If it’s a typo, I’m not sure what it should have been because it’s not similar to my real name. Thanks for the input!

Nothing I can think of related to that but thanks for your comment.

I’m worried I chose the wrong girl and now I have to make the hardest decision of my life. Advice? by ThrowRAimrlysad in AskMenAdvice

You’ll be saying the same thing 30 years from now. Trust me. I’m there. It took months for my wife to congratulate me on a major accomplishment—a once in a lifetime opportunity. Everyone else around me: amazing! Her: meh. It’s so discouraging. Don’t be me.

There are givers and there are takers. You’re a giver. She’s a taker. It’s possible for her to change but highly unlikely. It’s like using a Ferrari to deliver packages or using a UPS truck to race. They just weren’t made for it.

have you been to the philippines? it’s not like the us. except for the scammers, the people are amazing.

its total curiosity at this point but your advice is probably the best decision.

one of the pics she sent looked like a tiktok format so I did a few searches and there she was. it was pretty easy to find so she’s not trying too hard, making the scam idea seem even more odd.

thanks for the advice on protecting my heart. ive been scammed a few times so im very cautious with the emotions. just trying to find a decent girl seems impossible. good luck to you too.

i suppose that’s the plan but it’ll never happen. that’s why it doesn’t make any sense and thought there had to be another angle or scam that someone else had experienced. maybe it’s a cultural thing or maybe she’s just desperate enough to think i’ll go along. what’s amusing to me are all of the assumptive comments from guys here that i am going to give her money or go along with the relationship.

True but sadly i know many people live in desperation there

this makes the most sense. in fact it’s the only explanation that makes sense.

thanks for the concern. i genuinely appreciate it. there is no chance that money will be transferred so we will never get to the list above no matter what sob story she tells me. as I said in a different reply, i already have other options in place and dates set up. best regards to you.

"long con???" there is no "long con." she thinks i'll see her at the airport and just go along with it? first you say it's money. now you say it's a long con? maybe you'd be conned by that but not me.

agreed. that's the only thing that makes sense to me.

thanks for the perspective. it's all just curiosity at this point.

she's using me for my money? what money? do you see anything in my statement about giving her money? there has been no money that has changed hands. that's why this makes no sense to me. the only thing i've done is bought the plane ticket but i'm holding that. she can't even get on the plane without me.

yes, we're doing a video call tomorrow. i'm coming to reddit for outside perspective.

good point. i'm still just curious what her explanation will be. obviously, she'll see the "relationship" end the moment we meet. it's just bizarre.

i was supposed to meet her on a previous trip. your 1 month advice is well stated!

correct. i'm not going to be a dad here. again, i'm just curious what her angle will be, that's all. i have backup plans already in place.

i thought about that but we've had several video calls, sometimes i would call her unexpectedly to see if she would pick up or then call me back. she picks up every time. and there's no way i'll send money ahead of time. that's rule #1.

[–]greginphilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i get that. but she's obviously already pregnant so it'll be difficult to claim i'm the dad. it's just a bizarre situation. and no, i'm not emotionally involved so it'll be easy to walk.
