Sorry but Filipinos that live by telling the truth regularly is a rarity in their country. My favorite saying in the Philippines is, "That's a lie"! My wife just laughs whenever I say it. Basically, the more arrogant and attention seeking a Filipina is the more likely she is to lie to you. After a ...

I think it completely depends how they live. I dated a 34 year old Filipina who had no kids, did yoga regularly and hard, and although relatively poor was a stable happy person. 5'-2" and 91 lbs. Very long straight black hair. She could easily have passed for someone much much younger in the USA. I ...

Something like that. Over the past five years, I've dated 4 girls between 19 and 24, one who is 34, and one 36. Looks like there may a ring in the 34 year-old's future. I'm in my mid-50s.

Well, that seems a little simplistic. First of all, it's stratospherically difficult for a middle aged American man to find a beautiful young coed to seriously date (excluding some kind of wierd SD thing). Second of all, the article is right: a man wants to me needed, wanted, and missed badly. Ameri...

Nah. With all due respect I could never take a relationship seriously with any girl if I was expected to pay her an allowance. It's perfectly nice to give presents and stuff once in a while, but the idea that I would be paying for her company is a bridge too far. I do get that that's what most relat...

What a great thread! One of the best for sure. In some ways painfully true. Perhaps a little exagerrated, but just a little. Dating Filipinas is a little like mining for diamonds. It's 99.99% junk. But there are some amazing ones out there. You have to look _hard_ and be attentive to nuance. I have ...

A "Filipina bride tour" is the most useless "product" that can ever be sold. Unless one has some sky-high expectations like a young, model-looking girl from an elite family, any man armed with decent intentions (i.e. who is not a hideous criminal or a paedo) of any age should be able to find a "Fil...

We know this 20 year-old Filipina who posted her profile online. She a go-slow girl looking for a serious relationship leading to marriage. She is attractive, well educated and very intelligent. She told us she is getting 2 or 3 hundred emails a day and skims through to pick about 12 she will answe...

I have to agree with a lot of the points in the OP. I found Filipinos to be nice, but at the same time pretty rude when I visited. They all spoke passable English but they all refused to speak it when I was around. I found that flat rude. Speak the common language in mixed company, that's what I al...
