The dating sites are bad now. I first tried the dating sites in 2016. A guy I worked with had an uncle that married a woman from the Philippines. I was curious so I checked out a few dating sites. I got tons of attention and I would say 80% of the girls were legitimate and looking to meet someone. Lots of very nice women. I was off these sites after 2017. Last year I went on them again, it is abysmal. Now 90% are scammers, working girls, or are just fake profiles. The quality of women is also way down. Don’t waste your time. If you don’t have a plan to go to Philippines soon and be able to live there, then there is no point chatting on dating sites. Dating sites for far away countries really are pointless.
So many times while I'm with my Filipina in Cebu, waitresses, receptionists and others ask my gf where we met and do I have any single friends that they could meet. No shortage of good Filipinas here Reekay.
You raise a good point that works anywhere and even outside of dating - that is to tap into someone else's network. The Philippines society is very networked and is an unlocked potential of finding a good Filipina. It just takes time and persistence.
Approaching women in public has always worried me a bit because she might have a bf but lies to you about it. Some Filipino men are very possessive and quick to temper and the last thing I want is a PO'd guy in my face thinking I'm trying to steal his woman. Has that ever happened to you, if so how did you and the Filipino handle it ? Do you have any experience with Christian Filipina ? They supposedly vet the women and quickly delete the scammers though nothing can prevent her from lying about having a bf as well. I've followed you for years and your videos have really improved recently, thanks for all your help.
I’ve been using messenger with a Filipina for over 7 years. She is a good Believer, never asked me for a penny for those years. Just a pen pal. A school teacher of elementary. She is good
I have to disagree with not utilizing the dating sites! If the sites are used correctly, you can profile a particular woman on the site that can initially meet all of your criteria. Now sending money to a woman based upon your interactions on a dating site is a really bad idea. For instance if your looking for a woman in a certain age bracket, or a woman who is single, never married, or a woman without children. If this woman's profile matches this criteria, you then have a good start. I absolutely agree that you need to get the boots on the ground and meet this person asap. I think to make a blanket statement of not to use the dating sites is not being realistic when most of these men live thousands of miles from the Philippines. I would also recommend to use the sites that may have a monthly fee, these sites seem to be managed much better and I believe they can actually eliminate some of the scammers.
using a dating site assumes there are enough sincere seekers out of the thousands the site tells you fit your criteria. it's like saying, "well... it may be like looking for a needle in a haystack but that needle is in there somewhere and i'm gonna find it." that's not a good use of time or resources. i can, and i have so many, many times, taken a walk with the intent of seeking a new relationship and it usually didn't take me more than 4 hours, often less. no subscription price. no weeding through pointless chats. i saw the woman i wanted and 99% of the time, got her number and the ball was rolling. all this stuff written on dating sites like, "seeking serious only" means jack-diddly-squat. the only time i used a dating site was when i wanted short-time fun and i wanted her at my place within a few hours. miss-"seeking serious only" was at my place by nightfall. those bios don't mean a thing. but, do what you want. if i don't convince you.. the lackluster results for a good, solid relationship at the dating sites will.
Dating sites are ok if u really understand the culture, have spent significant time here and know how to quickly screen the bad ones or the ones not truly interested in a relationship. Buy for a guy tjats never been to tje Philippines or just arrived the dating sites are a full mine field... But once u are here a while and understand how things work there is no need for dating sites.... So i agree with reekay totally....u can't understand how it works here in the Philippines until u get here, watching vidoes doesn't do it, and get out on the steets and out in the provinces and learn how things work, then finding a good girl is easy.
very true. now, because dating sites are women who are focused on easy money.. its only real value is in locating women looking to earn a few bucks the easy way.
Thank you Master 😁. I will expose my ego to some possible rejections. The worst that can happen is : "sorry sir, I have a boyfriend". Not that bad after all 😅
I want on a dating site found a lady I liked, but she wasn't interested in a relationship because of age difference. She did however like the idea of friendship. So we are friends now, that was during lockdown. We shared our stories and personal lives with eachother. I also became involved with helping her sister with a problem. (Not financially). After a couple of year's of not chatting. My friend is now married and living in the USA. I'm now dating her sister. So not met this lady through a dating site directly. I won't go into details. But I've practically saved this lady life.
