You guys really make me sad.
I fell in love with the Philippines and the Filipino way back in 1973 when I was only 17, my dream was always to move here and live here and be part of the comunity (at least the best I could).
The beaches, mountains,trees, the families, the beautiful women and the kind men, the respect and kind words they all had for each other no matter what the situation.
Now I find in some ways my dream has almost become a nitemare...
I have visited many Asian countries so it is not because PI is the only place I have been. (heck, I have also lived in a couple of other countries) but my heart was always in the Philippines
Over the years I learned one thing about the Filipino people as a whole....Want to know what it is?
There are only 2 types of Filipino...
1. Very kind hearted, share with others, a friend for life.
- OR -
2. EVIL as Satan himself
And except for a couple of you who tried to answer this question nicely, The rest of you simply have proven my point...EVIL IS BECOMING THE NORM FOR THE YOUNGER FILIPINO GENERATION.
Such hate and disrespect you have for each other (that's not what I remember way back in 73-74)
The hate you have for the forigner who comes here to live and be part of your beautiful country, and God help us if we happen to fall in love with a local and marry her....
In that case you say she is ugly, or a whore, or after a green card...and in your minds the forigner becomes a person who is worthless in his own country, can't find a spouce in their own country...
It never once enters your minds that maybe some of us are here because we love you and your country and envy what you have here (and don't even understand what you have that some of us wants to be a part of).
The Filipinos that I met and got to know way back over 30 years ago would be ashamed of the way the younger generation (on a whole) has changed.
Now go ahead, give me your thumbs down or report me, and get angry and send me the hateful emails (I EXPECT MANY). |

It is because most of these guys are exposed only to the kind that they married and were tickled pink to have snatched them up before others did.
But, I guess the real reason is that those guys only deserve those women as they themselves could offer no better to better looking ones. :)) Just kidding, don't shoot me.
Guys, joking aside, why not just take responsibility for the judgement and decisions you made in marrying those ladies?
Besides, I would bet that the real reason you married those Filipinas was because of their sweetness and caring attitudes which you find lacking among the women from your own country.
So, stop complaining, consider yourselves lucky instead. |

jan-na~♥~ and im luvin it

it's the foreigner's decision why they marry one. maybe these 'crappy' filipinas got brains or attitude. |

Because I think they're not really after the outside. They're more after the care and affection. |

First, everyone with a negative answer need to close your eyes for a moment and think about what LIFE is about.
We all look into other peoples life like we are so perfect and normal and fail to take a good look at ourselves.
Measuring and scanning people as if we sit on the right hand of God is a sin. Self exalted people and anyone who think that they are more than what they are will not have God's favor unless they change their ways and outlook on all people.
Add: What if you had sons and daughters and you find people talking bad about them, how would you feel. Everything that looks good is not always good.
A long lasting marriage of love and commitment is far better than a short lived outer beauty that will fade away over time.
Its better to have life skills than good looking features.
Some of you people need to grow up mentally. |

we pass judgement very fast. (sorry for the pun)
thats the true aesthetic of a true philippine islander. we (most of us) are chinese,spanish,american or japanese by descent (and not by injection.)
and most foreigners appreciate it. they are tired of fair complexion maiden, light colored hair, long legs and blue eyes that they usually see in their country that we consider (in the philippines) as beautiful and hot.
i used to work in a country club and most ceo's have filipina wives looking like maids (as described). i got that perception but as checked, they are brainers. i am so ashamed of myself passing judgement over a fellow lady. from that time on i just mind my own business. |

Cos most of those foreigners are crappy to get anything from their home and they need something to match them? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... |

I think you should not judge people just by their looks. I know a lot of plain-looking Filipinas but they are real angels on earth.
Would you feel better if women would judge men based on their looks too? |
|

Well

Maybe they need a new lens prescription.....lol.
My 2 cents into this is that what defines your "appearance" to others is not how you look but how you act in public.
1. A physically (face and everything else) attractive woman can come off as very unappealing if she acts arrogant/loud/exhibitionist/evil eye tosser/mata pobre/feeling pretty/etc--especially when they are with their non-Malay significant other. I suspect that's the type of woman and behavior being alluded to by some of the answerers above.
2. Conversely, there are physiologically "plain" women who, especially after a brief intelligent conversation and a warm smile/eye contact, can actually appear much more attractive than what societal norms may dictate.
Personally, I think my wife is very attractive inside and out and does not fit either of the classifications above (or why would I have married her, duh), but I would hope that the foreigners who marry pinays do not feel like they are knowingly settling into a relationship with type #1 above. No good can come out of that in the long term for either of you.
Use your head, the one above your neck, that is. |

