To All Filipino-born Women: Is America Still Considered The Land Of Opportunity?

There are thousands of Filipino women who migrate to America every year and they got surprised about life in this country. So, is America still considered the land of opportunity? I am writing this article to explain whether or not the US is still the great country as its nickname had previously. If you are one of those Filipino-born ladies seeking men in the US or planning to migrate here, then you should read this article to understand about it.

Previously, the nickname “the land of opportunity” that Filipinas, Hispanic, European and African immigrants called the US is because it can provide many life options, including money earning, career choice, education, fresh air, clean food, and etc, that they didn’t have in their home nations. However, there are some barriers that these immigrants don’t know is the language which has become the main factor, making it hard to their success in the United States of America. Unless you speak and write English well, you will have problems to obtain your successful life in this country.

Most Filipino women don’t understand about life in the US look like. They might have heard many Filipino American men show off their rich materials when they come back to their home country in the Philippines. These guys worked very hard to earn money and save it, then go back to their home town, tell young ladies about fairy tails in their lifestyle in America, make these ladies misunderstood about the US. I’ve been living in America for 20 years so I know exactly how my parents worked hard to take care of me and my siblings. It is not easy, ladies, you have to work so hard to make a living in this country. I remember by the time I was still in the Philippines. My parents could ask a home builder to build a small house that suits our budget. In the US, we can’t just build a house like we did in the Philippines. Every house must meet the zoning and development standards.

Another thing is that most of your professional degrees you have in the Philippines are not accepted in America. You have to go back to school and get a Bachelor or Master degree in this country. I will conclude that America’s nickname “the land of opportunity” is still suitable because I don’t see if there is any other country that suits better for this nickname. However, back in the 1980s, 1990, 2000, most Filipino immigrants could make an easier living in America. Nowadays, most immigrants must work harder but earn less than what they had previously. I think because the numbers of immigrants come to the US are increasing in the last decade, most people have hard time to make a living here.

America is still considered the land of opportunity for many Filipino millionaires and billionaires who want to invest in real estate and other businesses like restaurants, supermarkets, gas station and so on. Most Filipino investors can start a new business in America easily and safety without going through the costly and lengthy process like they do in the Philippines. For instance, when you open a new company in Philippines, you have to give the “envelop of money” or special “gifts” to local officials to get the paperwork go through easily. When your company is running, you must continue giving the “envelop of money” to your local officials as well.

There are many Filipino ladies at our dating site have asked me about whether or not they should come to the US with their husbands they have met at this site. As mentioned above, I think America, in 2015, still considered its nickname as the land of opportunity, but most newcomers must work harder to be successful. Don’t believe all words about Filipino men in the US said, including Chinese American, Filipino American, Korean American, Vietnamese American, Thai American, Indian American, because what they said are the advantages they went through. There are some people who have had some barriers when making a living in the US.

English is the language you need to know. I think Filipino, Russian, and other Western immigrants have no problems with speaking English. Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai immigrants usually have problems with English. If you don’t know English well enough, then it is hard to find a job here, unless you work in restaurant or supermarket that you can speak your language.

It is hard to get a Bachelor degree in the US. As you know, you must know English to attend the community colleges. English is the most important factor to determine whether or not you are successful in this country. Money is not about the issue. You can apply for financial aid to pay for your college tuition.

I suggest you go to college and earn a degree to make good money. It is easy to find a professional job if you have a Bachelor (BS) degree. The salary for a professional with a BS degree is about $45,000 per year (new graduate) and may be $100,000 per year (with 10 years working experience). However, if you work in a supermarket or restaurant, then you may get about $15,000 per year for starting and $20,000 per year after 10 years. Do you see the difference?

So, I hope I listed some important tips about life in the US. It is not what you think it is. This is the truth. If you dream of marry a single man in the US, then you should sign up a profile at our dating site. Most Filipino women who have come to America would adapt to the American lifestyle, so can you. In 2015, I personally think America is still the land of opportunity for Philippines immigrants. Good luck!

Filipino Americans (Fil-Ams) Men That Filipina Ladies Want To Marry

Filipino American men are those who born or became naturalized in the United States. There are differences between the fresh Filipinos who just migrated to the US and those who have been living in the US for a long time. If you look at a new Filipino, then you know he just came here based on the clothes he wears (tsinelas, etc.) or the food he eats as well as the heavily Spanish thick accent they speak English. However, it is the culture in the Philippines that  he carries over and that’s good. So, American born Filipinos and those who have been her since the young age are weighted higher than the fresh Philippines people.

