I will most likely break all the stereotypes.....as I am a female who married a Filipino. We both met in the States.... We've been married now for 27 years.
It all comes down to women wanting a stable future and money, and men wanting beautiful women. No matter where you are in this world that's what it's about. And in the Philippines, $1k allowance a month puts you in the "stable with money" category, which means comfort and beautiful women (plural). In the U.S., it puts you in the poverty category, which means Ramen noodles and your laptop. Where else can you go from poor with no women, to a place where you're rich with beautiful little Asians practically begging for your seed? Only in the Philippines....
I married a Filipina who I met while she was working in Hong Kong (there are LOTS of them there). I can't say there was any of that dynamic as you describe going on. She is very ambitious and was looking to meet people from around the world because she knew she couldn't settle for the barefoot and pregnant life back home. I talked to her for several years via e-mail, chat, phone conversations, texting, etc, before I went to HK to meet her in person. Then several more trips to visit her...I asked her to marry me. She made me wait a while, but she said yes. We've been married eleven years now:) Through it all it all our courtship was very genuine. I never got the idea she was attracted to me because I was white, or from the U.S. She sure hasn't taken advantage in the least, but has accomplished a great deal on her own since she's been here. That's my story...
I miss these two people together. Good luck to both. I will always remember meeting you briefly by mistake when you showed up at our place looking for house. Henry & Ned still the best and true kings of this genre. :-)
Ned, you are dead on with you list of allures, especially the first one you discussed about the "walking ATM". I'm glad to hear that Michelle confirmed it's true, because I've also done a video on why beautiful Filipinas love older westerners... and spoiler alert: "Financial Motives" was the main answer. My video has actually been gaining a lot of traction, because the opinion is coming from myself, who is a younger westerner (30 years old) with a young Filipina (25 years old), which as you know, is not as common. Many of the older westerners would disagree with my thinking (not too surprising), but a lot actually hear where I'm coming from. I didn't discuss this in my video, but I'm glad you brought up that it's often a "perceived wealth". Like you mentioned, many of these older westerners are living in the Philippines off of a small pension. Little do the Filipinas know, that back in their own country, these men would be considered BROKE! haha. It's really all about perspective. Thanks for your video!
Sezstyle your true,, my fellow filipina doesn't know about this things, mostly what think if they saw a foreigners they earn a lot of money. But they never think actually that this foreigners running away from thier own country bec, they can't afford the life style in thier country. For me it doesn't matter who he is or what ever he is, as long he has a good heart,.
rona rona LOL - there is a saying: "Are you in the Philippines because you actually like it or it is just because you can't afford to leave?" Thanks, Rona. :)
SezStyle I think a good number of guys actually recognize that their lovely young Filipina is with them partly (more or less) for the financial security that it brings. Thanks Sez.
Philippine Dreams Agreed! And I think as long as this is recognized up-front, than it should hopefully prevent "some" of the relationship issues down the road. Or at least I would like to think this... but every case is different ;)
When it comes to money, I think there is a big misconception about that in reference to filipinas. In the west (USA) and other foreign countries, the cultural concept has become that woman should be self sufficient and able to take care of themselves even if they get married. I believe that it is the responsibility of all husbands to take care of their family, wife and kids, financially. A woman who is looking for a husband should consider whether that man can financially take care of them, i.e., wife and kids. Just because a filipina is looking for a man who can financially support her does not mean she is scamming him or only interested with him because of money. She is doing what i think all woman everywhere are doing when it comes to a husband. If she is gonna have kids with him or has kids already and will spend her time to raise and teach and discipline the kids and take care of him and the family, then she has every right to consider whether he can financially support her in that process. I think the most horrific thing a woman can do is to have a baby and then throw that baby to a babysitter and go off to work in order to have their needs met. And then only see the children at night time or on weekends only and expect that child to grow up healthy and sane. Children learn by their parents example of love, caring, compassion, discipline, how husband and wives are to each other and interact. I think the maternal instincts of a woman is to take care of and raise children and take care of her husband while he works and supports the family. I call that companionship and working together for the best of the family. So if a woman looks for a man that can financially support her and the kids, i think that is normal and not scamming.
'Younger philipina do wont to contribute to house hold income they wont there own money in general it takes two income in west. Gone are the days she stays home with children some lose self worth doing that regret putting there life on hold. I wont my own money my own checking account. They question there self worth then leave you especially if you did not wont her to work.
I just spent fifteen days over there with someone from Aurora in Mindanao, got back just last night. We actually had that discussion about American/Filipina babies being beautiful and having nice pointy noses.
All true but even thought I have NEVER cheated in mh life and have NO desire to do so my Filipina wife always expects I will. I been accused of it and it can hurt but I know she is only scared to loose me which she never will. She is just perfect for me.
J.R. Paguia yep understand your opinion and I agree to some point. I did agree the first time it happened and lots of red flags popped up. But have you ever had a relationship with a Filipina? They are not like the local girls here in Australia. Now if she says it I dont worry no more like water of a ducks back. She is just testing me I feel. I just know this woman loves me more than I could imagine. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Rik & Lyn Bor Yes, I've had several relationships with Pinays, both foreign and domestic. :) I've learned to go over the ground rules early on and one of them is I don't buy and won't stand for the "I'm really jealous because I love you so much" routine. Women are jealous not out of love, they're jealous because they feel insecure.
mksrookies Maybe some lol but not Lyn. We are joined at the hip and barely spend more than 3 hrs apart ever. We work together from home and prefer nothing more than to be together. Evenin the few times we have been apart we stay in contact using the internet 24/7. We even keep our cameras on while we sleep. She used to wake me up if I fall asleep wrong so I would not be in pain the next day due to my spinal injuries. This is countries apart. She had 2 sons in Philippines one of whome is severely disabled. They are hete in Oz now as well as our 4 year old daughter. He requires full time care which is why we are always home.
Fun topic Dream Team. :) Idea for Michell TV- Go to the University and interview 5 or 10 attractive Philippinas and ask them if they would like to have a foreign boyfriend/husband who is 20+ years older than them and then ask them why.
Ned, the looks Michelle gives some times are priceless. You have a true winner with her. I really enjoyed this video and look forward to part 2. Thanks and have a great/safe holiday weekend.
Great video guys and great info for those who have not traveled to the Phil's or know little about it, thanks for all that you do, its great to see both of you guys on the couch again and talking to all of us.
Especially if you are a blue eyed blond...even though those physical traits to not readily transfer genetically. I remember a friend who was here for awhile. She was a blue eyed blond in her 40's. Many of the pregnant Filipinas wanted to rub her nose as if that would somehow mysteriously transfer the desired long nose" characteristics to their unborn child. As always money can't buy you love...BUT it can rent you a fine ass piece of arm candy, if that's your thing
Thank you for sharing your life and humor... "Be trained and be guided"..( The look on Mitchells face is priceless)...Mitchell never gets tongue-tied when she's mad at me HAAAA. Blessings to you both.Thank you for making me laugh, both of you are very funny.
That is very true, most people that are funny, have lived a life without a golden diaper or silver spoon. I know it's hard and a pain in the butt to come up with new content and keep your channel fresh, but whenever I'm stressed from work and life. I come on your channel and know I can always get a smile or laugh, from both of you. Thanks bro. stay a rebel
It works both ways. Old expat takes a young wife to take care of him, and him to take care of her and her extended family. If both of them are happy and pleasing each other, what' s the problem??
When I was in Asia, I remember being accused of being a butterfly, going from flower to flower, when, in fact, I had made NO commitment to any girl ... especially after only ONE date. To my western background, that seemed absurd.
why do i want to go to the Philippines hmm the girls are beautiful also they are family oriented yes they are looking for a man who is financially stable loyal loving and not going to chase tail ( i'm too old for that crap lol) so is a lot of girls in other countries not just the Philippines,,
Simon Whittaker Loyal, loving, not gonna chase tail....that all equates to easier to PW which ensure less dilution of the financially stable factor, thus enhancing the 4 Ms.
OMG,this is so much more then a two part series guys.I need to know more cause my girl says and thinks all these crazy things that just blows my mind sometimes.
