    Paul, I worked many years in the Casinos in Las Vegas. There are many Filipinas that work there also. The young Filipinas get alot of attention(married or not) from the guys that work there and the male clientele(married or not). The cute, petite, sweet, mocha skin, long black hair filipina is hard to beat. Seen many guys regret bringing their Filipinas over and "lifting them up".

      Why not lift them up? Treat the beauties like they want to. Many men just don’t put the effort in to keep the relationship going strong. The expect the traditional wife to play mommy to him and not let her be just a human being.

    I brought my Filipina wife over here about 12 years ago. She was awesome UNTIL.... things got tough and there was work to be done. Then she turned into a lazy brat who would literally quit on me and make me pick up the slack. I never imagined her being so lazy and entitled coming from such an environment like the Philippines. We're divorced now. I'm actually going back soon and am going to do it all over again. What can I say, being alone is no way to live.

    Back in 1971 I married a 19 year old Filipina when I was in my mid 20s after living with her in the Philippines for about a year. I took her back to live in Texas and all was fine for 5 years and she became Americanized. She was quite the looker and was always being hit on and one day I came home from work and she and all her clothes were gone. She had found what she thought was an upgrade over me so I moved on with a broken heart but time heals. Heard years later that she moved from man to man every few years but lost track of her 20 years ago now. It was quite an adventure as is all of life.

      Two of my nephews got Philippino women. And they very quickly got pregnant and of course marriage Followed. We later found out that getting pregnant is what they called "shotgun marriage.
      One left and the other is still trying to get as much money from the other because he is a businessman.
      Funny his dad owns the business so she is just waiting for him to die.

      The moral of the story is you can take a person point of thee we it environment for a better life and that is all they want regardless of the promise to love you. I see the difference in attitude of Philippinas here in Sydney compared to the ones who are poor in their own country. They change with the new environment. Moral of the story is if you want a loving wife, don’t move her to another country

    32 years with my filipina, 21 year age gap. my opinion it is all about charactor, respect, morals, etc. I never had a doubt with my wife. She is a non drinker, smoker, and does not care to boast of what we have. I still mentor her about dis, dat, doze, etc. This, that and those. I would not change anything, she has been right beside me with all the work we have done to our homes. Learned to drive, worked 10 years for social security, now does all the money stuff. Does not want to return to P.I., both happy here. Just my take, everyone is different.

    In those 24 years that I have been mingling with the Filipino Community of Antwerp, I have only seen two couples where the Filipina "better dealed" her husband. The first one had a very good husband; a nice guy who made lots of money and spoiled her rotten. But they had a 30 year age gap and he was reaching 80. I don't know their private life. Maybe he had banana problems, but she left him for a younger and richer German guy, who travels all around the world with her and buys her everything her heart desires. If her husband treated her like a princess, she was now a queen and loved to show off her wealth to the other Filipinas who looked up to her. The second one I cannot blame. Her husband was a heavy drinker who spent his salary in the bar, while she had to work to put food on the table. She rightfully found herself a better deal. But these are the only two Filipinas I know who actually left their husbands. In all the other broken relationships I have known (including my own) it was the husband who kicked out his wife, in most cases because of adultory. In conclusion, I think that most of the Filipinas who come to Belgium will not "better deal" their husband. They will stay with him for sake of convenience but many of them have boyfriends on the side. Now I believe this can also happen when you live together in the Philippines, but I think the occurrence rate is much lower.

    7) make myself more valuable dead than alive

    9) give into a self defeating trend of stu_pid decision making
    10) make myself more miserable with drama
    11) leave one stressful life for another
    12) put myself at a disadvantage

    We attend a Catholic Church in the US where there are several FilAm couples. Older men bringing their younger wife to the US. In most cases, the younger Filipinas leave their husbands soon after receiving the green card. Those who get married to older Filipinas (45+) have a better success rate. If the Filipina is under 35 and her husband is 50+, the odds are against the husband.

      And you ignore the bias. People are generally cautious about bringing their Filipina to America. The ones that do have weighed their considerations and believed they have a trustworthy wife and have gotten to known them long enough to decide taking them to America. The ones who exhibited red flags already are left in the Philippines. The ones you see are trusted completely, and yet they have still "better dealed" their partner.

    Paul & Mae have what seems to be a strong connection, so their situation could be different. However, there is a reason on average the age gap b/t married men & women is around 3 yrs. It’s just natural for people around the same age to be both physically and mentally attracted to each other.
    I have no doubt some men bring their significantly younger Filipina wives to the USA and do fine. But I believe they are outliers…..in other words, not the norm. I think most Filipinas once exposed to the USA culture will gradually (time-frame will vary) drift toward men around their own age. It’s nature.

