Ukraine vs the Philippines - Which is better for a tradcath passport bro looking for a wife?

I've been torn between the two countries for years now, scheming of where I would go after finishing undergrad and finding a good job.

So for a short context to give you an idea of my situation: I'm now a software engineer working on a masters in cybersecurity. As far as looks goes I'm 25 years old, 6'4 tall, white guy, fat but muscular from strongman training and working towards getting actually lean by mid 2026. I'm a devout traditionalist Catholic, one of those Latin Mass guys, waiting until marriage. Been frustrated with my options here in my city, the Catholic women around me are either already married, courting someone else, or just not into me. Horrible luck on online dating, it's just straight up slop.

My plan is that I want to take my first trip abroad in late 2026 when I have a lot of PTO banked. Set some money aside every pay check as I'm starting to aggressively pay down my mountain of student loans.

So as far as Ukraine goes, here are my pros on wanting to go to the country: I have Ukrainian ancestry, ~25% from family that were diaspora from 1880s Austria Hungary. I do enjoy a four seasons climate, and tend to prefer cold weather. Solid strongman and metal scenes over there. There are Ukrainian Catholics in the Western Oblasts (Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, so eastern rite). I speak an elementary level of Ukrainian that I learned in undergrad albeit I struggled with grammar and conjugations and put that on hiatus, considering dedicating a large amount of time to getting fluent. I find the women who stayed beautiful and strong-willed, I absolutely adore blue eyes as a match to my greens.

Cons: Political instability, high divorce + abortion rates, active push from NGOs and subversives to turn Ukraine into a woke progressive economic zone. Unforgiving language barrier for deep communication. Having to learn a completely different liturgical rite. Commie block apartments. Having to do a lot more to stand out due to lack of exoticism as a very average looking white guy who doesn't get success at home. A degree of moral questionability of trying to poach a Ukrainian wife whilst my distantly related kin are being conscripted to die in the trenches to fend of Russian occupation. Especially with no clear end to the war in sight.

Pros for the Philippines: I find Filipinas really attractive. No language barrier for the most part as virtually everyone speaks English well even in the province. Ton of Latin Mass chapels throughout the Philippines, so I wouldn't have to worry about finding/communicating with a solid confessor as well as feeling at home with Mass in the Roman Rite. If I were to get married the housing market is very lucrative for the exchange rate and I'd be able to buy or build a villa for what would get you a shack in the US. Solid food, I like the savory flavors of Filipino food. Friendly people and a more relaxed pace of life. I will stand out being young, tall, fit (after the weight cut is complete) which means and there's a much higher chance it will be for actual love and not just economics and the ladies may be be higher class. Divorce and abortion are outright illegal in the Philippines. Virtually everyone is a baptized Catholic there, even if non-practicing.

Cons: Hot and humid climate (will be brutal but I could survive as long as I can sleep with A/C), plenty of corruption + poverty + pollution, the women are becoming more modern due to social media addiction, having to fight the expectation that your job is to support the entire extended family, worried my future sons could struggle with dating due to being mixed, harder to eat healthy due to seed oils in everything and less options for ingredients, really bad natural disasters. No snow for skiing and not really any Strongman scene.

Say if you were considering going to some singles events on your trip like those singles tours? Or just to explore and try to meet some women organically by visiting a few churches amidst your travels and maybe run into a cool grandma who can hook me up with her granddaughter lol. Which country would you choose?
