WHICH FOREIGNERS DO FILIPINAS WANT? Who Are We Looking For?

After a previous video where Pea asked foreign men what they look for in a Filipina, viewers requested the reverse: ask local Filipinas what kind of foreigner they'd actually want to date. Pea interviews five women of different ages and backgrounds on the streets, covering everything from race preferences and body type to deal-breakers, religion, and one very unexpected final question that made every interviewee blush.

Charmaine (23, computer engineering student) ​

• Open to dating foreigners of any race — wants to "explore" after only dating Filipino guys
• Would prefer to stay in the Philippines if she married a foreigner; would visit his country only for vacation
• Explicitly says she would NOT expect a foreign husband to support her family — she plans to sustain them herself once she graduates
• Prefers taller men (she's 4'9" so 5'6"–5'8" is tall to her), but specifically loves "fluffy" guys with belly — finds it cute to pinch
• Fine with bald men ("Mr. Clean? I would love to"), fine with tattoos (sees them as personal art), and loves facial hair because it looks "manly"
• Top three qualities: maturity, honesty, respect
• Red flags: men who are dependent on their parents, players
• Would NOT date an atheist — raised in a religious, family-oriented household — but doesn't care which specific religion (Buddhist, Muslim, Taoist, all fine as long as he believes in God)
• Flirting strategy: too shy for the first move — would just sit there, flip her hair, and stare until he approaches
• Message to foreign men: "Be honest with yourself, don't pretend to be someone you're not — size doesn't matter"

Chrisley (28) ​

• Open to foreigners, age is "just a number" — would date older
• Would NOT date a guy who's broke with no prospects ("He will be broke forever? No, that's a no-no")
• Would expect a foreign husband to support her family — says it's Filipino culture — but she'd support his family back home too ("vice versa")
• Estimates her family needs about 20 bucks a month (about 1,000 pesos) — Pea notes that's actually a very reasonable deal
• Likes men 5'6"–5'7" (doesn't need a basketball player), prefers "medium fluffy" body type — not six-packs, not a huge belly
• Does NOT like beards at all — finds facial hair irritating and itchy when kissing; no mustaches, no neck beards — wants clean-shaven
• Does NOT like bald men or tattoos — they're deal-breakers for her
• Flirting strategy: would walk near the guy confidently and say "hey, I see you"

Jean (29) ​

• Doesn't care about race, age, money status, or body type at all — "whether rich or poor or broke, it doesn't matter"
• Biggest deal-breaker: racism — specifically fears a man who would look down on her family for being Filipino/Asian
• Values intelligence and independence in foreigners — admires that Westerners learn to be self-sufficient and leave home at a young age, which she sees as a given positive trait
• Would date an atheist — says "everybody is not that religious religious"
• Flirting strategy: pretend to borrow his phone and put her number in it; or try a "nip slip"; but ultimately admits she'd probably just wait for him to make the first move

Runa May (27) ​

• Open to foreigners; age limit is about 60 — too old beyond that but respects women who are fine with it
• Welcomes all races but insists on getting to know someone before judging — wouldn't dismiss anyone based on appearance alone
• Would have an upfront conversation with a potential husband about family support — discloses she gives 10% of her income to her family and would want him to accept that, while also being open to supporting his family
• Says she's "wife material" — gets playful about what she can offer, hinting at being "flexible" and going "the extra mile" and "out of the box"
• Describes her ideal man: "eyes that can tell a story," quiet but wild, huggable like a pillow — wants a fluffy guy
• Loves tattoos on men, but draws the line at a tattoo near the crotch with an ex's name
• Will NOT date an atheist — but any religion is accepted, doesn't matter which God
• Flirting strategy: would walk past him, "accidentally" splash water on him, then help him dry off with a napkin that has her phone number written on it

Fritchie (returning guest from previous videos) ​

• Wants to date foreigners to "experience new things" — has dated Filipino guys before
• Currently most attracted to Middle Eastern-looking guys specifically
• Age range: prefers 30s to 40s, hard no on 60 and above
• Would date a broke guy if she genuinely likes him and sees a future — believes dating should be about seeing yourself with that person 10–20 years from now, not games
• Strongly rejects the expectation that a foreign husband should support her family — calls it "the mentality of others that I want to break"
• Says she wants to prove Filipina women "can stand on their own" and is "very confident" her family would never ask her husband for money
• Pushes back on the Western women's accusation that Filipinas only want green cards — says it's 2022, Filipinas are educated and employed, and wanting a man doesn't mean needing a man; they enjoy male company but don't want to be a burden
• Also challenges the "independent woman who doesn't need men" attitude: "Good luck with that, they'll end up alone"
• Describes ideal partner: 5'7" and above, loves the "dad bod" — specifically finds the beer belly attractive, not gym-body types
• Would date a bald guy — was once attracted to one who "looked so fresh, like he smells amazing"
• Would date a non-religious guy as long as he doesn't criticize others' beliefs
• Top three qualities: loyalty, adventurousness (wants someone to jump off cliffs and swim with whales), and respect
• Would absolutely make the first move — wouldn't hesitate to walk up and say hi
• On circumcision: prefers circumcised, which is what she's familiar with

Pea's big finale question — circumcised or uncircumcised: ​

• She asks every interviewee this question as a surprise closer
• Overwhelming unanimous answer: circumcised
• Reactions range from blushing embarrassment to immediate no-hesitation answers
• Chrisley gets particularly flustered; confirms she's seen both but strongly prefers circumcised
• Pea's reassurance to uncircumcised viewers: "Don't sweat it — it's not a deal-breaker, it's just the only thing most of us are familiar with, if we're familiar with anything at all"

Pea's overall takeaways: ​

• The women are looking for all kinds of guys — there's no single "type" that Filipinas want
• The biggest recurring theme was loyalty — surprisingly, money wasn't a top priority (at least not in what they said publicly)
• The only real point of near-unanimous agreement was the circumcision preference
