LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines Podcast

@joepianpiano • 1 day ago
Try and be honest w yourself, why would a girl 22-25 marry a guy near retirement if it wasn't to take care of her family? Filipino girls are no different from women anywhere else. I see guys online bullshitting themselves that, oh they prefer mature men and their submissive nature means they really prefer a guy almost 60± ... Yeah, sure.

In case you are wondering, I'm married to a woman from the Philippines. We met when we were both working in Hong Kong in our late 20s. She wasn't a domestic helper, she had her own very good career that rivalled mine. We've been married 30 years, I understand the language, have loads of Filipino friends, visited more than 100 times and jointly own property there.

My wife and I and have talked many times about the situation of young Filipinas married to older western guys many times. The motivation is as obvious as the nose on your face. Now, that doesn't mean that it can't work out for both parties but the odds for success in the long run are pretty slim, especially w a young, single girl w no children. I've seen these situations turn into an absolute nightmare for the guys far more often than I have seen it work.

If she was a 25 yo woman in your own country and you were somewhat wealthy what do you think that woman would be looking for marrying a 60 yo guy? Don't con yourselves guys, if you are going to go this route go in w your eyes open. Or maybe look to meet women closer to your age, in the Philippines or elsewhere, and let your relationship develop on a real, solid basis.

this is the assumption many make, that it's all about money for the family. as if a woman is willing to throw herself into marrying someone she doesn't love like some kind of martyr.

that makes for good soap opera, and some women may do this. but it is still a simplistic assumption. in the USA, my step-dad and mom financially supported my grandmother (my mother's mother) until she passed away. my mom was working full-time as a nursing aide in a nearby hospital and had already been supporting my grandmother years before she married my step-dad.

to think the ONLY reason a filipina chooses a financially stable man over a poor one is to miss the bigger picture. "honor your parents" involves more than just nice words at holidays. it involves making sure their needs are met.

When you are screening women during the dating process you can find out easily if they are a narcissist. Just ask them this one question. What’s your biggest life regret? Narcissists do not feel they make mistakes when bad things happen it is always someone else’s fault. They lack any kind of accountability so yeah sadly yeah there are a lot of narcissistic women.

yes. an NPD has zero self-accountability. "everyone else has the problem."

i recently watched a video of a train-wreck expat loser currently in vietnam. he got asked to leave the pool area while livestreaming people in the pool, cursing, and drinking. naturally, he slowly left but muttering under his breath the entire time how "everyone in the condo" was a loser and that the security guards were just out to harass him.

he has that same reaction every time he's asked to leave a bar, or even pay his tab. total loser.

Because PHILIPPINAS - 90% if not 95% are CATHOLICS & According to "Catholic Church" they are NOT ALLOWED to use CONDOMS. PERIOD. ❌

Reply
@Lifebeyondthesea

no. wrong. you obviously did not think this through.

"if" 90% of filipinas were so obedient to the catholic church about condoms... they'd also have the same conviction against premarital sex.

in case i went too fast for you; no premarital sex = no premarital babies = no single moms.

take all the time you need.

Another option to consider as an expat, Malaysia. As you can see here, a very comfortable place to adjust to.

Interesting times ahead, Fiat meaning order by decree refers to paper currency, real money has always been gold and silver.

Reply
@Lifebeyondthesea

yes, exactly. currency that is not backed by an asset (such as gold/silver). but rather, fiat currency has value simply because the govt issuing says it does. ie; “backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.”

japan, europe, and philippines are also fiat currencies, along with others.
