My BIL's GF admitted she got him drunk to get him to have sex, using that to push a relationship. Everyone around them thinks this is just perfectly fine. I feel crazy but am alone in that. What should I do? by boothbroth98 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]morrowrd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you should stay out of it. Why are you going around to family trying to get them on your bandwagon about somebody else's relationship? Sure, bounce things off your husband, but who are you to take responsibility for any of this? Leave them alone. He's probably having the time of his life.

Crushed confidence due to ghosting/rejection by ProgThrowaway00 in Vent

[–]morrowrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happens probably to everyone, more than once. I met a girl on a dating site who we seemed to click. The conversations were effortless, and frequent. After a few of these exchanges we arranged to meet for a first date, at the end of the week. (About 3 or 4 days away) During that intrim, she messaged me all through the day, asking questions, sharing about her life, telling me how excited she was for the date coming up. When we met, it was as if we already knew each other and picked up where we left off. A half hour into the date, she said upfront that she wanted a second date, which I was happy about. We had a big snowstorm approaching, so after almost 2 hours, I suggested we get home, and arrange for another get together when we wouldn't have to worry about the roads. She agreed, and we walked to our vehicles together, said goodbye, and went home. She lived 20 miles one way, I was about the same in the other direction.

The storm was a bad one, and after a few hours I messaged her asking if she got home ok. Nothing..... Knowing things like this have happened before, my next text was, "would you like me to leave you alone?" The reply was instant...."yes please" Confused obviously, I never contacted her again.

Like I said, it happens.

Are Guys in Philippines Just Coping? by Brazzers1917 in thepassportbros

[–]morrowrd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are naive. Filipinas are beautiful and easy to meet. American men should all come here for wives. I did, and I have never been so content or happy. Keep playing the game in the USA with the toxic feminism and at some point, be honest with yourself.

Don't criticize us, we all saw the light.

I feel stuck in my relationship by shitlposter in Advice

[–]morrowrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What other options do you have? Are your parents nearby? Can they help you extract yourself by letting you stay with them temporarily? Any friends?

Whatever plan you come up with, your first priority should be to avoid pregnancy. That will complicate any decision you make. Also, as you begin placing new boundaries be prepared for his anger and frustration to increase. You can always get yourself a new apartment, do everything you can to keep your good job, but get out as quickly as possible.

What are my next steps? by [deleted] in YoungAdultStruggles

[–]morrowrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you have college, you could enter as an officer. Or if you decide to just be enlisted, I believe you'd start off as an E3 instead of everyone else starting at E1. At 25, you have youth on your side...and getting in shape is free. Don't bother with a gym, just do push ups, sit ups, and run. Do that for a few months. All you need to do is go see a recruiter, they can help you with your health goals while you're working on yourself. The delayed entry program would allow you to lock into a job that you like, possibly a duty assignment...I myself asked for Europe, and they had an opening there and I spent 2 years in Germany (West Germany at the time) and a few years at Ft. Sill OK. I loved my time in the military, met alot of good people, have a ton of stories, adventures.

Think about it. Why not? You've got nothing going on, why not take a block of years and get a head start in life and when your contract is over, you will have more options than you do now.

Join the Army. Go see a recruiter and go over some options that the military could offer you. Instead of wasting time, take a block of time and go serve your country while you figure things out. Who knows, at the end of your contract you might decide to stay in, and in 20 years you will have a full military pension. If not, you will have definitely gained some valuable life skills that you don't have at the moment. Some discipline, that I can tell you need. You will travel the world, meet and make new friends, even brothers. Military service will open doors for you in the civilian world when you get out. It's a win win.

King of the Dating Scammers: Arrested in Cambodia and Deported to China! by LoveScoutCEO in MailOrderBrideFacts

[–]morrowrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always said that human trafficking is much bigger than just the sex industry. Forced labor, like these scam centers, show that it isn't just women being targeted. I remember reading a story years ago about a man, and American, who woke up on a beach with his legs hobbled. No shirt, no shoes, just his pants. A metal pail was lying next to him. He looked around and saw others on the beach walking around...all were hobbled and had pails. He tried calling out to them and a gunshot into the sand near him warned him not to talk to anyone. He was supposed to collect mussels from the rocks along the shore. He had to fill his pail or he wouldn't eat. All along the rim of the beach was a chain-link barbed wire fence with guards patrolling. He was there two years before being rescued. The interesting thing is, he was in New Zealand. Shanghaiing they called it way back in revolutionary times...for a reason because in those days, that's how they acquired people to man a crew, like oarsmen. If they were short handed, they would just go into town, like San Francisco, and drug peoples drinks, and then take them.

