Qualities in Men Filipinas Look For

Filipinas are one of the most attractive women in the world.

They’re known for their hospitality and fun personalities, and it’s proven that they make good life partners. It’s understandable that many men, like yourself, would be interested in dating a Filipina. However, you just don’t know where to start.

Portrait of a woman

The solution to your problem is easy. You need to know what Filipinas looking for love want. They often look for specific qualities in men, so I’ve made a list to help you.

Here are a few qualities men should have before dating a Filipina.

Honesty

In the Philippines, having an affair is often romanticized to the point that it impacts the dating standards of most Filipinos. Now, being honest is a standard that women constantly enforce.

Filipinas may be friendly and hospitable, but they know when someone is taking advantage of them. Pro tip — never, ever underestimate a Filipino woman. If you do, the only hands you’re holding are your own, back at the airport.

Open communication and staying true to your word are signs Filipinas want to see from you. Just avoid lying in general and be truthful through your actions. If you’re being consistent with that, you won’t expect any trouble in your relationship.

Hardworking

Being hardworking in this context doesn’t mean working overtime at your company. When Filipinas say they want a hardworking man, they’re referring to a man who knows the division of labor.

If you work at a nine-to-five, Filipinas will only expect you to do the bare minimum around the house, like washing dishes or keeping things tidy. However, if she’s the one working, she will expect you to have done something other than sitting around the house.

The modern Filipina wants a partner who understands what’s going on in the paragraph above. They want someone who understands that not one person in the relationship should be doing all the work. Instead, both have to work equally hard.

Family-Oriented

If there’s anything more important than being honest, it's being family-oriented. That’s because almost everyone in the Philippines dates to marry. If that’s not an issue, you’ll need to prepare for something else — her family.

Her parents have a say in her decisions, especially about the man she wants to marry. The best thing you can do is try dating her family too. Get to know her parents, siblings, and even close relatives if you want to keep her.

If they like you, they’ll give you their blessing, and you can go on your merry way. If they don’t, it’s still her decision, but her family’s word weighs more than yours. Be patient because all good things come to those who wait.

Funny

Lastly, Filipinas don’t rely on looks anymore. It might give you bonus points, but they ultimately look at your personality. If you can make her laugh or genuinely smile, she’s already chosen you to be her partner.

However, I don’t want you to force your jokes. It might be the reason for her to lose interest in you. Let the humor come naturally, and be mindful of the timing. One tip I can tell you is to start with bad jokes to get the ball rolling.

Become Better

If you plan to date a Filipina, she’ll be looking for these specific qualities in men. You need to prepare before you go off trying to date the prettiest Filipina you can find. If you don’t possess these traits yet, work on them. There’s no better time than now to work on yourself to become better. Good luck!
