Why Do Many Filipina Girls Marry Foreigners?
Peter Finch asked:
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.

Philippine Love – so you Want to Marry a Filipina?
Keith Driscoll asked:
Philippine Love – So you want to marry A Filpina?
Getting wed to a Philippines lady is a great thing but not always powerful for everyone, it’s that old story, a Philippines girl can be all things to a man, but not every Philippines woman can be all things to every man, in other words it’s not a good idea to stereotype Philippine girls.
Very often Philippine women are shoved in the same pigeon hole as all other women from the South East Asian countries, such as China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, South Korea.
The ladies from these countries, tend to have largely different languages, different religions different cultures, different ways of eating food, the only thing they share is the Pacific Ocean if they can travel to their local beach.
In that sense, if I am honest, I really ought to divert British Men from marrying Philippine girls simply because they are ‘Filipina’ perpetuated by most mythical notion that Filipina’s are wonderful, ********** wives that never answer back, and are fantastic in the bedroom!
So I have set a little test for the prospective husband to see if he really knows anything about his possible future wife, country, culture and customs. There are no fixed answers to the questions, but they will assist you to see beyond the tunnel vision of love.
The Test:
1. Can you find the Philippines on a map?
2. Do you know what is the Capital City of the Philippines?
3. Do you know what are the main regions of the Philippines?
4. Do you know who is the President of the Philippines?
5. Do you know what are the main languages spoken in the Philippines, and your potential wife’s local dialogue?
6. Do you know what the main religions practiced in the Philippines?
7. Do you know why various Filipinos have Spanish names?
8. Are you prepared to have children, if so, are you prepared for innumerable children?
9. Are you prepared to provide ‘Sustento’ (alimony) for your extended Philippine family for education and other expenses, if they need your benefit?
10. Are you fairly tolerant of superstitions?
11. Do you like fish products?
12. Do you know what eating implements are preferred? Chopsticks, cutlery or fingers.
13. Do Filipinos bow to each other?
14. Do you expect your Philippine wife to be ********** and obedient after the marriage?
15. Are you just getting wed for ***? Be honest about this.
16. What is the difference between Tagalog, Filipino, Bisayan, Cebuano, Ilongo?
17. What do you think the differences are between a Thai woman, A Japanese woman or a Philippine woman?
18. Are you wanting to marry a Philippine woman because you think you dislike British women? Be honest with yourself.
19. Do you like hot climates or **** them? Mosquito’s? Poisonous snakes & spiders?
20. Are you tolerant of Bureaucracy or are do you not suffer fools gladly ?
21. Are you prepared for the costs involved? At least one visit to the Philippines plus all the visa fees (UK presently over ?1000).
22. How long are you prepared to wait to get her to the UK? It can be done within 6 months from earliest contact, but usually a year. If they are already married, this can take as long as two years to get an annulment (usually a few thousand pounds). If they have children they wish to bring with them, and the farther is named on the birth certificate, this can cause further delay and costs.
Remember one very authorized point. A very small minority of Asian girls are out to get hard cash off you nothing else. If a Filipina ever asks for bankroll before you have met, move on, or you will find yourself with more problems you can handle. You can tell a true Filipina, they will NEVER ask for bankroll.
