As one who has just done a few months stint on filipino dating sites & observed alot of girls wanting money sent for what ever reason...load, rent, nude pic etc etc
I am relieved I'm not the only one who noticed the decline in legit girls on these sites..
Yep things have changed a "whole lot " since covid ...& i think its due to a few factors but one outstanding one for the girls & thats called survival...
We want what they have & they want what we have...
They don't need your love, they need your money, they already have love from their family
What the world needs now, is ❤sweet ❤
The simps are gunna ruin it. That’s the problem, simping.
They always do, they ruin everything
Why why why would you send MONEY to a person you’ve NEVER MET!🤦🏽♂️
millions of guys around the world do it because they think they can impress and 'reserve' a lady in foreign lands.
Because she show you her privates😂it’s true they are internet pmrostitudes
Because we're dumb. We listen to her story and want to be her hero.
White knight
very simple do not send money .. does not matter if the girls request money
I am not joking but ever serious and honest ....in 2 years and even now chating as entertaiment only to well over 300 ladies from Filipina ...only 1, did not ask for money in the first 5 minutes. Dating sites are not the problem ..it's the women that are the problem. Only way to realisticlly meet a good lady is the old fashion why ...in person through a friend or at church. ...even then, it's a crap shoot. STAY single and NEVER marry any of them.
Yes indeed. I will NEVER marry again.
Sounds just like in America. Lots of predators out there for guys' money.
Old dog was talking to his wife about online dating and she said that most women that she knows don’t want a boyfriend they just want an online boyfriend. Your advice is spot on. You need to be there in person. There are still an insane amount of young beautiful women in the Philippines, who want to date foreigners.
Baby Mae is working it online selling what should not be for sale. If she was a guy it would be illegal.
Still, until the dating scene change again due to so many westerners coming in the Philippines and spreading their western dating mentality.
@@damncars2618 A tradition that goes back perhaps millennia seems to suggest that you are wrong, not that it really matters , because you don’t have one to sell anyway, so the decision will never be yours to make.
Where are some good place in the Philippines to meet Filipinas?
@@binkysteaver9880 So your okay with human trafficking. Guess it's an epidemic here.
I went to Manila on March 2024. Had a great time. Girls were great. No complaints
You are 1 million percent correct with everything you’re saying. Especially with keeping the Filipinas in the Philippines. You’re 1,000,000% right.
no matter how bad it's gotten, it's still 1000x better than dating in America.
Have you been here? I am just wondering. I do not mean any disrespect.
Absolutely, women smile at you continuously ; that doesn't mean you are going to get a number, but at least you get some attention that would be impossible in the west (I'm in the Philippines 😁)
True That ! I Been there 2 x
@@timetosee9251I have and He is Right
Exactly
Whether you move here or come for a visit, don't waste your time in places like Manila or Angeles city it's a complete waste of time if you are serious and that's where the scamers are hanging. Koreans took control over the girls in these places. Nowadays you have to go visit the provinces. It's much less expensive the girls are a bit more shy but, when you find one you will get the full package
“Koreans took over the girls in these places” what does that even mean man
Hey Gio, you nailed it and even the likes of CF are being overtaken by the scammers. But one fuels the other. If there were no men willing to send money before meeting someone than there would be less Filipinas taking advantage. This doesn't make Filipinas bad just opportunistic. As you say they have figured it out. Just a numbers game now.
Recently revisited a dating site I used back in 2016-17 to meet someone I ended up nearly married to and its completely flipped now. Before it was 85% real and 15% sketchy. Now it's 15% (probably less) and 85% scammer. However that only reflects the market these women have access to. All evidence suggests a great many foreign guys willing to send money before meeting in person. If we guys turn the spigot off here, maybe things will start to correct. Boots on the ground seems to be the best way to go.
