How ignorant men are nowadays when the questions are like that. Better to stay where they are. Must be a joke…
He has never been to the Philippines. This is all new to him
@@mikesphilippineretirement Yup, the next question is probably how children are born. Scary when these men are released and go out into the world under the guidance of their mothers.
wow Jack you put the hammer down on that one. hahaha
@@mikesphilippineretirement 😂😂I like your content, keep up the good work. We met once quickly in T&T last February… back to the phils on September😊
See you in Sept Jack
My advice to him is go visit her first before anything else. See how her and family treat you. He’s thinking way ahead and while that’s good in a way be careful not to get into something so quickly!
he has put the cart before the horse
He should be thinking ahead all the way up to your last day at home or hospital or hospice. The last years go by really fast so he is correct to plan exactly right now what u want with this person and imagine the entire timeline all rolled out, if u see a breakup then plan for it, a divorce the plan for it, plan and expect, play the devils advocate with the what ifs, Dont get blindsided, Be Vigilant.
@@mikesphilippineretirement Putting the cart before the horse can end up costing him some money and heartache. Better to take it SLOW as a friendship. At this point he has no idea if she has another suiter or suiter's, especially if she's working the on-line dating site or sites. Hopefully he doesn't end up in one of your video's as the guy that got fleeced. Hopefully he's watched some of your LDR warning video's and he knows the RED flags before he spends to much of his hard earned cash.
Agree must visit her meet her family dont let her know how much money you have or income. Be careful what you say around her you may say i like to buy a lot build a house some day in philippines she may see that as a promise to her when it was only a possibility no promise If she think you made a promise they are not very forgiving my opinion i said im sorry many times i only recall she said she sorry once 😂 in near 8 yrs of knowing her. They dont like to admit when their wrong😂
@@garrylafferty100 They don't like to admit when she is wrong to safe face.
Good advice Mike, take Chocolate. Harold listen to Mike's advice, remember slow and steady makes a strong relationship. Don't rush anything.
take it slow and give it time
I took $100 of chocolate for my luggage weight limit. Also brought my old iPhone 10 SX Max, I bought an old iPhone 10XR for her sister as a gift. And a nice IPad for her son’s 4th birthday which was a complete hit for all the kids! Under $600 total of gifts..so she had some incentive to meet me at the airport and take me to the hotel for my performance in the art of passion. And getting to know each other…
The relationship DOES NOT START UNTIL YOU MEET IN PERSON! Online is fantasy! It’s just a pen pal albeit you develop some emotion.
Biggest thing Harold could do is SLOW DOWN and keep things low key to see how things truly are. Mike makes a ton of great suggestions here for everyone.
yes please slow down
Harold, 2 weeks DOES NOT make a relationship.
As for pasalubong (gifts) you simply cannot go wrong with cologne for the father and perfume for the mother.
They are farmers means they live a simple life. They really appreciate simple things.
Especially things that cannot be got there.
Do not support the parents.
It's never your responsibility..
Listen to everything Mike is saying here and follow it to the letter.
Yes, they cook with wood here.
We renovated our house to a modern standard and my wife insisted on a "dirty kitchen" out the back (the area they cook on the fire)
Part of my weekly chore is to fill my multicab with firewood with her father for that purpose. Yes we have a gas stove but it's what they are used to.
Keep your house in your country. Rent it out if you want but always make sure you have something to come back to.
My wife comes in and out of Ireland with me at will.
We have just a 12 year age gap and even at that the women in ireland are jealous of her and men are drawn to her.
No difference to having a beautiful wife from any other country.
thanks for sharing. happy everything is working out for you
Harold, take Mike’s advice. If she loves you, she will want to bond with you and give all of herself to you. This is her greatest gift she can give. You need accept it and show her that you love and desire her too. You will only confuse her by not making love. She will want to put her mark on you. Bonding is very important in their culture.
bonding yes we enjoy that here in the Philippines.
At least twice a day to let her know you are not old! And still have it in you! I tapped her 6-7 times the 2nd day! Bring lube that was the best thing I packed she was asking for it! Astroglide is amazing! Then back to at least twice a day except the night her sister stayed in the room. She was not comfortable. So I had to wait. I was okay resting a bit…
Personally, I think that internet dating is a very bad idea. Go visit your destination, hang around, and observe. Meet in person - not online. 👌
this day and age even if your in the Philippines you will meet ladies on line. It is just the way it is. Boots on the Ground is the best way to go.
