everyone pay for sex ... if you pick up a girl for sex or you find a girlfriend or if you are married then you you are paying for sex ... in all 3 situation you are providing financial security ...and if she is paying for everything then she is paying for sex
Another great video Simon from a street wise Londoner. Every story is different I married a Philippina 18yrs ago she already had 5 children and now we have 14 grandchildren. We finished building our house 12 yrs ago. Never been happier the family are a complete joy and I love living in the province for 6 months every year. So their are some successful outcomes. Just go into relationships with eyes wide open. Talking about someone who had two failed marriages in UK so 3rd time lucky. Take care Jim
Thanks Jim. Wow, 5 kids, that was a brave step mate but obviously the right step because it's worked out so well for you. Like you say every story is different but you went into it with your eyes open and you made it work 👍
Married to phillipina 18 years now from oz 3 kids 2 grandkids could not be happier still back and forth to oz but not to long to retirement love this country
*There is a big difference between a REAL and true partner/girlfriend, and an insincere relationship. I am NOT passing judgement, just stating facts. Many many older guys in Dumaguete are in fake relationships. Some guys know it and may admit it, others allow themselves to live a lie and maybe even think the girl 30 years younger is truly in love. (Some guys can look in the mirror, some guys don't have that inner truth)
Very true, mate, there is a big difference 👍 Personally, I couldn't knowingly live a lie, but I guess you can blind yourself to the realiities, and fool yourself into not realising that you're living a lie. 🤔
Totally agree with you. Economic circumstances play a big role in relationship dynamics. In many cases, older foreign men may be perceived as more financially stable, offering a semblance of security and a potential escape from economic hardships. While age gaps are more widely accepted in some societies, the Philippines may have a cultural bias against such relationships. Societal expectations and norms can influence the perception of individuals involved with older foreigners, contributing to the notion that they are lower quality by local standards. These young ladies are not in love with their grandfathers. They are in love with the 💵💵💵 they can give. This is realtalk.
Accurate comment, but this accuracy applies worldwide given fundamental inter-gender dynamics. Make no mistake, western relationships are based on consistently superficial criteria as well- show me a country on this rock where ugly broke people are in high demand. 😂 And let’s not get started on the transitory nature of most (60%+) western marriages, most relationships in general (80%+), and the near inevitable loss of raw attraction in the vast remainder of those that “hold it together” for whatever reason. In that light, I’d say an old divorced guy enjoying a few low cost years in SEA under the sun 🏝️ with a young pretty gal who treats him well before the end is, well, until then, #Winning.
@@columbus7275 That's maybe the best comment I've ever read in the 8 years that I've been watching UA-cam videos about the Philippines and SEA. Bravo 👌.
I would've been more upset about him wearing my clothes than 'wearing' my girlfriend! Haha Not laughing at your bad situation/ experience (sad you experienced that), just healing comes thru laughter. I like the way you don't live with any regret, you said even though the relationship didn't work out, you enjoyed the time in the village, that is a very healthy perspective
Enjoyed the video Simon. I here alot about setting the boundary boundaries, and i agree. Personally I would be, never disclose your weath and or living cost. Wife, girlfriend and or partner should be quite happy with you as the provider of the needs. Regarding family, i think its the girl parents that need financial assistance, example ifvyiur girl gave them a monthly allowance. What ever my budget when retired would be the 50/30/ 20 rule. Cheers 🍻
Thanks again for another informative imho unbiased video... Interested to see that your sucess rates from views to likes seems to fall around 20%..

