... in response to Goldiggers, posted by outwest on Mar 16, 2001To have a better understanding of a Pinay, let me give you some insights on what she would expect from someone professing love to her. For a young, not so educated Pinay coming from a poor family, she would be flattered if she is showered with gifts,& other material things which her family cannot provide. This is particularly true if her suitor is a foreigner. He is viewed as someone who can saved her from poverty and give her a better living condition. Moreover, if the young Pinay feels that you're TL na TL (true love) with her, sometimes she demands something like, gifts, money, etc. to test how much you love her and how far you will go for her. Sounds silly but Pinoy suitors also experience this like doing chores for the Pinay's family. However, for a mature, professional Pinay coming from a well-off family, ideally she takes her time to gauge your sincerity and truthfullness. Material things would not be a major factor in deciding to love a Kano. She would scrutinize your background, reasons for the divorce, how well she can adapt to changes in environment, culture, etc.before she decides to marry you. Although there are some who would consider a green card a plus factor or the only factor. At any rate, marrying a Pinay whether she is a 10 or a 3, disabled or normal, requires not only more time but also, emotional, financial, spiritual investment. Go slow and take your time, this way, both parties will avoid getting burned.