Great advice. Anyone who is not boots on the ground is likely just fooling themselves. Especially those simps who send money without ever seeing the woman. Exceptions apply but this applies to everyone else.
Online Dating is OK as long as you use it for just an tool too meet or interact with people.Dont make any major Commitment on the first visit.After the first visit goes good then maybe on 2nd or 3rd visit then start thinking about Serious Commitment..
As for Harold’s flight. If at all possible try to fly into Singapore and then the next day fly direct to Davao via Singapore airlines. Manilla can be quite daunting for a newbie. In his case he can avoid Manilla!
thanks for sharing that
Why are some of these guys so desperate to get married? WTF! 😠🥴
😏 i dont get it either, your retiring, u have a pension and a passport, and intead of doing some world traveling and being free you instead opt to use the last few years of ur life to be a slave to someone. Make it make sense? 😅
a slave in the Philippines. hahaha don't think so.
Because it shows you are serious. Actually in the Phils you are king when you are married! As long as you have a rock solid pre nuptial agreement! Maybe they want to take care of this person over time? Maybe a green card back to the USA?
Show me another country outside of the Middle East where you can have your wife arrested for adultery? Just saying!
I'm sure he's a divorce guy 😂😂😂😂they never learn
@@addictcar69 🙂 Probably, Rinse and Repeat
Harold, just come over, have fun, and stop worrying about what the family thinks about you, if she likes you, she will be with you, no good deed goes unpunished, remember that, and remember that she just hit the jackpot, most guys online never actually show up to Phils, so remember you are the prize and you need to evaluate if you even like her or not.
it is only money. You don't want to waste it but you still want to have a great time
My wife and I love your videos. If I was to retire to another country. I'd go to Baja. My brother bought a 3-2 near the beach. I like Loreto. Growing up in San José, I had quite a few Filipino friends. Japanese too. Plenty of American Asian girlfriends too!!! Thanks for the videos. ❤❤❤
That is awesome!
Very wise advise Mike. Be very patient. Take things very, very slow.
slow down your going to fast
Could not explain better. Thanks Mike!
thank you
Good advice, Mike. I enjoy watching the handful of you with common sense and that have a good heart.
I have been in Dumagutue since June 5 been going nonstop around the province wasn't looking for women had a tour guide met a.nice lady widower like me older going to see her tomorrow my tour guide introduced me i don't like dating sites in person only
Thanks for sharing
As always, EXCELLENT advice.
Thank you
Great advice. This video will help a lot of newbies
I hope so!
Hi Mike.
Great 👍 video with great advice.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thank you
Great advice Mike, as you know Vicky and I have been in an LDR going on 5yrs now. We met during Covid and I visit there twice a year, still waiting on the K-1 visa. I’ve followed much of you and Paul’s advice and things work great to this point. Thanks for sharing, I should be a great help to many, who will listen. Blessings to you, Janet and PJ.
Thanks for sharing! Troy and Vicky
Been talking to this amazing guy online for a month now. Im 41.He is charming with sense of humor. And he booked his flight in May. Nope, we are not in a relationship. I will make sure he will meet my immediate family.and my son. Im preparing for his arrival. Making sure i have enough money to buy food and cook for him. Im helping him find a place to stay also. If he ask me to stay with him during his stay, i would. 😊
I wish you well and hope you like each other!!
How does Harold know she doesn't have a dozen other foreign men on the go? All supporting her. Perhaps that's how she funds her studies ... IT Engineering tuition fees aren't within the grasp of most province families - where the dad's a farmer, and the mom's a maid. If she insists upon no time together under the sheets, when he travels to meet her ... that's a big red flag
Agreed, if he tells her he wants to wait until marriage before having sex and she agrees, big red flag.
