Filipina girls?

"Shutup--*I'm* talking!!!



I've known quite a few Filipino women in connection with working for various law firms. My experience is that one does not fuck with them lightly, because although the sounds emanating from their general vicinity are musical and although they can be quite warm and friendly...

...they are quite astute and they take no shit.

A man who takes a Filipino bride thinking she's going to kowtow needs to think twice.

Honestly, I have never understood the mentality of men who want a kind of servant instead of a partner. I know they exist but I simply do not understand their thinking at all. To me it's completely over the top and that's why I laugh at it.

The one Filipina woman I have been around is brilliant. I have no idea how she compares to othe Filipia women, but I think she is absolutely wonderful to be around.

Exactly RL. My ex's ex is Filipino, and she's scary.

Throughout my life, I have had various close female friends who are Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Korean, etc. I know none, who are as you described. They are all incredibly intelligent and strong women. That old stereotype about "Asian" women being subservient is not true, not among the new generations. It's completely untrue of the Asian ladies, whom I've been close friends with in my lifetime.

When I looked at these girls on this thread, I wondered for a moment if my twin nieces, who are to be born this summer, will look similar. They will be half Peruvian (on my brother's side) and half Taiwanese (on his wife's side). Also, my brother's wife is 5'8", so they might be tall. The best part is that my brother and his wife are very down-to-earth, caring souls, although they are quite successful, intelligent people. (Both have genius-level IQs.) Those girls are going to have a very nice life with such loving parents, and an Aunt Ro who will love them, as if they were her own. :)

In college I actually did know a guy who was married to a traditional Asian woman and it was a trip. Whenever I called him at home and she answered the phone I struck by how little English she knew.

I asked him about that one time and he told me he kept her somewhat isolated and did *not* want her becoming Americanized. As he put it, "If I wanted an Americanized Asian woman, I would have just married an American." As I recall, she had been in the US about 10 years and barely knew enough English to answer the phone.

They had very defined gender roles in his household from what he told me. He was the provider and she did everything around the house and took care of all of his wants and needs.

This guy was not mean, domineering or a jerk at all, at least in my dealings with him and I was around him a lot. It just seemed a *very* strange kind of partnership that worked somehow.

I have no doubt that those women are bordering on extinction and I have no problem with that but that stereotype, while it may be little more than a myth these days, at one time certainly had some validity to it.

By definition, he was a mean, domineering jerk.

The fact that he intentionally kept her isolated is one of the biggest of all the flags of abuse.

It doesn't matter that she seemed to go along with it--what choice did she have? She was his prisoner.

I'm going to shut up now, because if I don't, I'll be taking a perfectly good thread to SC. But this is outrageous, and to characterize this guy and the relationship as anything less than abusive is insane.

Edited to add: The stereotype derives from something akin to Stockholm Syndrome.

Walt, we all know how things were way back when with the good ol' boys, but obviously, that wasn't what I was referring to in my post. How long ago was it that you knew these people? I remember you mentioning in a past post, that you're about 49, so you were in college about 30 years ago or so. Like I said in my post, among the new generations, it is not valid.

I would be interested to know what the nature of your friend's relationship is now, since things have changed so much in the past 30 years. I am 34, so the Asian women that I've met in my lifetime are of a totally different mindset.

PM me, if you'd like to talk about Peruvian food. I LOVE it! I've never had cuy (although my parents love it), but I love anticuchos, ceviche and much more. Pisco Sour is my favorite drink! B|

It was around 20 years ago.

I haven't kept in touch with him but you've got me curious too. And my more recent experience and, for that matter my experience with Asian women at the time, was really quite different than what I saw with my friend and his wife.

I really don't mean to stereotype or put down anyone.

Cool,have you been back often?



I was just there in December. My parents go every year, and they own a beach home in Miraflores. One of the reasons for the yearly trips is that my family heads much missionary/charity work, mostly for the children's hospital in Lima, Peru. On our last trip, my family had built (over the last 15 years) and opened up a pool for a small village's children in San Benito, Cajamarca. We also sponsored their high-school graduation class. It was very fulfilling!

I have decided to have a skydiving fundraiser late next year at Skydive Elsinore to raise more money for our non-profit charity organization called PAMS, and all of the money goes directly to the children in the children';s hospital in Peru. (PAMS also do missionary medical trips to Peru.) Anyway, I am very excited about this, but this skydiving/Peruvian fundraiser for 2007 is still in my initial conceptual stages. :)

I have a good friend that is filipino... she is a very sweet girl, quite bright (despite what she believes about herself...), and for Andy's sake (she's Catholic)... She really is an awesome young lady.

If you want to be really hip:

pinoy == filipino for "dude"
pinay == filipino for "chick"
(effectively)
I also know some tagalog vulgarities, but I'm a polite individual and won't share them here.

HAH.

I came across a website, no it's not porn;), that had a huge compilation of what they referred to as "Filipinas" or "Filipina girls." Now, I not the most educated man when it comes to this side of the world, but what exactly is a Filipina girl? Is it a girl from the Philipines, or some other similar country? Or is this like a slang term?

At any rate, are they all this amazingly beautiful? I mean, wow! Every girl on there was absolutely stunning! I am not sure even what the website was exactly, but I DO know that these women are among the most beautiful I have ever seen.
