      @@Stafford-d8u The ones pulling this crap are online scammers, and regular girls that learn it from others. Just cancel all ties with them and move to another. There are millions to choose from if you take care of yourself first, mentally and physically. No need to be a gym rat, just don't be a fat slob. Be clean. Don't be really nice. Don't do things or go places that weren't your idea, or something that really interests you. Trust me, I know. I've wasted valuable time and resources on the wrong ones before.

    From my experience this is very good advice, the people I’ve helped in the past that have fallen into the relief rehab and develop categories are still friends and value me as a friends also. One may become a partner next year. On the contrary when I was very generous I was not respected lied to and was subject to attempts of gaslighting and manipulation. Needless to say they are no longer in my life despite occasional attempts by them to emotionally pull me back in. It’s a fine line but you have captured it precisely, well done !!

    Many men don't realize is that what you said is very true, whatever you do for any woman it is irrelevant the day after. The reason men can't comprehend this is that between men this isn't true, we internally carry and tit for tat with our male friends and a true friend does not let it get out of balance. For woman it's what have you done for me lately because no matter how much effort or money you did before, it means nothing.

    I have put 4 Filipinas through college (so far), and I will probably do so again, every year. I have never met any of them IRL, nor do I intend to. Schools in the PH are *ridiculously* cheap compared to the US. I pay their tuitions/exams/fees directly to the schools, and I get regular report cards to prove that they're doing well. All four are very smart, ambitious, honest young women who will, I have no doubt, help many others. One (who got a BA in hospitality management) is already in junior management at a resort, another (who went to culinary school) is a chef on a cruise ship. Both are supporting their families. Of the other 2, one is a senior, the other is a junior. All 4 of them had GPAs of 3.4 or above.
    If you don't think I take great pride in how well they are doing, and how they never could've done it without my help, you'd be wrong.
    edit: I didn't say any of this to try to claim how good I am (I'm nothing special), but just to point out that to suggest that by helping a Filipina you're actually harming her by not giving her incentive to overcome her problems on her own, is FAR too simplistic. It does a disservice to those Filipinas who are ready to succeed, but could never manage to afford college, which can doom some of them (and their families) to perpetuate multigenerational poverty. Please take each one on a case-by-case basis, and try to recognize potential. Be smart (don't just send them however much money they ask for), and insist upon evidence of their performance and results. If it works out, it's extremely rewarding and satisfying.

      "we don't really understand people just living day to day , trying to survive"
      And those that you _don't_ see are the ones who *haven't* survived, and turned to prostitution, drug abuse or suicide. But let's not talk about them; they're a downer. Let's just talk about the conniving freeloaders who we (obviously) shouldn't help, and paint everyone else with the same brush, right?

    I think if a western man wants a relationship with a Filipina, he should help her, we know how poor the country is, and how a little to us is a lot to them. It would be selfish not to help, and just stand by and watch them struggle with necessities. My g/f is a teacher, and I help her with some things for her students, like paper, pens, and an occasional pizza or other things to make their lives a little better. She says that some of the kids have never had pizza before, and they're happy to get anything. No regrets here at all.

    If I went to the Philippines I would need a concierge, a tour guide, and probably a housekeeper. I would happily pay for those services and thereby "help" those willing to work and add value to my life. If it happens that those services are all done by the same person who is also pretty and likes to spend time with me, that's a win win.

    I give enough support to take away angst about starvation. It is not all that much. The first rule of helping the needy is to help them to help themselves. If you give more than a semi subsistence you are going to kill all of their survival instincts. The need to survive is the only thing that gets us out of bed everyday be we rich or poor.