Yes if she really likes him and wants him as a partner she will show it in many different ways
Why are you judging a person without knowing him, horrible western mentality, what if the parents are working hard for their daughter's schooling, and if he wants to help her then what...thats bunos to her
@@sarahhonorio9419 Are you the Davao lady hustler ... good luck to you, if you can add Harold to your list of benefactors. You don't like the Western men who apply scrutiny learned from real-world experience ... but you're happy to take the suckers for a ride
She may be already prepping him for the string along by claimng she is met him on a Christian dating site and wants to wait until they are married.
Good solid, advice as always we can all learn a lot from your experience👍
Glad to hear it
It's strange that I didn't really own anything because someone was harassing me I never spent anything.. the thing about buying real estate is that you are tied to a particular area, I was probably better off walking away when they tried to upsell me to more expensive real estate away from family and all of that
When i finally met my fiance over here years back before covid she was doing laundry on a rock in the backyard! Of course she's in the province.
Janet just did Laundry in a bucket in the back yard. As things change many things stay the same
Take it easy Harold, think so many times before you get in too attached to the girl, you can come to visit her if you want to but observed, you must know what you really into sometimes it get too overwhelm in Philippines culture and get tired. Goodluck and take care.
good advice
Sound advice on "Giving the family money" I always say,"You can't un-ring a bell"
So true!
Mike gives great advice like that older brother big uncle or that dad thats been around the block. Thanks Mike for working hard everyday to keep it real and give some great advice to some of us knuckleheads that arent seasoned like you. Appreciated my brother. Thanks Harold for opening all of us up to your relationship so Mike can help us all. I have some questions coming your way Mike, very interesting questions about the 38yr old mother of one Filipina I just started a relationship with. Its somewhat juice😁🙏🏾
bring it on would enjoy reading about it
LDR = sending money without actually meeting or having a binding commitment to ever meet. I was on an app recently and most of the Pinays were interested in LDRs. One Pinay that I turned down admitted she had a few benefactors supporting her which she had never met. Luckily, I assumed right away that she would ghost me once I touched down in Philippines.
It would be safer just to go there with a Wingman, and don't have any body waiting for you or looking for you, that way your free to flirt with anyone
John good thing she was honest and told you about the others
Sounds like a wonderful start for a lasting relationship. Send it all brother, even though you haven’t meet in person. Go ahead and burn through your life savings. I’m sure that her and her family would appreciate being supported with a weekly allowance.🙈
Seriously, you should be building a strong relationship and learning everything about each other. DO NOT talk about money. Just be careful if she starts talking about her financial problems or any situation that could be fixed with just a few dollars from you. RED FLAG
@@michaelmiller5957he’s taking the p1ss you fool 😂
as of this time he is asking for advice if you listen to the video he said,,, she has not asked for any money ,,
I lived over in your area Valencia for over a year I got there at the same time you did February 2022 I'm bringing my fiance over her interview is on the 7th of May already did medical and everything but you were correct it was a pain in the ass coming back and buying everything again but we ended up with a nice three bedroom house on a half acre in Florida excited for her to come over with her two children all at the same time
glad it all worked out
I took my gf’s family to a local seafood restaurant (side note warning don’t order any seafood priced by the kilo) and they loved it. Also brought chocolate and perfume.
was the food any good
@@mikesphilippineretirement excellent
I love your channel I will be visiting the Philippines in October I listen to all your advice to navigate this solo travel.
You'll love Philippines
I like your practical approach.
I appreciate that!
hello mike dont forget if they live in the province near davao is the food we can only eat so many bananaa lof bread and skippy peanut butter and chicken plus scramble eggs the food is very different in the province
so true about that living deep in the province is tough
Awesome advice Mike
Thanks Charles
financial literacy is what a lot of people here need.
hey mike love your videos. great information. im yet to go to the philipines. may be i will may be i wont. dont know. yet. very interesting all the info on here. see ya mate.
I had a 2.5 year LDR. We knew each other very well before we met. But we were both very honest. We've been together for over 2 years now and still very in love. Good luck.
happy to hear that
I always say the only way LDR’s work if honesty is 100% on both sides…then it has a chance. I would never wait long. Give her a date and plane tickets show you are serious.
I tried visiting in March 2020 but COVID-19 hit. We had plenty of time to get to know each other. Believe it or not the 2.5 years went quickly and were well spent.@@etfremd
I Think 24-36 is the Perfect time frame to Date Internationally someone Internationally.With SURPRISED Visits before committing to a marriage..
