John/Marco This was a great vid. She was articulate and confident and your questions were spot on. I appreciated he candor and openess. Keep the great content comming.
John you getting me addicted to your channel. So you will need to drop more content like this. really like your style of interview, the guests, set up and the questions
Your guest is so confident, smart, attractive and funny with lots of personality. Insightful interview, GREAT questions. Okay...maybe change up the interrogation vibe. Thanks to you two (three) for the vlog 🙂
Really appreciate this video and quite well done! One of your best to date I think. I enjoyed the depth of some of Filipino culture and its effects on family and relationships. Nothing wrong with a girl who says it is up to you, it is approperiate female nature as it is the man's job to lead and take charge! Go eat where you want and if she has a preference, then give her the option to speak it but otherwise, go where you want. I've never understood how that is so complcated for men to understand. Good work guys. Going to be tough to keep up this level of content.
hey other Trinidad it’s good to hear from you. :-) Yes that's a great idea. I’ll work on that and if you ever have anyone that you would recommend on the channel or want to be on the channel please let me know.
The 'I'm gonna make this work, no matter what' isn't being manipulated. Those were the rules YOU chose. For whatever reason. This goes on all around the world. Sometimes the gal, sometimes the guy. Probably the most important thing in ANY new relationship is honesty. And that is normally the last thing that happens. Only to find out later that you two aren't compatible. Why? Wasted time. Wasted energy. We all put our best foot forward in the beginning. But keep it honest. If you hate when she... Or I can't stand it when he.... These are the important conversations that need to happen from the beginning. He might not even think about where his socks end up. Drives her nuts. Instead of a conversation, it waits to boil over. When if she just said'put your dang socks HERE'. Problem solved. He didn't even know it was a problem until it's too late. He can't stand when you hang your bra in the shower. But he says nothing, untill.... These little things could have been avoided by being honest upfront.
The water at Laguna beach in southern California is so clean and clear you can see far in the water same as ph ,fyi also it has great waves and so does San Clemente. But of course our water is colder . The water is warmer there in the ph of course but people throw so much trash.
Main difference between Filipino (traditional Asian culture) versus modern Western culture: - the rights of the individual surpasses the rights of the collective (Western) - the rights of the collective surpasses the right of the individual (Asia) Another wisdom of truth is that you will not get to know someone untill for an extended time period: - you have lived with that person - you have worked with that person - you have travelled with that person
How do I say this without sounding like a misogynist red pill guy? This is one of the few women who is actually worth listening to, most of them don't know their foot from a hole in the ground. Asking a woman what she wants or her opinion is normally completely wasting time, usually they are very confused about everything, their opinions are mostly just parroting what they have heard from the man.
@WatchCaliforniaExpat I'm glad that didn't sound negative against women, not at all, I plan to leave Anaheim in 2026, to find a Pinay to grow old together
Being in a relationship with someone from another country often means dealing with cultural comparisons and stereotypical discussions every day. Phrases like "We don't do this back home" or "What's that weird smelly thing you're eating?" can become incredibly irritating and contentious, making it feel like everything about your society is wrong, unlike theirs, and be sorry or defensive about it.
I agree. Most Westerners are exposed to different cultures, free from negative stereotypical judgments, and love Muslims. They even enjoy eating sweet spaghetti and dried fish, a Filipino staple. Even Koreans have great respect for Southeast Asians. They are all mature and very sophisticated, like you.
Loved the interview. She said she was manipulated & you asked her how. She then proceeded to say because she was independent & told herself to do whatever he wanted? So the guy manipulated her by her own decisions? Surprised you guys did not pull her up on that & let her get away with it. Just shows it doesn’t matter if Filipina or western women, these dangerous & overused words are still used by them. Please try & call out this type of language when it occurs. Cheers lads!

She seems so sweet and has her act together. A applaud her for what she wants in life. I wish her the best in her search. 😊

You’re right transparency from the start it helps a lot

Hey great to meet you in Red Lizard the other day.
Hi John, great to meet you too. How long are you here for again?
Main difference between Filipino (traditional Asian culture) versus modern Western culture:
- the rights of the individual surpasses the rights of the collective (Western)
- the rights of the collective surpasses the right of the individual (Asia)
Another wisdom of truth is that you will not get to know someone untill for an extended time period:
- you have lived with that person
- you have worked with that person
- you have travelled with that person
You are really getting some beautiful and articulate people on these days and I'm not talking about Marco.
It's thanks to Marco Madie was on. He introduced us. Hope you enjoyed the interview
@@WatchCaliforniaExpat Just joking about Marco. That was one of your best for the insight into a filipina's thinking
appreciate it Greg

I don't think it's misogynist, most women and men are the same in that regard. Madie is always great to talk to and a thoughtful person.

Mature people with exposure to different cultures would never say those things. I see that as a sign someone lacks sophistication.
@@liamstone3437 Just because you're exposed doesn't mean that you have to like it.

@@BatutaTatuba-m8w Keep talking, you're making my point for me.
@@liamstone3437Continue responding; it demonstrates your sophistication
Well that was entirely too short. When is part 2?? 😅
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Mic Drop know yourself. LOve it. Western Men should learn that as well.
Thanks for watching and sharing.
