Maybe because of a superiority complex that turns out to be a compensation from being inferior to men of other countries...
in short Filipino's excessive pride exist only in our own domain because outside they feel inferior to others...
*filipino mode*
"ang mga lalaki sa pilipinas mayabang lang sa kapwa pilipino o mayabang lang kapag nasa pilipinas..."
I'm a Filipino...but I don't blame you if you view Filipino men as that...
anyway, please don't generalize so much...because I might say too that all men are barbaric...as what I really believe regardless of nationality...
Now you don't want that harsh statement do you?...
ALso it would be unfair to pinpoint Filipino men as rude or disrespectful...I have met so many westerners and other Asians online...and some are really really rude but I don't generalize that their kind are all like that...
A rotten fruit doesn't mean that the tree is rotten too..
Besides,
no two people are the same...meaning not all Filipino men are like that...

I dont think know where you have been hanging out here? Maybe that possibly reflects the guys you are meeting
I have dated alot of different cultures and have travelled all over the world and I have found that Filipino men are the most respectful of any other nationality I have met.
I find that they are gentlemen and have so much respect for woman.
I am an Australian Lady I am about to marry filipino fiancee and have also been living in the Philippines since September and have not found that once. All the interactions I have with them I have been so amazed at how polite and respectful they are.
So no there are not "alot" of disrespectful men in the Philippines

Although I cannot say with certainty, I would think it would be because there is a societal difference in the way women are perceived. It may not be drastic, but enough to cause some change in what men feel is appropriate treatment of women. Perhaps there is not quite the same sense of equality, for even in Canada, America, etc, etc, etc, where there have been major steps towards equality, there are still lingering perceptions and beliefs from previous societal view. If there is less respect for women, there is less respect for what they say and feel, and therefore it is okay for men to be more "forward" etc. Or, on the other hand, perhaps you have just run into a statistical anomaly, you have met the small percentage who act this way, and none other in that area would have behaved in this manner. Keep an open mind . Peace.

Too bad for you. But we cannot blame you to think that a lot of Filipino men are disrespectful, I'm sure you happen to meet or encounter those disrespectful Filipino men in their worst disposition. Anyone can have bad-hair days. You may not admit it, but hey, you will definitely or will most likely become rude to others when you don't feel good about something and your request wasn't granted, more especially if you haven't taken a shower for a month. I think those Filipino guys whom you said are disrespectful haven't taken a bath for quite awhile. We Filipinos are generally "Magalang" or courteous because we habitually take a bath everyday (culturally, Filipinos are expected to take a bath as often as daily). I know that you may find it a little nonsense, but just try to figure out why taking a bath everyday is synonymous to a Filipino's happy disposition which will then result to developing his sense of politeness. Next time, if you again meet a disrespectful Filipino, scream at him and say "Why don't you rather leave and take a shower." That way he will then realize you're right as such is a Filipino's way of reconditioning his natural and unctuous gentleman-ly manners.

Well one of the culture of a filipino men is pride... they dont take no as an answer, but most of them have limitation.. until they realize they are wrong they would accept it... men are disrespectful in the philippines??? well this hurt my feelings really bad... actually men in our country disrespect the disrespectful one... or maybe you are with those uneducated men in the philippines who don't know a thing about morality. Hope you could really meet the real "Filipino men" who are gentlemen in very way and treat their woman as lady...

I think that most of these men are foreigners that pray on the innocent and very naive Filipino girls. A lot of them are looking for a way out of the poverty and are willing to do anything. Men coming in from around the world take advantage of this and automatically think that all of the girls are the same and do not realise how religious and self respecting the other girls are. Its a shame to see how the young girls are abused in the Philippines.

YOU are so mistaken. They are everywhere in the States also, in Europe, in Latin America just like you said also.
In fact, I can introduce you to some of my acquaintances here in the LA area who really will not take NO for an answer. Some are in prison now. I can assure you that you did not have to go to the Philippines.

Filipino men are one of the most respectful men on Earth. There are some bad apples, but then again, you can say that about men in any country.

I do not agree with your comparison, I guess you and I are different, in age, in upbringing, in attitude, in values, in traditions. I do not know any other people in the world men or women young or old that are as respectful as the Filipinos.

When I was courting my ex-wife, she uttered the exact word NO at three different places when I proposed to her. Is that disrespectful? I believe that you are confused between persistence and disrespect. I wish I was disrespectful then.