@@Kory8611 I agree with you, but don't expect it to be the same landscape as the West. An older girlfriend will likely have a child or two and maybe an absent husband. Most Western guyz don't realize that Good Filipina's will "date" to form a long term relationship. You're likely in for a whole lot of baggage and problems here. Maybe go to Thailand or Angeles and sow your oats.
Some good advise Mike, I met a very pretty 28 yr old filipina in person on a boat ride, but we couldnt get together in person b4 I left the Philippines. I noticed that at first she was slow to respond to my texts. but after 4 or 5 days of texting, now she is texting back much faster and more often, so she seems to have really become more comfortable and secure talking to me than when we first met.
Great advice!!!!
Enjoy simple life in our country
Great video. How long have you been dealing with the Philippines? You are a wealth of knowledge
My Dad's 2nd wife was Filipina but living in the US. In Las Vegas I did meet a large number of Filipinos and enjoyed the lifestyle. So I would say 20 years or more
@@mikesphilippineretirement thanks did you date any of them in US and if so were they different from Philippines native girls? Great content
yes very different I married one
Great advice Mike 👍
thank you
With all the videos I have seen concerning LDR disasters, I think that it would be wise to budget for a private investigator. Way, way too many lonely men send money thinking that their LDR is working and staying at home alone (as the man is), only to land and discover that there are five other guys doing the same thing or that the lady is already married.
how do you trust a PI if your 8,000 miles away
you are right about all mike i might spend maybe 5 months a year there
enjoy your time in the Philippines
Cool video-Big Mike, I believe you had an ex Flipina in the 🇺🇸-maybe you can give us first hand knowledge?
I did! she was in the states over 20 years when I met her
Did you see the recent video by the Pea, the lawyer says the parents can demand support for necessary things and the siblings can too. The income of the foreigner will be involved in determining how much the the person can be responsible for.
Show me someone who by law and is in jail for not giving money to someone.
I do believe bc there is no social services that a Filipina must help the helpless in the family but that does not fall 100% on a expat
@@mikesphilippineretirement I don't believe it was a criminal law but a civil law, that the children could be made to help support their parents, if they had the means to do so. So basically the parent would have to sue them in court, if they thought they weren't doing their part to help them according to the law. Even Pea seemed surprised at that bit of info.
Oh Harold I know it all sounds so nice and better than what's available in your country, but to really know someone you need time and to be together, once in person over six months then you can really see the person as it really is, but time and being there really will help take a great decision, I wish you well but please listen to advice from me and Mike and others that know asia be prepared to be delighted and let down too, make a decision over along time , doing it after 2 weeks is a disaster, keep safe also don't give any.money without meeting her first
you and Janet agree don't give money if you have not met in person yet
Is this guy in a big rush or something? Dude unless you're dying in a couple of months you know..
just slow your roll my friend
As always great advice!
Glad you think so!
That's one thing i first bought when i got here was one of those portable washing machines
funny Janet was talking about getting one.
@@mikesphilippineretirement yeah i went to Imperial appliance store that's all was less than 200 bucks or something washer dryer. She said to me it was too expensive. I figure i was here for a couple months at the times and i wasn't paying any kind of rent or nothing she wants me to stay in a family's home for now it's been fine. I'll try to grab the email again for you somehow Janet does have me on Messenger
Harold reality never lives up to fantasy. Mike is giving you great advice Harold it seems you do not have much dating experence .
could be fantasy or a nightmare waiting to happen
It's hard to not put it so succinctly or be so blunt but Harold sounds very religious and those types tend to not be big on critical or nuanced thinking, otherwise they wouldn't believe the things they do. Just saying....
Mike great advice
thank you
Great advice. What is he overlooking to be with her? What are they not talking about? Two weeks is too fast to be committed to. If she asks for money, run after two weeks. Careful making permanent decisions for a temporary feeling? Do not send money! That will cripple the relationship. He’s going way too fast. Knowing her two weeks is not enough to know her. Great solid advice Mike. You’re a caring seasoned expat.
thank you Koufax
One more thing just to let you know going through it and following it if you were doing a K1 Visa wait times are down to about 8 months now I'm in the process
wow great to hear that
Great advice Mike , can’t disagree with anything.. be patient, make her laugh, .. I wouldn’t give money at all
If your LDR communication is 2 weeks or 2 years, you do not have a relationship, you have a video pen-pal. Nothing more and nothing less. We all understand that emotions can esclate quickly in these kind of things. Plan a trip and enjoy yourself, making plans beyond your first trip is not realistic. Best Wishes.
