First time to the Philippines it took me about 6 months to figure out I was being scammed. And guess what...the female security guard at the Hilton told me she's been there multiple times with other men. Wow boy did I feel like a Ding Dong. Also forgot to mention 5 months on Filipino Cupid first, then a month in Manila. Trust me Mike hit every red flag. Lesson learned.
@guydent9046 western women will do similar but Asian women are famous for it because they are so much better at it. :-) 😂 not to say they are all bad, only a small percentage. Some of it probably comes from the many broken promises made by western men who returned home.
This is all pretty solid advice. Haven’t been to the Philippines five times, Knowing the culture, Having married a Filipino 19 years ago, (got divorced) I thought I couldn’t be fooled. My eyes led me to a younger gorgeous Lady who was a youth pastor and schoolteacher. I kept seeing red flags, I was purposely blind. Fortunately, she didn’t get me for much…. A good learning experience. When I started to pressure her on the red flags, She started to get short and angry, then I knew and I had to cut bait to fish again.
Another excellent video. These are tips that apply to all women world wide. It took a long time to realize the truth. That women "like" certain men(who she will give herself willing for nothing) but have no problem with using guys she don't like if they offer her something she wants. She will fake being nice however providing her these things does not turn you into a "guy she wants" and you are easily disposed of as there is a long line of" undesired guys" waiting to do the same as you or even more. Given how "helping poor oppressed women" is endoctrinated into us very early, one can never hear your message often enough because it is so easy to fall for it over and over again unless you get severely burnt.
Females are all same doesn't matter where. Just be smart with everything especially with money. Don't flash around, just carry enough for that day. Use common sense.
Really great Mike. I have noticed some of those traits you talked about in some of the women I have met in Philippines, and I always head to the nearest exit sign before the wings fall off. Also guys remember sometimes the exit sign is located behind you.
Not only did my girlfriend want me to meet her family, her parents came with her to meet me at the airport! 😂🤣 I was very fortunate with my relationship!
One thing i found over here but then again maybe i'm different than most i'm 68 years old. I saw briefly a couple of 30s when i was here. Say ok but minds like 43 much more calm. All she cares about his making you happy these women are great over here
It’s also another reason why you don’t want to send too much as an allowance. I learned that one the hard way in the past. Once she has a steady income from YOU, she now has time and money to check out dating sites, and play around while you are not there…Live and learn. Another great video, and great content…👍
Stop chasing the young chickadees if you are looking for more than a roll in the hay . There is a plethora of over age 40 women here who are available. Just be patient !!!!!
Oooops! You forgot to evaluate the quality of the *SUBSTANCE* of the advice. Also, he's not a relationship expert. He has expertise with.... Filipinas IN the Philippines!
Its true, Filipinas will always be trying to save money. My Filipina wife doesn't even want me to rent when I get there....lol Your spot on everything here. Good video, mike...Jim
1.) Has children 2.) Treats you like a walking ATM 3.) Her family and friends always show up around dinner time 4.) Her family or friends need a loan 5.) Her family or friends want you to go into a business 6.) Her family want you to build them a house 7.) She spends most of her time in the cellphone 8.) Stops working once she starts dating you 9.) She starts with little lies 10.) She has expensive tastes.
I've been praying for relationship ... I rely on prayer I highly recommend that you rely on prayer. It's better than common sense... Common Sense can be wrong but I believe we should use that too
Something you didn't mention but has happened to me 2x in the last few weeks: just after starting chatting, they ask if I wanted them to come to me. One travel 40km, the other 2 islands. I'm thinking A, they want me to send money for transportation or B, they are rentals. Could be wrong, but what's your take?
It's certainly worth the time and effort to make sure to scope the facebook the x other common social media and do look at the friends and see what their record is on the friends really scope them out like a private eye. Processor side north i am raising my peso exchange estimate for the end of the year to p61.00. philippines have raised their interest rates to the highest level in 15 years. I believe that's going to make the peso go up it's been as high this week is 62 pesos for a while
Here’s number 11, She’s kind, she’ll talk to you one day, later on or the next day she’s ghosting. She can’t be an adult and just tell you what she is doing because she needs to keep her options open. Her options are low when she talks to you, and high when she doesn’t. MOVE ON! Here’s number 12, When they lock their FB account(s) you have no way to research anything. Dishonest, but smart, women have multiple FB accounts but will never tell you they do, and they are often under names other than hers to keep you from tracking her accounts. AGAIN, MOVE ON! Here’s number 13, She is on time, huh? Yeah that’s a woman who has been with a foreigner(s) that has got her straight on being on time. Is that a total deal breaker, maybe not but know what you are probably getting into.
@justingoodnow851 Good luck they are here waiting for newbies to empty their pockets .. You need to have someone here you know that can introduce you to a nice woman ..
I've got a real good one here. She doesn't push for anything. I tried to buy an engagement ring and she would not take it she said they were too much money. She waits on me hand in foot. I haven't cut one meal and almost 3 years i am in run any laundry nothing. I start asking for coffee in the morning and she says i know coffee and she run out there and there it is a minute and a half later. I wish i was here 20 years ago haha
Actually i was like that back in the usa after my divorce. Come on over here along being around a lot of happier people and people just a different vibe i'm just make way more social than i was at home
Do you want someone serious to marry? TALK TO THE GIRL'S FATHER! You want someone just to sleep with without any responsibility or commitment (like you do in the USA) Good luck!
mine has some red flags now that im here she goes every week to see her parents help her sisters says shell be home in 3 days comes back in 6 says shes going home for the day shell be back yet i ask her now at 1 am tells me to go to sleep shes coming but shes still at home........im getting ready to get out money is holding me back.
If you sense this you’re correct. You deserve better. That behavior in it of itself is not good. I live here and prior to getting married I dated quite a few women here that misrepresented themselves. Remember there are many many really great quality women available here that will appreciate a man like you. Take care…
HI Mike & Janet. This is Roy from Scotland. I am planning to travel to the Philippines early in 2025. Thanks Mike for your great 10 tips on Filipina Ladies this will be invaluable for me long term. Mike can you pls tell me how long it takes to open a Philippine Bank account so i can make International Foreign Currency Bank transfers to try and get the best GBP to PHP. Q. Which banks! would you recommend please? BDO, BPI or others? Are there any banks that will issue me with an ATM card with NO ATM Fees especially in the islands? and in Dumaguete? Thank You kindly Mike.
you likely won't get a Philippine bank account. But for sure you need an ACR-i card. but mostly that doesn't work now (unless you have a Filipina wife, or an SRRV)
So much negativity, You should get Janet to do a vlog finding the rite guy, And how to check his back ground, and is he seeing many other girls while he is visiting
Find someone roughly age appropriate, with a decent job, and at relatively the same socio-economic level as yourself, and most of these issues automatically go away. Granted, it may prove challenging to do so when you insert yourself into a foreign culture and you are competing with high value men from that culture, but keep working on yourself, be patient, be selective, and wait for the right opportunity.
You chase Tic-Tok stars, you are one on 1000’s I Get multiple friends requests non stop from these little Sexy Stars trying to burn the bridge, Even Sex Video, I’m Vey good at Delete and Block, These women don’t care, Leave the Drama with them, He’s run like hell these women are evil, Great Video, There are Amazing Conserving women here, Trust me I married one, God Bless
Thats 1/2 the reason why men choose to go there. They can get a girl he couldnt otherwise attract at home. Whats wrong with that! Hes giving her a better life as she is with him.
Oh you are a little bit wrong they would definitely see him if his wallet was fat enough in the united states! The reason is most everyone has a price! Sad but true
@@mikesphilippineretirement .,. Mike, I've watched 1 of Gio's videos interviewing you and you mention that you lived in Cebu City for about 6 months. My question is that I'm living in Cebu now and thinking about moving to Dumaguete and wondering if you know how to ship some household goods from Cebu to Dumaguete? I've been here about 4 years and accumulate somethings in my condo and want to ship my things over there, like some boxes and electric fans. any companies would help.Thanks.
Thanks for the heads-up, Mike. Lots of great food for thought.
You bet!

