I chose a different part of the world... I went to East Africa. I am engaged to a beautiful Ugandan woman who is 24 years younger than me. Women in Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya are beautiful, speak excellent English, and many are eager to meet Western men. I am very, very happy!
I like your style Allen. I was planning on the Phillipines for my next south east Asian get away. You've got me pumped for cambodia. Meet me for a beer when I arrive?
Congrats on your recent engagement!!! How would you compare Cambodia to other parts of Asia like the Philipines or Thailand??? Would you say dating is better in Cambodia?
Hey Allen. New subscriber here. I’ve been enjoying your videos and honest approach in your recommendations. I’m from America and I’m now retired and living here in Siem Reap. I just renewed my ER retirement visa going on year #2 now. I love it here. I was wondering if I could meet you sometime at the Red Piano on Pub Street? Drinks are on me. 😎
The #1 reason I think most western guys don't go abroad and try to find love: they honestly don't believe life abroad will be any different. They've been rejected and hurt and spit on so much, they can't fathom anything else.
I lived in Sichuan for many years. When you have 3 big cities (Chengdu, Chongqing and Mianyang) and 300 million Sichuanese people, the beautiful/wealthy people concentrate in those locations. It would be comparable to having all the hot successful people in the U.S. living in just three cities. So yes, being in those places and I am sure Cambodia is probably similar. Just wow how can there be so many beautiful people in one place. Unfortunately I was very shy back then and only dated one woman, who fortunately is my hot wife whom we have four kids with. Also noticed the trend for women who have wealthy parents chose to not have kids or get married these days and are very likely to move overseas. Also three years, you should date someone for three years and live in the country for at least three years to really understand your situation.
I would rather go to a country, meet someone and travel there and back a couple times a year as I would probably not be able to work long distance and I have a family which I love greatly but I do believe that fasttracking it is the dumbest thing you could do, that is opening the door to being hurt or hurting someone
8:45 Pretty funny telling men looking for hookups to not use dating apps because it'll ruin it for good guys. Ya think those men are like "Oh, OK Bro"?
I've never been to The Philippines, but I know that there are some significant cultural differences. The Philippines is a Catholic nation, whereas Cambodia is Buddhist. Age gap relationships are common, yes.
Thank you Allen. I like your direct and clear style of communication. I lost my partner 2.5 years ago. She was from China. I prefer Asian culture. I will visit Siem Reap soon. I have a good life and don’t drink or go to bars. I will look to explore dating when I visit. Thank you 🙏🏼
My understanding so far from about 1 year in the Philippines is that age gap relationships are accepted here and in Cambodia for the most part. Yes in Thailand but perhaps less so away from the cities and even less in Vietnam. I will say that here most women over 25 who are looking to date are single Moms.
dude it's silicon valley the name itsself allmost implies that people are fake. yeah dude work on yourself and whilst still young get yourself a girl that you like, and then settle somewhere other than the most corrupting place I can imagine with her oh and I'l assume you'l still treat her as we were taught to treat women
This guy is right on the money. Men are so lonely in the U.S.A. right now and no one should have to grow old alone. Quit trying to sell ice to an eskimo and go to Asia where women actually value you and appreciate you for you. It made the news that American women say there is a shortage of FINANCIALLY attractive men. Really????????????
Do the local men in SouthEast Asia feel any “anger” towards foreigners (especially Western foreigners and European foreigners) moving to their country to “steal their women”? Thats always been one of my concerns, in that I might be viewed with hostility towards the men there, especially single men.
I just showed your comment to my fiancé, and here's what she said: "Some men don't like it. They feel upset when a girl they like posts that they have a foreign boyfriend." That being said, I have never experienced any overt hostility from any locals.
I mean, do you like it that Saudi guys get with western girls? the difference here is perhaps that these girls tend to be far more conservative and their societies would shame a girl that sleeps around a lot, at least in a rural setting. (which doesn't happen in europe or the US I think) in short I think they wouldn't like it when personally involved or if it involved large percentages of their women but as it stands it's maybe half a percentage of their total number of mariages. also their families traditionally receive financial support from western men where as they would otherwise have to pay for their daughter to be married to a local man, I think most families there may secretly hope that their daughters end up dating and marrying a western guy. there is also a peculiar desireability for mixed white+east asian kids, look it up.
I have seen one UA-cam channel by a Filipino guy who's pissed about foreign guys. He's a pretty intelligent guy and attacks it from several points of view. Sorry, don't know the link. His take is more of a general national issue, of Filipino culture in general being lost. Kind of odd since the concept of "Filipino" is a very recent thing. Philippines has been, and still is, composed of a crazy large number of tribes (cultures) and languages. Filipino men in interview don't seem to have an issue with it. But keep in mind the risk, loss, isn't that great. Filipino men can still find women. If that were to become harder opinions would change. And not all SE Asian women are actively looking for foreigners. Many say they'd be open to marrying a foreign man but remember the English translation for "foreign man" is "rich man". English terms often have a different meaning than in the West. Locals have a bunch of terms for women who seek and get with foreign men. "Care giver" is one especial when the man is older. Marrying an old guy so he doesn't live too long and she can get he's assets. That kind of thing. Filipinos DO NOT like to say these things in front of foreigners, but yeah. Every knows what the deal it.
