Hey guys,
Just thought I would share something that happened last week. When I first started this journey over a year ago, the first girl that responded to my letters was a girl from Cali. So we wrote to each other for months, as I did with several other women, including my fiance. There was a minor problem from the getgo, she wasn't really the same girl in the picture i ordered. In reality, she was not my type as far as looks go...when i say that, there was no way she was 'the one' for me. But, I will say that she was the sweetest girl that I corresponded with. I thought she was very sincere, as a matter of fact she seemed to truly have an interest in being friends as she realized a long time ago that i was not interested in a relationship with her.
Anyway, I told her about my engagement over six months ago. She would still write, mainly just to say hello and thank me for being her friend, tell my dog hello or whatever. I would respond saying thanks, but went out of my way to let her know we were pen pals only.
Anyway, just this last week or two, she wrote me an email that said she was having extreme abdominal pain and even gave the disorder she had. The name of it was unbeknowst to me, so I had my secretary look up the name of the disease on WebMD. I turned out to be a name which I never heard before but after reading the description, I guess I started to feel sorry for her and sent the money she asked for for an emergency operation. OK, that was fine and I did follow up with her to see if she was OK...she said she was still sick and that she now had a blood infection that was very serious. Well, I felt I was doing the right thing. Even though I didn't know her, I was faced with the possibility that she truly was in trouble and I could maybe help, as according to her, she had no where else to turn. I truly had no alterior motive to help outside of the guilt I felt if she were telling the truth and I didn't do anything, when I was able. I was just trying to do what i thought was right.
Sooooo, a few days later, she said she needed $200 more bucks to finish the last blood therapy. After this, I decided that I would not help her under ANY circumstances....What happened? Low and behold there it came...the last ditch effort to get more money....she had a 'friend', who that was I'll never know. She told me that Andrea had 'lost all will to live' and was seriously depressed and all the other good BS that they had.
I am somewhat pissed at myself, but as always it was a lesson well learned by me. Obviously, I'm not happy or proud I got sucked into this. I've been having flashbacks on typical AW and their scheming, manipulative BS. I post this to give you some insight on how even us 'vets' can get played down there. Hopefully this will help others realize how some of these women operate. God only knows how many men she did this too...and once again, her BS was EXTREMELY GOOD....and I feel like I can normally sniff that crap out....just some feedback for my fellow gringos....
Here are some examples of the letters I recieved from her:
Mike, on my exams i have a little problem with my sugar, for this i'm now on the hospital for take a special diet, and i have some "bad" things because my blister is very inflamete today, the doctor says that if my blister isn't inflamate for the morning the scare will be biggest.... i don't like this...but now isn't important.
On 8pm i'll take my last medicine for the pain and maybe the nurses likes to sleep me, because i'm nervouse how i'm alone here ...but i think that i have a better friend in whatever place... Some day...i think that we meet, you with your wife and childs and me too, but we always will be friends.
Thank you Mike, i need to go now

Here is another that her 'friend' wrote yesterday:
"Sr. Myke:
Soy amiga de andrea, ella continua en el hospital, el medico ha dicho que ella ha perdido las ganas de recuperarse, nadie sabe por que.Lamentablemente he hablado muy poco con ella, al parecer no tiene defensas en la sangre y por eso tiene que continuar
con el tratamiento. Hoy he llegado a Cali y por eso le escribo, ella lleva 7 dias en el hospital y debe continuar aya, hoy la visite y pregunta por usted, creo que no ha llamado porque hubiera dejado su mensaje, no se si me entienda mucho, pero yo estoy preocupada, no puedo estar aqui mucho tiempo por mi
trabajo y no puedo ayudarla mucho, ahora esta en la fase final de su tratamiento y no puede suspenderlo, los medicos necesitan continuar atacando la infeccion en la sangre, solo quiero saber si usted puede ayudarla de nuevo porque yo no, estoy cerca del hospital y debo volver a verla porque ella se siente muy sola... La fase final del tratamiento cuesta $ 300 US, puede usted ayudarla ahora? No se como es esto, pero se que usted ha sido su angel por estos dias tan malos que ella pasa. Voy a esperar una respuesta suya y luego voy para el hospital.
Gracias, y no se que mas decirle.
Johana"
The Female mind will never cease to amaze me!! Hopefully, you guys will be able to avoid making the same mistake i did.
Later,
Mike
