Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

Ok, mi have one topic....

Why do you think it is that there are large concentrations of one or the other gender marrying certain nationalities???

Ie, with American/Jamaican marriages, the WOMAN is most often AMERICAN same for MENA and African marriages, in Russian/American marriages, the MAN is most often American and the same for Filipino/American relationships.....

You know I have thought about this a lot and haven't really come to a good conclusion. I know they discuss this all the time in the MENA and Russia forum and have quite a varying degree of what they thing contributes to such a vast difference in certain genders seeking other nationalities. Not sure what I think about it all...I am going to have to think on this more.

i think american men go after filipino women because they have a stereotype of being very biddable, meaning they are willing to let the men run things and and the women run the house.

men want russian women because they are viewed as being very pretty...almost exotic...

plus it is more sociable exceptable for a male to come home with a flipino wife and russian wife vvs the other way around.

With that it's every man and pickney for themself cause mi go back to bed

boy u been sleeping a lot nowadays, u sure is just sick u sick?

I only know 2 such women, from VJ, and I didn't get that impression from them. They were pretty vocal around their men.

I only know one filipino woman (not from VJ) married to this doctor I work with and she seems pretty outgoing and vocal too?.....Might not be the norm but I got the impression she feels pretty comfortable interacting with all of us from work but then again, I only know that one example

Trelawny and Marlita - I hope your NOA2s soon come

We're still waiting for Damien's NOA1...he went to his biometrics appointment this morning. His CG expires April 10th.

DITTO

heck yeah, Filipinas are vocal!! I grew up with them, live around them and they are bout as vocal as a sistah!

ou have to have that at your wedding....tradition!

yes.gif Mannish water is sooooo yummy!

Welcome back Rhonda!!! luv.gif

Hope you start feeling better D heart.gif

Yuk!! Mannish wata smells good, but oh no the things floating around in it... no0pb.gif

Yuck Mannish eww. Hubby and I were so disappointed. The soup was served cold too. Luckily the villa chef made me pumpkin soup for the rehearsal dinner that night. She we asked for jerk pork and chicken and we didnt get that either bummer. We got brown stewed chicken and roast pork. We can do that in the states I guess thats why we were disappointed. Hubby says he is going straight to the Pork Pit when he gets back and he is going to gain lots of weight he misses the food. He told me he would never miss the food once he came up and I laughed when he told me he could survive on Mac and cheese and tuna fish sandwiches.

haha! girl you crazy!! We had the mannish at the wedding too. I don't know who all ate it, but it smelled so good I think my family tried it they said they did. I DID NOT! I don't eat too much meat anyhow so u wasnt getting me to down a goat head.

There's this pork place in Negril in Redground that is soooo good. its a little hole in the wall spot next to this bar and i love eating there at night with a red stripe. They just wrap the jerk pork in foil and go.man I miss that stuff!

But I am feeling good right now at this point. Are you surviving being back at work? It is good to have you back. Have a wonderful weekend!

Rhonda, I think she looks SO much like her dad!

Thanks Some say she looks like Tony, some think she looks like me. She has his nose and my eyes! I love her blue eyes - I hope they don't change color!

Wow we just had this discussion and I was saying our girl is going to get my blue eyes and he said that is not possible. I told him about a student of mine who had blue eyes. He didn't believe me because brown eyes are dominate. Very neat

Jens I hope you and I both get to feeling better. I haven't been in that great of a mood either and being sick dosen't help any. Hubby had the nerve to say to me last night he's hungry and tired, When he came home from work. I'm like I'm hot and weak and do I look like I give a damn.

lol, i'm sure when u saw him, u were ready to give HIM, your dinner order!!!...men...

Now I am getting hungry. Yum I love when you can just get some chick in a foil packet with some bread late at night. I know I wont be getting any of that when I go back unless Grandma babysits here.

Hubby is getting more over protected now saying no climbing Dunns River Falls or jumping off cliffs. Bummer I like the fall places.

Yeah we have not done this in awhile how did everybody meet their SO? Great question.

I meet hubby when I went down on a JANUARY teaching course with my college. He was in high school and I taught his high school band. We didn't really talk on my first trip. I feel in love with teaching down there and changed my major. Then I went back several times. They had another trip in June for the band festival and he was graduating that summer. We final linked up and became friends in 1/99 and started dating in 2000. He wanted to date in 99 but I told him he had to be the legal age

lol, glad u waited, and no one had to bail u out of jail....

leads me to a question....is it just me or even though some of our S/O are younger, that they seem very mature....when i met mr jengles in talking to him, i was surprised how together he was, setting and meeting goals and all that and in talking to him, i never really noticed the age difference, he's 8 yrs younger than me, but sometimes i feel like i'm 8 yrs younger than him. cause i like to party and he likes to stay home.

which is how i met him, i went up to him and asked him, where was the party?? he was probably looking at me thinking, farrin women brayzen

i did a search on eye colors...i found this site....according to this site Kayla will have brown eyes.....because Blue is a recesive gene...
