Pea, everything you said is correct. I now have my Filipina and her daughter with me in the US. Although she misses her family she loves the fact that she makes more in a day working here than she did in 3 weeks in the Philippines. Great content I plan on sharing with a few guy friends of mine!
Watching my twin brother married to a Filipina I have some knowledge. The one thing that puzzled me was my brother was in the Navy stationed in Guam he came back to port and she was at the port when he got off. She literally trailed him from the Philippines and they weren't even together yet. He figured he better marry her or he might not see the next day.
@@Jimmy911ism Did I mention she was a bar girl. This was the early 90's where they have a 5 percent chance of working out. Today's bargirls it less than .000001 percent.
One thing I agree with is the fear of bad English. When I first met my wife's family, no one would talk to me because they were all afraid of sounding bad. When I spoke some awful Tagalog, everything changed. I tried, so that made them try as well. it also helped when I would lie to them and tell them their English was so good!
@@waraymeinthephilippines Dont laugh at me: I am a native German speaker and when I have a presentation of a project in English I have to drink 2 whiskeys "on the rock" before,,🤣🤣

I totally agree 💯% I'm from the United States and now since seeing her video's I'm most definitely a big fan of hers she gets to the point of things the good and bad keep it real Filipina pea!
I marries a Dominican girl. Your culture and hers are almost the same. One of the biggest things that is important was our faith. That was number one. That is key to a good relationship. My wife is loyal to her family and she helps out her mom.We can afford to do so,but she knows that our family comes first and we are on the same page. If we were not we would not be married for very long.
Some filipina's are savvy since the internet has come along, girls in the city are like western women thinks like being materlistic. BTW love bombing from the start is a Red flag.
Nothing wrong with your hooters 😂 love your blogs I have a Filipino girlfriend and you help me understand her more and most of what you say is nail on the head but I am happy with her beautiful attention. Always want her in my life. Thank you Pea A lot of Westerners don't understand the cultural differences but you do a great job in explaining.
Wow, this is SOOOO Spot on! I met my Filipina sweetheart in the USA, had never dated Pinays before, but it's WONDERFUL! I wish I had years ago! We are both around 60, two marriages each and grown kids, worked overseas, and don't want to go out and date lots of people. She is a great cook, loving woman and 100% jealous when we are around her female friends!🤣🤣
You don't need to look like a Hooters girl, you are fine the way you are. Now, having said that, I can tell you from personal experience that my Filipina is dedicated to the relationship in ways I never had with other women in the past. The level of attention to my well-being is beyond my previous experience. When I met her, she had a beautiful 4 year old daughter and had been abandoned by the real father when she was just a baby, because his family made him marry another woman. Apparently for some reason, they didn't like my Filipina. Well, their loss was my gain. I helped put the daughter through school, which honestly was not a large expense, and she studies hard and wants to be a nurse. Now she calls me daddy and she is growing into a really beautiful lady and she got a scholarship to a special school. My Filipina has done a great job raising her despite the obstacles, financial and social that she faced. She even bypassed opportunities to work overseas so she wouldn't leave her daughter behind. I guess what is most gratifying is that she never forgets to remind me every day how she feels about me. Her daughter too is always thanking me for taking care of her and her mom and that she owes me a lot. I say they owe me nothing because I'm repaid every day with love and kindness. They both are always saying they love me. I never forget to return the sentiment. Can a man ask more than that from life? If there is a downside, it is canceled by the love and devotion I am experiencing.
@@Jimmy911ism I did the petition thing and strongly warn against it. I met many Fil-West couples, most of the wives don't like "fun" with their husbands and only put on the act to get more babies and money for family. When they realize they can close shop in the bedroom, that happens too. Problem in PH is laws about living together especially with a child. I'm looking for a different country and culture now.
I chose the Philippines because my SS goes much further there. I am back in the US now because of personal matters but will return as soon as I am done. @@Jimmy911ism
I had a decent understanding of most of this stuff, but the asking if a ate yet as a greeting did have me confused a bit. From the moment she knew our time difference and my typical schedule she is right on cue for my breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks Pea for clearing this up for me.
Astonishing in your accuracy. Married to my Filipina going on 43 years. She's Visayan. First University graduate in her family. When we were young she exhibited nearly all of the traits you describe. With one notable exception. My wife was Never shy. She exhibited a self assurance that was different from any Filipina I ever met before her. Her English was excellent and she was not afraid to speak English to anyone. In fact, her whole family spoke excellent English and we're not shy speaking English at all.
everything you said is so true . my philippina wife and I have been married for 40 years . we are the same age and have lived through everything you said. but we have always put each other first, not each others families.
Insecurity in a partner is an issue for me, but I realize that it's not just about her being insecure, it's about all of the other things that her being insecure usually bring with it. In my experience, an insecure woman tends to show her insecurity through unpleasant displays of jealously and anger and pouting (tampo). One of the most important things to me it have have peace in a relationship, and I don't find it peaceful to be assailed by constant bouts of jealousy, anger, and pouting. I draw a line from all of these things back to insecurity and try to address them all by either avoiding insecure women or helping her to feel secure. Although my attempts to cure women's insecurities have all failed so far.
Yeah all the clingy behavior, jealousy, and insecurities, would drive me away. I’m not one to put up with anger, and jealousy. I’m not putting up with a temper tantrum from some woman because in her head I’ve done something wrong, but haven’t. It’s just her runaway imagination.
@@TheFilipinaPea I think that you're right about that. I'm fairly certain that if the insecure woman doesn't decide to deal with her insecurity for herself, that there's nothing that a man will be able to do to cure it. But this raises an interesting question... How does a guy (who doesn't want to deal with the peace destroying side effects of insecurity) go about finding a Filipina (or any woman) who has already dealt with her insecurities? Or is there a way that an insecure Filipina can mitigate the side effects of her insecurity? You said in your last video (where you were interviewed for a change) that you want to give peace to a man in your relationship, and you have also said that insecurities among Filipinas is virtually universal. So how do you reconcile the insecurities that you're struggling with (as a Filipina) with your desire to give peace in a relationship?
@@jeffbateman3620 well first of all, i don't think you're looking in the best place for comprehensive answers to your very legitimate question/s which actually are important beyond the realm of romantic relationships... i intend to eventually have a channel where i 'professionally' answer questions like these in this kind of context, but suffice for now to say that your intuitions are spot on about this phenomenon not being exclusive to pinay, and about the inherent 'contradictions' of making a relationship like that 'succeed'
This whole video is pretty much spot-on. My Filipina drives me up a wall, sometimes, but I love her dearly, anyway, and when she's at her best, there is no one better for me ♥️
I've seen quite a few provincial girls turn into city girls rather quickly. Also she went from having morena skin tone to having a skin tone that's so white she practically glows in the dark. She also went from a conservative to the knee dresses to spandex that barely covers anything. She went from doing her vlog similar to your videos, to talking about the size of bananas .
Always love your videos. Japan, China, Korea and most of southeast asia, all have the custom of "saving face". They will either deny or deflect responsibility. Take care and see you Tuesday.
I'm so glad I joined the University of Pea, The course on Filipina behavior studies with Professor Pea is the best! Doesn't hurt that she is easy on the eyes too. ;) lol All joking aside thank you for all your hard work to bring us all into the know for better understanding between us and our Filipino counterparts as well as learn a bit of the culture too...hmmm think I'm in Professor Pea's Filipino Culture 202 course now! lol ;) Have a good day and God Bless!
I’m glad I found your channel. I love watching your videos. You are so stunningly beautiful and very intelligent. You have a great sense of humor and your intelligence doesn’t go unnoticed. I hope you find the right person for you. Any man that can call you his girlfriend is definitely a lucky man. You are an amazing woman and deserve nothing but the best. ❤
Hello Pea, yes I can relate to all you are saying , if a you want a good relationship with a Filipina you must learn to be tolerant and patient and the benefits are wonderful . Good video thanks Pea.
