Respect

When you chat with a Filipina online, please be respectful. It’s OK to ask if she’s had boyfriends before.

Maybe it’s even OK to ask questions about her past (if that is important to you).

But please–don’t expect a Filipina to engage you in sexually explicit chats.  If that’s what you are after, there are plenty of websites out there which will cater to your cheap thrills.   Filipinas go to penpal websites to look for husbands, not perverted hook-ups.  Remember, most Filipinas are God-fearing, conservative women.

RECOMMENDED: I recommend Christian Filipina for those who are serious about finding love in the Philippines.

Why am I saying this?  Because I’ve had more than one Filipina tell me she’s had bad experiences with disrespectful men.

If you are a gentleman, thank you–keep up the chivalrous conduct.

If you are a pervert, please don’t waste a girl’s time and stop giving all us Western men a bad name.  Get your freak on elsewhere and leave the penpal websites alone.

RECOMMENDED: REMITLY

Filipinas: The Age Discussion (Continued)

I’ve talked about the issue of age and Filipinas (women from the Philippines).  I’ve explained that Filipinas are often more open to marrying an older man.

I will give you an example that might help.

Imagine Brad Pitt walked onto an American college campus.  The girls would go crazy for him.  They wouldn’t think “old”: they would think “rich, famous, and gorgeous” (maybe not in that order).

RECOMMENDED: I recommend Christian Filipina for those who are serious about finding love in the Philippines.

I think this is how Filipinas look at American men.  They are attracted to the way Caucasians look, and they know Western men could provide them with a high standard of living.

Don’t let this go to your head–I am not saying you look like Brad Pitt to them.  I’m saying you may have qualities that appeal to them that they would prioritize over age.

Marrying a Woman from the Philippines: More Thoughts on Money and Sharing

I heard this line from a comedian:

“I’m not going to get married–I’m just going to find a woman I don’t like and buy her a house.”

He was referring to the common experience men have in a divorce settlement.

I’ve previously mentioned the filipino culture when it comes to money and sharing–you’ll have to share some of your money with her family.   But there’s something I’ve thought about:

RECOMMENDED: I recommend Christian Filipina for those who are serious about finding love in the Philippines.

Western men who marry Filipinas have a lower divorce rate than those who marry Westerners.  Marriages to women from the Philippines have about an 80% success rate, compared to the 50% divorce rate among Americans.  So, even though you’ll have to share more of your money, you’re still less likely to have someone divorce you and take half of your stuff.  That’s a better deal as far as I’m concerned.
