  • I asked my friend Ellie to help me with this video. If you come to the Philippines, you will see beautiful Filipinas with young, old, skinny, chubby, short, tall, rich and poor guys alike. So what's actually going on behind the scenes? Why can't some guys find love in the Philippines? Let me explain.

    There are hundreds of videos covering this same topic.
    Consider making a video explaining to Filipinas how they can attract a quality man from another country:
    Don’t lie
    Be on time
    Put your phone down
    Don’t bring friends/relatives on a date
    Try engage in an interesting conversation
    Don’t ask for money
    If the relationship progresses, don’t allow others to destroy it by begging for money.
    Ladies, you have a very short window of opportunity to make decisions that will result in a wonderful life. Choose wisely.

    Maturity, sense of humor, respect for the Filipina, her culture, her family, good listener, humble, no addictions and sense of accomplishment and stability are very attractive for LTR with Filipinas

      Maturity + + + (if by this you mean competence and leadership qualities)
      Respect for the Filipina - - -
      Respect for her Culture - - (it means cucking to this primitive "saving face" crap)
      Respect for her Family +
      Good listener - -
      Humble - -
      No addictions -
      Sense of accomplishment + + + (being _the best_ at something)
      Stability - - -
      You're welcome.
      BTW...
      LTR = Using you for protection, provision, and stability without reciprocating with respect, loyalty, and genuine passionate love.

    When visiting the Philippines, don't buy just rent. You can get daily, weekly or monthly rates - with no contract. If you do decide to go long term consider leasing - still with no contract. What a country!

    My criteria is very simple almost like an Excel formula. If she, is nice and cute and loving person, great, but if she has no money and expects me to pay for everything, I will simply walk away. Also, I will not be building a house (Prefer to rent) or starting any kind of business, if this is also propositioned see above, walk away immediately.

    So many guys think women are all alike and have only a single motivator. They need to turn off the TV and engage with reality. Only a psychopath has a single motivation. And cultures are different. What matters in one doesn't matter in another culture. The superficial qualities western women want are not the same as what Filipinas want. And while different Filipinas have different things they look for, loyalty is almost universal. Sadly, that is not viewed as valuable in the west by women, except for those that married before turning 25.

  • @DavidBrockes
    @DavidBrockes 7 днів тому

    The poor guy will not last because everyone needs money to survive. The poorer the family the higher the likelyhood of more pressure on the foreigner to contribute (as a general rule). It's all really up to the Pinay and how realistic her expectations are, then the expectations of the family, then the type of family, there could be lots of chismis or marites, but given that they are so catholic I am sure they don't do that.......🤣😂🤣😂. Don't forget about the utang na loob. Basically, chose your Pinay carefully or you will get chewed up and spat out regardless of how cute she is. So, look through her eyes as to her expectations of you, then make your decisions. It's all about how she see's the world and how she see's you, and how her family see you and treat you. Remember, you're marrying the family, that's fine if you get a good realistic one but I think the odds are stacked far higher against you if the age gap is high and/or the Pinay is a 9 or 10. This is the age of the internet and Pinay's have phones and many more options than ever before😆. You might hit the jackpot but I think that it's highly likely you will spend quite a while before finding a most suitable partner, if that is what you are looking for. Fun casual girls shouldn't really be hard to spot if you are open and honest, but if you are punching above your weight it must get harder, it's just a statistical truth. If you have personality and a great bod, and take care in your appearance, then you're over half way there.....😆😆😆what you lack in one area you will have to make up for in another. Be picky and observant, and if it looks like trouble and it's all going sideways......run Forrest......😂🤣😂🤣