I really like the candidness of the Philippine Dream; You and Michelle are adorable; I'm an African-American man who fell in love with a Filipinas; She never gives me the impression that my dark skin was less than a white person but I know just like every-other third world nation it's people have brought into commercially, that anything less than white is inferior; Well I still love her and her family and I hope that when I get there in January they accept me for who I am; and please let all your views know that Westerners are living longer;
Long before the Spanish came to the Philippines in the 1500's there has been already an intermarriage. It happened again in the early 1900's when the first wave of American military personnel that taught English: half of the 6000 who came ended up marrying local women. Having mixed children is nothing new, but is certainly still welcome in the family. Filipinos, in general, believe in the sanctity of marriage....that is the difference from the western world (perhaps similar to western culture a generation or two ago). The "MMMM" you mentioned is analogous to "the "Gold Digger" and "Sugar Daddy" in western culture, but is actually quite universal. Whiter skin is attractive due to the Colonial mentality in which the white westerners dominated a good portion of the world; but also, "opposites attract" ...people are naturally fascinated with something different.
It doesn't matter what race you are or where you are on this planet, women want security. That is the bottom line. And sad to say, most men in the Philippines are not financially secure. 2nd would be your lineage. And as you will notice, all statues of Jesus, Mary and other biblical people are colored white. They are not painted with a darker skin color. Filipinas view the white skin as a form of reverence. I don't view this point lightly. No pun intended. Whether it be conscious or unconsciously I feel that this is part of how they view us. Then to there's the "I want what I don't have." To be taller, to have lighter skin, etc. For them to have lighter skin is a prestigious check mark. Meaning they would not be viewed as simple workers who get darker and darker each day working out in the hot sun. The whiter they are, the more honorable they feel. This is their words, not mine. I've been going to the Philippines since 2010 & have asked lots of questions. So for example most umbrellas popped open during the daylight hours & no rain in sight is not because they can't tolerate the sun. It's that they want to be whiter. Ask Michelle, she will tell you. Filipinas will not just spirt out info. Sometimes U got 2 ask & ask until someone doesn't say, I don't know. They know, they just don't know how to put it in words that we understand.
Thanks for being as honest as you can be. Over the years I've had so many guys approach me with this Cinderella fantasy once upon a time attitude about Filipinos. But, as soon as I explained to them my point of view concerning a relationship with a Filipino. They seem to have a more realistic understanding of Filipinos and the Philippines.
you cannot generalize guys.. Michele saying very true that pinays just want foreigner because they want beauftiful children and because of money..not all pinays just wanna marry a foreigner because of that...if I did not meet my hhusband now...i would marry a foreigner not because of money but because I want to be loved. I am independent..can have my own money without depending to a man..find an educated filipina and she will disagree with that foreigner-husband-brings-beautiful- baby-idea..
I would say yes security, only a few are really rich expats A lot of them have tattoes and retired. Those with wives already work abroad and retiring really have a good life in the Philippines. Now a days 80% of actors and actresses in the Philippines are hybrid people. And they making millions of money . Most of them are half British, Americans ,Australians Spanish and others.Thats why I encourage my Canadian friend to have a baby here in Philippines. I would say 15% are super rich, 35 %are middle class and 50% are poor. That 90% are poor what Michelle said is not right.
Joseph Marco Michelle gave incorrect statistic percentage of poor people. A lot of Filipinos now a days either have relative works or lives overseas that sending money to their immediate family in the Philippines.
Love my new philippina wife I'm not young or nieve life is what it is be happy and enjoy my reality as it is in the here and now hope you continue to do the same Ned enjoy life your presently living it looks good from here
I don't like u/r comment nandorblue , u think that kind of harsh, I been married to a white guy since in the 70's up to now , we been together for 45 yrs. I'm from Cebu & my behalf is from Sheboygan, Wisconsin.We have 4 wonderful children the eldest is 45 yrs. old. the youngest is in her 30's , we never fights , my hubby is from a very poor family , me my family is in a medium class as I call , I meet my hubby in Olongapo City in the Vietnam war era, he just got out from the boatcamp w/two other guy and the Navy sent them back to the Philippines for shore duty as u call that they all got married to a pilipina and we are the best buddies of all times. They work at the ombudsmans office as a secretary they were in their teen's still, in short we meet them by our brother's work at the office as the Pilipino recruiter, my brother recruit pilipino's citizen to be a US NAVY that's how I meet my hubby by our brother's cause my bro think they r two young to wondering in town full of dirty work's my bro take them in our home for the weekend to do all kind of activities. That how I meet my hubby. And i'm so thankful to the heavenly Lord that he give him to me. Thank's so much for reading this pls. don't comment so harsh.
Elena Dicke Bravo to you Elana. As you can read, not all men are respectful of the women followers of this site. They either don't consider or don't care if what they write is offensive.
Elena Dicke Elena, you have the type of relationship that only decent, well balanced & intentioned individuals seek, pray & wish for. You & your husband are surely blessed to have one another. Whether Rich, middleclass or poor it shouldn't matter if you have the right mate, which you both obviously do :)
So true. :) Regarding the Chickboy stuff, all women, not just Pinays, should realize that the male species was not meant to be stuck with one female. Male genes was designed to procreate in order for the population to survive. Agree, disagree? Okay Michelle, you can punch me if you like. :)
In 1898, the US bought the Philippines from Spain $20 million. The Philippines was un der the US Commonwealth from 1898-1946 when the Philippines got its Independence. Yes....when expats go to any countries...the local women will be attracted to that foreigner. Same in the Philippines....Filipinas are attracted to foreigners....Japanese, Chinese, Europeans, Australians and black and white Americans. I mentioned black Americans because....some Filipinas don't care about the race or color of the skin. As long as they have the money...Filipinas will like them or fall in love with them (I hope). They are looking for financial stability first and hoping to go to the US or other countries as well. A lot of Filipinas here in my local area in the US are married to an older white American that they met online. As long as they are happy...then that is great!!
Melanio Corcino In other books you will also find out that the Philippines has been sold by the Spain to the US BECAUSE the Spain doesn't like to leave the Philippines for free! They already built alot all over the Philippines so they need to get paid for that and that $20M is the payment for what the Spaniards left in the Island. However, Aguinaldo even helped the American to fight against Spaniards. But the truth is the US played a game with the Filipinos. Philippines did not know anything about the set uo and this $20M in the beginning. My great great grand dad was an American soldier and he died in Samar. He told stories according to their actual experience. Sad to say, I read some books about this but sometimes I get frustrated to see how other books tell their biased stories. But its good that you take it up here. I love the English Stories around the World.☺👍👍👍
i see the fact a girl stays without real love with a much older guy who treates her well and she thinks is wealthy a good thing for both of them - as long as she doesn't tell him she loves him daily but makes his life a garden of eaden by sex and effection .- all this is agood thing the way i see it
I find it amazing that a beautiful people/culture would want to get rid of their gorgeous brown skin for white skin. I have nothing against white skin but most of them would probably freak out if they came to the US and saw how many people were trying to get rid of their white skin by tanning. This world is truly confused. Embrace who you are and your culture. It's a beautiful thing.
Philippine Dreams Very true. We all seem to want what we don't have ........funny how that works. Skin color, hair, eye color, ....the list goes on and on. Love the honesty in all your videos. Keep up the good job! Me and my Asawa have good conversations from your vids. :0)
Hello Ned and Michelle, it's nice to see you both. In my opinion western guys misunderstand the pinay/filipino culture, as a pinay myself I don't look on western people as a money machine/RICH. I know that what those guys makes are not even enough for their own bills, but if they bring their money to ASIAN countries like pinas it goes a long way bcoz of the currency exchange. It doesn't matter how much you make small or big bucks what matter is how you spend your money. You need to be contented for what you have not what you don't have. Remember: Everyone is different. So it all comes down on the mentality of the individuals... Keep up your good works Ned and Michelle. Be faithful to each other. GOD BLESS!
Hi - no wish to be personal but I simply cannot believe that Michell is with you for your money given the loving way she looks at you. Maybe you two are the exception to the rule!
Philippine Dreams Plus..... You have made Michelle and International TH-cam Celebrity. Which has to be kind of exciting when you get to think of it. Joking aside Ned, you come across as a genuine guy and we think Michelle is smart enough to recognise that.
nandorblue As someone married many years I can say that is both chauvinistic and bullshit. It maybe how you and your missus roll but to pretend that is the cultural is ridiculous.
Very funny about the " breeding stock ". I remember some old people say that it is very nice once a filipino married a different race particularly westerners, or even if it's a Spanish or Japanese , etc... expect that their soon to be kids are very, very beautiful. :)
Very interesting! Since I'm addicted to asia and mostly Thailand I've heard the same things about Thai ladies. The white skin is the most important one that you mentioned. I watched a youtube video about Cebu yesterday and it was mainly about the cities restaurants, streets, buildings and the ocean. But near the end they showed an older white man ( 72 years old) with a 24 year old girl. Why the youtuber went from showing Cebu to showing the age difference of a married couple is an indication of what people think we want to see. IT's great to see Michele smiling again. Thanks for the informative and funny video, can't wait for tomorrow's update. See you tomorrow.