Take care
Matt Jimi Gee
You are correct!!! I have been to the Philippines twice in the last year. You will get tons of interest online dating apps, but as soon as they know you are actually in the Philippines, it’s crickets. It seems to me that foreigners are not considered “special “ as much anymore. Out in the provinces everyone is curious but they are about anyone new! I wish you would investigate the lying culture there in the Philippines. Also smart shaming , all was a surprise when I encountered it.
the reason they go quiet if they know you are already here is: those women are very likely scammers - they cannot scam you with fake promises of meeting, because you are actually in the country, so no money requests before the date that will never happen
I tried a dating site two weeks ago, it’s almost all the women who are after money quickly by various means. There seem to be some who are genuine but sometimes you don’t realise for a few days. The usual line is they’re looking for serious relationship but need help now. The level of entitlement is high I guess due to their experience of other many men will simp for them.
If you resist all these efforts to send money you may not have one to chat too 😂
good video. another factor to consider is that over the last few years, with expats SLOWLY returning to the PH... many are playing it safe and looking for filipinas in expat-saturated cities like manila, cebu and duma.
so they run into indifference or jaded filipinas just looking for a payout in those cities and begin spreading the idea that dating in the PH isn't what it used to be.
as I've said for years... get outside of the usual expat-zones. pick a smaller island or city that isn't filled up with expats. places like argao, toledo, bais, sibulan, bacong, valencia, consolacion.. even places like bogo, leyte, or samar. or provinces south of manila, well outside the city limits.
i still maintain that the vast majority of the best filipinas are NOT on a dating site looking at 100 other options. the best ones are everyday women in everyday life. approach them in-person and that's the winning ticket for finding a good woman.
Absolutely reekay.
100%
Online they will message u and find u thru fb messenger and they start hustling for $. Boots on the ground proved challenging as well. I was there in january and march and i got shutout. 0 dates for me and im not old. Im in really good shape, considered decent looking. No doubt phillpines is no longer any easy place to date. I have had more luck here in the West
Girls in thePhilippines are getting chunky from all the chinese processed food and lack of nutrient filled frsh vegetables and fruits. Or maybe thats just their preference. Granted there are lots of markets, but the vegetables and fruits are very undesirable compared to places like Thailand. The kids are so chubby now there. Wont be much longer that single guys will go to Vietnam and Cambodia in their search for someone that eats and looks healthier.
Chinese food??? lol Its the western food
Its always a numbers game Gio. There still are many girls out there that want us.
I think people like me are responsible. We got online and wouldn't settle for a woman with children. We found the perfect girl for us, got to know each other during the pandemic and are now living happily ever after 😅. We accepted the Philippines traditional cultural heritage, that a good Filipina does not date for body count, but only dates for courtship and marriage. There's more of us around than you realize.
I have been on one of the Philippines dating apps that you recommend for the last 3 days and wow, what a bunch of toxic garbage you are going to meet on these apps, just forget about it, that’s how bad it is, the dating apps have become a cesspool of toxicity.
Try PinaLove. I have never seen any blogger or Expat in this country match my beautiful Filipina. Never take the terrible advice to wait to get here and pass her on a street or mall. The very best and most beautiful are in far off provinces where you’ll never go, and they are only online. Don’t restrict yourself. Pick any blogger and if you think their girlfriend is gorgeous, you have never been here.
It's not only the dating scene that changed, it's the social climate and those two go hand in hand. There's a lot more money among the people now than when I first visited in 1999. Many of the girls who would have entered into large age gap relationships with foreigners before now marry Filipinos closer to their own age because they can. A second reason - which you also mentioned in this video - is that they can now get younger foreigners. We are living in an era of digital nomads. These guys may be 30 years our junior. If a guy living on a pension is financially appealing, how appealing must it be to marry a guy who is at the hight of his career, making much more than our pensions? Like any other market, the dating market is a matter of supply and demand.
I haven't noticed a change. It's still very easy to date in the Philippines. I do however think filipinas are a little more picky (as they should be).
How to mitigate this?
1. Workout. Get in shape. Eat cleaner. Stop smoking. Limit drinking.
2. Look younger. Dye your hair, beard. Partially bald? Shave your head. See your surgeon. Etc.
3. Fix your teeth.
These will help you...
