Met a nice 29 year old, very sweet lady on chat last night,
i know i know chat is not the best way to meet,
but she is very intelligent, easy to talk to , lives in Makati
     I will cross my fingers, take my time, and see how it goes.
I may even get off my butt and actually VISIT the phils...LOL

I have 'met' three pinays on IRC that I have been interested enough in to continue to correspond with, out of approximately 110 ladies that I have chatted with.  It can be a good way to get introduced, although there do seem to be many immature and/or insincere ladies chatting and it seems like that percentage has been increasing lately.

As long as you go into it with open eyes, I do not think it is significantly worse than other ways to get introduced, although I do still prefer the traditional introductions by friends.

One of the ladies that I am corresponding with seems a little questionable, since her claimed age has drifted a bit, but the other two seem to have hearts of gold.

Who knows, if we still seem interested in each other I may be in Cebu in July...

I chatted with several hundred ladies also on mIRC and wrote maybe 10 of those I chatted with.  Several started out looking to be good contacts but then fizzled.  Others didn't look good like good contacts and got a lot better.  But once I met Marissa I stopped chatting with the rest within a few weeks.
One thing I like abt her is when we chatted she only chatted with me and stopped all the others.  I thought that was great to be so devoted to me.

One only chats with me, and is aware that I do chat with others.  She seems to be a very nice lady, and I find that I am chatting less with the others.  Maybe in a few months I will know more.

I agree, i love Mirc, you get everything from A to Z
but i want to go visit the phils soon.

I think that chat can be useful when you begin the process because it allows you to converse with a large number of filipinas with different ages and backgrounds. You can quickly learn the differences between them.  In your initial post about chat, you said that you wanted a lady who would only have you as a bf.  With chat, you should be aware that these women are chatting with many men and they have more opportunities to meet American men than they would have through the correspondence route.

... in response to Outwest.........uhhhhhhhhhh......., posted by Stephen on Apr 1, 2001

why, becuase i met someone on chat? There are several
married successful couples on the board who met that way.
Its just an introduction, nothing more, and it would have
to be backed up by a successful meeting in person,,,whats
wrong with that?

... in response to Re: Outwest.........uhhhhhhhhhh......., posted by outwest on Apr 1, 2001

Isn't the chat room method the way you met the lady a couple of months ago that is now a gold-digger?

And isn't the chat room method the way you met the lady last month that is now a gold-digger?

Your batting average is not good on the "chat-room" method.  At first I thought you were just joking about finding this new lady in the chat room.

Go fishing at another pond (i.e., try a different approach such as pen pals, etc.)

Its the same as if you met a gold digger in the phils
and your friend said ..maaaaaan, dont ever go out with
a filipina again, are you crazy.
    Or if you met a AW b@#tch, and someone in another
country said, maaaaaan, all AW are bad,
   
    Yes i know i need to go visit the phils I plan to
But i dont exactly want to go over and wander around the
malls and the airport asking strange women on dates.
    You seem to generalize to an extreme, So wat if i met
a bad woman on chat before, so what? It means nothing,

First, you MUST go to the Philippines and not just once! Second, while chat-room romances MAY work, they are not the best way to find a partner. I am at the point where I'll add to my list of "requirements": no e-mail, no cell-phone!!! (OK, I am exaggerating a bit, but not much ;-)

Hi cc,

I think that I found a lady off of your "new" list. ;o)) I didn't set out to. Just lucky I guess! I owe you one...big time! ;o)

Good luck,

Hi Dave, I am a bit "slow" this morning - are you saying that you are corresponding with one of "my" penpals? Each of the girls I visited last month has 20+ penpals, so I wouldn't be surprised if eventually we find guys on this board writing to the same "honey"....

Or are maybe you are simply saying that you found someone who hasn't e-mail nor cell phone???

... in response to Re: The cc list..., posted by cc on Apr 1, 2001

Hi cc,

My fiancee is very low tech. She doesn't own a cellphone or know how to send text messages. Her sister has helped her email me twice from an Internet cafe, when she was home from college. My fiancee is waiting for her sister to return, to teach her how to email me again. ;o)

I wonder how much $$$ they can rake out of 20 plus  pen pals!?  lol ;-)  Humabdos

If one golddigger internet user can tell the same sob story (a gross exaggeration from the truth) and entices each of the 20 to feel sorry for her (each guy not knowing that she has multiple pen-pals, but thinking she's serious with one man), and each sends an average of $15 at about the same time, she receives $300.  Now, exchanging that for pesos will yield roughly P14,000.  Perhaps roughly 3 months of wages.

Quite a way to make a living, huh!  What a lucrative business!  Well, I think the means to accomplish that abundance is downright disgusting.

You never can tell if that person on the net is someone who is shy and uncomfortable with the opposite sex...the type that could be bubbly and smart with family and friends but would totally clam up when in front of men....

Maybe,  that's her way of getting over that shyness.....and just speaking freely and intelligently....

But, of course, there are also those that you gentlemen, have written so much about....the vultures, the golddiggers, and the like....

Outwest,  you are mature and intelligent enough to know when the right one comes along.  So, give it a chance, you never know when you'll finally meet that ONE SPECIAL PERSON...*s*
