Good qualities of a Filipina being beautiful, sexy, sweet, caring, loving, thoughtful, understanding, generous, loyal, religious, family oriented smart and a housewife material are the top reasons that attract western man to look for a Filipina to marry.
But with the transformation of our world brought by technology, it also created changes to Filipinas attributes.
Because of western influences from TV shows movies, magazines etc. portraying beauty, fashion, love and luxuries, it changed the perspective of a Filipina from simplicity into sophistication. That if one could catch attention, it brings her to spotlight.
Women go with the trend, to be classy and confident no matter where she is. Carries herself gorgeously. They like catching attention and be the talk of the town. If a girl is driven by a car towards her house, she is envied by many and everybody wanted to be like her.
This doesn’t apply to all Filipinas of course, but such picture is common.
Everybody dreams of a beautiful life, save themselves and their families from poverty and enjoy to life. This triggers a person to do any ways and means to improve their lives. Go to a high quality private Institution, flow with the environment, even if their families cant afford .Students stick to a sugar daddy(a.k.a. dirty old man)just to pursue her studies. Sacrificing issues against them. These are the usual city scenarios about the so called “social climber” Filipinas.
And with the breakthrough of internet (online dating), distant relationships bloomed. Everything became possible. With the strong mindset about dollar and an American guy connection, it actuates Filipinas in reaching for their dreams. With the irresistible charm endearing qualities of a Filipina, men slave themselves and became genie in the bottle. With how fast and convenient it is to look their other half, it also deteriorates Filipinas impression at the same time. I am talking about scams that discredits the established good reputation. Why do they scam? For a lot of reasons, which includes a strong need of money, they are lured with materialism, and they are not sincere. They found a door to unlock, (people they think who are gullible and weak who could be the answer to their problems) It’s a hard stain to remove. And men, on the other side, kept going on with their search for the right person, but with a conclusion that true Filipina is rare to find .High percentage of men you can find on dating sites are retirees. A scenario of old guy-young girl couple is common in Philippines. They will be the talk in her province, saying that she’s lucky to have found her bank. But most will be impressed of her practicality, coz she’s obviously using her brain over heart. And with the idea of family-orientation, she did it for a good reason, her family.
On the other hand, you can also witness successful stories of Western men-Filipinas marriages. Filipina's commitment in marriage is strong. The guy she marries is her chosen lifetime partner with Gods blessing. On the guy’s side, though he has to marry her family as well, he still felt lucky to have a priceless gem. It just a matter on how he deals with it to determine the success of marriage. True Filipinas are not gold diggers; they just value security and stable life. Regardless of the race, its important to examine her real color!