Go away
I went to Philippines last year for a few months in order to date women but I found it very hard. I used dating sites when I was there since I am not the guy that just approach women I see.
Now I am looking at dating sites again but will only go back there if I have a few serious women I have talked to a while without sending any money of course. I am already living in Thailand so it is easy for me to go to Philippines too and stay a while. I will not bring a girl to my home country either, either I move to Philippines or I take nher to Thailand.
I don’t think it’s necessarily the pandemic. It’s the influence of social media and smartphones. More girls can afford smartphones, good cameras, load, social media, TikTok etc. their confidence is boosted on these platforms, better filters, easier communications with everyone all over the world. Maybe more tourists since the pandemic so that’s one aspect. But are there enough young foreigners? I don’t think so. Do they stay? I don’t think so. So the long term game is kinda the same in my opinion. If you’re willing to stay, support family or date a single mom, the chances are still great as most young foreigners just come and go. I find it very unlikely that a large number of young foreigners with a handsome look is willing to stay in the Philippines.
You need to be young, financially independent, have a large net worth or great online job which is guaranteed to last, you also gotta be someone who has given up on the west at a young age. I find it nearly impossible that there is a huge number of foreigners like that. However Filipinas might have an opportunity to date a lot of young foreigners that won’t last, so a higher supply of young foreigners is very possible but these guys will not stay and not settle. So some Filipinas might just choose to date temporary young guys and never settle as opposed to choosing an older guy to settle with.
Well said lad.
If you're picky, I calculate the odds of finding the right girl on a dating site at 0.005%! There is also the aspect of if you are not vaccinated, do you really want to date someone that is?
Transactional relationships are just becoming more mainstream. This is true in the vast majority of countries.
Spot on Gio 👍
Definitely changed since the pandemic and of course they don’t not even need a guy when they have several idiots sending them money,
Just one thing missing in your description of internet dating, it doesn’t even need to be a girl posting on the site or even a Filipina , can be someone in India or Africa with some pics of a Filipina …
I was in the Philippines last July and August… mainly in makati but did travel a bit …
Some observations:
There are so so so many young good looking foreigners… this I believe is through a younger culture that doesn’t want to be tied to a desk job and work online anywhere in the world … so as you said Gio , who wants a 60 plus when they can get somewhere around there age and actually love the guy.
Online as you said is mainly a disaster , almost all the girls expect money , old fat , , 8 kids they all see the foreigner as the dumb sucker who will do what the Filipino father or husband or partner won’t do for there own family…. Give money … they know even the richest Filipino man wouldn’t give them a centavo so it’s there firm belief the idiot nice sweet big hearted foreigner will bail them out .
I agree with you Gio the best way to meet is to move there … and date normally…is it easy like before , as pointed out , no way… but still will beat the western countries by so much .
Please comment if you disagree 😂
I agree David!
So true. Thanks Gio for the wisdom and advice.
There are plenty of interested Filipinas to meet in person. Avoid wasting time and money on the dating apps/sites.
I think that during COVID, when so many turned to the dating sites, many got the idea that there is a large pool of younger western men for them to pick from. The reality is that a very small percentage of older men will actually get on a plane. The percentage nose dives the younger you go.
Almost overnight, the girl's preferred age range dropped 15-20 years. It's easy for a younger man that does not have the funds to retire/move overseas to come and play peso millionaire. After his fun vacation is over, girl gets dropped like a rock. Seen it happen over and again.
Now the same girl that could have had an older well financed expat who would have loved and provided for her has a real big problem. A lot of the older guys will automatically "next" a girl who has been doing the panty drop with another foriegner.
Result? These girls who let the internet blow up their egos are now even less likely to find someone. There is an infinite supply of young attractive women. Sincere and well funded men? Not so much.
Another "perfectly" said statement. I will never be interested in a Filipina who has already been ran through by a foreigner. Once a Filipina has been with a foreigner, she is Westernized for life and should've stayed with him or she should have been more selective on her choice to open her heart (and/or legs) to a foreigner.
