If you told your friends 10 years ago you had met your wifeover the internet, you would have got some very strange stares.  And if you told them you are dating a Filipino girl who lives in Manilla you have not actually seen face to face yet, then that person would look horrified as they slowly backed away from you.

In the late 1990′s, dating online was something you kept secret for fear of some light humiliation from your friends and family.  Fortunately, times have changed.  Online dating has gotten over its troubled beginnings and is now a widely accepted way of meeting your partner.  In fact, more than one in three marriages for couples under the age of 35 started by meeting their partner on the net.

But there will always be some resistance to change, especially when marrying a person from another country.  If you are cemented in your negative beliefs about dating a Filipino girl, then lets see if we we can bust a few of those dating myths.

Myth: Dating Filipino Girls Online Is Only For Geeks

Fact: The term ‘geek’ use to apply to someone who was good with computers when they were just being introduced into society.  When computers had 4K of memory and tape drives, you use to turn to your geek friends for help when it stopped working.   Fast forward a quarter of a century and computers are mainstream.  You probably have more processing power in your phone today than your first computer did.  And think about how much you use your computer.  You use it at work to hire employees and and send email.  You send updates and photos to old school friends working overseas.  You book a holiday, movie or restaurant online.  You twitter, blog and checkout Facebook.  So why not meet someone online as well?

Myth: Dating a Filipina Girl Online Is Only For Desperate Men

Fact: Have you pulled your head out of the sand lately and looked at the state of the economy?  With so many companies moving overseas, a lot of people are working longer and harder to protect their job.  Meeting someone on the net is not desperate, it is time efficient.  If you are a man and go to a bar, then it might take 3 or 4 visits to your favorite spot to meet someone who gives you a real phone number and actually wants you to call.  If you are there for 3 or 4 hours each time, that’s 16 hours.  If you are cramming out 2 or 3 hours of overtime each day, who has the energy or time for this?  Joining a dating site, putting up a profile and contacting some interesting people will take about half an hour instead.

Myth: Dating A Filipino Girl Online Is Pointless – She Is Half A World Away

Fact: Surveys show that nearly 40% of single men online who are looking for a girlfriend join an Asian dating site.  Think about it, Asia is only half a day’s travel from the US and Europe.  Look around for holiday deals and you can often get to Manila cheaper than spending a couple of days in Los Angeles.  There is no real difference in dating a Filipino women as a long distance relationship to someone on the other side of your own country.

Intrigued about dating a Filipino girl?  Do you even know what a Filipino girl looks like or how attractive they really are?  Why not come and check out a few profiles – you don’t have to join to browse and it is completely anonymous if you just want to take a look.  And who knows, you might find someone who catches your eye.
