In the end these ratings and disagreements about who dates the truly good looking ones is infantile. Everyone has their preferences, including the women. There is an innate quality within many of us to be attracted to someone different from us - the opposites attract effect. So the Filipino is attracted to a whiter-skinned girl and the white guy (used to pasty white women) is attracted to darker skinned "exotic" women. As Pete says it's a win-win for everyone.pete98146 wrote:
You speak the truth! I'll give you a perfect example. Years ago, my and a buddy went and visited Phuket Thailand for a week. We rented a condo on Caron Beach. The girl at the front desk was a light skinned, taller, attractive Thai girl in her mid 20s. We checked in and went straight to the beach. Later that night we went to a restaurant a stones throw away from the condo and lo and behold, working there as a waitress was the girl from the front desk.
So we were talking to her while she was working. Somehow we got to talking about whether she gets approached a lot by all the single male tourists vacationing in Phuket (mainly Germans, Scandinavians, Brits). She said "ABSOLUTELY NOT...I rarely get approached. See the waitress over there? She gets asked out constantly." I looked over and of course the other waitress, while very pretty, was darker, shorter, more exotic looking.
Perhaps this is a good thing!!! The Western guys come over and grab their type while the Asian dudes focus on the lighter skinned ladies. Everybody wins, right?
Some (though not all) Filipinas are the same and this accounts for part of the reason that "some" Filipinas are attracted to foreigners. My wife definitely falls into this category. I introduced her to a middle-aged Latino friend who I would normally assume was considered good looking by women here locally. He's dark with black hair (and all of it). Later on at home my wife said she thought he was ugly. I was surprised and asked her why. "He looks like a Filipino," she replied. "If I had wanted to marry someone that dark, I would have married a Filipino."
