When I lived in the Middle East, there were many Russian and Filipino women there. To be honest, the Russian women were prostitutes and the Filipino women were either prostitutes or maids. I'm not trying to judge - I'm just telling you what I saw with my own eyes...
All women, I believe have something to offer and certain skills can be brought to the table. Sometimes, however, circumstances do not always allow that.
Also, when I lived in Lebanon, I did rent a BMW for about a year and yes, the locals all thought that I was a prostitute.
This is pretty much the message I was trying to get across but Cabbie got defensive about it. No way do i believe that all eastern European women are whores but it is a fact that western Euopean men are served by thousands and thousands of eastern European prositutes and it is a fact that certain countries have a track record in providing good marital material for men with the right amount of cash/good propspects. All I'm saying is that these relationships between Cypriot men and Russians or Englishmen and Filipinos are basically a business agreement between a financially stronger provider and a weaker needier woman. But then one could argue that this has been the norm in all marriages up until recently in the US and Europe, when women's expectations and power and social mores have changed. These are the reasons that some men specifically seek out relationships with women from certain cultures/nations.
