Also a reason I seldom go out at night, cockroaches are more nocturnal.

I had a filipina friend who absolutely refused free accommodation from a school, simply because she would be living with other filipinas...gossip, she said, constant gossip.

So they might act unpressured on their own, but they are very aware of the cultural pressures groups bring with them.

In my thus limited experience, I'd say that Filipinas are more modern in the sense that they have their own interests, hobbies and so forth. Or rather, moreso than Khmer women. Part of that is langiage, but a big part is the fact that the Philippines is more developed, the education more westernized and people generally way more adventurous. Times are changing, but for the most part, Khmer women don't have any of that. On dates with Filipinas you'd learn that they scuba dived, went travelling, loved hiking, could go out with friends at night stuff like that. I know many Khmer women now you have traveled abroad and have similar interests and are their own women, but for the most part Fils girls still have them well beat in that department. Your odds of hearing "Stay at home" Eat rice yet?" with a Khmer girl are way higher than with a Flip woman. That being said, I know Khmer women who have traveled almost as much as I have and have a vast array of interest and hobbies, and wouldn't balk at the thought of going, say, bungee jumping. At the end of the day, it depends on the demographics you interact with. A village girl here or in Arkansas will have very similar world outlooks when you think about it... I don't mind the girl's background, as long as she's inquisitive, bright, and open to new ideas, I'm happy.

Were I to accept a blind date and my choice was a Pinay or Srey Khmer, I would choose the Khmer lady 10 times out of 10.
