    I can relate with gentleman with respect to possibly needing some sort of help as I get older. I'm 74, living with my son and his family, and in good shape so far. I've noticed my joints are stiffer now and I don't have the strength I used to have. I was asked to move in with them a few years ago so I wouldn't have to live by myself. And being on ss only, I could live by myself (single again for over 13 yrs now) but just existing without any transportation. I decided to move to the Philippines to live my remaining years, which I can with my ss, since I don't want my son and his family to be burdened with my aging self. I can hire a caretaker in the Philippines at a much lower cost and actually enjoy my life. I'm not planning on finding another partner at my age, but I'll find some expats to socialize with and compare stories with. My daughter in-law, a filipina, has family on Panay Island who want me to visit while I'm there. So, I'll have someone who can help me if I need any.

    I don't think that concerns about needing a caregiver when you are older are a good reason to get into a relationship. Much better to hire a trained caregiver when you need one. There is no guarantee that the young filipina you get into a relationship with will be willing or able to take care of you. Caregiving is hard, especially when people have physical or mental issues

    Many expats tend to come here, have a GF, she will take care of him until he's gone. Then leave her with nothing. She's left with his local debt, and she has no job. Here's my views: I don't want to be a room number in a US retirement home and have 10 people throughout the day taking care of me in my last days, I dont want my kid to feel obligated to visit me each week. So there are many quality women that are willing to care for you in your latter days with no demands. So just be a good man before you meet your maker and make sure you consider her needs before you are gone. She will be the one that takes care of your remains, communicate with your family etc..... Be kind!!!

    Ok Guys…the best way to age better is to change your diet. Keto/Carnivore…get rid of carbohydrates…stop drinking…stop smoking…walk, walk, walk, I lost 50 lbs in 2022, lost 4 pant sizes, got off 7 medications and have had the best blood test results ever. Two years and 7 months later I continue to eat healthy and walk 8-10 miles every other day and maintain my same weight.

    Whether it's a Philippina or Thailand woman, they tend to be quite jealous, and it requires a man to push back and to establish boundaries very early on, to make her aware of the fact that I don't do jealousy, and if you're going to do jealousy around me this is not going to work. Time is your ally, not hers. So she will push the timetable, and you need to push back. Take your time. If it is good, it will only get better, if there are issues, it takes time to see them and for them to play out. If you are unwilling to communicate about issues we have, then we have no chance. Zero, so do you understand that? Is it worth it to you, to deal with this? Because your avoidance and silence is intolerable. Do you get that?
    So she needs to adapt or move on. Tell her, look, I don't really need you, I like being around you, if things work great, but if you make this difficult for me I'm going to move on. They need to see, hear and feel that kind of pushback early on. You are able to determine whether or not this is a woman who is worthy of your time, and whether or not this is a woman who is capable of being the kind of person that you want to be with. If not, move on. It's really that simple.

    I’m single at 70 and thinking about this right now. On one hand I’d like to have a partner / companion but I’m uneasy what that will necessarily change about my life. I guess I’d say after past bad relationship experience I’m interested but cautious to enter into a full relationship because of what the demands may be - I’m starting to wonder if I just enjoy my life instead and accept that a typical relationship is no longer for me.
    I enjoy my life and like to help genuine people but have noticed my tolerance for drama and stress is way lower now. I guess that’s a part of aging. Time will tell but I think the debate is a good one and much needed.

    Another area many of you might consider is Latin America - still tropical, nice looking ladies, and closer to home. SE Asia might be better for cost of living but if you're looking to eventually marry a lady, you can, in many LATAM countries, acquire citizenship through marriage, something I don't think is possible when marrying SE Asian ladies. For example, if after marrying a Brazilian you live in the country for 1 year, you can acquire Brazilian citizenship ... after just 1 year! (It. takes 10 years in Canada to do the same!) And even better, if your Brazilian spouse has parents or grandparents that are either Portuguese or Italian (many do), after just 3 years of marriage you can acquire either one of these 2 EU citizenships and passports without even stepping foot in either of those two countries. Just one little extra thing to consider ...