Hi i been watching your videos since i started dating my Filipina and they really helped me understand and be a better understanding partner to her. So thank you so much for the videos P.S i married that same Filipina two months ago
This explains a lot with all the Filipinas ive made friends with. I will say i enjoy talking with them tremendously. Im always respectful and love that they have a good sense of humor. Because iblove to joke around.
I have been married to a Filipina for more years than Pea has lived. We moved to Cebu last year and the mate guarding really kicked in. It did surprise me. We are in our 70s. What's up with this? You're right food food food. It's a miracle I don't weigh 150 kilos.
One thing that I can verify is the saving disagreements for the home and they can get heated. It definitely surprised me the first time. But once you get the hang of communicating better, they begin to largely mellow out
Right by my side is right. I hadn't seen my wife and son since before the pandemic and I visited them in December. The first two weeks were magical but then I became so sick I spent five days in a third world hospital. My Filipina and my son stayed beside me the whole time. She slept on a not very comfortable cot and he made a bed on the floor. Hospital staff doesn't do very much for their patients so I'm happy they were there for me. Also I had more than 30 visitors during my stay which would never happen in the USA
The way Pea describes Filipina's makes me want to date one. Being taken care of when I'm ill / injured instead of being relied on will instantly make me fall in love.
Thanks Pea ❤️ your videos are very helpful because I have a lady there too that I've been talking to for over a year in the Philippines love the work you do
@@karlcauckwell2947 be careful man. Meet in person, internet can be dangerous. Hope you haven’t sent too much money. If you have, chances are you are not the only one. Keep your wits
I cant wait to get there. I went from high school straight to the Air Force to try to get there. But couldnt make my plans for early retirement work if i went there young. Now im here 11 months away from my goal of a life in paradise with the people i fell in love with like 30 years ago. I missed retired at 50 by one year. It will be 3 weeks after my 51st bday. My kids are set and working on their own goals. All my ex wives are happily destroing the lives of some other poor sucker. No alimony no child support everything is or will be paid off soon. My homecoming will be no strings attached. You've taught me so much that i will always be eternally grateful. Thank you so much Pea. With love and virtual hugs from the states 😊
Great insights Pea😉 In my opinion that famous line from the movie Forrest Gump fits this topic perfectly. You could substitute the word "Life" with "Filipinas" to read "Filipinas are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get".🤣🤣🤣
@TheFilipinaPea >>> Regarding what you said starting at about 10:08 in this video: I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. We had a neighbor couple, the wife was Canadian and the husband was from Italy. I lived in Dade County, Florida from 1988 to 1995. I heard ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT ACCENTS there. I have been living in northeastern North Carolina since 1995. Plenty of Southern-ish accents here, too. As long as I can understand what you are saying, an accent is a non-issue for me.
Hi Pea. Great video and most of this I did already know. Comes from living here and observing what goes on with most couples. I have always treated women with respect no matter where I am. I just had a 3 month relationship with a Filipina that I treated very well but due to a couple of bad relationships in her past she thought all guys were the same and did not treat me very well so back to the drawing board. Always enjoy your videos so keep them coming. Keep smiling and stay safe
You are always so right Pea. So many things you explain that I recognize and some I never figured out by own experience. Thank's for a very good channel of information and entertainment. 😊
I started talking to a Filipina almost 2 months ago and wanted to learn more about her, I started watching your videos. I have mentioned our 18 year age difference to her a few times and always says it doesn’t bother her. She will be 31 and I’ll be 49 this year. She is working abroad in Saudi Arabia and I’m in the US. She’s from the country outside(30 min) Bacolod. She too loves your videos, they help us both to understand each other. Because of my military pension, I have thought about moving to PI, I take in over $2k, or ₽110k per month. I appreciate your advice and insight in your videos. Keep up the good work.
Excellent insights Pea ! You have really unlocked the door to confusion on a number of issues. Particularly about public arguments. Thanks for your advice !
Pea you are spot on with many of these things. Don't forget the pictures of food. I try to explain to my family that taking pictures of vast amounts of food is a sign of wealth. Most people in the USA would not understand that.
Pea, I've loved your channel for years. You've become more polished and even better over time. This episode was so good I watched it twice & am saving it to watch again after sharing it my lady in your town. It will be good to talk about.
Filipino speak awesome English even out in the province I think Filipinos are probably some of the best English speakers next to Americans don't ever feel embarrassed Filipinos we love to be able to speak to you and we think that your English is awesome
If you think Americans speak proper English (and I am an American), you are sadly confused. The use of the English language in this country has declined drastically in the last few decades, as the schools move away from teaching the language, in favor of more emphasis on "diversity". If the average Filipino has the English skills of Ms. Pea, they are far ahead of the average American.
I think it depends where they go and live. Here french and german are by far more important. People do not use english at all in my country - almost. Only if they really have to and than they often do not like it.
@@johnjones5354 I don't know it all depends where you are at I have a friend of mine and his daughters only seven she speaks English and Spanish fluently and is going to be learning French so it's all depends where you're at and how you push your children there are lazy majority of wedlock children out here and it's a shame but there's nothing we can do about that but the most that are being brought up right or very smart what the technology that they've been given in this country
@@steelcitytv I rest my case. Look at the written description for this video. Composed by a non native English speaker. Then compare it to the above. The introduction is clear, concise, well thought out, properly formatted and punctuated. The above response, written by an alleged native English speaker, is none of those things. Fluency in a language entails more than just oral use of that language.
Pea, I must say "you do it better than anyone else". We need to do a better job of spreading the news. My problem is my lack of friends. Just a few close ones. All the others know I'm crazy & never listen. I'll keep telling them to view & learn. Great job again.
We all know there is a difference. As a matter of fact, even crossing state lines in America. You Filipinas are in a class all by yourselves. Happy Friday Pea.
Your English is excellent! Better than many living in the USA! The women should not be afraid to speak in English we are here to help[ you so don't be shy, just do your best and trust us to help with the rest! Thanks, my friend! Take care and God bless everyone. Love you all. David
I just watched this video for the second time and it reminded me of why I was so impressed with your videos when I first began watching them. Your intelligence in general was impressive but your knowledge of Philippine culture, Western culture and human psychology is extraordinary.
What you talked about reminded me of many western women who prefer appearance, but also reminded me of the US in the 50’s , and interesting dynamic Pea!
Hi Pea, another great video that's entertaining. Everything you said is 100% true. I know that first hand and experience it daily. Even our dog is treated special. Thank you!
Hi Pea, I think the lack of confidence in the language skills is one thing but I've also noticed so many women who think they're not thin enough or describe themselves as ugly when they're clearly not. It seems as though they're comparing themselves to some high standard that they can never reach 😒
I joined a filipino dating site and was talking to an older filipino woman and she asked me about mine and as I told here other than my 2 kids I looked out for my Sister in Law as after my wife died she had no other family, all of a sudden she issued and ultimatum that I have nothing to do with the sister in law or she was done lol and as I explained to her I promised my wife on her death bed that I would be there if she needed help! the woman i was talking to went ballistic when i said i would not break my promise and said some really bad things about my deceased wife that she could never take back! this video explains a lot about why!! But is ended the relationship as she crossed a line she could never come back from! Thanks for the info it explains a lot but still no excuse lol
Because I was aware of the jealousy issue with Philippinas, having learned it from this channel and others, I knew once I met a girl I knew I like and believed I could potentially spend years ahead together....I sat her down VERY early on and had the discussion of jealousy and said flat out! It is the number one deal breaker and she would be fired on the spot as a future wife for doing acts of jealousy, my little sweet Asawa actually made the right choice by NOT acting out on jealousy. Making it clear I'm a "hugger" and I don't discriminate on young old or even some of my men friends that she can expect I may go in for a hug! To top that off I'm 6'3" 240lbs which is a big boy in the Philippines and certainly doesn't go un noticed when that happens... hahhahah. All that being said she has handled my friendliness and kindness very well and has shown very little to no jealousy so far... So in my opinion, make some rules, talk about it early and move on if you find a crazy jealous one... just like that CRAZY one on 90 day fiance show...she is shaking her ass for the camera and posting that garbage while being very jealous to that poor kid! When their that jealous it's because they are the one to worry about!
