That's a nice story, thanks for sharing. You clearly found yourself a gem. Also, consider that, from a risk perspective, she might have considered that she is better off losing that $1K and being the Spouse of with a US citizen, rather than landing in the US alone, having to struggle to settle, get...

Definitely an interesting journey (especially since I probably would have ended up in China if COVID never happened). LOL you dodged a gigantic bullet there! A city called Butuan. It's weird - clearly a small city, but a province feel. I was surprised to find that it's the fifth largest city in Min...

Yeah, my wife definitely looks more like the former than the latter. No question about that. Personally, I don't find the lighter skinned girl attractive at all. I mean I'd bang her, but I wouldn't notice her on the street in the Philippines. The darker skinned girl is stunningly beautiful to me. I...

Sorry for the delay. I had a bunch of things come up randomly and forgot about this thread. No problem. I have gotten excited about your posts because, given the circumstances, they're one big "aha!" for all those guys who daydream about changing their lives by making themselves financially indepen...

My wife is 5'0 even and quite dark. I have taken the liberty of taking this statement from you from another thread. I am happy that you like "morena" (brown) features in your Filipina girls. So do I and most HAers who visited the Philippines. Over time, you will notice that a dark skin, especially ...

Sorry for the delay. I had a bunch of things come up randomly and forgot about this thread. Before I respond to this, I want to make it clear that I'm a youngish guy (30s) in the Philippines. My "circle" in the Philippines consists of my wife's friends, many of whom are highly educated professionals...

I used to live in rural area, indeed. But I have since gone through a lot of changes. My marriage with my first wife collapsed, we had three kids. I've had a daughter from another relationship. And then I got engaged to a very pretty Spanish mestiza girl last year, we have a son together. But our r...

What is a good-looking Filipina to you? Well, basically just not fat and having the kind of facial structure that I like. I do prefer darker skinned girls, but it's not a deal breaker. I'm pretty short (5'6) so I didn't want to have a girl that was super super short (below 5'0). My wife is 5'0 even...

What were those criteria, if I may be so bold to ask?

Well, because of the limitations of dating profiles, my criteria was only:

- good-looking
- no kids
- ages 23-27
- educated
- has a professional job
- has a profile with substance (ie: none of this "I'm looking for a nice man" nonsense)

You can meet a high quality girl on any of these sites, most likely.

I met my wife on Filipino Cupid (though it's worth noting that she was the only girl I messaged on that site because she was the only one I could find who fit my criteria).

This is one thing you could probably get anywhere in the Philippines, honestly.

Many girls will want you as a boyfriend, of course, but there are definitely some who will just sleep with you even in more conservative areas in Mindanao.

I don't think it's very easy to get girls anywhere in western Europe.

I know a younger Polish guy in the Philippines who got nothing in his home country despite being normal, decent looking, and tall.

YMMV

I consider the Mormon community to be one of the easiest environments for a man to obtain a traditional monogamous relationship with a woman, if that's what he's looking for. 1. Mormon girls are brainwashed from early age that their purpose in life is to marry a Priesthood holder and start having k...

Maverick-- I like that you rendered us this report. However, just one thing I have to say: how good is your Italian? Please do not be one of these entitled Anglophone expatriates that want their foreign woman to be fluent in English. Don't be lazy nor a dumb ass (I'm speaking in hypotheticals); don...
