For me one of the attractions is the dedication to their family.
When my father became disabled & his health deteriorated I became his carer as I did not want him to go into a care home. I found that many British women were put off by this and thought that I had something wrong with me& many British women believe that its better to put a family member in a home rather than sacrifice their social life. After joining a penpal site & chatting with Filipinos, I found that it was the opposite attitude with Filipino women & that putting family members first before yourself was considered a good thing for a future partner to believe in.
I am quite old fashioned in my views about what is acceptable in relationships & I found that Filipino women believe in the same values for relationships & families as I do.