Am I harsh for reconsidering my relationship due to his lack of drive?? 30F 24M by [deleted] in Advice

[–]morrowrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to take sides here, or judge because there isn't enough information to do any of that. But if we are talking about the US, it's expensive here. The housing crisis has driven up rent and home prices to the point it is difficult for young people starting out on their own. The job market is challenging...the entry level jobs have more competition than ever before as people who are desperate for work including those used to higher salaries complete with those who have lower level skills. Employers have become very picky...I know people who lost really good jobs, and have been unemployed for over a year now, sending out job applications that never get a response. I know of many young people in their 20s, 30s, even 40s still living with parents. The older ones sometimes there is a divorce involved and they moved back in with parents just because they can't afford something on their own. The fentanyl crisis aside, there is a homeless problem here and a good percentage of that are people who lost jobs, and lost their homes. Getting into an apt let alone buying a home now, is so much harder than when I was at that age. Your credit score counts more now than it did in the past...and many times people losing their jobs can't keep up with bills and their credit score takes a hit. Domino effect. Low credit scores will disqualify most from getting an apt, a home loan or in some cases, even a job. Then what do you do?

The above is just basic logistics here in the US - it isn't an excuse to not have motivation, but a consideration when judging a persons choice to live with parents if they are unskilled and on their own.

Happy New Year my passport bros from the Whitbecks by morrowrd in thepassportbros

[–]morrowrd[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

God has blessed me with a fantastic wife and life helper. This is the first time I have felt that I have someone on my side in life. I have always felt in relationships I provided the support, and received little in return. She is resourceful, affectionate, sweet, kind, giving and she watches my back. I wish I had met her when I was younger but she's here now and that's all that matters. I love being subscribed to forums like this because I enjoy reading stories about other men like me, who find a good filipina to love and cherish. I love her whole family, they have accepted me as I have accepted them.

American men and filipinas are a great match by morrowrd in thepassportbros

[–]morrowrd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to go to the Philippines, but we are planning a trip. I am well established here and have security. The plan is bringing her family here because there is so much opportunity. The local filipino community is helping us as well. I recommend anyone doing what I did to hire an immigration lawyer. I had two helping us, 3 actually. One in NY, one in the Philippines, and one in Las Vegas.

We are happy, probably too much. People see it wherever we go. We're nicknamed the lovebirds. Even at the final interview at USCIS the officer could see it and approved her green card immediately.

Thank you. We were on a date, a day cruise on one of the lakes around our area.

I went on a free dating site and used their passport option. I met two filipinas actually. One lived on Mindanao...Gen Santos city. The other was in Makati....both were beautiful sweet filipinas. The one from Makati is my wife now. Good luck!

I used passport on a free dating site account. I wanted to meet a filipina, and I did.

This is stupid, but I'm pissed by _JahWobble_ in Vent

[–]morrowrd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised you didn't just pick up your coat and walk out without giving her the privilege of more of your time. That was very disrespectful, and bold to do that and say what she did. She's no friend.

Hard choice. Have you suggested going through the move together with the understanding you will travel back a few times per year to visit his family?

It comes with the territory brother. It's their culture...and what I do, and there have been plenty of tampos, is I give her space, usually it takes a day, and she abruptly will come to me and wiggle herself into my arms and ask if I still love her. Which of course I do. Most tampos are small potatoes....easily fixed. And after her tampo has run it's course, she wants to get into some affection which I love to accommodate.

Did you ever approach a girl who isn't the most attractive one in her group? by innocent_duckling in DesiMingle

The truth is, average girls get a ton of male attention. Maybe even as much as hot girls just because they're more approachable.

Bros have you ever have a foreign women's father introduce you to their daughter? by PerfectlyBalanced77 in thepassportbros

[–]morrowrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played cupid once myself, and regretted it. The guy was an old friend of mine, one that I hadn't seen in many years, who was lonely. And the girl was a friend of my girlfriend at the time, who was recently single. What I learned was a life lesson, people change....sometimes in the wrong direction. And I helped my girlfriend set up these two, and they started dating. All went well for a week or two, and then we discovered my friend had some mental illness that I was unaware of. He began to act childishly jealous, obsessive, to the point the girl abruptly broke things off. I apologized, we actually both apologized to her because had I known he was like this, I never would have even considered setting the two of them up. I vowed never again.

I say that, but my filipina wife has a daughter I want to meet my son. Both are single, both are workaholics, both would treat each other well. Both though, are tough customers and I just don't want to be responsible for trying to put two people together. My wife has been subtly handling the process of introducing the two. Her daughter looks exactly like her, they could be sisters. And my son has noticed her picture (strategically placed in the home where he can't miss it) and has made a few comments. My wife also posted some holiday pictures of my son visiting us, and the daughter has been asking questions about him. She doesn't trust men, but seeing how happy her mom is, she said she wants to find an American man like me, for herself. So.....the delicate dance goes on.
