I went on a Romance tour in 2014. Gave me the courage to travel to the Philippines. Made some great American friends, still friends with them today. Met my wife while i was there, but not on the tour, used the K1 Visa to bring her to the US in 2015. All the girls at the event just looked the same at the end of the night.
I saw a video about an American who was charged over $10,000 by one of these agencies to communicate by email with a Ukrainian woman. In the end, he finally met her in person at one of these events. He found out that the emails were between him and an agency staffer, not between him and the Ukrainian woman. She ended up turning down his marriage proposal.
yeah but who can read is better in Life they say their introduce letter are from the Staff and when you need Years 4 come over and throws ks or 10k away as a keyboard Romeo like they say its also your own fault and yeah i get also scammed by fake people i think i write them and in the end she only make Videos and dont understand easy english words and by writing it was perfect better than my and im non native guy off course so yeah i see theire was a fault but they send you so nice Stuff (also unrealistic like i love you after 1 or 2 weeks) but so its psychologie and they get me after i see nobody cames to me i break up. 4 this Tours i dont can say much about everyone must prove it by himself and see how it works its not so cheap but i think the Hotels are High Quality min. 4 or 5 stars and their Service seems also very good 4 me but yeah you must prove it by yourself 4 me i go to that Tour individual Club Thing 20-40 Girls in 7- 14 days i think half from Social price or to the Social Thing i dont know, cause of my experience i never write weeks or Months anymore letter to Strangers where i dont know who write me back all this Stuff. Personal Meeting or nothing from my view only that works 4 real and faster than writing letters and pay 1 to 300 k !!! what i see for some days who rich men pays by 90 day fiance to a "women" he write and pay 4 every fk Letter but yeah for 7 years come on hes 62 old and to me some say im naiv whats they are then ??!!! and every 4 Meeting women dont come hes 62 she 26 or 28 so normaly selfexplain what she want and the Cheater or Ghost Writer and their "Models" earn good like i see by such Pics from their or Companys Building nice Clothes, 1 have a I Phone and asks me then 4 300 bucks ;-) lol i write her sell your kf phone whats new 1 k or so worth is.
Saw the advice you just gave coming before I even watched this. Pure common sense really. Unfortunately common sense isn't as common as it should be. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
All excellent points Reekay, thanks :) There's also an incentive for these services to not pass along contact info if two people like each other (I've heard speed dating places do this) as then there's no reason to come back and pay them again. Also some of the attractive girls might be paid actresses and aren't actually interested in relationships. I've never been to one of these so I could be completely wrong, but I believe the old fashioned way is still the best.
they also charge the girls high fees too I saw this happen at an event in cebu. a plane load of wealthy danish guys were shipped over I think the girls had to pay 10k peso to join the event.
Dr. Reekay..I've seen some of those videos...I always wanted to get the scoop on those Love Boat/Hotels hookups...I look at some of those guys and say to myself.."These are going to be some short relationships after they approve them"..I don't like meeting women like that.Not my style,.But thanks for you Therapy...
One other thing I’ve noticed is the percentage of Filipinas that I would consider attractive enough to pursue is very low at these events. It doesn’t exactly look like a beauty pageant, nor do the women seem especially top-notch in interviews and such. The Filipinas that the Filipina Pea interviews, for example, seem better on average than the women involved with these companies.
Mmm question then, how does this then compare to dating apps and other reputable online dating services specifically geared to meeting a Filipina? Just respectfully looking for clarification without mentioning sites names.
as i've mentioned in other videos, 99% of dating sites are chock full of scammers and insincere profiles. romance-scams are incredibly common. so they are no better other. but if a person is dead-set on speaking with a filipina prior to arriving in the PH, the only one i would recommend is christian-filipina. they do more to weed out bad profiles and verify they are non-married/single than any other sites. (extra fee for the verifying CENOMAR document.) bit.ly/christian-filipina-dating
I know a guy in the Philippines that is also a friend. He moved to the Philippines and He went through an agency that did the speed dating thing in 2019. He is now married to the woman he was interested in. Large age gap, no kids and the relationship in the beginning was not easy or smooth. He said he did a few extra things above the package and it cost over 10 thousand US. Expensive, but I think he might be a little lazy and wanted it all done for him.
by big age gap selfexplain only think about you as a 30 or 40 years date 50,60 year old women why ??!! and rich old Women want young athletic Guys , answer on 1 is cause of Money, 2 is cause of youngness and Status
first time i will disagree with you. Time is precious and if u can find 'N" pre-qualified, (i.e. security cleared 'NBI', confirmed single, confirmed age, comfirmed children, confirmed language skills, phyically attractive based on provided images etc), how much is that worth to you ? Not talking about the table hopping package.......other options are available. Ur thoughts ?
i agree.. time is precious. however, the track record for the type of women you'll end up meeting at one of these 'events' under an artificial arrangement, and with a 3rd-party involved add up to this being a bad investment. if i was facing two vendors selling apples, the first one's offer was 2 decent apples for $2. the second vendor is offering 20 rotten apples for $10... i'd go with the first vendor every time. if you want to meet a Filipina who has NBI clearance, has some college and speaks decent English.. all you have to do is approach the Filipinas that work in the mall department stores. they've already met those qualifications for the job. they are in mass abundance and it costs nothing to walk up to one and say, "Hi."