I've never been. Only been to AC in 1989. Never been back. Well i stopped off at Manila on the way to Thailand but other than that I've not been to the PI since 89.
I lived in hagonoy bulacan I will go back I'm in california now but I'm determined to either bring wife over or if now me. go back home and stay for good.
Wow! More than a 1000 views in a day and many comments! You must have pulled a right string here. "Caucasian persuasion", I like the concept. Maybe because I just randomly happen to be one of those...
tims 2jz totally agree,,,,I watch the first time concentrating on Ned,,,then once more just to watch Michelle ....love her expressions and how she looks at Ned..
Philippine Dreams Then I don't feel bad then, we're in the same club. I too get the BOTH of those; the glares....and the eye rolls. More of the eye rolls. Especially when I am "preaching......again." LOL. Don't anyone ESPECIALLY FROM AMERICA be fooled, blending these two cultures is NOT for the weak. YOU WILL for sure see stars during the night but there are many mornings where you see the clouds forming too. :-/ And yet........if you watch a video NED has here about "STICKING IT OUT" IF she is the right Filipina and you are the right GUY (not playing games) you will have MANY BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS.............which will get you ready to see the stars again that night1 Whohooo.
Is the stat mentioned right? 90% are in poverty? That had to be an exageration right? When I go there for vacation, I see alot of the rich Filipinos with there huge houses. I mean, I've never google the %, but I'm just in shocked I guess.
keytrixz The government notes that only 27.9 percent fall beneath the poverty line - those are folks making about $1.09 USD a day. The government also reports unemployment of 6.5%. The vast majority of the population is poor and there is a stark contrast with income inequality - a few super rich compared to a lot of very poor.
Mostly true however the bit about Americans isn't always true just as it isn't always true about the filipinas just wanting money. But if you're a young filipina only after money then you'll attract those older guys who would be more likely to do the playboy life style trying to get a second wind or something.
mike sergeants Yes, but there are a number of requirements - check them out at www.taxesforexpats.com/articles/tax-rules/foreign-spouse-receiving-social-security-survivor-benefits.html
But if don't I just have to go back again and stay but I'll bring enough money to survive yea the pera extends. a lot you have enough to pay bills and. whatnot even to take to you're family to pasyal.yes I now know tagalog fluently.and some cebuano. too because of wife and family I'm also friends with. bud brown and one day I will buy a motorbike like his so anyway Filipinos are so influenced by negative vibes that's that what affects there judgement . of there well beign because of there situations but in all there very nice people. to be with and sinciere.
Love your videos.....yikes...i am 66,a young 66.recently I am on a dating site ,Chnlov,and met a young beautiful Filipino woman,she is 27,never married,no kids....I hope....but you guys got me worried. I do not mind they try to marry up financially....woman are by nature nest builders,and need a stable mate.I have been on this site 3 years.....and most are young woman after me...partly because most woman who are single are young....still I did not take serous any woman below 37....but they were few,and had kids....Eventually,I decided to at least read the free mail from younger women,and see if they were on the level,as far as I can see here thousands of miles away.It seemed most were sincere...and I drilled everyone with a battery of question,like why me,why not a younger guy etc etc,the answer is always ,I do not care about age,again they seem to me to be sincere...am I a fool? My intuition says no. they are on the level.She is suppose to meet me in La Palma,Canary Islands,she pays her own way.of course,I do not send any money,I am not that big of a fool.Neither has she asked.....in fact I asked her if she had enough money for the flight....she said she would be fine.So that was hopeful. but Ned your an older guy with a young Filipino so perhaps I missed your point? Any advice ,She is from Cebu,has a clothing shop,in a market,makes about 400 to 500 paso a month,and lives in a small apartment Thanks Stephen
Stephen Dufort Are you a fool? I dunno - I think most of us are at one point or another. :) She is paying for her own flight? That's a good sign, but how can she afford that when you said she is making 400-500 pesos a month?
She had the clothing shop and very cheap apartment,since she left school,which was like 7 years ago,Her parents are also living in Cebu,but she lives in another area in her own apartment....she has her own computer id=f that means anything,her father is a teacher,her mom is a stay at home mom.She only goes home on weekends,We will meet in September there,and we have been agreed to it for a month already,that gives her 3 months....total,I think she has some modest savings,but I will ask her straight up. In her profile,one of the things she answers,is she is good with money.Also,I found that scam girls,are constantly on chat.....luring men full time.In her case,she is only on chat,before bed,and only there for an hour,then again in the morning befor she goes to work...she walks to work a half hour everyday. In anycase,I am not sending her any money ,for any reason,nor has she ever asked,no presents,and her birthday is coming up,in a few days...I told her no presents...because this site gifts are ridiculously priced,I also said I have a rule...never send money to woman,I never met....I told her that,in the begining,I will try to find out more,from her...How did you meet your girl,who I like,she seems very good person to me.?
Stephen Dufort Please keep reporting out how things go...either way you are going to have an interesting experience. It is a very good sign that she is not asking for money.
OK ,I will. let you know what happens.... Some comments. Woman ,I think,do want a guy she can look up too,someone who is perhaps more mature ,more experienced in life,more stable,more mature,more emotionally mature then themselves if they can find a man like that.But not to be taught,not to be trained...good heavens! But a man such as described above,has these attractive assets,a guy who they can feel safe and secure in him. This is a plus,and older men embody these ATTRACTIVE qualities. But being trained bye them....never,that is definitely a myth,and as I said yesterday,I have no problem that woman are and should seek a guy with a stable income to make a life with.....I seriously doubt that most girls are seeking a rich guy just for money...they are the exception,the life are just wanting a stable, secure,life to build a safe nest...home for there future family.OK,i heard too,from woman all across Asia,thousands wrote me,and they all think westerners have pretty eyes,and they naturally l like a bigger man.I have nbeen told this over and over....hey,do I mind,I think its good for me as well as them,everybody is happy! I should say ,you two,inspired me,as well as Life beyond the Sea....watching you and Michelle,interact,and Enrico and Lynn...I hope that is his name at Life beyond the Sea,to try to look into the Philippines woman,because I like your interaction,and they Michelle and Lynn and the many other videos I have seen are very affectionate,simple living ...it appeals to me to find someone like that ,so your the reason I am here. Last question,when I want to send you an update....where do I post it? On one of your videos in the comment section? Or is that word and number I see at the top of your reply ,and address I can use to send my updates....not too good yet on computers still learning ,thanks Stephen
Stephen Dufort With a near 40 years age difference, bringing her back to states would be a relationship that would last until she is with green card...The girl will hook up with many Filipina here, learn a lot and time will not be on your side... Nightmare stories, especially in Florida.
Great topic. I am sure some subscribers may have had a few "aha" moments while watching this. How about a future video about the top ten signs your young Filipina wife wants you dead? Another helping of fatty pork she offered..................
Yes money plays a factor with men and woman even a rich older pinoy would be thought of about the same. The white factors are old and found in all parts of Asia. A person in the USA who is very tan well first thought he has lots of leisure time to spend in the sun or works outdoors. Yes the Pinoys seem to think different in small ways but the darker the skin in Asia in general mean less education and a working class job. They have liked pretty white babies since the Spanish times. Most of the American Expats i met living there that where married,seemed more faithful then the European men.. I was married and lived there and was faithful, so maybe many American have stronger religious beliefs on this matter, i am not sure but it say in God we trust on our money. I did always feel bad if i saw a American behave very badly I can not say the same for the single men of any nationality living there as there is so many beautiful woman. Woman as pretty on the inside as out you would need to be both blind and gay not to like these woman
+Philippine Dreams Yeah, i am talking married men, and American too, since Mitchell said what she said about Americans , I spoke on what i saw. I did have an American friend there who had a live in girl friend for over 12 years and yes he cheated. By far the Expects from like Germany which have more liberal views on sex as well as other your a peeing(European) country's where the men take cheated more. Again money plays it's part in that,Can not even count how many Filipino men i met that had a wife and a mistress. The problem i had with that was many had Children and these Children all suffered from these kind of actions. Saw many woman also break down when they learned of there husbands actions making them Buang babaye. I am more afraid of a crazy woman than buang lalaki. Keep the dream alive. Wish you both the best
steve o He he he he😂😂😂💖 I am having fun reading all the post here! You are talking visaya! Murag tinuud jud ni! People search if they are not fulfilled. My husband works with Filipino men for more than 40 yrs. he knew filipino men more than I do. He said exactly what you said. They often have side dishes! I can't believe it. Men or women seems the same. But I think it only differs on values. I worked with these kind of people in the US, Europe and Asia. When they talk with their partner in the Philippines over the phone his/her other extra is standing just beside him/her. How on earth these people can stand on that😞
I think most of what you discussed is true. But there are just as many Filipinas that I know personally, who've been unfaithful also....?mmm reminds me I got to change this profile icon picture!!! As in most cultures, women are always looking out for the BBD....watch The Mask if you need to know what the BBD is.
