Posts: 4051The concept of time having no value is not restricted to random hook-ups; it's a ubiquitous characteristic here. Today I had what I thought was a doctor's appointment at 3 PM. When I arrived, about five minutes early, the corridor outside his office probably had twenty patients waiting to see him. In the outer office there were another ten or so patiently waiting. His secretary told me she would call me when he could fit me in. I asked if she was kidding and left. Two weeks ago, I walked out of a restaurant after waiting to meet a luncheon appointment who exceeded my fifteen minute wait time limit.
I don't think any of us will ever change this aspect of the culture and I imagine that the locals cannot I pretend our obsession with timeliness so ne'er the twain will meet I guess. I do know that I will never accept the lack of respect for other people's time. I no longer get upset. I just leave.

Posts: 16038Finally someone who stands up to women instead of being a cream puff. A sure sign that one is "used to" women and not going to let one chick make or break him.
Pinay like to use that word strict. Damn right I am strict when it comes to my time. I can get more money, but once time is wasted I can't get that back.

H: "You are beeing so strict".
M: "good, so you learn, there is no difference in time anywhere in the world and 3 pm is 3 pm and I told you many times (be on time be on time)".
H: "huh".
M: "huh does not mean anything. Its just some stupid way of replying you don't understand shit".
This stupid bird tried play me as in I adviced her many times 1 pm, 1:30 pm and 2 pm she must get ready. After 2 pm she suddenly stop replying and have the nerve to text me back at 4 pm "sorry I just had to get my niece girl from school, that's why I am late". I told her by then the session cancelled ofcourse. She must have been thinking I was a shmuck and I guess the reason she can put up with this is bcs actually some guys are fine with this as long as a girl come. Putting up with such an act will not improve their managing of time. On my question to her on why she did not tell me upfront she could not be here by our 3 pm appointment she simply answered: "I think its not so important and we had agreement this afternoon". Me telling her if she just informed me upfront everything would be ok bcs also I know things can happen but playing the silent game against me was a bad decission. She understood then that we neverd meet.
I clock in girl number 3(in which i can remember)beeing late out of many hundreds on time girls. This one trying to play my good act, god knows what she was doing. So still the stats are realy realy good but you need to play as a hard rock gents. Don't let them girls be in control no matter what. Only 20 min away there will be new girls wanting to come (as I've had to use an emergency girl today). No worries. But I get pissed off beeing treated like a moron (mongerer is ok but no moron). I stood my ground, next please. Dont take it as i have problem with latecommers but i guess me not having this problem makes me adress this happening stronger. I guess no system is perfect.

However he never attempted to acculturate himself to her culture (daaa, nyet, and spasiba were beyond him), never went back to visit her family, and openly didn't care about her family. She quickly turned into the queen beeyatch. 5 years later they were divorced. No kids. Before the storm, just after the honeymoon, I remember him offering up this advice (at the time I had to pinch myself to keep myself from laughing at him): "Never marry an uneducated woman. Always find a woman you can carry on stimulating conversation Westy. Doesn't matter if she can cook, you can always eat out. But you will be bored with her if you can't carry on good conversation, and that will ruin your marriage". Coming from a man who had been dumped by every female in his adult years, I found any relationship advice given by him should be taken with a grain of salt. His divorce finalized last year (interestingly, the girl got very little money).
Fast-forward to a few nights ago. Having dinner at a restaurant with him, he mused the following advice: "You know Westy, if you ever get married, find an uneducated woman who actually likes to keep a tidy home, cook, and openly likes sex. Shouldn't matter if she speaks English very well, just a bit is OK". Really? "Ya. A smart woman is trouble once she learns the American way of how things are done here". Really! Hahaha. Doesn't his most recent advice sound like many pinay? And, big fella, isn't that the opposite of what you told me 7 years ago? "F*ck you Westy. And give me the number of that girl you use sometimes. The co-ed".
Ha!

Posts: 1426Dcups is right. Me too are not worried about if pinays lie to me or not or if they cheat. I do my fair share of cheating to my GF back home so I am the worst they get. Pretending to be single here is the way to go. I could never, and don't want, have an all in pinay GF. Even if my GF back home is 25% pinay she is born and raised in my countries with our fonducts and morals (I am too but I am destroyed). If she is true or not to me I would not know. I for sure would go easy on her if I found out something due to my own behaviour.

Been in China for a long time (13 years) and ready to see something different.
Any start kits? Hahaha.

Posts: 4051So let's see if I get this: almost 90% of Filipinas are unfaithful which we tacitly --and somewhat sneeringly--judge as morally corrupt, but the guys who come here to shag 4,5 or even 6,women over a two-day period are admirable, macho studs. Have I got this right? Wonder what the word for hypocracy is in Tagalog.
GE.
