So what are the options for a middle aged American man? With their beautiful smiles and gentle personalities, Filipino women are proving popular with western men wanting a long lasting marriage. Filipino wives are renown for being caring, but dating a girl from another culture does come with a completely new set of rules. They key to understanding her is to understand the environment she grew up in. If you had to use one word to describe your Filipino girl, it would be delikadesa.
Delikadesa always reminds me of the word ‘delicate’ when I read it and it’s not that far from the real meaning. Delikadesa is a Spanish noun meaning finesse, diplomacy and discretion. Filipino women are raised in an environment where you respect other people and a strong sense of family.
Delikadesa means that a Filipino girl will make a fantastic wife for you -
Quiet Personality
A true Filipino women has a quiet and demure personality. This above all else makes them attractive to American men as a life long partner. Where they were use to argumentative and stubborn women they find their new partners prefer not to quarrel or argue. They fear criticism, are polite and speak in hushed tones. Overall, this gives a quiet personality and a refined character.
Family Over Money
The most common reason for divorce in the United States is money. It is not necessarily money issues that cause the divorce, but what the money (and not having it) means to the husband or wife. Ask yourself this question – did money create a strain in your last relationship? Perhaps it was not having enough money to go on holidays or overdue bills? To Filipino women, the concept of family is more important than money. This is a culture where an average earner brings home just $2 or $3 per hour. Your wife may have been raised a poor family home where a close knit family is considered the key to a happy life and personal wealth. This is where she learns delikadesa.
Monogamy Over Infidelity
Closely behind financial strain as a reason for divorce in the U.S. is infidelity. Losing trust in your partner places a severe strain on any marriage. A true Filipino women however values family and her marriage. The marriage breakdown rate in the Philippines is one of the lowest in the world. Your wife was raised believing marriage is a life long commitment. Filipino-American marriages have proven to be very successful, with several happy husbands reporting that their wives are very faithful.
A Beautiful Wife
The Philippines spent 300 years as a Spanish colony up until revolution in 1896. The Spanish may be long gone, but their legacy remains. Many towns have Spanish names and the architecture in the older buildings is unmistakable. But for you, the most important legacy is the mixing of the Spanish blood lines with the Filipino population. The result is a Eurasian look that is uniquely Filipino. Filipino women can be considered some of the most beautiful in the world. For proof of this, look no further than Angela Perez Baraquio who took out the Miss USA title in 2001. Angela might be a US citizen, but was born in Hawaii to her Philippine parents living in Hawaii.