Dobiedoo2 It has always been a two way street when it comes to foreigners & Filipinas. You have the Good & bad in every country. You just have to weed out all the bad apples on both sides.
Money talks in ANY culture. There are lots of attractive Pinoys in PI. Maybe, if there're enough of these rich (and guapo) guys in the neighborhood, Michelle's friends don't have to look for "Western men". Just saying...
Since Filipinas are women... I think they like having a bigger "Shoe budget" not that they ever need that. LOL Sorry Michell you can hit me if we meet ...you/Ned. :)
Scott Warren I don't agree with that at all. I know more than a few deadbeats who have returned to the states leaving their kids behind with no support.
"Breeding Stock"! Since I have blond hair and blue eyes, can I charge a "stud fee" when I move to the Philippines? Just kidding. Interesting video. Keep up the the good work!
Michel has to be incorrect that most Americans in a serious relationship with a Filipina are cheating on them. There is a major difference between how an American treats Filipinas versus how Filipinos treat them (whole separate families not just women!)
Scott Warren Again Warren, I have to take exception to that. I have seen a number of Westerners treat their better halves pretty badly, utilizing financial leverage to get away with a number of behaviors that they wouldn't be able to get away with back "home."
Are we talking about majorities or minorities. If the majority behave that way, then it says a lot about the type of men that go to Philippines. I doubt it's the majority.
Don't forget to mention the social class structure. A white foreigner will less reluctantly marry into a poor Filipino family than his wealthy Filipino counterpart.
I think there is no single reason and different pinay have different reasons from wanting a guy who has some security and maturity...oh, why not ask them and stop guessing. Which you did, in part, need more pinay input.
Philippine Dreams I am going on what you and Michelle said in the first video. I have heard that thing about light skin appeal from other Filipinas. But to tell you the thruth in the two years that I visited the Philippines in the mid 80s I never did notice any particular dislike of black people. ActuallY I felt more at home and welcome then I did in most places in the Stated.
IN UK the same when i was boss ( power money) i attracted female employees ( Like Alfa Male Lion only one with the lionesness's / girls worked well 1970 till 2000 >>> then i moved east .. its same but more choice secret employeee the Filipino girls day salary.. 250 / 450 a day PLUS your the boss ( warn them never ask 4 loan money u get fired ) chinese ask 4 more work Filipino need ask LOAN / Money LIKE THAI's need money buffalo sick LOL
Heeeeyyy. I lived there I'm called. a pensionado.were baby makers over there I'm not white I'm. Latino and so therefore. also if they're. after you're money look around. you when you there corruption. there is bad . And mostly the stigma is it that over there. is. if you're handsome. you make it if you're tall and. a if you're a woman. you have to be. ganda. beautiful and other.things and when I lived there I would help my family.there right now my wife. is a barangay.health worker she's a volunteer I'm so desperate in bringing.her over.that I'm doing the impossible looking for 4 jobs if needed because the needs are many .
Long nose, white skin and blue eyes. Breeding stock ya.my wife denys its money, but I don't believe her. Says I'm kind but because of money I think. Says she is not scared when I'm with her because I can protect her. That would be because I'm bigger than Filipinos I suppose. Mostly because I'm loyal to her she says. I'm old, she's attractive and young, why spoil a good thing?
Well Ned,,money is definatly the advantage there...but who cares about money?how does she treat you...?and how do they know we are about to die?haha,,,dont you leave me Ned hehe..id take one good year with a filipina over twenty years of a miserble western women,,p.s they all gone crazy haha,,loco
american old men whom are very poor in the united states of america ( living on their S.S. income which is generally way below the poverty level incomes here in the USA ) and now NOW? They are rich living in the Philippines with a young women wife! That`s some crazy shit right ned? LOL I love your show because it is so realistically honest LMAO on the breeding stock white men..LOL
***** From that angle, it is abundantly clear that they score because the bar is set much lower there....having millions of sweet young things living in poverty make it like shooting the proverbial fish in the barrel. :)
***** Indeed. And good for them...as it can often be a win/win situation (long term or short term). After all, everyone does have the right to the pursuit of happiness. Happy fourth.
I miss her...honesty and her....hope is doing well. and of course Ned.
I will most likely break all the stereotypes.....as I am a female who married a Filipino. We both met in the States.... We've been married now for 27 years.
It all comes down to women wanting a stable future and money, and men wanting beautiful women. No matter where you are in this world that's what it's about. And in the Philippines, $1k allowance a month puts you in the "stable with money" category, which means comfort and beautiful women (plural). In the U.S., it puts you in the poverty category, which means Ramen noodles and your laptop.
Where else can you go from poor with no women, to a place where you're rich with beautiful little Asians practically begging for your seed?
Only in the Philippines....
That's enough
mksrookies Good luck then..
This is what is referred to as the 4 D's of foreigners; 'R'ich, 'R'etired, 'R'eady to die, and I changed the 4th one to 'R'etarded...lol
I married a Filipina who I met while she was working in Hong Kong (there are LOTS of them there). I can't say there was any of that dynamic as you describe going on. She is very ambitious and was looking to meet people from around the world because she knew she couldn't settle for the barefoot and pregnant life back home. I talked to her for several years via e-mail, chat, phone conversations, texting, etc, before I went to HK to meet her in person. Then several more trips to visit her...I asked her to marry me. She made me wait a while, but she said yes. We've been married eleven years now:) Through it all it all our courtship was very genuine. I never got the idea she was attracted to me because I was white, or from the U.S. She sure hasn't taken advantage in the least, but has accomplished a great deal on her own since she's been here. That's my story...
Thanks for sharing sir
Yours is a rare story...
I miss these two people together. Good luck to both. I will always remember meeting you briefly by mistake when you showed up at our place looking for house.
Henry & Ned still the best and true kings of this genre.
:-)
Philippine Dreams offers the most realistic perspective ever - lol. Thanks for being so authentic.
Ned, you are dead on with you list of allures, especially the first one you discussed about the "walking ATM". I'm glad to hear that Michelle confirmed it's true, because I've also done a video on why beautiful Filipinas love older westerners... and spoiler alert: "Financial Motives" was the main answer. My video has actually been gaining a lot of traction, because the opinion is coming from myself, who is a younger westerner (30 years old) with a young Filipina (25 years old), which as you know, is not as common. Many of the older westerners would disagree with my thinking (not too surprising), but a lot actually hear where I'm coming from.
I didn't discuss this in my video, but I'm glad you brought up that it's often a "perceived wealth". Like you mentioned, many of these older westerners are living in the Philippines off of a small pension. Little do the Filipinas know, that back in their own country, these men would be considered BROKE! haha. It's really all about perspective. Thanks for your video!
Sezstyle your true,, my fellow filipina doesn't know about this things, mostly what think if they saw a foreigners they earn a lot of money. But they never think actually that this foreigners running away from thier own country bec, they can't afford the life style in thier country. For me it doesn't matter who he is or what ever he is, as long he has a good heart,.
rona rona I like what you said about "foreigners running away from their own country". That's a nice way of explaining it :)
rona rona LOL - there is a saying: "Are you in the Philippines because you actually like it or it is just because you can't afford to leave?" Thanks, Rona. :)
SezStyle I think a good number of guys actually recognize that their lovely young Filipina is with them partly (more or less) for the financial security that it brings. Thanks Sez.
