To be successful at dating a Filipina lady, you have to know what her ideal man is. The great news is that most Filipinas aren’t picky when it comes to potential partners. Filipinas have very specific characteristics they’d want in a man, just like every other woman, but there are traits that are “negotiable” and there are ones that are “non-negotiable”. Negotiable ones can include looks, age, nationality, manner of dressing or speaking, and post-relationship status (like widower or divorcee). A Filipina lady cares less about these things.

The “non-negotiable” ones, however, these are the preferences or traits that you need to take note of if you want to date women from the Philippines:

Being Family-oriented

A Filipina lady will find a man very attractive if he is family-oriented. To Filipinos, in general, having a partner with this kind of trait ensures that their future family will be intact, strong and close. This is non-negotiable because, as with most Asians, it’s a natural characteristic for Filipinos to identify with family. Why do you think a lot of Asians have very intricate genealogy records and consistent family reunions? It’s because family is very important to them. If you’re already family-oriented, love to spend time with your parents, love to barbecue with your family on the weekends and love playing with kids, you already have a point!

Financially Stable

Did your eyebrows just raise? It’s not what you’re thinking. A Filipina lady will be more likely attracted to someone who is financially stable because of the sense of security. It’s less about having material things or money to burn, but it’s more about a person being financially responsible to ensure that the future will be better. Everybody wants for their children’s future and future lives to be better. So, it’s not so much about being rich, but being financially responsible.

The Good Stuff

Now let’s talk about this: the good stuff. Every woman wants a man who treats her right. A Filipina lady is no different. The good stuff here would mean that her ideal man needs to be caring, loving, gentle and so on. That is very important to a Filipina lady because she always wants to feel that she is loved and important. Being romantic is not always needed, but it would be nice from time to time. What’s essential though is that a Filipina lady feels like she’s secure in your relationship.

Respect for Elders

That is another Asian trait that’s non-negotiable for future partners to have. Aside from being family-oriented, a Filipina lady finds it very attractive for a man to have the utmost respect for the elderly. Kind words, putting the needs of elders first, giving up a seat for the elderly and so on – these can earn you major points with a Filipina lady. That will make her think that you are polite and well-mannered.

Of course, all of these traits cannot be faked. You can do so for a period, but eventually, your true colors will emerge that can’t be good to the relationship if your true colors are the opposite of the traits listed here. Sincerity, honesty, and truthfulness are big things in any relationship so if you don’t have these yet, try to develop these qualities if you want to successfully date Filipina women.
