You sound like feminized American woman
Thats not typical Filipina Winston described
Ginger's need to give her retarded opinion on every topic is very typical of Luzon women, their always ready for a fight and they can't cook. That's why I only recommend Filipina's from the Visayas or Mindanao.
Ha, ha, ha in a "general" sense this is so true. I don't know why everyone's got to bash Taco's statements cause actually he is more aware of Filipinos as a foreigner then most on this forum are led to believe. I've been living in PI now for 8+ years, traveling to all the major cities and interacting with the various cultural PI groups from all the regions. I would have to say I also agree with his opinion about hooking up with Visayas or Mindanao women. Language has a lot to do with it. You'll notice that Tagalog is forced upon other parts of the Philippines and the locals from Visayas and Mindanao do not generally speak it unless they have to. Thus, their brain will be wired different then Luzon Tagalog speakers. This will account for variances in their overall demeanor. I personally have had the best luck with Visayas region girls and to a lesser extent ones originating from Mindanao. I've had the most conflicts with Luzon originating women. Essentially, the closer to a true Tagalog native the more of a pain in the a** they are cause they think they are superior to other Filipino nationals. Tribal cultural warfare is alive and well in the Philippines for sure. Luzon speakers also have worse English then their Visayas and Mindanao counterparts.
I don't know where Ginger is originally from but she sounds just like many of the "higher educated" Filipino women I work with who get bent out of shape when you start challenging them directly about various issues concerning Philippines from a Westerner point of view and experience. They supposedly know everything and you have to cow-tow to their educated brilliance cause they are a UP, Atenao or LaSalle graduate or professor. They act all nice and friendly to you but they are really just as bad or worse than Western women is some cases. Imagine having to come home to this everyday parading how brilliant she is and how stupid and inane your judgement is regarding your everyday experiences. That's why most Western guys would rather hook up with a regular girl or one from a hard life background then deal with this kind of sarcastic passive aggressiveness BS everyday. A majority of these higher end girls think their shit don't stink and that they should be held up on a pedestal above their own people and yourself. Yeah, they may appear more feminine and act like a real women but their minds and opinions are f***ed up for the most part. Remember, generally women hold the power in relationships within the Philippines once they rope a guy; they will attempt to cuckold Westerners as well. Many won't realize it until it's too late and they are engaged or married and realize there is no divorce in Philippines or they take them to their own country and the woman is smart enough to know how much she will get in a possible divorce. The educated ones are the really sneaky "snake in the grass" ones. You can have intellectual conversations with them and hang out occasionally but I would never get seriously involved with one. If you are an independent minded guy who is more A-male type, it's generally not a good fit. She will wear you down until you give up and submit, they don't back down.
Go with the simpleton minded girls who can be educated and trained up by you, yourself, that's your best bet for a happy long-term relationship in the Philippines. The educated girls here are generally just too high-maintenance and already brainwashed with various BS and they will eventually cuckold you into submission. When I say educated I mean the top 3 tiered universities, a poor girl who earned a nursing degree is not who I'm talking about. There may be exceptions to what I've stated but for the most part THROUGH MY EXPERIENCES I've discovered this to be true with higher educated Filipinas.
This is my opinion based on experience so don't get all bent out shape and wet yourself trying to defend all your "fellow Filipina sisters" who have now been desecrated by the ignorant Western foreigner who just wants to destroy all female Filipino credibility, righteousness and dignity.
Yes I agree about the tribal warfare thing, locally it's called crab mentality in here.
So judging from my english, where do you think I am from?
Are you gonna speculate where I got my schooling from now? Okay I fess up, I'm not even middle class, maybe lower middle class and I'm not a product of IVY league-ish top 3 unis here. However, I sometimes get invited to teach there. Not bad for someone who is a product of poor public school system. I do not think I am better than non-educated pinays, however I believe they too can strive to be better and not rely on foreign santa dude to feed her.
As for divorce, I do not believe in divorce, in my book, a person marries for life, and not just in paper or some sort of business transaction. True marriage is more of spiritual level and not a piece of paper. In some cases though, example if the guy turned out to be a crazy drunk or the girl turned out to a crazy b*tch then divorce might be a good option to have peace of mind.
I do not agree that a girl should be entitled to half a guy's stuff in case of divorce. This can change depending on circumstances. That is why things must be clear and there should be a prenup, just in case of divorce (if things go great, the prenup is just an assurance thing anyway).
And please do not stereotype me into some mold. Read ALL my posts then maybe you can do that.
Just don't generalize (especially when it concerns me), more so if you do not have enough data, that said, I 'generally' agree with what you wrote.
