      Any kind of lies? Well, you will be either alone or have a series of very short experiences with Filipinas. I think you are missing the point. Mike is telling you that this behavior is cultural. You WILL to a greater or lessor degree see some of this behavior. Accept it as truth and act accordingly. Accept little white lies and or repentance when she trusts you enough to be honest. Dating is fun for us Americans. For a Filipina, it truly is the hunger games. Lastly, these are some truly beautiful women, give them some grace, understand them and you will have one of the strongest relationships of your life

      You are wrong for that as you need to be 100% transparent in honest detail with your female partner and same with her to you. Critically think about why you are wrong as men and women are willing to share their private parts with each other but not their smartphone and everything apart of their private life.

      Aye Chi Wa Wa...!! What's the catch, you wonder ?
      I suspect there's a "backstory" that THIS mate isn't revealing... Lots of folks who come to the Philippines, are "on the run" from vampire wives, legal entanglements, fellow vengeful criminals, and who KNOWS what...!!
      Of course, there are the "standard wealth types", who are:
      Wealthy businessmen..
      Family Inheritance adventurers..
      Well-Paid Corporate "Branch
      Scarecrows...
      Government Data Researchers..
      CIA Officers sent by the State Department.. Corporate Schmoes & Smoogers checking foreign competitors..
      Missionaries Seeking to gather "disciples" for their Church..
      Mercs..
      Members of the Military or Diplomats..
      Major Chinese, Russian, UK or USA (coming to extract natural resources or control of an existing government.)
      Those who fit any of the above, can "float" in and out of love affairs and fabulous homes in a variety of countries !!😅😅😮

      False. You have to keep all the chat conversations and hopefully there is something in it where she says she is single. I had a situation like that and the husband was trying to blackmail me to report it to the Police and I would be going to jail. So I went to the police told them what happened I'd been blackmailed and introduced the evidence she said she was single. They both got arrested. If you are unlucky and you get a corrupt police officer 100 bucks will do the trick with them.

      If the husband catches you he can murder you and get away with it. "When a legally married person surprises his spouse in the act of committing sexual intercourse with another person and kills one or both of them in the act or immediately thereafter, he may not be held liable for such killing if the death is the proximate result of the outrage overwhelming him after catching his spouse in the act of infidelity." (Search with that phrase).

    It's absolutely true that not all Filipinas are cheaters. In my case, I've had conversations with many Filipinas, and after a year of chatting, I met a genuinely honest and pure-hearted Filipina. She comes from a very respectable family. We were friends for three years before I visited the Philippines and married her. Now, we have two children, and we're living in the USA. She's a professional gynecologist, and I work as an economist.

      Wish you well and hope all stays put together, for the better and not for the worse.

For many years, I have focused on the Latin-American dating site, and I have never once received more than 25+ likes in less than 1 hour. Now that I've been able to see the hotness that's in the Philippines, it has definitely grabbed my attention.

    In 2000.I met a bargirl in George Bocobo St in Manila, who was actually 100% honest. On a visit in 2009 I met a waitress from Cebu who lied about not having children even though I noticed stretch marks on her body, which initially prompted the question. She asked me to marry her about 6 months ago claiming she's always loved me since '09, but she's since had 2 more children from another fella and worked as an aupair in Saudi Arabia for one year recently, yet she wanted money from me to gain entry paper's for UAE. Yes I've since blocked her.

    Good advice, all of it! My plan when I get over there is to stay off the dating sites altogether, then go try out 7-8 different areas for a couple months at a time each, "date the location" first, before deciding which location I want to "marry." Once I find my permanent place, THEN I'll start thinking about dating, and I'll try it organically for the first few months. If not successful, only then will I consider trying online.

    From everything you are telling in this video, Mike, I can deduct (although I knew this already) that honesty is a major issue in the Philippines. Yes, they will lie to you! Yes, they may have a husband or a boyfriend stashed away somewhere! Yes, they may want to be with you for your money and not for love! That's why I'm seriously considering having my next girlfriend checked out by a private investigator. And this also explains where their jealousy and insecurity comes from. They are not upfront with you, so they expect you to have a sceleton in your cupboard as well. They know that they are lying to you, so why should they assume that you are being honest with them? I'm glad you have found a good Filipina, Mike, but for every guy like you there are probably 10 who were not that lucky!

    mike, very good advice, so clearly put. danger is when one gets infatuated or emotionally involved, one may break those rules, especially if one comes from a scarcity mindset. the overall message i get is take things slowly, a step at a time. you’ll inevitably go through a lot of frogs before you find a princess, if at all. maintain your frame at all times. in a younger woman, her unspoken hidden long term agenda will slowly become clear. if your goal is simply long term girlfriend without cohabitation , marriage, kids or buying a house together, only finance costs for time you spend together, never capital items or family help. from australia.

    Excellent video Mike. Good advice I heard before I came was this, if you have to ask if a Filipina likes you, she doesn't. If she likes you she will come on strong, coming from the west it was refreshing and scary at the same time. If she does not snoop your phone she does not really like you. I really hated this one but I have learned to treat my phone as open. I can't remember to turn it off every time. The rest is 100% accurate. But I would prefer a woman that really loves me and is a bit crazy/jealous rather than all western women who just ignore me. A safety valve is no marriage and renting only for me. Cam

    The biggest mistake I made in the Philippines was to live with a single mother in Palawan. Everything was fine for 2 months, then one day she asked me to lend her 20k pesos to get her jewelry out of the pawn shop. She said her parents would give me it back the following day but of course she only paid back 6k, all planned. I wasn't aware of her debts and I just couldn't be bothered to leave her and the sum wasn't really huge so I stayed there.
    I was very cautious to give her anything else after that but I left her after further bad behaviour and a couple of dubious thefts .

    When you compliment a Filipina that she's beautiful and they say "no I'm not", it's not so much that they're insecure as much as it's part of the culture's humility to deflect praise. Because saying "thank you" is interpreted as "yes, I am beautiful" and that is something they loathe upon.
