I love filipina women. I have been with Filipina's who have moved to America, and I have been with Filipina's in the Philippines. I have also, been with Philippine Americans. The funny thing is each one of these women are so completely different. Contrary to popular belief alot of Filipina's in the Philippines don't all want to come to the States. The ones who have come to the States have come via their husband who is Filipino and served in the Armed forces and defended our country with HONOR. Some of the others were brought to the States because their husband was an American service man. Others have come by way of being petitioned by their families, and lastly the mail order bride.

The mail order bride and the American service man's wife seem to be written about alot on Craigslist. One of the major issues is alot of these military guys who were young and immature, or old and lonely found these girls at questionable places i.e. Go Go bars, strip clubs, whorehouses, and bars.

They (bargirls) knew there was a better life for them in the States and they both used each other to get here, but all the blame does not fall solely on these women. These guys got hot young little women who gave them everything they wanted in the Philippines and when they came to the States things changed. First off they met other women who were in the same profession that they were in and those husbands began to the learn the phrase "once a bar girl always a bar girl". They knew what they had there in the Philippines and some how they felt they were going to change this girl into some kind of perfect respectable housewife. Funny thing is some of these women did change into great wives and mothers.

SO why do men go to the Philippines and find women and not in their own country? Such a burning question alot of men who have never been there would probably like to know.

I believe Philippine women are just better lovers (my opinion) and more passionate than there white counterparts. I find that Philippine women are similar to Latino women since there is a long history of the Spanish in the Philippines. They seem to have that passionate blood of latina's, because they damn sure have the temper.

But, what truly fascinates us men to go to the Philippines and cheat on our wives, girlfriends, and fiances. What do they have that we just can't resist and makes us want to marry them or just have sex with them. Is it their skin tone that drives us crazy? Is it their need to please us in any way? Is it those cute little petite bodies? For me, I guess it's all of the above. For the past twenty five years I have only been with Asian women. I have been with just about every nationality of asian women, but my love for Filipina's always wins out over all the others.

I'm truly curious as to what other men feel about this topic. Of course, we will get all the crude comments from some of our less educated men, but I think most of us expect that.

Also Filipino men, what do you find so special about white women are they as different as filipina to white as we find white to filipina. I am very serious I would really like to know.
Since everyone is starting to show pictures of who they really are here is my pictures. I am West Indian and American born in Barbados to an American service Man (Navy Brat) By the way the Woman in the picture with me is Cheryl Burke of Dancing with the Stars and she is Filipina. Did I? Only in my wildest dreams.

I may or may not have started this subject more than a month ago. I discovered here on Craig's list, that many Filipino people, both men and women, do not understand why Europeans and Americans are seeking Asian wives.

It is not as post below says. It is not that these men, like myself and many men I know, who now have young families with younger Thai and Filipina women, are losers or sex freaks. Please understand this everyone.... the reason we have found wives overseas, is that REAL women are available and interested in us from Thailand and especially PHIL. There are 31,000 Filipinas on Blossoms.com
Filipinos reading this, please don't live in denial. These women are not losers. They want a better life. Is that so bad? This is where I met my wife, and despite some real problems, we have a beautiful daughter now and hope for another. Does that sound like a sex freak to you?

The reason we go overseas is that REAL women are no longer available in USA and Europe. Didn't you know that? Now you know.

REAL men want to be a good husband, a good provider, a good father FIRST. This is called family values. Try finding a woman in WEST who has family values! It is almost impossible. Find a woman in west who can say out loud... " I want first to be a good wife, above all. I want first to be a good home maker above all. I want first to be a good mother, above all" Try finding that! I found her in Mindanoa. I am a winner.

Carreer, materialism, status,FASHION comes first with Western women. And feminism has turned many people with female body parts into people who think and want to think like a man. It is not attractive, it is huge turn off. If a man wanted to be with another man, he would go gay. We want REAL women! These pollutions are entering Asian culture, especially in cities in last 20 years, but there are still REAL women who want REAL men in PHIL.

Please understand, that in Asian countries older people are respected and in WEST
they are not. So for Western older man to go to PHIL and meet young REAL women, is the SMART winners choice. I married a virgin with sensibilities of
virgin. She did not give herself away. She saved herself for marriage. And for her, in her view (which has not changed), the lack of opportunity=jobs in PHIL, made it so there were no REAL men available for her. The real Filipino man was either in a class that would not consider her, or already overseas working for his family. The lack of opportunity in PHIL cannot be ignored. She saw it all around her, and five years later, situation is worse than before.

