      I agree that older women who have jobs and children are less problematic. However, they often cannot stay on the beach with you because their job requires their attention.

      I'm 31 and am engaged to a Filipina that is 41! She is a much higher quality woman than I would've gotten dating women younger than me. We want the same things out of life. Plus she has already raised her sons, they are out of the house, and is still young and healthy wanting to have a child with me.

    There is nothing wrong with wanting a younger woman. Everyone can decide for themselves. Sure.. having a 22 yr old filipina can be great fun, but I thought about it and decided I didn't want to teach a girl how to become a woman. I didn't want to deal with that immaturity (regardless of nationality), I wanted a "seasoned" and mature woman that just wanted to settle down and relax. I got what I was looking for. She knows what role she is expected (and she wants to be a homemaker) and I know my roles and responsibilities and we are both completely happy, joyful and relaxed. Her oldest 2 are out of school and youngest is in 11th grade. The kids are easy to be around and deal with. The maturity of the Filipina is what is most important. I am 46 and she is 36. Perfect age for me because she is plenty mature and had plenty of harsh lessons from life and appreciates my attention and gives me back double.

    • @BillyTimes-dw7vs
      @BillyTimes-dw7vs 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      Thats a perfect age. But 22 is way to young if your over 4O that just my personal opinion but 36 and your 46 is perfect

    • @brazillionnaire
      @brazillionnaire 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      Key points:
      1. Never teach a girl how to be a woman. Physical is nice at 22 but the novelty wears off quickly and without maturity, it has a short shelf life.
      2. Hard to find a woman over 30 without kids, and living in the PH with a woman who has kids could spell disaster if the husband or relatives want to exploit your relationship with the woman. Tricky situation. Just do all the necessary background checks and seek legal advice locally. I’ve watched 3 of my longtime buddies get wrecked physically and financially in this same predicament. One of my buddies found the husband came after him after being with the filipina girl for over 8 years.
      3. Relationships have a currency and that currency is “ATTENTION”. Social media is the destroyer of modern women because attention is available 24/7/365 GLOBALLY. Mature women know their place in a relationship and so it’s much easier for her to just follow your lead. Appreciation of your companionship means she is going to spend her currency all on you instead of the younger girls who need constant validation from other men.
      3.

    • @mikelund327
      @mikelund327 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +24

      I agree. Im 46 and my filipina is 41. She’s really active and fit, but can hold a knowledgeable conversation unlike a 20 year old.
      Also, I can bring a 41 year old Filipina back to the USA and not worry. A 20 year old is a gamble. If she gets westernized and starts getting all the attention because shes an 8 here where she used to be a 4, you might be getting into a bad situation. Anyway, Im generalizing a bit, everyone is different. Im just saying, be careful.

    My first long-term Filipina GF was in her early 20's. We were fine but she wanted kids, I didn't. We parted ways as friends. My wife now is only 13 years younger than me, we met 10 years ago and her daughter was 13 at that point. My wife is mostly financially independent, she owned her own home before we met and paid for her daughter to go through university since we've been together. We're a partnership in all things, financially as well. Her first husband was killed in a motor cycle accident when he was 24. I'm now 54 and she's 41 and loving life. My step-daughter has a great job and earns good money by Philippine standards and has since left the nest. We make all major decisions together and yes, like everyone we sometimes disagree but we work it out; I can't remember one instance of "tampo" with her, and I put it down to her maturity.

    There is nothing more beautiful than a Filipina that is a little more mature. She is beautiful physically and has a beautiful heart and soul. She is someone you can share your life with. This allows you to develop a very deep love for one another.

    I was 65 when I met my filippino , I thought she was like maybe 25 , she was 33 that changed everything . She was headed for big trouble where we were . I had what she badly needed . She had to leave the filippines to feed for her kids . She had been in Kuwait for 7 years with no hops of ever seeing her family again , I changed all that for her and even sent her back home with gifts and money a dream come true for her . We been together from that time on .

    An older Filipina has a real big advantage that I learned early on in the Philippines. They have connections and many of them come through friendships, relatives, and batchmates.

