Ask For Money – Shout Next!

The simple advice I or anyone can give is that if you are asked for money in any form, bale out fast. Internet cafes are cheap and affordable for all Filipinos bar the very poor and why chase one of those? You will have absolutely nothing in common with her if she is so poor she can’t afford twenty cents for an hour online.

Demands for cash come in many guises. The clever ones don’t ask outright, they just tell you their tale of woe and you offer from the goodness of your heart. After all, it’s only funny money. But even peso’s add up.

If she is so unlucky as to be a walking disaster area then you are best out of it. How did she manage her life before you rode up on your cyber white stallion? Why is it your mission in life to fix hers? Are you marrying someone to love or somebody you can impress and have grateful to you? That doesn’t last long and she will soon expect more and more.

Filipinas are no different than any other woman when it comes to the core reasons for a relationship. They are just lots of them, fairly accessible and tend to overlook things their western sisters wouldn’t. Of course, bottom line is that if you were dating a woman in your home town it could cost you a hundred bucks a night for dinner and drinks, probably more. So why not send her twenty bucks and enjoy the charade? Play the game and see if you can catch her out, then have a giggle together over it.

Nothing wrong with that so long as you know she’s scammin’ and don’t mind. Like the other day my wife had her credit card stolen and asked me to have it cancelled. I checked with the bank and told her to forget it, the thief was spending less than she did!
