I feel for the guy, but 100K pesos to someone he never met in person??? He might have got off cheap considering this might keep him from traveling to the RP. Not saying the RP is loaded with more scammers then any other country, but the pros and semi-pros in the RP could really do a number on a guy like this. After living in a remote area of the RP for a while I got lonesome for American converstation, so I started approaching every American I saw to have a chat. A big handful of them where living life in a scam. They where broke or near broke waiting on their SSI check to hit the bank. Some of these guys where getting between 40 to 50 thousand pesos a month. Now in Manila that might not be huge money, but in the province an American can live 80%kano/20% pinoy style and be very comfortable with that kind of cash. All these dudes had one thing in common and entorouge of pilipinos at their side. They didn't have the ability to say NO, and couldn't understand Bisaya. Eventhough the scam was obvious to me and Kugeng, it seem to totally eluded these fellows even though they had been in the RP for years.

Is it sad? Yap, but these guys are at fault also.

You are absolutely right on this one....

we (males) are fooling ourselves that all of sudden we have this beautiful young girl next to our side and it does not come with a price attached to it...

even more fools think that age difference "is not important"....someone in the early 20 something marrying/engaging someone close to 40 or something in that range.

Anything above 5 or 6 years difference in age is the same all over the world, no difference in RP, no difference in US. Wait until the newcomer get acclimated to the custom of the new country and will understand perfectly what i mean.

We (the fools!!!) are just buying time....that is all.

Some smarter fools get more time out of their deals some get less....

I disagree with the statement anything above 5 or 6 years age difference is the same all over the world. The US and Europe are the exceptions with a 2 year age gap.

"In the less developed, traditional societies, males were as much as 5-to-15 years older than their female partners. In the United States and Europe, the age spread was about two years." quoted in Science in the News.

Many societies such as Asian countries, Mediterranean countries, and Russia have women marrying more mature men. Also, women in many countries who are not married by age 30 have little hope of getting married to man from their own country. Basic human needs are the same but social structures dictates the cultural beliefs.

Now marrying someone in their early twenties is usually asking for trouble.

Not disagreeing with you completely....but there are always exceptions in many culture situations but...

for a moment.....just one moment, let reverse the roles here.....as a male would you marry a woman 10 to 15 years older then you?

Most will say......"NO"....now what make anyone thinks that from a woman point of view that is any different?

As you say " social structures dictates the cultural beliefs".....

yes, exactly the point i was trying to make that while he/she may be forced (for what ever circumstance) to marry someone older...

once outside that social structure ( ie...moving to another country) most of the culture believes goes by the wayside as the person get acclimated to the new surrounding and new social structures....

That's pocket change compared to meeting a woman in the USA, and getting a divorce.

It will run 10 to 20 times that much in USA

WORD...........Sometimes its cheaper to keep her here in America

poor guy, what the heck s going on with him. thats stupidity to sent money to the people you dont even see in person or in a webcam

Pretty standard scam. I've seen beautiful woman in cafes in PI on cam with BF or hubby out of sight coaching the pinay what to say.

One group even had mom with her 2 daughters on different computers coaching both at the same time.

Sucker born every second!

Also 1 case in Cebu where the American went over and married a beautiful pinay and ended up finding a snake between the 'Pinay/pinoys/ legs.

I'll see if I can find the news release.
