I also thought about this. Still wondering though but not because it bothers me or I have anything against interracial marriages, just out of curiosity. :)

Mara’s last blog post..I am totally dazed and confused!

Actually, it’s the Filipino society that makes Filipino men undesirable. I am Filipina, and I had been involved with Filipino men before I married my American husband. I’m not saying all Filipino men are all the “undesirable”. Most Filipino men have the this attitude that because they’re men, they can do anything. And because they’re the head of the house and family, there’s nothing wrong if they womanize—because they’re men. And that men should have the final approval in every decision in the household.
According to my hubby and other American men married to women of other nationalities, I heard and read that American women are so independent, and too bent on to fight for their equality rights in the family–that American women demand so much and expect too much from men. Just because they’re women, they expect that they should be treated with all privileges . Well, that’s only what I heard and read—-those are not my opinions.

I apologize also but I must honestly say that the US gives lots of opportunities for Filipinas. Filipinas wanted to be secured with their financial status. Pinays want the greencard. If the Filipino is in the US, they are like honey for Pinays here in the Phils. Life here in Manila is hard and may women want the easy way out and that is to marry a foreigner. But there is always an exception for what I said, of course.

I think I take a different view personally. As an American woman and in a failed marriage over 10years ago, and trying to date since, it isn’t always stereotypical that we, women, are the issue in the relationship. Most men expect you to be as their mothers. They want their food and the household chores done. They expect it all without regard to our own feelings. After dating or successfully dating and thinking your relationship is going well, the American man tends to become lazy, indulgent, complacent and all around expects us to continue looking toned, energetic, doting on him and so on. It’s disgusting. Do I say all American men are thus? No, just all the men I’ve had the unfortunate ability to fall for who at first sight seem great men. Can the same be said for any man in any culture? Damn straight. Can the same be said for any woman in any culture? Heck yes!! What it comes down to is you have trash in any race and any gender. But don’t go around assuming all American women are as those posts in Helium (above link). It appears you only ever hear the negatives.

Personally I’m just like the women the men look for, but by golly, if he wants a slave to his house, no I’m not and most women out there shouldn’t be. It’s his house too and he has an expectation to help in it.
