Exactly right. Most women can’t take care of themselves financially., yet they say they are strong and independent. Wait until the lights go out for an extended period of time
Pornography does not get you hauled into Human Resources or Divorce Court. These days, if you are a man, you are one argument away from losing everything.
Just don't do it at work or on a work-owned device. And, the ladies watch plenty of porn, and they have a big box of toys under their bed, on their nightstand, or in their closet that funds a multibillion-dollar sex toy industry. Nobody ever talks about how creepy it is for women to watch porn or have sex toys all around the bedroom. Meanwhile, men are boxed into a corner with nowhere to go.
I've been with my Filipina wife for 2.5 years. Was married to my ex wife for 16 years. There's no comparison. I now wake up every morning thankful and feeling blessed to have my wife. With my ex I woke up every morning with a sense of dread of what kind of drama and misery awaited me.
That’s me. I’m done. I’m sick of being ghosted, ignored, rejected. That’s all I encountered. Let 99% of women chase the top 5% of men. I will just sit back and watch things implode
@brianwaller, I'm sorry to hear that Brother and I mean " Brother" , I was going to give up totally early this, I was Lucky to find a Lady who I have been with 6 months ( I'm in a Western Anglo Saxon country), I have been deliberately taking the relationship slow and have walked baby steps I have put her through various Tests and will continue to, She has said she Loves me, I then asked 4 or 5 times and she was sure of Loving me, I have not fallen in love yet.

As a widower for several years, I recently traveled to Thailand for vacation. Although I met and spoke to a few friendly and beautiful Thai women, I had no interest or desire to pursue a relationship again. I have become accustomed to the peace and quiet of being on my own and the level of freedom to live life on my terms. We all have to choose the life we want and go from there.
Relationships in the English speaking west are just too risky, too much drama and just...too unpleasant for men. The ladies are just insufferable...too much work. First dates now are little more than a job interview....that you pay for. I was married for 30+ yrs, the last 10 yrs was an absolute nightmare. I would work all day (had a well paying professional career) and dread going home. Anecdotally...amongst my family/friends/former workmates, 60% are divorced and 35% are stuck in miserable marriages...I know 2 cpls that appear to be happy. Divorced in 2017 and moved out of the US...lost 60% of my net worth to a cheating wife. Nah yeh nah...never again.
For some reason once you sign the contract it's the beginning of the end, but you better not drag it to the point that you dread going home, that sounds horrifying.

Great content Mark! As a Canadian in my 50s I don't date CDN women anymore. Once divorced...it's the old saying "once burnt... twice shy" And a few guys get burnt again when they goto collect CPP (aka our version of USA social security) at age 65 and half there CPP credits have been transferred to the Ex and they collect less than they were expecting. A real final kick in the B###s
I stopped dating in the U.S. I am 51 years old, never married, no kids. I am willing to date overseas and have a long term relationship. Here in the U.S.? No way. I am done!
Hi Mark, society has changed!. Western women see marriage as a career path, & divorce as a retirement plan. In fact, 60% of all weddings in the west are just a pre-divorce ceremony. You'll also notice that in recent times, there has been a gradual upgrade in the Philippines, in that there's a growing middle class... Filipinas are gradually becoming more westernised. & absolute divorce is not so far off for the Philippines. 😬
As a lone voice here, I'm a woman, 66 and single for 21 years, live alone happily, have my own home I bought, my own retirement and money i earned, no debt, no alimony, or any income from my ex, which i never wanted. Not all women are succubus. There are many of us who also don't want to be in a relationship for the same reasons as men. I have had several men ask me to marry them "to take care of them." No. I've cared for my ex, the children, dying parents with no help. I'm taking care of myself. Hiking, kyacking, traveling, and hobbies. I'm a hermit type anyways so I'm good.
Oh there are good women out there. But their husbands don't let go of those. Regarding single women, the odds are not good, even if they appear good in the honeymoon phase. The Family Code is intentionally stacked against the guy.
Monique you are matched by many men here, probably a ratio one could quantify, God alone knows. I'm a widower of 3.5 years - and S L O O O W L Y becoming as you describe yourself. Not by direct choice but of necessity - what my wife & I shared for 32 years was SO precious & genuine - and SO hard to reproduce again with a stranger that every effort seems fake & forced. I think unless Providence puts me on the path with a widow of similar experience who shares a desire to "live again in love" - above age 60 - I shall remain Single. Never thought I'd say that ! First year I lost my Sheri it was daily "tears & why me !?!" Now I'm at peace with it being both the Will of God & my reality. I'm not a hermit type - but I am auditioning for the role... All the best - David
Everything you said is 100% correct. Also the internet is the worst and best invention to happen. I was alive before the internet and I'd prefer pre internet.
The problem with America is the excessive materialism. A lot of these "modern" women are spoiled & selfish. I'm sure there are some traditional Christian women but they're probably taken. I'm a woman in my Low 60s, and I am very traditional. After a messy divorce In the U.S I left for Finland 12 years ago. It's a whole different ball game over here. Nobody cares about the size of your house or portfolio. Most people here judge you on your character. It's refreshing.