OK you’ve talked me into it. I started watching your videos cause believe it or not your sense of humor, but stayed because of the information mixed with humor and now I think do I need to date a Filipina it seems like I’m missing one of the wonders of the world if I don’t… thanks for your videos, I always look forward to them
I experienced a flipping Filipina, caught me off guard 100%, I got shocked beyond my minds imagination. Best of luck trying to date a Filipina on a LDR. It’s best to meet a Filipina in person to discuss properly the personality characteristics and wants and needs. Great comments Pea and explaining the Filipinas personality, now I understand completely everything I need to know for my future, LOL 😂❤🙏😉👨🏼
My marriage to my Filipina wife is the result of an LDR. That was what everyone who wanted a Filipina wife did, in those days. And in those days, you didn't meet online either (there was no Internet Dating then - in fact, when I first wrote to a Filipina, there was no Internet). It was snail mail and long distance phone calls. 24 Wedding Anniversaries later, and still counting.
@@CraigRodmellMusic everything has changed 2024 is the new norm, you wouldn’t be able to understand this new scene, unless you get someone to show you how the games are played. 95% are not what they portray who they are or their appearance is altered, and their intentions are sketchy at best. Scammers everywhere online lying, trying to con you with your trusting heart and good will. Keep your money in your wallet, even after you meet them guard your private information and financial information. They are the professionals your the target 🎯
Oh by the way I love your personality and who you are. You are what I call a down to earth type of woman. By that I mean you are a loving kind woman that is concerned about the simple things in life and you don't look for the material things in life. I hope you know what I mean.
Interesting! If all women were the same, life would be simpler, but much more boring. The question of when you get introduced to parents is a tricky one, I remember my nerves on going to my ex's house for the first time and meeting her (very strict, Catholic) Mum and Dad). I wonder if it's easier via social media? I'm all for the closeness thing. I have really strong opinions about cheating either way, one partner at a time! Thanks Pea!
Excellent video Pea! My girlfriend definitely keeps me tied to the phone! We talk on the phone for at least 5 hours a day if not more! Early on in our relationship my girlfriend was so afraid I was going to leave her! She had a bad relationship with an American before, and I assured her often that I was going to be there thru thick and thin! When it comes to English, early on in our relationship my girlfriend would talk extremely fast and sometimes I would miss something she said so I would just nod! After she became more and more comfortable her English is as good as mine! Same with her family! Her sister and nephew initially didn't say too much to me English wise, but it only took a couple of weeks before they really opened up! My most interesting encounter was when I went to greet her friends with a hug! They looked so shocked! They were expecting a handshake and here comes a hug!
I ran into much of what you speak of when I met a Filipina online. Everything was fine until I added her to my friends on Facebook. She immediately went through my friends list and told every single female to go away that I was hers now. This included included my cousins, sister-in-law, niece and and several other people that have been important to me over the years. Needless to say the relationship didn't last much longer after that
Sorry, but I actually laughed at your comment. She's like marking her territory 😅. But I completely understand her behavior. I'm Filipino and male Filipinos do that too, but not to that extent like sending DM to everyone. That's extreme 😂. Posting one or two pics intimate together, or updating relationship status should be enough most of the time. There's even a colloquial term for that in the Philippines actually. We call it "binabakuran" or putting a fence around somebody. It's like advertising to the world that he/she and the significant other are together and anybody who would attempt to snatch his/her price would be dealt with 😅
My wife is a Galway girl from Ireland and your descriptions of provincial Filipinas you describe in your blogs matches her pretty closely. You should explore that.
Glad to hear you're doing well and happy. LDR's are hard, trust me I know, but you will be fine. I hope he treats you like the princess that you are even if you don't see it. I wish you years of joy and happiness. You deserve it. Take care.
Philippine women are unique in nature by heritage, family relations and religion. If a man understands to adjust as she is adjusting to your nature I think it is necessity. Any person can be a little neurotic, insecure in relationships. Thais have the strong feeling of “face” about as close to machismo in southwestern U.S. To Americans not telling the truth when questioned in Thai society is to save face - equate that as showing a lack of knowledge - is to lose self honor (face). To Americans that is lying when to a Thai it is “saving face”.
@@TheFilipinaPea thank you. You, in my poor opinion, are one of those gracious ladies of the world of which I have had the meager pleasure to know but a very, very few. That is why my stories have more macho male characters … even the vile, contemptible, evil ones … I came to know them more as studied people. I wish I knew more intimately females better … not necessarily sexual but inner characters. Of my three marriages I came to know one vindictive, street fighter wife, a down to earth what I call a warm, farm gal and now an angel Asian woman that stands up for what she believes in her own, cultural way that I appreciate and respect highly.
After watching this I have definitely decided that a Filipina woman is definitely for me we share many similarities thank you so much for this vlog Miss Pea ❤️
Not admitting a mistake or they were wrong I think is a women thing it seems to be the same everywhere, but they love to hear men admit when they are wrong. It’s music to their ears 🤣 . I’ve been trying to convince my adult son to come check out the Philippines with me I hope this won’t create a jealousy issue for either of us .
Dear Ms Pea; you may be the best ambassador the Philippines has ever had! I like watching your program, even though I doubt I’ll ever make it down there. I’m 68 years old and have some health issues that would probably make me ineligible for a Philppina. Once heard an old philosopher say “we get too soon old and too late smart”. But I do wish that western women would be more respectful of men and I really, really like your comments
Food and family meals are a concern for me in relocating to SEA. I eat once a day for different reasons. I worked too hard to lose a lot of weight, to solve a health issue, and to keep my metabolism going strong just to have someone ruin it by expecting me to eat for her--emotional well being.
Of course. My most interesting difference is mixing metric and US customary. Filipinas use inches if small, then meters and km for larger distance. I asked when they use which system, like inches if less than a meter? They don't realize they were doing than and have no idea when they switch to inches. It's like Tagalog and English gets mixed. Newer words, like tech words they don't bother to create a new Tagalog and instead just use English. They'll be speaking English and start mixing in Tagalog. Many languages do this but never heard it to this degree.
I’ve heard a few (male) vloggers lately saying ‘your Filipina never really loves you, it’s just a transactional relationship etc etc ‘ Well, I absolutely reject this, I feel total loved, respected and cared for from my Filipina & I hope she feels the same about me (I’m sure she does ) I distinctly recall the second day after we met in person ( had been corresponding a few months) we were just watching tv on the couch, she just snuggled up and was massaging my scalp with one hand while we watched…just a simple but lovely gesture & I immediately knew I had found the one 😋
Nice video as always Pea. There is also a few other behaviours which are upside down. Hanging all the washing inside out is one. Sort of thing if done deliberately could cause a marriage breakdown with a western lady but apparently that's cultural.
Hello Pea!.. You gave great info on being with a Filipina.. A Filipina I dated got so jealous of the attention I was getting in the mall that she wanted to conduct PDA which is frowned upon in the Philippines..
As a minister's son I was amused about the comment where religion meets teen pregnancy, NOT because I find teen pregnancy amusing. In our church the belief was that young people would go out on Saturday night and sow their wild oats, and go to church Sunday morning and pray for crop failure....
