The opinion of Filipinos middle and upper class regarding dating website is totally irrelevant, their concerns should be fight poverty and corruption so widespread in their country, almost I forgot they are the biggest beneficiaries from this situation.
Secondly every one is entitled to live and pursue whatever deemed more suitable in their lives, so for Filipinos women marry a foreigner is not an issue, after all internet is just another mean to connect and bring people together.

I know many Filipinos men have a lot of pride, but picking on women marrying foreigner is barking at the wrong tree, their pride should be the incentive to improve the country as whole.

It is cheap to you beccause you are narrowminded. Open-up up your “hard drive”, please… But for many who are wanting a relationship internet is one of the ways to go. hey, how many parties you went in a year, how many friends have introduced you to hot men? if youa re you are one lucky human specie. Desperate or not most human beings like companies for life if possible. Unless you are happy by yourself it’s also fine. But don’t judge what others do for love or for money.

Yeah it is CHEAP. I mean why don’t you guys work like normal people instead of slacking in front of your PCs surfing for somebody who is clearly desperate to look for a transaction (not a relationship) on-line.

Who cares what middle and upper class filipinos think?

They make up less than 10% of the population and are responsible to a large extent for the poverty that drives many of their women to marry Westerners, drives their young males and females overseas to work, and through their corruption and inability to organize the country economically keep the Philippines down.

I hope you find love. Please never exclude any of your options, someone who loves you very much may be right under your nose but you’ll never know if you are color blind. Love doesn’t have to be caucasion.

I have this friend in San Jose who met her husband through the internet. People are so busy here so it is inevitable that they increase the prospects of finding their true love by joining groups. When I first met the couple, they had just been married. They were both working for technology companies in the Bay Area. Then, a year later, I was romping with their toddler at a community center. They’re happy, blissful, and contented. Matchmaking their backgrounds, their interests, and locality (they lived in the same county) made it easy for them to meet in person.

So, you see, you can find love on the internet — just as you can find love crossing the street with a friend (and yes, that’s how I met my Caucasian husband, in the streets of San Francisco).

There are no hard and fast rules to finding true love. It just is.

P.S. Geri, it would be great to meet you during my next visit to Chicagoland (I go there every month).
