why do Pinays

[Gumbolette 58]

To me a Man is the King of the Household, he makes the decision for the family and the woman should support his decisions.......

The man is the King of the Household indeed, but the woman is the Ace

Marriage is not about leadership but PARTNERSHIP.

Yes, the man is the head of the household...the woman is the neck that makes the head turn

I am wondering what made you asked yourself why did you marry your partner then...

Since you obviously didn't read her other posts, I'll answer for you...SHE IS AMERICAN AND HER HUSBAND IS PHILIPINE. So, the question does not apply to her situation.

haha.. read! didn't you notice I used "partner". yeah, I can read.

Is it close to the East Texas Piney Forest?

My mistake. Filipino.

Either way, I wasn't saying a place, I was saying a nationality.

Right, and she was asking about Pinays specifically with American men, so it did not apply to her situation.

No it doesn't apply to her situation directly, but those of us her question does apply to have every right to ask her why she married a pinoy.

Pinays dont only marry white men...most of them marry Filipinos. Some marry blacks, latinos, chinese... any ethnicity. Pinays marry men, period.

Na-hijack na itong thread. Sorry po sa OP.

And to answer the OP's question...Why did I marry MY white guy?

1st, I want to improve my clan's genes and I know for a fact that a combination of white and brown produces beautiful babies.

2nd, I didn't only find a white guy in my man BUT a soulmate, bestfriend and all.

3rd, we're on the same intellectual level, thus communication is never a problem between us.

4th, we're partners in crime. We can do silly, crazy things but it's always a mutual decision. There's no leader between the 2 of us, just partners. We find joy caring, loving and serving each other. And when I say each other, I mean it. It's not only one way...

Marrying a white guy isn't going to automatically grant you beautiful children. Ugly Brown + Ugly White does not equal beautiful babies. Skin color should not even matter. If you want beautiful children you or your husband/wife will have to be beautiful as well regardless of skin color. I find you first answer very demeaning to filipinos.

Hmm not where I live. I see mostly Filpino couples here. I guess things are different here where I live.

[adiiann 163]

Why I marry my husband (an American guy) ..... because he is not a male chauvinist pig like most of Filipino guys. He is not insecure like most of Filipino guys in general.

To the OP, you are so lucky to find a Filipino guy with a minimal machismo.

[Calypso 464]

My husband is an American citizen but I didn't marry him for that. He isn't white either. His family moved to New York from Bihar, India when he was three years old so he grew up here and doesn't practice any Indian tradition at all. He is exceptionally intelligent and loving. We just fit perfectly and I know I won't find anyone else like him in this world. It's not the race or the citizenship really.

God bless us all.

It's not just White guys...but any USC who is male.

I know this subject has been talked about in many threads over the years and is sometimes brought up to be controversial or confrontational, but given that the OP is a USC and female who is married to a Pinoy, I'm thinking she is honestly wanting to know.

She probably could have framed the question better by asking why there are international dating sites that cater to USC males, but none that cater to USC females? IMO, all these factors play a role:

• Women in general look for some kind of financial stability/security in a mate. That's generally true even for American women. It is uncommon to find an American couple where the wife is more financially secure (better paying job or higher education) than the husband. At least from a practical point of view, if you are woman who would like to have children, you've got to be thinking about how you and the children can survive if you are busy having children and taking care of them.
• Because of that, many middle and lower income American men have trouble attracting potential mates, especially if they are not young anymore and the prospects of moving up the economic ladder are quickly fading as they advance in age. For a woman coming from a Third World country, if a man has a stable job, a modest house and a car parked in his garage, he's rich...at least in their eyes.
• Economic mobility - a woman from a Third World country will have a much better chance to move up the economic ladder here in America than back in her home country. There are many many Filipinos (men and women) around the world, working in different countries for that reason. It also provides them with an opportunity to help lift their families out of poverty back home. My brother-in-law, who is Filipino just moved his wife and children to be with him in Canada after working there for a couple of years away from them. Before that, he worked in Saudi Arabia, away from his family, in order to support them.

So even though on the surface, it may seem shallow that there is a high percentage of older American men marrying younger Filipina's, it's more than just what's on the surface. Are the reasons any less valid than an American woman marrying an American man for his status and wealth? How many celebrities and wealthy American men do you see marrying poor American women who are not celebrities themselves? I don't think you can generalize as to the validity of Fil/Am marriages anymore than you could of other marrying trends.

One more point - if it were just aesthetic (older white guy attracted to younger filipina), we'd see a high number of American men marrying FilAm women (Pinays born/raised in America), but there aren't nearly as many. That to me points back to the financial/economic factors. What's interesting is that many Fil/Am women often end up in relationships with Fil/Am men. From my observations with my wife's extended family here in the States, Fil/Am families tend to want keep their cultural identity and that plays a part in their selection of a mate.