Love your humor that you use in your videos! Good balance of adult humor while still being traditional. Of the things you mentioned, the toughest thing to deal with is the refusal to be honest and take responsibility. As to the question your heading posed, Filipinas are not too much different from other women and yes they are lol. All women have the same needs before indoctrination steps in. The security and other female needs are universal. Here in the west though, the ladies are indoctrinated at an early age toward feminism, so they figure out a way to force themselves away from the natural, traditional ways and needs. The other factors such as environment, poverty or riches, culture, and supply are certainly where alot of the Filipina behavior comes from, i believe. You explained that very well with the opportunity knocking reference. Some Filipinas still believe in traditional marriage values like the bible teaches and that is so beautiful. Like Proverbs says, a rare treasure. The showering of affection that you spoke of is a rare blessing. It's beautiful. So long as it doesn't turn into psycho sabotage from the jealousy aspect 😂 jealousy is natural, to some extent. God is a jealous God and we are made in His image, so there will be some measure of jealousy that's natural. I can't criticize someone for being made in God's image, unless it is taken so far to the point of destroying the relationship.
One of my good friends is married to a Pinay and they live in Texas now, but plan to move to the Philippines in the next several years. He says marrying her was the best move he ever made.
Pea you made me laugh when you said “ have you eaten yet” I have a very good friend in the Philippines. We chat every day. The first thing she asks is “ How are you?” Followed by “ have you eaten yet”😂 I have started to ask this too.😂 It’s little strange to me listening to someone that speaks better English than a large portion of Americans,saying Filipinas are shy because of their English.I know not all speak English as well. So I get it. “Image is everything” applies to Americans as well. I knew a girl that lived in a “ posh”apartment building but had absolutely no furniture and slept on the floor. But she could brag about where she lived. There are good and bad in every culture, but the loving, caring nature of “ good Filipinas” cannot be overlooked. Another great insightful video
Awesome, Pea!! This video put things into perspective for me👍 As you know, my wife is a Westernized Filipina; however, her behavior is very similar to what you are describing 😂. Your videos are a tremendous help to our relationship. In the last few years, I have come to understand my wife, and thanks to you our relationship enhanced. So even with 30 years under our belt, there is still room for learning 😄😄 Thank you, Pea!!❤ Hope your weekend goes well! Take Care😄👍🤙🇵🇭🇺🇲
I believe that its differential when it comes to culture, theres the base model, the childish, the mature and the sweet bit its in different ratios based on location
Ms. Pea, this was a fascinating video. Yes, in general, no man knows what's on a women's mind, women are from Venus, men are from Mars, and the classic is that men like to put things in little boxes while using one box at a time while women are so intertwined and connected. But you gave some useful hints on what you guys are thinking and acting with our cultural differences, especially the issue of saving face in the East. But I have one question, has your Significant other/LDR experienced any of this by you? Might be a good follow-up question from your Tuesday's video.
Well Done Pea great vlog … my Chinese wife has some of those qualities haha…and thank you for your good wishes for Australia Day… oh and you look pretty good in that Hooters Top 🤫🤫
Been married to a Filipina for 20 yrs. There have been rocky moments but we've managed to keep it together. The secret to our success? I decided early in the relationship, do I want to be right, or do I want to be happy? I choose happy 😊
This video was great, and timely (for me)! Because I have never talked to a Filipina before but -- after having watched you for some time -- I am getting ready to take the plunge and join the Christian Filipina website to start conversing with some. Thanks a million for your invaluable Filipina insight!! I won't be needing my water wings now, I'm confident to just jump right in. I hope there's a relationship lifeguard on duty (haha). 🏊♂️👙
You really have gotten good at production - professional quality now. I have over a decade in SE Asia. Filipinas are the best wife material in the area. I find both Vietnamese and Chinese women are very money focused - with Dallas style drama. Thai women are not as intelligent or good at conversation - I learned Thai at 13 so I know the language. There are always exceptions but as a general rule... You did a superb job outlining the mentality of your cultures female population. The women are not pushy, just delightful but easily hurt if one is not careful .
Yea, Ms. Pea, Happy Australia Day to our Aussie Friends. And ..... Happy Happy Happy ..... to ..... Mr. Melvin and Mrs. Alice Cortez in Mauban, my Son-in-Law and his Lovely Wife: Tks., much appreciative.
Pea: Your humor and information mix is always a bright spot to my day. Thank you. When you talked about being texted while on the throne asking "If everything came out OK" I had a good chuckle with that one. I could see that you were trying to slip that one through, but I found that it plopped into place quite well. Keep up the great work my friend!
That's why my wife goes overboard on the food she cooks when we invite people over. She's worried that something will run out (to avoid embarrassment).
Everything you mentioned in this video is why I want to marry a Filipina, Pea. I came there 3 Months ago and had a wonderful time. I didn't get into a relationship, but I'll be back in the summer, and I'll stay longer. Fingers crossed. Thanks for this information. It's more confirmation that I'm making the correct choice. Good day to you, Pea.

Random question because I keep wondering... How long does it take to wash your hair?
How to make Filipina happy? Feed her by rice and chicken 😆
Pea, everything you said is correct. I now have my Filipina and her daughter with me in the US. Although she misses her family she loves the fact that she makes more in a day working here than she did in 3 weeks in the Philippines.
Great content I plan on sharing with a few guy friends of mine!
@@devoutsalsait doesn't take mine long to wash hers, it takes longer (no pun intended) to dry it.
🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😅
Asking if a Filipina is different from an American woman is like asking if there's a difference between Filet Mignon and Braunschweiger.
Good one!
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍
Yum.
Thank you Pea for another pearl of wisdom.
So mustard is the key for American women? Hmm. 😅
Watching my twin brother married to a Filipina I have some knowledge. The one thing that puzzled me was my brother was in the Navy stationed in Guam he came back to port and she was at the port when he got off. She literally trailed him from the Philippines and they weren't even together yet. He figured he better marry her or he might not see the next day.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup, she’s a Filipina 👍
Jesus Christ nothing quite says "I want you" like beating your crush to his post
😂🤣😆
Crikey! She must have booked a flight, caught it and got from the airport to the dock at Guam... all while his ship sailed back!
@@Jimmy911ism Did I mention she was a bar girl. This was the early 90's where they have a 5 percent chance of working out. Today's bargirls it less than .000001 percent.
One thing I agree with is the fear of bad English. When I first met my wife's family, no one would talk to me because they were all afraid of sounding bad. When I spoke some awful Tagalog, everything changed. I tried, so that made them try as well. it also helped when I would lie to them and tell them their English was so good!
Then maybe the foreigners should speak only Tagalog at the gathering, and the women only English 🤣
When you're in love, there are no need for words, of any kind. lol
Feed the family some Red Horse and all of a sudden they speak English. It's a miracle 🤣
@@flyboyz2305 🤣🤣🤣
There are turn into fluent in english if got drunk 😁
@@waraymeinthephilippines Dont laugh at me: I am a native German speaker and when I have a presentation of a project in English I have to drink 2 whiskeys "on the rock" before,,🤣🤣
The topic ingenuity on Pea's channel is astonishing. She has broadcaster poise and pacing. Global TV is coming for her.
Well thanks for that, but I’m afraid I’d turn them down - this is enough for me 👍😊

@@Galahad54 now folks that just about says it all 😂😂😂
I totally agree 💯% I'm from the United States and now since seeing her video's I'm most definitely a big fan of hers she gets to the point of things the good and bad keep it real Filipina pea!
I marries a Dominican girl. Your culture and hers are almost the same. One of the biggest things that is important was our faith. That was number one. That is key to a good relationship. My wife is loyal to her family and she helps out her mom.We can afford to do so,but she knows that our family comes first and we are on the same page. If we were not we would not be married for very long.
Sounds very familiar 👍🤣
Do NOT agree. Not the same.
Some filipina's are savvy since the internet has come along, girls in the city are like western women thinks like being materlistic.
BTW love bombing from the start is a Red flag.
@@dustygetsdirty how so
Nothing wrong with your hooters 😂 love your blogs I have a Filipino girlfriend and you help me understand her more and most of what you say is nail on the head but I am happy with her beautiful attention. Always want her in my life. Thank you Pea A lot of Westerners don't understand the cultural differences but you do a great job in explaining.
