WHY FILIPINAS LIKE FOREIGNERS / The REAL Reason For A Foreign Affair

Why Filipinas like foreigners is a topic often discussed, but there are good reasons for a foreign affair! You might think it's all about the money, but foreigners represent much more to Filipinas than a fat bank account. Like any subject, the attraction of Filipinas to foreigners has many layers, so let's look at the real reasons behind this phenomenon ... ‪@TheFilipinaPea‬

As a filipina, I absolutely agree with this! ALL ARE ON POINT👌 I always like about the part where most of the foreign guys tend to be more open about interesting stimulating conversations. Also, they tend to be more responsible and mature about a lot of things. Indeed, its hard to seek local guys in here that can talk about interesting stuff and delve into it, they are more close minded and conservative about things, at least from my experience and the local guys that had encountered. Hard to be with someine who cant understand you, it's like being stagnant and you stopped growing, enclosed in a shell and locked up. Cant express your thoughts about life and various things n life. Anyway, this is a very nice video of you Ms. Pea! I've always have to explain these things to every people who were curious of about why some filipinas prefer foreign! Because they would literally always think about the money and the thing down there! And its tiring!haha.Thank you, I can just show this video to them. You elaborated the thoughts perfectly! Hope to found my guy from the other side sooooon! Hahaha God bless and continue to grow, learn and share the knowledge! New subscriber here!

I married a Filipina in 2014,i am 20 years older than than her.currently i am 53 and she is 33. After a few years of school she became a nurse and lucky for me she did. A couple of years after we were married i started to have health problems. It progressed to the point that I ended up on dialysis. Soon after a couple of years later i had a heart attack. Through all this she has stood by my side and taken care of me and she works 2 jobs as a nurse.when my mom had her stroke she also took care of her till the day she died.

I'm currently 31, born and raised in the US. In high school I played recreational volleyball. There was a Filipino family that was heavily involved in the program - the kids were on teams and the parents were coaches as well. They would always invite other players (including myself) to their house and have amazing parties with activities like karaoke, barbecue, volleyball, pool, etc. I went over so much that I basically became a part of their family. I started getting invited to other family events with them. My school picture was even on their fridge. My family was very dysfunctional and broken so these people really felt like an escape for me. I couldn't believe how friendly and loving these people were to a random kid they barely knew. That was the moment I realized Filipino people are just..different. Their warmth is so natural but gets amplified when surrounded by the coldness of westerners. I think about that family so much more now in this rising loneliness epidemic that's plaguing our society.

Well, all you have to do is make a connection again with that family. They treated you as a member of their family.

When I went back to America and mentioned what I did, some of the woman there have me hell for hirings them calling me a sexest. That made me so mad at them saying that, I deleted them from my life.

Another great video from Pea! She is so warm and open. After spending the last 5 years traveling to Asia, spending significant time in Philippines and Thailand, I will say that she has expressed much of what I have experienced. Nearly all the women in these two countries (my limited experience, I am sure similar in other similar countries) are interested in western men. We are exotic, different, different culture, and present "exotic" physical, mental and emotional features. The mere fact that we are in THEIR country, means that we have some sort of significant means, so there is a "self-selection" process, where ALL the western men they meet are 'well off', relatively. So it is only NATURAL for men who have a "high demand" to be able to select the higher quality/value women. This is NOT a position that most western men do not experience. This means that we get access to women vastly more beautiful than what is possible "back home". Their culture also means that they will take much better care of us, than western women ever will. Our cultures are so toxic so much so that we have left them to come here ;-) Their culture is so beautiful for us. Pea does a GREAT JOB (AS ALWAYS) of explaining the attractions, beyond money for S3X. A good friend back home (a feemail), said to me, 'they only want you for your money", which I snidely replied, "just like the women here, except they are highly discounted"...While crass, it is only partially true. Pea pegs it, we find much greater value in the women here, than we do at home, for many reasons beyond S3X. Love the Pea ;-)

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Hahahahaha We’re highly discounted, and a great bargain 😂👍

[@jasonroman578]

This is sooo true, I concur and testify to what this man is saying. Like a older Asian woman told me years ago, “You American men must open your eyes and see there are many foreign woman willing to be with you”. This quote etched its way into my mind, and has been there ever since.

