Avoid "French bakery" Its where the spiders wait to catch their flies

"French bakery" And what is this establishment? And where is it?

Bearing in mind I will have Rizza with me most of time (if not all of the time)

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

I was never looking for a filipina, but now i have found one and fallan in love with one she is a real special lady, beautiful in everyway to me, with a unique smile, caring and considerate, lovable, affectionate.... should i go on
... im not saying all filipinas are that way but from what i read i get the impression most are.

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

brown skin some how a blonde white skin pilipina has gone to far west for my liking

Sorry, but white skin isn't the term for it. Unless you've met someone with truckloads of money who can afford to sit in a vat of expensive bleaching stuff for hours, what you'll see is ashen skin with some scarring caused by the acid that the unlucky lady used (ladies, you familiar with Mena? don't try it. i know someone who looked gray-reddish-morena. that stuff burns your skin off in the long run!)

Loads of street kids in Cebu,avoid the footbridge next to Robinsons at night if you dont want to see loads of them sleeping under cardboard,very sad,I gave a kid 50 or 100 pesos earlier this year,he was a very small skinny kid,and this older girl tried to mug him He kept near me for protection till she left,always be thankfull for what you have,this country mightnt seem so great at times but some of the alternatives dont bear thinking about

Aww, poor kid. That was a nice thing you did. Hopefully, he wasn't part of a "syndicate" (think Oliver Twist). Else the grown up would have gotten the money when you turned to leave.

Good grief! Hahaha! Why were you sitting alone anyway?

I'm glad there are no homeless people where I live. My bf's visiting this December (I'm going home too! Yippee!!) and he's gonna have to rent a condo five minutes from my home. My aunt suggested renting a room in the house behind our next-door neighbor, but I'm not sure if Matt's paid for his room or not. His only other options were in the Burgos area in Makati. As close as that is to me, I'd rather have him on one of my granddad's sofas than have him dodging pimps and streetwalkers everyday. I hate Burgos. I got chased by some white guy a couple years ago when I walked a friend home after work and his place was at the opposite side of Burgos from mine. Stupid foreigner probably thought any girl walking around there at 5am *obviously* worked there.

Waitaminnit. How did this thread change from topic A to topic B?

Getting back on topic, it's kinda funny to read "i'm looking for any good woman, not a specific race" while we're all here at a forum specifically for dating Filipinas. But I understand though. Filipinas work hard to help make life easier for their men. It gets better when the men can provide more as it means the Filipina can focus more on nurturing than on worrying about bills to pay. I always figured women everywhere were the same, but after reading all your posts, I think I've changed my mind.

Ditto..........

Thanks for that Dom!

Having met Hanna a few times I will agree that you should "Thank God" for her as she is so obviously a genuinely nice person..Anyone that meets her can tell that..(bloody good cook too)

I must say though Al not everybody is nearly as lucky as you or I.. Even here.

Thanks for that Fred. I agree - Hanna seems to be able to make friends before she has even opened her mouth!!! I wish I had her gift!! And yes, I REALLY appreciate how lucky I am - she has probably saved me from doing something stupid.

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?

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.

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