Thanks Richard, that’s my job 👍👍❤️
@@TheFilipinaPeayou have a blog!? And hooters!? 😮😂
Wow, this is SOOOO Spot on! I met my Filipina sweetheart in the USA, had never dated Pinays before, but it's WONDERFUL! I wish I had years ago! We are both around 60, two marriages each and grown kids, worked overseas, and don't want to go out and date lots of people. She is a great cook, loving woman and 100% jealous when we are around her female friends!🤣🤣
You don't need to look like a Hooters girl, you are fine the way you are. Now, having said that, I can tell you from personal experience that my Filipina is dedicated to the relationship in ways I never had with other women in the past. The level of attention to my well-being is beyond my previous experience. When I met her, she had a beautiful 4 year old daughter and had been abandoned by the real father when she was just a baby, because his family made him marry another woman. Apparently for some reason, they didn't like my Filipina. Well, their loss was my gain. I helped put the daughter through school, which honestly was not a large expense, and she studies hard and wants to be a nurse. Now she calls me daddy and she is growing into a really beautiful lady and she got a scholarship to a special school. My Filipina has done a great job raising her despite the obstacles, financial and social that she faced. She even bypassed opportunities to work overseas so she wouldn't leave her daughter behind. I guess what is most gratifying is that she never forgets to remind me every day how she feels about me. Her daughter too is always thanking me for taking care of her and her mom and that she owes me a lot. I say they owe me nothing because I'm repaid every day with love and kindness. They both are always saying they love me. I never forget to return the sentiment. Can a man ask more than that from life? If there is a downside, it is canceled by the love and devotion I am experiencing.
Sorry to pry - and feel free to not answer - but do you live with her in the Philippines or did you bring her to the USA?
@@Jimmy911ism I did the petition thing and strongly warn against it. I met many Fil-West couples, most of the wives don't like "fun" with their husbands and only put on the act to get more babies and money for family. When they realize they can close shop in the bedroom, that happens too. Problem in PH is laws about living together especially with a child. I'm looking for a different country and culture now.
why do they want more babies? isnt that more work and restrictions on their freedom?@@bobbruce4135
I chose the Philippines because my SS goes much further there. I am back in the US now because of personal matters but will return as soon as I am done. @@Jimmy911ism
That’s so great and I think that is what we all desire
I had a decent understanding of most of this stuff, but the asking if a ate yet as a greeting did have me confused a bit. From the moment she knew our time difference and my typical schedule she is right on cue for my breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks Pea for clearing this up for me.
Thanks Quor! I’m always happy to hear that someone else has seen the behavior too 👍😊
Same here
Astonishing in your accuracy. Married to my Filipina going on 43 years. She's Visayan. First University graduate in her family. When we were young she exhibited nearly all of the traits you describe. With one notable exception. My wife was Never shy. She exhibited a self assurance that was different from any Filipina I ever met before her. Her English was excellent and she was not afraid to speak English to anyone. In fact, her whole family spoke excellent English and we're not shy speaking English at all.
everything you said is so true . my philippina wife and I have been married for 40 years . we are the same age and have lived through everything you said. but we have always put each other first, not each others families.
Great job
Insecurity in a partner is an issue for me, but I realize that it's not just about her being insecure, it's about all of the other things that her being insecure usually bring with it. In my experience, an insecure woman tends to show her insecurity through unpleasant displays of jealously and anger and pouting (tampo). One of the most important things to me it have have peace in a relationship, and I don't find it peaceful to be assailed by constant bouts of jealousy, anger, and pouting. I draw a line from all of these things back to insecurity and try to address them all by either avoiding insecure women or helping her to feel secure. Although my attempts to cure women's insecurities have all failed so far.
Yeah all the clingy behavior, jealousy, and insecurities, would drive me away. I’m not one to put up with anger, and jealousy. I’m not putting up with a temper tantrum from some woman because in her head I’ve done something wrong, but haven’t. It’s just her runaway imagination.
Your attempts will always fail 🤣
Thanks for the input 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea I think that you're right about that. I'm fairly certain that if the insecure woman doesn't decide to deal with her insecurity for herself, that there's nothing that a man will be able to do to cure it. But this raises an interesting question... How does a guy (who doesn't want to deal with the peace destroying side effects of insecurity) go about finding a Filipina (or any woman) who has already dealt with her insecurities? Or is there a way that an insecure Filipina can mitigate the side effects of her insecurity? You said in your last video (where you were interviewed for a change) that you want to give peace to a man in your relationship, and you have also said that insecurities among Filipinas is virtually universal. So how do you reconcile the insecurities that you're struggling with (as a Filipina) with your desire to give peace in a relationship?
@@jeffbateman3620 well first of all, i don't think you're looking in the best place for comprehensive answers to your very legitimate question/s which actually are important beyond the realm of romantic relationships... i intend to eventually have a channel where i 'professionally' answer questions like these in this kind of context, but suffice for now to say that your intuitions are spot on about this phenomenon not being exclusive to pinay, and about the inherent 'contradictions' of making a relationship like that 'succeed'
PEA,
I've learned that what u've said about Filipinas saving face is TRUE...
Well I’m glad I was correct, but I’d probably be sad about the circumstances. Saving face is ridiculous 😳
Common amongst most Asians!
This whole video is pretty much spot-on. My Filipina drives me up a wall, sometimes, but I love her dearly, anyway, and when she's at her best, there is no one better for me ♥️
I've seen quite a few provincial girls turn into city girls rather quickly. Also she went from having morena skin tone to having a skin tone that's so white she practically glows in the dark. She also went from a conservative to the knee dresses to spandex that barely covers anything. She went from doing her vlog similar to your videos, to talking about the size of bananas .
how does that happen?
She’s for the streets 😂
She has an ATM now and can buy what she wants and for her greedy family.
Always love your videos. Japan, China, Korea and most of southeast asia, all have the custom of "saving face". They will either deny or deflect responsibility. Take care and see you Tuesday.
It can really upset foreigners, who are willing to admit their mistakes 👍😊
I'm so glad I joined the University of Pea, The course on Filipina behavior studies with Professor Pea is the best! Doesn't hurt that she is easy on the eyes too. ;) lol All joking aside thank you for all your hard work to bring us all into the know for better understanding between us and our Filipino counterparts as well as learn a bit of the culture too...hmmm think I'm in Professor Pea's Filipino Culture 202 course now! lol ;) Have a good day and God Bless!
I’m glad I found your channel. I love watching your videos. You are so stunningly beautiful and very intelligent. You have a great sense of humor and your intelligence doesn’t go unnoticed. I hope you find the right person for you. Any man that can call you his girlfriend is definitely a lucky man. You are an amazing woman and deserve nothing but the best. ❤
Oh yes I'm first thumbs up already let's start the great show.
You also got the gold medal, Boogie! 🥇
Hello Pea, yes I can relate to all you are saying , if a you want a good relationship with a Filipina you must learn to be tolerant and patient and the benefits are wonderful . Good video thanks Pea.
Thanks Shaun! ❤️😊
Hi i been watching your videos since i started dating my Filipina and they really helped me understand and be a better understanding partner to her. So thank you so much for the videos
P.S i married that same Filipina two months ago
This explains a lot with all the Filipinas ive made friends with. I will say i enjoy talking with them tremendously. Im always respectful and love that they have a good sense of humor. Because iblove to joke around.
I have been married to a Filipina for more years than Pea has lived. We moved to Cebu last year and the mate guarding really kicked in. It did surprise me. We are in our 70s. What's up with this? You're right food food food. It's a miracle I don't weigh 150 kilos.
One thing that I can verify is the saving disagreements for the home and they can get heated. It definitely surprised me the first time. But once you get the hang of communicating better, they begin to largely mellow out
I believe women outside of the US are different period. I don't know what it is, but this place changes people.