We bought a payong payong for him to use to make money as a driver and when we visited recently he told me he couldn't work for months because the sidecar tire was flat. I went and bought a wrench, he couldn't get the tire off, and walked the tire down to the local shop to repair it. All in all it cost 15 pisos for the wrench, which he could have borrowed, and 30 pisos for resetting the tire as it wasn't even busted. Lastly, for your viewers out there that still haven't experienced the joys and wonder of a Filipina, its really nice to have a partner that not only appreciates the things you do for her but is also very grateful for the things you DON'T do as well. Better yet she likes to reward you for it if you know what I mean.....

Filipinas are still old school and it is a good thing. They appreciate a good relationship, where the couple do things for each other.

As always, Pea, you did a great job of breaking down what really drives a Filipina to having a relationship with a foreigner. I think a lot of filipinas just aren't able to articulate all of these items very well. I hope your sisters will appreciate what you have done for them. While all the things are basically natural attractions for them, they can be hard to explain when the foreigner asks, "why me"? Western females have no clue anymore what it means to be a woman. They think they get power from their independence, when in fact, they just become slaves to a prison of their own creation. But filipinas understand innately what it means to bea woman. They embrace it and enjoy the real power that comes from being a true woman. Thanks for another great video, Pea. You are a national treasure for your country.

I’ve known several young American servicemen who have married a Filipino woman, thinking she was all he was getting. Five years later he’s living in a camper trailer in the driveway of his own house because his young and attractive bride has convinced him to bring over her parents, which brought over the aunts, maybe one uncle. But then they got connected to the local Filipino community in the area so now there’s spontaneous parties of multiple people who this poor serviceman doesn’t know, in his house but they’re all “aunts” or “uncles”. So either he can divorce which will be hell on earth for him or get the camper in the driveway for some peace and quiet.

Very enlightening. I actually have a couple friends here in Finland married to filipinas. I was surprised to find out that there is actually a whole community, a church group of sorts, of them. Very nice people. I don't know them that well but at least my friend's wife is very funny, sincere, intelligent, diligent and a great cook. I wish I could meet a filipina woman but they're all taken already and we know why.

As a filipino myself, here's the reason guys. It's security for her and her family and an opportunity for a better life. That's the reason. Now, if she stays with you depends on the woman herself. You would like to have a woman stay despite the crappy reason, but there are also women who leave after they get to the foreign country. Usually this happens after they get some kind of good job and they start seeing their social market value (which is usually higher than the male). Keep in mind as well guys, when you marry a Filipina, you marry their family as well and will most likely find yourself supporting them too. I'm not saying all Filipinas are like this, but a good portion are. Also, the whole Filipinas or asian are girl subservient idea. It's false. Asian women in general are usually the most bossy wives, they all turn into tiger moms. Filipinas tend to be more fiery as well

[@thornelderfin]

I am not a Filipino, but I can confirm what you are saying. I lived near Davao for more than 2 years (absolutely love Philippines) and had few short relationships until I found a really good girl and we stayed together all till the end (I had to leave due to health reasons, we are still very good friends and she is happily engaged now). I've seen many foreigners (neighbors) having problems with Filipinas, but it all came from one single cause - if you find a Filipina that is much much younger than you, you are not attractive, you are not great at relationships, you don't bring all the other values you should into your relationship, then you are dating very much above your league, and sooner or later she will betray you or find a "better deal" with another guy. Like my 63 years old neighbor always dating 18 years old Filipinas and then being surprised they give him very serious troubles all the time. But if you find a Filipina that is closer to your league (age, finances, maturity, personality, looks) then you can have a very stable relationship. My other neighbor was 55 and dated a 35 years old mature good natured Filipina and they are still together, have a baby and are getting married. It's all about balance - if you get too greedy you will get burned.

[@kenmichielsen1642]

Hey there Pea, when my Filipina came to the Netherlands 25 or so years ago I met her at work. She and I became platonic friends and with my American background we had lots of similar interests. She sometimes would explain why she gave up on Filipino men. You ticked all the boxes in this video. So after her first 2 relationships here (steroid freak and later an alcoholic) we ran into each other in the supermarket and wow did we hit it off. Apparently we both had a secret crush on each other back then but both of us were involved so nothing ever happened. Not even a flirt! Now 20 years down the road we're together for the simple reason that I'm a gentleman (her words!). She now has someone she can trust and depend on. I now have the same and more! The reason I'm explaining this is because your video is absolutely true in my girlfriend's case. She's not with me for the money or my banana 🤣🤣 It's the whole package you mentioned today. So once again Pea, you hit the bullseye with this episode! Have a great day Pea! Cheers! 😉

Love your channel. Just found it. My wife's Indonesian. And this has been a question I always pondered. I've also dated Filipina women in the past. For me, and with my military experience overseas, I became more attracted to foreign women, as an American. And the bigger the cultural differences, the more interested I become. My wife's Muslim. And I'm an Atheist. Although I was raised Catholic. But I've always wondered.... exactly why, all the reasons, Asian women in general, would prefer western men. Thanks for offering some reasons and explanations. My wife and I are discussing it now. ❤️

I dived in November 2009 met Jen on line and flew her to Hong Kong to meet me while I was working there. Immigration tried to stop her leaving the Philippines she had a stand up argument with the immigration officer and she was allowed to fly. It’s now 2022 and we have three amazing daughters aged 11, 7 and 4 months and a lovely house in Santa Rosa Laguna after living in Singapore for 5 years and a condo in Manila for 4 years. At no time did my wife ask for money, expect money or ask for possessions. In fact she constantly pushed back from any help for herself and told me straight up I am not expected to support her family (I did of course!)

Understand that most filipinas have zero use for history science etc etc. Now if it's it's movie stars, singers or fashion they're experts. They live in the moment. They're not interested in boring details or things that don't affect them. I can put a filipina to sleep in three minutes talking about history. I think of filipinos n filipinas as children in the most beautiful sense. They're very innocent. Complex but innocent. Truly children of God. I wouldn't change a thing about them. They'll shock you and surprise you with wisdom, intelligence, beauty, and challenge your views of the world and yourself. Girls that are poor aren't all looking for security. Many are very ambitious to go to school etc. Almost always for the sake of their families. They're pretty selfless and generous and loving, caring, funny and happy people. There's alot more than two kinds of filipina. You need to slow down. They'll find you.

[@MrJento]

People are complex creatures. We spend a lot of time in self analysis. Philosophy, sociology, religion all attempt to explain “why” we think as we do. As you note people seek security, both men and women. Thus the majority of every culture, nation, family or tribe seeks the known path. They stay at home, marry the girl next door, and are “conventional” in every way. At the same time every population seems to have its malcontents. Those who seek the exotic. I could suggest that there is a genetic element to this, but time limits elaboration. Rather I will point out that down through time wars, that is contact between separate societies has resulted in about 6-8% “war brides” returning home with the warriors, and 1-2% of the warriors “going native” and staying in a new culture, usually for love. You have done an excellent job in this video breaking down this desire for the exotic, from both sides. Excellent job. Fox out.

With that said, something my gf says always sticks with me "you're just different" good and bad, even the young-ish generation has a lot in common with the older generation. A lot of us that want to settle down and even retire in PH have the same mindset. We're tired of the double standards and games in the west are looking for something real and genuine that is surprisingly still out there. When we find a good one, we're loyal, loving and feel like we can be men again. Different from constantly being emasculated and constantly finding the preverbal measuring stick of money, money, height and money.

Hi Pea, thanks for putting your this list together, attraction is really quite a difficult thing to get a handle on sometimes, mainly because we subconsciously assume everyone else is thinking about things the same way we do. It can be difficult for us to accept someone else's point of view particularly when it is at odds with our own view. Personally I tend to judge myself a lot more harshly than others are likely to and in fact I believe I suffer from body dysmorphia to some degree and it took me quite a number of years to be more accepting of myself and perhaps to trust others judgement of my physical appearance above my own in some regards. I completely agree with you that there is going to be a world of difference between the way guys behave when they're on holiday rather than moving there permanently, like you say the grass is always greener (except in the Amtrak Wars novels) and you shouldn't pee in your own pool.

Also, men in the west are conditioned to think that we are inherently bad by being men. We are oppressors and supporting the patriarchy and if we date women in a 3rd world country then we are also losers bellow average useless men.

"You can't get that many things done in one day in the Philippines" - this is so true. When I returned to Australia after two years in Manila, that's one thing I noticed. In the Philippines, it's just so much dead time waiting, travelling, scanning, lining up....

She was spot on as far as Filipinos and “good enough”. It was an issue my Filipina wife and I took months to work out. My wife has a great work ethic but would get on my case for “excesses” we Americans do. Like owning 2 vehicles and leaving stuff plugged in and not having to worry about things bursting into flames. 🔥 Also stuff like hot water and air conditioning. Plus actually fixing stuff the right way and not just half-assing it. All women want a man who is their superior and will lead them to a prosperous life. If they don’t they are just kidding themselves. Filipinas take pride in being wives where American wives get bored and initiate divorce 5-8 years into a marriage. Filipinas have no idea who Carrie Bradshaw is. American women operate on Carrie Bradshaw’s level of entitlement. Where an average at best woman rides the cc in her 20s and 30s and expects a millionaire to wife her up at 40. Then gets mad at the world when men don’t. Filipinas live in the real world. Western women destroy their lives living a fantasy.

[@Rusty571000]

American laws make it too dang convenient for wives to get divorced. They don’t lose a thing, while the man suffers. I’m tired of the western world but have a few worries about this dream of a Filipina wife. I’ve got 2 kids. I would like them to get their inheritance rather than spending it building a home for my Filipina’s parents. Is that a terrible thing too worry about. I’ve seen families broken up over that. Kids hate the stepmom because she’ll get their inheritance. Maybe I’m selling my kids short. My wife passed away 3 years ago so if I luck out and get me a wife they’ll feel like I’m $hitting all over their mom anyway. Any ideas?

[@merrywave221]

Pea, I find your views so interesting and valid where the focus is on the personal qualities of potential male partners. I would like to give another much more broader perspective. In my opinion, there are three primary reasons why this situation has developed in the Philippines. The first is that the Philippines is a developing country, with characteristics of a third world country, with pockets of poverty spread throughout the cities & provinces. Though there is a middle class, a very large proportion of the working male population is on very low income. As a result , the average Filipino man, the earner in the family, has difficulty bringing in enough money to provide the standard of living which some Filipinas now desire and aspire to. The second reason is that due to the influence of the internet & social media and the rise of affluence worldwide, some Filipinas now desire a standard of living for their families which is higher than that of their parents and past generations. And the average Filipino man is unable to provide this for them (this in itself would surely contribute to social & psychological problems to this male population). The third reason is that a large proportion of the citizenry speak English, so the women can easily communicate with English-speaking foreigners. This allows relationships and marriages to proceed more smoothly. Traditionally, in all societies, the woman (as a female) brings herself to the relationship/marriage, where she has the capacity to bear children, as well as providing the skills of loving, nurturing, and caring. While the man is expected to have sufficient earning capacity to provide a home, as well as an ongoing income to meet family expenses. It appears that some Filipinas have high expectations in this regard, which the average Filipino man would find difficult to meet. But of course we are only talking about a small proportion of the country's population, as most Filipinas marry Filipino men. Also, of course Filipinas are capable of genuine love & affection towards all races, whether they be Filipinos or foreigners. But now the Filipinas have the choice to seek out a partner who is more capable of meeting the demands of a marriage contract, whether that be personal or economic.

[@guitarista666]

As you listed the traits of western men that a Filipina might find attractive, I made a mental note of which of these traits would be valued here in America by women. Quite a few would have little or no value here.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

So I’ve heard 😔

[@LL-ws7le]

A married Filipina was cheating on her Filipino husband with a friend of my husband and mine. They carried on their affair for twelve years. I love riding the waves at the beach in front of the condo where my husband works. Everyone knew when I was not at work I could be found at the ocean. Male and female friends would join me. Marie commented to her lover a Filipina would never do that.How can she do that? My response was I'm a married American woman who might be seen with male friends in front of my husband's work who doesn't sleep with other men in secret. I never cheated on my husband and certainly would never be like a Filipina and have a 12 year affair. How shameful I swim in the ocean with our friends in front of my husband's work where he comes out and joins us on his break.

[@TheRagingPlatypus]

Pretty much all of them. They want a Disney fantasy. Not only is it FANTASY but if you think about it, you see the highlights packed into an hour and a half and then...they lived happily ever after. In other words, the rest of their lives was rather mundane. This is life. We have a few moments of excitement...boy meets girl is a big one too. The rest of it is just life. Even in the fantasy, they can only fill an hour and a half...and half of that is filler songs.

