Commonsense advice & information for men interested in meeting & marrying a girl from the Philippines


What is this site about? It is a website specifically for Australians which explains the wonderful aspects of marriage between Filipinas (Filipino ladies are referred to as "Filipinas") and "western" men, presented as a source of useful information to help men avoid the mistakes that mainly come from a lack of understanding of a unique Asian culture. Knowledge is power. And knowledge can mean the difference between disappointment and hurt, and a very fulfilling and bright future.

filipina filipino girls for australian men looking for a beautiful asian wife in philippines

The site is written for Australian men, and always from that perspective.

And please note that this is NOT a marriage service or introduction agency. We cannot and will not find partners for anybody. We only offer advice.

But this is not a simple process. Marriage should be marriage-for-life, therefore this should be the biggest decision you'll ever make. You're choosing your life-partner, and you've chosen for your own reasons to search in a different country and in a culture that's very different from your own. Armed with the right knowledge, this should be the adventure of your life. And the reward can be great.

many pretty girls in the philippines especially in manila and other areas of the philippines like cebu city in cebu or davao in mindanao. A site for helping you to meet your filipina wife (or filipino wife) from the Philippines and how to learn to understand each other. Full of useful advice from an experienced perspective. Safe advice from a RMA Registered Migration Agent, unlike the many online migration advice giving advice and discussion groups and immigration forums.

And as you should intend this to be a marriage for life, make this a lifelong study. I still get confused, and I still fall into some of the same ol' traps, and no doubt you will to. So read, and reflect. TALK to your wife, and LISTEN. Talk and listen with others who have been there before. Read informed books on the subject. The reward will be a happier married life that can only get better with increased knowledge combined with good intentions.

I hope that through this site I can share some of the things I've learned, and if you choose to go down the same path, I hope I can help you to make a great and informed decision for yourself. And I hope I can help you to avoid some of the mistakes and pitfalls that come from a lack of knowledge and experience.

we don't use the term mail order bride or mail-order-bride as there is no such thing, and to filipinas it is a very offensive term. We approach the topic of relationships between filipina girls and australian men with respect and reverence. We help you to overcome the cross-cultural differences and cross-cultural misunderstandings that can occur when an australian man meets a filipina lady. Reliable and trustworthy advice that you will not find in those migrate to australia forums and advice pages

Disclaimer

Let it be known and let it be clear that we deplore any thoughts, words, attitudes or concepts of "mail order brides", and we also deplore the exploitation of Filipina women through prostitution or any of it's "acceptable" forms where poor girls are bought and rented in bars and brothels by men from richer countries. We believe in love and marriage and relationships between two people on equal footing who respect each other and do not use, abuse or exploit each other.



Hi Jeff This is the site that came up on a google search and was how I made the first approach to you. There were many other sites that I looked at and read articles from, but your site gave me a sense of warmth and trust, because I had experienced most of what you talk about. It was because of this that made me think this guy knows what it is all about and he would be a good choice to help me and Greaselie. I think the site is full of very useful ideas and information. I have been involved with the country and it's people for some five years now and I still find myself learning new things all the time. Reading through the articles that you have sometimes brings a smile to my face in as much as I have experienced most of it first hand and before I had read anything about what happens there, especially from a westerners eyes. In the early days there was a lot of thoughts of, why the hell would someone want to do it that way, but as you have said, it's a learning curve both ways, and I feel a richer person by adopting these attitudes. Thanks for your help so far, it's been a pleasure to meet you and Mila.