That's what I'll do in a few years after I retire at 66 and got my health so far to do whatever I want to do which is to be in the great outdoors a lot more !!!
As a recently divorced person, married for 8 years. First marriage, and most probably my last. It is the burn out that gets you You commit and love someone then it degenerates to very stressful drama and betrayal. Perhaps when you are young you still have a very wide berth, but when you are in your late 50's or early 60's, and you have health issues and mortality has become a reality, you just don't want to deal with the stress and drama anymore. It is just not worth it. You just don't want to stress yourself with all that BS just to get laid. Not worth it. As Reekay of Life Beyond the Sea so insightfully said in one of his uploads. "Sometimes, it is better to be alone, than being with someone and you wish you are alone." Anyone who experienced a dying relationship knows what that means.
Hey Mark. Wow. What a topic indeed. So. As a disclaimer I will say that I was in a 30 year relationship. I was married 28.5 years of that and then she died of cancer. That was 8 years ago. I fully understood that things changed in America. The ladies seemed entitled and wanted an upgrade from where they are to even date you. Then I came to SE Asia. Add language barrier. They too want an upgrade. I tried a relationship with a Filipina not quite 20 years younger but for the sake of argument she was 43 and I was 63. She had 2 Twenty something sons. Talk about hey who is this foreigner? I tried to make it work for over a year. It was a losing battle. No one bothered to talk in English much less to me. It is worse to be with people and feel alone than it is to be alone. It was ok for her sons to steal from me. It was ok to ask me for money to give to her family and friends. This Filipina had all kinds of utang and she was OFW and I had to pay for it all. She worked hard for a long time but when I came, she laid on the couch and took naps. So did her sons. Everyone sleeps nicely except me! All of the horror stories I heard of... they were embodied in this one Filipina. My goodness. I am NOT dating anymore. You bet. It is no different here than anywhere else. If you guys find a good one ... congratulations. Count me out. They all figured I was Bill Gates rich. They all thought I would just pay everything and give them the life they always wanted. Even though I told her I was Pobre before I met her. They do not believe you! They think that is a joke. Well, they thought wrong. I saw how it was in the States and I see how it is in SE Asia. I. Am. Done. Permanently. Trust and believe... this is no utopia for dating.
@sortbylowhigh9574 How indeed. Well… I hopped on the bus Gus, i didn’t need to discuss much, I just dropped off the key Lee and set myself free. Ya gotta love Paul Simon at times like that. Couldn’t resist using that one.
Great video 😊I agree with everything you said so articulated. I am blessed I married a traditional woman together 35 plus years here in America. I doubt I could ever meet another American women like her . God forbid she passes before me it would really change my life. Thanks for the video and congratulations on the birth of your child.
Mark, wherever you are in the world it’s all about status money and Looks. The average guy has no status in the United States, but if he travels to Latin America parts of Europe and Southeast Asia, he walks off the plane with #Status!
Women (and the American culture) have changed more than men over the last couple decades. Men watching porn is more of a reaction/symptom than a cause. This is why lots of American men are are attracted to Filipino women with traditional values.
What tractional value? Filipinas are much more willing to sleep with a guy on the first date. The proof most single Filipinas have a child . Why always but women down ? If man would treat their wife’s as the do there Filipinas Maybe there would be better longer lasting marriages . I married for 56 years to the same man. Of course I never hounded my husband for things we could not afford. But I also know man that not put a lots of thought in to there marriages . The wanted a big truck ,a boat motor home ,big holidays while the wife’s could not buy cloth for themselves or the children All these expats complain about there wife’s but there are man out there that are narcissist to.
@@EvelinHolmes Filipinas will step on the scale in front of a man (when asked). How much do you weigh is a question you would NEVER provide an HONEST answer for. That's 1 difference of many many many.
Yup, there is a reason vasectomies are on the rise in the west, and not just older men. Almost every guy I know who is over 50 has been snipped... and before I go overseas, I will be part of that group too. Don't need any more kids (aka dependants and 18 years min of child support).
I'm a 40-year old Canadian. I have no interest in western women generally. For me, it is more of the materialistic, entitled, attitude that many western women have. Of course, I have met some amazing, humble, SEA women in my travels, and that reinforces my feelings. I see so many married men in North America who are unhappy. Even just walking down the street here, listening to some conversations...I thank god that I am not attached to women like that. Not to mention the fact that I have my free time to myself and I'm saving a LOT of money. I travel 2 or 3 times per year, mainly to Thailand for now, and that keeps me more than happy until such time as I can afford to move to SEA and find a woman who is genuinely loving, attractive, humble and family oriented.
