Traditional courting is still followed and preferred by parents born and raised from the provinces rather than in Metro Manila. Many Filipinos still do that nowadays, it is not common though for city girls.
true, still surprisingly common. and even though with all the dating apps, dms etc, i think normally people still ask "pwede ba manligaw" though yea ofc asking that inrl would be more traditional lol
Actually, the act of asking if you can court someone is pretty much akin to online dating's swiping and getting a match. Basically, allowing someone to court you can mean that you at least pass the first impression or physical attractiveness test - filtering out persons that people wouldn't be attracted to. It's a good way to save effort and time from the person who's courting, and saves the other person from the icks or embarrassments brought by courtship.
I think the asking for permission to make "Ligaw" is a very good thing that we have in the culture especially these days. There are a lot of "paasa" people that makes misleading actions like being nice, thoughtful or whatever. By the time you assumed that you like each other, you just realized "ay okay, Oppa is just friendly to everyone that way." Its also a good way to set some boundaries in your friendship with the other person.
there were some inaccuracies about filipino courtship they were discussing. first we dont have to court families to court the girl. we are simply asking permission, and even then in many situation, this doesnt even happen. 2nd filipino girls do not just sit and wait for the guy to make the first move. there will always be hints for the guy to ask if she can court her. to me thats the first move. back in the 90s, girls would usually confess to the guy that she likes him (if the guy cannot take the hint). if the guy likes him back, he will ask if he can court her. and even during the colonial times, the hints are more apparent (dropping of handkerchief, etc etc). lastly, answering a "yes" after courtship makes the gf-bf relationship official, an official couple with a label. without it, even if couple who has done everything a bf/gf or even a spouse would do to each other, but there was no courtship or if there was no final resolution to the courtship, then it is not official and you arent boyfriends or girlfriends.
i think Issa did a good job explaining it well. The "yes" to a courtship does not mean you're already official. You are just given a go-signal to proceed with the courting.
i think kaya minsan nagaask ung guys kasi minsan si girl gusto muna mag tapos ng pagaaral or may iba pang priority bago magpaligaw at saka iwas ma friendzone na din para clear 😂
Love Jinho, Rio, Mikaela and Issa. FYI- Rio from Japan, looks like "Li Hongyi," Chinese Actor of Queen Lau. Like the interaction of these group to each other. Looks like version of Variety Show of China *650 FM? Hope this group will flourish like 650 Variety Show of China. Good Luck!
When women says " i dont care about physical appearance" then thats a LIE. Even if you are the most dependable, kind, and mature guy, you'll always end up rejected and told "IM NOT READY" . But then the next week she's already in a relationship with a handsome guy.
You're not wrong about that; it's just a fact of life. The solution is to find your niche and lean into it. The chicks in that niche will naturally be attracted to you. Then you can choose who you do the whole courtship dance with.
We all got preferences but I think what we mean when we say 'I don't care about physical appearance' is that it's not the number one thing we look for, but of course all of us have some level of preference because it also means that the guy takes care of himself or has a style that just sides with the preferences of the girl.
It was good to hear each of your perspectives on dating culture. It really got me thinking, so I decided to look at the numbers. As of April 2024, the Philippines' fertility rate was 1.5, which is below the replacement level of 2.1. So it's happening all over the world now. And the common thread among affected countries appears to be their departure from traditional values. Traditional systems worked well for our forebears for thousands of years. By trying to "fix" them over the past few decades, ironically, we just created more problems for ourselves.
@@DarkR0ze Several research organizations have already published their findings. And none of them agree with you. The answers are easy to find and readily available.
May departure talaga sa traditional values the more na nadedevelop ang isang lugar. Tsaka andami na ngayon na pwedeng gawin ang isang tao besides procreating.
@@AkitaMix Your observation that developed nations have shown a tendency to move away from traditionalism is correct. That has been the trend so far. But that doesn't mean it is impossible for a developed nation to stick with traditional values. The prevailing culture of each country is subject to forces that seek to control and shape it. It is not an accident that traditional values were (and still are) being framed as "old and irrelevant."
Looks like this group is like *Chinese -Original Grp of "650 FM- 50km Taohuawu, Variety Show." Hope this Sunbae Club will get 1M viewers, like the *650 FM-Good Luck!
When I was 16, a guy asked me through messenger if he could court me. So then I said yes cause I don't really mind someone courting me. And I also wanna experience courtship. But then the next thing he said was "so are we in a relationship now?" Like girl I thought u were gonna court me first?! The conversation was like Him: Can I court you? Me: Yes, I guess you can Him: So are we dating now? Me: */blocked him
Ako gusto ko pa rin ang traditional na ligaw. Minsan lang mangyayri sayo yan, bakit mo pa isi-skip. Men are created to be the puruser and girls, the pursued. So I dont like it kapag yung babae ang nagffirst move. Parang, girl kumalma ka! Wag kang atat!
With all due respect, it is rude or disrespect to direct or show the sole of your shoes to someone face. But I'm sure it was unintentional to Jinho to do it many times to Rio.
Really? Is it a cultural thing? I’m genuinely curious cause I’ve never heard of this before 😅 (for context, I live in Canada). I’m guilty of doing this a lot cause it’s comfortable, but I hope no one thinks I’m being rude by doing it
@@MADesigns_ Actually it is not an Asian culture but a very serious to Middle Eastern culture. And it makes sense because the sole of your shoes is the dirtiest you have on your body.
@@MADesigns_ - Now after learning it and you will watch the video again you will feel something not nice and uncomfortable. But again Jinho have no any bad intention doing that.
i'm so into asian media contents but i'm having a hard time multi-tasking reading subs while doing my plates 🥲 good thing i discovered this channel a day ago!! now i'm bingewatching 🥳 looking forward to your future contents~
