid. The first one took me a while to figure out as they learn how to hide certain masculine features. They sometimes take estrogen from an early age so they can really look feminine. Check the hands and feet. The reason she/he might not want to show her passport obviously is because it might have a male name.

The real problem with Filipino Cupid and the other third world matchmaking sites (For Some A Lonely Heats Club) is they have mutated over the years.

Many years ago, they served a purpose when they adapted to the internet. Then scammers learned how to use the internet.

So one day a Bar Girl, realized this could be a second, third or more stream of income (24/7). She was already was skilled on how to  manipulate foreigners in person, so internet was the goose that laid the Golden Egg. (She can even multitask juggling many men at the same time.)

What she appreciated compared to the in person scam that lasted a day, week or longer, the internet scam could last weeks, months or years, even survived personal visits of short duration from the scammed.

When she became successful on dating sites,  her friends noticed she had more disposable income than possible as a bar girl having a house, car & jewelry.

She educated her friends, over time they all shared secrets on extracting internet money from foreigners. They boasted of their success to each other. With years of internet experience they all had their scamming PHD.

Now the owners of Filipino Cupid who have over 30 dating websites didn't mind the fraud, because they were benefiting from millions of Dollars of subscriptions and fees.

So from time to time when somebody refutes that they weren't scammed and have been happily married for years after meeting their soul mate on sites like cupid, I believe for every success there is a boatload of Broke failures.

The sharks (scammers) that prowl sites like Cupid are far more advanced then those of 5, 10 or 15 years ago.

I might think the men who use these websites today are far more susceptible to being separated from their cash by either the site owners or the scammers.

(My personal opinion after two giant mugs of coffee and a generous mixture of Kahula.)

I couldn't agree with you more!  This was also a very entertaining read. Thank you for the late Saturday night read!

Girls who have found themselves in dire straits with poor opportunities of meaningful work have turned to these dating apps to solicit sex with men.  They have become quite sophisticated in handling multiple men at any given time on these websites. So much so,  that they have very much turned it into a business hustle for themselves, potentially coordinating dates and seeing many men in a single day. 

Girls who are active on dating sites such as these can also be found on Tinder.  this shouldn't be much of a surprise though.

I am certainly not advocating prostitution, and by same token, i do not judge girls in the situation they are in. Life is hard, especially for those whose life opportunities are limited.

However, I do have much sympathy of older, albeit lonely men who may not be as technically savvy who have been swindled by these woman - and perhaps their 'handler', if they have one. It is a serious social issue to requires an education on the matter.

You missed writing "some"    :)

There are many more, who search for SERIOUS relations, but are very frustrated by only being contacted by men, who arent interested in such at all, asking for nude at first webcam contact...

Well.  Many men are realty stupid, STILL sending money to women they have never met inspite of its common knowledge there are such scammers!!!
If there werent such stupid men, there wouldnt be such female* scammers...
Even worse, by more money, when men buy/build real estates and put ALL in Filipina's name without being married!!! 

* Females - or not  :)
I dont know if still, but there have been ORGANICED scammer gangs I know of in:
/A gang of SHEMALES in Cauayan, Negros.
/Cebu city, I believe females.
/Not sure if it was when he lived in Manila or Subic/Angeles, but a FOREIGNER MAN, LOOKING MAN and NOT any of the leaders, was in such gang there many years ago. I suppouse he could manage by it was before webcams.

Best to tread lightly....

The 'can' if you will...will just be kicked further down the road...so best do your due diligence before venturing into any kind of relationship here; as desperate times will eventually lead to desperate measures being taken.

A good read on the reasons why internet relationships/scams are now a thriving industry.

Yes. Minimi = Common salaries according to law are in most part of Phils*  only around 8000** pesps per month,
and many employers dont even pay that!    (Many illegal, some by using an exception law.)

*Everywhere except Metro Manila and Cebu city.

** It was  around 7000 pesos. Raised recently but I dont know how much.

I used [link moderated].  I had a list of 20 women that wanted to meet me. 

Keep your mouth shut and your eyes, ears and mind open.  Hide, and watch.  Claim to hate your home country; to want to leave there, never to return.  Say you want to make a life, in PH.  Stay in a cheap pension.  Dress and act poor.

A woman's family is indicative.  If they're sleazy, moochy people, it's likely she is, too.  Don't ignore or make excuses for negative events.  For example, the very first time she puts you in a position where you have to pay for her friends... anything, run like he77!

If it has an (adam's) apple, it has a banana. 

When you find a good woman (and you will) there will be problems, stemming from culture - what I call the famous filipina shyness.  She will be hard pressed to provide what you would call straight answers, in difficult situations.  Expect it.  Learning to deal with it will be the key to forming a lasting relationship.

Should I be concern my filipina girlfriend has 15 sexual ex and flings too in her 24s?


She firstly say it is 10, but after one more month in LDR she admit 15 and saying she lied coz she is shy. I personaly have 21 ex but in her age i was less. Should i be concerned? Also i know she dated with foreigners before, should i ask how many she slept with?


I trust her she is different now, she is hard working, i know well her job as she take care of old lady, i know it coz we videocall a lot of hours every day several months. She is no partying anymore like when she was younger but im still kinda jealous. Even if I trust her she is serious with me. What should i do? Thanks
