It's all within reason. There aren't taboo topics. It's more like basic civil behavior. There is a thread of forum rules. Here it is: http://www.happierabroad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12500 I'll sticky it. 2. No posting pictures of anything excessively obscene, graphically disturbing or revolting....

Well I moved into a new place and hit it off extremely great with one of the girls here. We were rubbing groins and everything. Fast forward one week later and I'm extremely depressed having just broken up with this same girl. My depression level is among the lowest levels I have encountered in my ...

If you are a decent looking gringo in his mid-twenties I'd steer clear of this girl, her kid, and her crazy ex. Life is cheap in these sort of places and you are better off keeping a low profile. You are messing with a dude and his kid (in his mind anyways). Maybe the dude is a scumbag. Maybe the w...

Please don't make the same mistake so many guys did before you and finance a girl who is together with other guys while you are abroad and who just uses you as a cash machine. Try to find a girl who doesn't want your money and who is into you for who you are. Against the opinion of many feminists t...

FilipinoCupid worked very well for me in Cebu. Sent 12 invites out for coffee meetings when I arrived. Got 5 positive replies back. Met the first girl that afternoon at SM mall at the Orange Brutus and then went on a little tour of the city including seeing the oldest house in Cebu. That sort of thi...

Rock, you're such a clear thinker and I mean that sincerely. You're an asset to this forum. I hope you never get banned. Zboy: I know you are unhappy with Rock's comments, but please don't ban him, like you did with Cornfed and thePrimeBait. He is one of the few people that actually travels on this ...

Screw it, I'm out as well.

Ghost, good luck. If you ever make it to Manila, send me a PM.

ThePrimeBait asked a question about how people can afford to travel. What do people on this site earn in $US? What's your AFTER TAX income (include all income - wages, rental income, dividends, the hush money you receive from your uncle/grandfather etc)?

I'm new here as well. So far my posts have been pretty insipid but sooner or later I'm bound to offend someone. Zboy1, just to be on the safe side, I suggest I be banned.

I have a question: there's this girl in the Philippines that I used to be involved with quite a few years ago. I've kept in touch but we're just friends now. I don't send her money or anything like that. It's purely the odd email here and there. Anyway, about a year or so she got knocked up by a Kor...

$200,000 plus $2000 per month income plus dividend income that Boxman is not even counting is plenty enough for early retirement in my opinion. But of course it all depends on the individual's needs. It would be plenty for me. I'm living on less at the moment.

I do think for a marriage to have any chance of success, especially if the wife is quite a bit younger, the husband has to keep on performing financially. It's not enough to just hold down a job, one must be regularly getting promotions or, at the very least, sizeable salary increases every year. No...

Sounds great. Earn some serious cash in the UK and take two week trips from time to time. It's nice that the Sterling is starting to strengthen too. I just spent two weeks in Cebu and had a fantastic time. I met this lovely 21 year old on the internet on my second day and traveled around with her - ...
