Having dated latinas in the USA for 15 yrs, many or most from Mexico, and South America, I agree. Having spent 3 months in the phils this year i think the differences are as follows:
By the way before you read this........
Hopefully the guys from the latin board who read our board
wont go through the roof and start a War, like they have in the past when i post my views on the differences., Hey latin lover guys, to each his own, who cares if we Prefer Filipinas, if you dont like it, dont read our board.
Latinas From South of the Border
1)Dont speak english, for the most part, how can you get to know a girl from thousands of miles away, in a short time
when you cant understand each other, I speak passable spanish but as Don discovered, passable is not sufficient.
2)Put too much emphasis on clothes, money, etc
3)Much more temperamental and more likely to have a verbal altercation, if
they disagree with you, including shouting, insulting, throwing things.
Filipinas
1)More Playful, easy going
2)speak english
3)Somewhat shy but this disappears somewhat after the initial get to know you stage but remains always to a degree that makes me think they are charming.
4)Much more eager to please the man, let the man be himself, and not
compete with the man, on an emotional level.
5)Much less confrontational and less eager to engage in a verbal altercation when they dont get their way.They tend to be silent, pout, or hmpt you. I like this more laid back approach.
5.5) Less critical of the man in general , more likely to let the man be who he is, instead of tring to change him, or have him try to live up to what they think he should be
6)Much less picky of the mans clothes, Money, career, and Looks, . Even though i consider myself attractive and i make good money at my job, I dont want a woman who is with me because iM handsome or because Im financially successful.
You would be much more likely to find a pinay accept a man who is not good looking in a traditional sense,
They are more likely to look inside the heart, not at the outside appearance, or the bank statement .
7)Very happy to just be with a man who treats them well, etc etc
8)They are just so darn Loveable
Ok there You have it
God Bless The Philippines
