      dating a woman with kids is not a problem (though not my preference)
      but the thing is, I rather make my own babies
      raise a strong family together all on our own
      making the family happy even with her bringing her own children
      as long as we live a successful life raising them right (good upbringing)
      certain cases like that, the results (and happiness) matters more
      than the baggage or circumstances. it's takes a couragable man to handle that
      commendable to the fathers of the newly weds that can be the responsible family man.

    Rule #1 ALWAYS be a gentleman. No matter what the outcome.#2 expect the unexpected cause she will 80 percent of the time bring a friend or family member on your first date. If she brings more that 2. Walk away. #3 all that glitters isnt gold. If she approaches you being overly friendly, excuse yourself and bounce. Lastly and this is most important NEVER EVER take anyone where you live.

      When my parents were kids, it wasn't unusual to have younger girls chaperoned on a date. In many places in the world that are traditional, it's like America in the 1950's. It's refreshing as i can act like I was raised to act.

    My eye-opening moment was going to the pharmacy. I needed some benadryl after getting eaten alive in Subic Bay. My arm was... covered... so I wasn't feeling confident. But girl was pretty flirty, so I went with it. And realized "ok, they're not predisposed to label men as gross/creep/etc. and just treat us like humans..." That's when it clicked for me and stopped being self conscious and hyper critical towards myself.

    What I appreciate most about this channel is the genuine real life examples. Also, concise and to the point. Other expat channels I've seen offer "day in the life" stuff, road trips, and what they consider humor. I consider these to be distractions, which undermine the information viewers like me need in order to make an informed decision. No hate, but even the Pea makes me tune out with her puns and comedy sketch endings. I guess my being older is to blame.

    Good video and spot on advice, You can't go wrong in PI. Just make sure you are at the top of your game and be nice to everyone.. Be in shape and get healthy, no big belly or bad teeth. Get a good haircut and dress in good clothes that are casual. If you meet one good Filipina you won't need or have time for a second or third one.

    I guess the Philippine/asian 'saving face' also cushions rejection as a flat out no would be impolite. Though it might make being a jerk harder to find out too.
    Making a decision on your own about what the other person thinks about you is a problem with some men. It sounds like the fellow in your story was doing that.
    With that kind of abundance is there a plan to find what you are looking for, so to speak? I would think older (40s) would be harder to casually find.

I'm open to it. Can you give me any good suggestions of your thoughts? I watch quite a few years stories now. And some of the things you've said definitely had home.

    @LoyolaWolfpack2019 3 месяца назад

    @Lifebeyondthesea,
    I have to wonder if maybe things were different when you were dating prior to your marriage because I think the majority of normal Filipinas that you would approach now in public at their work (grocery store, department store, bake stands, public plazas, any store in a mall, etc.) already have a Filipino boyfriend. And I say Filipino boyfriend because like you said, there are not enough foreigners to go around. But think about how few things there can be to do for entertainment for most Filipinas who don’t have that much by way of excess resources to travel or do activities that would be considered expensive to them-of course they already have a boyfriend, especially if they are at least decently attractive. Because having a boyfriend is such an obvious and free way to make their life more entertaining, even if it’s a Filipino when she may prefer foreigners but hasn’t been approached by one.
    So I have to ask-what percentage of the women that you say went on first dates with you do you think actually already had a Filipino boyfriend, and were not properly single? Basically seeing you as a potential upgrade in real time, the current boyfriend be damned. Because it is hard to believe that only three women in 11 years said no to a date on the basis of being taken already, when again, I think more than half are already dating someone. Just wanted to get your perspective on this. Thanks Reekay

    • @Lifebeyondthesea
      @Lifebeyondthesea  3 месяца назад +2

      "what percentage of the women that you say went on first dates with you do you think actually already had a Filipino boyfriend, and were not properly single?"
      this reminds me of the question from TSA at the airport, "has anyone put anything into your luggage without your knowledge?" well, if it was done without my knowledge.. how would i know?
      i've dated filipinas who would do things like, not let me take them directly to their home. that to me is suspicious. who is at their home they don't want me to see? who is there that would question, "why did a foreigner give you a ride home?"
      and the really good liars.. again, who knows? they may have dated with me a few weeks, it didn't work out.. and the 'other b/f' never knew the difference. neither did i.
      but the reason i don't worry about it is because, "if" their relationship was a good, solid one.. she wouldn't be going out with me in the first place.

    • @LoyolaWolfpack2019
      @LoyolaWolfpack2019 3 месяца назад +1

      Fair enough, all makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to respond Reekay.
      My big concern with not knowing a Filipina’s status upfront or at the latest during the first date, is the scenario in which she is separated and the paper husband finds out you are trying to date her, and shows up to harm you. Or even if she just has a boyfriend but accepts the date with you, and he similarly finds out and comes to harm you. Filipinos claim to have no problem with foreigners being in the Philippines dating Filipinas, of course right up until one actually gets involved with their girlfriend/wife/paper wife, most likely unknowingly since she may not offer her true status readily. But as you have said before, there is no love without risk, and I guess that applies here too. It’s just important though to try and find out her status early on, in my opinion, so that you don’t end up having an angry Filipino paper husband legally kill/injure you for adultery.

      @tipigi3570 3 месяца назад +5

      It's all about the attitude that you're getting back. If you notice that younger lady looking at you, smiling, she won't think you're a creep. Start off simply, don't just walk up and ask for her number. Ask a simple question "Where's a good place to get some coffee?" If she seems to want to keep talking, ask if she'd like to go get that coffee.
      I know Reekay says to not bother with dating sites, and he's right about it being easy to meet them in person. Personally, I like to use both. Sometimes using a dating site to set up the date is easiier to me. Many of them show the girl's age preference. Use that to see if someone young enough to be your daughter might be interested (many don't want to date a guy a lot older). You can also sort by location to find ones where you are, sort by educational level, if they have kids or not, etc.

      What you can attract here has little to do with your age or age gap. If you possess masculine traits and behaviors the women will notice and be drawn to you. Don't expect every Filipina to be worthy of a serious relationship, Reekay goes over this often. Figure out what your deal breakers are and what you are attracted to, go from there. A word of warning, you may struggle to find anything attractive about Caucasian women after coming here

    The only thing I disagree with Reekay said here regarding approaching a woman is that it also works in the USA. Feminists and the Pick Up Artist community made men believe you needed clever lines etc. You only need to be contrary, do the opposite the masses are doing. Like don't go to bars and clubs for women unless you like high mileage women (same for the PH). There are tons of women who aren't feminists in the USA. For example, go to conventions, funerals lol etc, where women have their guard down, and you'll find success by just being yourself. So, practice in the US before coming to the PH.
    The issue with US women is, do you really want them after you got them? You don't, not if you want a traditional relationship. It's better in the PH in spite of the cultural differences. Your chances of a peaceful relationship is better there than in the US.
    A word of caution is to stay away from Manila women or you'll get the US experience in a different package.
    Dating in the end is all a matter of mindset. If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you can't.
    One last thing that Reeday left out before you approach women. You need to possess some common sense basics. Like good hygiene, don't dress like a slob, good grooming and good manners and the ability to string at least two sentences together. All the stuff your mom and dad taught you (unless they were druggies) works real well in the PH.