So, even though had success myself with an LDR, most of my Filipina wifes Filipina married friends, met there partner in the Philippines. Think what lowers your odds bringing a Filipina to the states is if you are a jerk, then you deserve to be taken to the cleaners. Think most guys should know that even if you have better success in the Philippines dating, if you have some personality problems and find it hard to get along with anyone, don't think a Filipina will be any better and you should probably just keep her in the Philippines.
Success depends on the Filipina you find or wind up with on if you try dating apps.
Thanks for the video, Gio...Jim
There was a fair amount of good info in this video, but the most essential takeaways are:
1) You gotta be boots on the ground, and
2) Don’t take her out of SEA (long-term).
Bonus Round: don’t be discouraged, gents. It’s still the best place on Earth for dejected western men. 🇵🇭
Cheers, 🍻
Gio, this is the realest video you've ever made. Well said.
Best advice is to never bring her back to the west...thats just inviting a divorce
Well that’s not real love then. If the only way your girl will stay with you is if she stays in the Philippines then you need to rethink your game.
Agree that the pandemic did change things because of what you discussed; however, they would not be doing this if there wasn't so many stupid men sending them money.
I agree with all Gio says in this vid, although I have not traveled to PH, but based on my experience with two Filipinas. One worked me hard, the other did not, but the second was sure happy to receive the few hundred USD I’ve sent over the years. Interestingly, as soon as stopped sending money to the first, she quit chatting me immediately and now that I’ve cut off the second, she too has stopped chatting me, go figure 🤨
@Any5364B yes, learned my lesson… regardless of whether or not ya send money to a Filipina, there is nothing to be gained by carrying on with a LDR, it’s only a fantasy, I maintained my “chat buddies” for entertainment purposes only, but have since grown tired of it 😒
* A lot of new simp foreigners who are willing to send money , definitely changed the game!
Nailed it. The simps are ruining it for everybody
I know girls who have amassed 100 k+ on line. Finding a nice sweet good girl is not easy anywhere Gio
Yes, many girls are getting a ton of money dumped on them by foreigners overseas. Often they’ll have several online boyfriends because it’s super profitable for them
I don t know about other folks, but I found my girl online and its always hit and miss. I have not run into scammers. But " let the buyer aware."
\
Gio, some Filipinas get jealous and want the things that other filipinas have so they try to get a foreigner to upgrade their lifestyle. I met my girlfriend online while in the Philippines she's amazing, and we met in person. So, meeting online is not the issue it's how and where you meet them online
That explains a lot!! Thanks
i was with my fiance in Dec 2023. and we split costs. she lives in Malaysia but we met in Philippines. im planning to go to Malaysia in a few months to see her again. we have been in a LDR since 2021. she has a business so its hard for her to move here so easily. but hopefully by next year.
It's refreshing to see the veteran vloggers speaking the truth.....when I was in country 35 years ago things were quite different....
You were also 35 years younger 35 years ago. Probably more hair on your head and less bloat in your belly and not so saggy wrinkly skin. Is it any surprise dating is now harder for you? I'm not saying this to be rude, I'm saying this to be bluntly honest.
Now there is no denying feminism has made things worse, but if you're relatively young and in shape, the phils is still shooting fish in a barrel.
I will never use dating sites to meet women. The ship has sailed on the good old days.
A lot of westernization of the Philippines may be a factor?
A possible factor yes.
Dating scene?
Foreigners get it wrong.
The is no dating scene with traditional humble conservative family oriented filipinas.
These foreigners get involved with single mothers with tattoos, promiscuous and westernized wannabes.
Foreigners go with the first filipina that is hunting for an easy ATM wallet.
Lol westernization is a funny word. Just accept it's how us younger folks do things now everywhere. Tinder, Bumble, Tiktok? So easy to meet partners if you're not old.
Absolutely 💯..... correct US westerners are slowly westernizing traditional Filipino
Women we don't need to take them to America, we're bringing America to them.
