Why do other Pinays prefer Westerrn Men?
For sure, a lot of Filipinas who opted to be in a relationship (or gets married) with a “foreigner” experiences this. The stares, whispers behind their back, and speculations how the relationship started and what’s not. Especially when the man looks like twice her age…the more people tends to be judgemental about it.
I could guess whatever’s in their (these judgemental people)minds: Why would she prefer to be with man of different nationality when same nationality would be easier?
I bet they’re thinking it’s all about MONEY…and nothing else. They forgot that it’s the woman's PERSONAL CHOICE/DECISION…and that thing called “L – O – V – E”.
Admittedly, Filipinos do judge their fellow kabayans more harshly than other nationalities, right? And they’re the same people who hate RACISM…funny, isn’t it?
Let’s tackle the question per se: ”WHY MANY FILIPINAS PREFER WESTERN MEN?”
From someone like ME who had my share of ups and downs of relationships, I could say that
Western men:
1. Don’t go mushy on you or grumbles when you’re not around.
2. They will tell you if they don’t like something…straight to the point.
3. They let you be yourself, free to speak your mind; accept you for what you are and see your worth in other areas and encourage you to grow.
4. With western husband/partners, there is equality, a sharing of task and everything else.
How is it with Filipino men?
They :
1. Generally expects to be waited on by their wives/partners/GF; they leave everything concerning the household to the ladies.
2. Try as much as possible to sugar-coat everything they say. Unfortunately, the ladies still falls for it.(sad to say, I fell for this too many times myself)
3. Mostly, Filipino men are conservative and the jealous-type. They want to have their girls for themselves alone. They would never dream of anyone else openly admiring their girlfriends/wives or else…
4. They’re good in keeping relationships…2 or 3 at a time? Admit it or not…it’s a fact.
PLEASE don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against Filipino men as they are the sweetest, most endearing, loving and caring person one can ever have for a husband/partner/BF.
I’m just looking at it in a different perspective as other nationalities do ask this question of us.
What do you think?
