When we were travelling with my beau in the Philippines just last year. It's like wherever we may go we will meet couples like the foreigner guy is obviously way too old for the young Filipina lady.
My European beau is just 6 years older than me and we look like just on the same age but everytime we see those special couples.. we may look at them but there's really nothing have to say. They are everywhere. Europe, USA, Asia & etc. but we can't deny it that not all Filipinos are open to such things like that so just ignore them if you meet one. You're marrying your fiancee and not all the Filipinos. You just can't please everybody, you know. Just continue to show love & respect to your Filipina fiancee and she will be loyal and a loving wife in return. (--,)

Hey, I'm glad to hear you're concerned about how local society would perceive a young Filipino woman marrying a foreigner.

Quite frankly, a lot of people have a lot of different opinions on this. There will be educated opinions and there will be prejudiced ones too. And the nationality, race or skin color doesn't matter.

I'm not judgmental when it comes to interracial and intercultural relationships, but I can almost read some people's minds when a Filipina-foreign national pair are seen together and it seems like a May-December affair. I don't want to voice out the negative vibes I get from them.

I would rather hope that people get involved in any relationship with an open mind and with a positive outlook of each other's future in mind. Being pessimistic never helped anybody.

Would be nice if the young woman's family understands the kind of relationship you have/you want, for smoother ties with the whole lot. Filipinos have tight-knit family ties. Usually, when you marry one, you're actually marrying the entire family. Heheh! It happens, I tell ya. I just hope my family gives me a bit more privacy and space when my guy and I decide to get hitched. He's English and I'm Filipina, by the way, with a ten-year age difference.

Well, as long as you know what you're doing and that it's the right thing to do, you shouldn't let other people's perceptions bring you (or your bride-to-be's feelings) down.

Hi there.

I think it is perfectly okay for you to marry a Filipina. And no, it will not be looked down upon. I am sure a lot of women are dying to get out of our poverty stricken country.

But my concern is "young". How young is young?

Pinays are ok or the girls are ok but i dont know about guys but for me i dont care if a foreigner wants to marry a Pinays

First, it should be spelled as FILIPINOS and FILIPINAS.

We, filipinos, are actually hospitable to any race and color. Just don't make us angry. We are welcome to marry foreigners as long as the intention is good. But when you do bad against one of our people, the community will take you back for what you did.

does it matter?...we are hospitable people & respects foreigners...the color is not important only your intentions...

skin color do not matter

tisya

you cannot please everybody anywhere in the world so why bother.the bottom line is marriage is between the two of you,as long as you marry out of love and not for anything you two will be ok.btw we filipinos are extra nice with foreigners noo matter what your color is.

No to all three questions. In fact- the locals love foreigners and love having a white skin (as opposed to Caucasians who are jealous with the tanned skin color). Maybe some will look down but it can happen anywhere. But I think most will accept it especially if two people really want each other, respectful, and will have good future and that you seem like a good guy. We're very family oriented, religious, and very strict with girls. It's important to be respectful.

Just me!

Nope it doesn't matter! Good luck with that!

it shouldn't really matter for as long as your intentions are good. We don't look down on anyone for marrying someone of a different race. When you meet her family, show them that you mean well and your intentions are true in marrying the woman.
Now, if you look really old and the woman is more than 20 years younger, then that's a different story. People may say something and speculate on your intentions as well as the woman's intentions for marrying you. But who cares, follow your heart and go for it...

I can only speak for myself, but I don't see any real stigma against women who marry foreigners. I know lots of half-filipinos. The mail-order bride is really criticized more because it seems very unromantic doesn't it?

Us FILIPINO/AS (i am quarter filipino and living in australia, and the philippines rules!) , we don't really care as long as like you are like aren't really old because that looks a bit weird, but i guess your young and what not lol. but anyhoo my dad is white and married a filipino (my mum haha) and he comes from australia, it's not like we are racist, we are really accepting of other peoples.

I don't see any problem as long as they are happy with each other.

If you're coming to the Philippines to find you a wife (in the truest sense of the word), then I commend your good decision. Filipina women do make excellent mates. I hope you find the girl of your dreams soon and may she love you with the love that you deserve. And don't worry about what people will say. It's really none of their business. Good luck and may you be happy with the choices you make.

Skin color doesn't matter.

All we ask is that you treat her right, respect and love her.

jan-na~â™¥~ and im luvin it

as long as they like/love each other.. race doesn't matter

Jacque M

It depends. If the woman is educated or is known to stand on her own then she gets respect and no one will gossip about her if she marries a foreigner. If obviously she's only after a nice life with the moneyed foreigner then people will talk behind her back.

as long as the girl you'll marry is single not taken or what not,

then it's perfectly fine.

Doesn't matter what anybody thinks as long as they get that plane ticket for the trip to the big PX across the pond LOL
