im an 18 year old Filipino American and haven't been to the Philippines since I was a kid. Would it be hard to get a gf there compared to here? I mean I can girls in America but my titos always say I could get the hottest girls there but I don't know tagalog or fluent in my home dialect of Cebuano. I'm staying there for a month so idk. I know theres some pretty attractive Filpinas there and I guess it would be a good time to chill with them and get to know my culture better.

post your pic up

Considering that you're after a Filipina, you'd probably have to woo her with a guitar and soft singing.

uhm heres 2 pics i have. http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j284/Gui...current=jj2.jpg

I guess im pretty average looking but I have a pretty good personality just easy going funny guy who likes to have fun. but yea I was just wondering how the girls in the philippines are? thanks

Haha thats funny. I actually play guitar and sing.

That's two feet through the front door already.

ummm to be blunt i think the vast majority prefer pinoys born & raised in the philippines. you'll probably find you have nothing in common with anyone your age so you should aim for the older girls in their 20's if you're serious about getting a gf
cultural barrier man
you'll probably find you will prefer americna girls

well I know I do prefer American girls because I was raised in the US. all my life but yea I understand the cultural barriers since I don't know too much of Filipino culture/society other than my family but I guess im trying to learn a bit more before going.

So dating older women would be much easier in the philippines? I mean im only there for a month I guess im not looking for anything to serious just someone to chill with and have fun, show me around and what not.

hmmm i wouldnt have a clue whats easier but alot around our age act like 14-15 yr olds.. not very mature
you should try for early 20s

ya i hear ya man..cuz i dont speak much of it neither..but i do speak a little. i was born in hawaii bud pops from philippines..only gf's i had were black or spanish..no filipina I guess when your over there..be yourself.and if you have atleast one buddy..maybe he can show you around and youll be more comfortable etc. just my 2 cents..

yea I do have cousins a little older than me in Cebu but im not too close with so hopefully they can show me around. One of my Ex's was Filpina borned and raised here like me too. And recently I've been dating Viet chicks. So I guess its harder than it seems to get girls there afterall lol

Cebuanas like all Filipinas are pretty cool. Don't worry about the cultural barriers as Filipinos are quite Americanized. I suggest you go with a college girl(educated, most likely from a good family), you'd probably have to deal with her barkada, go karaoke, going to the beach or go hiking, clubbing, and malling in groups before you can have a one on one date with her.

Maybe it's because I was raised in the Philippines, but what I've noticed is that it's easier for me to tell if a Filipina likes me. American girls are more reserved and secretive, or I'm just really dense.

Dude just show them some American currency theyll mob you in groups

um, if you dunno how to speak any Philippine language then you'll have a hard time achieving your goal

my nephew met his wife in philippines and he couldn't speak the language. He played for one of those basketball leagues there

Just follow your heart and be a sincere and honest guy. We value honesty, integrity and personality more than any other characteristic whether be it material wealth, good looks, physical attraction or intellectual acumen.

My 5 cents of advice.

^^^^
a typical british chav answer.

Just don't act like a typical arrogant white American, drunk Aussie, loud Korean, intolerant Arab, ethnocentric Euro or speak in ebonics (don't act like a gangster, no one will be impressed). Girls who are attracted to these types are usually GROs.

Just act according to how you're used to greeting people. Be as natural as you can be and if girls love you for what you are, then you're in a comfortable spot.

Be polite specially to someone older than you. And don't be surprised or offended when somebody calls you kuya or manong. The Philippines has hierarchy. Don't call an apparently older person by his or her first name alone. You have to use "Kuya" or "Ate". Don't sit at the kabisera of a long table if it is not offered to you. It is usually reserved to the older ones. In a car, don't sit at the front seat next to the driver if you're with somebody older. Offer it to him or her first. If you're eating and somebody comes in, say "kain tayo" or in cebuano "kaon ta". Smile, smile smile, smile a lot. If they talk and laugh and you don't understand what they say, just smile and smile and smile. When you enter a house, take off your shoes, they will usually say to you, "no don't take them off", but insist in taking them off if you see others took off theirs. You may find it weird, but some girls may want to go out with you if they bring along a friend with them. Some girls will think that if you touch them, then you will not abandon them, so be clear from the start. Filipinos still value virginity in women and as much as possible keep it for the man they're going to marry, so if a girl is a virgin, and you have no plans of marrying her, then you might as well find somebody who's not. Good luck.

why not just pay for it, it's probably dirt cheap

I have Korean friends here in U.S. and they are nice. I met some Koreans in the Philippines too and they are generally nice people.

Lol thanks for the advice...but keep in mind im not completely oblivious to Filipino tradition. I already know about the respect part almost instinctively from growing up 18 years with a Filipino family, going to Filipino parties/events, and having a ton of close relatives and I even "bless" a lot of them most of the time. Im 1st generation so its not like that stuff just disappears, my parents brought all of that over..

Have you considered having charming Islander Pinays?

man i would so try to fish in that ocean in the background lol

Yes, advice here is more valuable than a bundle of dollars.

And on the second date they'll bring the whole barangay along with long lost family members to come along for a free meal on you. If that happens, bail and find another one.

One word... "Jolibee"

you should just be studying and getting your DEG so Study hard and just dont fool around with your tender age!!!! Hit Google and Type The Land of the philipines and u find Tons of reading materials about your cultures



Wat a loser

lol

i dun think so this chap is going to be sincere and honest when his d!ck landed in Phil! Look up at his topic,The thread starter stated ( Getting girls in the Philippines)

Let me add one thing... "Scandal"

Girls??? Are looking for a quick lay? it's not as easy as you think... don't rely too much on your tito's words.. he's probably a lo..ner too just like you. Getting the hottest girl here, just like any other girls around the world, requires a lot of patience, training, and years of experience.

i'm sure you lost you virginity in a whorehouse..

Yes I agree... experience, you have to praktis every morning imagining things because STD is "in" today so remember to always bring condom or antibiotics when you park the girl somewhere the bushes... and don't forget to leave her there with no witnesses because the police will request for some "kotong" if they catch you making love with a 15 years old
