If you grew up in the Philippines, opportunities are you grew up with your grandmother or aunties (locally called as Titas) telling you that your skirt is too short, your reds are too red, your blouse is too see-through, or you went house far too late (or early given that you did can be found in at 2AM). There would also be times that they have called you out for laughing too loud or have asked you "Who was that guy on that photo in Facebook? Why was his arm around you? Is he your boyfriend? Malagkit ang tingin niya sayo (He looks at you in a different way)." or something to that level. Recently, I did something any decent Dalagang Pinay babes would never ever do (maybe since the Dalaga had no iPhone before): I downloaded Tinder and swiped right numerous times. To my surprise, I got numerous swipe rights back and my phone pinged nearly 7 times a day informing me that I have a brand-new message from some stranger that swiped right on me. However, this Pinay babe did not stop at merely talking them. I went out with among them. Picture the number of slippers that could be flying round the Dalaga's house must the family understand about this. I told dating a filipino babe friend of mine that I went on a Tinder date in Canada. She was informing me to erase the app and as any buddy, alerted me about the dangers of Tinder that I currently learnt about. Much more remarkably, she pointed out that she never thought that I would download Tinder and not to mention go on a Tinder date. "Because Dalagang Pilipina," she replies. She was right, the Dalaga would never ever do this. She will sit on their ancestral home's veranda and await for Pedro/Juan/Pepito/ whoever to serenade her. Poor Pedro/Pepito/Juan will have to travel through an audition simply to be able to bring out our Dalagang Pinay babes, believe something like American Idol, The Voice, Britain's Got Skill and so on. Judges will be grandma, auntie, auntie's husband, Dalagang Pilipina's bro & & parents, granny's friend, and often their next-door neighbor. That is the woman our grandparents, moms and dads, aunties, uncles, next-door neighbors expect us to be.
Anything that doesn't fit in that cookie-cutter mold, may it be less or more, was something ... Why? Because it was something various. If it was something good or bad was a various story. The Dalagang Pinay Babes is a concept. She does not go on Tinder dates. For the longest time, teenage Pinay babes (in the Philippines) were expected to fit into this description or at the minimum, be demure, made up, lady-like, and so on. Exist Pinay babes who are still like this? Yes. Are there Filipinas who go on Tinder dates? Juan-or-Pedro/damsel-in-distress and I don't think there's anything incorrect with that.
It does not necessarily suggest that we are looking for a relationship or want someone to sleep with. Though in some cases, women filipino Babes and I won't lie, it does. I think I am simply no Dalagang Pinay babes anymore. And I do not think all Pinay babes are anymore. Is that a bad thing? I do not believe so. It just implies we know what we want and we go all out. I want to reconsider the statement I have mentioned previously, that the Dalagang Pinay women filipino Babes would never do somethingsuch as set up Tinder on her phone. The Dalagang Pinay babes would download it, swipe a few times, message him some dangerous notes and she would not get captured.
Just recently, I did something any good Dalagang Pinay babes would never do (perhaps given that the Dalaga had no iPhone prior to): I downloaded Tinder and swiped ideal numerous times. I informed a good friend of mine that I went on a Tinder date in Canada. Even more remarkably, she discussed that she never ever believed that I would download Tinder and let alone go on a Tinder date. Are there Filipinas who go on Tinder dates? I would like to rethink the declaration I have actually discussed previously, that the Dalagang Pinay babes would never ever do somethingsuch as set up Tinder on her phone.