I watched a video it was up last year and has since been taken down, but these guys went on a meet up retreat spending several days with a group similar to what you described, the men stayed an extra week making there own arraignments. The thing is, in the video they all agreed that the women they met through the agency all seemed disinterested, one even said they were professional daters who probably got paid to show up to these events, it was just another nights work to them. On there own they had a much better time and each met girls out on the town.
totally agree. it's gotta be frustrating when women through agencies seem disinterested and like they're just there for the money. it's much more genuine and enjoyable meeting people organically, on your own, just like those guys experienced during their extra week.
Great video. I didn't need to see it, but there are many men out there who need to know that in the Philippines, it's the regular guy who is the prize, the rock star. The best part, completely different from the States, is how easy it is to get recommendations. "Hi. My name is xxx. I'm in the Philippines two weeks (Hint: don't volunteer yet that you sold the house and the car) and I'm looking for someone to talk with over dinner." Anywhere from 20% to 100% positive response. At least 80% have friends or family who would be interested.
I attended one of those speed dating events in Ukraine in thee late 1990s. I dated a woman who was actually (still) married to a Russian mobster. Was it fun? Yes it was. Was it productive dating wise? Not really. Just roll with what life sends you way.
@@Lifebeyondthesea can happens but in every Country it gives bad people btw my Brother married Girl from Phillipin they seems they were happy, i see she often angers herself about him and after what 2,3 Years she broke up and can stay in Germany !!! btw she says sometimes she wanna be Model Stewardess or other bs she is Waitress off course and here intentions are not really good ans she dont learn good German, if that was from begin here plan or she switch to that after she sees the big charakter differences by here Man i dont know when 2 i m as my Brother are o.k with it with 1 not really !!!
I would never do an LDR again. Got shafted the first time. Met a Filipina on vacation. 4 months after found out she had a Canadian boyfriend who lived on a different island. All the while telling me she is looking forward to coming on holiday in New Zealand and moving here after visa processing
i am convinced from 12+ years of observation that the only LDR's which survive into a good marriage are either because the couple first spent 6+ months together every day, then did the LDR or... those few who are by sheer luck actually in love with each other enough to remain faithful and patient. even so, an LDR beyond a year is really pushing it.
They are complete scams. I have a coworker from Ukraine, who used to go to the socials ten-years ago in Odessa . She told me that most of the women went there for free food and drinks and maybe a K1 visa to vacation in America lol Because she's a specialist nurse she eventually got a work visa, thank God, because her hometown is now occupied by Russia.
Out of all the things you say in the dozens of your videos I've watched, the single most unbelievable thing is that you can go to a public space, walk up to a nice girl and say "hi", start a conversation, and she won't be mad, or offended or wonder what the hell is wrong with you. We Americans certainly can't do that in the states; if we did, it's more likely we'd wind up on a sex offender registry than get the girl's phone number. If you want to know why American men have given up and are increasingly going Otaku, that's why. I'm being honest with you, the idea of walk up to a woman you don't know and saying "hi" is terrifying in America.
i agree with you. chatting up a woman has become a toxic situation in the West. which is why i keep reminding men that it is not that way in the PH. it is totally a different mindset in the PH. which i often refer to as, "Opposite-land".
@@Lifebeyondthesea Have you ever told Philippina women about how things are in the states? Do they believe what things are like here? I'm pretty sure that in the next few decades, the rest of the world will become more like the west, as I think it's technology that's changing how women are and I see that technology going global, or do you think the Philippines and some other places can avoid changing?
yes, but they find it hard to believe for the most part. it makes no sense to them to be that rude without cause. in the PH, the culture is more polite in general society.. so it's hard for them to relate to a loud, screaming Karen or bitchy prima-donna in the west.
You are clearly spending far too much time online and not interacting with real people in the west. While there are some who might react badly to interacting with a stranger, having the guts to break the ice, and start a gentle conversation about anything with a stranger will typically lead to the other person, being very relieved that somebody else had the courage to start a conversation. People everywhere in the west are genuinely hungry for authentic connection, extending an invitation for coffee is not as offensive to others as you seem to think.
I mean if a guy need help to find a girl most western girls will despise him. The good thing with these events is that the safety of the girl is guaranteed but it is also the case on a date on a public restaurant. A side comment: when a friend came home with a Thai woman all his female relations ended even his sister.
"Yes", stay away. Such an extreme way of wasting money, when its so easy and more affordable to get better service etc in the Philippines. Other countrues it may be worth it. But for the Philippines... its so straightforward..... so no point in using such expensive packages. And those packagetpurs are soo overly saturated with scammers and bad apples and etc. Would not use such tourdating companies in any countrues.

Very informative. Thanks for taking the time
Glad it was helpful!
Hello and thanks for information and video. Never been attracted by those activities and was surprised they are actually illegal in the Philippines.
Many of these women have been to many of these gatherings. You are not the first foreigner they have ever met.
You are right..
Great information 🙏
Glad it was helpful!

I meet nice Filipino women on dating site she works in China she wants to come too canada should I do that
they also charge the girls high fees too I saw this happen at an event in cebu. a plane load of wealthy danish guys were shipped over I think the girls had to pay 10k peso to join the event.

I did speed dating sort of thing at a wine taste ing event one time there was no cost and it was kind of fun
Yes, they are a scam, and I just can't understand why guys fall for this crap. They're getting ripped off 🙄🤨🙄
I've heard of these things, but I never went to one . In fact I never heard of how to partake in one
you're not missing anything.
