Pea makes her case for why Filipinas are an unmatched total package as life partners, going well beyond physical beauty to catalog twelve specific qualities she says make Filipino women irresistible to men worldwide. She delivers the list with characteristic humor and self-awareness, while acknowledging that Filipinas have faults too.
What's Covered β
Physical beauty as the entry point
- Filipinas are overrepresented in international beauty pageants β four Miss Universe wins
- Typically petite, golden-skinned, and very feminine, which makes them attractive to "most of the male population around the world"
- But physical beauty is "only the first step"
Reason 1: We're always happy
- Filipinas in their "default state" are almost always smiling and happy
- Glass-half-full people who'd rather be optimistic than complain
- Pea's example: staying positive "even when the power goes out for the third time that day and water is dripping out of what used to be your freezer compartment"
Reason 2: We're cuddle machines
- If not hugging you or holding hands, "we're not at maximum happiness"
- May be shy in public, but in private expect to be "surgically attached to your body"
- The moment you're out of sight, missing you starts β expect texts and calls letting you know
Reason 3: We're loyal
- "Once we're with you, we're with you" β divorce or annulment isn't something Filipinas contemplate
- They work to fix problems rather than leave
- Counterintuitive point: a Filipina is less likely to leave if you develop a serious illness β "that just kicks us into caregiver mode"
- "You're not likely to get rid of us that easily"
Reason 4: We age well
- Notoriously hard to guess a Filipina's age β "even when we're 50, we look 35"
- Finds this amazing considering "all the rice and fried food we eat"
- The upside: "no matter how old we get, we always look younger than you"
Reason 5: We undervalue ourselves
- Filipinas consistently think they're not worthy of your attention, regardless of how gorgeous or educated they are
- Stay humble and convinced they need to work hard to keep you interested
- "There aren't many narcissistic divas here" β no rotten entitled attitudes
- Pea frames this as a refreshing change after "what many of you guys have already been through"
Reason 6: We're musical
- Filipinas are "about the most musical creatures on earth"
- Expect singing first thing in the morning, while cooking dinner, in the shower, and as they sing you to sleep
- "There's no escape" β unless you're deaf, "a Filipina will charm you with her voice as she steals your heart"
Reason 7: We're easy to please
- No need for adrenaline-fueled getaways or expensive gifts
- "We're used to having nothing" β a day walking around the park holding hands is adventure enough
- Not picky about clothing brands, movie choices, or restaurants: "If you ask us where we want to go out to eat, you're gonna hear the famous response: 'whatever you want'"
- "We're easy peasy β but not Japanesey"
Reason 8: It's our nature to nurture
- Points to hospital staff worldwide as evidence β "it's probably full of Filipinas"
- "Kindness is in our DNA"
- They instinctively know when you need a foot massage or pillow fluffed
- Will remember that the chili peppers they love give you heartburn, so you'll never find them in your food
- "We were born to take care of the people around us"
Reason 9: We're traditional
- Old-fashioned sense of values and gender roles, family-oriented
- You don't have to worry about her "suddenly ditching everything, including the marriage, to pursue a career that requires 80 hours a week"
- They don't mind being in the home, usually enjoy the housewife role
- "You'll find that we can be the glue you need to hold everything together"
Reason 10: We got your back (the Honey Badger)
- Compares Filipinas to honey badgers β known for toughness and ferocity, doesn't go looking for trouble but will destroy anything that threatens what's hers
- If someone says something bad about you, "get ready for a savage counter-attack"
- A normally quiet, shy Filipina will "suddenly transform into a seven-headed monster of mythical proportions just to defend you"
- Pea's one-liner: "If you don't want to see the honey badger, don't badger her, honey"
Reason 11: We're ready in 10
- Unlike women who spend an hour on hair and makeup for a five-minute trip to the 7-Eleven
- Most Filipinas wear little to no makeup; long straight hair only needs "30 seconds with a brush"
- Observation: there's usually only one or two mirrors in an entire Filipino home β "we're not obsessed with how we look, and our love affairs are with you, not our mirrors"
Reason 12: We're 100% women
- "All the qualities that define femininity can be found in Filipinas"
- Not aggressive, not loud and opinionated, don't prefer short hair and tattoos, "definitely don't want to wear the pants in the family"
- Pea looked up the characteristics of femininity and found: sweet, sensitive, supportive, gentle, modest, humble, tender, devoted, and affectionate
- "If there's a better description of your average Filipina, I don't know what it is"
Closing
- Acknowledges Filipinas have faults and flaws, and she's been honest about those in other videos
- "On the whole, you won't find a better life partner anywhere on the planet"
- That's why so many men "travel so far to find us β and in this case, there really is treasure at the end of the rainbow"
- Once you find the right one, "you can look into our eyes and see that you're our world, and it's a world we're thrilled to live in"
