Two-Fer On E-Bay
1. Leave the house out of the deal, and what would this transaction amount to? Right.
2. For the benefit of the sweet, innocent, women members of BMEWS, (who’ve surely never heard this joke)I’ll repeat the entire joke, not just the punchline:
He asks her,"Would you go to bed with me for a million dollars?”
She replies, “A million dollars!? Sure!”
“Well, then, how about a hundred dollars?”
“What do you think I am, a whore?”
“We’ve already established what you are, now we’re merely haggling over the price.”
3. Of course this whole deal is probably a put-on/publicity stunt.Plus, I can’t tell what her tits look like in that fuzzy photo.

Sounds exactly like one of those powerful women mentioned by Maureen Dowd who regret not getting a man because they worked too hard on their careers and became too powerful. She owns her own business, bought a fixer upper house, repaired it, decorated it, and spent enough money on expensive furniture to ask $600k for it. Sounds like a powerful focused woman who would be too busy and too bitchy to take care of her man the way we want to be taken care of! Most men are intimidated by such a woman. I am not saying women cannot pursue a career nor take care of themselves but it’s a fact that men are not attracted to such women. She placed an auction hoping to find a richer more powerful man to be attracted. One that is too busy with his own business and career to have time to date. Two such people will be perfect for each other. Far too focused on their careers and money and not paying attention to each other. Then I read her biography and it seems she was duped by the feminist movement and screwed up. She was raised by a minister in a conservative household and is looking for a good relationship now that life has started to pass her by. This woman is in deep regret for not having become a wife and mother early on. She is almost 50 and past her child bearing years ago. It’s so sad…
I am fortunate enough to have found the perfect woman. She is smart, intelligent, and sexy. She has a strong willed personality but at the same time she constantly strives to do things for me. When I come home from a hard days work there is a dinner ready for me. She welcomes me at the door and sits me down with a beer then brings me my dinner. We eat and discuss our day and I let her vent about work and her female friends and a gay man she works with. She does all the house work and still manages to work more then 40 hours. I know this won’t last forever because children will change everything. But I do know that she plans to stop working when we have children and we are willing to sacrifice when that day comes. Now don’t think I just sit around drinking beer watching football and slapping her on the ass as she walks by either; I do my part around the house and take care of other things. We both have our traditional roles. She instills a bit of a guilt complex on me so I end up going the extra mile to please her and be there for her. The guilt is not actually her fault but my own. I was affected by the feminist movement as well. I still feel like I should be doing household chores, etc. I’ve tried this but when she comes home she thanks me and then goes and redoes a bunch of the things I did. I guess she’s a perfectionist too. Her reaction, is sort of like “That’s so cute, but now I have to redo it because you didn’t do it right”. So I stick to fixing things and doing lawn maintenance, cleaning the gutters, and whatnot.
Where did I find such a woman? I married a Filipino registered nurse who immigrated (legally) from the Philippines. She was raised a poor Catholic, one of nine children, and the first in her family to both go to college and to make it to the USA. Her upbringing was like Leave it to Beaver, The Waltons, or Little House on the Prairie. She had exactly one homemade Sunday dress and one pair of white shoes, the rest of her clothes were for farm work. She used to sleep on a bamboo mat on the floor and used gas lamp lights at night because they had no electricity on the farm. She can slaughter a chicken or a pig, and even plant banana trees! You can bet she fully appreciates being in America and understands the opportunities she now has access to. She looks at American women like they are crazy because of the way they treat their men and their very poor work ethic. Likewise they think she’s completely crazy.
If you strive to find a good wife who will pamper you and meet all of your manly needs, then you should seriously consider a Filipino wife. I’ll even tell you where to look; checkout any hospital or nursing home. Go visit your elderly relatives in a nursing home and you will find Filipino nurses. They are in extremely high demand due to their strong work ethic and there being more nurses in the Philippines then jobs. They also all speak excellent english. Most of them became nurses just so they can leave the country, get a good job and send money home. My wife’s niece is about to get her RN and the moment she passes the test, her employer has offered to start the visa paperwork.
However, be cautious. There are two classes of Filipino women. In the Philippines there is no middle class, you have the elite and then you have the poor. The elite are obnoxious and were likely raised with multiple homes, trips to America since young childhood, had servants and never worked very hard. Also watch out for the poor in the big cities, many are prostitutes and drug abusers, but these are unlikely to make it to the US. The poor are treated like dirt by the elite’s but the poor have faith and are either devout Catholic or Evangelical Baptist. Of course, there are the extremist Muslims in the southern islands, who you could, if you converted, cover them in a burka, lock them indoors and beat them with a stick if you like… Heck if she complains you can go to the local Imam and he will come over to your house and show you how to properly beat your wife. If she cheats on you or even so much as flirts or looks at another man you can shave her head and cut one of her ears off. Or if she’s just plain stubborn, the local Imam can hold a Sharia court and have her gang raped by 14 men!
I don’t know… Neither the Leftist Liberal nor the Muslim view of woman seem to be correct. Time to revert back to good old fashioned time honored conservative values that work! There can be a middle ground with no couch potato in boxer shorts, drinking beer and slapping her ass. Here’s a shocker! How old am I? I bet I am much younger then you think!

