Filipina Dating – How To Meet The Filipina Of Your Dreams
Filipina Dating 101 – How To Meet The Filipina Of Your Dreams
Perry Gamsby, 2009, Streetwise Publications, available in eBook .pdf , 130 pages.
This is the Number 1 best selling book of its kind available for download on the internet today. Since 2004 this book (updated for 2009) has given thousands of men hope and handy hints in their search for a Filipina bride.
Written by Perry Gamsby and his Filipina wife, Amelita, this book makes it very clear that they do not appreciate the term ‘mail order bride’ or MOB. They also go to great lengths to ensure readers are fully aware of the kinds of consequences looking for a partner online can have.
New in the 2009 edition (and available to all previous purchasers of the eBook as a free upgrade) is a fascinating section on the chat cam phenomenon that has changed the online introduction scene in the last few years quite markedly. The book also looks at the repercussions of the IMBRA legislation on US citizens.
If you want word for word templates you can use to write more successful emails, or if you are curious about what to bring when you meet your penpal for the first time, this book covers it. It also has some wise suggestions on safety and success, well worth the US$29.99 asking price.

A Long Way To Go For A Date
Makow, Henry. 1999. Silas Green. ISBN: 978 0968 7725 08, 128 pages
The opening chapter of this book reads easily and flows along and is indicative of the literary skill of the author, a PhD in English literature. However as the tale progresses you begin to wonder about Makow’s motives and his maturity. Basically at 47 he travels to the Philippines to meet and marry an 18 year old penpal.
At first you feel for Makow and think he has had a tough time with relationships. As the book progresses though even the most ardent anti-feminist has to begin to wonder. As someone who is married to a Filipina, his expectations are based on very out dated models of what is acceptable. Even if the book was written about his 1997 vacation times haven’t changed that much since then.
His attitudes were not in vogue then and they are more so not appropriate today. Still, he writes well and it is an easy narrative to read providing you don’t cringe too much or gag too often. Methinks Makow was born too late and would have been better off marrying a classic 1950s Leave It To Beaver kind of Mom.
Still, I am glad I bought it as it is entertaining and instructive in a how not to kind of way and at the cover price asked, cheap enough.