Who do the Filipino women back home want to marry?

Do they have a chance to pick?

They don’t, really. Of course, most of single women in the Philippines prefer to marry American born Filipino men. The goal to marry a Pinoy is to come to the US to work and/or expand their business, make good money, establish a great future for themselves and their kids. So, they have no option. I have to tell that most Filipino Americans born here or been her since the young age, they are Americanized. They don’t even know about the traditional culture values of the local people in the Philippines.

The woman in the Philippines prefers to marry newbie Filipino American men because they want to share cultural values, of course, if they have an option. Most of Filipina ladies who are in search of American-born Filipino guys or native Americans are for citizenship. You can argue with me about this but most of them have poor living conditions and want to move out of the Philippines to make money. Their goal is to get out of there, migrate to the US, work and make money to help their parents and siblings. There are other reasons that single ladies from the Philippines marry Filipino Americans.

You can see at our Filipino online dating site here, there are some not-poor Filipino ladies posting their profiles to find single men in the United States. They want to migrate to the US for a business opportunities, fresh air, gender freedom, good and clean food, and excellent school for their kids later on. So, they are not seeking the opportunity to get their foot on the US soil and then leave their husbands once they got the green card (permanent resident). No, that’s not the only reason for those middle or rich-class who are looking for Filipino American husbands. Some people say that Filipinos/Filipinas born in US are not Filipinos at all, this is wrong, they are Filipinos.

There are Pinays who don’t completely understand about Filipino men in the US. What they have seen or heard is from friends, TV and media. There are some things else they need to actually be here in the US to understand about that. For example, the Filipina ladies don’t understand about credit card or mortgage debt that most Pinoys do. In the United States, most people have credit card or mortgage debt and it is normal. As soon as you pay for these debts monthly, you are fine. Even millionaire people have debts as well. However, most people back home don’t have debt. In fact, they can’t lend money if they are poor. They can’t use credit card or buy a house without fully pay for it. So, make sure you guys, Filipino Americans don’t mention about those debts or you must explain clearly about that.

Don’t listen to what others say about Filipina ladies leaving you after they became a permanent resident of the US. Only a few of them leave their husbands for someone else because of dishonesty from the husbands. I suggest you tell the truth about life in America before you marry her. If you are a cleaner and earn 70,000 pesos a month or you work as a software engineer and make 400,000 a month, then tell her about that. Don’t try to “show off” too much about US lifestyle. When she comes to America, she will find out the truth.

In conclusion, the Filipino American men that local single women in the Philippines like to marry are those who were American born or raised in the US as well as those who just migrated to this country. Of course, they don’t have an option to select. You are a Filipino man who lives in the US, no matter who old you are, you can get married with a beautiful and young Pinay back home.

What do women in Philippines think about Filipino American Men?

Filipino American people who live in the United States are more than 1% of the population of this great nation. Pilipino Amerikano are Filipino people who have been American-Naturalized or born in the U.S. They are the second largest Asian group after Chinese Americans (according to Wilipedia). They are also called Fil-Ams or Pinoy for short. Most of them reside in the state of California (San Diego county). Within this 1% of the U.S. population, there are millions of Filipino American men. They are either single or married. They either married with white girls or Filipino American girls (Pinay).

What do local women in the Philippines think about Filipino American men?

I am a Filipino American man. I was at the Philippines last year. I met with two girls that I found through a dating site. I was surprised about how local girls treat me. Wherever I go, they knew me as a Fil-Ams. However, to tell you a truth but sad, they love white old guys more than Fil-Ams. They thought white men are rich so they want to get rich by marrying them.

I’ve dated two girls at the same time. It was amazing. I had a good time. It was my honor to visit the Philippines last years. It was different from 10 years ago. They were very caring and nice to me. I was treated with more respects than local men. I’ve got all attention from local girls. I felt great. So, I was thinking whether they really loved me or just because I am a Fil-Ams who live in a great country like U.S.

The question is till unanswered. However, I love the Philippines and my culture. It’ve changed. I love the Filipino ladies there because they are sweet compared with Filipino American girls who are pursuing the opportunity to marry a white man. I am not that young anymore but I can marry a girl who is younger than me for 25 years. It is worth it to travel to this country to have fun. I love it and will go back. Most of them find Filipino American guys through the Filipino dating online service.
