  I have lived in the boonies with my Filipina wife and our family for the past 4 +years. We own property, have a business and a decent income. We came here from HK, where we lived well, but chose to live a life with less stress, here in the Philippines with our family. We have no budget because we don&apos;t need one, &nbsp;since our income exceeds our expenditure. The kids are in education and are doing ok. We take domestic and overseas trips and have a happy life with one another.

  You are right. The more cautious girls are harder to get but they are the good ones

  He is right about the real gem of a Filipina. They won’t approach you because we are supposed to be that way…… if they do, they are probably desperate! Take it slow, you will know if you stay there for a while. If you found one &nbsp;gem, you have a loyal partner FOR LIFE. I am a Filipina living in the US for 29 years.

  Philippines is not a perfect country, but you are absolutely right we are welcoming people. I live in Vancouver and it’s so expensive here.

  The reason why women in the Philippines are wary of dating is because culturally it is a huge social step. Dating in the Philippines is different than it is in the west. &nbsp;The act of meeting a man in public for a potential romantic relationship is basically the woman announcing to the world that she is interested in you. &nbsp;That is a big deal for women in the cities, imagine how huge a deal that is in the provinces and smaller towns where everybody knows her. A woman trying to be discreet does not mean she is trying to scam you. She&apos;s trying to protect herself in case things down work out.

  If you&apos;re respectful, Filipinos will love you. It&apos;s simple!

  It&apos;s the same all over the world: if they&apos;re fast and loose they are fast to lose.....

  Very, very well said Chad about the front-line girls. All the other bloggers telling guys the foreigner is the prize is nonsense. &nbsp;They are the prize only to the low-value front line girls. The truly very good, high value girls are the big prize for a foreigner, consider yourself lucky to get one, you better be a high value person yourself to get one.

  I believe people from the US have a slight edge with the PI. Our ancestors fought in the war with them plus the PI was a US colony. They really appreciate the liberation that happened and they are taught that in school. Beautiful country and beautiful people, among the friendliest people in the world!:)
