Newbie needs some help in the right direction...

Just so people here know where such attitudes or ideas come from...

Here's an example of what a lot of American men read or hear about from international dating agencies: (Disclaimer: in case anyone reads this and doesn't know me - the below statement does NOT reflect my views at all!)

Why choose a Filipina?

Women from the Philippines are noted for their beauty, grace, charm and loyalty. With their sweet nature and shy smiles, Filipina's posses an inner beauty that most men find irresistible.

What's more, English is one of the official languages of the Philippines, so communication is straight forward, and as the majority of Filipinas are Christian, cultural compatibility is easier than some other Asian countries.

Why a Filipina wife? WHY? because they...

are Beautiful

have Old Fashion Values

are Loving and Caring

put Husband & Family First

are Life Time Partners

and are much, much more

Filipino ladies?

Filipinas are known not only known for their physical attractiveness and gracefulness but also for their inner beauty and charm. They possess character traits that men from all over the world find irresistible.

Filipinos make excellent marriage partners. Devotion to one's husband is part of Filipino culture so they are affectionate and supportive at all times. They love children and give much of their time and effort to raising a happy family. They are also very good cooks as anyone who has tasted chicken adobo, mongo, pancit, lumpia, cassava cake and leche flan will tell you.

These are just some of the features that make Filipinas so appealing. Men in every part of the world are searching for partners who will become caring and loving wives. They want someone who will bring stability to marriage and family life. Some men find the woman of their dreams close to home; others prefer to look further a field. If you would like to try your luck on the other side of the world then why not browse the web and see if you can find a Filipino who might turn out to be the woman of your dreams. Enjoy your search and good luck. Remember, we are here to help you.

These ladies are wonderful. They have expressed interest in maybe starting a relationship with a disabled man. This does not mean that they are passive or have low self-esteem. Here are ladies who will see past your disability and love you for who you are

Do not disrespect these lovely ladies. Do not expect to marry a personal care giver. Sure they will learn your life style and be there to help you. But do not have them help you 100% of the time. These ladies are very special and very hardworking, loving and very dedicated to you. My only hope is that you treat them, as you want them to treat you.

When I think about the guys who condemn American women, I often wonder what they'd want for their American daughter(s). Have the mind of a maid or an accountant, doctor, engineer?

Mistake number one is using tunnel vision when looking at the issue.

Do you Really think western-feminist type women are the ONLY Accountants Doctors or Engineers in the world?

Your sense of superiority is rich.

haha, nothing on any of the posts within suggests anyone is going to the Philippines for accountants, doctors or engineers so your comment is completely out of context.

I nabbed a dentist.

you just wanted to be drilled

And what about those cavity searches?

Why do you want to limit the conversation to the Philippines?

You suggested, only a Westernized-feminist woman would be educated. Evidently you think those poor Rubes in non-western countries have no interest in education.

Where did you get the idea that women who don't embrace Feminism are working as maids and those that do... aren't?

As for my Daughter, She would tell you she is "not" a feminist, and she is soon to graduate with Nursing degree. (Top of her class)

But even if she worked as a lowly paid maid, would that mean she is a lesser person?
