Just curious....(For the guys only)

[britishdetained]

This is for British men only ok...


Just wondering why many foreigners preffer to marry Filipina than their own country women? What are the traits of Filipina you are being attracted with?

[Northerner]

I think in reality, men (like myself) who date and/or marry a Filipina are in a minority. But the western ideal of Beauty is more in line with what can be seen amongst a lot of Asian/Pacific Islander women. In fact, if you look at the people the west is now considering as the most Beautiful women in the world you will see a pattern emerging. As examples, I can think of Jessica Alba (), Beyonce, Eva Mendez and Eva Longoria. Now, granted these are not Filipinas, but they share many traits a Filipina has. Particularly skin pigmentation! And think of all of those white women who spend so many hours under a sunbed to try and achieve what Filipinas have naturally.

Also, Filipinas are family orientated. They want to have a family! And in this modern day there are many western women choosing not to have children but to focus on a career. Perhaps, the Filipina meets the desires a lot of men have for the woman they wish to spend the rest of their lives with?

I would find it quite strange if some guy said quite specifically "I want to marry a filipina" because thats marrying and not falling in love with,you could be on a plane flying to manila and meet a pakistani lady you fall in love with instead of wanting to meet a woman from a specific location,you cant help who you fall in love with,its chemistry and spark not location,location,location unless you fall head-over-heels for an estate agent The best looking women in the world are south and central americans and northern Pakistanis,but beauty is in the eye of the beholder?But any guy who says he just wants a lady from a certain country is limiting his options and I cant work out the reasoning

[Tawi2]

Plus its a loaded question anyway BD,your hardly going to get impartial unbiased answers on a Pinoy forum But sometimes its like a brand-name mentality "Yeah mate,I always wear armani,got my BMW,my TV is Bang & Olufsen,and my wifes a filipina"

Very true! I would guess a man from Asia would find a blonde, pale skin woman very attractive. But again there is no absolute rule. I personally like Asian women, but I have friends who prefer Red heads and so on... But personally, I had an interest in the phils and with other Asian countries since when I was young, watching Bruce Lee and then later studying Martial Arts and for a time enjoying Filipino Martial Arts

Plus, when I think of the places in this world I want to see, I think of Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan.. And rarely Europe So perhaps my attraction goes beyond finding a mate but to other reasons as well?

oh, you mean, street brawl!

No the noble art of Kali! The noble art of Dumog (wrestling), Panantukan. And the Filipino art of Kino mutai (biting and eye gouging) wait.... Yeah, street brawling

i agree with you Tawi.. North american women (not all of course) are certainly the winner in the "looks department" ......

sorry i dont subscripe to all that crap of [I CANT HELP WHO I FALL IN LOVE WITH ] if you look at someone and find them off putting in the first place you cant tell me you are likely to FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM



pilipina the best looking with the best values and they make the best wifes in the world yes dear no dear yes dear

BUT OF COURSE NOT ALL OF THEM


I WOULD NOT HAVE A WESTERN WIFE/GIRLFRIEND if she came gift wrapped for xmas

[Tawi2]

Its not crap Dave,just means you havent been around as much as I thought you had,your confines are limited,your comfort zone is pinas only I have a pinay friend,she is Uber-smart,thats smarter than smart to you and me,I asked her why older western men marry younger pinays,she laughed and introduced me to the "Brad-Pitt principle" most guys in the west get a woman their equal in looks,position,station in life,very few get the chance to punch outside their weight but even an ugly git like me can go to pinas and marry a stunner,its true,you can debate,refute,deny whatever you want to do but its true,its because of in the main one thing,thats the economic crisis in pinas,I have been to pinas once or twice,I have met hundreds of guys in the past 20 years who back in Blighty,or Berlin,or Bologne or wherever would have in their middle age been stuck with a frumpy middle aged Mrs,but they found themselves single so what did they do?They bought into the pinay dreamgirl myth Pinays make excellent wives,thats true,they make great mothers,but theres loads of flies in the ointment,my goodness,I cant remember how many Brit guys have been murdered by their pinay wives or their wives associates,families or boyfriends since I first went there I never look at any ethnicity when wearing rose-tinted spectacles,we arent ethnicities,we are individuals

[Tawi2]

i think i am going to get some negative rep on this on You got broad shoulders Dave,and skin thicker than an elephant,I think it would take more than a red blob to make you lose sleep The good thing is we are both realists.

... im not saying all filipinas are that way but from what i read i get the impression most are.

[Northerner]

Hhhhmmm. Kenny, you've just reminded me how we've lowered this sweet and simple thread to talking about "Houses of Ill Repute"

not all....i prefer my morena skin

so am i

Filipinas won't bugger off with another bloke after living with you for 16 years when you have done absolutely nothing wrong - and the courts decide in favour of the mother and force you to pay a ridiculous amount of money when you haven't got it! And taking your two children with her thus giving you depression and jeopordising your career and FORCING the sale of your house and paying a barrister to make sure that you have no chance in court!!!

Want me to carry on????

English women? No way!!!!

Al.

P.S. I fully accept that this is a wholly biased opinion and not reflective of English women - it is just my own opinion - and I am still hurting from 'losing' my children - and part of my life.

Thank God I have found Hanna!

Hummm...now i understand thanks. I really noticed that many westerners prefer to date women with brown complexion. But funny how many Filipinas are dying to have their skin whiten

Some truth on what you said,if not true. I think some men have the ideal or preference woman in their mind when it comes to personal choice. I understand you can meet and fall in love with someone regardless. I guess, some men are attracted to Asian and some men attracted to western women and vice versa. In the end it all comes to preferences...Not when you fall in love thoug.

[Tawi2]

Another point,salient at that for the "I want to marry a pinay" brigade,it cant be for their looks because you can see pinay looking women in Thailand,Malaysia,indonesia,even Belize so it cant be the looks and you get similar strong family bond traits all around the world in loads of different cultures,thats fact,so why the fascination with pinays?

[Northerner]

so why the fascination with pinays?

If I knew the answer to that question, I would be giving lectures to pact out theatres

Tawi, maybe you should get the guy who gave you your degree to sort you out with a PHD in Filipina/Westerner relationships, then you could make the $$$ telling people

[eagles]

"I want to marry a filipina" because thats marrying and not falling in love with,

its not merely marrying a filipina after failing to have a better or best relationship with western ladies..

Filipinas won't bugger off with another bloke after living with you for 16 years when you have done absolutely nothing wrong - and the courts decide in favour of the mother and force you to pay a ridiculous amount of money when you haven't got it! And taking your two children with her thus giving you depression and jeopordising your career and FORCING the sale of your house and paying a barrister to make sure that you have no chance in court!!!

Want me to carry on????

English women? No way!!!!

Looks like we are second chance, 3rd chance or the better option after failing one..

As a Filipina, we wanted to be chosen as someone who showed character and values that any man will need for ( not simply wanting) regardless of the race, color, intellect etc.

personally , i wanted to say " LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM"

want is just filling in a part of desires... but needing is something we have to have to go FURTHER in life...

hope i don't sound perfectionist.. But a woman desires to be Love as being important to a Man..

[eagles]

I have researched depression AT LENGTH since I developed the illness. Of course, mental illnesses are HIGHLY embarrassing - most people tend to believe either that you are 'pulling legs' or that you have become a 'loony.'
Even now - many years after the event, I find it difficult to explain to Hanna why, on some days, I don't want to hug and kiss. I know that she doesn't understand.
It is a VERY terrible illness indeed.

Hugs from a friend ALAN..

depression can be overcome in many ways .. Just be positive thinking and embrace the Love and care you have now with your Filipina lady..
