eexss: just go to SM Mall at Sta. Mesa. Sit in the coffee shop. Everytime my wife leaves me alone there girls come and sit down asking if I am alone and secondly married. Filipina are always concerned about our status and welfare. And trust me my prime was passed many years ago. Sure you will do just fine. What could go wrong? LOL

There must be several mosques in Manila. I'll bet you could find more than a few match makers there. Good luck.

I'm 60 years old and it's not uncommon for younger ladies to ask me if I'm married. When I tell them that I am married they then ask if I have a brother or friend that is not married. It won't be hard, but be careful. A friend married a cute little Pinay girl and after 3 weeks she tried to kill him while he was sleeping. Turns out she is a sociopath.

Charkee, how much time did he actually spend with the girl before he married her?

Please don't take offence but I don't think anyone would introduce a girl to a man they don't know anything about at all. A Filipino family might offer but that would be for financial benefits I would think.
I would not introduce any girl I know to a man I know absolutely nothing about and never met. As said before go to a mall or to your place of woeship and you will probably meet a girl yourself. As I said before I mean no offence to your good self whatsoever

catabisis He spent 2 years on line, came to the Phils and married. Returned to the USA and started processing the papers., another 2 years.

She came with high recommendations from her church and its members. But on a one on one basis we all warned him he should get to know her better.

She fled after he fought her off and is nowhere to be found. Somebody somehow found her on facebook with a changed name and married to another man. No bother for annulment or divorce.

The police then tried to find her again, but so far nothing.

"Nowhere to be found........" LOL
Yep, you really have to get to know her and her family first, and, not just a meeting. If not then you are in for a rude awakening later.
I do like that, "go to the SM and sit down for coffee and just wait." It is true.
I get many looks, and I am 61, but all the locals know I am married to a well known woman.
As for "....in Manila," I would be extra careful and take plenty of time.

clarkee - When my wife went to the Multicultural Centre on Vancouver Island for her English lessons, they brought in an East Indian lawyer who explained to all the women (one man, NL) that you can leave you husband without reason and get half his assets including his pension. Women rule in Canada, particularly lawyers, so if your not a 100% trophy male, get a prenup or some kind of insurance. I have a generous survivor benefit for my pinay wife which I pay dearly on each month they deduct from my pension. I can cancel this at any point and get all the money back. I'm not worried about my wife leaving me because our love is SOLID, but I also wanted her looked after should I pass and fend off other much richer Canucks that would like to have her for their own, most of which would want a prenup and wouldn't be generous if they had a pension. I just pointing out that you have to exercise the laws of attraction. But there are sociopath Filipina;s too. References aren't worth much in my book. The day to day emotional intensity does. Plastic play things break and become litter. Transactional love is only as good as the transaction competing with other possible transactions. Unconditional love is the only real thing.