Well, you come here and try passing her on the street or in a mall and then I’ll compare her to my fiancé and you’ll see how wrong you are
The roles have changed. But I don’t think a Filipina is seeking a temporary mate.
Truth gio as for a woman mexico is better option
Great job gio,love your commonsense here!!
I think your exactly right about this.
Yeah, this is absolutely true, and to be honest, I have had nothing but scammers that I’ve dealt with asking for money for absurd things I would say the best women that I’ve messaged that I’ve never dealt with scamming issues with Vietnam women
Great wisdom 👏
Yeah, 'bout the looks, pics in the Ph, well they don't mean much.
I had this date, she looked more or less like a super model, I was amazed she was gonna meet me, in the west she'd never even answered me online. And yes, we met on a dating site. She sent a pic from the bus when she was goin' to meet me, a filipina super model in a beat up bus travelin' for hours to meet an old, western guy, it didn't add up.
Now, she actually resembled her looks from the pics in real life, she was dirt poor though and had lots of dental issues. She'd kept her mouth shut in the pics. I knew she was a single mom, I didn't know no details though. According to her the father of her child had moved in with her best friend, I figure he was some kinda local "catch" in her village.
She still looked good in real life, but it seemed I was gonna be more of a social worker than a bf or possible husband. After the 1st date I called it off in a reasonably decent way, it wasn't easy though, since she easily was the best looking lady I'd dated since my divorce.
I hope things worked out for her and her child.
Great topic
City women are to westernized, I’ll stay in the province
If online is dying out, what is the way to meet (if you are in PH)?
Go to church great place to meet a good girl we all benefit from it you know spiritual awakening.
Online can be ok if you already have a plane ticket in hand or are here in the Philippines. Just be smart about it and don't give money.
Sigh. Gio, I'm sticking with your prior statement of loving the place first. Don't move to a place to find a girlfriend/wife. That's will be my guiding philosophy in August when I go to Panama City Panama in mid-August. Next year, the Philippines.
good point
The best approach is to be cautious. The next best thing is for an older guy to get into shape and lower his biological appearance by 15 to 20 years. This is possible by extreme exercise diet and taking care of yourself which will inevitably lead to a longer life and a healthier life. This is my approach. I am 60+, and also Thailand is a much better choice than the Philippines in my opinion. I'm moving to Thailand in my retirement in the next 3 months and will only visit Angeles and Makati for S/T with girls. Do not get married, just have trysts.
I'm going to Cebu on my exploratory visit for the whole month of August. With the number of single eligible women there, I see no reason to use dating sites. The problems associated with dating sites is not worth the risk. But some guys will never be able to approach women. I get it. I just refuse to use them
so how is your trip going? have you been able to get any dates?
very simple do not send money .. does not matter if the girls request money ..
Met my filipina wife on Facebook in 2017 and she moved to the USA, close to where you lived, in 2020 and we got married and life has been good. There are 1000 filipinas in the Twin Ports area. Most are great and faithful women but I have met 2 who are just as bad as many Western women. We plan on moving to the Philippines in 5 years after my son graduates. I retire next year and my pension will be over $4000 per month so hopefully we will do ok. We will be looking for a good private school for our daughter
I have to agree. Don’t be an overseas ATM for these girls.
Dating has changed here because after the pandemic, many, many, many senior citizens were on the verge of homelessness or living in poverty in some of these "best in the world" countries. So, they fled here where they felt they could feel like they had money. Yet they find these barely legal young minded girls, and try to convince them to act like the women back in their countries, while not desiring the same things as those women.
I for one so want to move out to the Philippines. Have my VA and SSDI to do it... just need the access to the funds while there. I also just want to serve in a good Christian church, do Brazilian JJ, Muay Thai and workout, all the things I do here in the states... Just want a woman to share life with.... and of course soak up the culture as well. On your topic... this has me concerned about starting a new life there.