Philippine Dreams Agreed! And I think as long as this is recognized up-front, than it should hopefully prevent "some" of the relationship issues down the road. Or at least I would like to think this... but every case is different ;)
When it comes to money, I think there is a big misconception about that in reference to filipinas. In the west (USA) and other foreign countries, the cultural concept has become that woman should be self sufficient and able to take care of themselves even if they get married. I believe that it is the responsibility of all husbands to take care of their family, wife and kids, financially. A woman who is looking for a husband should consider whether that man can financially take care of them, i.e., wife and kids. Just because a filipina is looking for a man who can financially support her does not mean she is scamming him or only interested with him because of money. She is doing what i think all woman everywhere are doing when it comes to a husband. If she is gonna have kids with him or has kids already and will spend her time to raise and teach and discipline the kids and take care of him and the family, then she has every right to consider whether he can financially support her in that process. I think the most horrific thing a woman can do is to have a baby and then throw that baby to a babysitter and go off to work in order to have their needs met. And then only see the children at night time or on weekends only and expect that child to grow up healthy and sane. Children learn by their parents example of love, caring, compassion, discipline, how husband and wives are to each other and interact. I think the maternal instincts of a woman is to take care of and raise children and take care of her husband while he works and supports the family. I call that companionship and working together for the best of the family. So if a woman looks for a man that can financially support her and the kids, i think that is normal and not scamming.
'Younger philipina do wont to contribute to house hold income they wont there own money in general it takes two income in west. Gone are the days she stays home with children some lose self worth doing that regret putting there life on hold. I wont my own money my own checking account. They question there self worth then leave you especially if you did not wont her to work.
I just spent fifteen days over there with someone from Aurora in Mindanao, got back just last night. We actually had that discussion about American/Filipina babies being beautiful and having nice pointy noses.
Kano Daily There's truth to that...
Never gets tongue tied when she's mad, LOL that's priceless.
You guys are so cute together. So happy for you.
All true but even thought I have NEVER cheated in mh life and have NO desire to do so my Filipina wife always expects I will. I been accused of it and it can hurt but I know she is only scared to loose me which she never will. She is just perfect for me.
Rik & Lyn Bor From my experience, Pinay or not, false accusations of infidelity is always a red flag.
J.R. Paguia yep understand your opinion and I agree to some point. I did agree the first time it happened and lots of red flags popped up. But have you ever had a relationship with a Filipina? They are not like the local girls here in Australia. Now if she says it I dont worry no more like water of a ducks back. She is just testing me I feel. I just know this woman loves me more than I could imagine. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Rik & Lyn Bor Yes, I've had several relationships with Pinays, both foreign and domestic. :)
I've learned to go over the ground rules early on and one of them is I don't buy and won't stand for the "I'm really jealous because I love you so much" routine. Women are jealous not out of love, they're jealous because they feel insecure.
mksrookies Maybe some lol but not Lyn. We are joined at the hip and barely spend more than 3 hrs apart ever. We work together from home and prefer nothing more than to be together. Evenin the few times we have been apart we stay in contact using the internet 24/7. We even keep our cameras on while we sleep. She used to wake me up if I fall asleep wrong so I would not be in pain the next day due to my spinal injuries. This is countries apart. She had 2 sons in Philippines one of whome is severely disabled. They are hete in Oz now as well as our 4 year old daughter.
He requires full time care which is why we are always home.
Steve S Yuuup...tampo is ok as long as no false and unfounded accusations are made.
Great job Ned and Michelle. This topic is one that has been begging to be addressed.
mysticonthehill Salamat po!
Fun topic Dream Team. :)
Idea for Michell TV- Go to the University and interview 5 or 10 attractive Philippinas and ask them if they would like to have a foreign boyfriend/husband who is 20+ years older than them and then ask them why.
Ned, the looks Michelle gives some times are priceless. You have a true winner with her. I really enjoyed this video and look forward to part 2. Thanks and have a great/safe holiday weekend.
David Cogburn Thank you, David.
Great video guys and great info for those who have not traveled to the Phil's or know little about it, thanks for all that you do, its great to see both of you guys on the couch again and talking to all of us.
Philo M It's good to be back. Thanks, Philo!
Lots of good points addressed and I concur. Can't wait to see part 2
Airagon Ranger Thanks, Sir Airagon. :)
Thank you Ned for truth and your direct yet casual style.
Especially if you are a blue eyed blond...even though those physical traits to not readily transfer genetically. I remember a friend who was here for awhile. She was a blue eyed blond in her 40's. Many of the pregnant Filipinas wanted to rub her nose as if that would somehow mysteriously transfer the desired long nose" characteristics to their unborn child.
As always money can't buy you love...BUT it can rent you a fine ass piece of arm candy, if that's your thing
Bushman Canuck OoOOoOo SMEXY !!
Aprille Shepherd lol, I better delete that
No need to delete. That's his opinion. But that's just not what everybody agrees on. It's always good to have diverse views.
rawdonut Agreed, I just made a dumb comment on my "assets' with no money but still got the honey!
hehehe
Thank you for sharing your life and humor... "Be trained and be guided"..( The look on Mitchells face is priceless)...Mitchell never gets tongue-tied when she's mad at me HAAAA. Blessings to you both.Thank you for making me laugh, both of you are very funny.
Mike William Ha - comedy is based on tragedy, right? :)
That is very true, most people that are funny, have lived a life without a golden diaper or silver spoon. I know it's hard and a pain in the butt to come up with new content and keep your channel fresh, but whenever I'm stressed from work and life. I come on your channel and know I can always get a smile or laugh, from both of you. Thanks bro. stay a rebel
It works both ways. Old expat takes a young wife to take care of him, and him to take care of her and her extended family. If both of them are happy and pleasing each other, what' s the problem??
Island Paradise Doesn't seem to be one from where I am standing. But some folks seem to take issue with it. Live and let live, I always say...
Awesome video. My Filipina has told me about all of these things since we have been together. Thanks for your Honesty.
Your command of the English language is very impressive! Great videos.Thank you!
When I was in Asia, I remember being accused of being a butterfly, going from flower to flower, when, in fact, I had made NO commitment to any girl ... especially after only ONE date. To my western background, that seemed absurd.
Stay Single and Be Happy and Free.
why do i want to go to the Philippines hmm the girls are beautiful also they are family oriented yes they are looking for a man who is financially stable loyal loving and not going to chase tail ( i'm too old for that crap lol) so is a lot of girls in other countries not just the Philippines,,
nandorblue I can't imagine a worse situtation, then it's 100% better not to be in a relationship with someone.
globe255 She's just biding her time. When old Wolfgang keels over, she'll get her reward. LOL
Simon Whittaker Loyal, loving, not gonna chase tail....that all equates to easier to PW which ensure less dilution of the financially stable factor, thus enhancing the 4 Ms.
nandorblue im glad im not german lol i did leave a few things out of my comment,, but yes for a relationship to work you need lots more than money
***** so..it's back to first base; Matandang Mayaman, Madaling Mamatay..
OMG,this is so much more then a two part series guys.I need to know more cause my girl says and thinks all these crazy things that just blows my mind sometimes.
teclife4 We might have to do three parts.....
Philippine Dreams Hopefully three or four !!!
I really like the candidness of the Philippine Dream; You and Michelle are adorable; I'm an African-American man who fell in love with a Filipinas; She never gives me the impression that my dark skin was less than a white person but I know just like every-other third world nation it's people have brought into commercially, that anything less than white is inferior; Well I still love her and her family and I hope that when I get there in January they accept me for who I am; and please let all your views know that Westerners are living longer;
You two are great! Love your video's thank you so much.
Long before the Spanish came to the Philippines in the 1500's there has been already an intermarriage. It happened again in the early 1900's when the first wave of American military personnel that taught English: half of the 6000 who came ended up marrying local women. Having mixed children is nothing new, but is certainly still welcome in the family. Filipinos, in general, believe in the sanctity of marriage....that is the difference from the western world (perhaps similar to western culture a generation or two ago). The "MMMM" you mentioned is analogous to "the "Gold Digger" and "Sugar Daddy" in western culture, but is actually quite universal. Whiter skin is attractive due to the Colonial mentality in which the white westerners dominated a good portion of the world; but also, "opposites attract" ...people are naturally fascinated with something different.
Sandra Kantor They believe in it but only half abide by it.
Sandra Kantor Amen. That's the sweetest, truest, most accurate explanation to all the topic mentioned here!!! Way to go Sandra...)
This is exactly the true reason. Exactly right!
May i ask anyone here, why we dont heaf pinoy marrying a an american white or black chick ? Is the size important? Common pinoys show your power😅
Love your videos....covering a wide variety of topics
It doesn't matter what race you are or where you are on this planet, women want security. That is the bottom line. And sad to say, most men in the Philippines are not financially secure. 2nd would be your lineage. And as you will notice, all statues of Jesus, Mary and other biblical people are colored white. They are not painted with a darker skin color. Filipinas view the white skin as a form of reverence. I don't view this point lightly. No pun intended. Whether it be conscious or unconsciously I feel that this is part of how they view us. Then to there's the "I want what I don't have." To be taller, to have lighter skin, etc. For them to have lighter skin is a prestigious check mark. Meaning they would not be viewed as simple workers who get darker and darker each day working out in the hot sun. The whiter they are, the more honorable they feel. This is their words, not mine. I've been going to the Philippines since 2010 & have asked lots of questions. So for example most umbrellas popped open during the daylight hours & no rain in sight is not because they can't tolerate the sun. It's that they want to be whiter. Ask Michelle, she will tell you. Filipinas will not just spirt out info. Sometimes U got 2 ask & ask until someone doesn't say, I don't know. They know, they just don't know how to put it in words that we understand.