Unfortunately, the upside of marrying or cohabitation with a woman as you get older has very little to no upside. When we are younger it may be slightly attractive if we want kids or a family, but even then, it is incredibly risky because of the court systems in the United States and that the statistics are very high you will divorce and that those divorces are initiated by women. No one wants to put in the time to make those relationships work and last. I read that many women initiate divorce because they are bored or think they can do better. As we get older and have more assets to lose and quite honestly have less patience for the B.S., being alone with yourself and having a good dog and friends is all we really need. Some say they are scared to die alone, but we all die alone and no guarantee that she will stay with you and that you won't lose everything taking that chance. It's just not worth the risks vs. the slight chance of any possible gains.
Everything that you said was spot on. Appreciate your thoughts on the topic. Enjoy the variety of topics you have on your channel. All the best to you, Jen, and Rogan.
You made a lot of great points here, Mark. I would just like to add that many Filipinas by age 20 have a 10 year headstart in lifeskills on their western counterparts. This is not a knock on our women, but it strengthens the case for age gap relationships like yours.👍🏽🏝🇵🇭
Pascal, the 17th century French philosopher wrote that " .. all of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone ..". Married with kids is one thing but the idea of an older single man wanting female company 24/7 is sad. if you want someone to cook, clean, take care of you etc, and are willing to forfeit your privacy, space then fire away. I guess if you have no hobbies, tend to be lonely, depressed, drink a lot etc, then maybe having a woman riding shotgun will be of use but I could never imagine compromising my hard fought for Independence, space to having Any woman in the house 24/7. If i want a fling, it is easily found. Treasure your Independence. Other people are invariably Trouble in the long run
The "need" for marriage and relationships for that matter is continually eroding in our time. Here is the situation as it stands today: women will not settle even if it means remaining single in their 20s, 30s and beyond. And on the other side, more and more men have become reluctant to play the game due to the high divorce rate in addition to dealing with the "female relationship playbook" *all* women follow. In simple terms, many men have come to the consensus that it's easier to be single and I am one of them. 52 male, never married and no kids. What does it all mean? It means that their will be more and more single people!
Really good analysis and rendering. Your take paints a realistic picture of the situation today. Thanks for taking time to address this and shedding light on this situation.
My wife died. I need to retire soon. No dating is going to get in the way of that. I can easily see myself single for the rest of my life. I don't let sex control my life and lead me around.
Good old days is fiction. I remember in the early seventies I was a young man and all the married men I worked with all said do yourself a favor never get married. They were unhappy then also.
The problem is if men over 50 day women over 50 they match their feminine menopausal energy and their testosterone drops and it’s game over in the bedroom! Cheers from Medellin Colombia! 💃🏽💃🏽🕺🏽 🇨🇴
Excellent points that you bring to the surface,I agree 100%. Would love to have a good woman in my life,it just isn’t in the cards for myself,to many gold diggers out there.
On 6 different dating sites, each one like having a singles bar in your pocket. My left-swipe wrist motion is getting one hell of a workout. Even when you DO find someone worth swiping right on, they either don't respond, or maybe they'll trickle out 2-3 word responses every 3 days, and god forbid anyone actually agree to MEET in person! Can't wait to get over there!
Hi Mark. I like your shirt with the nice Lion in the background. The colours match and blend. Your subject on older men and dating was interesting and relevant. Your audio and voice were clear and easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time to make a professional presentation.
The last girl I dated I had her over a couple times in the late morning and made her brunch, had her over for dinner twice, took her out to eat twice. I’m retired but work a couple days a week driving for a limo service, a few times I got stuck late at night at the airport waiting for a delayed flight, so I had no dinner. She knew this cuz she was up my ass texting me all day. ALL SHE HAD TO DO at a minimum was bring me over a WaWa hoagie or a ten dollar Chinese take out WHEN I GOT HOME from work. Like she couldn’t even think to hook me up! It was pathetic! She didn’t even have a real job so there was no excuse that she didn’t have time. She got dumped real quick!
Thank you for the video! I'll be 58 in a few months, relatively successful, very muscular and considered handsome by most. I can assure you PORN is not the problem, men have always wanted to have sex with women. Unfortunately the requirements to have sex with even a below average women is too high, not to mention the risk of getting accused of rape etc. I have no problem attracting women more than half my age in the USA but I prefer to travel outside the USA to date. I live in Florida and fly to Medellín Colombia 6 to 7 times a year to "date"😉 I don't date in the USA it's not worth it for too many reasons to list but thank you for covering most of them 😉🥰😍🥰✈️✈️
In the states now, in corporate culture, if you compliment that is harassment. I was in management, we were told by HR that the courts always support the woman, even if not true they are considered the passive party. The man is automatically the aggressor.
Widower after 18.5 years with my wife, so not porn, but it took me 3 years to find her and just watched a lot of TH-cams and wanted a Filipina with traditional values. Economics was important. A western female would want too much stuff. My Filipina is a widow only 8 years younger than me, and so far so good. I am pretty darned happy.
I’m old and I look old, but I didn’t like women my age at all. Lucky for me I met and married a woman my age who is petite, feminine, and very personable. I found a new life!
