... in response to Recommended sites for personal ads..., posted by Frank O on Feb 17, 2003I don't know Frank - I was lucky in filipinaheart. I could post my profile, chat on their chat line and view all the ladies I want without paying extra for their addresses.
I could e mail em in that site using their email system give any lady my address and get her address email and phone number with out extra charge. But I gota tell you I am new to this forum see what the others say. I did check out lots of others and settled down with this one. Now I get free addresses, email addresses and phone numbers sent to me with pictures 100 at a time with asianwomenseekingsinceremen@yahoogroups.com
They check if you are ok first and then send you everything free. I think they make money on the side with sponsors and visa help or maybe tours. My 2c worth is you gota meet face to face before anything serious starts. I had a horror story of a gale I met after e mailing her for months. When we met nothing happened! I paid for her to come miles from home meet me and now what? Also it is very tempting to send money. They have so many reasons why you should send them money. If you really get to like one of them a modest 15bucks for e mail is ok with me. It is more expensive in Manila but in Cebu it was 20 pesos for an hour. Plus the jeepnee fare roundtrip 10 peso. When I was there it was 53pesos for a dollar. So figure 3 bucks per week. That could be 2 days pay for them and a little money to send them is ok. Speed of the computers for downloading is about half the speed of ours back home sometimes slower. They usually will never tell you up front that they want you to send money. “ I go to the e mail everyday and have to ask my mom for bus fare and money for email it is very hard for me so I can only email you once a week “
“I tried to e mail you last week but my dad got sick, my sister got sick, my brother had to go to the hospital. You know I may not graduate from school this year, I don’t have the money for tuition” When I was in Cebu I went to the e mail café. No coffee only a bunch of computers with some under age young girls giggling. "Tell him you love him" hhehehehe. Some of the moms chat in place of their daughters. Some of them were nice looking and were mothers with 3 kids. It was suggested to me to go there and go shopping in the mall. Plenty of single gals just graduated from Collage looking for a fella. Ask some questions about a product see how she reacts. If you get some good vibs see her next day and ask for a date. All the gals I seen that e mailed me looked different than their pictures. Some better mostly worse. Surprisingly photos are so cheap over there. No excuse for a bad photo, no excuse at all. Either they are hiding something or to lazy to get a good photo. To me what I know now a bad photo can mean a red flag. This will put em to the test send em just enough to web cam themselves. This is not the view of the forum just my limited experience e mailing and visiting the PI for 21 days. If I would have to do it all over again I wouldn’t e mail anyone. I would go there, rent a house in one of the villages. Get introduced by families you will meet to their daughters, sisters, and cousins. Stay out of the hotels with the air and cable tv. If that’s what you came for you had that at home. If you like one of em eventually you gotta know how they live eat and shower anyway. Kinda like looking for a diamond in a coal mine. Gotta get down and digging with the rest of the gang before you find the diamond. When I was in the Hotel some of the Filipinas wouldn’t even come inside to meet me they stayed outside and waited for me to come out. I could go on and on but your not me and I am sure you would do it your way. Thought I’d share with you what I did. Did it pay off? Yes, I met one that I don’t believe I would have ever met on any site. Now I am back home and when I chat with her if I didn’t know her in person she would not be very impressive at all. Some of these great gals can’t communicate that well in e mail or chat lines. Some of the ones that do are very street smart which is not what I was looking for. Good luck Frank hope I didn’t confuse you see what the others say!!