The most intelligent men, the most honest, the ones with morals and FAMILY VALUES take the winners choice and go overseas to find a wife and mother for their children, because there are very very few chaste, family devoted women left in WEST.

In 1992 over 30% of children were born outside marriage and almost all single mothers live in poverty. So did feminism help USA? Does USA sound like healthy culture? 30% obesity? A healthy man must look overseas for a healthy woman.

If you have family values, then you should be happy for all the men and women, whatever their race or age, who have found a partner to start a new family with.

If you don't have these values, stop and look at the minutes of your life. You are wasting your time looking for anything but a good father or mother for your future children. Everything else is vanity... "painted cakes will not satisfy hunger."

To the haters, please don't respond. You have homework to do. To the thinkers, let's correspond. I can help you find a real man or real woman. It is your time on Earth. Don't waste it.

Photo is of our first daughter. My wife is women on right, tired from birthing.
The two others are women who married men 25+ years older than themselves, and each have one child from their family values marriage.

why filipinas like white men

To all the girls in the Philippines, and asian girls around the world,

why would a guy travel across the world to find a bride?

because he cannot find one where he lives.

That is because he is a social outcast, a freak, pervert, or he is old, or he has divorced, or he is plain ugly and unattractive.

The real men find wives where they live.

and the women in asia get the leftovers.

Girls of the Philippines, don't compromise your heart. Marry men who are compatible with you. Men who haven't spent their youth already, men who have vitality and who still have the strength to take care of you, and be with you till the end of the age. Don't settle for the freaks who come overseas to prey on you.

Mr morality strikes again! Would you listen to the double standards you are spouting?

Oh rubbish. Just because you can't get a decent woman in your own country doesn't meen they are not there. I suppose you'd say any woman who won't sleep with you must be a lesbian too!

I don't hear too many men saying that either Kate. Women these days have lives outside the home, and no woman should feel guilty for aspiring to have a bit more from her existance than pumping out babies and washing your socks!

Women who want careers and independance are not men. They are not trying to be men. Strong women are just that - strong women. Strength is no a trait exclusive only to men. Obviously you like to be dominant and strong women scare you! :P

they are not. So for Western older man to go to PHIL and meet young REAL women, is the SMART winners choice. I married a virgin with sensibilities of

And pray tell, did you? Were you a meek little virgin on your wedding night?

Very few chaste men in the west too Kate - do you practice what you preach? ;)In 1992 over 30% of children were born outside marriage and almost all single mothers live in poverty. So did feminism help USA? Does USA sound like healthy culture? 30% obesity? A healthy man must look overseas for a healthy woman.
For almost every single mother there is a man who didn't take his parental resposibilities seriously - or at the very least, practice safe sex. It takes two to tango. 30% obesity? While you are looking up the stats, what percentage of those obese people are men? I'm sure there are just as many overweight guys in the west as there are fat chicks. If not more!

 

Oh heavens Kate (Kate?) I really don't know where to start with you!!! Call me a "hater" if you will, but I find your comments chauvenistic and offensive to western women. I'm sure you are a family man and not a sexpat but would you listen to yourself? Strong liberated women "want to be men" and we should all go home, pump out 10 babies and chain ourselves to the kitchen sink? Oh, and not have sex till we're married. Ever heard of double standards Kate?  Were you a virgin till you married? :P

my ten cents worth:  why do guys from the west like to travel halfway around the globe to get a Filipina wife?  i guess it boils down to the fact that there are already too many Alpha females in the west.  here in the Philippines, submissiveness and a caring personality/attitude among filipinas still prevails.  guys regardless of nationality would prefer their women this way.

at the core, men want to be needed and women want to be loved.  oh western guys will surely feel needed any time of day by a Beta filipina wife.

i'm just shooting from the hip so don't take this post too seriously guys :)

I think u have a very valid point there Maven.

Depending upon what country the guy is from, what values HE has & what values WOMEN in his country have.....

When i compare Swedish & American women (in general) to Pinays (in general)....ther ARE differences.....no question about it. This is often to the Pinays benefit. Simply beacuse i believe that even if a woman chooses to have a career & so...it doesnt mean she has to give up beeing feminine & caring does it?

A few years ago i would have said; " all western women are this & that...to put it mildly (exept Mom, a chosen few & relatives)". Well, I still do feel that to a certain degree....BUT, there are of course western women out there that are ok too..... 

I should know, I´ve been very happily married to a Swedish woman for a 1.5 years now.... I guess i don´t have to tell anyone (western males) that IF u have a little bit more...shall we say, conservative & old fasioned values u are just not as compatible with many western women as u would be with many Pinays. Don´t get me wrong now, my wife is a very strong person & we have a very symbiotic relationship...without her "wearing the pants" in the family which is (sorry to say all to common in the west).  I´m the MAN & she´s the WOMAN...as simple as that. We never have any arguments of who should do what or any of the bullshit migrane creating crap that u would have in most (western-western) relationships.

