Most Pinays folk here come in contact with are the bottom end. Some of the ones I have bonked live in horrible conditions: charcoal cooking and so. They barely get by and their extended families take care of their brats as they spread their legs for trike drivers and foreigners they despise. One only has to see the amount of transfer money places in Pampanga to see why there are there. Having no worthwhile education and living in a country where work is scarce and badly paid, they try to get by in a way they don't really like. The main thing these women want to do is sleep and eat. I have had women who have slept like Rip van Winkle. If you look at some of the clothes women on the pics page, they look exhausted and in need of a scrub down to get rid of their hooker beauty paint.
All of these women are damaged goods, every last one of them. Here is a story about one of their sisters in England one of our esteemed colleagues might have written a report on: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...d-clothes.html She murdered her two kids because she wanted more sausage meat in her. Don't build altars to these women.

That is why it would never work me trying to send a chick money. I get paid by the hour. So for me to send you money means I have to take my ass up here on my free time and work a few extra hours. Shit just is never going to happen. My brain will not allow me to go work in order to freely give out money to someone else like that.
Nurse that I mess with in Colombia had surgery on her hand the other day. She said she went to the pharmacy and only had enough money for one of the medicines and asked me if I could send her money. Uhh no. If I was planning some type of surgery I would have made sure to have enough money for the surgery AND the medicine first. That is like going to buy a new car then realizing you don't have money to put gas in the mf. Some shit you have to hold off on until you are financially ready.
Tangent: Women spend their money on the things they want, then come ask you for money for the things they need. Same chick lives in Bogota and went on a trip for the weekend with her family to Medellin. When she got back she asked me for money for a bill that had to be paid. I said no. You just got back from Medellin. You should have been working those days instead of going off having a good time. She said her dad paid for everything. I said well you should have told him that you could not go and asked to use your share of the expense to cover that bill you need to pay.
Wingman was buying his condo in Thailand. He ran into his real estate agent out and about who bragged about the wonderful vacation she just came back from in Bali. The next week she hit him up asking to borrow money for some bills she needed to pay. Women are fucking idiots, but why not if many guys are going to fall for it.

I think she was as frustrated about me talking about it as I was about her doing it. But IMO this was a prime example of what holds a lot of people (and even the culture as a whole) in those type cultures (group) back. They can't get out and spread their wings and see what all is out there available to them because they have an anchor known as family attached to them.
In my culture (individualistic) our parents raise us to grow up and go out and take care of ourselves. Our possibilites are endless because we have time to explore and figure out what we want to do with ourselves and only have to worry about feeding the one person.
In the group cultures they are raised to grow up so that they are able to work and take care of the parents and other family members. They can't dick around and experiment like us because they are expected to have food on their families' table by 5 pm.

Firstly, hubby monitors and questions every cent spent from joint accounts, often getting frustrated by money being sent back home.
Alternately, wifey receives a household budget to spend as she sees fit including spending money. If the utilities are disconnected or there is no food in the house then the SHTF. Otherwise, who cares if she spent any money left over on new shoes, a manicure or a new motorbike for her brother? Regardless of where the money went or when it ran out, there is no top up. This is the low stress option for hubby as its amazing how few dying uncles and marvelous business opportunities there are when its her cash being spent.
Cheers. G.

All the girls I met except a small percentage send money home. That small percentage are the ones whose family has enough money, Farm, property etc for support and spent money on her education.
Sometimes extended family of aunts and uncles take children under their wings.
I have no first hand experience regarding what happens after marriage because I never married from there. But talking to some of my girls who I dated and who got married westerners say they do send money to support their family. Ofcourse there are frictions with their spouses who fail to understand this because they grew up in a culture where once the child grows up they are on their own and the family does not expect anything except Christmas gifts. How the husband handles it is anyone's guess.

I know a pinay in the UAE who earn PHP35 k yet are always in debt as the family are so greedy and no other member of the family works. Another in Cebu where her family spend PHP40 k a month on average and she was doing tricks to get money for her food because 'the family is first and I must support them'.
For many it is the DNA or been brainwashed into them from birth.
Other as GE said are more capable of understanding everything and if they do support the family the expat has no clue (and some don't care or insist when marry they won't ever help).
We are all different flavours etc so depends on who the girl is etc.

I know of other pinays who send half of their monthly salaries home, leaving them 4-6 k a month to live on. They all say the same thing "I love my family". This the culture for some. I am saying to be aware of it and to deal with it. I am not against it myself but it would have to a manageable amount.
Of course as GE has stated not all are like this.

Posts: 3261Getting married?
I meet this wonderful 19 year old non-bargirl. Madly in love with her. Was going to marry her until I found out she is #6 of 13 children and both parents are alive!
$200 x 13 = $2600 monthly. LOL.
Currently looking for a girl friend who grew up in an orphanage.

The malls in the Maples area (always popular with recent immigrants) can make you think you are at a SM Mall in Manila sometimes.

Posts: 1192I actually know a Venezuelan engineer living in Canada, in the oil fields, but for her is limited choice professionally speaking. She rather takes the polar bears than the saudis I guess.

Having said that, my ex (engineer with MBA from top school working for Mckinsey) is in Madrid bracing for her second winter. Time will tell.
