I agree with those who suggested you should learn Chinese. Also you must realize that people dont think you are a young man. You dont look particular young either, please face the realities.
The honest truth is someone in their 30s will not want to date 60+ yr old guy unless they are interested in your money(a lot of it). Remember picking a mate( with desirable traits and certain characteristics/specifications goes both ways).
If you haven't learnt to spoke Chinese and been living there for more than ten years... that's just complete laziness and shows that you don't really have respect for China. You also went prowling within the six months after your wife passed away, that just creepy. You're a womaniser plain and simple!!!
@Spicy-n2y Exactly! At least learn, "Where's the bathroom?". It wouldn't be so bad, but I heard he's been there 20 years. I think he just drinks in his spare time. Oh well. We all have vices.
The truth is China is more developed now so the women are more picky. It's not the same China as the time you met WeiFong back in the day. You're gonna need a big wallet nowadays. When a Chinese young woman sees you being old she thinks you're old and gross. That's the simple truth. A Filipina young woman will also think that inside about you, make no mistake and don't fool yourself to think they don't see age. 😂. but since they're poor they see you being at deaths door as a way they can get at all your inheritance faster 😂. You do what you need to do. It's a typical story that plays out this way throughout South East Asia.
Yes , I agree, they see us elder gentleman having one foot in the grave. 😂. Their gold diggers but I don't blame them. Love is blind when looking for a wife.
💯agree. My experiences n South East Asian taught me many lessons. I have always thought those poor beautiful woman were victims, but the truth is that foreign man are the biggest victim, or else you wouldn't be that far looking for happiness. Asian woman r very smart, tricky & good at keeping secrets, especially young looking for old foreigners. they r not looking for age, but financial success. not to say all r like this. but lot's of them are. . Believe me when they all poor they don't know poor. only a outsider rich person can tell. But if ur OK with it . than go for it. Yes. lot's of them will even have kids with you to secure the deal.
Kirk, 30 plus years, is too big of the gap. In Canada, you are dirty old man! Filipinas love ATM man... So age is not an issue there but more likely you will have to support the whole family. Be careful, don't lose your pants and shirt for a piece of tail. They can take half of your assets in a blink an eye! I know many retirees been taken for a ride. Good luck!
Kirk, it's fate. I didn't have any dates in my youthful 20s - totally none. Why don't you focus on some other hobby? Or develop new interests? I like to be alone. No noise, no demands, no expectations, no additional expenses. It's totally freedom!
My Chinese wife is 1 year younger then me, 59. She does not speak English because I always planned to retire in China so she never saw the need to learn. I did take 1 year of Chinese in South West University in Chongqing. It gives me enough skill to talk to her with her. After 13 years we kind of adopted our communication to each other.
I'm in the same boat, after 15 years of living with my wife here in China her English has gone ahead in leaps and bounds while my Chinese is minimal. However, after all these years we are able to communicate very well. You develop a sort of personal communication language.
@@leondxut Same here, my Mandarin sucks, but my wife English, after living in the US 15 years, is very sufficient, but certainly not fluent. Using an AI translator on our phones still comes in handy sometimes for the complicated conversations. But now that I have retired to China, I need to up my game in learning some more useful Chinese, but my translator is always at the ready. Good luck out there to my fellow expats trying their best to crack the code on this difficult language.
@@leondxut Fully agree, its funny. One of our friends is a Chinese English teacher. When we go to dinner he is always amazed. He says he is fluent in English and chinese, but when me and my wife talk he often has no clue what we saying. We have developed our own grammar and dialect.
My Chinese wife and me have been married for 18 years. She is 13 years younger than me and a Nanning native. Her English is poor but she knows enough to communicate with me. Most times we use Wechat to communicate when needed. Her pronunciation is poor but I can understand what she is saying as I have got so used to it. She uses the local dialect more when talking to others. That is far too difficult for me to learn. My Mandarin is enough to pass and get by and I am learning more each day. I learned what I know by myself and teaching in schools also helped me as I used Pinyin to get some points across during teaching.
