I do wonder if the translator you speak of are the same as the translators from the agencies. Then one could go further and are they management or part owners of the agencies?
They should ask, or wait to be offered, before ordering food/beverages at your expense, if they do otherwise then it seems they are in cahoots with the lady, they may be discussing this between themselves, in your presence, in their language. The interpreter is a 'hired hand', you are employing her and, as we say in UK, "she's taking the piss".
And, I can speak from previous inside knowledge, what you say to the interpreter may not be the same as what the interpreter says to the girl ..... i.e. you might say "how was your day at work" and the interpreter interprets to the lady "This guy is a dickhead, let's take him for all we can".
I guess, this is some part my fault to, when am staying at a expensive hotel, thy get easily the impression that i have some money, and they will tray to milk as most as possible.
The girl dont talk so much English, but we having a good connection, and she is relay interested in me, the big cost is to have the translator hanging around all the time 15 hour plus food,drinks, and what ever ting i do with the girl.
I wont to meet this girl again, but am not sure if she is milking my pocket or she wonts to find out if we are good match.
I have a feeling am scammed, the translator and the girl are very good friends, and talk a lot more than the translator is translating to me.
If i go to meet this girl again, i will not use any translator, i will tray to communicate by my self.
The girl say she wont to learn more English but has not any free time to do this jet.
I had a long experience. I got friendly with the interpreter and she gave me her skype and we talked, her friend who she was interpreting for was my girl who i was dating and had been for over a year. When it finaly came out that the girl was a scam and was screwing me for money, the interpreter decided to tell me everything, my so say girl had a man in ukraine that she was living with for the whole time i was dating her, she said she did not ever love me and was only ever interested in my money. Whats my point ? here is her interpreter having an attack of concience and telling me this to spare me from further heartbreak yet it was her friend who she was writing to me for and chatting online for and sending sms messages for over a year, and suddenly she is helping me but only after being part of the scam for over a year. No chance, any agency interpreter is in it for the money they do it without any care for their victim and as for the women they are helping they are nothing but evil scum, the only bonus i have was knowing i was screwing this guys girlfriend while he was sat at home looking after her kids. That makes her a whore and him a sad pimp of a man. I would say get a professional interpreter and bypass agency muppets.
Does the girl show any interest to be on her own with you? Any serious girl would at least be willing to spend some time with you without the interpreter. If she won't, then "she just isn't that into you".
FYI, I know a Russian woman who has worked as an interpreter in such meetings. She told me that many women were quite frank with her, in the presence of the foreign man, about their mercenary motives -- in Russian, of course.
My friend felt that it wasn't her place to relate these conversations to the foreign man, unless he asked. None of them ever asked :/
"And, I can speak from previous inside knowledge, what you say to the interpreter may not be the same as what the interpreter says to the girl ..... i.e. you might say "how was your day at work" and the interpreter interprets to the lady "This guy is a dickhead, let's take him for all we can". "
OK, Martin. At least you know what FSU ladies call you and you admit it. Now tell us how you fell for it and how much.
Following a recent, positive, input from Ralph, this nonsense of RB’s is extremely tiresome, it’s not heading anywhere, much like his life, except to a stalemate, he really is pathetic telephoning forum member’s ex girlfriend merely to fuel his constant attacking of others, so I’ll make this statement.
I am not such the bad guy as others like to make me out to be, even my ex fiancee’s (now) husband, who despises me for exposing his wife as a scammer, posted, admitted, on this forum circa August 2009 that I am a funny guy, he would have received this information not by speculation but by first hand knowledge from his wife that I had a 2.75 year relationship with. Yes I do have an excellent sense of humour, one that matches the Filipino/Filipina sense of humour perfectly, RB’s family probably were deported for being boring bastards, and these past 2 weeks I’ve just had a ‘ball’ laughing my way from one situation to another. There is a saying in life .... “one can laugh or one can cry”, I’m the one that likes to laugh, RB is the one that does all the crying!
I left the island yesterday morning, in the 5 days/4 nights I was there I made some GENUINE friends, I’m missing them already but we’re going to maintain contact with each other. We just had a ‘ball’ of a time, particularly with the 22 y/o Filipina resort owner, like most Filipina’s she likes to have a laugh but she is also mature beyond her years. We had a lot of laughs but we had some, many, serious conversations together also, on our last evening she told me that I’m a really nice and genuine guy, she said many other nice words about me also, I’m too embarrassed to repeat them here but, suffice to say, we are really good friends, her and her boyfriend, and I.
I made a recent comment regarding ladyboys, DD jumped down my throat for it calling me ‘sick’. Well on this island these people live in, often, one room wooden homes, they have no sewerage or running water, they collect their water from a communal tap in the dirt street. The island’s economy, in the main, relies upon fishing, these people will go out in their boats 365 days a year just to survive, for approx 50% of our meals there my girlfriend and I opted to eat seafood to support such a meagre economy. Indeed on the 3rd day there I decided to buy all the Filipina resort workers some chocolate just for being so nice and running around for us, buying my cigarettes and a significant amount of chocolate at the local kiosk shop, I had been chatting there with some of the locals, the Filipina shop owner asked where I was staying, telling her she said “It is expensive there, you are a rich man”, as quick as anything I replied “I was rich until I came to your bloody shop”, her and the locals just fell about laughing.
Indeed checking-out of the Butuan City hotel this morning, I was sitting in reception waiting for my taxi when a 5 (ish) y/o girl came to hold my hand, her mother and everybody else were laughing loudly, then she blew me a kiss, I blew her kiss in return, then she put her arms around me and kissed me on the cheek, even the reception staff, trying to do their work, were laughing loudly. These people lead such meagre existences, sure I can act the comedian if it brings just a little laughter to their otherwise ordinary days.
Indeed, the taxi recently dropped me off at this Manila hotel, the driver didn’t know where the hotel was so we had quite a banter in the car whilst I helped him with directions. As we pulled up outside the hotel I confirmed with him that the meter read PHP246 (approx USD5), he joked that that was without the tip, I joked back “OK, that’ll be PHP247 then”, he just laughed as I gave him PHP300!
OK, we have idiots on this forum, in the main Raging Bullshit, the Dyslexic Dynamo and that other idiot TINTIN who, more recently, posts under a number of identities including fredricko and Snart Martin, I’m the happy and positive guy here, why should I be subjected to such nonsense from such no-lifers, I don’t seek popularity on this forum, I don’t ask to be judged, I have a fantastic life, if any are to be judged then judge the no-lifers who, apparently, have no other life than to attack others with unsubstantiated nonsense!

Speaking of random posts, I wonder if Dudley-Do-Right was into lawn bowling. I mean, he does put forth the good effort to get Nell the inspector's daughter. But I wonder if it's just a front. I think Nell is shagging the horse Horse.
For those of you wondering, Dudley-Do-Right is a cartoon character in a segment of the 'Rockie And Bullwinkle Show.' R&B (not to be confused with RB) is a cartoon parody that pits a squirrel and moose against the assumed Rooskies Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale, Mr Big and Fearless Leader. Cerebral comedy way ahead of its time.
They also had characters like "Mr Know It All" (Bullwinkle). And other segments besides 'Dudley-Do-Right of the Mounties' including 'Peabody and Sherman,' 'Captain "Wrongway" Peachfuzz' Tennesse Tuxedo with his side kick Wallube Walrus (I think that's right), 'Fractured Fairy Tales' 'The World of Commander McBrag' et al.
After having read the forum for over a year I am amazed there are distinct personalities that almost mirror the characters from the "Rockie and Bullwinkle Show." Unless you were a fan or know the show you won't get it. But trust me it is so true.
"Hey Rockie, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat." Rockey - "Again? That trick never works." And Bullwinkle proceeds to pull a ferocious animal head out the hat with it roaring. "Don't know my own strength." exclaims Bullwinkle. Always funny.
Mr. Peabody (a white labrador retriever) takes "his boy" Sherman on adventures through the 'way back machine'. Always going back in time and rewriting history.
Commander McBrag's story always ends with his ever interested counter part stating, "That's quite a story Commander!" His response is always, "Quite."
I'm still hot for Natasha with that sultry fake Russian accent.
Y'all have a nice day. I have to start arm rehab now.
I haven't seen the Bullwinkle hat trick in over thirty years! Yet I almost remembered it perfectly. If you can find the original full episodes it is great stuff.
I do need to correct you on one previous point of a few days ago ..... it's not the typing he does with one hand ..... it's the telephone calls to forum members ex girlfriends ..... he's too tight to pay $3.99 per minute to jerk-off to a lady's voice!
Martin, you are embarrasing yourself by calling yourself "Smart". You must learn to answer questions correctly. The answer is probably just one sentence. Let's do a multiple choice.
a) Yes. I was scammed for more than $3,000.
b) Yes. I was scammed for less than $3,000.
c) No. I wasn't scammed at all.
Hint: The answer is not how much tip you gave the cab driver.
