| | Filipino guy askin'...Page 1 of 2 (1, 2) | I got a question...I have been in PoF for a while now. It been about a year now...an honestly I have no luck whatsoever. I am not complaining, but I guess it just luck or a matter of right place and right time.
I am a Filipino guy...born and raised in the Philippines, but been livin' in Canada for almost 14 years. I've been looking to meet people here and kind of lookin' to what my options are. But it looks like I have no luck. I do not know if people are just not interested in me. Is it because I am Filipino? Is being a Filipino become a hated thing? I honestly don't know. I am a honest, straight-up, normal guy. Just so happens that I am a Filipino. I am not ranting because of my race or nationality. I just want your opinion. Please reply. Thanks! | |

Posted: 6/3/2009 3:41:56 PM | | They say you will have a better chance if you attend a few events and meet some of the other fishies in person. I do not think your luck here has anything to do with your nationality, I just think a lot of people are too paranoid to meet one-on-one off line. | |
|
| Filipino guy askin'...
Posted: 6/3/2009 3:47:12 PM | Perhaps having a list of things you hate on your profile is scaring off the fishies, for they might see that as being negative.
I only glanced briefly at your profile but that hate list jumped out and got my attention. | |

I'm not. I just want to hear what people have to say about my little dilemma. | |

Posted: 6/3/2009 6:12:59 PM | Pinoy,
You are better off meeting people in person. Just live, and you will eventually meet people. I find it is easier to make friends with people, and meet people in real life.
& filipinos are not hated | |

That'll be the day when I give my daughters advice to go an marry a broke fella. Broke means emotionally broke, especially. Bad news for all, and relationship is doomed.
Even in the wild kingdom the females chose the "potent" males, the ones that can look after them and their offspring. Nothing wrong with that.
And NOOO, NOT all women are "gold diggers" and LIARS.

Posted: 6/3/2009 8:15:33 PM | Hi there! It's nice to meet another fellow Filipino. Ah man, I know tons of single Filipina girls here in Toronto. Perhaps you should consider moving here in Toronto instead. :)
I guess if you live in a big city like Toronto, Montreal and maybe downtown Vancouver it's easier to meet more people and there's alot more activities going on big cities.
Don't rely too much on POF as a meeting place for people, go out and join other activities like volunteer work, gym/co-ed sports, school (you're a student cause you should have no problem meeting other fellow classmates!), new hobbies. The more you put yourself out there, the more chances to make more connections and new friendships!
Best of luck to you! | |

Posted: 6/3/2009 11:08:06 PM | | No I don't think it's your ethnicity I'm a white guy and I get no interest on or off this site. You have to realize just how superficial the typical human female really is if they do not like your pic you get no response it has nothing to do with your written profile or interest list or ethnicity at all. Just like in the real world they make a 7 second visual assessment and if they don't like what they see nothing else about you will matter anyways. And with some of us they just don't like what they see. | |

Contrary to popular male belief on pof, the same holds true for many men with women here and is not true for ALL women or men! | |

Don't take advice from Scootch, he's just bitter.
Probably has a lot to do with all the women I have had in my life thinking they have the qualifications, the right or even my permission to judge me at all.
To the OP: If you really want the attention of women on the internet, just lie. Tell them you're an exiled Prince or something.
Become a player. It's the only way to level the playing field. | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 8:40:31 AM | | I had a young woman tell me straight up the other day that to attract a woman and keep her interest you need to be a very good looking,****, overconfident ***hole and lying does'nt hurt either because they see anything else as a weakness in you. | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 8:50:59 AM | ^^^^
You have to decide if you wish to attract into your life a woman who has such beliefs and values.
I'm sure that not all woman feel that way. | |

In my International work travels and here at home(totally unrelated to internet date meetings) MEN, who were total strangers, have brutally sexually assaulted me over the years. Should I assume they ALL WILL? I don't! And believe me... that is alot harder to shine on than what the idiots you are encountering ... say! THEY, no matter what the offense, are not ALL of us by a long shot! Your attitude is keeping you meeting the people you are and/or your lifestyle! Painting us all with the same brush will keep you with idiots also.
To the OP I think you may have problems because young women may be uncomfortale with the idea of dating an aspiring police officer AND because your headline is a bit overkill on the nice guy theme which sadly, is another red flag to mostly younger women. | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 9:10:02 AM | OP: you are plenty young and in just the right age group to meet someone. Seems like it's been forever, but that's cause you are young. Try offline; if you haven't already, check out meetup dot com. Maybe there's a group there you'd be interested in, and be one more way to meet someone.
I'm sure that not all woman feel that way.
Not much point in mentioning that, people generally prefer to believe what they believe. Some guys just want to think that women are shallow, gold-digging, liars just as some women prefer to believe all guys are players and only after one thing. I think the point of having those negative beleifs is so that they can blame someone else for whatever it is they think they aren't getting, rather than look at themselves. | |

No I don't think it's your ethnicity I'm a white guy and I get no interest on or off this site.
You are currently on 47 favorites list - are these people all relatives or men, and therefore undateable? Not to mention, I did put you on my faves list for a while some time ago because by your pic I thought you were attractive, and thought I'd indicate an interest that way. Don't think we ever exchanged emails, though I don't remember for sure. Anyway, the point is that there are people who are interested in you - but maybe the problem is that it's not the people you want to be interested in you. In which case, they aren't any more or less shallow than you are.
ETA: Seriously, I'm just wishing you'd try a little optimism here, not trying to dump on you. | |

Never let it be said that I did not warn the general POF public once upon a time...I believe I told you so is in order even. Now do you believe me? Are you still gonna let him in your tents? Misogynist.+Control Freak = Sociopath. I can smell them from ten miles away.
This is name calling, backstabbing and alienation. I think I am entitled to an opinion without being publicly flogged. But thanks for making my point.
Pro-filer: I am old, jaded and cynical. The OP hasn’t lived long enough or had enough experience with women to understand that there are no rose colored glasses or fairy tale endings. But getting out there in the world and meeting people with yeild far better results and window shopping on the internet.
And Kitty, darlin'.. I have a child your age. I usually tell him to try and refrain from offering words of wisdom until he has actually earned some. | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 10:01:21 AM | HaloKitty is wise far beyond her years and if you've followed her in the forums you'd know that. She's been brave enough to share her life experience and, in my opinion, has endured far more than many of us far older than she is.
She has more than definitely earned some.
OP - hang in there, you're young, seem really sweet and I'm sure you'll find someone soon. | |

Just because you put someone on a favorites list shows that you are interesed, why don't you just send an email?
I have had a couple people put me on their favorites list and when I emailed them I get no response so we can not all assume that they are interested just because they added you.
Sorry to be off topic but I have been to a few events and have found that asians are a minority, not that it matters because I do meet a lot of nice people "Miss Bratty" is one in particular. Unfortunately for you it seems like the events are mostly people in their 30's and up. | |

^^
OP, why don't you take upon yourself to host events in your area? I'm sure those in y our age group will respond and the result is your friendship circle will widen
friends = love  | |