It aint easy though.... took me 34 years to find my wife (actually she found me...but it sounds more macho to say i found her..he he :) :D)

WOW - lay down the clubs people!  PLEASE...no violence! :shock: :D

I'm not taking sides here....people I THINK "kate" did many "cut & paste" jobs on this one, not sure if it is HIS words or not, just some views. READ the TITLE - "various points of view/copy and paste".  Maybe I'm wrong.....I think this goes with the "WHY a PINAY" topic from days long ago.

There ARE double standards with some western men. But the same time, how many times have I heard (to me or too another guy) a western woman threaten to "knock your head off" shaking her fist, as a threat you better not do such & such,:(....... to me, that relationship ends right then and there!  But yet if a guy did that....boom go straight to jail. My point is the western women have as many double standards also. My wife never even raises her voice, (except when she is on a phone....I don't get that one:D)  I don't raise my voice either, I think :?.

A nice peaceful marriage is BLISSFUL! I couldn't find a western lady that knew how to listen with her ears during a discussion.  Whenever we had a disagreement, it was ALWAYS, trying to prove me WRONG no matter the costs. My FILIPINA wife and I can sit and talk things out like mature people, and she does it WITHOUT a MARINE style haircut. :D :shock: :D

Lets not kick KATE or SIRENA too hard......they are just posting their views and the views of others ;)

That's my 2 pesos worth.;)

Let me be very clear,the article IS a copy and paste from another website, craigslist Philippines section.The rants and raves section. It does not reflect my personal opinion. Hence the term,copy and paste. However,I was glad to see that Sirena gave her unbiased opinion.It was not my intention to anger thee.

These double standards about western women from western sexpats do anger me. Statements like:

"But, what truly fascinates us men to go to the Philippines and cheat on our wives, girlfriends, and fiances. What do they have that we just can't resist and makes us want to marry them or just have sex with them"

followed by a load of drivel about conservative family values are ridiculous. As is the comment that a woman who wishes to use her brain as well as her uterus and not be confined to the house in a life of domestic drudgery is not a "real woman". I'm sure that many of my educated Filipina friends would also find those comments offensive - as they themselves manage to combine careers with healthy, loving EQUAL relationships (and don't feel any urge to "please western men in any way"!

If these are genuinely not your opinions Kate then fair enough. But men like these who can't find a wife back home haven't been looking in the wrong country, they have been looking in the wrong century!

He he...:) 

member Kate has succeeded in stirring up some feelings (by reposting what has been posted on another Board). I bet that´s what his intention was....correct me if i´m wrong Kate ;).

I fully understand your wiewpoint on this subject Sirena & i´m sure there are Filipinas out there who would agree with every word u wrote.

We all have different values & ways to make our relationships work & as long as the two involved in the specific relationship are happy with it & if it works....Fine!

I have a question though..... Does anyone know what the % for the divorce rate/seperations in the Phils is? I´m thinking both between Pinoy-Pinay and western-Filpino/Filipina.

We all know that in the west there is a very high % of marriages ending up in a divorce. If it´s lower in the Phils...then what are they doing right that we in the west obviously are not?

 

Cheers!

Get your rocks ready to throw at me folks :shock:.....

Divorce is MUCH lower in the Philippines, WHY? It's not allowed, very difficult to obtain a divorce, unless you have a LOT of money, I guess they consider it SINFUL - :shock: Hummmm. The PHILIPPINE government would rather people just split up, then get with a new patner, make more kids and the vicious cycle starts again. Sure there is less divorce, but the Children born out of wedlock is probably near as high as it is here in the STATES.:shock:  Hear me out now....There are MANY people married, split up and either live with someone else, or they marry a 2nd person, and start a new family. DIVORCE is LOWER, but POLYGAMY is MUCH higher, they just don't live with all of the spouses at the same time.

Personally, I think it is up to each person, live together or marriage. BUT A LAW THAT SAYS YOU CAN'T DIVORCE (or it takes years & money to do) BECAUSE IT IS "SINFUL", THUS PEOPLE JUST "COMMIT ADULTERY". I'm NOT judging anyone, my point is, this "law" is based on Catholic Doctrine, "to keep the peple more Saintly", is nothing more than pure Crap-ola. The only thing that Law has produced is MORE affairs, MORE double marriages, MORE Childern out of wedlock! But I guess the Catholic Church is satisfied with that :shock: :(! 

