Placebo Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Upper class ladies from established family's will not in any way ever give you a second glance. I know that thats the truth in almost every country in SEA, even though many ppl deny it.. Anyways, Im wondering what the reasoning behind it is? Is it that a foreigner just lacks the social status which a local man from the uppercalls will have, what makes foreigner men not interesting for female locals who belong to the upperclass? Or what is it? The question for me still would be (and I think it was asked before) why do you want "upper class" (whatever the hell that is)? It's not an issue of why she might not want you so much as why you need her? Are you looking at it from a standpoint of her economic, political or social power and if so why? If you just have a notion that an upper class Pinay can be hot, well then you need to go to the Philippines first. Women from all the economic or social classes are hot there! Do you refer the question to me or is it general meant? If the former is the case, I have never stated that I want it and for sure not for the reasoning you would assume (feeling "bot wanted" - my self esteem is luckily high enough that I dont care bout it). However it has potentially some economical advantages..., though Im not sure about it... Anyways, for me its not too important, but just an intersting aspect... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what is it? It is not that they do not find foreign men interesting. They are intrigued by foreign men, but to some, there is a stigma attached to being with one. I know this will not go over well, but the upper class do not look up to the type of Filipinas that foreign men usually end up associating with. By dint of snobbery, they do not want to be seen in the same light as the others that that the foreigner may have liaised with. Now, if said foreign man had previously associated with only upper class women, he gains acceptance into their circles. Unless he proves to be a cad of course. And, if the Filipina happens to meet the man she marries while she is abroad, nobody gives it another thought. With the preponderance of foreign men and slim pickings among Filipinos, the choice is easy. Interesting point -think there might be lots of truth inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBubba Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I think you will find that the upper class in Manila are actually pretty westernized. They will have read the same books, watched the same movies, travelled abroad, and the list goes on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the upperclass in PhnomPenh where I live is already highly educated and pretty westernized to some extent... But yeah, anyways - I will not move to manila (maakti) , but to cebu city.... so will not find out about it too soon I guess - but would assume that youre right.

I only mentioned Manila because it is a city that I am familiar with, but by no means is it the only city where westernized Filipinos can be found.

From what I hear there are in most big cities in PI already many westernized Filipinos, which is in my opinion no big surprise at all... we`re living in a fast information-transfering world^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placebo Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Hey, only one last little aspect I want to share and throw in on this topic cause I had recently an intersting convo bout it and maybe it might interest someone. The thing is, even if you would have somehow the opportunity to connect with women from the upperclass (no matter if its something you should want or not), then you have to be aware of the fact that you have to extremely careful. At least in cambodia (regards to the khmer upperclass and in PI/thailand it should be totally the same), you rly want to be 100% sure that the woman a.) is not interacting in any romantic sense with a local from the upperclass b.) dont have any admirer who is a wealthy local with high social power... otherwise it might and will oftentimes get very dangerous, very fast... So in some way, for foreinger (no mattter how much money we have [the upperclass also has tons of money, so that is no interesting parameter to them], we for sure have like 0 social power and zero highquality connections...), it might be even safer to not connect with the upperclass too much, even when they would have somehow the access to it...
