You often put yourself forward as an expert on the Philippines, but when asked about what experience you have there, you're always silent. How long did you live there? Did you have many relationships with Filipinos?
I have a lot of experience on both sides of the South China Sea, but it's hard to make useful comparisons because relationships are complex and all people are unique individuals with their unique personalities. My Filipino wife was very different to other Filipinos I've met.
Perhaps you could list your "for a dozen good reasons" why you prefer Thai women over Filipinos? This comment would suggest you've had a lot of experience with both nationalities.
As for me, I prefer to live in Thailand, so after my divorce from a Filipino I need to explore my options with Thai women.
To offer some insight into this comparison, there are some very important points to consider.
Firstly, let's explore the population demographics of both countries:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thailand: People living below the poverty line - 6.3% (2021 data)
Philippines: People living below the poverty line - 18.1% (2021 data)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the Philippines is much poorer by a factor of 3.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thailand: population 71.8 million
Median age: 40 years
Population 0 - 14: 30.7%
Philippines: population ~ 118 million
Median age: 25 years
Population 0 - 14: 17%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To summarize, there are about 6 million females below 15 years of age in Thailand vs 18 million in the Philippines. The number in the Philippines will continue to increase while the number in Thailand will reduce due to the much lower fertility rate of Thailand's population. Thailand's population is aging while The Philippines' population continues to grow.
There are roughly 3 times more available young females in the Philippines vs Thailand.
In the Philippines, unmarried, available females in the 18 - 25 age group without children are easy to find. In Thailand, most foreigners will date older women with children. With the much higher poverty rate in the Philippines you'll find that young, unmarried females without children are often desperate and willing to marry any foreigner they can find. Such is not the case in Thailand.
Also to consider is the social welfare system of Thailand is a lot better than in the Philippines, and that's an understatement.