@flyingmulerider7166 thanks for sharing
I brought dinner for the family. First meeting with the parents was catered (16 people total it was around $250)... Second dinner was Shakey's Pizza's 11 people ($100). Be respectful. I brought some gifts I made and gave the brothers a few items I had from the states.
My thoughts on financial support is avoid settings expectations. Leave her with a small amount of emergency money when you leave but don't tell the family. 200-500 dollars. This is a lot of money to a Filipina.
😃 they have Shakey's Pizza and Buffet out there? wow there was one here in Chicago many years ago, good times
@@MrSamadolfo Very common p
in the Philippines…tons of locations
@@aboveitall9600 🙂 Sweet! I will have to check that out 🍕🍕🍕
Shakey’s for my ex’s large family in Cebu in 2006 was about US $20
@@BarnabyBarry I don’t doubt it…everything has gone up in the Philippines even in the last year. The 100 dollars included a small thank you to get it which I gave her brother, coke / Pepsi, paper plates and enough to cover bananas for desert. I didn’t ask to see a receipt but it was plenty of pizza and fried chicken….Another example: Papa John’s is about 700 pesos a pizza these days…
I urge people to go and see it before committing. The costs these days verse issues and what you are getting…it’s not going to fit every guy’s situation or idea of retirement.
You look comfortable…do you have your air on most of the time? I’ve gotten too used to it over here in the US wouldn’t want to be without it….
🙂 you have to get usta using Fans, take light clothing with u, light polyesters, some tanktops, some tshirts, lose weight, drink lots of water, it takes several months for ur body to adjust to a tropical climate, it will become more tolerable the heat and humidity, dont forget pants and long shirts if the mosquitos like you too much
@darter216 I do have the a/c on. It is summer. I cool down the room then use fans to keep it cool.
Vegas Mike you are correct about 1 thing where else in the world can you live for $2 k a month stress free, why buy when rent is so cheap,
we agree on that
Harold listen to Mike best advice on TH-cam. Do as he says trust me . Slow and easy brother. Best advice he has and others on here watch all his videos
Thanks Gio
MIKE FYI! You can get social security at 50 years old i don't believe any younger but i did get it at 50! Special conditions and things you can do to get it earlier. Have a wonderful day
would love to know the special conditions Charles
@@mikesphilippineretirement i was unable to get my gmail to locate your address but i'm going to screw with that some more. I will do that here. First off i use the social security attorney for my options. That works fine what does social security attorney is limited by the government to 25% of your first check back pay and whatever they all you. Just so you know that i don't know any these been changed it's been 18 years okay. If you read social security site to listen information is so confusing it's better to call and talk. Anyway i was injured on a job while carrying for my father who was dying at the time. So first i got on the disability insurance. That was key for me because when my wife died i was able to switch the normal social security benefit instead of the smaller benefits for disability. I can't remember all of it because the attorney did everything. He did tell me stories about other ways around and stuff i don't know how far you want to go with this but that's what happened for me. Set the time i had money in stocks and everything else like that so it was no big deal. I hope that helps
If you have a disability then yes if you have enough credits then you can get didsbilty
The only way I am aware of to collect social security before 62, is if you become disabled and can't work.
@@matthouchins13 I got mine under survivor benefits when my wife died at 50. You can get a percentage of your passing wife social security from 50 until 62 and then switch to regular social security. There's a couple other tricks you can do like starting to draw money on your investors under something called 72T
This allows you to use your life expectancy age and under some formula you can start drawing on funds like investments .penalty free. If you have any decent savings and anything else you may consider a tax attorney.
