Why A Filipina?

[Thomas]

i was reading lots of your blogs here, but one thing that I really am curious about why marry a Filipina considering that the Filipino culture is way too complicated to live with... I am a Filipina (I am proud to be one - hmmmn, I am just saying this because it is expected of me, I guess, LOL!)...

From what I've come to know, the Philippines is the land for the mature secure foreign gentleman. There isn't any other place on earth that I'm aware of that has 18 year old ladies prefering mature gents over young lads.

For me it's because I want to move to a warm, nice, low cost country, and there are few to chose from. And when living in a foreign country it's good to have a native wife. It's no minus many Filipinas are nice :)

-

NOT because of the age difference acceptance for me. I'm lucky I have genes making "everyone" doubt I'm as old as I realy am, some ask more than one tiime "Are you REALY 59??!" don't believing me when I say it :)

(Even after an evil insect gave me brain inflammation knocking me out and "finaly" gave me a bit grey hair, much younger kano women (around 30) are interested in me. The more I recover, the younger I look, so I better look up so I don't end up looking as a baby :mocking: I don't want a teenager anyway, but because of settle in the Philippines I think I better get some children, so I have some to take care of me when I get old. This make my wife need to be rather young. My gf is 27, which I believe is a good mix of necesary youth and mature thinking. (She think much better than average, and learn fast.) I haven't moved yet, trying to do so next year. Plan to live close to "my" Filipina some months to get to know her better before take final decision if we suit good enough to marry. But I believe so.)

Well for me I had been married before but had never found a woman who treats me the way my asawa treats me ..... she puts me before herself

I think it is very of a typical Filipina wife to put her husband before herself, Mike... it must be a cultural thing :morning1:

I never married any filipina, i married to my wife which i love and appreciate no matter where in the world she comes from. She so happened to be a filipina, her ethnicity and nationality did not mean anything to me. I have had girlfriends and lovers from virtually the entire earth. Ethnicity, nationality sland eyes yellow brown black or white...perhaps pink will do :), DOES NOT MATTER.

What it matters is the person you have decided to share the rest of your life with to be the one you really want.

Nothing special with filipinas, they are women as in the rest of the world, good or bad no one can tell. The woman who might be bad for me or to me can be an angel and his all the time wishing mate to be.

Culutre and all the rest...they all have a certain culture from every place in the world, how it applies to the man who marries them though is a TOTALLY different story.

Now if you choose filipina because:

1. she speaks english, she can understand me
   
2. my 1200$/month pension money will keep her happy
   
3. I am 60++ but even at her <25 she can understand how i feel
   
4. she is not raising her voice to me
   
5. she will be as such and will do as such and will take care of...
   

Then you end up to usually other forums stating as

1. Filipinas speak english and can manipulate the law and advantages they get as soon as they come to US-Australia-Europe...zimbabwe...(why not???)
   
2. Filipinas will spend each and every dime you give them in stupid expends without thinking the future etc (what future on 1200$?? prices are on year 2012, perhaps you should get there too)
   
3. Filipinas take advantage of elder men by fooling them on everything until they satisfy their need then they throw them like a peanut shell. (you were not good in math at school...65-25=40 years of difference...your money to spend as you like....her life to do what she likes with it)
   
4. Filipinas are constantly complaining about every little thing. (All women do!!!)
   
5. She never was any of the "will" i was expecting from a filipina (because filipina refers to a woman and that's what she is).
   

Time to go to the bar!!!!!

find myself smiling reading this again for the nth time. Nice post, Papa Carl! :th_thbestpost:

julia i met my filipina here she has been in oz for more than 30 years, we are both about the same age 60+.When we met i did not even ask what country she was from it did not matter to me i just see people as people,no matter where they come from, yes the culture is hard to get your head around for a westerner.she mainly mixes with her sister that is here and her family mainly filipinas.She gets on well with my sons and there wives and my grand kids.She is a good woman, loves shopping and eating out at the malls,buys thing on speacial just coz they are on speacial,things we may never use or want but if it makes her happy i am fine with that.After reading many posts on this forum about filipina wives/gf.i think that many are alike so all i can say is that you may take the filipina out of the country but you cant take the country out of the filipina.

you may take the filipina out of the country but you cant take the country out of the filipina.

well said, Lyno 47! Amen to that!

Most Filipinas simply want to partner with a husband in a permanent monogamous relationship for life

:agree:

A girl once showed me a photo of her and her sister so I said "Can I have both please" ....................did I have to duck quickly! :bash:

So much for the so called love of family, I was offering her sister the same deal as herself............ you would have thought that would have been considered "looking after the family" wouldn't you? Just can't win sometimes. :mocking:

Your mistake was in not realizing this is a Catholic country. A local boy could have had both and then asked for forgiveness in Church on Sunday. Much easier than asking permission.
