Actually it isn't best.  If you are going to go long term with a person then one must be sure they are compatible in everyway and being sexually compatible can make or break a marriage.

 

I remember many years ago I chatted with a girl for about 3 months, we had the best of times and chatted almost daily, got along great, she was attractive, came from a good family, had a degree in nursing, and was about 22 years old.

 

I made my trek over there and flew to her province, decided to stay at her house in her room, it was a nice house the father was a seaman and they had a nice house with aircon in most rooms.  After spending almost 2 weeks with her I found out we didn't have the chemistry that was needed at least for me to make her a wife.   It was sad to leave her but  knew I wouldn't be happy long term.

 

 

I get what you are saying, but asking her to go outside of her comfort level is not good either. I still agree with "ask her."

Mahalo/Salamat!

If my wife's whole family met me at the airport and wanted to stay at the hotel with us I would have turned around and got back on the plane))))

Finally done...

Most of my wife's immediate family did meet me at the airport ...   Thankfully they all went home after dropping us at the condo I had rented.

My wife's brother and wife came with her to the airport then promptly left. My wife (fiance) was 30 so she really didn't need a chaperone) The best stories are when the extended family shows up and the Kano is expected to provide lodging and food for all))))

Same here .. my wife was in her 30s when we started the madness.    

 

I did end up with a trip to MOA and buying lunch for everyone during that visit.   Did a few rides with the kids kind of thing along the "boardwalk" .. actually a good day

Exactly

 

I have seen way too many guys who go to the Philippines and get played for a "sucker".  The girl will either bring a bunch of friends and want to Kano to pay all the expenses.  They will want to go to all the high dollar restaurants.

 

Or they will bring the family and expect the Kano to foot the bill for lodging, food, etc.  I got no time for people or families like that in the PHilippines.  Nothing but parasites from what I have seen.

I actually have the opposite problem.  My wife's family pays for everything.  I have to assert myself to contribute or treat.  I find that a good problem to have. 

Any available sisters left?  :devil:
