Filipinas - Opinions and Advice

[Firedick]

Undray,

If you are a resident of the U.S. do not marry her until you get into the states. A fiancee' visa is far easier to get than a spousal visa. Seems wrong, but it is the case. Fiancee' visas are good for 3 months. Once you are married (within those 3 months), the lady is allowed to reside in the states until her final spousal approval is granted. It will take almost a year for the fiancee' visa and up to 6-8 months longer for the permanent spousal.

Good luck

The only other thing you will need to do is obtain a to a "Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage" before filing an application for a marriage license. Generally, this certificate states that there are no legal impediments to you getting married in the Philippines (like you have another wife).

In the case of the US there is no central database that keeps marriage records. Thus, in the case of the US (and I am sure other countries), the Philippine Government accepts an "Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage."

I would say that your chances are excellent. Your biggest challenge will be whom to select. I doubt that the authorities here will present a problem so long as you pay them for "special favors" which is part of the expatriate way of life here. There are loads of bureaus here specializing in finding brides for foreigners, and many of the ladies here prefer foreign men. I doubt it would take you very long to connect.

Good luck.

Undray,

Odds of finding a nice girl willing to get married in the Philippines is pretty good in your favor. And for her, too. Check the Yahoo site and you'll find a lot of them there. Spend some time in Manila and no doubt many would fall (latch on) for you. Many foreigners marry a filipina so that they can buy property sinces foreigners are not allowed to purchase land.

Getting a marriage license from city hall is not a problem as long as the girl is over 25. Anything under will need the consent of parent or guardian but almost anyone will do. The fee is under P500 and is a civil marriage where if your lucky and a judge is available, you can get married on the spot for a couple of hundred pesos more. Rings are required. Grab any two city clerks as witnesses and tip them just to be nice. Church weddings are a little tougher to schedule.

Have fun and explore outside Manila to get the whole perspective on the many different women available.

Hey Guys

What are the odds of me finding a nice, smart, pretty fillpina chick for possible marriage in Manila? Manila and the surrounding cities to be exact...

If I am lucky enough to find that, will the Philippine government give me a hard time wtih marriage licenses? I know they do in Brazil, but I don't know about the Philippines.

Thanks

White skin is God to some Asians!

Marconista,

I, too prefer the more native pinay woman. Darker skin tones and not much of an chinese-filipina. When people from other countries watch a show from the Philippines, many say they look chinese or are of a lighter complexion. And when they come here, what they see on TV or the movies is totally different.

To my filipino co-worker, my cebu girl is typical or Alright in his view. And while my former Ex-GF (White-Sioux) is drop dead gorgeous. To me my Cebu girl is fine as she can be while my ex was pretty. Ask most filipino men who they would like to be with and many would quote foreign women models or actresses or light skinned filipinas. Go check out their local issue of FHM and see who the men in the Philippines desires.

Maybe that is why I like the girls out in the provinces over the city girls in Makati/Manila.

Beautiful or not?

There are discussions in the forum about the beauty of the Pinay and there is a saying "The beauty is in the eye of the ... (something), right? What you may find beautiful may not be so from another mans point of view. I think this differs from where you come from.

To me, the native filipina is more beautiful than a chinese-filipina, but when I discuss this with filipino men, they have the opposite opinion.

Why is that?
I shall try to answer from what I learned from the pinoy gentlemen I work with, and I would invite you to discuss this.

The filipino men look for something different, as what is pure pinoy and beautiful to a scandinavian is an ordinary girl to them. They would call the girls in LA Cafe, EDSA and Bourgos "exotic" and not beautiful at all, catering only to foreigners.
They would prefer places that caters to mostly pinoys, as the girls there would look chinese or even european. And those european looking girls that I have seen in RP is not beautiful when viewed through a europeans eye.

So how do you look upon the beauty of a pinay?
If from Asia?
If from India?
If from Europe?
If from USA?
If from South America?
If from ???

BTW, did you know that the Japanese men not married to a japanese, mostly are married to Brazilien ladies, and then Pinays comes as a good number 2. Good taste they have, the Japanese!

Peace

Please dont make the mistake of thinking that filipinas are submissive. They may seem submissive but the truth is they are very passionate (remember the spanish bolld & influence for 400 years) and could blow up anytime. Treat them like decent people and they will respond accordingly.

[Kencal MD]

I do think that the Filipinas are the most submissive women in Asia followed by the Japaneses and Thais.

In terms of sex Filipinas are better than all the others and they like to please.

[Spidey]

I agree with GE. The girls in Makati are almost like the American girls in the states, b/c they are working, highly educated, and free thinkers. I find them to be very sharp, demanding, and independent. Prices are Makati can be almost the same as States prices. There are higher standard, so the prices are higher.

If you don't like this, then you have to go to the outskirt of the city, or to the provinces, where the girls are more submissive.

Thanks for the great information guys. "Young grasshopper is learning much".

Intransit:

In general, I agree with you. The problem is that after the sex wears off, there's nothing much left except to lust after someone with whom you haven't slept before. The exception may be college education women from fairly middle class families. My experience is that these girls are more independent, brighter and more inquisitive, and are still wonderful in bed. Of course, you still have the same problem with them wondering where the "relationship" is going. I have a friend who believes that the answer is to always have 3 girls friends: a number 1, with whom you spend Saturday night and one night during the week; a number 2, who gets Friday night and another night during the week; and a "rotating" number 3 who shares your bed whenever you're tired of the other two. It seems to work for him.

As to Filipinas raised in the US; they're Americans. No different really from other American women.

[Sun Devil]

I have noticed a difference between Filipinas raised in the US and those in the PIs. American Filipinas tend to be more independent and self-assured whereas those raised in the Philippines are more subservient.

As a rule, I second the notion of what Intransit is saying, Filipinas raised in the PIs are loving and very family oriented but you have to think for them, advised them all the time of what to do, and they have low self-confidence in trying to do things by themselves.

If you are the type of man who likes to tell their significant others on what to do and how to think 24/7, then the Filipina is for you.

It was a nice confidence booster that my opinion was asked all the time by a former Filipina girlfriend initially but it became tiring later on since I am used to more independent chicks.

[Intransit]

Gents,

I would certainly agree that Filipinas are better than Thais, although this is very much a personal preference. I know some guys who swear by Thais. I don't see the attraction. Although I've had some great experiences with Thai girls outside of Thailand, i.e. saunas in Macau, I've never had anybody that I'd consider above good in Thailand.

I'm just about to dump my Filipina girlfriend of two years. She's the fuck of the century and the sexiest thing that's ever shared my bed...but, although she's 10 years my junior, she acts more like 15 years my junior (which would make her about 15). Her big ambition is to be with me full-time. Well, I've been married and I'm not going to do that again. She could do quite a bit in terms of making her own way, but she doesn't. I'm tired of supporting her. She tells me she's bored--well, do something about it. If she came to be with me (I live in a non-English-speaking Asian country), she'd either have to learn the language, or I have to be a babysitter all the time. If I wanted a kid, I'd have one.

This may be an ongoing problem if you have an ongoing relationship with a Filipina. The sex, geezus, it's like having your own personal porn star, complete with body. They may take a mouthful of your cum and then run off to go to church, but at least you get the first part. If you're looking for a traditional cooking-cleaning-taking care of the kids wife that also takes it in the ass, then the Philippines is the place for you. However, if you're looking for more of a partner, someone who's going to have a life of their own, unless you start banging Filipina movie stars and singers, you're probably going to be disappointed.
