Same reason a Filipina asks us whether we've dated other Filipinas, or whether we've been to the Philippines before, how many times, and for how long. Think about why a Filipina would ask us that, and you'll figure out why we ask a Filipina how many foreigners she's dated.

Because she's probably been used and hurt by other foreigners, and we don't want to pour too much emotion into dealing with self-inflicted trauma.

I think most of the time, Filipinas who meet foreigners online end up with pretty bad guys. Maybe 70% of the time? Because it's a different culture, they can't tell how bad or how weird the guy is. As an American, for example, I can quickly tell if another American is weird, doesn't take care of himself, or has something wrong with him. Filipinas can't see that. So many Filipinas end up with bad foreign men. On top of that, foreign men who don't live nearby lie to them and just use them for affection or nude photos, with no interest in a real relationship. But the guys asking that question are either trying to see how experienced or naive the woman is, or they're just curious. There are thousands of bad men preying on Filipinas, taking advantage of how quickly they fall in love even when the guy is no good. You have to be careful. Maybe 1 in 20 foreign guys is decent and normal. Maybe 1 in 10 actually wants a real relationship and isn't just after nude photos or using women.

Insecure questions, bro. You're not the first. You probably won't be the last, bro. Don't get in your feelings about it.