    I'm 53, my wife is 39. I would warn any man coming to the Philippines to be careful when you date a girl 20-30 years younger than you. If you just want to exist here, do your own thing, and have a young wife to take care of you, but that's about it, great, she might stick with you until you get too old, maybe she wont. More than likely she will leave you. My advice would be date around 15 years younger. She will be older, more mature, know the value of a good man, versus some child that is going to clown you when you get older. Also my wife and I travel everywhere, she is hotter than 90% of American women, fun, loves me and would kill a girl for me.
    You just are not going to get that relationship with a 20 something that has no life experience. My wife will never leave me, and she is the best wife a man could ask for. Don't get fixated on dating a 20 something, those girls come with a basket of issues and problems when a 20 something gets money for the first time, they all go a little crazy.

    I'm moving next week to the Philippines and will live with a woman who is 49. I myself am 67 so there is a gap of 18 years between us.
    I find it easier to talk to a modern woman who has knowledge than an 18-25 year old who has no life experience.
    So that's something I'm looking forward to. It could well have been an even younger one. For me, it's not age but personality that I'm looking for.

    I only dated one Filipina woman and I married her almost 14 years ago. She was 43 when I met her and 45 when we married. I was 56 at the time of our marriage. She was a widow with two great sons. She had three years of university. Ten years in a computer component factory and 15 years as a police woman in a big city. She grew up in the province but lived in the city after her marriage. She helped manage her deceased husband's business and they had 42 employees. She was/is a beautiful woman. Now both of her sons have been to college and have nice jobs and nice wives and families now. We have a nice vacation home in the Philippines and live mostly in the USA. I am retired and she works at a good job in the USA. We are compatible and happy at this stage of life. I am thankful I did not marry a twenty-something. My needs were for a woman and not for girl.

  • @BrotherRoy
    @BrotherRoy 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

    You make a good point and I hadn't thought about the middle-aged Filipina who could be widowed and accustomed with Western men and would fare better than someone younger. I'm 66 and my wife will be 45 next week. We've been married for 10 years this coming December. She's established, heading toward 25 years with one company, upper level manager with an International company and educated. I've known her since 2007 until I made the decision to actually visit in 2013 and haven't been back to the US since. She didn't have kids, nor I, never wanted any, but her siblings have children and whatever feelings we might need to scratch the urge, we spend time with them and that settles the itch as we come back to the nice, peaceful quiet of our home. Or, the come to visit and then leave, taking the chaos with them. Should she pass, I doubt I would pursue another relationship, she, being my 5th wife. I've had enough, but if I did have a need to get involved again, it definitely would be someone who is my near contemporary and not someone who could pass as my daughter or granddaughter!

    I came to the Philippines when I was 65. I had been talking with several girls on Filipino heart. Eventually the list went down to about two or three. I came to visit in 2006. I met a girl she was 31 years old very nice looking and she had two sons 9 and 11, in 2007 I moved here We got married about 6 months later. So we're going on 17 years. Just like this video says she was mature We had our differences most of them culture differences. She was a widow and mature had been on her own had been overseas working. Very independent didn't really need my money. Never ask for money while we were talking on the net. So yes I don't want it really want a teenage wife. We have a Very happy family life.

      I have that possibility in an LDR. Only thing, I don't want to settle in the Pinas. Bringing a wife and two kids to the US and supporting them is not in my retired budget. She only has a HS education, so I doubt she could get a job that supports the kids and a second car, or even a 4-person car we'd need. So... I'll have to wait 'til I can go to the Phils and meet someone I can support or who's employable over here.

    I'm 54 in October. My gf is 33. It's working out fine! I gather there's a large number of men in their 50s dating women in their 30s. The vast majority would be men in their 50s and 60s dating women in their 20s. Dating women with a 30 to 40 year age gap will sometimes have its challenges. Many men are seeing the advantages of dating Philippine women in their 30s and 40s.

    I am completely agree with the topic of the video. I'm 40 in a couple of days, she is 32. I am happy that I decided to move to the Philippines and I realized I made a good decision to not looking for a 20 years old woman here. As a result of looking for a more mature woman I got all the love and care plus she appreciates me and not taking anything for granted. She is always trying to participate money wise, always manages our budget and finding best products for lowest prices etc. It's a good change compared to what I had before in my life. We have plenty to talk about, we share same interests and hobbies, she is always supportive of me and accommodates all my needs. Neither of us are perfect but we click very well together. This is the best relationship experience I had in my life so far. Finally in a long time now I am not feeling like a walking ATM machine and instead I feel like I am in a healthy and happy relationship.

