    I always say, a woman’s looks is like a resume, it can get them an interview to see if they’re a good fit or you need to move on to the next candidate.

    Your emphasis on Filipina’s seeking financial stability is true and it’s no different from any western woman back home. It’s just an economic reality due to the huge income disparity between foreigners and local Filipino’s. An average social security check of $1778/month is equivalent to a Filipino surgeon, thus increases the desirability of an old, overweight American here. And this is not news. Foreign men are flocking here in groves and are no longer considered to be a “diamond in the rough”. So, if you’re a single foreign guy seeking a Filipina partner, the key is to separate yourself from the rest of the flock (e.g., stay fit, learn their native language, etc.).

    You restored my faith. I’ve heard so many negative comments about gold diggers and scammers. I’m glad you say this is a minority. I can take care of myself with these types but I’m not up for being overwhelmed with these types while looking for the right lady. Thanks for all your videos.

      the highest concentration of scammers are, without a doubt, on the dating sites. meet women in town or while on a walk in the neighborhood.. that's where the normal, good women are.

      @@Lifebeyondthesea I met my Filipina lady when she helped in a friend's household and garden. I had pity with her to ride home by crowded bus every evening for more than one hour, so I invited her to stay at my place nearby, without further intentions. Nevertheless somehow we came closer together. Someday at an excursion she showed me an unused piece of land owned by her family, it was MY idea to build a house there. So we did. The house nothing to show off, but strong to resist the storms in Bicol, and surrounded by enough land for a big garden, we have bananas and coconuts, and some chicken. 🌴

    I tend to agree with most of what you said but I still think money is a primary reason why women get interested in men and start relationships and get married. Not just in the Philippines but everywhere in the world. What do you think it would happen if the guys who are in a happy relationship supporting their girlfriends or wives told them that from now on all expenses will be split on a 50/50 basis? I have a feeling that the divorce or breakup rate would be at least 50%. And let's not forget that family law is made so that divorce is all to the advantage of women.

    I think you are correct. I have not met too many women chasing homeless, impoverished men. It would be interesting to interview and ask women what attracted them to a man and find one to say "well, he was broke, homeless, had bad hygiene, and no future prospects." 8)

    @Kevin-G-7 4 месяца назад +4

    100% correct about two things:
    (1) essentially all women in all countries care about how much money a man makes and there is nothing wrong with that;
    (2) the haters only look at the initial attraction of money and beauty and desperately need to believe that is the entire relationship.
    Regarding (2) they need to believe it because if it isn’t true many of their beliefs crumble. They aren’t inclined to logical introspection so it is easier to take a mental shortcut and believe it is all about money and looks.

    A lot of people are unaware that if a person retired to the Philippines and on social security gets married to a Philippina and they have a child together the child will be eligible to receive a benefit equal to 50% of the expats social security. If the expat dies that amount will increase to 75%. I'm sure that most Philippinas are well aware of this. That's one good reason they are interested in older expats. I would hope that love falls into the equation at some point, hopefully, but this rule certainly adds credence to their looking to expats for financial security.

    Luckily, I guess my sweetheart figured because I was a foreigner or because I was an Architect that I was financially stable even though I was honest in my profile. This was way back in early 2015 and I wasn't financially stable at that time. We fell in love anyway. We have had an exciting life and yes, we are now financially stable. We help each other want to be our best selves and that makes all the difference in the world.

    My first visit to Vietnam was a solo bicycle tour from Hanoi to Saigon. At 58, I had been abandoned by American women and wasn't even thinking about meeting Vietnamese women. Eventhough I was dressed in ripped athletic shorts and faded T shirts wearing a backpack, the women were very interested in me. While I had significant assetts, I never mentioned them to any of the women I met. Not even to the women I eventually married until after the wedding. Accordingly, I can't relate to anything you said in this video.

    Interesting. As far as the Western women I can see how I failed. I dress business casual and always wear cross trainers as that is what feels good on my feet, I drive a 2022 higher-end SUV, work 100% remote and knock back an easy 6 figures.
    Found my Filipina, she is 41and I am 61. She has a job/career and her own money. But I make her happy and she makes me happy. I can't retire to PH yet, so looking to get a K1 and bring her here till I retire. She owns land and 2 homes in PH and wants to retire back home as well.

    So I’m one of those guys that makes over 6 figures, and when I date in the US, I drive my little commuter car rather than my Mercedes, for the very reasons you talked about in the video.. if my Mitsubishi (2023) isnt good enough then I don’t want a second date with my nicer car. I also on a US date will wear Jeans and a polo shirt for the same reasons… I’ve been on a lot of first dates 😂😂😂.
    I have less than 4 years until I retire and I’m headed back the the Philippines as soon as I sell my house 😊

    • @Lifebeyondthesea
      @Lifebeyondthesea  4 месяца назад +1

      yes. some guys will get a filipina wife when they themselves are dead broke by usa standards, barely getting maybe $500 month in some form of income.
      but with time the filipina realizes she's been duped. she 'thought' all foreigners are 'rich' and hitched her wagon to the wrong horse.
      so, imagine a man who marries a hot woman and six months later she cuts her hair short, gains weight and has no passion in bed for him. same result, he'd feel he'd been duped and would be looking for the door to get out. she'd be thinking the same with a broke man.

    I have some hopes they'll heed my advice because we'll be living over there in a year, so maybe they'll take a hint from the locals. That I hope.
