Never been to the Philippines but if all these western. Guys go there to be playboys wouldn't that just sour all the girls?
Or are the amount of foreign men there just minority?
Well, foreign men have a reputation for womanising Filipinas, especially the young, poor and gullible ones.
There's definitely a stigma around foreigners, unless the foreigner can immediately signal himself as an outlier, e.g. he's young and handsome, unmarried, posted in the Philippines as an expat, making very good money (a few thousands a month, by local standards), etc.
And even then, Filipinas who have options would rarely consider a foreigner as a first choice for a relationship/marriage. Many of them don't even want to have anything to do with foreigners. I see this a lot with the Fil-Chinese community in Davao and Manila.
The rest of the Filipinas might be as sour as you want them to be but, if the prospect is that of having a rich white man helping them and their kids/families for life, they're happy to take risks.
That's why playboys for the sake of being playboys never go that far in the Philippines. Whether you're a local or a foreigner, you need to at least allude at the possibility of a relationship to get the girl to easily put out.
There was a pretty girl in Davao I was trying to date. I met her through common friends. She was smart and pretty and she knew she had options. She was still a virgin. After a few months I heard from our common friends that she was attracted to this "dark and handsome" Pinoy boy, who was a no-gooder. She lost her virginity to him and was immediately dumped by him.
Then, out of the blue; she messaged me on FB saying she wanted to meet me in my house and was very sorry for rejecting me. She sounded like she wanted to throw herself at me. So I asked her if she ever actually liked me.
Her answer was "no, but I can learn". I told her to get lost. I could have revenge f***ed her but couldn't be bothered, as I had a lot of other girls around.
Pretty virgin is virgin no more, so she lost 50% of her value in the face of Filipinos. So she thinks her next bet is a foreigner and his wallet.
So yes, average Filipinas are still a lot easier than girls in the US. The moment the average girl gets out of abject poverty, or has the means to go abroad or gain her own independence, she will be just as picky and flaky as a US girl.
