Mail Order Bride?

There is still a stigma associated with using websites to find a foreign spouse.  I guess this is based on the “mail order bride” idea.

I personally believe “mail order bride” is a misnomer.   I don’t think anyone ever “ordered” a bride in the same way he would order a product.  This defies all common sense.

Decades ago, companies such as Cherry Blossoms sent out magazines with pictures of foreign women.  Even then, the idea was to provide an opportunity for correspondence–not “buying” or “ordering” a bride.

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

Technology has radically changed things, and websites have taken the place of magazines.  The stigma still remains, which is unfortunate.  Dating websites are just another way for men and women to find each other.  Some websites simply specialize in connecting Western men to foreign women.  In my opinion, this has nothing to do with “ordering” a bride.

RECOMMENDED: REMITLY

Reasons to Marry a Filipina

What are some good reasons to marry a woman from the Philippines?  I can think of a quite a few:

You are past your 30’s but you want children.  Let’s face it–men don’t really have a biological clock.  If you are 40 or older, marrying someone your own age may mean a childless marriage.    As I’ve mentioned before, Filipinas are open to marrying older men (see also: Does Age Matter to Filipinas).

You want someone with conservative values.   Maybe the women you are meeting remind you of the characters in Sex in the City–not the type you’d want to bring home to mom.  You’ll find more conservative women in the Philippines.

You are religious or a person of faith.  Women from the Philippines tend to be devoted to God.

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

You want an educated woman.  As I’ve mentioned before, there are plenty of educated, professional women who join penpal websites.

You take marriage seriously, and want a woman who will do the same.  Filipinas are very family oriented.

You think brown-skinned petite women are beautiful.  This Philippines has the most beautiful  women in the world.

 

Finding Your Bride in the Philippines: Be Persistent!

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find the right woman within the first few weeks.  Remember–you are looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with.  You do not want to rush this process.

This is also why I’ve encouraged you to go ahead an buy a year-long membership. Take your time, correspond with several women, and I’ll be you can find the right one.  Trust me–there are plenty of lovely single women here.
