    I've dated a few Filipinas in my time. You have to establish the ground rules from the beginning. I'm 6'2" (188cm) and don't like riding in Jeepneys. I prefer to get a trike or taxi. Still, a trike is uncomfortable for me as my head bangs on the roof. Jeepneys and trikes are not designed for tall, western men.
    Dating: It's different dating Filipinas. They are shy and difficult to read. Novices will end up paying for a family outing or for several of her friends. Filipinas are addicted to their phones and want to take pics of everything. I oblige, but I kindly ask them to put their phone away. If not, I pay the bill and walk away. You will soon understand only one in ten Filipinas are worth pursuing. Similar to dating in the West.
    Be careful, as a one night stand may quickly develop into her family knocking on your bedroom door. Tread with care.
    Don't get me wrong, if you find the right Filipina, she will change your life. They tap into your masculine energy and make you a better man.
    My suggestion is to not have too many expectations, relax, and enjoy the attention you will receive. It's great!

    It really is that easy to date there. For any guy fat, old, weird, bald, doesn’t matter. Don’t pick the first one and stay single for a 6-months to a year at least! Don’t ever give money for any reason besides pay for food and 100 pesos for trike money. She asks for money beyond that block her immediately.

    A Filipina who is a good match really is a dream wife. The problem is that they are located on the other side of the world. I got lucky and met my wife in the US and frankly, its not that much different than an American girl for me except, I felt she was trust worthy and very capable as we traditional wife who is an anchor in the family. I know she was a better first time mother also, as she seemed to automatically know how to raise children. So, yes, they are very attractive, fun and excellent wives and moms. They are feminine, dress classy and a very good companion and partner in life, they way things used to be, many years ago.

    Just ask yourself if you would ever offer someone you never met a picture of your family member in a hospital. Or screenshots of grab rides to and from a hospital. This is the long con. They won't ask you outright but they will pull your heart strings hoping you will offer.

    • @MickeyMousePark
      @MickeyMousePark 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      this is a strong point..fewer and fewer filipinas actually ask directly for money..if it is LDR then a few pictures or stories about nanay in the hospital or how her house has leaks or the last typhoon removed most of her house...no food to eat..they are very very smart about how this affects people from the western world..the other common one is using the exchange strategy .."i just need a small amount $100" that is a pretty small amount in the west (i would spend that on a good dinner) but it is P5000 here and is equivalent to 10 days pay outside Manila ..or a months pay in the province..imagine if you asked someone for a months pay in the west ..just need you to send me $5000+ ..i have now lived here for 18 months i see this and once you learn how the economy works here those stories no longer work...

    Young and skinny? Some are. However, there are plenty of Filipinas who eat way too much Jollibee and junk food in general. They don't work out, and sooner or later, they end up losing their beauty faster than they should have.

    But I find the people to be very warm with a big heart. There is a Filipino man that is looking after a random stranger broke expat right now that got dumped from the hospital where he worked because his family overseas would no longer pay for his care. This Filipino man who already is very poor took this stranger expat home to look after him. I am not saying who it is but if you look you can find him in Valencia.

      @@bobbyjames4300 Well, I know it’s changed. You’re right. However, I still see Filipina women and some from good families in the provinces that are still formed in the old pattern and family oriented. Our son is married to a traditional Filipina for 4 years already. They seem really good together.
      I do understand the situation out there. However, there still are traditional women in the Philippines. Like I said, my son is no exception but I will say that I do see the provincial girl stereotype as having some validity. You can still find college educated women in the provinces also and thats a good formula if you can find it. Also a mid thirties Filipina can be great (pre TikTok).

    How serious could it possibly be if she doesn't call you.. No private communication makes it hard to take a situation serious. They have a scam with camaras where they threaten to share pictures of you to people on facebook. I didn't think that was a problem but god only knows what someone who is trying to get leverage over you and your money will try to do,

      2 ways to look at "clingy". She's smothering you or she's devoted to you. I had a talk early on with my fiancee about "holding me too close". Now she understands, and knows there needs to be space even while she is still devoted to me as I am to her. Filipina are wonderful but you need to communicate.
