    SIMP! We've got too many guys spoiling the dating scene for those of us who're boots on the ground. Several of the girls in our neighborhoods have multiple "sponsors" from the West, living high on the hog, getting their needs serviced by local guys. They're making fun of the guys sending all this money. Guys, stop sending money to strangers!!!

      I agree with Mike. A good Filipina may ask for money. Asking, in and of itself, doesn’t make a Filipina a bad woman. Having said that, I understand your point. 100% of the bad ones ask for money so it is a red flag. But just because 100% of the bad ones ask for money that doesn’t logically mean 100% of those who ask for money are bad. That is the same logical error as the following ::: 100% of the time it rains there are some clouds in the sky, thus 100% of the time there are some clouds in the sky it rains. Nope. It can be cloudy without raining just like a woman may ask for money and not be a bad woman.

    The fact that this girl is going to college in Cebu, away from her family, means that the family can afford to pay the tuition fees, the boarding house, her food, etc. If they couldn't afford that, she wouldn't be there! So why should you start sending money, Scott? And if you know about yourself that you have bad hygiene, do something about it! Shower every day, brush your teeth, shave, use Cologne, get a haircut, dress well ... Man, these are things that you have in your own hands!

    One thing important that Mike always share (and he is pretty consistent with it) is that men should be financially stable to enter into any relationship. So he should take care of himself first and make sure that he is stable. Otherwise he has no business bringing someone into his life. A man who is not financially stable is setting himself in a lot of hurt and frustration if he cannot provide. That is the nature of a man. A man’s happiness is his ability to be a provider and a protector. Of course you have to be smart too and make sure that the woman is on the same page as you and not taking advantage.

It doesn't matter how many times you tell guys, "Don't send money to anyone, you never met" Some guys will never learn.

    On my journey preparing to live in SE Asia, I met dozens of men who said they want to go like me. All of them live in severe denial. Financially, physically, emotionally they could never leave the US because they don’t have a contract with reality. I do. I lost my loving sweetheart to cancer two years ago and stayed to care for my mom for 10 years - she passed recently. Two weeks after my mom passed I was in SE Asia. I was setting the table for my feast of life. You see I love myself and treat myself accordingly. I don’t abandon myself. I have very high self esteem because I do esteemable acts like take care of my loving partner by myself every day until she passed and the same for my mother. So now it’s my time. Healthy relationships are reciprocal. Even though someone may not be able to be reciprocal financially they can be reciprocal others ways. LDR aren’t healthy and feed unhealthy fantasy

She could be pretending to be his girlfriend because he's sending her money. She can also have a Filipino boyfriend according to her Facebook post that she's in a relationship. Beautiful Filipina women get a lot of attention from Filipinos. Some Filipina women have local boyfriends, and at the same time go online and seek foreigners for financial support.

Chances are, she has a BF, and even if she doesn't, the chance of a relationship with her working isn't good. I made many of the same mistakes he has, and I have decided that online dating is a loser. They get your money and you get very little in return. Some friendship and love, but it's not real. It's better to just wait until you get to the Phils, IMO.

Thoughts come and go... it's just having a good time to bridge the period you cannot go abroad yet and learn about persons and the country in advance. Be aware that things may come out different when you enter the country and meet in person.

    Hi Mike, thanks for your reply. Please can you make a video about the Visa you have that enables you to stay in the Philippines and how much it cost to maintain it. How often do you need to renew the Visa and all about that process. Also how easy is it to get Filipino citizenship as a foreigner? How long do you need to live in the Philippines before you can apply for citizenship there? Look forward to hearing all about it, thanks Alan 😊

How many boyfriends do these online girls have? Great you are using the strong test line and reel him back in Mike. Keeping it real!

    Sounds to me like he needs a Saint and not a girlfriend. It's just a decision to have good hygiene and it's unlikely that she would look past it. I would ask him, what's the purpose of the fridge. Most likely the fridge was for her family or maybe a nearby sari-sari store that she owed money (utang). In a boarding house expenses are normally a set rate just like the rent. $20 for water in the Philippines is insane, you can't drink it. Mike you mentioned that she might be staying with other girls in the room. It's also possible that she is related (cousins) with them and she is just embellishing the cost so she can pay for them as well. $2000 dollars over a 2.5 month period is terrible. Even if this girl was genuine when they first met, he has ruined her and the entire family by sending the equivalent of nearly 2 years wages in 2 months. He will forever by an ATM now, and once the money dries up, so will her time. Chaulk it up to a charitable donation and work on yourself before visiting the Philippines.

    Wow! True story. Listen to this I'm 51 live in Cleveland, Ohio. Unlike that guy. I was an actor and fitness model never had problems with getting a woman. Figured I would try talking to a Philippina.
    Girl is about 24 lives in Cebu told me she was in America in 2019 but Visa is now expired and wanted to come back.
    She asked for load on phone.
    She promised if I help her come to America she will come to Ohio and be with me. She needed this that and the other thing of a long list. In the end she got me for 2500 bucks all dragging it out she would come here and she ghosted me after I stopped sending money and asked for receipts. Her name was Hanna wonder if it's the same girl?

    Poor hygiene is a choice sir. You have way too many issues to be worrying about anyone other than improving your own life and circumstances. Some people just want to live in a fantasy world of their own making, and have no intention of actually meeting in real life. And if you are 54 and just now considering saving for your retirement I hate to say but it's way too late pal!

    She’s 24, and now she has money. And he is all the way across the world. No offense, but by sending money, he is making her more marketable, again nothing is wrong with that, but he is all the way across the world. It’s nice for a woman to depend on a man if the man is present. But he is not. Young beautiful woman , 24, given some sort of a financial independence without the man around is a recipe for disaster. She is just way too young, and without some sort of a guidance it could be bad. He should fly to the Philippines and meet the girl. This way they can really measure each other. Right now, she has no idea how it is like to be with him. That’s a big question mark.
    Having said this, at least she is going to school with your money. It’s still way lot better that wasting money on onlyfans page. 😂😂
    And Mike! Good advice as always!

By fixing the things he stated he will start to feel better about himself and self confidence will come back. If he doesn't he will stay lazy and unhealthy. He will not have a reasonable relationship with any Filipina till he does. A good Filipina takes care of herself,her family, and her home. I hope Scott fixes his problems. Interesting video Mike.

    My opinion is that she is using him and he wants to use her. This is understandable, but, not really a solid basis for a relationship. He doesn’t seem to have enough money to keep feeding her. When the money runs out, what will happen to the relationship? If he still feels strongly about her, he needs to go visit her. But, be ready for a possible ghosting. If she does meet with him, he better have some money. If he runs out, hopefully he can get back home. If she sticks with him after the money runs out, maybe it’s a good sign that she may really be in love.
    Sending money too early and having sex too early can cloud good judgement.

  • @Kevin-G-7
    @Kevin-G-7 2 місяці тому +2

    The answer of whether or not it is a scam depends on your definition of scam. For me, a scam has to involve dishonesty. If she was honest about all the things she spent money on AND was honest about relationship intentions, then it isn’t a scam. However, I think it is likely that she has been at least a little dishonest. If she has no intention of being with him but allows him to think she does, that is scamming. If she never bought a refrigerator for the dorm, that is a scam. If her phone was good enough and she claimed she couldn’t do this or that and she really could (or didn’t want to do it even if she could) then that is a scam. I think the temptation to get money is very powerful and it would be hard to not mislead some, even if not whole-hog. If I had to place a bet, I would bet low-level scamming has occurred though not all the money was given under a scam.