Really? That’s crazy
I've had hotel security look out for me in similar ways.
Another reason why it pays to make friends with the staff downstairs…they can save you from losing money, or some serious heartbreak…
don't feel like a ding-dong. She's just good at being terrible. Move on and count your blessings.
@guydent9046 western women will do similar but Asian women are famous for it because they are so much better at it. :-) 😂 not to say they are all bad, only a small percentage. Some of it probably comes from the many broken promises made by western men who returned home.
Greetings! What a glorious day it is today, November 6th!
Top #1 reason not to find a new filipina girlfriend is that the Filipina Wife would be more than upset about it. Ha ha
Good point
😂 That could be a problem…lol
Also, does she have lots of pics in various hotels? If so ... Run, Forrest, RUN!
Be Spartan, no heart, no feelings, nothing can surprise you. And be happy and enjoy.
Yep then just walk away without saying anything...
Excellent advice. If you have a girl who has ANY of these signs, SHE BELONGS TO THE STREETS. Signed: RED BLACK Expat (Philippines) 🇵🇭

Hey Mike just saw your post 2 minutes ago. Can't wait to watch.
Thanks Joe Hope you enjoy the Video
You 're making a lot of great content...always enjoys your videos
Absolutely! I would not be surprised to see his channel hitting 100k subs anytime soon 😊✌️🏁
Keeping a running list, Thanks Mike. Peace and Love, B Goat

