Wow, the Philippines!

Brad and Vika, I like you. Among the foreigners who have shared their opinions, anger, etc. in this post, I think you're one of the open-minded ones and not judgmental about us filipinas.

Speaking as an old fat guy - thank you very much

The thread might liven things up in the Canada forum.

Are you saying the Canadians are boring??

LOL.

I don't think Brad is fat or old.

In fact, I have a secret crush on him.

Young girl with old fat guy....You guys act like this is something that should not happen?! Do we really need to spell it out to you why this happens?? C'mon, and buy a clue! :dance:

If the mature man has money, stability and resources to offer a delightful young lady, and she wants a good life and loving from him, then of course the two should get together and meet each otherz needs. What you are saying is that he should only be with this old nag bag hag?! Letz keep it real, folks! :dance:

Do you think the girls are ready for the MENA forum?

they'd be shredded.

It's okay. I promise not to tell my husband. I made the mistake of telling him that Denzel Washington was my secret boyfriend..... and now I'm not allowed to watch any of his movies.

(j/k, btw. lol)

I went to the MENA forums once just to check it out & haven't been back since... it was pure chaos!

A lot of cross-cultural bashing going on in this thread... how about we agree that its different strokes for different folks? If you have a filipino spouse & you are very happy that's great. If your spouse is from another country & you are happy that's great too. There's no need to compare the two like a couple of 3rd graders comparing toys during recess.

I don't think any of us are doing that. The post above is a joke. There are plenty of places, including the PI, where women tend to look past the superficial. Look at the original post about fat ugly guys.

I disagree; some people were serious & got their panties in a bunch. However the stereotype of Filipinos marrying fat and/or old men has truth to it... like all stereotypes it is a generalization & perhaps an exaggeration, but its based in fact. I'm sure it happens in marriages between other countries as well, so it certainly isn't just a Filipino thing.

I'm not FAT and old wheres the truth in that? your just a stereotypest!

The truth hurts... maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts!

How true! As Yogi Berra once said, "Our similarities are different".

I think there should be a new subforum dedicated to all topics regarding international dating sites. Then the foreign spouses can duke it out over which ones make better picks.

I think it just goes to show that all of us take pride of ourselves and where we came from. And none of us will allow just anyone to insult us.

Nowhereman, I agree with you but i think it's just so unfair that only filipinas are being criticized for that when in fact it's happening in the whole world. Why if a filipina marry an "ugly, fat, old man" (as others put it), it's bad, but if other nationalities do it, it's acceptable? Also, I think it's so shallow that people are judging others because they married someone much older or some "ugly, fat man". It's none of our business. It's their lives, their choices...If they are happy, let it be.

For the record, I'm not marrying an "ugly, fat, old man". In fact, I'm even a year older than my fiance and he's not ugly. But I just want other people to realize that their being so judgmental about us filipinas is not cool at all.

To foreigners claiming that their filipina wives are the best, I agree because I'm also a filipina and it's flattering to know that foreigners do appreciate filipina wives. To those who disagree that filipinas are the best wives, that's cool. We are entitled to our own opinions and I respect yours as well so I hope you will also respect ours. No need to insult our race.

I just have one word that I think all of should learn. That is RESPECT. Let's respect each other's opinions and choices and preferences. And also, stop being judgmental for goodness sake!

Goodluck to all of us in our visa journey!!!

i agree with you. its nice to see more westerners coming to the phil forum , welcome everyone! so ladies, lets try to speak english so its easier for our american friends to understand and follow the thread we love and need tourists !

peace everyone.
