The Different Kinds Of Filipinas You Will Meet

Meeting a Filipina is never a dull moment. If you have ever had Filipino colleagues, you are probably aware of that too.

A lot of people seem to think that Filipinas are timid, submissive, and so on. It's a well-known stereotype since most of them are generally polite by nature and are super friendly. But don’t let that fool you.

Since people are not one-dimensional, don’t stick to the stereotype. This is especially true for Filipinas, who aren’t just polite or friendly. There are different types of Filipino women out there. Wooing one will depend on which kind of Filipina you are trying to date.

Here’s how we’re going to do it.

Below are the different kinds of Filipinas you will meet and how you can successfully approach them.

1. The One Who Knows What She Wants

We will refer to her as The Boss. They are Filipinas that have their goals meticulously planned out. They are goal-oriented, think about their future with meticulousness, and are very focused on their careers. Whether it’s at school or at work, these women put a lot of effort into what they are doing.

They are the kinds of girls who won’t settle for any kind of man. They loathe those who need to be babied and looked after. They will settle for a life partner that is on equal footing as them.

• How to woo The Boss - being straightforward is the best course of action here. You need to be unwavering in your decision to date this girl too because if she sees any sign of you second-guessing, she will drop you. She needs someone serious about being in a relationship. She has no time for fooling around.

So ask her out and be a gentleman. If you like what you see then take action.

2. The Conservative One

This Filipina is a wonderful person in every way. She's courteous, well-mannered, and a devout Catholic.

She doesn't use social media much and doesn't have a very busy social life. She's the type who enjoys spending time with her family and close friends. Everyone admires her, and she appears to be a genuinely good person.

• How to woo The Conservative One - this one needs patience. Take your time courting her because she’s a special one. Conservative Filipinas date with the intent of finding a lifetime partner, so it won’t be easy winning her over.

What’s more, these kinds of Filipinas often have close family ties. You would have to earn her family’s respect above anything else. If you manage to get her family’s support and approval, it would be much easier for you to pursue her.

3. The Outgoing One

Filipina socialites are never left out when it comes to having a good time. They're always there for any important occasion, whether it's a birthday party for a distant relative or a fiesta in faraway places. They always have someplace to go and people to be with on weekends.

These ladies have an ongoing list of restaurants and other amazing places that they've personally been to and will recommend you. You can count on them to be the life of the party, so don't be surprised if you end up singing karaoke with them.

• How to woo The Outgoing One - be prepared to meet different kinds of people when you’re with an outgoing Filipina. She is the type to be friends with anyone. In fact, she might as well know everyone. The kinds of parties she will be attending are bound to be hosted by her relatives and close friends, so expect to meet them along the way.

Be a team player. If you can show her how easily you can get along with the people close to her heart, you’ll find yourself a spot in there as well.

4. The Reliable One

This is the girl with the street smarts. She is down to earth, realistic and frugal with her expenses. If you need to buy some high-quality items at a low price, she’s got you covered. Bargaining is also a talent she perfected so you can expect a good deal when you’re out with her.

They don't seem to be interested in anything that costs more than the regular price - it's all about practicality for them. And when it comes to due dates and bills, they will never be a day late. Responsibility is their thing. Being able to take care of themselves properly is also one of their top priorities.

• How to woo The Reliable One - it’s going to be a little challenging when you’re trying to select a gift for her. Their frugal nature is the difficult part here. But if you give her something useful, then you should be alright.

We suggest a small kitchen appliance that she doesn't have but needs. Girls like her hate living in clutter. If she thinks it’s useless then she might dispose of it.

Treat her whenever you go out on dates instead of squandering money on tangible things. The money you spend is nothing in comparison to the memories you will create together. The gesture will be much appreciated by a practical Filipina.

Dating and Marriage in the Philippines

Let’s set some expectations before you actually go on and court a Filipina. In the Philippines, dating comes in stages and it always starts with courtship.

Typically, a man will try to impress a female by courting her. If the woman considers the man to be a good suitor, they will continue dating.

Know that while they have a significant level of freedom when it comes to their choice in marriage, most – if not all – of it will be influenced by their family’s preferences. In some families, it is expected for the prospective partner to gain the approval of their potential in-laws. However, in urban areas, dating and marriage practices tend to be less conservative and are becoming more influenced by the West.

Also, know that expectations and practices for marriage are all heavily influenced by the Catholic Church.

Courting a Filipina

While dating a Filipina is a wonderful experience, it is not without its challenges. Filipino women are kind, but they aren't easily fooled by males with ulterior motives. They're quite adept at seeing red flags.

The path to winning a Filipina all lies in how you play the game. The way you play the game determines whether or not you win a Filipina. You must prove yourself worthy of her attention, regardless of whether you have a flashy car or a handsome face.