Could be that “she’s” probably only half-way through a sex change operation. She/he still needs to complete the alterations to the “plumbing”.
Makes a creepy story.

Worrying about the roof leaking would be the least of my leaking concerns!
Either way, it sounds like high maintenance to me.

Let’s not get into a discussion about Philipino men & women.........this is a whole different culture..........one that I was intimately involved in several years ago........I could tell you some stories but right now it’s not worth the effort.........

On the house. $600,000??!! Sweet Jesus the property values are high in Denver!! Maybe half that and I might think its a good deal. Actually if I had $50,000 to invest in mine it’d look like that - the styles are similar and I still have most of my leaded-glass windows and cabinets.
On the woman...I wish her good luck.
I agree with MJS. There is no better wife that a good Filipina, if you are as lucky as MJS or myself and find one of the good ones. The best way guys, is to be introduced by freinds to someone from a good family with a good reputation.
MJS is incorrect about there being 2 types though.
Us average Americans aren’t going to get anywhere near many of the ones from the wealthy families unless we have lots of cash. It is very rare unless you meet her in the USA living on her own rights. Most of these are very similar to liberated American women
I suspect I’m going to hit somewhere near Dottie’s thoughts here on some of the rest of this.
There are are actually 5 types of Filipina’s I have seen and all of the types have some cross-over in minor ways.
1)The wealthy ones MJS mentioned.
2)Ruthless gold-digging whores (otherwise known as the “wealthy wannabes") who sleep their way up the man chain always looking for the better deal. In the old days many of these ladies were the prostitutes (bar girls) who worked FOR LONG PERIODS in the bars of Olongapo and Angeles City.
Not all of the bar girls were like this. Many decent women from desparately poor family situations ended up in the bars looking for a husband because there was no other way out of their situation. Those usually found somebody and left the bar fairly rapidly. I know a number of very successful marriages where the couple met when the wife was in the sex trade. But the percentage of bad ones was fairly high (personal experience).
In any relationship you really need to know the person’s soul before you make a life with them. With Filipinas, her hounding you for money (instead of working for her own) and/or a fanatical desire for flashy too-revealing clothes and gold jewelry is a real bad sign.
3)Spoiled children. These ladies are usually brought here by trashy guys who want some way younger “Arm-candy” to boost their egos and who they think they can control. Now they have a fadingly cute but angry and sharp-tongued, lazy, useless, and often unfaithful shrew, one or more out-of-control children (who may or may not be his) and a home life that is HEll.
RULE NUMBER ONE: NEVER ASSUME YOU CAN ACTUALLY CONTROL A FILIPINA. YOU CAN FIND COMMON GROUND AND LOVING COOPERATION. YOU CAN BE THE LEADER IN YOUR HOUSE BUT IT IS ONLY BY BEING SUBTLE AND PATIENT. THERE IS NO MORE DETERMINED TYPE OF PERSONALITY ON THIS EARTH THAN A FILIPINA. YOU MAY AS WELL GO AFTER A GLACIER WITH A BALLPEEN HAMMER.
The 4th type is the unsexed. There are a large group of Filipina’s most of whom are very plain in appearance who go thru life as single women. They don’t come from wealthy families and have generally spent their whole lives taking care of their relatives. Maybe they had a bad early relationship or they are not interested in sex or having a family. They will live out their lives as spinsters or nuns. They are usually quiet, fairly nice, but almost invisible people whom you will rarely notice.
The 5th type is the worker woman. MJS’s nurses are filled by this type and some of #4. They have some similarities to #4 but are usually more attractive and a little more outgoing. Some are very cute, but most are average from good Christian families with a good ethic and a strong body.
They are the best. My wife is one from this group. They are trustworthy, hard-working, they keep a good home, and they are great mothers. If you had to walk thru the valley of the shadow of death she will walk thru with you. They are extremely frugal except with their relatives (which is about the only problem a husband might have with this type). It is important to be loving and kind here as every bit given will return to you in multiples.
All in all, Filipinas are the best wives if you understand the cultural issues, choose wisely, and most importantly act as a wise and responsible mate yourself.
Babylonandon has nailed the classifications! I gave up after having written more then enough… Yeah, be careful for #1, #2, and #3. Hunt for #5 which is my wife to a tee!
That doesn’t mean she isn’t determined! Glacier with a Ballpeen Hammer! Gonna remember that one… heh hehe ha! Been to lots of Filipino parties and witnessed all the types and can usually spot which one is which. You ain’t seen nothing till you’ve seen a Filipino act, dress, and behave like Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton! Oooh What a Hoot!