Hi Harold, we cant really help u without knowing alot more about urself, prefereably we need to see u in person so we can evaluate what we are working with, your looks your personality, if ur demeanor is of a thug or an ah or an mma fighter u mite be better off, but if ur demeanor is more of a nerd or geek or dweeb or naive or soft or sheep then we need to toughen you up a little bit before u go, otherwise u are going to be eaten alive out there by piranas and moochers. Go watch all the videos and channels on red pill content because ur questions tell me that ur blue pilled. Also please keep in mind that advice and knowledge is not going to be enough, at the end of the day we need to see you move differently and act differently, u need to practice and train and toughen up, u have to be tough and say NO to any moocher mooching off of u, dont get attached and expect every relationship to end, plan on breaking up and plan on losing money and wasting your time invested in any relationship, Dont be a litte b or a cry baby when it ends and dont get blindsided. If shes young and educated then shes got options and will drop u on a dime especially as she goes up the ladder higher and higher, it will get to her head, but dont worry about that its her loss and better for u cause u get ur freedom back and u can move on to flirting with more partners for the rest of ur life. I dont know why you want to get locked down and trapped by a single person once u become retired and instead keep ur freedom and see the whole wide world with ur passport. Why just the flips? Take a world tour of south east asia instead by urself or better yet bring along a Wingman. Dont give up ur house, rent it out to ur best friend or brother cause once u leave the usa u don't know when and if things can go sideways for u in any other country for a million different reasons, u could get setup, u could get in trouble with the law, u could get extorted or robbed or ur stuff gets confiscated. If ur going for Xmas then that means its Cuffing Season which means everybody is in a holiday mood which can be a good thing however the moochers will be more ferocious at that time also theft skyrockets around that time so b extra careful. Instead of taking the tribe out to eat I would suggest you go to the local supermarket and buy all the ingredients and have them cook at home, buy the larger bags so they have rice and beans leftover for other days. Of course also pickup soda and coke and local liquor if u guys drink i imagine some sort of beer and rum. And dont forget to do some Karaoke. Theres a million other things we need to discuss before u go. Good Luck God Speed Broh.
Definitely blue pilled
You judge on looks. is a MMA fighter a bad guy or is the Quote nerd, geek or dweeb a better person to handle a problem.
She s 24 year old - good luck. Send money some never meet is most stupid i ever heard. Another thing i bought a Hanabishi own bread toaster in cebu - i like the design and nice to have when i move to filipines. Brring some tuba for a gift
thanks for watching and the comment
This guy hasn't one lick of common sense. You gave him great advice on every silly question he asked and I bet he will ignore every single word. He is the kind that can be cleaned out in a second.
first time i hear you Mike, excellent, love your advices
Thanks
@josephmansour3151 please subscribe and enjoy a few other videos
Mike, these relationship drama / advice videos are gold ... please keep them coming
thanks I just counted I have over 50 e mails like this with different questions
Love the content! I 2nd that!
Harold is fine. hes getting interest from a young woman in the Phils. that would never happen to him in the west. enjoy yourself Harold. be careful with the money thing. meet the girl and have fun. you only live once
totally agree have fun
Never send her money my god. Maybe birthday and Christmas but not regularly and that's after meeting
good advice
Harold ! You should to know relationship don’t work like their.
Is all right to talk but don’t get blinded or make plans without get to know first be a adult on relationship
good point
Harold, trust but verify. Visit her and family. Talk to neighbors and friends. Time will grow your bond. Time will also show many truths good and bad. How do you two react to conflict?
Also, take leave without pay for a few months.
You have to be careful getting info from neighbors and friends they could lie just to steal the rich American.
My first time going there, I went to the Hershey store in Hershey and loaded up on chocolate. Had a whole luggage filled with it.
everyone loved you
Mike, I think that one should wait until they are close to moving to the Philippines or if they want to bring her back to their home county, not to start a long-distance relationship.
Do ferries require vaxx passes still?
no. not that I have heard of we travel by ferry and never asked for one
Im moving to philippines but not saling my house anytime soon if ever. my daughter will stay there she expected to pay tax insurance utilitys it will not be rental property for tax purpose .