I'm Sagittarian so I will be direct, I'm also about your age. Beer will be your main obstacle! Most mature Chinese women are profoundly into healthy, not going to be an ageing man's carer - NO WAY! Look at Robert Kiyosaki, Kim left when she was 60 & he was 77 (10 years difference). Wai Fong met you when younger & you had a business to build. Will your new partner just be a drinking partner with benefits? Philippines are happily ignorant if they choose a 60+ guy. They are young and have time to live & get re-married, plus you will be supporting their family too. Well most older men get what they deserve - life's dramas with young women without worldly experience. You may want to watch White guys who had relationships with lower educated/poorer Filipinos to know the reality.
if you want to find a wife in China, just 1. Learn mandarin 2. be realistic, seek a mate of your own age if you want a young sugar baby, go to thailand or philippines
China have passed the date when it was very poor 30 years ago that some young girls were willing to marry to old white people just for migrating to any western countries (like some current southeast Asia countries, such as Philippines). Chinese women nowadays are picky and don't think foreigner men are better than Chinese men or Western countries are better than China. You have to be wealthy, or good looking, and love Chinese culture and language to be able to attract them.
Those old virgins have not seen a white banana yet, they will change their mind after fighting with a super white banana, they do not know what they're missing.
Hi Kirk, you are an intelligent person. I think you will be more attracted to Chinese educated women. You need to try different channels to find them. Chinese dating services, overseas Chinese dating services, attending different social functions in China based on your own interests. These are just some of the strategies you can take. A lot of Chinese women at 50 are still very attractive. It’s the internal attraction that is important. Youth and beauty will fade away with age. But internal beauty never fades away. You are a good person that deserves a good companion. Good luck!
Don't be so hard on yourself. Live the present moment. You'll find what you are looking for. Saint Francis of Asisi's quote "be patient with everyone, but most of all be patient with yourself"
40s women still find 50 year old men attractive, once you start looking like grandpa, it's not gonna happen. just find one in se asia. be prepared to be a sugar daddy or don't dream about it. Enjoy life, you understand the culture already, learn some basic mandarin to help you get around. Hire a hooker when you want to get laid.
If I had had a successful relationship and grown old WITH someone, I think it would be different, but as a single OLD man I have the problem that I just don't really feel any attraction for someone who is the RIGHT age for me and I am quite sure any female who IS at an age where I can still feel that kind of attraction would only feel absolutely revolted at the thought of even kissing someone as old as me. I just accept and content myself with being a SINGLE, old man, wishing I could be young again.
Since I'm past 50 something, I realise I'm lucky to have my girlfriend. I do look back with envy at my past when I had younger, hotter girls, but I was much younger then. The reality is what hot young woman is going to want an old man? Enjoy peace and nature when you get old first and foremost. China has beautiful nature and temples etc. It's still a great place to be old. Maybe you can find a middle aged woman who can speak English.
Most 30s or 40s yo Chinese women are already educated and established in their career. They won't need sugar daddies. I think you'd have much better luck in less affluent SE Asian countries if you're after those age range. Many Vietnamese and Thai girls are beautiful IMO. Not sure why you would prefer PH over VN. Is it the language barrier?
All I can say is that you and I are about the same age. The woman I married is Chinese and is in her early 50s. Very compatible and no generational shock.
I'm a Malaysian Chinese from Kuala Lumpuar about your age, I guess you should try your luck in rural areas and of if you can speak Mandarin help a lot.And also I think you're financially well off it should be a problem (no money no honey) good luck 🙏
I know many divorced and widowed women in China where I will visit in two weeks, not for me to date but to hang out with. If I run across Gueilo 60, I will introduce him to some of them. You never know! 👍
I have an American friend who went to Singapore and he did not get any attention from the local people even local people speak English. Then he went to Vietnam then he got all kinds attention so he decided to stay in Vietnam instead of Singapore even English is not widely spoken by locals in Vietnam. I think Kirt is experiencing the same thing. China is at the same level as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong in Asia. Kirt needs to go to South East Asian countries where economic standards are lower and people don’t mind old white guys even with language barriers.
Don't date with the intention of getting married. Learn Mandarin, then widen your social circle, get some friends, male and female, and if by chance you manage to find a soul mate, then you can consider marrying her. But always be on guard that someone may be after your money. Hope you can find a Wei-fong equivalence.
