  • I just spent two months in Da Nang, Vietnam. Afterwards, Vietnam is definitely one of my favorite countries, if not my number 1 favorite. Although I was only there two months, I did try dating a little bit but found it difficult.
    In this video, I will share my experience dating in Vietnam and what I think about Vietnamese women, people, and culture. I will also talk about some of my favorite adventures, including waterfalls, hiking, and motorbike trips in Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Que Son, and A Loui.

    I have lived in Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia for the last 21 years. Vietnam has some of the most beautiful women in the world. Very feminine, peaceful and appreciative. But my advice to you is to not look for them in bars, nightclubs, or big cities during the late evening. Your odds of finding a very modest, soft, feminine woman who is traditional and trustworthy greatly improve if you look in smaller cities, villages, and in areas where negative influences from other tourists could have changed her behavior. I found my beautiful wife in the Philippines in a smaller city while grocery shopping. In the 17+ yrs we have been married she has never once argued with me over financial decisions or decisions that impact our overall family security, longevity. Also she is still extremely sexy, fit and has brought so much peace into our home it has enabled me to successfully grow my company to multiple countries.

      My advice is simple. Don't look for a girl in the City in bars. In local stores or on the beach. Find a Virgin deep in the country that still does not know anything about sex. Really look deep in to her sexual relations but looking in the hole . Most will lie and tell you they are a Virgin yet if you look between the legs you will see that was a lie. I was 14 and could tell by looking is they were a Virgin or not. If you can't tell then you need a lot of help. Next is simple if you are dating a girl that is 5 feet tall and 150 pounds you know they are well over weight by about 60 pounds and you will be spending more feeding her to fill her needs.

    I found dating in Vietnam wonderful. Stunningly beautiful, considerate, attentive, fun loving, communicative, open and wife material. I understand dating in Asia. Cold approaches aren’t well received. Repeated light consistent communication so a Vietnamese woman becomes familiar with me works very well. They don’t like pushy style connections. I take walks every day wave and smile and that’s all it took. Western men are used to western dating. I love dating Vietnamese women. Many choices. I’ve never dated in HCM or Hanoi. Phillipines is great also. I prefer the emotional stability of Vietnamese over Thai and Philippine women.

    Great video. I am from south florida and never have been to southeast asia until last year. in my 50's good shape and good appearance. I love love asian women. I went to thailand three times in the past year. Not only are the women beautiful but everyone is so friendly and guys are also nicer just to go out and grab some drinks. IN the US everyone is more to themselves. I live in a very cool place in America ( delray beach ) however i just love southeast asia. Going to the Phillipines in January for a month then may hit vietnam then thailand again. Your video sounds dead on from what to expect from Vietnam. Stinks that in thailand almost no one spoke english but it was fun. And i mean fun and easy to meet and be with the women. If southeast asia wasnt so far i would be there a week every month!!!!!!! The culture the cost of living is amazing. I also know what you said about the Phillipines must be dead on. However i cant wait to speak english to everyone. LOL ADVICE TO ANY men thinking about going.......GO!!!!! Wish i did it 20 years ago. Also love how the age difference doesnt matter as much. All the best

      Thanks Mike! I am thrilled to hear that you got to experience Southeast Asia. I am too in love with the people and lifestyle. The Philippines is probably the easiest to date in for 2 reasons - they speak English and they love Americans, but the lack of infrastructure, the pollution, and the food will eventually wear you down. Vietnam may be the hardest to date but it is still probably my favorite country. Nicest people you'll find and so many fun adventurous things to do, and cheap. And Thailand, for me, kind of has the best of all worlds.

Every Thai woman I met loved my nose because it is well-proportioned and is not flat like an Asian nose. A lot of the bar girls I got to know in Pattaya have a Thai man or a Tomboy, and 7 foreign fools sending money from abroad. But a lot have a dream of finding a nice western man to marry and save them and their family from dreadful poverty. The smart ones can do very well for themselves there.

    vietnam is pretty terrible for dating, IMO. Thailand, Malaysia and Philippines are much better. Vietnam has the language barrier. And even if you find a girl who speaks good english (which isn't too hard in the big cities) the majority of Vietnamese girls wouldn't seriously consider a long-term relationship and settling down with someone who is non-vietnamese. They're often just interested in dating a white person for a little while. But know it would disappoint their parents etc to marry outside of the culture.

      @@RoamingRomances Hey thanks for responding! I like it. It's exciting. It feels VERY classy after Thailand and Cambodia. I'm on my 6th day I think. I don't know when I should move on to Dalat and then Nha Trang. I have a 90 day visa and I'm probably staying for about 70-75. I kind of want to get to Da Nang because from Da Nang and north is where its really awesome from what my research shows. I'm envious of your current location. I'm sorry about my original comment..............all the people asking me to give them money and the Tuk Tuk drivers kind of wore me down though. :)