And yes I know the USA has it's problems...we are just talking about the PHILIPPINES here on this board, this is not a personal attack against any one person or religion, please don't be offened.

 I agree with you, Sirena,his statement is utterly ridiculous.It is his opinion and does not reflect the national male perspective I am sure.However,look at the statistics in the USA.The divorce rate between Caucasion/Caucasion marriages is 60% and rising.The failure rate of Filipina/Caucasion marriages is MUCH lower. I think there must be something lacking if so many men retire to the Philippines or Thailand and take wives there.Look at the failed marriage of Paul McCartney,Heather Mills is an American and she is taking him for all she can get.I see alot of American men here in the USA with Filipina wives.They seem to be happier.Yet I still agree with the one thread,that if men have to go overseas to find Filipinas for marriage,they must be total losers if they cannot find women where they live.But look at the flipside,look at the thousands of Filipinas looking for marriage abroad in websites like http://www.Cherryblossoms.com  and http://www.Filipinaheart.com.   What,Filipinas cannot find men where they live so they are looking overseas? Whats wrong with the Filipino men where they live? The why is economics,how many Filipinos have really good jobs in the Philippines? They do not,thats why they go abroad as OFWs to find work.There is alot of adultery in the Philippines thanks to Catholicism,Filipinos are not faithful to their Filipino wives.So the women look abroad.What,Filipinas cannot find men where they live? What,American men cannot find women where they live in the USA so they go abroad to find Filipina wives? Whats wrong with American women,are we not desirable enough? Whats wrong with Filipino men? Are they not desirable enough for Filipinas? Why do so many American men lust after Filipina,Japanese and Thai and Brazilian women? Why do so many Filipino men secretly lust after American women? It is a two way street. Look at the many Filipinas advertising themselves on http://www.craigslist.org in the women seeking men subsection,Philippines category.

The divorce rate may be higher in the west, but what's the point? That western womens are to blame?

I certainly wouldn't agree that a man "must be a total loser" to want a Filipina wife - there are many wonderful women here, but if the guy literally CAN'T find a wife in his own country then perhaps there is something wrong with him and he should take a look at himself as opposed to insulting all the women who refused to date him!

There are many real and loving relationships between westerners and Filipinos/Filipinas, but there are also many ignorant freaks of nature with a beautiful Filipina girl on their arm who are taking advantage of the fact that many people in the Philippines live in poverty. They know full well deep down that gorgeous young woman would not be with them if it were not for their cash - no matter how many excuses they cough up!


Western men cheat just as much as Filipinos, and of course the divorce rate is negligable as divorce is not legal in the Philippines - you can't make a fair comparison. I'd say most Filipinas advertising on dating sites are probably looking for foreign men for financial reasons.

Of course I somewhat agree with what your post says.

Name me one western woman who doesn't consider the man's financial situation when FIRST MEETING him. OK, you might know 1.:P

Myself Not being a Filipina, I can only write what I have read in MANY other Forums. The poorer class in the Philippines have almost Zero chance to marry a Filipino of higher financial status, and from what I have READ, the marriage life of the poor is not too glamourous, a lot of stress and disrespect. They find the western men to pay more attention to them as a wife, of course there is the financial part, and treat them with more respect.

Another point that I would like to bring up. This is something I just don't understand. The type of Filipina that the western man finds beautiful, is NOT the same lady a Filipino man finds beautiful. Examples are, the Filipinos like the following traits: BIGGER the nose the better??, lighter the skin the better, if they can cake on the make-up to look PAINTED-WHITE, then do it?!?!? I know of a couple of Filipinas here in the States that won beauty pagents, rather Large beauty pagents, but in the PHILIPPINES they would be considered average, too dark skinned, and the nose too small. Don't understand? Check out 90% of the up & coming or already famous Filipino actresses, it looks as if a couple have had a nose implant. Now, I'm not knocking their looks, my point being, what is attractive in the PHILIPPINES is not exacly what the WEST calls attractive.

So a poor village girl that has brown skin and a small cute button nose is basically stuck, she is nothing special in the PHILIPPINES. 

Personally, I married a Filipina for different reasons. I like a slightly younger woman, my wife is around 10 years younger than I. Very few American women marry with that age gap....unless the guy is SUPER rich. I like slightly darker skin, I like long dark hair. And the small framed ladies. A Filipina fits my choice, so do many other Asians, but the other Asians usually have a language barrier. The few younger ladies that I dated here in the States only wanted me to spend money on them, then drop them off. I felt like I was taking my daughter on a shopping spree or out to eat, only they weren't young enough to be my daughter. The ladies in my age group, usually way TOO much baggage, 3 kids...2 exs in the picture, blah, blah, blah. It was dating in a whole different world. NO THANK YOU!

