We are all different i what we are looking for in our partners.

For me i want someone who will love me no matter what, will work together for our future and if she is Beautiful well i have done good.

Now all these things i have but what i did not realize is her beauty that is inside that i did not see at first, now i would give my life for my wife but this is what the Filipino men dont see in us white men, we are just there because we cannot find young so called white women.

You are wasting your time if you think 'young white women' have any interest in us old farts.  They want someone they can live with for awhile, churn out a couple of kids and then divorce and robe the ex.

Now there are many Filipino women and indeed most Asian women who will do the same thing, but you are more likely to find a good one if you are sensible in your decision process, who will love and respect you, care for you and be happy with what you leave behind.  The history of large age gaps between westerners and Asians is not good.

I doubt that Filipino males care all that much.  They are all out doing their best anyway.

Have to come in here Queenie, all opinions greatly appreciated from members but your words hit home as they should and are striking in many ways. Are all Aussies the same? Germans? Iranians? Absolutely not and while we can try to put Filipinos in a box why not put Aussies in the same box? The mind boggles. Not really as men are men and ladies are special and should be treated so.

My Filipino partner chased me for a year before I let go of inhibitions and my resistance to a 31 year age difference and 5/6 years on we are happy, prospering and have a great future together. Some guys and girls really do prefer mature counterparts no different to the older seeking younger and younger seeking older. Filipino men and women are tied to religious beliefs and screws their lives big time, (sorry only my opinion) slowly the wheels turn but we need to accept the cultural arrangements as I/we are guests. I raise my eyebrows often.

Filipino men From my perspective are no different to any other culture within that/their culture, the man (Filipino) in question is doing his best given social obligations and the norms and his particular circumstances and what is considered acceptable in that situation. Right or wrong who am I to judge? The mistresses and one night stands that bring an extra mouth to feed?  Filipino men do what they do and apparently that is acceptable.

Thanks for the spark Queenie, am sure I will get a slapping for my thoughts.

Cheers, Steve.

 

Thanks Steve,

The mores of the Philippines might be often be not what we westerners are used to in our past experience.  This makes for many different and sometimes unexpected pairings. If partners can hopefully meet both their needs and respect each other, then it's a happy circumstance. 

 

On a more serious note though, lets all refer back to the subject of Bows's original post.  Bows-- after having read these responses are you or others really surprised with the result?  Would it seem unnatural  to you and others that the responses "might intrude on the vlogger's sense of Filipino pride"?      In every culture I believe men would be happy to be able to be in the same playing field with all other men in seeking a mate. Of course that's not the case. All the more obvious when the playing field is skewed. The frustration that I imagine this Filipino to have, is real I think. On the other hand, I think that some foreigner men (present company represented excluded) tend to want to look down on Filipino men at times, and attribute negative traits or standards to all of them as if they were all the same, while sometimes glorifying Filipinas' as having more positive attributes as a whole.     Maybe it's a sense of male insecurity for some foreigners, or lack of communication or understanding with Filipinos' in general, that makes for general assumptions at times.  Maybe I'm biased having found love with a Filipino, but people as Steve seems to say, are basically the same everywhere and basically want the same things I think.

 I'm glad Steve, that you found a man and relationship that makes you both happy.  If any people are fortunate to find a good match and life, they should  consider themselves lucky.

I was not only surprised with the results, but how the Filipino Vlogger concluded the video by stating how disgusted he feels whenever he see's old foreigners with young filipina's (it intrudes on his sense of Filipino pride?).  It made me wonder how many Filipino men feel the same way.       

 

I recently took part in a discussion about contentment, being happy with what you have or what you have achieved.

However, not everyone one has the same opportunities and before the more successful members start shouting life is what you make it.

Put yourself in the other fellows shoes.....America might of been the land of opportunities, these days it has never been more noticeable

in the World, than the rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer. So that brings me back to the OP by bows00.

Young Filipina's are going to be attracted to older men who can offer them comfort and security, that includes plenty of older Filipino men too!

If I was a hard working Filipino young man, but poorly paid, with no foreseeable future, seeing this happening, I might just have contempt for those guy's.

Most successful Filipino men tend to marry Filipino women and vice visa for successful Filipino women!

Everyone else survives or succeeds by whatever means are available.

My philosophy, treat others as you would like to be treated yourself, bless others as you have been blessed and never, never, give cause for

others to envy you. ( in other words don't throw your wealth in front of their face ).

One thing I don't see on the faces of young people in the UK very often, is the smiles I see on the faces of the young kids in Philippines.

Give them hope for the future, a friendly word, encouragement, it all  goes along way towards determining their future point of view and how they perceive us foreigners.

I have been poor and I am never going to be rich, but I'm sure glad I made this far.

I have always had full employment, food on the table, roof over my head, a pension in my older age and been blessed with the love of my family,

all of which I never take for granted, how many Filipino's can say that?

Opinion of Filipino Men???........no different than anywhere else.

As my signature says Always consider other peoples point of view

I know no filipino men here (PH) I would consider a friend. I worked with a filipino in Au, I considered  a friend, but I would not say we were close friends. This is exactly how I feel also about all the non filipino men I know. I have acquaintances but I do not consider then close friends. I have my partner we are friends/lovers/partner I need no other relationships in my life. I also have family I am close too. So my opionion of filipino men is I treat them respectful and expect the same in return.

To expand on the responses of the young Filipina's in the video, yes, all of the reasons the foreigner was selected over the handsome filipino were for financial status, but in addition, there were Filipina's that desired the white skin and blue eyes as well.  Nothing new here.  

But let's not kid ourselves - if a young rich man was available - Filipino or Foreign, that would be a girls first choice.