Right by my side is right. I hadn't seen my wife and son since before the pandemic and I visited them in December. The first two weeks were magical but then I became so sick I spent five days in a third world hospital.
My Filipina and my son stayed beside me the whole time. She slept on a not very comfortable cot and he made a bed on the floor. Hospital staff doesn't do very much for their patients so I'm happy they were there for me.
Also I had more than 30 visitors during my stay which would never happen in the USA
did they tell you the cause of your illness? was thinking of visiting just trying to get prepared for unexpected health issues
@@regnorse acute bronchitis. I've been there six times and never gotten sick before.
wow were you told what made the difference this time?@@user-mj9zx9ny5m
The way Pea describes Filipina's makes me want to date one. Being taken care of when I'm ill / injured instead of being relied on will instantly make me fall in love.
Thanks Pea ❤️ your videos are very helpful because I have a lady there too that I've been talking to for over a year in the Philippines love the work you do
Then you’re the type of person I made this video for 👍❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea yes I feel so good knowing you put all this hard work in your videos thinking of me 😂😂😂❤️❤️lol have a bless knight
Make it prove its a woman first man birth certificate
@@karlcauckwell2947 be careful man. Meet in person, internet can be dangerous. Hope you haven’t sent too much money. If you have, chances are you are not the only one. Keep your wits
I cant wait to get there. I went from high school straight to the Air Force to try to get there. But couldnt make my plans for early retirement work if i went there young. Now im here 11 months away from my goal of a life in paradise with the people i fell in love with like 30 years ago. I missed retired at 50 by one year. It will be 3 weeks after my 51st bday. My kids are set and working on their own goals. All my ex wives are happily destroing the lives of some other poor sucker. No alimony no child support everything is or will be paid off soon. My homecoming will be no strings attached.
You've taught me so much that i will always be eternally grateful. Thank you so much Pea. With love and virtual hugs from the states 😊
Great insights Pea😉 In my opinion that famous line from the movie Forrest Gump fits this topic perfectly. You could substitute the word "Life" with "Filipinas" to read "Filipinas are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get".🤣🤣🤣
@TheFilipinaPea >>> Regarding what you said starting at about 10:08 in this video:
I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. We had a neighbor couple, the wife was Canadian and the husband was from Italy.
I lived in Dade County, Florida from 1988 to 1995. I heard ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT ACCENTS there.
I have been living in northeastern North Carolina since 1995. Plenty of Southern-ish accents here, too.
As long as I can understand what you are saying, an accent is a non-issue for me.
I’m just 7 minutes into this video and Pea you are 1000% on point.
Thanks Vonmoe 👍😊
Hi Pea. Great video and most of this I did already know. Comes from living here and observing what goes on with most couples. I have always treated women with respect no matter where I am. I just had a 3 month relationship with a Filipina that I treated very well but due to a couple of bad relationships in her past she thought all guys were the same and did not treat me very well so back to the drawing board. Always enjoy your videos so keep them coming. Keep smiling and stay safe
You are always so right Pea. So many things you explain that I recognize and some I never figured out by own experience.
Thank's for a very good channel of information and entertainment. 😊
I started talking to a Filipina almost 2 months ago and wanted to learn more about her, I started watching your videos. I have mentioned our 18 year age difference to her a few times and always says it doesn’t bother her. She will be 31 and I’ll be 49 this year. She is working abroad in Saudi Arabia and I’m in the US. She’s from the country outside(30 min) Bacolod. She too loves your videos, they help us both to understand each other. Because of my military pension, I have thought about moving to PI, I take in over $2k, or ₽110k per month. I appreciate your advice and insight in your videos. Keep up the good work.
Excellent insights Pea ! You have really unlocked the door to confusion on a number of issues. Particularly about public arguments. Thanks for your advice !
Pea you are spot on with many of these things. Don't forget the pictures of food. I try to explain to my family that taking pictures of vast amounts of food is a sign of wealth. Most people in the USA would not understand that.
Pea, I've loved your channel for years. You've become more polished and even better over time.
This episode was so good I watched it twice & am saving it to watch again after sharing it my lady in your town. It will be good to talk about.
I'm not in the market, but I love watching the Pea. She is just so much fun and funny.
Sorry i'm late. Been at the vets.

And please remember not to lick the bandages - it takes a while for a neutering to heal 🤣
@@TheFilipinaPeaHahaha😂
Just found your channel. Im really glad your still making videos for us new guys/girls, Guy here. Thanks again!
Filipino speak awesome English even out in the province I think Filipinos are probably some of the best English speakers next to Americans don't ever feel embarrassed Filipinos we love to be able to speak to you and we think that your English is awesome
If you think Americans speak proper English (and I am an American), you are sadly confused. The use of the English language in this country has declined drastically in the last few decades, as the schools move away from teaching the language, in favor of more emphasis on "diversity". If the average Filipino has the English skills of Ms. Pea, they are far ahead of the average American.
I think it depends where they go and live. Here french and german are by far more important. People do not use english at all in my country - almost. Only if they really have to and than they often do not like it.
@@johnjones5354 Absolutely correct!!
@@johnjones5354 I don't know it all depends where you are at I have a friend of mine and his daughters only seven she speaks English and Spanish fluently and is going to be learning French so it's all depends where you're at and how you push your children there are lazy majority of wedlock children out here and it's a shame but there's nothing we can do about that but the most that are being brought up right or very smart what the technology that they've been given in this country
@@steelcitytv I rest my case. Look at the written description for this video. Composed by a non native English speaker. Then compare it to the above. The introduction is clear, concise, well thought out, properly formatted and punctuated. The above response, written by an alleged native English speaker, is none of those things. Fluency in a language entails more than just oral use of that language.
Pea, I must say "you do it better than anyone else". We need to do a better job of spreading the news. My problem is my lack of friends. Just a few close ones. All the others know I'm crazy & never listen. I'll keep telling them to view & learn. Great job again.
We all know there is a difference. As a matter of fact, even crossing state lines in America. You Filipinas are in a class all by yourselves. Happy Friday Pea.
Exactly! I noticed a big difference between Florida women and North Carolina women - dress, speech, attitudes 👍
@TheFilipinaPea so in my travels, it's like going to Baskin-Robbins ice cream. You got 31 flavors, and you can mix and match. 😉
Your English is excellent! Better than many living in the USA! The women should not be afraid to speak in English we are here to help[ you so don't be shy, just do your best and trust us to help with the rest! Thanks, my friend! Take care and God bless everyone. Love you all. David
Another fabulous insightful offering.
I’m very happy to have your vote 🤣👍
I just watched this video for the second time and it reminded me of why I was so impressed with your videos when I first began watching them. Your intelligence in general was impressive but your knowledge of Philippine culture, Western culture and human psychology is extraordinary.
❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
What you talked about reminded me of many western women who prefer appearance, but also reminded me of the US in the 50’s , and interesting dynamic Pea!
I’ve heard the 50’s comparison so often that I have to believe it 👍👍👍
Thank you Pea.
We had a good celebration for australia day.🎉
Another great video Ms Pea. The humour is sprinkled throughout. Thanks Pea
Thanks for recognizing it as humor, Mike 👍🤣
Hi Pea, another great video that's entertaining. Everything you said is 100% true. I know that first hand and experience it daily. Even our dog is treated special. Thank you!