It ain’t what it used to be. If you’re 50+, you’ll find it much more challenging to find a girl who’s sincere. Don’t be a walking ATM!
Good points Gio EXCEPT for the younger guy theory. Many Filipinas desire the resources, security & loyalty not to cheat that an older man provides over most upunger guys. Don't get too discouraged "mature" men!😂
Yes, I agree, but Filipinas have more options now.
I agree with u 💯
I'm 38. I have been serious considering selling my house in two years and moving there. I do not plan on bringing one back if I do come back.. that's for sure. You need to get one who's 18-21 when they're still young enough to shape and mold into a wife. If you get one with a lot of miles on her and there's probably a good reason she's single.
I got nothing nice to say about dating here. Lessons learned, in person only, no dating sites they all use filters, the picture you see is not what you're getting. Im a 3x loser. Im 68, been coming here since 1978. Moved here permanently in 2009. Going back to US in 7 days. I wish all of you the best, ive had enough.
@nairb9321, bro, if you haven't dated in the U.S. since you left in 2009, you're in a rude awakening! You're better off staying in the Philippines as a 68 year old man with no "age-ism" with the culture and beautiful 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50 year olds still wanting to date you!
But I guess you need to experience the U.S. dating scene for yourself. Good luck out there!
One million percent agree
If you go to the Philippines to date always have the abundance mind set . Because the fact is you can replace her if she is not what you need or want . It sounds harsh but if you come to the Philippines with a western mindset thinking they can’t find another girl or a better option. The fact is replacing isn’t that hard so have some standards and pride and move on if you don’t feel like it’s working . I’m not an ego maniac I’m in my 50’s and average guy at best but it’s totally different here . I’ll glad I sifted through the ladies that I didn’t match up with .Till I found the one I’m happy with now .
Hi, Gio what is your age gap with Mia ?
yes, the internet has changed some of those who scam however that game don't last long.
Yeah sure!
Nowadays, high percentage of the girls are asking for money, its obviously fed by the number of simps . Part of it is girls asking like $20 for load and it becoming normal, i thought it costs less, maybe you could remind guys of what current load costs are, I'm not sure how much it is.
Another item...
It helps if you're okay with the filipina having kids. There's an epidemic of single moms in the Philippines. Sad but true. If you're okay with the girl having kids, you'll find it very easy to find a gal in the Philippines. My filipina has two and they're great. If you don't like kids, then i suggest not wasting their time. They're all hoping to find a good family man...
Everything I mean everything and everywhere sucks a lot worse since pandemic.
Im German if we marry the woman generally gets much less money than in the US so we dont have these issues even without a prenup ... even so I took a peek at dating site like filipinocupid and Christian filipina most girls there werent to my liking no profiles filled up inactive for months even in preselection I could narrow it down to probably 10 interesting profiles and i would never spend hundreds of bucks for that as i also know chances for attractive women like that having no bf or not doing this as a scamming sidehustle if they are active on the side are 1 of 100. so my odds are too bad im playing casino and lottery at the same time with my time and money to find a good girl? No way. No wonder a lot of men will commit if they think they found a decent one not knowing which gane she really plays bcz they never met the girl.
All I ever hear is bad stories anymore. The only men who were successful were looking before things went to hell or they looked for years to find her. Everyone says to look outside of the big cities but you MUST have your own transportation to do that and where the heck to you look in these small towns? How do you approach them without them freaking and running to their family about a strange man approaching them? It just seems like it's rough going now. I used to be able to just go to SM Mall and find a decent woman... not anymore.
CAREFUL boys 📢😭 you're being played , they need your 💲💲💲💲 love does not pay their bills
I gave you a like because I like the content of your vlog.
Boots on the ground….if you have game…you have options!! 🇺🇸❤️🇵🇭
Ok, so dating apps are dead! I believe it's time to reach the inner masculinity we all have had repressed in the western world, and start to cold/warm approach women; the worst case scenario is the answer "sorry sir, I have a boyfriend" - not that bad as rejection in my opinion and ego should be safe 😁
Ya but no choice. Have to use the dating sites, unless you live there. Stop sending money, esp if you never meet them guys jeez
In the areas where foreigner are not there a not alot of jobs for Filipina women so alot go abroad or are in need of money especially in Mindanao because of the high Muslim population
Cant trust dating apps and even meeting a girl out there that says things good but also on a dating app aswell if not 2 or 3 apps.
