Here are some commendable traits of Filipino guys that most women are looking for in a man.
Traits of being caring
a) Most Filipino guys are very caring to women. They do not let them carry heavy loads. They don't want to see women do heavy works that men usually do like splitting wood, carrying heavy boxes, transporting heavy things, etc. Cooking, washing, cleaning and caring for the kids are the woman's main work but still the men help them in doing these.This is one of the reasons why some Filipino ladies are so dependent to men when it comes to manly works at home. They are totally helpless when men are not around. In this, situation they have good reasons to give back the love and care for their man to keep them come home all the time and do the heavy job for them.
b) When Filipino men and women walk on the street, men walk at the danger side. They are always concern of the woman's safety. Other women commented that Filipino guys are true gentlemen. Women are safe when they are with the true gentlemen.
c) When they will be riding, the men will always open the door for women and let them get into the vehicle first, Some ladies do not like to be treated this way because this is too much but to others, they considered it as special treatment they really would like to have. It is good to feel like a princess once in a while.
d) In the Philippines, people usually commute. They usually ride a Jeepney or bus. When passengers come down from the vehicle, men will go first and help the woman down by holding her hands to make her feel secure with her move.
e) When they come to eat In a restaurant, men will pull the chair for a woman to sit , let her select her order then the men will be the one to wait in the long line to pay and get their orders. The woman will just sit down comfortably and wait like a princess, for the food to be served.
f) In the passenger jeeps, buses or trains, men usually give their seats to the women who are standing specially to old women and pregnant women.
There are some men who just ignore women who are uncomfortable in buses and Jeepneys but most are very gentlemen. Men feel like insulted seeing women standing in an uncomfortable position while they are very comfortable in their seats.
They pay respect to Women
Most men value the opinion of women specially husbands to their wives. Most of them do not make any decision without letting their woman know about it.
They will share it to them first and ask their opinion about certain things before making the final decision. That's cool!!!
Most Filipino men respect the woman in public. They don't want to embarrass them. There are some women who flirts with men but the most common reaction of Filipino men even if they don't like the woman is to show kindness to them. A real trait of a true gentleman. They avoid harsh treatment to hurt women even if they don't like them they are still kind. This is why some women misunderstood this treatment as love and care. One indication that a man is interested in a woman is he will really pursue the woman he likes. If they don't make any move aside from just being good and kind to a woman, it can be considered as merely friendship, nothing more than that.
Money handling
Most Filipino husbands, remit their income to their wives. There are some who don't but maybe 10 percent only in general who are not giving their salary to their wives. Of course both of them will sit down and make a budget but the money keeper is the wife. She is the treasurer who knows where the money goes and how they family spent for it. She is the in-charge of the household needs so, she has to guard the money spending with the support of her husband.
In general, Filipino men are responsible husbands. They always look for the good of their household. They are concerned of the needs, happiness and safety of their family. They will do everything to provide good life to them. They are a loving husband and a responsible father.

This is an insult to filipinos. Not a compliment. If you don't understand what I'm talking about by reading this article. You deserve to be called one of these unattractive filipinos with these desirable "TRAITS" LOL.
This entire article is about how these men see women as weak and feel the need to always "protect" them from the world.
"Filipino" is such a loose term. Even "Filipinos" don't care for much definition of what makes them a man. Certainly, this article irked me enough to say it's blatantly stereotypical and doesn't address the fact that islander males are just like any other males on this planet.....we're here to procreate. Plus, I consider myself islander in particular traits...like my handsomeness. This guy has utilized a different tact to get girls. I don't have that problem..but I'm also "Filipino". Hmmmmm. =(. Redefinition is in need of this tired term. Or let's just get rid of it and go old school. Call me Ilocano-American. That way, I can be normal...like boisterous...like MILF....like better in mind and spirit.
I absolutely thank you for posing this because I'm a Filipino. But the question is do all women appreciate our good traits? I have a Korean ex-girlfriend, and I don't think she did appreciate my love and care for her. She broke-up with me the day I saw her with a guy of her same race.
but definitely not all
4) Elaborating on the Filipino guys you say, you didn't cover the flipside of their personality: sure they are sweet, loving and chivalrous but they also expect a lot out of their woman; they expect them to be good babysitters, good cooks and they also expect them to be very loyal to the point of being possessive and envious.
5) A Filipino guy is more than likely to treat a non-Filipino girl differently especially if the guy is a traditional Filipino like you describe. Why? Because there is that air of unfamiliarity. It's like how we act more politely at work than we do at home because we don't want to offend people we aren't 100% familiar with.
6) You're right about most women not being attracted to Filipino guys physically; but the reason many are attracted is because many Filipinos are very westernized and act less stereotypically "Asian" than their Asian counterparts (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese etc)
I'm starting to believe the people all commenting here are made up of two guys making multiple accounts.
1) Nurture vs nature: a Filipino guy who grows up in a predominantly American cultured society will most likely NOT fit the description above - which is why many Filipinos consider Filipino-Americans to be "mayabang" (arrogant) and condescending even towards their own kind
2) Not all women adore kindly traits like that; in fact, the reason MANY (and I mean MANY) Filipino women don't like Filipino guys is because they act like that; they are too sweet and loving and can become "doormats" (they can walk all over them) for women
3) Was this article written 20 years ago? Because coming home to the Philippines every 3 years or so, I can't help but notice most people there are rude and uncaring; no, they do not offer their seats to women, they do not help them off the buses, they do not cross on the danger side; maybe some will, but definitely not
This is very true. I have dated a few different races, white, spanish well and white. They were all the complete opposite to what a man should be, very mean and aggressive in ways. I met a Filipino guy and he is exactly all of what is mentioned above. Never in my life have I been treated so amazingly. Great article, I think all men should learn from Filipinos.
This is so true about my man who is a Filipino! He has every trait mentioned here and I laughed when I read it, how true that is! He is the sweetest man I've ever met! It's good to know that they are all like that. Good news to the pinays!
awsome :p im filipino guessin why these girls like me :P no because im not handsome o_o
thank you for posting this article it is all true. I am also a filipino =)