Thanks for being as honest as you can be. Over the years I've had so many guys approach me with this Cinderella fantasy once upon a time attitude about Filipinos. But, as soon as I explained to them my point of view concerning a relationship with a Filipino. They seem to have a more realistic understanding of Filipinos and the Philippines.
Carlos Zachery Seperating the "Dream" from the reality can be an onerous task at times.... :)
So true! Keep up the good work.
you cannot generalize guys.. Michele saying very true that pinays just want foreigner because they want beauftiful children and because of money..not all pinays just wanna marry a foreigner because of that...if I did not meet my hhusband now...i would marry a foreigner not because of money but because I want to be loved. I am independent..can have my own money without depending to a man..find an educated filipina and she will disagree with that foreigner-husband-brings-beautiful- baby-idea..
100% true and Well said
I would say yes security, only a few are really rich expats A lot of them have tattoes and retired. Those with wives already work abroad and retiring really have a good life in the Philippines. Now a days 80% of actors and actresses in the Philippines are hybrid people. And they making millions of money . Most of them are half British, Americans ,Australians Spanish and others.Thats why I encourage my Canadian friend to have a baby here in Philippines. I would say 15% are super rich, 35 %are middle class and 50% are poor. That 90% are poor what Michelle said is not right.
Joseph Marco Michelle gave incorrect statistic percentage of poor people. A lot of Filipinos now a days either have relative works or lives overseas that sending money to their immediate family in the Philippines.
Yup, 90% is way not true.
Liked that. rings true to my ears also
Love my new philippina wife I'm not young or nieve life is what it is be happy and enjoy my reality as it is in the here and now hope you continue to do the same Ned enjoy life your presently living it looks good from here
Harold Bowers Now that summer is gone, it IS good. I was hating May and most of June, though......
I don't like u/r comment nandorblue , u think that kind of harsh, I been married to a white guy since in the 70's up to now , we been together for 45 yrs. I'm from Cebu & my behalf is from Sheboygan, Wisconsin.We have 4 wonderful children the eldest is 45 yrs. old. the youngest is in her 30's , we never fights , my hubby is from a very poor family , me my family is in a medium class as I call , I meet my hubby in Olongapo City
in the Vietnam war era, he just got out from the boatcamp w/two other guy and the Navy sent them back to the Philippines for shore duty as u call that they all got married to a pilipina and we are the best buddies of all times. They work at the ombudsmans office as a secretary they were in their teen's still, in short we meet them by our brother's work at the office as the Pilipino recruiter, my brother recruit pilipino's citizen to be a US NAVY that's how I meet my hubby by our brother's cause my bro think they r two young to wondering in town full of dirty work's my bro take them in our home for the weekend to do all kind of activities. That how I meet my hubby. And i'm so thankful to the heavenly Lord that he give him to me. Thank's so much for reading this pls. don't comment so harsh.
Elena Dicke Bravo to you Elana. As you can read, not all men are respectful of the women followers of this site. They either don't consider or don't care if what they write is offensive.
Elena Dicke Thanks for sharing that, Elena!
Elena Dicke Elena, you have the type of relationship that only decent, well balanced & intentioned individuals seek, pray & wish for. You & your husband are surely blessed to have one another. Whether Rich, middleclass or poor it shouldn't matter if you have the right mate, which you both obviously do :)
Elena Dicke I never can get enough of these sort of stories. Thank you for sharing yours Elena. Bless you both.
cutecat that's where I'm from sheboygan wis. oostburg actually lol
So true. :) Regarding the Chickboy stuff, all women, not just Pinays, should realize that the male species was not meant to be stuck with one female. Male genes was designed to procreate in order for the population to survive. Agree, disagree? Okay Michelle, you can punch me if you like. :)
Kuya Darius Do the math...millions of sperm daily vs. one egg monthly.
J.R. Paguia It takes millions since most of the swim the Butterfly.... Some even elevate themselves to a helicopter.
Jason Wilson I prefer the breaststroke. Giggity.
J.R. Paguia Oh yes everyone's favorite. . It just may be smaller than the mosquito team swimming in the Olympics...
In 1898, the US bought the Philippines from Spain $20 million. The Philippines was un der the US Commonwealth from 1898-1946 when the Philippines got its Independence. Yes....when expats go to any countries...the local women will be attracted to that foreigner. Same in the Philippines....Filipinas are attracted to foreigners....Japanese, Chinese, Europeans, Australians and black and white Americans. I mentioned black Americans because....some Filipinas don't care about the race or color of the skin. As long as they have the money...Filipinas will like them or fall in love with them (I hope). They are looking for financial stability first and hoping to go to the US or other countries as well. A lot of Filipinas here in my local area in the US are married to an older white American that they met online. As long as they are happy...then that is great!!
Melanio Corcino In other books you will also find out that the Philippines has been sold by the Spain to the US BECAUSE the Spain doesn't like to leave the Philippines for free! They already built alot all over the Philippines so they need to get paid for that and that $20M is the payment for what the Spaniards left in the Island. However, Aguinaldo even helped the American to fight against Spaniards. But the truth is the US played a game with the Filipinos. Philippines did not know anything about the set uo and this $20M in the beginning. My great great grand dad was an American soldier and he died in Samar. He told stories according to their actual experience. Sad to say, I read some books about this but sometimes I get frustrated to see how other books tell their biased stories.
But its good that you take it up here. I love the English Stories around the World.☺👍👍👍
i see the fact a girl stays without real love with a much older guy who treates her well and she thinks is wealthy a good thing for both of them - as long as she doesn't tell him she loves him daily but makes his life a garden of eaden by sex and effection .- all this is agood thing the way i see it
I find it amazing that a beautiful people/culture would want to get rid of their gorgeous brown skin for white skin. I have nothing against white skin but most of them would probably freak out if they came to the US and saw how many people were trying to get rid of their white skin by tanning. This world is truly confused. Embrace who you are and your culture. It's a beautiful thing.
Ace I guess it's all a matter of perspective. Cultural pressure seems to play out on all sides of the equation.
Philippine Dreams Very true. We all seem to want what we don't have ........funny how that works. Skin color, hair, eye color, ....the list goes on and on. Love the honesty in all your videos. Keep up the good job! Me and my Asawa have good conversations from your vids. :0)
Good points Ned. Great video can't wait to see part 2.
Tommy Vinson Thanks Tom. We will put it up later today.
Yeah it interesting
Hello Ned and Michelle, it's nice to see you both. In my opinion western guys misunderstand the pinay/filipino culture, as a pinay myself I don't look on western people as a money machine/RICH. I know that what those guys makes are not even enough for their own bills, but if they bring their money to ASIAN countries like pinas it goes a long way bcoz of the currency exchange. It doesn't matter how much you make small or big bucks what matter is how you spend your money. You need to be contented for what you have not what you don't have.
Remember: Everyone is different. So it all comes down on the mentality of the individuals...
Keep up your good works Ned and Michelle. Be faithful to each other. GOD BLESS!
Maria Lambingan Thanks, Maria. And you are right - everyone's relationship is different - we are just looking at some generalizations here.
everyone loves what seems rare !! the way i love darker ladies and know kid coming out og prernts from different origin are usually nore beutiful .
Hi - no wish to be personal but I simply cannot believe that Michell is with you for your money given the loving way she looks at you. Maybe you two are the exception to the rule!
Phillip Birt I've seem that to Phil is is rather nice to see
Phillip Birt She just digs bald dudes.....
Philippine Dreams Plus..... You have made Michelle and International TH-cam Celebrity. Which has to be kind of exciting when you get to think of it. Joking aside Ned, you come across as a genuine guy and we think Michelle is smart enough to recognise that.
nandorblue I'll get right to work on that training and update ya along the way.
nandorblue As someone married many years I can say that is both chauvinistic and bullshit. It maybe how you and your missus roll but to pretend that is the cultural is ridiculous.
