This is a rather interesting question. Most foreign men say that it is their traditional upbringing that attracts them the most. Traditional has a very broad definition, so let’s explore what they mean when they say traditional. 1. Filipinas are family oriented In Filipino culture, family is everything. You grow up being taught that family is a priority. And this translates to when Filipinas become wives and have their own families. They tend to devote their lives to making sure their families are safe and happy.2. Filipinas are true to their vow of “til death do us part” Filipinas take the lead when it comes to being caring. In Western cultures, the old and sick spouses are usually put in nursing homes or old people's institutions.If your wife is Filipina, this doesn’t happen. They are absolutely hands-on when it comes to taking care of their partners. Filipino people are natural “carers,” as evidenced by the number of Filipinos in the medical and nursing profession. 3. Filipinas are adaptable They either grow up in the rural provinces or the city, but can adapt to either environment. The Philippines is a rapidly developing country and it waits for no one. Filipinas are well adjusted and they tend to thrive in unfamiliar environments. This makes moving to a different country much easier.4. Filipinas are accommodating Note that I did not use the word “submissive”, as in reality Filipinas aren’t even close to it at all. Instead, Filipinas are accommodating in the sense that they are considerate and accommodating when they need to be. But when they know that they’re on the right, they will stand their ground.Feisty? Not really. Spirited, absolutely.5. Filipinas can build and take care of a home No, it doesn’t mean she can pick up a hammer and literally build a house from the ground up. Instead, this means that she builds the structure of the family. Not only that, they are excellent in keeping a home in order, both physically and figuratively.They are the rock that the family stands upon. In my opinion, it’s these things that reflect the real nature of Filipinas. I mean, why else would foreign men go through all the trouble of flying thousands of miles just to meet these women, right?*Photo from Unsplash

Every person is unique, so these are ONLY generalizations. Most likely, couples have a reason they got attracted to each other that’s not on this list. Having traditional feminine qualities. I will probably get flak for saying this, but many “foreign” men (i.e. non-Filipino) especially Western men, get attracted to Filipinas and other Asian women because they are perceived to retain virtues traditionally associated with women. These may be seen as lacking in modern American (and other Western) women.Being loyal to one’s family. Filipinas can and do make sacrifices for their families, and they DO (usually) consider their husbands as the head of the family. How easily do you find that in the West? And yes, there are those who interpret that as inferiority, submissiveness and weakness.Unafraid to be playful, friendly and at times, flirty. I think in American society, people are so guarded (wary of being charged with harassment or of treating others as sex objects?) that they are too scared to flirt with the opposite sex most of the time. It’s scary even to pay someone a compliment for their looks. Filipinas have an innocence and openness that is so refreshing to foreign men. That doesn’t mean we will sleep with the first white guy they see; it is just a friendly curiosity.Being hospitable, patient, spiritual, giving, kind, etc. The list goes on. Maybe it comes in part from growing up in a poor country. We are used to suffering and helping one another.Self-effacing sense of humor .We like to laugh and tell jokes ALL the time. Why? It’s seen us through the hardest of times, that’s why. And we’re easygoing by nature.By the way, the idea of Filipinas all being sex kittens is mere fantasy. It is simply not true. However I can say that we are unashamed of our sexual nature and we do enjoy the ability to please the men we love. We do not apologize for being feminine, or for feeling good when others admire us. I think that is another reason why foreigners are attracted to Asian women. Also, traditional Filipinas are not “weak” or “mindless servants” (this is so hilarious) as anyone married to one would tell you. Traditional Filipina women are some of the strongest, wisest women there are. A man who goes to marry a Filipina with that sort of expectation is going to be in for a surprise. LOL No, I’m not bragging that my people are perfect. Oh, I could come up with a list of our own flaws. But that wasn’t part of your question. Hope this helps.