For me, it's simple. These women didn't want me in my youth. They didn't want to share the struggle to build a life together. They wanted the palace without the work. I had to work alone. Now that the work is done, they want to come in, and change everything I built to suit their taste. I like it the way it is! Why give up my work, my happiness for someone who obviously doesn't appreciate my work, style, etc.??? No. I wasn't good enough for them in my youth. I don't need them now. I don't need the drama, etc. I'm pushing 60. It's too late to start a family now. I'm tired. ALL I want now is peace and quiet while I coast across the finish line. As for a legacy, it's too late for that too! My estate goes to Charity. Not some golddigging schrew! They chose the game. I'm not playing anymore. I'll live with my choice. They can do the same.
When I moved from The northeast to Florida in 2018 I thought all The beaches like siesta key, lido beach, Venice beach etc would have hot girls in bikinis- wow I was disappointed. All fat people. Entire beach hundreds of people. Maybe 3 or 4 fit attractive girls
I've been living in Vietnam for the past 6 years. Prior to that, I was living in southwest Florida for almost 10 years. I was reminiscing tonight about all the nasty experiences I had when I was in the states. A majority of those bad experiences were with women. Some of them were people I worked for, some were clients for the companies I worked with and some were just people I met in the local area. These nasty, vicious and ill tempered women seemed to be triggered by the smallest irritation. Here in Vietnam, women always treat me with respect and I always return the favor. I hope things improve but until that day I will never return to America.
i'm single now, but can't complain because throughout my life i've had many girlfriends...so if i died tomorrow , i would die knowing i had my fair share.
After 38 years of marriage, my wife died, good lady good marriage. Remarried, again found a good lady, 13 months after our marriage she had a massive stroke, I’m her caregiver for the rest of my life, not her fault, she didn’t do anything wrong, but it’s the way things can play out sometimes. as a result of this, my retirement is over traveling is over. Everything I ever wanted to do in my retirement is over I don’t know that I would recommend marrying somebody late in life. It’s extremely risky, even when you have two good people with the best of intentions.
Some of the biggest lessons you dont learn the first time around. That goes for most of us. That positive attitude that generally helps you in life can hurt you in the family court. They all wanna wipe the smile off you face. They relish it. Most guys learn the second time. But many still show up for round 3. Good job now on damage control. Now you are wise and you earned it.
If you're not pulling women with your natural organic masculine presence, status and charm, the very best you can ever hope for is being a fcuked up schmuck beta-provider... That appreciation of where you stand in the lobster pecking order of dominance should imbue some Humility. Go forth and be free...
Fourth wife gone, now - one death, two divorces, a third coming up. I always felt bad after the departures, but not this time. I thought, sod it - I'm living for ME, now, and at the age of 76 I can't be bothered any more. It's like a relief to me, I can do as I like when I like, and where I like. I just do it on my own, now. I can cope, I cook, I'm clean, the house has never been tidier. I have a border collie for company. Don't need much more, really - certainly not the hassle from a disinterested wife.
In America, you lose have half your possessions and then there is the emotional side as well. Is it not that risking that financial loss a big deterent to starting a new relationship? Maybe the laws should be altered.
Men are waking up to the reality of the marriage institution. It's more of a business and the guys usually end up at getting screwed. There's no point and no benefit to men to get married. This is only in America 🇺🇸 but other countries are still traditional marriage and success rate higher due to culture.
Exactly on many points in this video. I’ve been the same lady for several years and the debt and financial concerns are a big thing. A lot has changed in the past 30 years and staying single is looking better all the time. Have experienced much the exact thing he talks about and it’s frustrating.
I agree for that is when men are truly at their happiest in their lives 100 % and a woman 10 times out of 10 will surely screw that up if you let her !!

I am an American, and an American woman is my last choice. She is all about material things and not love. That's why I am in the philippines.
Sure it is 😂
Quite true...
Been there done that, you jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
All the best you can also try Kenya Africa
Hi Mark, society has changed!.
Western women see marriage as a career path, & divorce as a retirement plan. In fact, 60% of all weddings in the west are just a pre-divorce ceremony. You'll also notice that in recent times, there has been a gradual upgrade in the Philippines, in that there's a growing middle class... Filipinas are gradually becoming more westernised.
& absolute divorce is not so far off for the Philippines. 😬
Filipinas have become so westernized that it will make your head spin . Especially the under 30 generation.
Womens nature is the same stay single pay the market rate...you cant get divorce raped if you dont get married 😊
Smart men don’t get married, anywhere … 😎
@@ma3stro681 "Why don't you love me Jenny?". " I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is!" 🤪. With apologies to Mr Gump. 😁
The marriage step is just a part of the divorce process.
you grew up in a time when women were raised better, families were intact, and people did NOT have unrealistic expectations in relationships or life
And you are exactly correct. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
@@everymanhasastory All of this happening today is by design.
I have a good friend that owns a business and every time he finds a woman she wants him to pay her bills.
As a lone voice here, I'm a woman, 66 and single for 21 years, live alone happily, have my own home I bought, my own retirement and money i earned, no debt, no alimony, or any income from my ex, which i never wanted. Not all women are succubus. There are many of us who also don't want to be in a relationship for the same reasons as men. I have had several men ask me to marry them "to take care of them." No. I've cared for my ex, the children, dying parents with no help. I'm taking care of myself. Hiking, kyacking, traveling, and hobbies. I'm a hermit type anyways so I'm good.
