Let’s balance the pros with the cons, shall we?

Most Filipinas are naturally loving and a relationship with one is going to be full of life and laughter. But, of course, this depends on how well you treat her. Filipinas are typically gentle, but we don’t like to be played and we know how to stand up for ourselves.

Filipinas have strong family values. This is great for men who are looking forward to having families of their own someday. But some men might not value close family ties. You’ll have to decide for yourself if that’s something that you want in life.

The Philippines is a culturally diverse country. This means that Filipinas are generally ready to adjust to any cultural differences you might have as a couple. The question is, will you be as open toward her culture as she will be toward yours?

Many Filipinas are optimistic and resilient. This is generally a pro. But she, too, will need you to help her be resilient from time to time. She’s only human, after all.

There are bound to be pros and cons no matter who you date. You need to understand for yourself what it is you’re looking for in a relationship and a partner. Equally important, you need to make sure that dating you will be more of a pro than a con for any woman who goes out with you.

Good luck!
