A Filipina in her early twenties, clad in a tight-fitting pair of jeans, a body-hugging shirt walks on a busy street in the Philippines. She attracts attention not only because of her looks but because she is holding hands with a foreigner who is old enough to be her grandfather.

Two blocks away, a woman in her late forties is hanging on to the arm of a 65-year old foreigner. Both women will be marrying their boyfriends soon and each had her own reasons. Every year more Filipina ladies are leaving the country each year to marry a foreigner. Here are some of the common reasons for these marriages:

The search for greener pastures.

It is undeniable that a big percentage of the Filipina girls who marry foreigners look at their husbands as a “visa” for them to go find better opportunities abroad. Filipina ladies have a mission to support their family as soon as they are able to, like help send younger siblings to school or take over the responsibility as the head of the family.

Travel and adventure

A foreigner husband is a ticket to exciting worlds beyond the desolate place she may have grown up in. She looks at him as the realization of her childhood dreams of traveling to far places.

Status elevation

As ironic as it seems, majority of the Filipino women prefers American love stories over Philippine films and they get all dreamy eyed and instantly fall in love when they see a caucasian man.

Age factor

While a woman in her late thirties is considered in the prime of life in other countries, it is not the case for a Filipina because when she is past 30 and is still unmarried, eyebrows will start to rise and her chances of getting married starts to get slim and meeting a foreigner for a prospective husband online is one of her few choices. Usually, a Filipina marries in her late teens or early 20s and should already have a child in college by the time she is 40 years old.

Failed marriages

Failure in her marriage could also push Filipina ladies to look to foreigners for a second chance. Some of these Filipina ladies are unwed mothers, while others are victims of abusive husbands, forced to do menial jobs for a meager pay just to support her children.

Average looks

An average looking Filipina (meaning not the beauty queen material) may feel she does not have to go to lengths and pay huge amounts to augment her physical features to attract a foreign husband-to-be.

True Love

You may find it hard to believe this but despite the perception that the Filipina is taking a risk marrying a person with a different set of values with a different cultural background, love could be the reason why she will marry a foreigner.

Peter Lisdorf asked:


r friend just headed home from a trip to Manila, Philippines and he said he met his Filipina life partner there. Maybe you have read some articles stating how fantastic a Philippine lover is and how she will make sure to satisfy you in every manner possible. Or maybe your co-worker in the business office got married to a Philippine lady and he always has tasty lunches. May be you specifically like the taste of that Chicken “Apretada” he once let you get a taste. In any case, you are really certain that the best wife in this world for you is a Philippine woman.

But problem is, you have absolutely no idea how to dating a quality Filipina woman. It’s in reality quite easy to meet a nice Filipina lady. Getting her to go out with you and getting her to like you is an entirely different issue, so long as you avoid the following three mistakes.

Mistake Number 1: Lurching the night bars for Filipina women

Nightspots may be the central point of the single scene in the US but if you are looking for a possible wife or someone who you want to have a long lasting relationship with, then it’s wise to skip the Philippine night bars. Ladies who visit these bars are usually young people that just desire to have a whale of a time and if they will give you their number, they are most likely looking for casual encounters. That is not to say that any Filipina ladies who frequent bars are bad news, however, it’s more often than not. Philippine girls know that night clubs are just spots to amuse in, they are truly not places where you are able to find true love.

Mistake Number 2: Ignoring special Filipina dating sites

This may be your gravest mistake ever. The most successful way to get in contact with quality Filipina women is by trying out Internet dating sites. In this manner you are able to communicate with them, you are able to chat them up and ask them about themselves without having to fly off to another continent. Besides, dating online sites are not sites for “Mail Order Brides”. Reliable online dating sites will give you the chance to get in contact and mingle with thousands of real Filipina ladies looking for the same thing as you are. You will be surprised how many beautiful Filipina ladies searching for western men you are able to contact after signing up.

Mistake Number 3: Not to remember the time difference.

Remember, you live in another part of the world. The difference between Philippines and Eastern Standard Time is eight hours. In any case, if you are arranging an “online meeting” with a possible Filipina girl who fits the profile you are seeking, it is a good idea to set a time that is good for her. This will let her know that you like her and you appreciate her hours of sleeping over yours.

These are just several advice to help you get in contact with a nice Philippine girl. To improve your dating experience, try to learn their language and learning up on the Filipino culture so you are able to get in contact with your Philippine dream partner easier.

The Philippine woman is often times conservative about how she conducts herself, particularly in public. A Philippine lady is usually prim and proper in her actions. This is because the Philippines is a country with many old fashioned ways.

Philippine ladies take their relationships seriously. Being in a relationship is a serious matter with Filipino girls . They see a relationship as a step towards marriage, so that is why she must consider a man very well before choosing him as a boyfriend. That is why many Philippine ladies are expected to be playing hard to get. It is also one way by which the Filipina woman can measure the sincerity of her man.

A Filipina girl will only take a man seriously if he is really willing to visit her family and introduce himself formally to her parents. It is considered disrespectful if a man courts a Filipina woman without informing her parents! In the Philippines, you should know that it is always expected that the man must show his face to the Filipina girl’s family or else her whole family will not approve of you!

Philippine ladies have strong religious beliefs. Many Philippine women are Catholic or Christian in faith, and they usually regularly go to church every Sunday with family members or friends. It will mean a lot to her if you can go to church with her too. However, she is also open minded and is willing to accept your religion and your faith if someday she will become your wife. Filipina Ladies are brought up to respect her husband and always support him and be there for him.