@@waterbug1135 interesting points, but I do agree with those men calling the girls who date really old foreigners 'caregivers' it's pretty much the same as a western girl marrying an old guy for his inheritance, (i know of one case personally, she didn't even marry him, she kept giving excuses and played him, but then again the guy in question was a piece of work to, he was utterly miserable himself and he took advantage of my father's generosity as well. when he died his ashes were spread out and that was it, there is nobody to remember him ever again, he had a kind wife but she died before he did sadly) for the most part though, I think that it depends on the person and the age as well, if a foreign guy remains within 15 years of his own age I'd say it's ok, (offcourse not under 18) but a guy in his 30s marrying a girl in her 20s is something I can see working, or vice versa but a 70yo with a woman under 55 is unseemly.
My First love was Hawaiian Chinese an since I could set at my mothers feet and her art interests have loved Asian women and sadly I walked away out od being scared shitless lol when at 56 a gorgeous Chinese woman showed up online and new a lot about me and was literally a dream come true... But I wasn't in a good situation and had this happened say a few yrs later I'd have married her on the spot she basically said it was love at first sight for her as well... she wasn't a real city girl she worn typical common traditional dress and I loved it...all I had to do...was ask. I didn't I still have her # and her photos... but they are just a reminder act don't think... You have the best of both worlds...lol... Avoiding the US Medical BS and and finding the Love of your life...for which NO One has the right to deny you. Cheers and Congratulations~
I enjoyed your video, Ive been living in East Asia for 21 years and have no plans to go back. You missed the main reason why western men are desired, No family to deal with and more important no mother-in-law. Siem Reap is very nice i have been there 4 times to see the historical sites and to enjoy happy pizza. I hope the new airport doesn't change the city much.
people/culture around the world keep getting more westernized especially the younger generations. i'm 100% sure that southeast asia dating culture will be just like in the west a decade from now.
It's quite bold of you to expect that thousands of years of culture will be completely reversed in a mere 10. Cambodia in particular takes a lot of pride in their traditions.
I believe the game started to change around 2012 that was the beginning when smartphones came about in Asia. I'm 44 and have dated a few Thai girls in Thailand in their mis 20's they are way more Western than what they were back in 2009/10. I know that Cambodia is years behind Thailand and is more culturally conservative. But social media transforms societies at a rapid pace. I pray that it doesn't reach Cambodia for some years to come if ever. The young Thai girls that are addicted to Instagram are just as bad as Western girls so my guy has a point. I hope the Cambodian culture is strong enough to resist these woke. liberal western ideas for some time yet. I will be making a move out to Asia myself next year before things get too bad. If I see you in Siam Reap Allen, I'll shout you a 50 cent beer. Good video.@@Allen_in_Asia
You’re right. Men like this guy seem to not get that there’s a reason women across the world are becoming “modern” for a lack of a better term. Like it or not, as women have more access to education they tend to want more for themselves. No matter the country most women are realizing we don’t want to ruin our lives like our mothers did before us and we’re making smarter choices like going to school and seeking out careers. Basically a lot of us saw our mothers suffer and want a better life. A lot of women are breaking free from the shackles of tradition so to speak.
It has little to do with education. Japan and Russia are two of the most educated countries in the world, and they have very different cultures than the West. Asian culture places a high value on scholastic achievement, while also holding to their traditions. Some places... are just different from other places, and it's very arrogant for anyone to assume that eventually every country will just realize that Western way of thinking is "better" and abandon their way of life. Come to Asia, spend 5 minutes talking to the locals, and you'll realize that it's not going to happen anytime soon. It's not that people here have never been introduced to the Western way of doing things. They have, repeatedly, and they've rejected it every time.
Your video content comes accross as being fake, nearly always with boring backdrop information, talking about cambodia but showing backdrops of indian shops and japanese police, are you really in cambodia, having spent a lot of time there at one point, i would love to see some on the ground interesting content not this mediocre content.
Honest, genuine, simple and straightforward. Perfect!
You're speaking the truth, brother. Glad you found yourself a very beautiful and kind Khmer woman to start a family with. Wishing you all the best!
I chose a different part of the world... I went to East Africa. I am engaged to a beautiful Ugandan woman who is 24 years younger than me. Women in Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya are beautiful, speak excellent English, and many are eager to meet Western men. I am very, very happy!
your profile pic! lmao
@@rsk6929😂😂😂😂
I'm glad you found that special someone.
I believe you, I personally think the age gap is a bit to big but I think your intentions are marriage and to treat her as your partner.
@@istoppedcaring6209Yes! For sure. We're waiting for her K1 visa.
Your videos are great: succinct, full of info, and mature. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing all the good, practical information.
Great video bro. Love the honesty.
Respect for your honesty!
Every word is True To The Point! ❤😊🎉