Hi Pea, I think the lack of confidence in the language skills is one thing but I've also noticed so many women who think they're not thin enough or describe themselves as ugly when they're clearly not. It seems as though they're comparing themselves to some high standard that they can never reach 😒
Oh we definitely do compare ourselves to an impossible beauty standard 🥺👍
Is hair on the lip a Filipina thing?
try Greeks Italians and Iranians if thats your thing@@Jimmy911ism
I joined a filipino dating site and was talking to an older filipino woman and she asked me about mine and as I told here other than my 2 kids I looked out for my Sister in Law as after my wife died she had no other family, all of a sudden she issued and ultimatum that I have nothing to do with the sister in law or she was done lol and as I explained to her I promised my wife on her death bed that I would be there if she needed help! the woman i was talking to went ballistic when i said i would not break my promise and said some really bad things about my deceased wife that she could never take back! this video explains a lot about why!! But is ended the relationship as she crossed a line she could never come back from! Thanks for the info it explains a lot but still no excuse lol
Because I was aware of the jealousy issue with Philippinas, having learned it from this channel and others, I knew once I met a girl I knew I like and believed I could potentially spend years ahead together....I sat her down VERY early on and had the discussion of jealousy and said flat out! It is the number one deal breaker and she would be fired on the spot as a future wife for doing acts of jealousy, my little sweet Asawa actually made the right choice by NOT acting out on jealousy. Making it clear I'm a "hugger" and I don't discriminate on young old or even some of my men friends that she can expect I may go in for a hug! To top that off I'm 6'3" 240lbs which is a big boy in the Philippines and certainly doesn't go un noticed when that happens... hahhahah. All that being said she has handled my friendliness and kindness very well and has shown very little to no jealousy so far...
So in my opinion, make some rules, talk about it early and move on if you find a crazy jealous one... just like that CRAZY one on 90 day fiance show...she is shaking her ass for the camera and posting that garbage while being very jealous to that poor kid! When their that jealous it's because they are the one to worry about!
I am getting so much from your video's. Thank you!
The Pea is amazingly intelligent, that in itself is a very attractive trait!
She's got the whole package - the brains and the good looks!
OK you’ve talked me into it. I started watching your videos cause believe it or not your sense of humor, but stayed because of the information mixed with humor and now I think do I need to date a Filipina it seems like I’m missing one of the wonders of the world if I don’t… thanks for your videos, I always look forward to them
I experienced a flipping Filipina, caught me off guard 100%, I got shocked beyond my minds imagination. Best of luck trying to date a Filipina on a LDR. It’s best to meet a Filipina in person to discuss properly the personality characteristics and wants and needs. Great comments Pea and explaining the Filipinas personality, now I understand completely everything I need to know for my future, LOL 😂❤🙏😉👨🏼
My marriage to my Filipina wife is the result of an LDR. That was what everyone who wanted a Filipina wife did, in those days. And in those days, you didn't meet online either (there was no Internet Dating then - in fact, when I first wrote to a Filipina, there was no Internet). It was snail mail and long distance phone calls. 24 Wedding Anniversaries later, and still counting.
@@CraigRodmellMusic everything has changed 2024 is the new norm, you wouldn’t be able to understand this new scene, unless you get someone to show you how the games are played. 95% are not what they portray who they are or their appearance is altered, and their intentions are sketchy at best. Scammers everywhere online lying, trying to con you with your trusting heart and good will. Keep your money in your wallet, even after you meet them guard your private information and financial information. They are the professionals your the target 🎯
Oh by the way I love your personality and who you are. You are what I call a down to earth type of woman. By that I mean you are a loving kind woman that is concerned about the simple things in life and you don't look for the material things in life. I hope you know what I mean.
Interesting! If all women were the same, life would be simpler, but much more boring. The question of when you get introduced to parents is a tricky one, I remember my nerves on going to my ex's house for the first time and meeting her (very strict, Catholic) Mum and Dad). I wonder if it's easier via social media? I'm all for the closeness thing. I have really strong opinions about cheating either way, one partner at a time! Thanks Pea!
Oh if you can get away with just a video call - do that! 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video Pea! My girlfriend definitely keeps me tied to the phone! We talk on the phone for at least 5 hours a day if not more! Early on in our relationship my girlfriend was so afraid I was going to leave her! She had a bad relationship with an American before, and I assured her often that I was going to be there thru thick and thin! When it comes to English, early on in our relationship my girlfriend would talk extremely fast and sometimes I would miss something she said so I would just nod! After she became more and more comfortable her English is as good as mine! Same with her family! Her sister and nephew initially didn't say too much to me English wise, but it only took a couple of weeks before they really opened up! My most interesting encounter was when I went to greet her friends with a hug! They looked so shocked! They were expecting a handshake and here comes a hug!
I ran into much of what you speak of when I met a Filipina online. Everything was fine until I added her to my friends on Facebook. She immediately went through my friends list and told every single female to go away that I was hers now. This included included my cousins, sister-in-law, niece and and several other people that have been important to me over the years. Needless to say the relationship didn't last much longer after that
Sorry, but I actually laughed at your comment. She's like marking her territory 😅.
But I completely understand her behavior. I'm Filipino and male Filipinos do that too, but not to that extent like sending DM to everyone. That's extreme 😂. Posting one or two pics intimate together, or updating relationship status should be enough most of the time.
There's even a colloquial term for that in the Philippines actually. We call it "binabakuran" or putting a fence around somebody. It's like advertising to the world that he/she and the significant other are together and anybody who would attempt to snatch his/her price would be dealt with 😅
My wife is a Galway girl from Ireland and your descriptions of provincial Filipinas you describe in your blogs matches her pretty closely. You should explore that.
Glad to hear you're doing well and happy. LDR's are hard, trust me I know, but you will be fine. I hope he treats you like the princess that you are even if you don't see it. I wish you years of joy and happiness. You deserve it. Take care.
Thanks Allen (but we’re just dating) 👍😊
@@TheFilipinaPea I still hope everything goes well for you, you deserve to be happy.
@@TheFilipinaPeaI was worried that double diamond pattern was not enough. Miss Pea you will have me planting a lot soon.
I like how you threw in the word "verboten"...it took me a second to be sure I heard you right.
Philippine women are unique in nature by heritage, family relations and religion. If a man understands to adjust as she is adjusting to your nature I think it is necessity. Any person can be a little neurotic, insecure in relationships. Thais have the strong feeling of “face” about as close to machismo in southwestern U.S. To Americans not telling the truth when questioned in Thai society is to save face - equate that as showing a lack of knowledge - is to lose self honor (face). To Americans that is lying when to a Thai it is “saving face”.
👍👍👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea thank you. You, in my poor opinion, are one of those gracious ladies of the world of which I have had the meager pleasure to know but a very, very few. That is why my stories have more macho male characters … even the vile, contemptible, evil ones … I came to know them more as studied people. I wish I knew more intimately females better … not necessarily sexual but inner characters. Of my three marriages I came to know one vindictive, street fighter wife, a down to earth what I call a warm, farm gal and now an angel Asian woman that stands up for what she believes in her own, cultural way that I appreciate and respect highly.
After watching this I have definitely decided that a Filipina woman is definitely for me we share many similarities thank you so much for this vlog Miss Pea ❤️
Not admitting a mistake or they were wrong I think is a women thing it seems to be the same everywhere, but they love to hear men admit when they are wrong. It’s music to their ears 🤣 . I’ve been trying to convince my adult son to come check out the Philippines with me I hope this won’t create a jealousy issue for either of us .
The only jealousy is if one of you found the perfect filipina 🤣👍
@@TheFilipinaPea hopefully both of us will lol
Dear Ms Pea; you may be the best ambassador the Philippines has ever had! I like watching your program, even though I doubt I’ll ever make it down there. I’m 68 years old and have some health issues that would probably make me ineligible for a Philppina. Once heard an old philosopher say “we get too soon old and too late smart”. But I do wish that western women would be more respectful of men and I really, really like your comments
Great video Pea. It's always good to learn about how the Filipina mind works
Food and family meals are a concern for me in relocating to SEA. I eat once a day for different reasons. I worked too hard to lose a lot of weight, to solve a health issue, and to keep my metabolism going strong just to have someone ruin it by expecting me to eat for her--emotional well being.
