“I’ve NEVER Had a HAPPY FAMILY” Filipinas Seek LOVE

Most Filipinas begin to dream of romantic connections early in their teenage years. Hopeless romantic Pinays love to imagine meeting their “prince charming” to save them from the difficulties of life in Cebu. When Filipino women mature and become more aware of life’s reality, many Pinays realize it may not be as easy to guaranty their match as they initially imagined.

Dating in the Philippines, Cebuanas meet Filipino men who often leave them hanging when the relationship gets deeper. It seems that Filipina women meet men who have a fear of commitment more often than expected when dating locally. With this in mind, Cebu women hope for a better option in love by dating foreign men.

Many Philippine women get introduced to foreign men through Western movies. In these movies, Filipina girls get the impression that foreign guys love to give a grand gesture for the one they love. As hopeless romantics, Filipinas love this. In a Filipina’s mind, such gestures take a lot of effort and commitment– the two things Pinays absolutely want in a man they spend their lifetime with.

As WMAF (Western Male Asian Female) relationships become more common in Cebu, many Pinays see dating beyond borders as the best way to find lasting love. While WMAF relationships may receive minimal criticism from people uninvolved with the couples, most Asian families are quite accepting of their new son in laws.

Having this idea on top of success stories from other Filipina foreigner couples, many Cebuanas gain hope in love. With the assistance of matchmaking agencies, Cebu women flock to speed dating events in order to be a foreign man’s Filipina pea.
