[@Xannika2008]

yes, but would you apply the same to a European woman?

[@allnamesaretaken]

Clicked on this out of boredom rather than curiosity, wasn't disappointed. The relaxed way it was filmed and edited made it engaging enough that i wouldn't have complained if it ran for longer. Narrator: One of Europe's most remote regions shows how integration can work. Integration can only work if immigrants want to integrate, unfortunately, this isn't always the case and some expect a country to change to be like the country they left. You don't have to give up traditions to integrate but it does help by taking part in local traditions. You can have the best of both worlds, only you make it a problem when you demand local traditions change to suit your entitlement. Filipino women are some of the most amazing people i have met, extremely humble.

[@pauldavies5655]

your correct about integration , it only works when they want to integrate !! unfortunately ------ most from a certain RELIGION --------do not want to do that. well not in britain they don t !

[@beerclaww]

I would think integration from women (and men) marrying a native rarely is a problem. the problem usually comes from taking in too many people with a diffrent culture and no connection to the country or the people there. And also placing them all in the same neighbourhoods so they have very limited interactions with the native people. I'd say the problem is rarely with the immigrants, but with the politicians who "compete" with their peers in accepting the most immigrants. because in their eyes more immigrants means you're a better person.

[@blueheart8786]

Having sun and warm weather does not automaticually mean you are less lonely. I know of many Pinoys that do not feel lonely in cold Canada, Norway and so on. It is not the weather that defines whether you will feel lonely or not, but more if you find companionsship, and in many places you will find the warmest and kindest people in the cold places. Given it is hard to a first get close to them, but when you do, then you get a friend for life. Often people in the cold places are more genuine than in warmer places.

[@youreprettygood2603]

I am a high wage earning white American woman and even I would not marry a man that will not provide for me and the children we will have together. It is not just to clean up after a grown man, cook his meals, wash his close, birth and raise kids his kids, and then be called a prostitute or reduced to a bed buddy just because the man brings his paycheck to the table.

Lovely people and place. It's nice to see children being raised in a safe, low crime environment. Regarding conservative traditions, I'm very left in my politics and very conservative about life style choices and decisions. Self respect and respect for others is essential to me. As long as a society does not harm the vulnerable, protects all people equally under the law, enforces the law, and respects nature and animals, I would not mind living in a conservative society. What I loathe and cannot tolerate is corruption, which I believe causes major harm to my species. Very lovely people and families featured in the video and the island is magnificiently beautiful.

The narrator says this is an example of how integration can work. Well, certainly but it is very unique. Generally, it's Filipino women marrying Faroe men. Not families integrating or single men. Also, it wasn't well explained why women were leaving, they wanted 'excitement' and the young men did not? Or was it because women were expected to stay home and keep house and be subservient to their husbands?

[@TINTINMIKMIK]

@Bárður that is what I understand from the video.

[@BatsAndBadgers]

@Bárður the subtext in the documentary is still pretty much there. Traditional, constraining, new role model, equal opportunities, and philipino women viewed as traditional.

Please refrain from thinking that Asian women are subservient to their husbands. I'm a son of an Asian parents and my Mom is the boss in our household. I like to say my Dad maybe the emperor, but my Mom is the Shogun who actually rule!

Probably true about the DNA, but Filipinos, as long as they feel they belong to a community or are part of a group, find it easy to smile. The Filipino is generally a social person rather than an individual.

[@fredmidtgaard5487]

A very nice video. I missed the interviewer explaining that this phenomenon of women leaving rural areas is common all over the world. The men feel a duty to continue on the family farm which has been in the family for centuries, or the family fishing company, and the women want the opportunities of the cities. In Norway, we have more than 60% of the students at colleges and universities that are women. In rural areas, just as on the Faeroe Islands, it is a majority of men. Marriage between Africans and Norwegians is very skewed. out of the 550 per year, 500 are women marrying an African man, and only 50 Norwegian men marrying African women. The women often meet their African men on the beach on a holiday trip or as employed on an NGO. These relationships are statistically very short-lived, leaving the men in limbo because they get forced out of the country. Marriage between Norwegians and Asians is also skewed, but this time more Norwegian men marry Asian women than the other way around. Because there are more Norwegian women than men in the cities, and fewer of them in rural areas, a slightly higher proportion of rural men travel far to find someone to marry. Even though there are a few bad cases, these marriages generally last long statistically. I think it would be nice if the interviewer had explained these things. She should also have explained that old fashioned traditional values are more common all over the world in rural areas. The question could also have been turned around: Why do women not want to live in rural areas? And this is worldwide. It is not only that there is a more traditional lifestyle. There are other factors too. I do not know the answer, but I think it has a deep biological background. We see the same pattern in genetic studies of African tribes way before there was any movement to cities: The women move away, the men stay. Some tribes have rules to counter that, such as in the Maasai that the youngest daughter inherits the parent's house.