@@christaylor7049 I actually think more than ever, because so many good province girls are more willing to date foreigners because they have internet access and can learn about the world and other filipinas who date foreigners, outside their village, which makes lots of them more willing to give it a shot
the two filipinas shown at the 5:11 mark, all I did was look her in the eye and gave her a slight smile. you can see how she responded. meeting filipinas is so much different than the way it is, "back home" in the west.
After spending 6 months there last year i found its super easy to get a date if you are a normal western guy ,, If your clean, look nice and not drunk its easy to find woman to chat with and get to know.
I agree with. My girlfriend was one of the exception that was a good woman but I met her on the dating while in the Philippines her location was not set to the US because she was not looking for a foreigner, a lot of Filipinas that looks for foreignes put their locationto a foreign country. Also, Filipinas get jealous of others when they see other girls with expats getting stuff, so they go on the dating sites to get an expat and expat kind of created the getting scammed for money since they are so desperate and send money very quickly
I appreciate the reassuring statistics as someone new to knowing about the Philippines. Perhaps the youtube scene has grown a lot over there and that's causing the false perception of less opportunity for guys?
I've been going there often since 2008. Since 2018 everyone's got a smartphone. Used to be the women want to compete with the girls in their barangay, that's over, now it's global hypergamy.
Could it be that it’s just different now? Perhaps a sincere filipina is more cautious regardless if approached directly or online? I would think the average filipina, big city or small, is now much more informed, being that they’re all on Facebook and other platforms thus making them more unpredictable. It’s an additional element in the equation for courtship. Then again, what would a married man like me know who hasn’t dated in 22+ years…
i bump into filipinas in town almost daily. they are friendly, approachable and open to conversation same as back in 2012. it is the online 'divas' and scammers you meet in-person that are cold to you, unless you're looking to spend money on them.
local filipino men, there are over 51-million of them. but not many are considered "good earners" or not-cheaters. as for younger filipino men, filipinas I dated said they'd rather have a foreigner because young filipino men are too irresponsible, no income, and known as serial cheaters for the most part. the ones that are ambitious, motivated, working a good job are usually taken.
@@Lifebeyondthesea Thank you. In the political climate here in the states... they are looking at taking these benefits away... so worry a little about making the move and the USA messes us veterans over. Also... looking at Cebu or Manila area as they have Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and gyms. Also the Church I attend here in the states has affiliates there as well. Any thoughts???
@@ChristKrew-Rev1.8 The worst that would happen with SSA or SSDI is benefits cut of 20 to 25% if SSA fund keeps depleting at current rate. I wouldn't worry about Vet benefits. That aside, my concern is the unstable world banking system. Banks have been acting like casinos. There's just too much debt and crazy investment vehicles that may collapse and take down the entire system. Bailouts and rate cuts only work to a point and when they don't work anymore, then the system just collapses. I just don't know that I'd feel comfortable living in a thirld-world Country if/when that happens. If banks go down en-masse here in the states, imagine what banking would be like in the Phils.
I think there is more scammers even on a highly recommended site I know there is more scamming experts on the internet and therefore more women with nothing so they want to do that also! I believe there is still a good possibility to meet someone like you say Reekay great video👍
Question regarding the women at 5:11, but in more of a general sense. Do they look and smile because you're a foreigner or because you have a camera? I don't vlog and will not be walking around with a camera constantly
Great Advice Reekay. If a guy is going to look on the dating sites he almost has to take a class on how to figure out the red flags of the bad ones. Most guys haven't done all that so it opens them up to be preyed on by scammers. Also out of those 85% of good women you would meet in person, how many do you think are already open to dating a foreigner? Or Is it like many of them were not looking for a foreigner until they were approached by one and then they changed their mind? Thanks
@Imold774 no. i dated so many filipinas, for years, without kids because that was my criteria... 8s, 9s, and 10's. given a choice they chose to date me. i never had one say 'no' to be with a local guy. i even had several drop their local guy to be with me.
I convinced my friend to come to Philippines to meet a Filipina he started a relationship with on Facebook. He’s a single father (has a daughter). The Filipina is matured (has grown kids). I’m waiting to hear back from him but I’m in Bali now. It may not be till August I see him again.
I dont think it is the competition I think it is the attitude shift. I was there in 2018 and 2019 and it was MUCH more friendly, women wanted me to ask them out. I think bad expats have ruined American reputation in Cebu from what it was in 2018 for sure.
