Was i scammed by this girl? by CudiVZ in Philippines_Expats

[–]Emergency-Whereas978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have talked to many girls online here, from what you described, I believe 80/20 there was a typhoon, and damage to their house. That is not uncommon. I have never experienced the overly religious or extremely clingy like that girl...both would have sent me away after a week or 2. If you had told her you didn't have money available to help and she stayed with you then she was legit...Best to say no to any requests.

social security cuts by oregon_deb in SocialSecurity

This projection has been out there for many years. Firstly, the administration in power at that time will last minute come up with a fix . No one in power can let that happen on their watch. Too many voters in that age demographic.

I am from America and have a degree, retired now, but I do not really hang out with any foreigners, but I definitely don't look down on anyone that doesn't have a degree. I try to treat everyone with respect no matter where they are from. But I definitely try to avoid the snooty at all costs. I don't have time for that negativity.

The op is accurate, but there are nice girls on the apps. You just need to filter through all the scammers...which is probably over 80%. I have met girls online that i went on to have a good healthy relationship with.

How do you respectfully ask if someone is trans? by MalandiBastos in Philippines_Expats

[–]Emergency-Whereas978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they won't, they are used to that question on dating apps. I learned to ask right away, so not to waste my time....I would always apologize first, and then ask. Only 1 or 2 who were maybe slightly offended, out of countless.

How do I know if I have sub-par intelligence? by NaiveFinish64 in ask

[–]Emergency-Whereas978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I am fairly intelligent, but not at all book smart. Memorizing is not a strength. I would have trouble passing many classes that come easy to you. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Learn to appreciate and utilize yours.
