RE: co worker says Aspies taken financially advantage of by foreign women
I'd need to see some more stats on this first. Personally, I've never been taken advantage of financially by foreign women, but give it time... XD

I think a lot of men are taken advantage of financially and in other respects by foreign women regardless of whether they have Asperger's or not. Men do the same thing to women as well. The human race sucks.

RE: co worker says Aspies taken financially advantage of by foreign women
Some aspies are prone to be taken advantage of generally. Myself included.
A lot of this attitude to foreign women, though, is just blind prejudice.
In Australia around 20+ years ago there were a lot of "mail order brides" from the Philippines coming to Australia to marry men who had difficulties finding partners. For various reasons, usually pretty obvious. Most people who commented on these marriages were inclined to say that the women were using these men to get permanent residency and citizenship in Australia, and that the marriages would not last. And guess what the statistics have shown? That those marriages have a significantly lower failure rate than marriages to Australian-born women.

RE: co worker says Aspies taken financially advantage of by foreign women
Aspies are just all that more vulnerable to devious minded foreign women. It's happened to me and I've witnessed that stuff happen around me.
One fundamental about courting a Filipina though; the culture is very social. You will be expected to yield to the will and whims of the family and social circle. It can get pretty outrageous.
I am of the opinion that the vast majority of these women will not marry for love but will marry for perceived riches; sometimes against her will but as "utang na loob" to help her family. Of course love and affection will be feigned. This is where an Aspie; who has probably never been in love before; is most vulnerable. This is a prescription for a "perfect storm" kind of thing; especially when the devious party; through charm and charisma; exploits the Aspie's social weaknesses for personal gain.
It isn't just Asperger men who are vulnerable; but the gravity of this is probably greater. When I was in love with my first wife; I was warned by an Air Force vet that my marriage probably wasn't going to work out. He was apologetic and didn't really mean so much to make it rain on my parade so much as to maybe I might decide to back out of an inevitably bad situation. He told me he was told the same thing by elders before he married his first (and Filipina) wife.
Another observation I've made: Filipina wives that did tend to stick with their American husbands tended to be married to husbands of high social status (particularly meaning husbands who drew very large incomes.) But that doesn't mean they were happy marriages. It just meant these wives could get all the bling they wanted and show off. Of such observations I've made such men were perpetually stressed and unhappy.
I have a friend who's living in the Philippines. There are alot of western men married to Filipinas. An observation he made is that the western men are either very old or they have mental disabilities. (I would imagine the latter category would be inclusive of men with Asperger Syndrome).

I hope you're only joking. Believe me, you DO NOT want to be taken advantage of.

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells and run my stick along the public railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth.I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other people's gardens. And learn to spit...
