The "rich foreigner" myth
A foreigner in the Philippines does not have to flash any cash, or show off with a "fancy" hotel room for the locals to assume he is rich. I'm sure that every guy that has spent any amount of time in the country has heard someone that does not even know them state "He can afford it. He's an (insert nationality here)." I can't count how many times I have heard those phrases. And I have not been there nearly as often as many members of this board. A previous Filipina gf once told me that all Filipinos believe that anyone, even another Filipino, that has been living abroad, is rich. She also told me that all the girls fantasize about how big the foreigner's penis is. :D For some reason, she wasn't very thrilled at my suggestion that I would help all of her girlfriends, cousins, and sisters have a better understanding of the American penis. :rolleyes:
