To be gobsmacked at a school dad?

[sozzledchops]

have spoke to him a few times as the kids like to stay and play after school. Today, he said how he couldn't wait to leave the country as it's shit, especially since they let in all the foreigners ( his partner is filipino and they plan to move there). That he's had it up to here with English woman who just take you for all they can get.

I did respond with saying that I like living here, there are a lot worse places and that that was a lot of women he was generalising about, maybe he wasn't very good at picking suitable girlfriend/wife material. Also that his partner was one of the foreigners he was talking about it. Was I unreasonable to feel a bit ? I actually held myself back from saying a lot more.

So he is going to be the foreigner now living in his wifes country?

Did he actually realise what he was saying lol

mofo.....great minds think alike and at the same time.

soooo because he doesn't like forriners, he will be moving to another country where, er, he'll be one.

I assume he'll be happy for the people of that country to make such comments about him.

He sounds like a twat.

What did he say to your reply?

Well, he did catch me by surprise and I did think how did he really expect me to respond to all that. I'm not English so maybe he felt I wouldn't be offended at him slagging off the UK and english women.

The one thing I didn't say was that of course you probably can't attract and keep a decent woman and I'm sure your partner isn't in it for what she can get either, but didn't really want to be disrespectful to her.

Hecat - my reply? He didn't say much, just smiled and looked pleased with himself. I just left before I let my big mouth get the better of me.

Idiot with massive insecurity ishoos wrt women, and a sense of being some sort of god thanks to being white too, plus possibly some perception that Asian women are docile, obedient, there to please him and 100% willingly too. In other words, he can only deal with women if they appear to him to be one or at most two dimensional.

Good luck to him in the Phillippines. There are no flies on Phillippino women,. They will have him for breakfast.

Family members work in mining and oil industry - many men (who work so many weeks on so many off rotas) seem to have homes/gfriends in the far east.

It seems a bit selfish to me as it means they are not seeing much of any family they still have in the west.

The Phillipines is not the nicest place to live, or at least Manilla is horribly overcrowded with great poverty but he won't be living in those sort of areas I don't suppose.

Math - I have quite a few Filipino friends, docile isn't a word I'd use to describe them. And him being all rosy about the Philippines - unless you have money to buffer you from the poverty then most Filipinos I've met would give their eye teeth to move somewhere else more stable and affluent.

So sounds like he's been through a divorce, and hence all (English) women are shit because his ex probably got the house/some money... and from the sounds of this delightful creature she was probably due the lot.

YANBU. I had this once with a taxi driver- he spent the entire journey telling me about his imminent move to Spain because England was so crap. As we pulled up to the station, and noticing the line of taxis driven by Asian (mainly Muslim) men, started a rant about how appalling it was that all these foreigners came over here, ruining the country, etc.

I was actually lost for words about how someone could be so stupid- the perfect example of cognitive dissonance.

Frankly I think you did well to be able to bite your tongue OP!

I agree Sozzled. He is in for a rude awakening.
