Poor Pinays And Rich Falangs
I do not understand the basis of this discussion.
In your own country, do you see well dressed women associating with deadbeats?
No.
Do you see poor women doing their best to hitch up with rich men?
Yes.
What is the difference?
As I see it, the difference is that in their own country, women can pretty quickly susss out the level of wealth of the man. This is not as easy as with a filipina in the Philippines with a poor falang, because the falang can afford to live relatively well and convey the impression of wealth for a period of time.
The pinay will try to get to western countries because these countries have a welfare system which will guarantee a standard of living which as far better than she can expect in the Philippines.
Also, our level or regulation, consumer protection, and law and order guarantees that she will be safe from predators.

Stopping Kidding yourselves
Please do not delude yourselves that Filipinas, at least those from the cities, cannot figure out quickly, and reasonably accurately, the level of wealth of foreign men. There are lots of cues on which they are very quick to pick up: the type of restaurant to which you take them; the type of gifts you provide for them; your clothes and your clothing style; the types of drinks you order; the hotel in which you stay. All of these are, to them, reasonable predictors of degrees of wealth. Whether they accept you/stay with you depends on part, on whether they find that level acceptable.
The guys who don't have, or at least don't want to spend any money are not going to attract, for the most part, decently-educated, reasonably middle class Filipinas, at least not for long. They will have no trouble attracting poor girls, mostly uneducated, from the provinces, to whom even minimal luxuries represent reasonable improvements in their living standards. Here in Davao at least, if you're staying at the Marco Polo or one of the other good hotels, and you're taking the ladies to eat in European restaurants, you're going to have a much better success ratio with middle class women. This may not be an absolute law, but it's certainly true in most cases.

two meanings for "[CodeWord140] poor"
Actually, "[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] poor" can mean 1) poor or 2) below standard
[url]http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url]+poor[/url]
I assumed D'etat meant the second meaning when he wrote: "Have any of you guys ever seen a Filipina with a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] poor foreigner? (SNIP) why do the foreigners seem to pick the low of the lot when it comes to choosing Asian women? "
Also, in the intial posting D'etat DID NOT write "I never see Filipinas with [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] poor foreigners". He asked the question, but he didn't answer it himself. I presumed he were referring to HOT Filipinas with scraggly-looking guys -- something that is pretty common, especially in AC. So, I can understand why D'etat was perplexed by my comments on this thread. Nevertheless....
This is the second time D'etat has had a hypersensitive reaction to something I wrote -- and I'm not even trying. :-)