Ok...........Before I became involved with my S.O. - now for 10 years- I had a short relationship with a man of Philipino origin - he was estranged from his wife at the time but eventually went back to her............He was a delight to know at the time but I knew he was not happy being away from his wife.............I encouraged him to try to repair his relationship with his wife & he eventually did............I have not heard from him since & I hope he is happy...............My S.O. for the last 10 years is a Korean man - a most wonderful, thoughtful man.............having lived through a displacement from No. Korea during the War, where he was born, to living in Seoul, to settling in the U.S. after being sent to Treasure Island in CA while in the Korean Navy.............this man is a delight to know - after enduring the hardships of the Korean War - he & his father walked from No. Korea to So. Korea and settled in So. Korea & eventually got his mother out of No. korea...............He eventually settled in St. Louis where he became a partner in a group orthopedic pracice............We worked together for several years..........Now at the age of 71, he is still active in his practice yet we often find the time to go out & shoot - our love of photography is what brought us together............I love him with all my heart & I know he loves me..................

Bravo, Babylonandon! I thought it was just me. I’ve worked with all 5 types over the years, but never thought anyone else noticed. You have them down to a “T” my friend.
OCM: What’s racism got to do with it? They’re talking about real cultural differences. Whether they’re right or wrong, I don’t know.
We all agree that race is bullshit. Biologically, if they’d been “reincarnated” in the USA, they’d be a CPA in Pontiac, Michigan—or some such. I love my Thai dau/law to death, but I’ve had to learn that long silences don’t mean she’s pissed at me. Constant idle chit-chat isn’t part of their culture.

Racism? Racism! Racism!?!? Where the hell did you come up with RACISM? What’s racist about a very very white, red haired, gentleman of Scottish decent marrying a Filipino woman who is probably a mix of Chinese, Spanish, and Native Islander? OCM, what the hell are you smoking? Racists don’t marry outside their own race… Duh…
We were discussing cultural and societal differences which has little to do with actual race. It has more to do with social class. I am sure you can find the same social types brought up by Babylonandon in the white races. Paris Hilton for example has more in common with type #1, Anna Nichole Smith is equal to #2, Hillary Clinton would be #3, Madeleine Albright or Janet Reno are #4, and Laura Bush is #5.

Common behavioral traits was what I was getting at, OCM. And let me say (since I didn’t before) that I’ve enjoyed working with and was very good friends with all but one of the dozen or so Phillipino people I’ve known, which is a great track record for any culture. I found them to be outstanding people and hope to work again with them someday in the future.
You sure you are not a Liberal? Only a Liberal would actually redefine the meaning of a word like ‘Racism’ or confuse it with a word like ‘Sexism’… Words do mean things, funny how Liberals love to change the meaning of words and redefine history as well.
Just because a few of us happened to find ‘a diamond in the rough’ you accuse us of sexism. You also incorrectly assume that our diamonds are ignorant. Our little ‘Stepford Wives’ are the real deal, and there is nothing stupid about them. They know exactly what they want. They don’t believe the silly feminist teachings of the radicals which have only proven false. (seems all the leftist liberal teachings are doing that lately, all coming unraveled in time) The only thing being a feminist will get you is old age, no man, no children and a raging case of regret. Seems there is this natural female desire to be with a man, to procreate, and to be nurturing. The role of woman in society is one of the most important jobs on the planet. Go figure, a million years of evolution can’t be wrong. Men are just now becoming ‘Men’ again and ‘Women’ are rediscovering their roots. The children of the 60’s have children and grandchildren of their own and like all children they refuse to repeat the mistakes of their parents. Perhaps the lack of easy to find and cheap illicit drugs along with a missing in action Jerry Garcia have allowed them to see the light.
I don’t happen to be a male chauvinist pig, I treat my wife with respect and I do my part in the relationship. I have zero plans of ever leaving her or mistreating her. I realize just how lucky I am to have found such a wonderful woman, likewise, she has told me the same.
The only doubt that I have is that we won’t get to grow old and enjoy a long and happy life because it seems Armageddon is nearly upon us. Brought about by the selfish desires of the left… It certainly seems that way with China stealing our secrets and building a huge arsenal, Iran striving for nuclear weapons and openly threatening to wipe Israel off the map, Paris being burned to the ground by Muslim rioters, explosions and terrorists in London, Putin (former head of the KGB) claiming he will retake control of Russia if the elections don’t go his way, Chavez working the rioters up in Argentina during the trade summit and trying to pick a fight with Bush, Cruise liners being attacked by Muslim Pirates, Syria and Iran smuggling weapons and fighters into Iraq, and the lefts nonstop attempt to kill God. Not to mention the increase in deadly earthquakes, volcanos, and hurricanes! Gee, I almost long for the days of ‘Duck & Cover’ when our only fear was nuclear annihilation by the Soviets; at least it would be quick.