[@brentbackman2911]

My beloved pinay is very frugal. She knows how to squeeze every value from a Buffalo nickel, skin the hide and sell it for a profit. We work hard together and never give up. We have gone through tough times and it's those experiences that draw us closer and tighter together. She helps me slow down a bit and I inspire her to be more motivated. I am three days away from flying there. She's very anxious about my journey until I get there. Same with returning. I am a retired school teacher, paramedic, and combat veteran. She absolutely loves snuggling under my arm. I adore this too. It's a big reward to just relax with her. Here's for the trip!!!!!!!

[@davidplatter7671]

I remember someone who said that I only married a Filipina because I wanted a "submissive wife" - I laughed so hard when I heard this because they obviously had no experience or knowledge of Filipinas. 🤣

[@woodspirit98]

Omg dude that is funny. Submissive??? Ummm yes. They don't understand that word very well. Submission is the EXCHANGE of power. Not relinquishing it. You better be prepared to be submissive to her in the kitchen or with money or shopping or what you're wearing etc etc etc.dont mess with a machete mama...don't matter how big you are.

[@boracay12]

I bet it was a woman who said that. Probably a american woman . They confuse nice , sweet , caring and not being contentious with " submissive" They think they need to be a biatch to be a " strong woman" like the woman who put on TikTok that it was rude for her father in-law who assisting his son her husband building a house for them to live in . to clean up the tools and the house . She ranted on about it .. and refused to help .. then when the husband and father did it themselves . She then went in TikTok and gloated and name called ...again . A few days later the husband divorced her . Smart move on his part And typical attitude of many American woman. Compared to that pinay are " submissive" or not a self centered selfish biatch .

I like how Pea talks about how our new crop of Westerners, at least in America, have lost so much. When it has gotten so bad that even ladies in foreign countries recognize what is happening with our young men hopefully its a wake up call to get things turned around.

[@Falconlibrary]

We older generations failed our young people. They didn't raise themselves; we did that, or failed to do it. It's easier to raise a child right than fix a broken adult. Most young men I know (under 35) aren't very self-reliant and are, to paint with a broad brush, soft. But who raised them to be that way? We did.

[@jackandblaze5956]

Things with American women won't get turned around (for the better) in OUR lifetimes, it's just getting worse every day. You'd better just start saving your money for a passport and a plane ticket. Don't wait. In a blink, we'll be old.

Thank you for another great video. Your thoughts are very inciteful and clear as to what attracts Filipinas to foreigners. I think I must have broken every rule that bloggers swear we must not do if we want a successful relationship with a Filipina. I don't care about the rules and know that I'm happy. My relationship works for me. I believe that in the end, it just takes two people who love and care for each other, are honest with each other and that makes the difference. Thank you for your insiteful blog. It just helped me understand things a bit better. Please keep up the good work.

[@winduncan9818]

Great video, the only thing I think was missing was Westerners seem to be a bit more accepting of step kids. I think the face thing comes in to play a lot in Asian countries, something painfully obvious in Thailand. The Asian face saving option is the problem never happened, ignore it, better to not embarrass anyone. The Western approach is admit the problem, learn from it and grow as a person, a couple, or even a company. Not really sure how Filipinas look at this but I do see this as a major difference between Western and local guys.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Yes, step kid acceptance is a huge deal 👍👍👍

[@jameswelch1054]

I get and agree with your comment about face saving vs. resolving problems. Dating a Pinay is very special experience, but in my mind, it will be a short term experience. Most often the relationship will end after a year, or 2, because of an accumulation of unresolved problems. The face saving philosophy works better for the Chinese, because they are not an emotional culture.

In the last month I have convinced numerous family and friends to book a holiday in your beautiful country. Thanks for your videos.

[@tcncwolfgang4639]

Hi Pea, You are just amazing and for sure an outstanding woman with so much to share. I sure are very grateful for your work and pretty much any of your videos. In this one you really make us "older" westerners feel more than appreciated by you filipina. However, it is not us western men who are the special ones…It is the personalities and behaviours of the filipina to make you so desirable! So you filipina women deserve all the credit and especially you, as you are definitely that very special and exquisite woman any man would be lucky to have on his side as a partner. Thank you and as always…I cant wait for your next video! :-)
