why do Pinays

one personal attack removed. discuss the topic, not the posters.

Where I live Pinays marry Pinoys for the most part. Then the ones born here may marry other Filipinos, or other local or Asians next. It is rare to see a Pinay with a Haole here, unless they are in the military or Visayan. In the long run it does not matter, coz I am half Haole Japanese, or Hapa as we call it in Hawaii. I do admit that Hapa women are cute,hehe. I mean most of ABS-CBN is hapa,hehe.

Oo! And our child has light brown skin! Husband said my genes are stronger than his and I am proud of it!

My god daughter is a beauty, like her 100% Pinay sister, but at around five years old, she is already a head taller than all her friends in Baguio.

Thanks Lone Ranger!

And whoa to the OP starter of that new thread. That's just low. It's disappointing that it came from someone who claimed to be a well-rounded, educated woman. I don't know in some parts of the world but in our part of the world, educated people are expected to be not low like that. Also, in our English classes, we're also taught how to quote someone and still capture the essence of the message.

This is one of the downsides of having these regional subforums. There's less interacting with other VJ members that come from different parts of the world, with different viewpoints. I would encourage Fil/Am couples here to venture out into the Off Topic forum more, where you are going to be exposed to a more diverse group of people.

I was being sarcastic... Thanks though but if I may say so, I've been exposed to a more diverse group of people. I know for sure what's right and wrong. What's appropriate and what's not? What's low and high? How educated/uneducated people behave and talk, etc. I've met people from different countries, from different walks of life, the rich and the poor. It's not about being under-exposed or over exposed to a more diverse group of people. It's about ethics.

My point is that if there was more intermingling among members outside just their regions, it would help negate any festering hostility towards one group or another. This thread and some of the responses is a case in point. There are a lot of VJ members from other regions that have a tainted view of Filipinas in general. While this regional subforum provides a sort of cultural safe haven, the downside is that it can also breed contempt. That's why it would help if Fil/Am, particularly Filipinas, would venture out into the other forums, especially in Off Topic, to help dispel any misconceptions as well as diffuse any contempt.

Hmmm...That's good point. I might consider doing that especially if I have nothing better to do. Also, I don't think you can blame Filipinas, especially those who can't express themselves fully, if they want to remain in the regional forum because that's their comfort zone. They are already in their comfort zone and they can still be attacked by foreigners, how much more if it's in the OT where one wrong word will be made a big deal?

I understand that the cultural differences along with the language can create a lot of misunderstandings, so there's no blaming anyone.

I would say there's a lot more civil, friendly members who will read your posts and get to know you that way if you posted more outside this regional subforum. Yes, there's going to be rude people, but there are rules for this site and there are tools you can use to report when someone is violating those rules. Everyone here should feel free to express themselves. People may not agree with you and they may tell you in a blunt way, but you should never feel intimated by others here.

IMHO, Filipina's are only being attack if some of us is going to start talking or posting about how beautiful and best wife filipinas are lol. Never gonna blame Alot of other foreign women also on this site will gonna react. I believe every one have their own personality, It doesnt matter what country or culture where we came from. Coz everytime my husband telling me how lucky he was to have "me". (even takes lot of my energy to make him feel that way sometimes lol) . I'm taking that compliment only for my self coz of the person I am, not because that I'm a filipina .

Anyway, what Im trying to say.... Im not the best wife.... But I think I am good enough to be not that suck lol .

Ayan ganyan... tagalugin nyo na lang pag sinabi nyong magaganda filipina para wala na kasi gulo lol. Hay,,,,, Life !

[John&Juvy 36]

Hindi namin maintindihan kung ano ang sinusubukan mong sabihin!

Ibig nyang sabihin magpaka-humble na lang kasi kayo kung magaganda man tayo. Kasi syempre talagang mag re-react yung mga mapapanghing ibang mga babaeng member dito. To be honest lang ha.. Kakahiya naman kasi talaga sabihin nating filipina the best wife noh... no offense lang. Lalo na nung say nung isang member na kakasuka daw magbasa ng filipino thread.