Hello Mike, I always enjoy your podcast, thank you for sharing. I just wanted advise you of a legal issue in the Philippines if you are married to a Filipino a law States that you are required to support your wife and her family including her brothers and sisters education and the welfare upkeep And health of your Filipino wives parents. This is a serious legal issue that many x pats do not know of and the majority of the Filipino people especially from the Providence do not know of this law but I would advise that you check it out I know for certain it is a Filipino law according to a Filipino attorney.
you watch to much of the other youtubers who do not understand life here in the Philippines. Show me that in a law book or what section of Philippine law is that
Do you have any testimonies of Enforcement? what happens when it goes sideways? Do you get sued? or can you get Arrested? Thanks
no expat has every been arrested for not helping a girl friends family
the law as I understand it applys to the filipinos, not an expat. So if you raise her standard of living and she can afford to support her parents and family, then yes she could be forced to do so in court by the family members. But it is a civil law, so they would have to sue her in court and the judge would decide based on her income and the family's need.
Thanks to everyone who replied to this concern. I'm retired and live and have spent half my life in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. I have been to Asia but never to southeast Asia, so this will be a new adventure for me. I'm just trying to understand the laws and marriage in the Philippines. Thanks again guys!
Oh man, oh man! I was wrong thinking that most men will be wise at 50s…
A restaurant like Lantaw is the perfect suggestion.
Hey Dexter How you doing. Thanks for watching
@@mikesphilippineretirement I’m good just chilling and watching your videos
it was a little long. It put me to sleep watching it. Hahaha
When you marry a Filipina, or have sex with a "nice girl", you adopt the family! Believe me, after 33 years of marriage, I speak from experience. If they get sick, they will come to you. If they can't afford something, they will come to your through your wife. I have spent around 50K over the last 33 years, and that doesn't include what my wife has spent of her on money from her job. A lot was voluntary because I could see how hard my wife was working to support them and because I love my wife, I sometimes offered to help. Luckily, I was able to afford it.
Amen brother.
Same thing also.
thank you for the comment Squatch
U are not in a relationship if u have never met the person, it's crazy this has to be pointed out to a grown man
you need to learn from someone the in and outs of online relationships
Hahaha, My number ONE rule! No honey? No money!!!! It’s just that simple! 😉🤭
nothing wrong with that
👌👌👌
welcome
Have you done a video chat yet?
just a few emails ..he asked the questions and I offer to do a video to answer them and he said ok ... so here we are
Oh no This is so sad and so desperate
This is simply a business transaction at best .. money is the core , this poor guy wants a woman / girl so bad
how do you know what she is thinking
Thanks TH-cam for the double commercials now
back to back sorry to hear that
And maybe also the girl is lying. Maybe she's not studying engineering because it takes a lot of money for an engineering student.i just want to share a friend of mine sending money to her girlfriend meet online she said shes studying nurse and she's sending her money each month to help and decided to visit her in the Philippines but thanks God he discover that she's scamming him because he pretend to be someone else and boom she got caught so you need to be very careful Harold. No rush take it easy don't be one of the victim
thanks for sharing
Good Point, don't trust anyone that has access to a Smartphone and the Internet 😅
Thats how i kinda met wifey hahaha. Nowxwe have been together 24 years going 25
many great stories of on line dating
@@mikesphilippineretirement more like penpals. Internet wasnt as widespread then
I married a Chinese woman. I went to China for a little over 2 weeks at a time but honestly you really don't know a person online if only a short time and meeting them a short time in a foreign country. When you go to a new place in International Travel you are in tourist mode. All is exciting. If having fun physically lust takes over. It is not a real relationship no matter what you think. I never gave her family any money nor her. She and her family had their own money. I married her in the US and shortly thereafter the trouble began. Child support and other fun. Life has been miserable for me. Be careful. Take your time and if you do there is probably only a 50-50 chance of divorce. Rush into something and you will be sorry. That is my advice.
Would say that I would not bring her to the US if only 5 years to retire, although Harold said it was going to be quite some time before he retires. After the K1 visa or the Marriage visa, she will get a temporary green card for 2 years then she will need to reapply for a 10 year green card. Is she going to work? Going to be hard to leave when she is allowed to stay and make good money, compared to the Philippines. Sounds like there is a lot to consider. Maybe she plans on being an OFW.