    Hey Paul, great upload as usual. Your on point. I'm 56 my Filipina wife is 45, I married her in Iloilo and brought her here to New Jersey. It's been 8 years, so far so good. I think I got lucky! Lol. However, if I had to do it over, I'd have left her back in Iloilo. Life in the states will change your Filipina 100%. The question is to what extent? In our case, thankfully, my wife is still very much Filipina but she has changed a bit. The good news is, we're a few years away from both moving to the Philippines to retire. So hopefully whatever Americanization that's occurred will be reversed. Lol You're correct, the age and where you meet your Filipina has a lot to do with it. But I'd caution the guys to think twice before bringing your Filipina to the US. Just my advice. Just my two cents. 👋

Our dollar goes further there, I just need to settle were it's not so hot. Haven't found a suitable place yet. Key factors decent medical within a couple of hours drive, reliable pharmacies, cooler climate, markets close by.

I've brought two different Asian girls to USA on a legal K-1 visa and both left me a few years later, (At different times of course.) once getting a green card. Both were "Nine's" with substantial age gaps on me. But Hey! It was sooo fun while it lasted!

    Excellent video Paul . I am always curious about this very subject matter as I myself am currently in a four year LDR. We have only met three times over the course of those four years but each time was about a month and we speak to each other virtually every day. I feel that I truly know this woman, however like you said, and like I tell my kids, you don’t truly know someone until you live with them for at least a year or so. I am 65 and she is 45 so there is no immaturity issue. She was an OFW as a manager in a retail store for almost 17 years in the UAE which is a very modernized country with a lot of western conveniences and wealthy men. She was engaged for almost 10 years to a Middle Eastern man who is a wealthy anesthesiologist. Because of her job she had to relocate to Abu Dhabi, and they were separated by distance for about 10 years. The entire time she was faithful to him, even though she was urged by friends to meet other wealthy men. He basically strung her along for those 10 years eventually proposing to her, but in my opinion I think only to keep her in his harem . Anyway, she discovered he was cheating on her with another Filipina while she was working in Abu Dhabi and he was living in Dubai. She broke off the engagement and a few months later we met online and have been together ever since. we are currently processing our K-1 visa and expect her to be in America sometime this June .She has no children and does not come from a large extended family. By all accounts, I feel that she is truly devoted to me and I to her. We have had many discussions about this very subject, especially from the power position aspect. Being a beautiful Filipina woman and 20 years younger than myself I realize she will be in the Power position here in America but I cannot tell you how much I truly trust this woman as I feel that we have both done a lot of soul-searching with one another. I certainly don’t expect perfection in a relationship, but I will do my best to make it so,and I believe she will as well. Like you said Paul time will tell and you sir have set the bar and I just hope to measure up, so wish me luck.

      She is very Catholic, very mature and centered. She is very much aware that I will not support her 2 sisters and her mother all who are living separately unless it is a dire emergency. She has absolutely no problem signing a prenuptial agreement and she wants to earn her own money to help pay the bills and buy her own stuff like makeup. I cover all of the major expenses. She doesn’t need to have kids or luxury items. We will travel , take classes together, dine out occasionally and go for walks but mostly just relax at home. She enjoys gardening , listening to music, singing and I enjoy pickle ball and softball. We have deep mutual respect and love for each other.

    Years ago I used to follow Dr Laura Schlesinger.who wrote books with Advice on relationships, moral and ethical issues, was a counselor, political commentator, talk radio host, columnist, author. She used to say when you meet another human being you have to see them in every season at least twice. That means before you commit know them and have a close relationship with them for 2 years. Now did I ever do that? Heck no! 😅 But it was still wise advice. Paul your recommendations reminded me of what she used to advise.

    I am paying attention. 1) My Fiancé is meets the first two requirements. As far as the 3rd requirement is concerned, We have lived together for a total of 2 months, so far. During the 2 monthes, we have endured a few difficulties together like getting lost, running out of money, dealing with town gossip, and suffering illness. So, we are about 33% thru your 3rd requirement of living together for 6 months.
    I think I have a keeper. But, only time will tell now for sure…
    Happy Easter to you and Baby Mae!

    Definitely not meaning to be unkind, but I saw so many old Western guys with over 35 year old Filipina who were facially a 4 or 5 but body was trim and slim. They viewed the female as a "10" but they are less likely to be viewed as a "10" by most young Western guys. So they are unlikely to get tons of offers. I know two women like that who married very much older Western guys . .... Going out socially, they admitted that there was so much competition in the Philippines that they grabbed what they could get ..... And importantly, they would stay with their kind and generous husbands. BUT ..... If an old guy has landed a real 8/9/10 then stay in the Philippines!

      This is also true but the dating market in the US is mixed. A Newport Beach. Ca or a Miami 6 would be a Little Rock Arkansas 10. Southern California has millions of people and thousands of gorgeous women of all races so a beautiful filipina (even a beautiful 20 something Filipina) wouldn’t necessarily stand out in LA. A cute filipina with an average body over the age of 35 would probably not be getting as many head turns.
