I do not mean to offend anybody, I just want to ask this question because I am too curios about it. Don't get me wrong, I just want to know your opinion. Why are there some men who always think that women need only their money? why are there men who generalize that all Filipinas will ask for their money that's why they are socializing with them?

Maybe because they have experienced this from Filipinas. Somehow, it is through words of experience that make one nice or bad. Some says that Filipinas are great wife, because of loyalty and endless care to husband.
well ... sad but...

Men who think this way think very little of themselves. They think that because they have money that is why women flock around them and if they don't have any money, no women would befriend them.
It's dangerous to make such a generalization. It's offensive to women and it belittles the men.

I must admit that I have never heard that about Filipino women , I live in the UK and I don't think that we have many Filipino women over here. But you are right some people just love to stereo type people and its unfair Im sure this isn't true and that the Filipino women just love there men as normal I always hate it when people are judged in this way. In my country its a sterotype that all Irish people are stupid but I have lots of Irish friends and I know that there not stupid

It is so unfair to be generalized as one ! One sin can never be a sin of all ! If ever that happened , then it is just an isolated cases , not a hypocrisy , it really happened but they are doing it for their very personal reason which we also can't help .Most Filipinas have good intentions and have pure and sincere heart.

I hate those people who generalizes a thing well in fact, they just encountered it once. They are very judgmental. Not all Filipinas are like that. We have our own dignity. Please they must respect that. They are thinking that we are like that because they are taking them us for granted.

Women demanding for money is not a new thing,it vary from tribe to tribe and country to Country,it is not limited to Filipinas.Generally women are materialistics,because of their nature and complex biological make up,so they tend to want to demand much so as to meet up with their taste,it is for these reasons,women will prefer men that have the means to be their friend or husband as that means financial security.So if you do not hang around with men because of money,it then means you are different but you may not really know yourself,a woman needs a lot of money to maintain herself.So it is the duty of the man to work hard to provide.A woman who sees this asn issue is not serious about relationship

Perhaps they feel that a woman is more than likely to be supported by a man. Hopefully here in mylot more men will give a reply to your discussion. I think that it is a good thing for a woman to be able to support herself. I plan to better my savings so that I can do that.

Hello valorieesquilona,
It is very sad but true. Because some girls are need their boy friend's money. But some girls are not like that. So, it is a big problem for good girls.

I suppose that one of the reasons why men think this about women is because the media abounds with stories of beautiful young women marrying old rich men. Of course they may do this for other reasons than money, such as security,maturity,need of a father figure etc., but on the face of it the money seems the most attractive feature in the relationship.
Perhaps it isn't so terrible, if aging men find that young brides make them feel younger and still attractive why not? If the young bride finds a man who loves her for her looks and she in turn needs financial support then it is a kind of exchange, almost like a business arrangement.
I would not want to enter into this kind of arrangement, but I am a romantic and I am lucky enough to have a choice. If a woman's face is her fortune then she is going to use it while she can if an alternative independent life is not open to her.

i am a gentleman.
i am sorry to say my opinion,
but, this is the turth.
some of good boy with his good money lookingfor a goodgirl with a goodlove.
but,they just unlucky boy when they got a girlfriend and then they just feel no love in their girlfriend's heart.
so, good boy got a badgirl. Its the reason why some of man said that girls just want their money. But, if you a goodgirl they will said that:
'would you marry with me?'

Making money is not an easy thing, and in some countries is even more difficult. You have to hard work or learn a lot of things, you have to have a schedule, to wake up every morning etc.
So, if women see that they can find men to support them, they will go for it, if they don't have already a good job and their own money. Because it's easier and more rewarding. And it doesn't even exclude love. You can also love the man who gives you a living, don't necesarry have to choose.
And I'm sure that if this possibility will be available (not just as an exception) also for men, they will use it without a lot of thinking.