That's good that you're at peace with yourself.
Hay, how about going out for a cup of coffee, on me, Twin Falls Idaho!
Oh there are good women out there. But their husbands don't let go of those. Regarding single women, the odds are not good, even if they appear good in the honeymoon phase. The Family Code is intentionally stacked against the guy.
Monique you are matched by many men here, probably a ratio one could quantify, God alone knows.
I'm a widower of 3.5 years - and
S L O O O W L Y becoming as you describe yourself.
Not by direct choice but of necessity - what my wife & I shared for 32 years was SO precious & genuine - and SO hard to reproduce again with a stranger that every effort seems fake & forced.
I think unless Providence puts me on the path with a widow of similar experience who shares a desire to "live again in love" - above age 60 - I shall remain Single.
Never thought I'd say that !
First year I lost my Sheri it was daily "tears & why me !?!"
Now I'm at peace with it being both the Will of God & my reality.
I'm not a hermit type - but I am auditioning for the role...
All the best - David
Everything you said is 100% correct. Also the internet is the worst and best invention to happen. I was alive before the internet and I'd prefer pre internet.
Sad to say you're spot on Mark! I went through a few of the situations you talked about!
Getting married is like a Tornado...at first theres blowing & sucking...then suddely you lose your house 😊
Buahahahahaha... 😎-😭
The problem with America is the excessive materialism. A lot of these "modern" women are spoiled & selfish. I'm sure there are some traditional Christian women but they're probably taken. I'm a woman in my Low 60s, and I am very traditional. After a messy divorce In the U.S I left for Finland 12 years ago. It's a whole different ball game over here. Nobody cares about the size of your house or portfolio. Most people here judge you on your character. It's refreshing.
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts 😊 Nice to have a woman comment 😊
@anneofgreengable, you are 100% Correct
much as i agree with you ... wtf has christianity got to do with it ... respinsible for more grief, war, rape and pillage than abytjing else on earth
Interesting comment. Good to have a female prospective.
@garybrowning919 My mentality is a little different.Because I have lived in six different countries.
I've been married and divorced twice. Never again. I actually like being alone now. I'll get a dog. Unconditional love.
I don't blame you one bit.
For me being married only one time. Doesn’t take me two or three times. I would never get married again
That's what I'll do in a few years after I retire at 66 and got my health so far to do whatever I want to do which is to be in the great outdoors a lot more !!!
As a recently divorced person, married for 8 years.
First marriage, and most probably my last.
It is the burn out that gets you
You commit and love someone then it degenerates to very stressful drama and betrayal.
Perhaps when you are young you still have a very wide berth, but when you are in your late 50's or early 60's, and you have health issues and mortality has become a reality, you just don't want to deal with the stress and drama anymore.
It is just not worth it.
You just don't want to stress yourself with all that BS just to get laid.
Not worth it.
As Reekay of Life Beyond the Sea so insightfully said in one of his uploads.
"Sometimes, it is better to be alone, than being with someone and you wish you are alone."
Anyone who experienced a dying relationship knows what that means.
Excellent comments, Mark. You are right on, all points.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
Hey Mark. Wow. What a topic indeed. So. As a disclaimer I will say that I was in a 30 year relationship. I was married 28.5 years of that and then she died of cancer. That was 8 years ago. I fully understood that things changed in America. The ladies seemed entitled and wanted an upgrade from where they are to even date you. Then I came to SE Asia. Add language barrier. They too want an upgrade. I tried a relationship with a Filipina not quite 20 years younger but for the sake of argument she was 43 and I was 63. She had 2 Twenty something sons. Talk about hey who is this foreigner? I tried to make it work for over a year. It was a losing battle. No one bothered to talk in English much less to me. It is worse to be with people and feel alone than it is to be alone. It was ok for her sons to steal from me. It was ok to ask me for money to give to her family and friends. This Filipina had all kinds of utang and she was OFW and I had to pay for it all. She worked hard for a long time but when I came, she laid on the couch and took naps. So did her sons. Everyone sleeps nicely except me! All of the horror stories I heard of... they were embodied in this one Filipina. My goodness. I am NOT dating anymore. You bet. It is no different here than anywhere else. If you guys find a good one ... congratulations. Count me out. They all figured I was Bill Gates rich. They all thought I would just pay everything and give them the life they always wanted. Even though I told her I was Pobre before I met her. They do not believe you! They think that is a joke. Well, they thought wrong. I saw how it was in the States and I see how it is in SE Asia. I. Am. Done. Permanently. Trust and believe... this is no utopia for dating.
@sortbylowhigh9574 How indeed. Well… I hopped on the bus Gus, i didn’t need to discuss much, I just dropped off the key Lee and set myself free. Ya gotta love Paul Simon at times like that. Couldn’t resist using that one.
