Why are Filipina chicks so over the top modest when it comes to wearing swimsuits?

Most my mom's family is from the Philippines, on Siquijor Island.

I went there for my High School graduation gift in June to Aug 2012. Spent the whole summer there and across the bay in Cebu City with my favorite Aunt.

so, I was wearing my bikinis nearly everywhere, esp on the beach.

ALL of my girl cousins were "jealous" of my bikinis, yet not one of they will go swimming in anything except cut off shorts, a bra, and a tshirt.

Not one of them will even wear a one piece swimsuit!!

They text me and call me all the time, usually for money. But the conversation ALWAYS turns to how can they find and marry an America? Like Aunt Mildred (my real mom) did, and like my Aunt Maggie did that married an American that lives with her in Cebu City.

I told them they all are TOO uptight and old fashioned when it comes to wearing modern clothes, esp bikinis.

Several of them are on FB, and other social sites, esp dating sites, but cannot get a guy to be interested in them. Okay, they get 60 yo fat white guys wanting to marry them. They don't want that. I told them they half to "advertise", show some skin, and be willing to show men what they want to see and want in a woman.

I cannot get any answers out of my cousins about wearing a bikini, except their moms say it is a Sin and God will punish them for doing that!

**So, what are you thoughts on this subject?

Have you noticed, few if any Filipinas (and/or other non-mainstream Asians), that are clothing Old Fashionistas AND refuse to wear even a normal 2 piece swimsuit?

Also, do you know of any that complain constantly no one wants to date them (except Asian men suffering from 2nd Class Citizen & Little Man Syndrome)?

I forgot the other thing that chaffs against this lack of desire to wear bikinis, and cute outfits...

Most of my cousins and the girls in the village are married as young as 14yo and no older than 25yo, else you are unmarriable...

and 9 out of 10 of them are sexually active with boys and usually much older married Filipino men with fat ugly wives. Most get married early coz they are pregnant.

They will have sex, but not wear a bikini, singled or married?