They always say, you’re the only one I’m chatting with
Like anyone believes it.
Janet sent us......
hahaha. ok
😅😅
Great advice buddy, especially for the few guys who have yet met online or wants to date a Filipina
Forget about online, ur just 1 of many suitors. Find one working at the mall, not there shopping.
Good video Mike, you hit the nail right on the heas.👍
Really great Mike. I have noticed some of those traits you talked about in some of the women I have met in Philippines, and I always head to the nearest exit sign before the wings fall off. Also guys remember sometimes the exit sign is located behind you.
So true .. Thanks Mike
Not only did my girlfriend want me to meet her family, her parents came with her to meet me at the airport! 😂🤣
I was very fortunate with my relationship!
If they have multiple pictures in resorts or famous beaches/places around the Philippines. Boracay, El Nido, chocolate hills, Siargao 🤔
Last week a filipina sent me her fb account....in 5 minutes I could see she had 8...EIGHT fb accounts...lol.
One thing i found over here but then again maybe i'm different than most i'm 68 years old. I saw briefly a couple of 30s when i was here. Say ok but minds like 43 much more calm. All she cares about his making you happy these women are great over here

Us old folks are not in a big rush so stay single with your lady for a while and make sure it's going to hold up that's all. Great post mike
Thanks for the good advice, it is much appreciated 🙏💯
Stop chasing the young chickadees if you are looking for more than a roll in the hay . There is a plethora of over age 40 women here who are available. Just be patient !!!!!
YES !!!
This is all very insightful
🤔Hmmm..... another relationship expert giving advice who has been divorced multiple times?
Oooops! You forgot to evaluate the quality of the *SUBSTANCE* of the advice. Also, he's not a relationship expert. He has expertise with.... Filipinas IN the Philippines!
Its true, Filipinas will always be trying to save money. My Filipina wife doesn't even want me to rent when I get there....lol
Your spot on everything here. Good video, mike...Jim
1.) Has children
2.) Treats you like a walking ATM
3.) Her family and friends always show up around dinner time
4.) Her family or friends need a loan
5.) Her family or friends want you to go into a business
6.) Her family want you to
build them a house
7.) She spends most of her time in the cellphone
8.) Stops working once she starts dating you
9.) She starts with little lies
10.) She has expensive tastes.
Superb diagnosis.
thanks for the video
All very true my wife is like that 2 years later after marriage
I've been praying for relationship ... I rely on prayer I highly recommend that you rely on prayer. It's better than common sense... Common Sense can be wrong but I believe we should use that too
Your great u know everything wow
GREAT INFORMATION 👍👍👍
Nice lil checklist to think about when you start contact with a woman over there.
HELLO MIKE... VIRGINIA.....!!
Hello
Sorry i forgot to say Scotland is 7 hours in time behind the Philippines so i keep missing your Live blogs.
Mike, you just described many Western women.
Excellent video.
Showing by your age - don’t over think the social media
Yes. always be very nice polite and respectable to your philippine gf. if she does not do as her bf says... get you a new one.
Something you didn't mention but has happened to me 2x in the last few weeks: just after starting chatting, they ask if I wanted them to come to me. One travel 40km, the other 2 islands.

Hello Mike!!
Hi
Great video ad always. Great advice, im.planning a trip to the Philippines next year and I'm hoping to find a good wife.
@justingoodnow851 Good luck they are here waiting for newbies to empty their pockets .. You need to have someone here you know that can introduce you to a nice woman ..
Hey Mike, off subject question for ya. Do you have any updates on how Paul "old dog" is doing?
I like living by myself, no commitments. We can hang out but you’re not staying the night.
What wrong with staying the night, without committment?
Chicks need benefits too.💛💪
I've got a real good one here. She doesn't push for anything. I tried to buy an engagement ring and she would not take it she said they were too much money. She waits on me hand in foot. I haven't cut one meal and almost 3 years i am in run any laundry nothing. I start asking for coffee in the morning and she says i know coffee and she run out there and there it is a minute and a half later. I wish i was here 20 years ago haha
Actually i was like that back in the usa after my divorce. Come on over here along being around a lot of happier people and people just a different vibe i'm just make way more social than i was at home
🤔, so that explains why the GF of Mike in Roxas ( that Philippines life )
doesn't introduce him to the family.
Good stuff Mike but you know what they say, caveat emptor, buyer beware!
Do you want someone serious to marry? TALK TO THE GIRL'S FATHER! You want someone just to sleep with without any responsibility or commitment (like you do in the USA) Good luck!
That’s like the question: Do I need a daily migraine ?
Hola Mike.
mine has some red flags now that im here she goes every week to see her parents help her sisters says shell be home in 3 days comes back in 6 says shes going home for the day shell be back yet i ask her now at 1 am tells me to go to sleep shes coming but shes still at home........im getting ready to get out money is holding me back.
Feel sorry for you , most of the girls are borne scammers and they love newbies . They know the ropes and how to empty their pockets get out now ..🙏🙏

Mike is 70.. he happy he got a girl half hes age... in usa 35 year olds wouldnt even see him.. like be seen as what he is an old man
Thats 1/2 the reason why men choose to go there. They can get a girl he couldnt otherwise attract at home. Whats wrong with that!
Hes giving her a better life as she is with him.
Oh you are a little bit wrong they would definitely see him if his wallet was fat enough in the united states! The reason is most everyone has a price! Sad but true
@6:20 that was my red flag, your a Filipina but yet own a recent iPhone and iWatch?
U.s.a, u.s.a ,,u.s.a ,u.s.a , trump.😂😂😂❤

Maybe someday