Well put monk, bottom of the list of worst women is the Dutch, that be some good shit from what I've seen.
Great video 😊I agree with everything you said so articulated. I am blessed I married a traditional woman together 35 plus years here in America. I doubt I could ever meet another American women like her . God forbid she passes before me it would really change my life. Thanks for the video and congratulations on the birth of your child.
Congratulations on your happy marriage. 😊 Yed there are still wonderful women in America.
My mother and sister. They are just getting harder to find
Mark, wherever you are in the world it’s all about status money and Looks. The average guy has no status in the United States, but if he travels to Latin America parts of Europe and Southeast Asia, he walks off the plane with #Status!
Women (and the American culture) have changed more than men over the last couple decades. Men watching porn is more of a reaction/symptom than a cause. This is why lots of American men are are attracted to Filipino women with traditional values.
What tractional value? Filipinas are much more willing to sleep with a guy on the first date. The proof most single Filipinas have a child .
Why always but women down ? If man would treat their wife’s as the do there Filipinas Maybe there would be better longer lasting marriages .
I married for 56 years to the same man. Of course I never hounded my husband for things we could not afford. But I also know man that not put a lots of thought in to there marriages . The wanted a big truck ,a boat motor home ,big holidays while the wife’s could not buy cloth for themselves or the children
All these expats complain about there wife’s but there are man out there that are narcissist to.
@@EvelinHolmes Filipinas will step on the scale in front of a man (when asked). How much do you weigh is a question you would NEVER provide an HONEST answer for. That's 1 difference of many many many.
@@EvelinHolmes Of course, there are two sides to everything, but by and large Filipino women have more traditional values.
That's an important point. How modern culture has brainwashed people.
Yup, there is a reason vasectomies are on the rise in the west, and not just older men. Almost every guy I know who is over 50 has been snipped... and before I go overseas, I will be part of that group too. Don't need any more kids (aka dependants and 18 years min of child support).
I'm a 40-year old Canadian. I have no interest in western women generally. For me, it is more of the materialistic, entitled, attitude that many western women have. Of course, I have met some amazing, humble, SEA women in my travels, and that reinforces my feelings. I see so many married men in North America who are unhappy. Even just walking down the street here, listening to some conversations...I thank god that I am not attached to women like that.
Not to mention the fact that I have my free time to myself and I'm saving a LOT of money. I travel 2 or 3 times per year, mainly to Thailand for now, and that keeps me more than happy until such time as I can afford to move to SEA and find a woman who is genuinely loving, attractive, humble and family oriented.
Hello 👋👋
Wishing you all the best if you won't mind you can try Kenya Africa if that's well with you
All the best
I stopped dating 13-14 years ago before it was in vogue.
In the USA and west in general the juice ain't worth the squeeze. All the fruit is rotten.
Unfortunately, the upside of marrying or cohabitation with a woman as you get older has very little to no upside. When we are younger it may be slightly attractive if we want kids or a family, but even then, it is incredibly risky because of the court systems in the United States and that the statistics are very high you will divorce and that those divorces are initiated by women. No one wants to put in the time to make those relationships work and last. I read that many women initiate divorce because they are bored or think they can do better.
As we get older and have more assets to lose and quite honestly have less patience for the B.S., being alone with yourself and having a good dog and friends is all we really need. Some say they are scared to die alone, but we all die alone and no guarantee that she will stay with you and that you won't lose everything taking that chance. It's just not worth the risks vs. the slight chance of any possible gains.
Yes Mark, I was awarded the house in the divorce BUT the spousal support was so high, I could no longer afford the mortgage.
I was paying $7000 a month.
@@everymanhasastory I can only say,,, Holy shit!!!
@@solarguy1702no kidding in what world does a woman deserve $7,000 a month for doing nothing
Everything that you said was spot on. Appreciate your thoughts on the topic. Enjoy the variety of topics you have on your channel. All the best to you, Jen, and Rogan.
Thank you so much for your kind words of support
Mark, be happy you are not in the US anymore, it's a real political mess. Actually disgusting....
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔
@@everymanhasastory Oh Yes, me too, I live here. All we have is hope and that's not much to hang your hat on.

@@billwilliams9527Hopium a powerful drug till it wears off 😊
You made a lot of great points here, Mark. I would just like to add that many Filipinas by age 20 have a 10 year headstart in lifeskills on their western counterparts. This is not a knock on our women, but it strengthens the case for age gap relationships like yours.👍🏽🏝🇵🇭
That is a valid point. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts 😊
100% facts great analysis my dad and grandmother never understand it as they have always been in a couple
Pascal, the 17th century French philosopher wrote that " .. all of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone ..".
Married with kids is one thing but the idea of an older single man wanting female company 24/7 is sad. if you want someone to cook, clean, take care of you etc, and are willing to forfeit your privacy, space then fire away.
I guess if you have no hobbies, tend to be lonely, depressed, drink a lot etc, then maybe having a woman riding shotgun will be of use but I could never imagine compromising my hard fought for Independence, space to having Any woman in the house 24/7.