    My Thai Fiance has a career, works full time, has 3 ptoperties, has 2 middle school age kids, and has enough money saved. Never has asked me for a penny online nor in person. All she wants is my love, time when we are together, and a faithful relationship when we get married. She is a very lovely 39 while I am 61 (plus the fact that I look no older than 45!).

    Great advice. I’m 69 and my wife is 48. We met 7 years ago. My friend here is 71 and has a thing for the young ones. After 4 or 5 failed relationships he gave up finding a mate and now just rents a girl when he wants. My question was always the same, what do you talk about. We have a wealth of knowledge and life experiences. A 20 year old knows very little about life. I can’t imagine what kind of conversations you could have. And as I grow old and feeble, I prefer to have a mature woman with experience to take care of me, not a 20 year old that only knows how to change a diaper.

    Love this. I am planning on moving to the Philippines and this is EXACTLY the type of woman I am looking for. In fact I would add 10 years to your maximum. I do not deal with 20 year old here in the states unless I have to at work. Why in the HELL would I move 7000 miles to deal with one????
    But there are two distinct differences in my case.
    #1 I have ALWAYS perfered women older than me. The problem now for me , here in the U.S., is that they ones that are older than me are either: Married. Have not taken care of themselves physically or Dead.
    # 2 I was in the Philippines when I was in my 20s for two years when I was stationed in Okinawa. I still speak passable Tagalog. I got all my wild oat out when I was there dealing with 20 something year olds. And even back then I thought they were frivolous. But hey I was in my 20s so I could tolerated that for a good long while back then. Now I just do not have the patience.

    I am a 54 yr old divorced man who is communicating with a widowed 48 yr old filipina who has 1 daughter. Honestly I prefer the 35 to 45 range because they are more matured and know what they want. I plan on meeting her in January next year in Davao City where she resides. We are both business minded and want to build a future together.

    Personally, l could never seriously date a young Philippine woman. I would feel l’de be dating my own daughter. I just could not do that. I’m not saying it wouldn’t work but more often, there are far to many obstacles. Not for me!

She’s been single for nine years and she’s always happy speaks great English and so far we are inseparable. I live in Seattle and can’t seem to find a decent female here that even compares to my girlfriend in the Philippines . I plan on moving to the Philippines when I retire however in the meantime we will be traveling back and forth and all she asks me for is to love her! It’s so easy to do because of her good and loving heart. FYI there are so many good people in the Philippines you just have to find them and surround yourself with them. I wish you and your readers the best of luck in their search. As for me I have found the love of my life.

    Good vlog !
    When I was looking on websites for my future gf/wife . At 57 . I was looking for a lady between 25 and 55 .
    The hardest part of the older ladies that I'd seen , was going to be the language barrier .
    In 3 months , I had read over 15,000 (yes 15,000) bio's .
    And not just the Philippines .
    Thailand, China, Korea .
    But my heart found who I was looking for in the Philippines .
    My biggest suggestion is to look for that person that wants to , or is living your kind of lifestyle .
    If you are a "City boy" , and that's where you want to live then look for a city girl that can deal with city life . A province girl might not be able to deal with the adjustment .
    If you are looking for a quieter life ? Then I would look in the province .
    Decide weather you can handle someone else's kids ?
    What kind of a woman you are looking for ?
    Younger might be more willing to spend your money easier.
    A mature woman will probably have her own income . Not need you financial support . But anything you give her will be greatly appreciated .

    Reekay, you make so much sense on this topic. As it so happens the first woman I met on a Filipina dating site was 39 years old without children and does not want children. That suited me fine. To begin with I was never attracted to any of the women under 34. My instinct and common sense told me I could never fall in love with a 20 something. Don't get me wrong, when I first joined there were well over 100 women who liked my profile. I hope more ex pats take your advice.
    I will be visiting my new girlfriend in January, 2024, so I will see first hand and up close how sincere she really is about me. she has already determined that I am the one for her. I told her we needed to take our time and get to know each other better before any major decisions are to be made. She agreed. Between you and me though, I have never met a sweeter woman willing to do basically everything for me. And I am totally attracted to her. I am 73, but look and act a lot younger. It's totally intoxicating, but I am determined to keep my wits about me when we meet.

