Why do Americans prefer not so pretty Filipina?

that is one thing i admire with Americans is that they don't go too much with looks but the inner self. that's also true with talent search, unlike in the Philippines, talent and looks should go together that's why lots of filipinos talents are given a break in other countries.

nice point janzai. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. but why are pinays first on the list for Americans when it comes to asian wives?

It's because they are Christians. They are God fearing. Family oriented.

I came across KanoFrazier007's comment.. and i commend him for that.. yes , we Filipinos are attractive as we are.. problem is, we are attracted to what's different from us, just like the American's white skin, pointy noses and that endless pursuit of money status.. though not all Filipinos .. but most of the Filipinos ... You may count me out of the list, but i believe it's due to the economic condition of our nation and that " trying to uplift the family's economic status" if married to an American or a foreigner is a big matter.. Much as we are aware of who enslaved our forebears many years ago, A COMFORTABLE LIFE is what most of the Filipinas are dreaming & wishing for.. TO EACH HIS OWN!! LUCKY for those Americans & other foreigners who came across Filipinas who eventually have learned to LOVE them.. may their LOVE last FOREVER!!

u only get what u deserve. :)

Yeah,I know there are some foreign guys happy married with Filipinas. There are always exceptions.That's great. Even I thought I were happy married but only until I realized the contrary. I must also say, my wife was influenced by other Filipinas here in Europe. But she was by far not only victim, she is definetely also culprit. If you would understand what these women talk in their Tagalog or Cebuano language you would get a different picture. They hatched a plot and it seems they had all big fun with that. The whole bunch were sitting together several afternoons a week (of course I was the taxi-driver...)for hatching a plot. Sopmetimes they shared their ideas via internet. That's why I could trace it sooner as they expected. Nice, isn't it? Don't say they are not after their husbands money. Mostly they are. If you live in the Philippines you should have a separation of property contract. Haha...but is must be signed and notarized before marriage in the Philippines, otherwise it's not valid by Philippine law. Another European, really poor guy, of course with no separation of property contract,he always thought to be happy married, decided to live in the Philippines after some years of marriage and invested all his money there. Terrible mistake! Soon after all the money was invested his wife changed completely. So they separated. The lot is hers anyway and about the house his wife just told him: Well, if you want half of the house just take it on your back and kiss off. He didn't...Without money he slept several weeks in his car until he found somebody who gave him a shelter.

Why do you compare each other?Is that a real big deal for you if a Filipina married a kano? Idiots!that's her decision and that's her freedom to choose a man and a life for her....Will you just focus on your life instead? RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT....That is what we all need..

I love Philipinos and they are not like american girls who's looking forward for a divorce after they get married.While Philipinos don't. I was married with an american before,when we got married after 2 years,she filed a divorce and SHE GOT ALL MY STUFF's which includes my car,my house and my MONEY.She left me NOTHING.A month later after the divorce i found out that she was engaged with an another rich american. I luckily got married with my beautiful wife (NATASHA) and a Philipina and she's awesome.And we still live together for almost 15 years now. Indeed,Philipinas are not after the money that we americans have.

i have american friends who prefer pinays just for fun. i also have another american friend who wants to marry a pinay. we are not talking of pretty girls around the globe getting married but on pinays. i just want to hear particular traits of a pinay why they are competitive with prettier women regardless of looks. i did not conclude it's not real love for all, i'm asking if it's so or something else.
