Younger Unrealistic Expectations

One thing that's interesting about reading this sub is that people seem to have the same problems over and over again. I know a lot of them are probably trolls but I suspect many of them are not. What really sticks out is how younger people really seem to lack social skills and have ridiculous expectations when it comes to dating.

Exhibit A: I constantly see posts from young men asking to meet other young men on the internet? Really? If you want to make friends you go out and join a group of likeminded individuals or share a common goal (for example Magic the Gathering or something) and boom you're on your way to building connections. Seriously, Filipinos are the easiest Asians to make friends with--because they speak English and are friendly.

Exhibit B: Completely unrealistic dating standards. I notice a lot of young men seem to want beautiful intelligent women who will do what he says and ask for nothing in return. LOL! I see young women who expect a rich young white man to swoop in and solve all their financial problems, but at the same time let her define the parameters of the relationship. Both things are completely nonsensical.

When it comes to dating, you’re dealing with another human being with thoughts, feelings, and desires. Filipinas may be less direct than Western women, but they’re still women. They don’t think like us, and they never will. Yes, foreigners typically have more money than the average Filipino man, but with that money comes a different set of expectations and cultural norms than you’re used to.

Exhibit C: Yes, in places like BGC/Makati you can find some beautiful professional self-sustaining women but most of those gals aren't interested in foreigners as they can get educated self-sustaining Filipino men. Older men don't seem to have a problem helping out their wife's family while young men seem to be offended by the very idea. Most of the Filipinas who go for western men are in the lower echelons of society. In their minds you helping out their family is a given regardless of your age. If you don't want to or can't afford to do this then you have no business trying to date a Filipina.

And let’s be real: The further she is out of your league, the more likely money is a huge factor in the relationship. That’s just how it works.

P.S. I'm speaking to my fellow passport bros here; not the highly skilled foreign workers who are in Makati to help PLDT deploy their new Fibr system.