    As a 62 year old that doesn't wish to spend his last 3rd of life in America, I've thought about this a lot. Since I'm unsure if I will find someone to put up with me and vice versa, I've decided to hire nursing students to take care of me until I can no longer function and then go into an elder care location until I pass. Of course that assumes I will live that long. If I should meet that one, she will be taken care of for the remainder of her days as I will setup a trust for her to be paid either yearly or monthly. If you pay most women a lump sum, they will squander it rapidly, and then she'll be on the streets as an older woman, and we don't want that. I'm really happy that you made this vlog. Let's me know I'm not the only one thinking about that.

Your alone private time can be worked out. Tampo and jealousy can be worked as well. Expectation, wants, and needs can be worked out. It takes time and communication with another person who's also willing to mesh and work things out. Be a leader. Too many guys expect to be worshipped and pampered but forget it takes effort to be a good leader and teacher. Some sacrifices must be made. Ongoing relationship counseling and couple's retreats are a must. That's how to be a hero, not with money.

    What sets a marriage apart?
    Holiness. Sanctity. Innocence.
    If you can buy it. If you can own it, then it can’t be holy.

    Living alone on 6 acres surrounded by 1,000's of acres of Sate land I really enjoy my solitude. I talk to maybe one other person a week. That said, I enjoy to company of others and most particularly the companionship of a good girl. While I could see myself happy in either circumstance my preference would be to find a good and caring partner. The trick is finding and properly vetting a good girl to ensure she is physically appealing, truly loyal/trustworthy, and respectful. There are probably 10s of thousands of Filipina that would find me an attractive partner and could still meet my criteria, so once I regain full control of my life I could see myself developing a long term relationship with someone from a good family. Building that type of life with others sounds richer and more fulfilling than plan B of a city condo within easy reach of a caregiver and the hospital. I will put Plan B in place, but more with the expectation as a 'fall-back' plan. But that's just me. Peace and Love, B Goat

I am bringing small tiny cameras to 😅protect my belongings from thievery etc. Also, having been a MSW ( Master Social Work) and worked in hospice there is a role for social workers to monitor the care an older sick person receives.

      You're right, and you have to look at the date of birth for a realistic estimation of your life expectancy. The interviewee is 63 I believe, so born in 1961. Life expectancy for an American male from that year is about 67. But that's averages. Interesting is to look at the remaining life expectancy if you're already 63, and then it looks more optimistic. On average for a USA male it's about 20 years. So the guest is not far off.

    Hopefully, if the elderly expat does his part by setting up his spouse of financially, the younger Filipina will do her part when the elderly expat becomes too infermed to take care of himself.

    All so confusing. It seems that in the Philippines, most of the relationships/marriages are with young Filipinas and much older men. Western woman would never entertain this situaton unless he was one of the many older men that have retained good looks, good body, financially sound and confident in all that makes him special. The Filipina sees these older men differently and she is able to overlook his age and how he looks because he will be able to provide for her and give her a good life. The much younger foreigner provides a different scenario, but the older foreigner is the one that can provide financial security for her and her family. Will things change where the Filipina will turn to favor the much younger man and connect with love on a whole different level.................I would think so and social media will be the active player.

    Then he goes onto state he is holding US citizenship over the woman’s head as leverage for her to stay with him. That’s great until she gets it and then drops this guy like a rock.
    And he is going to do all this and hand most of his assets over to her and forsake his children. So sad that this is what it comes down to for this guy to get a woman.
    Don’t be this guy in the Philippines or anywhere else for that matter.
    Chad, I think you screen your interviews. You continually have the same type of expats on. Low value, low worth, low self esteem expats that don’t respect themselves and are willing to throw caution and their future to the wind and they are going to come out the other end miserable and bankrupt. And Chad please don’t be insulted but from someone like me who sees this from the outside looking in I have a different perspective, and to be honest these expats are an extension of you.
