This term (often used by those bitter about Westerners seeking foreign wives) is neither fair nor accurate.

It’s true that in past decades men would buy mailing addresses of women in catalogues. They were simply getting contact information and it was up to the woman to respond or ignore letters from long distance admirers. I first met my wife online and we met in person some time later.

Those who have spent most of their life dating more outspoken, outgoing Western women will certainly be surprised by the shyness of most Filipinas. Catholicism encourages women to be conservative but a very loving, understanding and kind nature accompanies that conservation.

Most of the guys I’ve met with Filipina wives have very similar stories—none of them “bought” their wives. Some of my friends who found love in the Philippines married women 20 or more years their junior.

Most Filipinas (female of "Filipino"), such as myself, tend to wait until our late teens or early 20s to start dating because we've been raised with the belief that family and our studies come first. A Filipino family is bound to own at least one (because different ones have different songs, duh). Guys who showed interest in dating me saw it a challenge when they found out I'm saving myself for marriage.

(It helped that I attended an All Girls Catholic High School so there was very little temptation.) But when I finally started dating my non-Filipino boyfriend, there were a few things he needed to know:1. One cultural value that Filipinos pride themselves on is "close family ties." Filipino families — and generally speaking, most Asian families — are very close. So if you get invited to a party and everyone is drunk and singing, I'm sorry, but you cannot escape the mic. They think they can slowly pressure me and break me down, but Filipinas are raised to believe sex is for someone you intend to spend the rest of your lives with.
