Are you are a smart, interesting, capable man and still not able to find your significant other? You have tried the usual activities of finding a dream mate in malls, cafes and singles bars, and feel like you are just a wasting your time.  Well, you don’t have to despair – there are many charming, young, sincere and single girls out there who are anxious to share friendship and the bliss of marriage with you, and these are Filipinas.  You may say – Why a Filipina bride? Because, they are also seriously looking for a man like you! A man who wants a ‘life partner’.

The women from Philippines are referred to as Filipinas, and also as Pilipino and Filipino girls. Filipino women are basically very polite, reserved and shy women, especially when they meet a man for the first time.   Filipino women are increasing becoming the choice of many American men for marriage these days. Most Filipino women are much more familiar with American culture than other Asians. Many of the women in other Asian countries such as China, Thailand, Korea, Japan, etc, do not speak much English, which makes communication very difficult at best.  As for the beauty of Filipina girls, we feel they are unequalled in all of South East Asia.

Filipino girls are very sensitive in nature and the western man must be aware of this and adjust accordingly.  They are also very humble and modest. If you make any promises, you should keep your words because Filipinas take it quite seriously. Filipino girls are very different from western girls.  They are very satisfied with a modest and simple life style, they are not materialistic. When you start dating these girls you will literally be shocked to find out the contrast with dating western girls.

It is true that many young Filipina women are willing to marry older men from western countries for financial security.  There is nothing wrong with marrying a young beautiful Filipina girl, but you have make sure you love her too. You should find a beautiful Filipino girl that you are compatible.  Exchanging emails, chatting on phone or on webcam and SMS messages, can help you to filter some girls.  But before you decide which girl to marry, you must visit Philippines and meet the girl and spend some quality time with her and her other family member, trying to understand her upbringing and her culture to find out whether she would be compatible with you.

Many Filipino girls have a heart of gold.  They are also loving, very sweet, romantic, and really loyal to the man they love. Once you manage to gain the love and respect of a Filipina girl, you should consider yourself very lucky to win a Filipina Heart. Wish you good luck in finding your Filipino woman for marriage.

As a webmaster of a Filipina online dating site, I often get emails asking me how to identify Filipina scammers. Well, it is not very straightforward to tell from a profile of Filipina girl in any online dating site to know whether she is a scammer or not.  When a scammer joins a dating site, she would not put in her profile, “hi, I’m joining this site so I can scam you for money”.  Only after such girls try to scam other members who report to us that they were scammed, we would know their true motives.

To begin with, when you sign up for any Filipina dating site with the intention to meet   Filipina girls, there is always a risk associated that the profile may not be genuine and you could be scammed.  There are some people who put a profile with attractive picture of girls, but they are actually scammers who will can do every possible thing to extract money from you. You must have listened to stories about foreigners, either boyfriends or fiances being cheated by Filipina girls for money.

Tips for spotting Filipina Scammers

You can avoid falling into this trap by taking few precautions.  Here are some tips which I would like to share with you.  These tips will help you identify Filipina dating scams.  I don’t give you any guarantee; you have to use your own judgment in spotting the Filipina scammers.

1. Avoid Money Talks : Money is the key thing involved in a scam.  As you become friendly with a girl, if she sends direct or indirect messages about how hard her life is, or she has stopped education because of financial problems, or her mother needs hospitalization or that she does not have money to pay for renting the Internet cafe– the chances are high that the girl is looking for money from you.  Remember – never send money to any girl you are getting to know.  Money should not be a topic of discussion during the getting to know each other stage.  You should reserve major financial decisions only when the relationship is beyond the initial stages and is heading towards marriage.

Once you start the process of  sending her money, you would be surprised to see how quickly her monetary needs increase.  You would soon land up paying for her examination fees, medicine for her father, tuition fees , medical check up of mother, repairs on their house, house rent, money for her sister’s marriage, or for buying the hottest model of laptop or mobile phone in a way to  communicate with you at all times.

2. Never Hurry in Relationship : Time is your companion in judging scammers.  Most scammers have their main goal to get money and so don’t like spending much time in exchanging a lot of emails.  They want to extract as much money as possible in the short span of  time . So they would never go for long courtships, or discuss in details about their likes, dislikes, personality, aspirations etc.  So, if a Filipino girl says that she is in  love with you just after the exchange of few emails, and also writes about her genuine love for you and how desperate she is to meet you then, you should be watchful. She may start calling you honey, sweetheart, lover, etc, within a few emails without even taking any efforts to know you.  She will also mention about  immigration, passports, visa and the expenses involved in this process, be careful in dealing with her.

3. Use Webcam chat : Some times the girls with attractive pictures are in reality guys, gays, lady-boys, old women, or ex-prostitutes who are in need of money. So if a girl says,  she does not have a phone or do not want you to call her or does not want to show her face on webcam or tries to hide from you in some other way, chances are very high that she is a scammer.  During chat sessions, usage of webcam is a good way see girl and know her genuineness. You should watch her facial expression and body language while she chats with you. You can also confirm that the person chatting with you is the same person in the photo of her profile.

4: Copy/Paste letters : Standard template letters or emails are usually another sign to identify scammers. If an email seems like it could have been copied and pasted to send to anyone, and it is not relevant to your reply, you should get that as a warning.  If they are not addressing you by your name, or write irrelevant information when replying to your email, you should be careful.

The above mentioned facts are not all but just the part of scamming technique which may be a helping hand to all those who need some genuine guidance.  Having said that I would also like to mention here one more fact which is, there are no perfect rules when it comes to courtship or love.  Ultimately, common sense comes handy and you should decide – yourself what is right and what is wrong for you.  Fast food mentality should not be applied for finding true love.  It took almost a year for me and my wife to understand our relationship status.

The only relief is that compared to genuine Filipina girls the percentage of  scammers is less. There are many Filipina girls who sign up Filipina dating sites to actually find their future partner.  The thumb rule is to follow your instincts. If something appears to be fishy then avoid getting in to that relationship.  At the same time, don’t allow few rotten apples  to stop you from finding your happiness online. Use your common sense and be alert while dealing with any online relationship to avoid unpleasant surprises.