I too have pondered over the same question. I have spent many hours in the Malls and have seen the same as you. When I have come back to Australia I see the same. I cannot figure it out why..................oops sorry I mis-read your question. I thought you were asking "why hot looking exotic Filipina's were married to crappy looking Filipino's. My mistake.
I have spent many days in the Philippines over the years and during that time have seen many a Ya-Ya who is drop-dead gorgeous.
Are you in any way related to the journalist that recently bagged the OFW's or will that be your next line of questioning.
Back to your question. You and the negative answerer's certainly don't have much respect for Filipina's in general.
Every person whether they be 'crappy' looking or not has the right to be happy.
In a perfect world all men would be an ADONIS and women would be HELEN but this world certainly is not perfect. Everything boils down to the fact that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and more often than not what's inside is more important than what's outside. |

Because most of the time they don't look at the outside appearance. They chose these Filipinas because of their personality, kindness, the way they take care of their family and having a good heart. |

Not only does your question intrigue me, sir, but your name as well. To my knowledge, Brother Printer had been phased out years ago. Brader? My mistake. I do apologize.
Back to your question. Calling my country women "crappy" is malicious, sir, to say the list. The term degrades. Would you want people to say bad words against the printer you are named after? I would be the first to defend that brand, sir. It is a dependable brand, always true. Are you as dependable and as true?
Also, the question tend to elicit the most passionate of responses, from either side. A racial slur brings out the worst in men, detrimental to the community.
But I have mellowed down, somewhat, and shall not call for an ABS-CBN broadcast against you, sir. Instead, I will be civil and say it is wrong to pass a conclusion based only on what you saw at a mall.
And to take this opportunity to praise everyone who said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
The word "beauty" alone counters so much hurt in the world.

Maybe after 10-15 years of marriage they start to fall apart. I married a real good looker, but after 7 years she's starting to put on a little weight... But the same thing happened to my American wife years ago. |

Hahahah! What a thought provoking question!... lols.
Those crappy looking Pinays maybe beautiful to the eyes of their non-pinoy partners.
I think the reason why we see them crappy is that the way they dress and act in public doesnt match their real personality. They seem to pretend classy while in fact they look funny in their barbie dress and colorful concrete looking make up.
This crappy little creatures maybe think that because they are with their foreign partners, they must act and dress like foreign which in reality they look more like an alien.
Crappy looking men and crappy looking women truly exist: Pinay and Pinay, Pinay and non-Pinoy, Pinoy and non-Pinay, non-Pinay and non-Pinoy... |

they dont look crappy to these foreigners, they think they found the most beautiful girl in the world, and there's nothing wrong with their eyes.you're just jealous... |

Many of these foreigners only marry so that they will have access to our local rescources. Marrying a filipina will allow them to invest, buy properties and own businesses. |

And what makes you think foreigners marry only "crappy looking" Filipinas? |
|

hot looking pinays are not in dire needs so they don't gamble with their lives, unless this pinays have known this whites while in decent jobs, they won't be fooled by mere good looks and financial status. |
|

? viena ?
 |
because they see the real filipina inside the "crappy looking" . that's why most of them wants filipina because of our attitude if they marry what you call "hot looking exotic filipinas" it's just the same as they pick a woman from their country :) who are more crapping looking than a yaya. |
|

They are the jealous type. They don't want other men looking at their wives. |

it takes two to tango. this is also the reason why i married a hot looking filipina than a crappy looking western woman. |

I have noticed some of that too. I have also noticed that these foreigners you speak of are the older gentlemen from other countries, as in guys in their fifties or forties, with a not-so-pretty twenty-something girl.
And I sadly speculate that this may be because the not-so-pretty girls are the only ones who would really go through such lengths (marry a much older guy). The "hot" ones would of course prefer to pick another "hot" male specimen for a partner. And you never know, but these not-so-pretty girls may incidentally have the intellectual and emotional traints that the foreigner is looking for. After all, you could never discount the truest possibility of real love. ^_^ |

Because the crappy looking "old maids" nobody wants.
Besides when you 60 plus a 40 yo Philippina looks real ggod. |

Of course, Filipino males like me will marry the best looking Filipinas first and leave all those crappy ones to the foreign guys. Papatalo ba naman kami ( you can not out smart Filipino guys!!!) |
