SuperDuper!

Are you taking an opportunity to brag how great is your wife and life, or really trying to help the OP?

Good one. And they eat with forks and spoons like everyone else, too.
Get this. America is a wealthy country. And when "poor" people get to have HD TV's/ Cable/ PlayStation/Internet/Laptop/BlueRay....they get to save money and stay home.
They DONT go where you and I go for dinner, vacation, shopping.
What a country. Even the "poor" are blessed!

So are you saying his wife needs a good spanking?

Imagine, a black president could not magically make other black Americans lives more economically prosperous....

This is the type of answer I DREAD to see. Yes, it's true that there is no deadline date to file AOS, but think of the trouble, hassle and problems you create if you wait months and years to file the AOS. Why would a petitioner not want his beneficiary to NOT have an EAD and Green Card?
Please, Please, DO NOT send out the wrong message.
YOU HAVE TO FILE AOS. Otherwise, you might have just smuggled her in on the boat and saved all those K1 fees.
Instead, tell them: "Technically, there is no deadline to file AOS. But the wise man files it for his beloved as soon as possible after getting married. The wise man saved money to pay AOS right away because he cares and wants his love to get to the finish line quickly and have all the rights and privileges therein.
Think spirit, and NOT letter of the law here.
Pffft!

A patient came to my office to talk about an incident he was almost too embarrassed to discuss. He had recently visited a prostitute, and was ashamed of this behavior. He had been making many positive changes in his life after recovering from alcoholism and divorce. It became clear that what had triggered his episode was a failed attempt to use online dating to find a girlfriend.
I've started telling some of my patients to avoid online dating. Some people react to the frequent rejections and disappointments with depression or cynicism. Negative feelings can trigger relapses into dysfunctional behaviors. I believe online dating is risky for people with a history of depression, addiction or relationship problems, and I believe it may present a special risk for men.
Of the dozens of online dating stories I've heard, most have been negative. I've only known a few happy couples who met on dating websites or through personal ads. But why has something that seemed like such a good idea when it was first invented proved so often to be a disappointment, or worse? Doesn't a dating website allow you to preview possible mates through photos and profiles, cutting down on the possibility of mismatches? To my knowledge, there has been little scientific research done on online dating, so what I'm going to say is based on observation and basic theories of human behavior:
Online dating raises the stakes for rejection, especially for men. When a man goes to a bar and strikes up a conversation with a woman, he knows there's a possibility she has no interest in dating at all. If she rejects him, it's easy for him to say to himself "Maybe this just wasn't the right time." When a man gets rejected by someone on a dating website, he's not likely to make such a rationalization, since the woman has explicitly stated she is looking for dates or a mate.
Some people easily bounce back from rejection and others don't.
It's important to remember that many people join dating websites without really wanting to find a relationship (or even dates)-these sites are full of voyeurs and exhibitionists who only want to view or be viewed by others (perhaps this is why one popular website came up with the advertising slogan "It's Okay to Look"). It's difficult to screen out these people. In addition, many people use online dating as a way to "test the waters" after a bad break-up; they don't really want romance but want to get back in the habit of going on dates, or just want to get out of the house as a distraction from their troubles. (And of course, there are some women who only want to get taken out to dinner at a nice restaurant--which is why I advise men not to take women out to dinner on first dates).
A man who isn't conventionally handsome or doesn't immediately present well for some other reason doesn't have the option on a dating website of first starting a platonic friendship with a woman and seeing where it leads. Sometime a woman who isn't immediately attracted to a man will later fall in love with him, if they spend time together that allows her to see what he's really like. The nuances and ambiguities that make life interesting are eliminated from online dating, which emphasizes the immediate and the superficial.
The attraction of many men to online dating is the notion that it "saves time." But a relationship isn't something you can select from a catalog. Sometimes, it develops slowly or unexpectedly. This can happen online, but not on a dating website. Once the interaction is put in the category of dating, the pressure is on. People start evaluating each other with checklists. This doesn't serve men or women well.
I'm acquainted with a recently married couple who met online. They didn't meet on a dating website--they met on a poetry website, where they became friends. Later, they both joined another poetry website, where they wrote poems to each other and also made more friends. Eventually they met in person. They had developed their relationship through sharing their emotions in creative expressions. They had each seen how the other interacted with others on the site. Their creative expressions revealed far more about each of them to the other than would have been possible through the rigid and often silly templates and questionnaires used by many dating websites. When they finally met in person, sparks flew.
Men often believe the biggest risk of online dating is finding out that the woman has lied about her age or weight, thus wasting their time. However, I believe the biggest risk for men in online dating is the loss of self esteem. It's men who do the asking in dating, so it's men who often end up feeling the most rejected. That's why meeting women through more casual ways, such as through shared activities or conversations at social events or even at work (tread carefully) is more natural and less likely to trigger depression, substance abuse relapses or other problems. Getting to know people takes time, but it usually leads to better results.

And let's not forget that in the not-too-distant past, a lot marriages were arranged. Some probably worked out, but I suspect most were not so good.
And of course, there are Amer/Phil marriages that hit the rocks, either because she was scamming the guy all along, one or both couldn't deal with the reality of personal and cultural differences, or unfaithfulness... whatever. It happens.
And I'd be willing to bet you, though few if any would come forth and admit, there are those situations where a woman agreed to marry a man just to improve things, or get out of the PI, or whatever her motivation... and ended up getting a good guy whom she genuinely fell in love with, and they ar both happy today.
At my age, I think it is hard to predict if you will be happily married to someone until you have been married to them for a few years first.

I am an American Male, I am highly sought after in many countries, Many countries when I walk the streets I am treated like a Rock Star, Woman Want Me and Men Want to be like me, It's just the way it is.
One great thing about the Philippines is American Man have a reputation of being a good and caring husband whom take care of their wives, and we are highly sought after.
The people of Philippines are very kind and caring and friendly, and the Woman are know for making excellent and loving and caring wives, and on top of that they are gorgeous
Bottom line it make it Philippines like Heaven on Earth
Put that in your pipe and smoke it................

2 thumbs up here! :thumbs:
This is how it should be. The much younger filipina inherits the mature man's substantial assets.
What, the ol' guy died broke as a joke? No life insurance, No house, no retirement account, no pension, no cars, no nothin'? No way!
She didn't marry a homeless beer bum.
She married a fiscal financially responsible guy, and man of means.
She gave her youth and best years of her life to a guy that takes care of her long after he's gone.
This is how WE do it.
How Fudge Report does it while looking for 2 dimes to rub together is on him.

OK, here's the story on MJ. Ya either love it or hate it. Ya gotta think it thru why you need this product.
The consensus here is clear that you need a high speed internet connection to begin with to have a successful MJ experience. If you do, then why not just use Skype and video cam? The answer is, if you have Lola who is a computerphobe or totally computer illiterate, then using a standard phone to communicate with loved ones using MJ may be for you.
Ask yourself, "Why pay for MJ with my high speed connection, when I can skype video chat for free?"
Good luck!

I don't think that data stops any man from trying to procreate with his hot young girlfriend.

sounds like you're bored...read a book or so
mething and quit stirring the pot.

The hidden tragedy with the K-1 is how many fat old american victims are pressured into sex with these young, beautiful, and exotic foreigners.

I'm all for the "just living with my boyfriend/girlfriend for a while to see if it works out" visa.

Great news. We get to work our selves to death. The fact is , the average American now just collects a handful of retirement checks, and then dies.
Anyone boasting how great their retirement will be is just setting themselves up for bad Karma.

It's just boring. Stephen has sucked all the oxygen out with his hippie posts.