If i want a fling, it is easily found. Treasure your Independence. Other people are invariably Trouble in the long run
The "need" for marriage and relationships for that matter is continually eroding in our time. Here is the situation as it stands today: women will not settle even if it means remaining single in their 20s, 30s and beyond. And on the other side, more and more men have become reluctant to play the game due to the high divorce rate in addition to dealing with the "female relationship playbook" *all* women follow. In simple terms, many men have come to the consensus that it's easier to be single and I am one of them. 52 male, never married and no kids. What does it all mean? It means that their will be more and more single people!
Really good analysis and rendering. Your take paints a realistic picture of the situation today. Thanks for taking time to address this and shedding light on this situation.
I was just about to say a similar story.. Passport is the way to go.. I, too, got a fillipina best decision I've made..happy now.
Congratulations. Best decision I've ever made was moving to the Philippines
My wife died. I need to retire soon. No dating is going to get in the way of that. I can easily see myself single for the rest of my life. I don't let sex control my life and lead me around.
You can either love women or you can understand them. You can't do both.
Good old days is fiction. I remember in the early seventies I was a young man and all the married men I worked with all said do yourself a favor never get married. They were unhappy then also.
The problem is if men over 50 day women over 50 they match their feminine menopausal energy and their testosterone drops and it’s game over in the bedroom! Cheers from Medellin Colombia! 💃🏽💃🏽🕺🏽 🇨🇴
Interesting. Thanks for watching
In the u.s you are a wallet with legs.
Excellent points that you bring to the surface,I agree 100%. Would love to have a good woman in my life,it just isn’t in the cards for myself,to many gold diggers out there.
On 6 different dating sites, each one like having a singles bar in your pocket. My left-swipe wrist motion is getting one hell of a workout. Even when you DO find someone worth swiping right on, they either don't respond, or maybe they'll trickle out 2-3 word responses every 3 days, and god forbid anyone actually agree to MEET in person! Can't wait to get over there!
The risk vs reward ratio is no longer worth it.
Hi Mark. I like your shirt with the nice Lion in the background. The colours match and blend.
Your subject on older men and dating was interesting and relevant. Your audio and voice were clear and easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time to make a professional presentation.
The last girl I dated I had her over a couple times in the late morning and made her brunch, had her over for dinner twice, took her out to eat twice. I’m retired but work a couple days a week driving for a limo service, a few times I got stuck late at night at the airport waiting for a delayed flight, so I had no dinner. She knew this cuz she was up my ass texting me all day. ALL SHE HAD TO DO at a minimum was bring me over a WaWa hoagie or a ten dollar Chinese take out WHEN I GOT HOME from work. Like she couldn’t even think to hook me up! It was pathetic! She didn’t even have a real job so there was no excuse that she didn’t have time. She got dumped real quick!
This is a very reasonable and comprehensive view of today’s dating scene.
American women said they want bears let them have bears
Thank you for the video! I'll be 58 in a few months, relatively successful, very muscular and considered handsome by most. I can assure you PORN is not the problem, men have always wanted to have sex with women. Unfortunately the requirements to have sex with even a below average women is too high, not to mention the risk of getting accused of rape etc. I have no problem attracting women more than half my age in the USA but I prefer to travel outside the USA to date. I live in Florida and fly to Medellín Colombia 6 to 7 times a year to "date"😉 I don't date in the USA it's not worth it for too many reasons to list but thank you for covering most of them 😉🥰😍🥰✈️✈️
In the states now, in corporate culture, if you compliment that is harassment. I was in management, we were told by HR that the courts always support the woman, even if not true they are considered the passive party. The man is automatically the aggressor.
This is amazingly comprehensive. I think you must have hit every single impediment to getting a partner in life.
I am 70 and I think in the same way. I owe the contact to your channel from " Ask an older man " Always good contents in both channels.
Perfect summary!
Thank you for compiling all of the reasons for the dating demise.
I am one of them. Sadly I just don't make the time. Friends think I should get out more.
Me too
Would you buy a 93rd second hand car with high mileage and a faulty engine management system but sold at a high price and a huge deposit.
That's a firm HELL naw !!! Yes I had to go there !!!
And then there’s chronic emasculation… everywhere you go
Yes there is. And it gets worse every year
I have given up in UK as a female. So terrifying in many ways especially online fakes x
That's too bad. I hope you meet someone
Widower after 18.5 years with my wife, so not porn, but it took me 3 years to find her and just watched a lot of TH-cams and wanted a Filipina with traditional values. Economics was important. A western female would want too much stuff. My Filipina is a widow only 8 years younger than me, and so far so good. I am pretty darned happy.
I walk thru a grocery store and 80 percent of the women of all ages are at least 20-200 pounds overweight.Pass!
And they don’t know how to dress, most are not feminine looking. No dresses they walk around in those ugly yoga pants or sweats, no class…
I’m old and I look old, but I didn’t like women my age at all. Lucky for me I met and married a woman my age who is petite, feminine, and very personable. I found a new life!
For me, it's simple.
