I have to respectfully add that, Philippines is not that shallow and many foreigners rarely give credit for the depth of REAL CULTURE it has...That is respecting another human being and Non-Judgmental attitude. The culture of India and China is merely one of scriptures , statues & palaces but not evolved in terms of being human.MarcosZeitola wrote:Jester wrote:
I've seen the fathers of the latest two Miss Philipines, and both were old and not particularly attractive men. Their mothers, too, were rather plain looking. If you are a tall and well-kept middle aged man, and you find yourself a pretty Filipina wife... that's almost a guarantee of having a future Miss Philippines for a daughter, or maybe an actor or even future senator for a son. There's no place on earth where a tall white man is appreciated more then the Philippines. Never was, never will be. And I cannot think of a better start in life for our sons and daughters, then in a place where the average member of the population is so short and dark, yet values white features and stature so highly. It's the place where you can be certain to grow old surrounded by a large and growing family, and where your genes and family name will live on forever if you play your cards right. No where else in the world, the Jester Clan I know you wish to establish would do so well.
Even though Philippines is poor, its developed than India. Here is what ordinary Filipinos Think about Indians in General.

One thing is certain, the only time the Philippines is considered an 'upgrade' by outsiders is when Indians come here to visit/work.
I've had Indians randomly approach me here in Toronto - two in the past year - just to share their experience in the Philippines, even saying that 'ang sarap ng buhay' there (one of them actually said those words to me in Tagalog). I'm just thinking to myself how nice of them to say such a thing. Another Indian said how badly he wanted to buy a condo there but became reluctant because he didn't know any locals.

Last month when I was on vacation at Shangri La Mactan, I was talking to one the employees and asked when was the last time this place was really busy and he said they had an Indian wedding that lasted two weeks.
Also when I was heading to Boracay I met Indians who were with a group friends that worked all over the place, also I met Indians that were living in Australia, Britain and the U.S.
Yes, there is large market for our Indian neighbors and they know how to party hard and they love Filipina babes!!

Indian's are slowly beginning to explore Philippines outside Thailand and if Visa is made more flexible ...high net worth Indian's would visit Philippines more and make it a primary destination.
Miss Philippines Universe Venus Raj had an Indian Father and she is not that fair yet very very popular in Philippines

Lets be honest here...Indian's are mostly universally hated for various reason's and are the least dateable kinds while in Philippines we get Judged the least that is why the love for Philippines.
Philippines is the only place where even Indians get accepted the next day and get least judged upon. Even Indian's feel like Kings in Philippines.

Its a mistake to judge Philippines purely on looks alone because as you mentioned..Its the best place to bring your Kids who would be born in an environment, where they learn how to respect elders, how to behave in public and be a socially responsible individual.... its an added bonus being born mixed with a white father which would open more opportunities for your kids in entertainment world.
Common, Winston wouldn't fall for Philippines if it was just based on superficial qualities. I think members here need more depth in their life's now that they have seen it all.
We could add that. Yes, Jester...Your Kids would be Actors and Miss Universe's of the world Yet at the end of the day, they would still love you and not abandon you to old age homes once they gain rich and fame. What you get is a strong family centered culture where your grand kids continue to love you no matter what....
I have lost count on number of times I have seen kids strolling in wheel chair their grand Pa's and Ma's across the Malls in Manila. I don't even see that in India anymore so called 5000 years of history
I believe, That is the true beauty and depth of Philippines that's need to be known to people who plan relocate to Philippines and marry a Filipina along with appreciation of white skin.