As ever my call take it or leave it.... Great n obvious comment on dating / bagging off costs. I've made similar comparisons over the decades and had some very anti comments... But in first world Western countries many guys don't or won't evaluate potential investments on dates / relationships... I agree 100% based on international experience that two can virtually always live much cheaper than 2x1... Others will most certainly disagree. Like the comment of your successor inheriting your clothes, has happened to me too ..lol... Cheers n keep up the great work Cheers Glenn
Hi Glenn, thanks mate. 100 countries, that's a lot mate, you've led an interesting life 👍 If you were over here it would be great to interview you for the channel. I think the new boyfriend walking around in your clothes has happened to a few of us 😂
@SpeakingofAsia Simon For better or worse I'm back in the UK. Had been overseas for around 4 decades….Spent the last 20yrs in the US, but continually on the road. Was regularly in the Philippines tween 81 n 2001 mainly with work. May make another trip dunno... The uk winter is not my thing , but is better than where I was in the US....
Also Simon, If you’re looking for people to interview Chad Foster just interviewed an 81 year old American (Gerry/Jerry), who just sold everything n took his first ever flight to move permanently to the Philippines… but also he’s coming over to your location in a few days. Don’t know if its at all feasible to track him down just an idea…lol…. Cheers Glenn
I love many things about Thailand but you were spot on when discussing relationships and business relationships. This is the reason my next move will be to the Philippines. Not looking for any more relationships for they equal drama in my eyes. Good luck in yours and what you choose.
Interesting points you’ve made. And actually it’s obvious. Of course your spending goes down when you swap out nights on the town with the boys with Netflix and chill with the girlfriend. That’s the same the world over surely?
Totally agree about refraining from building houses in Asia. You start building houses and you give them too much leverage especially since you can't own the land. There's a vlogger in the Phils that recently built a house. He's having so much drama since with his partner and stepchildren. They know they have him over a barrel because the poor guys trapped! Stay and grin and bear it or walk away and lose your investment!🤔
It does help to listen to expats that are your same age range. I heard you say you are 51 years old. Gio is 52 years old! I do relate to the two of you. More than retired Expats. I could retire now. But need projects going on more than chasing women and drinking alcohol all day!
Good video and agree with what you say. I think the guys who say your costs will double have got themselves in too deep. Mainly I would say they have kids. After that the family thinks your money is their money. Your girlfriend is not to blame it is her family. The only way out is to move her away from the family. It is not marriage it is having kids which traps the man. Women say if you love me you won't wear a Johnny. A child is a blessing from god. It is the religion which makes it different to Thailand.
All pretty wise words mate I think its important to respect the culture (not going to get too far long term) but hold your ground with setting a budget and making it clear that your not going to accept bullshit also not sure about if its "regular guy" you mean he travels alot and has only been in Angeles a couple of times since starting his channel I know there are a few p2p advice guys around no judgment from me though an adult is an adult end of story Great Video mate

i think Vlogging A Dead Horse = aka Sean King from Norwich, said he was 56 ---- his doppelgänger, Captain Sensible, co-founder of The Damned, is 69-years-old
Simon, what's the name of your complex? The place you site on patio outside and Yellow railing behind you. Hope to find a cheap apartment, clean , with air-conditioning??? any input names of apartments?? New York David
No that's a different one. My Thai Bride is available on UA-cam but the quality is awful, plus you have to change the playback speed. You'd have to search elsewhere online for a decent version of it. Well worth a watch though
The family survived before the foreigner's money, so I don't see what it's such a necessity. They should just care that he takes care of their daughter, and that she's happy.
Hello mate, I've done a couple already, ua-cam.com/video/JpHVzQKUzMI/v-deo.htmlsi=RbVCJJ6xzp2yr_jd ua-cam.com/video/cKE4gq9t424/v-deo.htmlsi=aK4pH1CXx8p0Ozk4 In terms of dating, if you're looking for casual, and I'm not talking about bar girls, for me Thailand is better but if you're looking for a serious relationship leading to marriage I think the Philippines is better 👍

Eye Eye Chief, How are you today? I'm listening to you no money no honey today, WE need to meet and hangout in Siquijor together brother!!! David from New York. I will be living there in Dumaguete in April. How do I reach you once I arrive? David
pinoy girls are the best but its the family members who milk them once your involved they will work her for every dollar using any means they can , if i had time again i would find a girl with little to no family members from a one child family .i should of cut my ties years ago even know i love her very much. For new guys on the block make sure only a mother and father or you will be sorry as when its there time to help you they wont even buy you a beer.
Women are expensive ! -- At least in the US from all I have ever seen anywhere !!!!! -- I'd be surprised if 1 in MILLION aren't costly ? - - - Be prepared to pay a fortune. 🤣
A GF costs very little if she is a genuine GF. I agree withCurtis Powell @curtispowell6878 What the fuck are boundaries? Why do you need boudaries- if you do. your relationship is shit.
Some Philippines girls are very good with money, and don't expect much support apart from day to day food and shelter, i guess if you take all their time and they can't work you should give them a monthly allowance so the girl can help her family, and keep in mind inflation here is really bad, bag of rice now 2850 pesos, and so many weather events

No money, NO HONEY!!
Obviously you choose low class women, many of my gf made upper class salaries. Try looking for women with good jobs.