Very funny about the " breeding stock ". I remember some old people say that it is very nice once a filipino married a different race particularly westerners, or even if it's a Spanish or Japanese , etc... expect that their soon to be kids are very, very beautiful. :)
being rich or being poor is very relatively . yes one can be quite poor in US and wealthy in PH so that's a true belif among Philippins .
it is so cute to watch her laugh,ATM, white babies,too funny, can you really train them?
barry graham Train them? Nope. Seems at times, the opposite might be true, however.... :)
Philippine Dreams
thought so good luck Ned
My wife said she loves me because I have a round head
Steven White LOL - I will have to add that one to the list!
How nice...ha ha good for you. 😂😂😂✌
Very interesting! Since I'm addicted to asia and mostly Thailand I've heard the same things about Thai ladies. The white skin is the most important one that you mentioned. I watched a youtube video about Cebu yesterday and it was mainly about the cities restaurants, streets, buildings and the ocean. But near the end they showed an older white man ( 72 years old) with a 24 year old girl. Why the youtuber went from showing Cebu to showing the age difference of a married couple is an indication of what people think we want to see.
IT's great to see Michele smiling again. Thanks for the informative and funny video, can't wait for tomorrow's update.
See you tomorrow.
Lek Buzzy Because saying that you go to Cebu for the restaurants, streets and beaches only is like saying you only read Playboy for the articles.
Hi J.R., I see your point.
J.R. Paguia Yeah, I am not a big fan of Cebu. Just too frikken big......
I've never been. Only been to AC in 1989. Never been back. Well i stopped off at Manila on the way to Thailand but other than that I've not been to the PI since 89.
Good topics, thanks for the video ☺
matt Hajas Thanks again for watching, Matt.
I lived in hagonoy bulacan I will go back I'm in california now but I'm determined to either bring wife over or if now me. go back home and stay for good.
Wow! More than a 1000 views in a day and many comments! You must have pulled a right string here. "Caucasian persuasion", I like the concept. Maybe because I just randomly happen to be one of those...
Love watching your videos, the facial expressions are priceless :)
Definitely expression are priceless. .
tims 2jz totally agree,,,,I watch the first time concentrating on Ned,,,then once more just to watch Michelle ....love her expressions and how she looks at Ned..
jim lawless In real life I get mostly glares and eye rolls....
Philippine Dreams Then I don't feel bad then, we're in the same club. I too get the BOTH of those; the glares....and the eye rolls. More of the eye rolls. Especially when I am "preaching......again." LOL. Don't anyone ESPECIALLY FROM AMERICA be fooled, blending these two cultures is NOT for the weak. YOU WILL for sure see stars during the night but there are many mornings where you see the clouds forming too. :-/ And yet........if you watch a video NED has here about "STICKING IT OUT" IF she is the right Filipina and you are the right GUY (not playing games) you will have MANY BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS.............which will get you ready to see the stars again that night1 Whohooo.
Is the stat mentioned right? 90% are in poverty?
That had to be an exageration right?
When I go there for vacation, I see alot of the rich Filipinos with there huge houses.
I mean, I've never google the %, but I'm just in shocked I guess.
keytrixz The government notes that only 27.9 percent fall beneath the poverty line - those are folks making about $1.09 USD a day. The government also reports unemployment of 6.5%. The vast majority of the population is poor and there is a stark contrast with income inequality - a few super rich compared to a lot of very poor.
Mostly true however the bit about Americans isn't always true just as it isn't always true about the filipinas just wanting money. But if you're a young filipina only after money then you'll attract those older guys who would be more likely to do the playboy life style trying to get a second wind or something.
Johncare your comment was funny as hell im rofl, lmao buffalo sick lol
Wants to come to America or Europe for greener pastures and bring parents and siblings.
Master Joey Who wouldn't. Our pizza is a lot better.

pasyal.yes I now know tagalog fluently.and some cebuano. too because of wife and family I'm also friends with. bud brown and one day I will buy a motorbike like his
so anyway Filipinos are so influenced by negative vibes that's that what affects there judgement . of there well beign because of there situations but in all there very nice people. to be with and sinciere.

David Hall :)
Thanks for the info. looking forward to tomorrows clip....well its confirmed now....I am a stud lmao :)
Trucker USA We're so gwapo!! ;)
Love your videos.....yikes...i am 66,a young 66.recently I am on a dating site ,Chnlov,and met a young beautiful Filipino woman,she is 27,never married,no kids....I hope....but you guys got me worried. I do not mind they try to marry up financially....woman are by nature nest builders,and need a stable mate.I have been on this site 3 years.....and most are young woman after me...partly because most woman who are single are young....still I did not take serous any woman below 37....but they were few,and had kids....Eventually,I decided to at least read the free mail from younger women,and see if they were on the level,as far as I can see here thousands of miles away.It seemed most were sincere...and I drilled everyone with a battery of question,like why me,why not a younger guy etc etc,the answer is always ,I do not care about age,again they seem to me to be sincere...am I a fool? My intuition says no. they are on the level.She is suppose to meet me in La Palma,Canary Islands,she pays her own way.of course,I do not send any money,I am not that big of a fool.Neither has she asked.....in fact I asked her if she had enough money for the flight....she said she would be fine.So that was hopeful. but Ned your an older guy with a young Filipino so perhaps I missed your point? Any advice ,She is from Cebu,has a clothing shop,in a market,makes about 400 to 500 paso a month,and lives in a small apartment Thanks Stephen
Stephen Dufort Are you a fool? I dunno - I think most of us are at one point or another. :) She is paying for her own flight? That's a good sign, but how can she afford that when you said she is making 400-500 pesos a month?
She had the clothing shop and very cheap apartment,since she left school,which was like 7 years ago,Her parents are also living in Cebu,but she lives in another area in her own apartment....she has her own computer id=f that means anything,her father is a teacher,her mom is a stay at home mom.She only goes home on weekends,We will meet in September there,and we have been agreed to it for a month already,that gives her 3 months....total,I think she has some modest savings,but I will ask her straight up. In her profile,one of the things she answers,is she is good with money.Also,I found that scam girls,are constantly on chat.....luring men full time.In her case,she is only on chat,before bed,and only there for an hour,then again in the morning befor she goes to work...she walks to work a half hour everyday. In anycase,I am not sending her any money ,for any reason,nor has she ever asked,no presents,and her birthday is coming up,in a few days...I told her no presents...because this site gifts are ridiculously priced,I also said I have a rule...never send money to woman,I never met....I told her that,in the begining,I will try to find out more,from her...How did you meet your girl,who I like,she seems very good person to me.?
Stephen Dufort Please keep reporting out how things go...either way you are going to have an interesting experience. It is a very good sign that she is not asking for money.
OK ,I will. let you know what happens.... Some comments. Woman ,I think,do want a guy she can look up too,someone who is perhaps more mature ,more experienced in life,more stable,more mature,more emotionally mature then themselves if they can find a man like that.But not to be taught,not to be trained...good heavens! But a man such as described above,has these attractive assets,a guy who they can feel safe and secure in him. This is a plus,and older men embody these ATTRACTIVE qualities. But being trained bye them....never,that is definitely a myth,and as I said yesterday,I have no problem that woman are and should seek a guy with a stable income to make a life with.....I seriously doubt that most girls are seeking a rich guy just for money...they are the exception,the life are just wanting a stable, secure,life to build a safe nest...home for there future family.OK,i heard too,from woman all across Asia,thousands wrote me,and they all think westerners have pretty eyes,and they naturally l like a bigger man.I have nbeen told this over and over....hey,do I mind,I think its good for me as well as them,everybody is happy!
I should say ,you two,inspired me,as well as Life beyond the Sea....watching you and Michelle,interact,and Enrico and Lynn...I hope that is his name at Life beyond the Sea,to try to look into the Philippines woman,because I like your interaction,and they Michelle and Lynn and the many other videos I have seen are very affectionate,simple living ...it appeals to me to find someone like that ,so your the reason I am here.
Last question,when I want to send you an update....where do I post it? On one of your videos in the comment section? Or is that word and number I see at the top of your reply ,and address I can use to send my updates....not too good yet on computers still learning ,thanks Stephen
Stephen Dufort With a near 40 years age difference, bringing her back to states would be a relationship that would last until she is with green card...The girl will hook up with many Filipina here, learn a lot and time will not be on your side... Nightmare stories, especially in Florida.
Great topic. I am sure some subscribers may have had a few "aha" moments while watching this. How about a future video about the top ten signs your young Filipina wife wants you dead? Another helping of fatty pork she offered..................