Would not worry about any of this stuff at all because you haven't even met her yet. Follow Mikes advice and take things slow. Good luck to you, Harold. Good Video, Mike...Jim
thanks for watch and the great comment Jim
I have a partner that is a mature woman like me to see old white men in the Philippines with young Filipinos is quite amusing never would you see that in the US Uk Australia.
yes sad in other countries you do not see that...UNLESS a rich old man is with a beautiful young lady you see that a lot but you except it b/c that is life
Yes, this is mostly the rich that have this luxury in the western culture, Michael Douglass, Leonardo Decaprio, Jeff Bezos.....on and on, everyone seems to ignore this fact. But in the Philippines this is available to most single western men, but people who have never been there don't understand that it is just life there and not unusual at all.
I get going after the young, hot Filipinas and aside from the money and security she will get, do you think it is fair to her to date a man 30 years her senior? Seems it would be better to find someone closer to his age, maybe 30 or 40 years old. Then again, this seems to be the trend so if everyone is happy, so be it. My Filipin wife is 5 years younger than me and we have been married 33 years. If not for money, why would a hot, young Filipina want an old man? Both sides are getting what they want so cough up the money and help her out!
Starting from Zero, dating older women that is a complete stranger to you means that they have been used by other dudes throughout their lifetime is gross and nasty plus they are coming with a ton of baggage and a ton of experience from past experiences prior to you. What you did is just the opposite and thats different and doesn't count since your saying u guys got together in your 20s and now you guys are in your 60s, shes been with you all this time so how you see her is very different compared to a new boyfriend thats starting from zero with her in her 60s, he's basically picking up the scraps and leftovers and he's cheating himself. So yeah just Rent or Lease or Hire someone occassionally, get urself someone young tight and a dime piece. And leave the grandmas alone to their children and family memebers and cats =)
30 or 40 even 50 If you enjoy each other what is the problem
Harold make sure she has no kids or she's not telling you this , has she been married , all these things must be asked , if there's doubt ask her to get a seminar to prove it might cost you $ 40.00 but money well spent for the truth
good advise Guys
Correct. Ask for a cenomar..to prove she is NOT married. It only cost less than 400 pesos..that’s arnd usd$7
Too many red flags. Going there at Christmas time to meet. You will bring all the gifts to the party. Welcome ATM with a big Christmas Bow. Her story sounds like a written script.
😏 your read my mind, i mentioned something similar, it sounds like he's being Setup to be Santa, its going to b Cuffing Season, the love bombing and honeymoon stage, all wrapped up, He's Doomed 😅
December traveling for him I think because of so many holidays and his vacation it will let him stay longer and has nothing to do with Christmas.
Redhorse and rice then sit back and watch the show 😂
Tootsie rolls for the kids
hahaha
Dont send anything before you go to meet her! You want to make sure when you visit she is interested in you and not your money. Believe me she will respect you more.
good point
Meet in person on line is to risky it's not worth it you end up paying the price
Love you girl!
what girl?
@@mikesphilippineretirement Sorry, got the wrong blog. Sorry
watching one of the filipinas live stream..hahaha
hey go down to davao have the time of your life meet that gal and have fun try not to blow a bunch of money
enjoy your life. remember you can not take it with you
I would send zero until I knew her better and have met her, some of the girls here have many men sending them money all the time, that's there living, if he really likes her I would make arrangements to come as possible
yes asap for the first meeting in person
Come on Mike. Too, to and two. The proper version of this word to be used in your thumbnail is TOO. If you are using poor grammar folks are not going to take you seriously and why should they. ????????
They should take me as seriously as I take you...But thank you for the lesson
FUN FACT. It is actually a law here that if the immediate family is struggling any member of the family that is well off, they can legally sue if you do not help them with needs. (if shes your wife )Only there actually needs to survive. Most filipino's dont know that law though so SSSSSHHHHHH lolol
OMG hahaha. really a man going to the Philippines is not going to be held responsible for a girls family and well being.
@@mikesphilippineretirement I see you just did a new video on this topic, I knew what I was talking about. I learned it from Pea lol
ONE MINUTE IN , IT SOUNDS LIKE HIM AND HIS MONEY WILL SOON BE PARTED.
SAVE THE TIME AMD YOUR HEART AND JUST MAIL HER A CHEQUE FOR A SHIT LOAD OF YOUR MONEY
all caps and hard statement...not nice