I think there are bad sterotypes on both sides, that just aren't accurate. And of course there are the bad cases on each side.

Maybe some of our Filipina ladies can shed some more light on this...Maybe.

That info is free to everyone today - NO charge-- :D

I'm not sure I agree that western men treat Filipinas with more respect. From what I've seen, many (of course not all) of them cheat with other women and treat their girlfriends as sex objects.

I was talking about the married couples here that I know. I'm sure the guys that move there to "have fun" their last 20-30 years on earth have a different attitude. As always, we have to be careful about grouping all of them together.....I didn't even think about what you wrote, but I'm sure you see a lot of it, or too much of it anyway.

Yes, I do. And from married men too,  and those in long term relationships and with kids. They still think nothing of cheating or heading off to Angeles for a dirty weekend with their mates. Sadly, very often the wives put up with it.

But of course I know not every foreigner is a sexpat and there are loads of genuine loving relationships out there - I'm in one of them!

I would have to add that yes, men are to blame for their initial mistakes.  But when this keeps on going on, the wife is deemed as an accomplice for not having had the guts to stand up and give the guy hell for his errors.

Ok... I didn't read the whole thing I'll admit, but in my case... it was actually an "accidental" meeting. I was not actively seeking a spouse (maybe subconsciously I was), but things just kind of happened between my wife and I, and happened fast.

I believe there are nice, loveable people everywhere.

Late reply, but better late then never. I am a single here since many years back now. 37 years old. I lead a good life here and have a nice job. A nice life. I travel at least one month per year and I know many of my friends that cant afford that. So I consdider myself fortunate in that way. In Sweden there are many wonderful and nice girls but they are just not my style anymore. That doesnt mean that I am saying all western girls are the same, this and that. The first time I went to Asia back in 1991 I was 21 years old. I had an interest for Asian girls already back then, but there was so much else back than that was more interesting in the whole new world which was Asia. I lived together a few years with a Swedish gf which was Indian (adopted when she was a child) and that nice years. My first gf in Sweden when I was 14 was adopted from Korea. Maybe this is a reason to my liking of Asian looking girls, I am not sure. I had one long relationship with a girl living in Asia. She was Vietnamese. My interest in having an Asian wife has gotten stronger year by year. I will probably look more actively for that in the near future. I am not chosing a girl from Asia for any other reason that it is to my liking and I love that part of the world. I feel like I am not even responding to girls/women that is interested in me anymore :D. Maybe a reason I have been alone here for many years now :D. Am I getting outside the topic ??? Sorry about that. I just want to say that taste are different and as long as people have a good mind and not trying to take advantage of someone else it is ok. I am not fat, I am not looking for sex only and I live a healthy life with a lot of exercise. I am not a loser, but I look an Asian gf anyway!!!

Personally, I married a Filipina for different reasons. I like a slightly younger woman, my wife is around 10 years younger than I. Very few American women marry with that age gap....unless the guy is SUPER rich. I like slightly darker skin, I like long dark hair. And the small framed ladies. A Filipina fits my choice, so do many other Asians, but the other Asians usually have a language barrier. The few younger ladies that I dated here in the States only wanted me to spend money on them, then drop them off. I felt like I was taking my daughter on a shopping spree or out to eat, only they weren't young enough to be my daughter. The ladies in my age group, usually way TOO much baggage, 3 kids...2 exs in the picture, blah, blah, blah. It was dating in a whole different world. NO THANK YOU!
Hehe, this might also be one of the reasons I would like a 10 years younger Filipina! We are a few guys around here that recognizes this...good people most I know, not overweight...good jobs..single between 30 and 40...

I would not mind walking hand in hand here with a cute Filipina that loves me!!!

Hi to all! why there are so many people here in this site talking about FILIPINA and FILIPINO, PINAY and  PINOY. Well me, im just new in this site and looking forward to meet friend. And im a FILIPINA. And when i see this site it makes interest becoz of what ive read and im curious.

So, why are you guys talking about Filipina and Filipino, Pinoy and Pinay. Here in philippines, theres is so many girl married and having boyfriend like Foreign guy. But me either, I dont know why they have to find there gf or a wife in Overseas. As i've know that is becoz that american guy knows how to  takecare a filipina/Pinay girl. And the american guy give the girl a Nice Life, Nice Home, and Nice Future.

I have a question,,,,, Why are some americans go find wife  or gf in other country, just like philippines???