***** Ummmmmm......I dunno about that one....
Can't let those silences go on for too long when the topic of infidelity comes up! :D
Sadly, true but not to all.
under any situation. Ned ' it will be not smare to have another girl as long as wonderfull Michell is with you .
Dor2177178 Well, I am pretty much a one gal guy, so that hasn't even been a concern. And I wouldn't risk what I have for anything!
Yes money plays a factor with men and woman even a rich older pinoy would be thought of about the same.
The white factors are old and found in all parts of Asia.
A person in the USA who is very tan well first thought he has lots of leisure time to spend in the sun or works outdoors.
Yes the Pinoys seem to think different in small ways but the darker the skin in Asia in general mean less education and a working class job.
They have liked pretty white babies since the Spanish times.
Most of the American Expats i met living there that where married,seemed more faithful then the European men..
I was married and lived there and was faithful, so maybe many American have stronger religious beliefs on this matter, i am not sure but it say in God we trust on our money.
I did always feel bad if i saw a American behave very badly
I can not say the same for the single men of any nationality living there as there is so many beautiful woman.
Woman as pretty on the inside as out you would need to be both blind and gay not to like these woman
+steve o The jury is still out on the whole fidelity thing. Mebbe we'll figure out at some point....
+Philippine Dreams Yeah, i am talking married men, and American too,
since Mitchell said what she said about Americans , I spoke on what i saw.
I did have an American friend there who had a live in girl friend for over 12 years and yes he cheated.
By far the Expects from like Germany which have more liberal views on sex as well as other your a peeing(European) country's where the men take cheated more.
Again money plays it's part in that,Can not even count how many Filipino men i met that had a wife and a mistress.
The problem i had with that was many had Children and these Children all suffered from these kind of actions.
Saw many woman also break down when they learned of there husbands actions making them Buang babaye.
I am more afraid of a crazy woman than buang lalaki.
Keep the dream alive.
Wish you both the best
steve o He he he he😂😂😂💖 I am having fun reading all the post here! You are talking visaya! Murag tinuud jud ni! People search if they are not fulfilled. My husband works with Filipino men for more than 40 yrs. he knew filipino men more than I do. He said exactly what you said. They often have side dishes! I can't believe it. Men or women seems the same. But I think it only differs on values. I worked with these kind of people in the US, Europe and Asia. When they talk with their partner in the Philippines over the phone his/her other extra is standing just beside him/her. How on earth these people can stand on that😞
I think most of what you discussed is true. But there are just as many Filipinas that I know personally, who've been unfaithful also....?mmm reminds me I got to change this profile icon picture!!! As in most cultures, women are always looking out for the BBD....watch The Mask if you need to know what the BBD is.
Dobiedoo2 It has always been a two way street when it comes to foreigners & Filipinas. You have the Good & bad in every country. You just have to weed out all the bad apples on both sides.
clark henderson For sure Clark!
Money talks in ANY culture. There are lots of attractive Pinoys in PI. Maybe, if there're enough of these rich (and guapo) guys in the neighborhood, Michelle's friends don't have to look for "Western men". Just saying...
jerry pons I hope none of them move into our neighborhood. I'd be running solo in no time. :(
Since Filipinas are women... I think they like having a bigger "Shoe budget"
not that they ever need that. LOL Sorry Michell you can hit me if we meet ...you/Ned. :)
I need to add that even if an American man did cheat on his wife, he will still support his wife and kids and just abandon them like Filipinos do.
Scott Warren I don't agree with that at all. I know more than a few deadbeats who have returned to the states leaving their kids behind with no support.
"Breeding Stock"! Since I have blond hair and blue eyes, can I charge a "stud fee" when I move to the Philippines? Just kidding. Interesting video. Keep up the the good work!
Terry Tarbeck Thanks, Terry.
love the comments 4 m's 4 f's
lol so funny , white belly hehehe
Michel has to be incorrect that most Americans in a serious relationship with a Filipina are cheating on them. There is a major difference between how an American treats Filipinas versus how Filipinos treat them (whole separate families not just women!)
Scott Warren Again Warren, I have to take exception to that. I have seen a number of Westerners treat their better halves pretty badly, utilizing financial leverage to get away with a number of behaviors that they wouldn't be able to get away with back "home."
Are we talking about majorities or minorities. If the majority behave that way, then it says a lot about the type of men that go to Philippines. I doubt it's the majority.
Steve S It sounds like we agree if you are saying that the majority who cheat are Filipinos.
Is that the reason why you're with a foreigner?
Don't forget to mention the social class structure. A white foreigner will less reluctantly marry into a poor Filipino family than his wealthy Filipino counterpart.
Tom Heath That's in part two. Thanks, Tom!
I think there is no single reason and different pinay have different reasons from wanting a guy who has some security and maturity...oh, why not ask them and stop guessing. Which you did, in part, need more pinay input.
So i guess as a lower middle class black man from California I am just SOL. S$^t Out Of Luck.
Dennis DeBerry Who told ya that?
Philippine Dreams I am going on what you and Michelle said in the first video. I have heard that thing about light skin appeal from other Filipinas. But to tell you the thruth in the two years that I visited the Philippines in the mid 80s I never did notice any particular dislike of black people. ActuallY I felt more at home and welcome then I did in most places in the Stated.
She's lovely :) hehehe
+Marcel66ish She's got a great heat, as well! :)
you mean heart i guess :)
Yes i know her from long time ago , we talked in ym
Hahaha, this was absolutely great!!!
IN UK the same when i was boss ( power money) i attracted female employees ( Like Alfa Male Lion only one with the lionesness's / girls worked well 1970 till 2000 >>> then i moved east .. its same but more choice secret employeee the Filipino girls day salary.. 250 / 450 a day PLUS your the boss ( warn them never ask 4 loan money u get fired ) chinese ask 4 more work Filipino need ask LOAN / Money LIKE THAI's need money buffalo sick LOL
Old Carabao Bulls Eat young grass.
Heeeeyyy. I lived there I'm called. a pensionado.were baby makers over there I'm not white I'm. Latino and so therefore. also if they're. after you're money look around. you when you there corruption. there is bad . And
mostly the stigma is it that over there. is. if you're handsome. you make it if you're tall and. a if you're a woman. you have to be. ganda. beautiful and other.things and when I lived there I would help my family.there right now my wife. is a barangay.health worker
she's a volunteer I'm so desperate in bringing.her over.that I'm doing the impossible looking for 4 jobs if needed because the needs are many .
Long nose, white skin and blue eyes. Breeding stock ya.my wife denys its money, but I don't believe her. Says I'm kind but because of money I think. Says she is not scared when I'm with her because I can protect her. That would be because I'm bigger than Filipinos I suppose. Mostly because I'm loyal to her she says. I'm old, she's attractive and young, why spoil a good thing?
Sadly true but for desperate filipina only not all.😑
90% poor- that's very wrong figure or assumption. A lot of pinoys still above poverty or rich.
Not by Western standards.
4Ms - matanda, mayaman, madaling mamatay :-)
Lol. Yep.
Well Ned,,money is definatly the advantage there...but who cares about money?how does she treat you...?and how do they know we are about to die?haha,,,dont you leave me Ned hehe..id take one good year with a filipina over twenty years of a miserble western women,,p.s they all gone crazy haha,,loco
Ned, you are getting beaten up buddy, hehehe,, So what does Michell think of you? hahaha,,,, Money, White, Player,,,,? hahaha
BenFern kay You met me. It's obviously my rugged good looks, keen wit and charm.
hehe, Everyone has something, haha,,,,,,Gotcha buddy, keep up the good work. You guys are good people, Say Hi Michell.....
american old men whom are very poor in the united states of america ( living on their S.S. income which is generally way below the poverty level incomes here in the USA ) and now NOW? They are rich living in the Philippines with a young women wife! That`s some crazy shit right ned? LOL I love your show because it is so realistically honest LMAO on the breeding stock white men..LOL
***** From that angle, it is abundantly clear that they score because the bar is set much lower there....having millions of sweet young things living in poverty make it like shooting the proverbial fish in the barrel. :)
J.R. Paguia we got a cinderella story for men scenario going on over there in the Philippines don`t we?
***** Indeed. And good for them...as it can often be a win/win situation (long term or short term). After all, everyone does have the right to the pursuit of happiness.
Happy fourth.
lol @ cheating guess they dont know us
whites are more easier
WHY I DONT HEAR A PINOY MARRIED TO AN AMERICAN CHICK (WHITE OR BLACK), COMMON PINOYS SHOW YOUR GUTS🤣
Um, i know of at least four Pinoy married to foreign women.
