Why a Girl from the Philippines

[edwardteresa4ever 18]

Sometimes I think their is some misperception as to how girls from the philippines are, I can only relate my own story. First I have always thought that girls from this part of the world are beautiful both inside and out. I was fortunate to have been to the Philippines when I was serving in the USMC and have been to diffrent parts of Asia for business since then.

To me a girl is a girl is a girl meaning yes there will be cultural influence and yes maybe certain attributes that are local to that community or area but beyond that is a woman, a woman who just happens to live in another country who sometimes eats diffrent foods, speaks other languages and lives in a diffrent climate. What woman anywhere in the world does not want to be loved and cared for, and to feel secure, and I answer most all women do. once in love geography goes right out the window.

Of course there is an attraction to a better life, but thats just an attraction, the real thing is the same old things that have drawn couples together and kept them together for centuries, Love, Committment, chemistry, similair beleifs and attitudes, being able to make one another laugh and just that over all feeling of being meant to be. I think there are a lot of misperceptions both on behalf of westerners as well as east, I think though if people search their heart they will find that it all comes down to love, no matter where you may be from.

For me, I know I met a girl who just happens to live in another country and for me she is the girl I love, not a girl from the philippines, but just a beautiful woman inside and out. I think most of the people here on VJ know this and are lucky, so that being said cheers to us all, God Bless us and our realionships today,tommorow and the next.

Like any other nation: it's a combination of a good and the bad ones. You just have to be keen and exposed to the culture to minimize the mistake. Sometimes if you meet just a real bad one, you tend to stereotype: visa hungry, #######, liar little brown monkeys.

My fiance was coughing when we arrived in Subic bay here around here on June. Then he met this guy at the bar, and he was told that he was sick because I gave him a chlamydia.

OMG.. that's kinda funny in it's ignorance.. what did your fiance do/say?

He said "That's not true..I am just the second guy, the first one was 8yrs ago"

The other guy said "It's a bullsh*t story." and I am just pretending to be decent.

Oh wow. See Tony probably would have decked the guy. I would have said that Chlamydia doesn't display coughing as a symptom so he's a friggen moron and laughed at him (which would have REALLY pissed him off I'm sure)

The guys GF actually works in a bar, and his exes are bar girls too that's why he has that kind of thinking.

It's actually my fiance's asthma that got triggered by the weather then. So that's our joke now. He calls me Momma Chlamydia. "Hows my momma chlamydia doing?"

Ahhh poor guy... gotta feel bad for someone like that

I love my submissive, hard working, quiet, and thrifty island girl! She's smart too. And, she has friends...if anybody knows some generous lonely old single guys.

Bar girls make the best wives, so I hear.

as someone else here said you can have good or bad people in any country. My short answer to your question is why not a filipina? LOL. your right tho it is not so important where she is from and more important who she is. I agree that many get in trouble thinking just because she is from different life it means no problems. She has to be the right one no matter where she is from. To me the more traditional filipina is not only beautiful but her culture has taught her to put family first. I am not saying you cant find a good girl anywhere else. there are bad filipinas too. But when your talking about the person you want to spend your life with is traveling around the world any crazier than saying the girl around the corner was the right one? makes more sense to me that someone so special might be far away. If you did find the right one just a kilometer away then your lucky. For some of us it was never going to be the girl down the street, the girl you see at the store every week or at work everyday. Good that you realize what you have really found.... goodluck!

You Guys are all the best maybe we organize a annual VJ Party kinda like a sturgis for VJ people hehehe. For those not familair with the sturgis event people from all over the USA meet and have a big party for a week.

Lmao. I don't know how this thread went from dating Filipinas to dating Filipina bar girls but my opinion is...

despite of their job description, I think bar girls also dream of having a normal happy relationship with someone who will appreciate them despite of the nature of their job, whatever it is. That's why they tend to give more attention to their husbands, because they want to get out of their present emotional situation.

your question concerns guys who have been married/has had relationships both to filipina and another nationality...i agree every personality imaginable is found in every nationality and i believe "why a filipina is a combination of factors":

1. among other non-english speaking nationalities (other asians included) filipinas converse effectively in english the most

2. being from a third world country, filipinas are comfortable with just the necessities in life

3. our culture has taught us to be polite as much as possible

4. filipinas come from a family-oriented culture so we do everything in our power to keep the family together (we don't consider consider separation right away if our marriage is in trouble (husbands with multiple mistresses are sometimes tolerated)

5. we don't have divorce in the philippines (it's a predominantly catholic country)so we're not really used to it

6. luck still plays a part because there are crazy filipinas too just like in any other country =)

other guys and gals have a take on this?