Reekay what would you suggest for me? I’m 46 and life in the USA. I’ve visited the Philippines a few times between 2018 and 2020. I want a relationship so should I just wait till I’m able to be there full time which could be 10 years or just visit again an hope I meet a quality woman in a two week time frame that may end up being a ldr or just stay single. Since you suggested not meeting on the dating sites.
the smart thing to do is wait until you are living here, so you can build the relationship in-person. so much can be hidden/kept-secret during the 20-hours neither of you is online. i would view, in the meanwhile, visits to the PH as simply for short-term fun. of course that comes with the danger of wanting to keep it going with an LDR... and that's where the problems begin.
Does anyone know if doing fingerprints is required (protocol) for the SECOND time when u transfer your 1 yr. Probationary 13a over to your Permanent 13a visa w/BI ? Thank you.
Yes, in the Philippines, when you are transferring from a 1-year probationary 13a visa to a permanent 13a visa with the Bureau of Immigration (BI), fingerprinting is typically required again. The BI often includes fingerprinting as part of the process to ensure accurate and up-to-date records for all applicants.
considering the current 8 persons who have been discovered in govt office who turned out to be Chinese with stolen ID.. i expect this requirement to remain in place.
@@Lifebeyondthesea T/y. I ask cuz yesterday at BI (2-3hrs. away), me & asawa had face to face interview, submitted all ppwk. & paid fees for Permanent 13a & they made it seem like all was done as end of day approached (we're also there 2-3 hrs.) as we left. At home receipt mentions fingerprinting requirement. I don't know if it was oversight on there part or if it's even required though this was done year ago to get Probationary 13a. We have been trying to get in touch w/B.I.
a facebook dating app, yes. as i mentioned in the video, "some guys get lucky, even you might have found your wife online". in our case.. we only chatted a few hours and then met in-person the following afternoon. 3-months later we moved-in together. we spent 2-years getting to know each other, again... in-person, before i then asked her to marry me. been together coming up on 5-years now. :)
aside from the filipinas at the 5:11 mark, usually all the images in the vids i create with AI for illustrative purposes. i often try to pattern the AI model after the person discussed. in the PH.. i'd say about 6% are a 7 thru a 10. with maybe 1% being a 10. but, they are very approachable. using real women means getting model releases for each. not cost effective to be paying models for photo shots.
Your absolutely right dating sites are scammers and BS I met my girlfriend in person she was not looking for anyone nether was I you meet the old fashion way talk face to face
Its just human nature, things were ALWAYS better back in the day..not just dating in the Philippines.. but cars...music...etc etc. Just people growing older essentially.

How would we know if the women we meet in person, boots on the ground, don't also have open accounts on dating sites?
you spend time with them, daily. if she's on a dating site you ask her, "why are you on a dating site if we're in a relationship?"
Agreed
Alot of women in the Philippines have become modern western women!
Always someone talking about the good old days.
things are better now than before. a lot less expats in the PH now, 2024.

He’s a single father (has a daughter).
The Filipina is matured (has grown kids).
I’m waiting to hear back from him but I’m in Bali now. It may not be till August I see him again.

Didn't you meet your wife on a dating site? I believe you said you met her on Facebook dating, which is still a dating site.
a facebook dating app, yes. as i mentioned in the video, "some guys get lucky, even you might have found your wife online".
in our case.. we only chatted a few hours and then met in-person the following afternoon. 3-months later we moved-in together. we spent 2-years getting to know each other, again... in-person, before i then asked her to marry me.
been together coming up on 5-years now. :)
These are some beautiful women.
aside from the filipinas at the 5:11 mark, usually all the images in the vids i create with AI for illustrative purposes. i often try to pattern the AI model after the person discussed.
in the PH.. i'd say about 6% are a 7 thru a 10. with maybe 1% being a 10. but, they are very approachable.
using real women means getting model releases for each. not cost effective to be paying models for photo shots.

Where in the Philippines did you shoot this video?
Tagbilaran, on Bohol island.
You preach common sense but it's not really common
Your absolutely right dating sites are scammers and BS I met my girlfriend in person she was not looking for anyone nether was I you meet the old fashion way talk face to face
Its just human nature, things were ALWAYS better back in the day..not just dating in the Philippines.. but cars...music...etc etc. Just people growing older essentially.
Love your videos, love seeing you outside. 💚
