What are the Traits of a Filipino Girl?
Asia is a continent full of pretty women who would certainly be suitable for any man. However, Filipino women stand out from the crowd because of their beauty, inside and out. They have attractive traits which you would love.
I have compiled some of the typical traits present in women from the Philippines. They include:
- They are respectful - from my experience, as a relationship expert, I have seen firsthand how men crave respect from a woman. Therefore, if you are looking for a respectful lady, who respects her elders, parents, and husband, get yourself one from the Philippines. She will not disappoint you.
- Perseverant - in the Philippines, you rarely come across a divorced couple, unlike western countries where divorces are almost as common as weddings. Women from the Philippines do not give up on marriage. They will persevere through the thick and thin to realize a successful marriage.
- Selfless - over the years, I have known a few Filipino women and one common trait in all their personalities is that they are all selfless and put their needs last. They will sacrifice their happiness to see you flourish. I think this is an important aspect, which every thriving relationship has.
- Caring - unlike many women who only care for material things, Filipino women care deeply for their kin. They care for their families and also friends. Not only do they make excellent wives, but they also are good friends who care immensely and will worry for your well-being.
- Religious - most of the Filipino women I know are all Catholics. Some random fact you won't believe is true is that The Republic of the Philippines consists of over 80% Roman Catholics. Most girls are brought up in a church setting, which instills good morals and values in them. Thus, all the women are well-behaved and have a prosperous relationship with God.
- Committed - women in the Philippines stay committed to a course they believe in. They do not give up easily and will fight to attain their set goals. Whether it is a marriage or any other lifelong commitment, they will stay true to it because they believe it is correct. This trait is very rare to find these days.
What is it like to date a Filipino girl? Their values and dating culture
It is interesting to know that Filipino women are generally attracted to older men. In their upbringing, they are taught that with age, wisdom comes along. Therefore, the man should be well experienced and more mentally mature.
Filipino women are also conservative. That means they do not necessarily advertise their relationships in public.
In my view, this is because people cannot ruin what they do not know about. The relationship will therefore last longer because fewer people will try to come in and ruin the union.
Traditionally, during the courtship phase, women should not engage in any sexually intimate activities. Further, some courtships can last up to several years before marriage.
The 10 Important things to remember when dating a Filipino woman
Do not date a Filipino woman blindly. This can mean disaster to your new relationship. Therefore, I have compiled ten things you should never forget when dating a Filipino woman.
1. Always initiate the first move.
During the Spanish colonization period, Philippine natives learned common courtesy, including etiquette, courtship, and some societal rules. It only fitted for the man to introduce himself during that period and then ask the girl out.
The gentleman should always make the first move, and the woman will follow. Whether it is a date or anything else, the man should initiate the process.
2. Seek permission from her parents
Family is important to Filipino women. Hence, it would be best if you met her parents and other family members she cares about. You should then ask for permission to take her out, which will prove you can take care of her.
3. Meet her clan
I have seen how tight-knit the Filipino community is. Thus, do not be surprised to get a family beyond a mother, father, and children. Families are essential, and it would be wise to meet her entire family and get to know them.
4. Learn about PDA and other societal rules
As earlier stated, public display of affection is highly condemned. In the eyes of the older generation, that is disrespect. Courtship is thus conservative with minimal instances of intimacy.
5. Introduce her to your family
A typical Filipino woman views the family as an essential aspect of marriage life. It would please her to know about your family and cultural roots.
6. Centermost dates around food
Food has been an essential aspect of Filipino tradition. It marks several occasions as each one has its delicacy. Therefore, tickle your woman’s taste buds with different delicacies every so often.
7. Be respectful of her religion.
Religion is a defining factor for the citizens of the Philippines. Most of them are Roman Catholics, and showing respect to their religion will earn you favor. Religion is part of who she is; for that reason, be wary.
8. Take her to karaoke dates.
Karaoke is an integral part of her culture. Whenever you get the chance, take her to karaoke parties, and this will make her burst with happiness.
9. Bring her a souvenir from a trip.
Treats and souvenirs are well appreciated in the Philippines. If you are from a long trip, bring home a souvenir.
10. Serenade her
Filipino women like it when their lovers serenade them underneath their window, mostly at night. This practice is called Harana and is considered a romantic gesture.
Top 5 tips to get their attention and love
Here are some tips on how to woo your Filipino date.
- Be open with your emotions - always express what you truly feel. Women from the Philippines love a man who is always open and communicates well. That is an excellent trait to have when courting a Filipino lady.
- Put her first- Filipino women like to always be put first because they would do the same for you. Therefore, regardless of the situation, remember she is your priority. Treat her like so.
- Understand her love language - if she likes romantic gestures, do them as often as possible. For example, serenades are a great way to woo a Filipino woman. Hence, do this and other romantic gestures as often as you can.
- Lighten her load- always find ways to help take some load off her shoulders. If she needs a shoulder to cry on, be there and always help in any other way you can. Every woman needs this.
- Show her you are dependable- when you finally start dating, always come through for her and help her through difficult situations. Filipino women love a man who is reliable because, to them, a man is a provider. Thus, make sure you always aid financially, give guidance or offer any other assistance.
What to say when having a date with a Filipino girl
When you finally go on that date, ensure you are yourself. I have seen many first dates fall apart because the man pretends to be something he is not. Therefore, carry your natural personality, and this will win her over.
Further, do not dwell so much on your life; make more conversations about her, and this way, you will know her better. She will also be more comfortable around you.
Speak an appropriate language and do not incorporate sexual connotations because this may be a turn-off for her. In addition, praise her beauty and complement her dressing and makeup (if applicable).
Putting it together
Filipino women are among the most beautiful in Asia. They are well brought up in a Christian setting and are well-behaved. They value the concept of family, and it would be wise if you met hers, and she should also meet yours somewhere down the road.
Always to put her first, and this way, the relationship will last longer.
Furthermore, remember to observe PDA rules because they are essential in Philippine society. Remember to be compassionate and respectful of her religion because it is part of who she is.
