Filipinas (women who are of Filipino decent and/or women who were born and raised in the Philippines) have a very distinct nature to them which makes them ideal matches for foreign men. Filipinas are caring – they’ll take good care of you. Filipinas are hard working – you need not worry about the house being clean or the bills being paid. Filipinas have the Asian motherly instinct – she will take care and guard your children like a lioness. In short, Filipina’s are ideal life partners.

Despite this, some do have their short comings; don’t get us wrong. For one, you shouldn’t even try to get on a Filipina’s bad side because..oh boy! You do not want to find out.

In order for you to avoid this, you should be very careful not to do these 5 things while you’re still on your dating phase:

1. Do Not Insult the Philippines

In general, Filipinos are proud people. They’re proud of anything that has the Filipino mark on it or anyone that has, even, half a Filipino’s blood running through their veins. It’s just the way it is!

Having known this fact, be very careful with what you say during conversations. You have to be aware of topics that might cause you to argue – sports, politics (although politics in the Philippines is not something that they can be proud of), religion and even food. The trick is not to say anything offensive about the Philippines – easy peasy!

2. Do Not Insult Her Family Values

Remember when we said that Filipinas will guard their children like a lioness guards her cubs? It’s the same thing with her family and her family values. For example, she appreciates time with her family and questioning her about why she spends too much time hanging out with her kin is not a good way to go.

3. Do Not Tease Her About Intimacy

Other countries may be very open when it comes to their physical relationships but, in the Philippines, it is different. Filipinas tend to be more conservative. Kissing and telling is not really their thing so teasing a Filipina or forcing her to divulge her seemingly adventurous physical exploits is a NO-NO – a  big NO-NO.

4. Do Not Undermine Her

Please take note, dear reader, that there are Filipinas who have not reached the college level in education but this does not mean that they are anything less of a person. If you do want to date a Filipina or continue dating a Filipina, do not patronize her when it comes to topics that she is not familiar with or even comment on how bad her accent is. You’re dealing with a very strong willed woman who’s probably more street smart than you, remember that.

5. Do Not Comment on Her Appetite

This might sound a little strange but it is true. Filipinas love to eat, they love food and so, by extension, they also love to eat. You may find yourself dating someone who eats tiny bites on a first date but give it time. As soon as a Filipina feels comfortable around you, the eating and the appetite will follow.