Sure, sounds good.

Spot on man
Great video with lots of good info. Thanks! 😊
Hi Allen - thanks for content, looking to travel to Cambodia myself later this year can you tell me how you earn money there? Are you a digital nomad?
I lived in Sichuan for many years. When you have 3 big cities (Chengdu, Chongqing and Mianyang) and 300 million Sichuanese people, the beautiful/wealthy people concentrate in those locations. It would be comparable to having all the hot successful people in the U.S. living in just three cities. So yes, being in those places and I am sure Cambodia is probably similar.

Also three years, you should date someone for three years and live in the country for at least three years to really understand your situation.
Cheers bro. Been a born again virgin for 6 years now. Might have get a visa and change that.
lol
Nice video :) Where/How did you meet your wife in Cambodia?
Tinder
nice@@Allen_in_Asia
are you married with local now? What is the process of getting marriage certificate?
I would rather go to a country, meet someone and travel there and back a couple times a year as I would probably not be able to work long distance and I have a family which I love greatly
but I do believe that fasttracking it is the dumbest thing you could do, that is opening the door to being hurt or hurting someone

Hi is there popular website with real people and not so much bot that girl use most often can you shared please
Are age gap relationships common? How does dating in Siem Reap compare to the Phillipines? Great video. I subscribed
I've never been to The Philippines, but I know that there are some significant cultural differences. The Philippines is a Catholic nation, whereas Cambodia is Buddhist.
Age gap relationships are common, yes.
Thank you Allen. I like your direct and clear style of communication. I lost my partner 2.5 years ago. She was from China. I prefer Asian culture. I will visit Siem Reap soon. I have a good life and don’t drink or go to bars. I will look to explore dating when I visit. Thank you 🙏🏼

Where do you meet women in Cambodia? Thanks
8:55 your channel just turned into white Knight Central 😂
Dating for me in Silicon Valley, CA has been ass lately lmao
dude it's silicon valley
the name itsself allmost implies that people are fake.
yeah dude work on yourself and whilst still young get yourself a girl that you like, and then settle somewhere other than the most corrupting place I can imagine with her
oh and I'l assume you'l still treat her as we were taught to treat women
Plenty of hot women in the bay though.
Great message & information. 👍🏾#MGTOW #passportbros
W video
This guy is right on the money. Men are so lonely in the U.S.A. right now and no one should have to grow old alone. Quit trying to sell ice to an eskimo and go to Asia where women actually value you and appreciate you for you. It made the news that American women say there is a shortage of FINANCIALLY attractive men. Really????????????
taller, stronger, higher on the career ladder and has to earn more
Yes they want a better live but who doesn't
