      Any kind of lies? Well, you will be either alone or have a series of very short experiences with Filipinas. I think you are missing the point. Mike is telling you that this behavior is cultural. You WILL to a greater or lessor degree see some of this behavior. Accept it as truth and act accordingly. Accept little white lies and or repentance when she trusts you enough to be honest. Dating is fun for us Americans. For a Filipina, it truly is the hunger games. Lastly, these are some truly beautiful women, give them some grace, understand them and you will have one of the strongest relationships of your life

      You are wrong for that as you need to be 100% transparent in honest detail with your female partner and same with her to you. Critically think about why you are wrong as men and women are willing to share their private parts with each other but not their smartphone and everything apart of their private life.

      Aye Chi Wa Wa...!! What's the catch, you wonder ?
      I suspect there's a "backstory" that THIS mate isn't revealing... Lots of folks who come to the Philippines, are "on the run" from vampire wives, legal entanglements, fellow vengeful criminals, and who KNOWS what...!!
      Of course, there are the "standard wealth types", who are:
      Wealthy businessmen..
      Family Inheritance adventurers..
      Well-Paid Corporate "Branch
      Scarecrows...

      Members of the Military or Diplomats..

      False. You have to keep all the chat conversations and hopefully there is something in it where she says she is single. I had a situation like that and the husband was trying to blackmail me to report it to the Police and I would be going to jail. So I went to the police told them what happened I'd been blackmailed and introduced the evidence she said she was single. They both got arrested. If you are unlucky and you get a corrupt police officer 100 bucks will do the trick with them.

      If the husband catches you he can murder you and get away with it. "When a legally married person surprises his spouse in the act of committing sexual intercourse with another person and kills one or both of them in the act or immediately thereafter, he may not be held liable for such killing if the death is the proximate result of the outrage overwhelming him after catching his spouse in the act of infidelity." (Search with that phrase).

    In 2000.I met a bargirl in George Bocobo St in Manila, who was actually 100% honest. On a visit in 2009 I met a waitress from Cebu who lied about not having children even though I noticed stretch marks on her body, which initially prompted the question. She asked me to marry her about 6 months ago claiming she's always loved me since '09, but she's since had 2 more children from another fella and worked as an aupair in Saudi Arabia for one year recently, yet she wanted money from me to gain entry paper's for UAE. Yes I've since blocked her.

    It's absolutely true that not all Filipinas are cheaters. In my case, I've had conversations with many Filipinas, and after a year of chatting, I met a genuinely honest and pure-hearted Filipina. She comes from a very respectable family. We were friends for three years before I visited the Philippines and married her. Now, we have two children, and we're living in the USA. She's a professional gynecologist, and I work as an economist.

      Hopefully she has not been contaminated by modern day western feminism, which contaminates non tainted, non western minded women.
      Wish you well and hope all stays put together, for the better and not for the worse.
      Although not all, but usually women will buy into the new age toxic feminism stuff, and change for the worse sooner or later, even the women that were brought in / imported from other places.

    From everything you are telling in this video, Mike, I can deduct (although I knew this already) that honesty is a major issue in the Philippines. Yes, they will lie to you! Yes, they may have a husband or a boyfriend stashed away somewhere! Yes, they may want to be with you for your money and not for love! That's why I'm seriously considering having my next girlfriend checked out by a private investigator. And this also explains where their jealousy and insecurity comes from. They are not upfront with you, so they expect you to have a sceleton in your cupboard as well. They know that they are lying to you, so why should they assume that you are being honest with them? I'm glad you have found a good Filipina, Mike, but for every guy like you there are probably 10 who were not that lucky!

    Good advice, all of it! My plan when I get over there is to stay off the dating sites altogether, then go try out 7-8 different areas for a couple months at a time each, "date the location" first, before deciding which location I want to "marry." Once I find my permanent place, THEN I'll start thinking about dating, and I'll try it organically for the first few months. If not successful, only then will I consider trying online.

    The biggest mistake I made in the Philippines was to live with a single mother in Palawan. Everything was fine for 2 months, then one day she asked me to lend her 20k pesos to get her jewelry out of the pawn shop. She said her parents would give me it back the following day but of course she only paid back 6k, all planned. I wasn't aware of her debts and I just couldn't be bothered to leave her and the sum wasn't really huge so I stayed there.
    I was very cautious to give her anything else after that but I left her after further bad behaviour and a couple of dubious thefts .

    mike, very good advice, so clearly put. danger is when one gets infatuated or emotionally involved, one may break those rules, especially if one comes from a scarcity mindset. the overall message i get is take things slowly, a step at a time. you’ll inevitably go through a lot of frogs before you find a princess, if at all. maintain your frame at all times. in a younger woman, her unspoken hidden long term agenda will slowly become clear. if your goal is simply long term girlfriend without cohabitation , marriage, kids or buying a house together, only finance costs for time you spend together, never capital items or family help. from australia.

    When you compliment a Filipina that she's beautiful and they say "no I'm not", it's not so much that they're insecure as much as it's part of the culture's humility to deflect praise. Because saying "thank you" is interpreted as "yes, I am beautiful" and that is something they loathe upon.

After the husband divorced her then she took 2 kids away from her ex moved to California not only received child support from her ex but also wrongfully accused her ex not paying child support at the same time she was collecting welfare from state of California for years until the ex took her to the court. All she wanted is married someone who is American,any American who will fall for her and take her away from the poverty.

      I'm glad social media wasn't around back then! Such a hassle!
      I was lucky to end up with a wonderful Filipina. We dated for close to 2 yrs before living together. Many times we were chaperoned by one of her sisters or cousin. They knew they were getting a steak dinner😅. She never asked for money. Has a very nice large family. Never lied about her situation. It's probably why we've been married 38 yrs with 3 wonderful adult children. She became a U.S. citizen. Staying in the P.I. wasn't an option she wanted. Though we do stay there part time throughout the year.
      But if you end up with a "bad" one, they can make your life miserable. Be very careful. So many just see you as a walking ATM.

If she likes you she will come on strong, coming from the west it was refreshing and scary at the same time. If she does not snoop your phone she does not really like you. I really hated this one but I have learned to treat my phone as open. I can't remember to turn it off every time. The rest is 100% accurate. But I would prefer a woman that really loves me and is a bit crazy/jealous rather than all western women who just ignore me. A safety valve is no marriage and renting only for me. Cam

    Hi Mike, good to know all these ‘dark’ secrets. Wow, it seems us men really need to be observant and careful prior to entering a relationship with a Filipina. As for me, I’m a minimalist who lives a simple life.
    I won’t be taking my girlfriend and her cousin on any vacations and paying for everyone... lol. Lot’s to be careful about. One question: are all these secrets quite rare OR fairly common??

    Having kids or a husband are not little secrets. That's huge.
    You shouldn't expect someone to reply by text within 5 minutes. That's unreasonable. I almost never do that. If she's good looking she's going to have a bunch of guys courting her. Of course she's weighing her options. Unless you marry her you have nothing to complain about.
