I started to think seriously about marriage when I was past my 60th birthday because I felt lonely alone in my old age, and my mother, who had been my caregiver for ten years, had died, and I was getting lighter.
At that time, I didn't consider the Japanese woman to marriage. That's because I felt that a Japanese woman in her fifties would be a more suitable partner for me because of the balance between my age and my own, but I couldn't imagine marrying a woman of that age.
Then, marriage to a foreigner is on the horizon. When it comes to marriage, of course, I would prefer a woman who can communicate with me and preferably a young woman of some age. Since he would need to see her many times before the marriage, he would prefer a woman from a country that can be reached within 4-5 hours by plane.
I started thinking about marrying a Filipino because of those conditions. I had been with a Filipina before, so I had no resistance to marrying her.
After doing some research online, I found out that there are several sites where you can meet Filipinas, so I signed up for a few of them.
I found Filipino Cupid to be the one with the most serious Filipinas looking for a relationship. The Filipinas on the other sites had Filipinas who were looking for fun and money, which I felt was not a good way to find a marriage partner.。
I signed up for the paid version of Filipino Cupid, filled out my profile as honestly as I could (although I only used a photo from a few years ago), sent messages to people I liked as a match, and responded to the messages they sent me. I received quite a few messages every day, so it was hard for me to reply to them.
This one wants to be single, between 25 and 40 years of age, and live in Manila or Cebu or near Davao. Many Filipinos are not married but have children, so they had a requirement that if the children were not too big, it wouldn't be a problem.
At the time, I was going to the Philippines a few times a year, so some of the women we exchanged messages and decided to meet up. But some of them even skipped the appointment.
In the midst of all this, I was able to meet and marry a woman who worked in Gaisano, Lapu-Lapu City, while staying at his cousin's house.
Dating sites are also a mixed bag, but Filipino Cupid is quite conscientious and many couples have actually gotten married. So I think it is recommended if you are thinking of marriage seriously. By the way, since it is an American site, you can meet not only Filipinos but also people from various countries.
