Great post Mguy! I'll chip in with some of my own observations of Filipinas in Singapore.
Singapore
I'm in Singapore now. Filipinas here are of various social classes, but the vast majority are temporary domestic workers. Many agencies require them to take a day off, so usually they take Sundays off to hang out at the Orchard shopping district.
Last Sunday, I went over to the Orchard Road area and saw crowds and crowds of Filipinas, many of whom are with good-looking Bangladeshi guys, as well as with some Filipino guys. Quite an incredible sight.
I went into a club in Orchard Towers around 5 pm, and mainly saw 2 types of guysː
(1) Stereotypical "old balding white guy with beer belly" that you see in Angeles City and Pattaya
(2) Young Bangladeshi and Indian guys, many of whom are construction workers
The ladies were about 1/2 Filipina, 1/4 Indonesian, and 1/4 others.
#1 (old white guys) might somehow think they're God, but I get the feeling that they're being used for cash and try to take whatever they can get. They're not energetic and charming like the young Bangla guys.
But it's quite obvious that the Filipinas naturally gravitate towards #2. The Bangladeshi (and a few Indian) guys are mostly young guys in their 20's and early 30's, and know how to game the ladies. I've seen them dance really vigorously with the ladies, and they really know how to make the ladies laugh with their charm and sense of humor. The old white guys pretty much just sit around lazily and buy them drinks, and don't make the ladies laugh.
I easily joined in with the Bangladeshi guys, and they gave me smiles of approval as I danced along with them to impress the Pinays. The white guys were simply not in my league.
Result? You see Bangla male - Pinay female couples everywhere who look like they're mutually infatuated with each other. The old white guy - Pinay pairings look dull, emotionless, and more like the "take-out transactions" you see in Angeles City.
And I didn't mention the Thai, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan, Indian, and mainland Chinese ladies in Singapore yet!
Pictures and trip report coming up after I find some spare time next month.