    Excellent topic, several years ago I listened to a few expats that stated it was hard to find an older Filipina or older women aren’t available. I assured them there’s plenty of older women available, but you have to seek them. You probably won’t find them on dating sites, because most older women have focused by now on a career or family instead of looking for a partner. Oh they’re still interested but just not out seeking like the younger women.
    When I met my girlfriend 4yrs ago, she was 47 and I was 59. She had never dated or been in a relationship, just focused on her career and family. She too has many of older single friends and cousins that have never married, but would be interested in a relationship if the right man came along. So older single women are available you just have to get out and find them.

    My partner, is a 46 year old Filipina RN, and I'm 12 years older. We were both widowed by cancer, and we met on a worldwide widow/widower support group (not a dating site). A simple chat led to a long distance relationship, and now we live under one roof for most of the year. We absolutely love each other. And although she grew up a world away from me, our backgrounds are very similar, thus, despite the cultural differences, we have so much to talk about. At first some people in my life thought she must need me for my money, but in reality, as a nurse, that is far from reality. Financially we could both walk away from our relationship without thinking twice about it. I hit gold when I met my late wife - a European American, and I struck gold again when my met my Filipina partner (and future wife).

  • @christopherv3048
    @christopherv3048 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Young and aged women have their advantages/disadvantages that are more/less relevant depending on your phase in life:
    - 30-40 year old man dating a 20 year old Filipina makes sense; more so than a 65+ year old man who might be widowed, divorced thrice, or penny pinching their pension
    - 25-35+ year old woman makes little sense to a young man, who wouldn't want to child raise or care an iota about her level of worldly independence/lived experiences
    - Most men looking for a woman overseas, typically don't need the woman to be financially solvent either - while a valid point made in the video, it's a weak one
    - Everybody can benefit from social networking: I concede from the video that an older woman will have established, vetted relationships that you can leverage
    Reference: Am a 39 Thai/Viet American with a 21 year old Filipina.
    My perspective is of a more active, younger point in life.
    I picked a fantastic partner, because she is as mature as most women I have dated in my age bracket in the states - minus the life experiences, previous body counts, kid(s), previous marriage(s). She performs her "gender normative" duties proudly, with none of the Gen-Z hang ups of social media, partying, etc. She is from the Providence (Bais) and is an only child (somewhat rare). She is estranged from her parents and is a recent college graduate.
    What fulfillment do I get from someone as young as her? Other than physicality... spiritually, I get to be the one that shows her the wonders of the world - she gets to see/experience it for the first time. This is a powerful bonding exercise that, over the course of the relationship, cements pairing to each other. Innately, there is something special about bonding over the innocence of these life events.
    She gets to learn about time horizon, compound interest, property divestitures, etc. from ME.
    I am a provider for her first time on a plane, the first time she's tasted ice cream, felt hot water in a shower, used a fridge, etc.
    It solidifies my function as a provider.
    It's literal chicken soup for my soul.
    I believe my Filipina is an exception of an extreme outlier:
    - Femininity, youth, virility, intelligence, and maturity with none of the societal norms of overbearing PH parents
    - Avoided the behavioral, cultural toxicity that plagues young women of the West
    For the vast majority of population averages, this video speaks truth.
    However, you DO NOT have to be one of the averages.
    I want to present a point that this video did not:
    Being hyper selective so that you can have your cake and eat it too.
    It's about finding and choosing the outliers (like I did), which - being an expat/foreigner - allows you to easily play the odds much more favorably.
    Use your leverage morally, find the happy medium, and be absolutely cutthroat ruthless in your mate selection. Cutthroat. Ruthless.
    Play the numbers, work the math, and beat the averages. If done correctly, most competent men will do fine.
    Good points in the video - godspeed.

    I think you’re correct. I’ll be 65 when I retire in the PI in late 2024. As much as I am attracted to much younger women, it makes much more sense to date and try and have a relationship with someone closer to my age. I think 35-40 would be about right; not too much of an an age difference, and many of them are still quite attractive at that age.

      I'm 31 and am engaged to a Filipina that is 41! She is a much higher quality woman than I would've gotten dating women younger than me. We want the same things out of life. Plus she has already raised her sons, they are out of the house, and is still young and healthy wanting to have a child with me.

      35-40? That is 25-30 years younger, that is too much try 10-20 years younger.