These women didn't want me in my youth. They didn't want to share the struggle to build a life together. They wanted the palace without the work.
I had to work alone.
Now that the work is done, they want to come in, and change everything I built to suit their taste. I like it the way it is!
Why give up my work, my happiness for someone who obviously doesn't appreciate my work, style, etc.???
No.
I wasn't good enough for them in my youth. I don't need them now. I don't need the drama, etc.
I'm pushing 60. It's too late to start a family now. I'm tired. ALL I want now is peace and quiet while I coast across the finish line.
As for a legacy, it's too late for that too! My estate goes to Charity. Not some golddigging schrew!
They chose the game.
I'm not playing anymore.
I'll live with my choice.
They can do the same.
all they want to do is clean your pockets. What's the point?
All correct. I live in Argentina where I am upper class on Social Security. The women are friendly. Lots of free cultural events Life is good for me.
When I moved from
The northeast to Florida in 2018 I thought all
The beaches like siesta key, lido beach, Venice beach etc would have hot girls in bikinis- wow I was disappointed. All fat people. Entire beach hundreds of people. Maybe 3 or 4 fit attractive girls
I've been living in Vietnam for the past 6 years. Prior to that, I was living in southwest Florida for almost 10 years. I was reminiscing tonight about all the nasty experiences I had when I was in the states. A majority of those bad experiences were with women. Some of them were people I worked for, some were clients for the companies I worked with and some were just people I met in the local area. These nasty, vicious and ill tempered women seemed to be triggered by the smallest irritation. Here in Vietnam, women always treat me with respect and I always return the favor. I hope things improve but until that day I will never return to America.
Interesting observation. I think this problem with women had an effect on the election
i'm single now, but can't complain because throughout my life i've had many girlfriends...so if i died tomorrow , i would die knowing i had my fair share.
It went from first date to first interview. Qualifications for support.
After 38 years of marriage, my wife died, good lady good marriage.
Remarried, again found a good lady, 13 months after our marriage she had a massive stroke, I’m her caregiver for the rest of my life, not her fault, she didn’t do anything wrong, but it’s the way things can play out sometimes. as a result of this, my retirement is over traveling is over. Everything I ever wanted to do in my retirement is over I don’t know that I would recommend marrying somebody late in life. It’s extremely risky, even when you have two good people with the best of intentions.
Women almost look dangerous. You are sooo right!
Some of the biggest lessons you dont learn the first time around. That goes for most of us. That positive attitude that generally helps you in life can hurt you in the family court. They all wanna wipe the smile off you face. They relish it. Most guys learn the second time. But many still show up for round 3. Good job now on damage control. Now you are wise and you earned it.
What I learned when I was young: "Never get your meat where you get your bread!"
There’s a problem finding good traditional feminine woman in the west. Why keep dating when you are constantly looked down upon?
I agree with you 💯
If you're not pulling women with your natural organic masculine presence, status and charm, the very best you can ever hope for is being a fcuked up schmuck beta-provider...
That appreciation of where you stand in the lobster pecking order of dominance should imbue some Humility. Go forth and be free...
Fourth wife gone, now - one death, two divorces, a third coming up.
I always felt bad after the departures, but not this time. I thought, sod it - I'm living for ME, now, and at the age of 76 I can't be bothered any more. It's like a relief to me, I can do as I like when I like, and where I like. I just do it on my own, now. I can cope, I cook, I'm clean, the house has never been tidier. I have a border collie for company. Don't need much more, really - certainly not the hassle from a disinterested wife.
Love your Leo tapestry! Great info.
In America, you lose have half your possessions and then there is the emotional side as well.
Is it not that risking that financial loss a big deterent to starting a new relationship?
Maybe the laws should be altered.
Men are waking up to the reality of the marriage institution. It's more of a business and the guys usually end up at getting screwed. There's no point and no benefit to men to get married. This is only in America 🇺🇸 but other countries are still traditional marriage and success rate higher due to culture.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts 😊
it's a govt. contract that rewards women who break it
Most men realize the effort is just not worth it. Its time to live for yourself.
Exactly on many points in this video. I’ve been the same lady for several years and the debt and financial concerns are a big thing. A lot has changed in the past 30 years and staying single is looking better all the time. Have experienced much the exact thing he talks about and it’s frustrating.
Been with the same lady, dating a few years.
Preach, brother.
Me too… I refuse to be called creepy or icky.
Mark,
I was a rough on you in my last comment on this video but I love your videos and cannot wait until the next one you make.
Its simply too much work. Always needing to keep her entertained. God forbid she get bored.
I'll go back to getting married again when family court law is removed from marriage.
Yeah marital laws are just stacked in the woman's favor for nothing is equal or fair at all about that !!!
Who cares what women think , be yourself and live your life.
I agree for that is when men are truly at their happiest in their lives 100 % and a woman 10 times out of 10 will surely screw that up if you let her !!
sign of the times, we are living in prophetic times
Porn has taken away the one reason a man will put up with a woman's bullshit. I'm 65 and blissfully single.