Stay away from any Filipina under 27 years old to increase your odds
Online has opened up a lot of scamming.
What behind pandemic?
3:18 "The video calls are definitely really important..." To be certain, you have to meet them in person, and ideally with very little or no makeup. th-cam.com/video/lkMRhCyazqM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/buMWJt7K4jM/w-d-xo.html
Gio, I believe that the only way is boots on the ground, but only after you have decided where to live.
Tic Tok and too many new expats.
Loneliness and desperation have replaced common sense and logic. Just look at the comments on Filipina videos, you see so many saying nothing but how beautiful she is, which shows they were focused on her body and not the information she was giving, which is why so many fall for scams. Then they'll be on here whining and crying they were scammed. NO you weren't, she just took what you willingly gave, you played yourself!! If you don't give money you can't be scammed.
Simpin’ ain’t easy… 😂
In other words weak men plenty of them around
Go, have you learned to speak Tagalog yet? If so, did you find it difficult to learn.

What I have difficulty understanding is how some of these older Westerners are allowing their wives to dress provocatively on their videos and also allowing them to do dancing videos in short shorts and bikini tops for likes and supper chats it seems as the cost of living is going up in the Phillipines so is the exploitation of their wives
They are "pimping" their wives for clicks & views.
Exactly. MOst of these girls are becoming trashy
short answer: views and ADsense revenue. In their justification, most of this money go actually to the girls, but I agree, it doesn't look great
Case in point:old dog dumagete
What covid 😅
Strange. I have young pinays sending money to me ...
I call BS on that
@@GiointhePhilippines Pay to play mentality or reckless chasing is not want woman want. They want the prize.
I have met wonderful ladies using dating sites, it’s easier, more receptive, but yes one needs to be careful with so many scammers, but ask me if I would do it again. YES. Usually scammers give themselves up as soon as they ask for money. Believe me, I have sent a lot of money. Regrets, sure!
But why would they pay attention to an old ugly expat? Your personality?? Come on. It’s a small investment for meeting the right one. That’s my take. Ty
I just don't think it is realistic to avoid dating sites. When the first meeting is face to face, you don't know if they are compatible in so many ways I cannot even list them all. For a guy coming to the Philippines for a limited time on his first visit and looking for a serious relationship, he doesn't want to spend a lot of time going on dates with women that are not the right one and he could have learned that from a 30 minute conversation. The chances of finding the right person must be much higher if you have met and talked to women online for a while and narrowed it down to one or a short list. It would be more useful to have good advice on how to do that.
Unless u have spent considerable time in the Philippines, learned the culture, the communication, the families, the way money works you are totally clueless as to how to screen girls that are truly interested in a foreigner for the right reasons. The dating sites are a full mine field for someone without the experience of living here. No shortcuts available here...u can hit the jackpot pulling the handle on the slot machine for the first time, but in reality your chances of finding the right girl that works out on a dating site is next to zero if u don't come here and spend lots of time here.... Your western way of thinking doesn't work here regardless of how much u want it to work that way
First be a descent guy with honest intentions. Second, know what you want. Third spend time communicating. Look for patterns and habits. Attitudes. Honesty. Be wise. Red flags mean stop. Drop. Roll the dice again, don’t waste your time. Next. There are plenty of good and bad. Few in the middle if you are wise. Pick 8’s not 10’s. Most 10’s are winning through scams.
Show me the money 😮😮😮😮
Hi Gio, dating did not really change, with all these TH-cam hype, possibly the new Expats getting here are just getting uglier or much older, women don’t really change but if you are a favored one, you will be preferred no matter what time you come.
Wrong kind of Philipina