Of course. My most interesting difference is mixing metric and US customary. Filipinas use inches if small, then meters and km for larger distance. I asked when they use which system, like inches if less than a meter? They don't realize they were doing than and have no idea when they switch to inches. It's like Tagalog and English gets mixed. Newer words, like tech words they don't bother to create a new Tagalog and instead just use English. They'll be speaking English and start mixing in Tagalog. Many languages do this but never heard it to this degree.
Interesting point! I might have to use that in an upcoming video 🤣👍👍
I’ve heard a few (male) vloggers lately saying ‘your Filipina never really loves you, it’s just a transactional relationship etc etc ‘
Well, I absolutely reject this, I feel total loved, respected and cared for from my Filipina & I hope she feels the same about me (I’m sure she does ) I distinctly recall the second day after we met in person ( had been corresponding a few months) we were just watching tv on the couch, she just snuggled up and was massaging my scalp with one hand while we watched…just a simple but lovely gesture & I immediately knew I had found the one 😋
Nice video as always Pea. There is also a few other behaviours which are upside down. Hanging all the washing inside out is one. Sort of thing if done deliberately could cause a marriage breakdown with a western lady but apparently that's cultural.
Hello Pea!.. You gave great info on being with a Filipina.. A Filipina I dated got so jealous of the attention I was getting in the mall that she wanted to conduct PDA which is frowned upon in the Philippines..
We’ll go to any lengths 👍🤣
As a minister's son I was amused about the comment where religion meets teen pregnancy, NOT because I find teen pregnancy amusing. In our church the belief was that young people would go out on Saturday night and sow their wild oats, and go to church Sunday morning and pray for crop failure....
Great video Ms Pea, you hit the nail on the head on all counts. It did clear up some fuzzy areas on why they act like that. Keep rocking the videos 👍
Thanks Gerry! 👍😊
Love your humor that you use in your videos! Good balance of adult humor while still being traditional.
Of the things you mentioned, the toughest thing to deal with is the refusal to be honest and take responsibility.
As to the question your heading posed, Filipinas are not too much different from other women and yes they are lol. All women have the same needs before indoctrination steps in. The security and other female needs are universal. Here in the west though, the ladies are indoctrinated at an early age toward feminism, so they figure out a way to force themselves away from the natural, traditional ways and needs. The other factors such as environment, poverty or riches, culture, and supply are certainly where alot of the Filipina behavior comes from, i believe. You explained that very well with the opportunity knocking reference.
Some Filipinas still believe in traditional marriage values like the bible teaches and that is so beautiful. Like Proverbs says, a rare treasure.
The showering of affection that you spoke of is a rare blessing. It's beautiful. So long as it doesn't turn into psycho sabotage from the jealousy aspect 😂 jealousy is natural, to some extent. God is a jealous God and we are made in His image, so there will be some measure of jealousy that's natural. I can't criticize someone for being made in God's image, unless it is taken so far to the point of destroying the relationship.
One of my good friends is married to a Pinay and they live in Texas now, but plan to move to the Philippines in the next several years. He says marrying her was the best move he ever made.
Pea you made me laugh when you said “ have you eaten yet” I have a very good friend in the Philippines. We chat every day. The first thing she asks is “ How are you?” Followed by “ have you eaten yet”😂 I have started to ask this too.😂
It’s little strange to me listening to someone that speaks better English than a large portion of Americans,saying Filipinas are shy because of their English.I know not all speak English as well. So I get it.
“Image is everything” applies to Americans as well. I knew a girl that lived in a “ posh”apartment building but had absolutely no furniture and slept on the floor. But she could brag about where she lived.
There are good and bad in every culture, but the loving, caring nature of “ good Filipinas” cannot be overlooked.
Another great insightful video
Filipina women are beautiful ,loyal and the best cook’s.They love their family and children so much.
Awesome, Pea!! This video put things into perspective for me👍 As you know, my wife is a Westernized Filipina; however, her behavior is very similar to what you are describing 😂. Your videos are a tremendous help to our relationship. In the last few years, I have come to understand my wife, and thanks to you our relationship enhanced. So even with 30 years under our belt, there is still room for learning 😄😄 Thank you, Pea!!❤
Hope your weekend goes well! Take Care😄👍🤙🇵🇭🇺🇲
😂 Well, I appreciate the insight. You're a Pandora's box of great advice! 👍🏿
Hahahahaha
Not sure which way to take that 🤔🤣🤣🤣
@@TheFilipinaPea which part the box?, uh... take it how it resonates. 😉 #positivevibesonly
Appreciation to Pea's English skills. I love to listen to every word she enunciates, reminds me of 60's American English, very professional sounding.
I believe that its differential when it comes to culture, theres the base model, the childish, the mature and the sweet bit its in different ratios based on location
Good comment, Dante 👍😊
Peastradamus … Always with the knowledge always with the truth ❤
Ms. Pea, this was a fascinating video. Yes, in general, no man knows what's on a women's mind, women are from Venus, men are from Mars, and the classic is that men like to put things in little boxes while using one box at a time while women are so intertwined and connected. But you gave some useful hints on what you guys are thinking and acting with our cultural differences, especially the issue of saving face in the East. But I have one question, has your Significant other/LDR experienced any of this by you? Might be a good follow-up question from your Tuesday's video.
Thanks Keith! The only behavior of mine that would be on the list is the “it’s not my fault!” reaction, but I’m getting much better 🤣👍
Thanks for the Saying Happy Australia day 🇦🇺 Pea right back at you mate 👍
Well Done Pea great vlog … my Chinese wife has some of those qualities haha…and thank you for your good wishes for Australia Day… oh and you look pretty good in that Hooters Top 🤫🤫
Awesome P🌷《☆》Many Filipina behavioral or Misbehavioral traits really can be used to describe lots of American women I've known✌🏼😎☯️
Been married to a Filipina for 20 yrs. There have been rocky moments but we've managed to keep it together. The secret to our success? I decided early in the relationship, do I want to be right, or do I want to be happy? I choose happy 😊
This video was great, and timely (for me)! Because I have never talked to a Filipina before but -- after having watched you for some time -- I am getting ready to take the plunge and join the Christian Filipina website to start conversing with some. Thanks a million for your invaluable Filipina insight!! I won't be needing my water wings now, I'm confident to just jump right in. I hope there's a relationship lifeguard on duty (haha). 🏊♂️👙
You really have gotten good at production - professional quality now. I have over a decade in SE Asia. Filipinas are the best wife material in the area. I find both Vietnamese and Chinese women are very money focused - with Dallas style drama. Thai women are not as intelligent or good at conversation - I learned Thai at 13 so I know the language. There are always exceptions but as a general rule...
You did a superb job outlining the mentality of your cultures female population. The women are not pushy, just delightful but easily hurt if one is not careful .
Thanks Alex, especially from someone else that knows it 👍❤️
Thanks Pea ❤ from your Aussie 🇦🇺🌏 viewers.
Yea, Ms. Pea, Happy Australia Day to our Aussie Friends.
And ..... Happy Happy Happy ..... to ..... Mr. Melvin and Mrs. Alice Cortez in Mauban, my Son-in-Law and his Lovely Wife:
Tks., much appreciative.
True filipinos text a lot, but it is not too much. I agree on your view in this video, also the gossip part.
Pea:
Your humor and information mix is always a bright spot to my day. Thank you. When you talked about being texted while on the throne asking "If everything came out OK" I had a good chuckle with that one. I could see that you were trying to slip that one through, but I found that it plopped into place quite well.
Keep up the great work my friend!
I actually took a video call from my Filipina on the toilet! We had a laugh when she saw the background😊
That's why my wife goes overboard on the food she cooks when we invite people over. She's worried that something will run out (to avoid embarrassment).
Everything you mentioned in this video is why I want to marry a Filipina, Pea. I came there 3 Months ago and had a wonderful time. I didn't get into a relationship, but I'll be back in the summer, and I'll stay longer. Fingers crossed. Thanks for this information. It's more confirmation that I'm making the correct choice. Good day to you, Pea.
