No wonder Western men are headed to the Philippines in droves.
Filipinas, alas, are hip to American ways of doing things. They understand how to marry an American man who becomes prosperous and they can leave him and strip him of possessions and get his paycheck just as well as an American woman. They are less apt to do it than that American woman but more so than others. Vietnamese and Thai women have not progressed so far yet. They are Marriage Olympics gold.
Yes, I did that, and I am glad I did. My Filipina wife is a blessing to me. 😀
I think there are some stereotypes about Philippine women, that are probably not true, but they value their marriage and family above all.
“No wonder Western men are headed to the Philippines in droves.”
I don’t know about the Philippines, but in my community and nearby there are several white men still married to their first wife - and she is not American.
I see Chinese, Taiwanese, Peruvian/Brazilian, one from Equador, and Mexican.
Top reasons: the attitude of foreign women. They don’t come to the marriage with a chip on their shoulder or see their husbands as an adversary.
Almost without exception, the divorced or thriced married females are downright MISERABLE - constantly on war footing. Yet they double down on the very thing that’s making them so unhappy.