100% the mindset of the young (below 30 years old) sweet young women in the Philippines, Thailand, and a few more countries are: No money, no honey baby! Most young Chinese women might consider an older man (above 60 years old) if the financial benefits are substantial. Gwelo60, you obviously belong in the Philippines where most people speak some English, and love can be readily bought & available with money. Spread your wealth to help out some young sweet and accommodating young Filipinas. Nobody would raise an eyebrow seeing a 60-80-year-old man with an 18-25-year-old local girl which I think is what you would like. I am very sure you enjoy your personal life much more in the Philippines than in China and you have absolutely no need to justify how you spend the rest of your life.
Unfortunately China is a country that is very tough to get a wife because of the male and female imbalance. Also the tradition of ‘dowry” makes the process more like a business transaction. Being an older foreigner who does not speak any Chinese dialects or mandarin magnified the difficulty by 10 folds. May be a non Chinese is a better bet. Being a Chinese, it saddens me to say this unhealthy marriage “industry” in China.
It's harder bc countries like China, S, Korea, Singapore, Japan, etc most woman are educated, well traveled, & backed by strict parents. Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, etc r the opposite.
Chinese women are very intelligent, industrious,picky women aside from it there parents don't allow or against poor people to marry but prefer to marry rich people. In Philippines, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia it's easy to married young woman they can understand basic English. That's why many British, Americans, expats community prefer to marry Filipina because they have beautiful daughters like Phoebe Cates even though there parents are not good looking figures. Philippines are preferred no. 1 destinations by many foreigners, travelers, tourist, expats because it's easy to find young beautiful women here than China culture because of strict standard by parents needs
Gweilo being honest . This is why I always tune in . I think if you find your love that her family comes along . This is normal , helping out her parents and siblings . Be safe and be happy . Thanks , your an good man . Old Cat always likes his young mouse
It’s not difficult to get a woman in China. You have a western passport which is a magnet 🧲 for Asian woman. I know you won’t be learning Mandarin because if you wanted to you would of done so many years ago. That’s why you have these over and over and over …. And over ….ad nauseam endless repeats of This VS That. China 🇨🇳 VS America 🇺🇸 for YT content because you cannot just straight up do an honest local person Mandarin speaking interview with the locals. So you keep having these this verses that videos for fluff filler videos instead.
In countries like the Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, and parts of Africa, it is possible. However, in China, it's very difficult, and even in Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, it is quite challenging. In the internet era, people are well aware of what’s going on. Very few women are willing to marry a poor, older Western 'loser,' and if such a marriage succeeds, it’s highly likely to be a scam. Currently, only Germany and Australia have the greatest appeal. The allure of Canadian and U.S. passports isn’t as strong, and if someone wants to move to these countries, they can just get a tourist visa and overstay."
@@sdsdj626 I see. I can see your points made. Is Kirk considered a poor $ loser and not an attractive prospect for young woman to marry or even to have a relationship with? Have you seen some of his very recent videos of him with a Filipina girl less than half his age together. He claims it’s just a friend but what do you think 🤔???
@@StanLee-xe7vr He has gained decent online revenue in China and on TH-cam by boasting about China. In the Philippines, Myanmar, and Cambodia, many older white men deceive uneducated young women, and that's the reality.
Western passport of a man means he can leave her at any time. It's generally a negative factor for Chinese women since most of them don't want to go to other countries.
Gweilo, like local Chinese, make a sign with your resume and post it in the park, see whether some woman can pick you up😊😊😊 Your mind is like a monkey, restless! Maybe you should consider going to the Shaolin temple to calm it down!
My neighbor in the US went to the Philippines on holiday and he died there on the first day. Now his wife and mistress are fighting over whether the mistress is entitled to some money from his estate. Now his wife is selling off his rental properties.
In China, there are plenty of pretty gals apparently looking to match make to find their love ones. Young ones or mature ones they are all waiting to meet the right ones. The formula is simple, you have to go to the right places to find them or give them a chance to find you. Just like in philippines there are streetfull of them.
Because you are asking: I've lived in China for a couple of years and can confirm your experience with Chinese women. I dated some and will never forget the scanner look to check how expensive my cloths were, the questions about my business, my banking account... They are very materialistic. I speak Chinese so it helped me a lot to understand them quicker. Then I went to the Phlippines for a 3 weeks vacation. This was 16 years ago. Met a 27 years younger girl just for the purpose of travelling together - we are married since, have two beautiful daughters, live in a gorgious place facing the sea. If you are careful about women and don't loose your mind you can find here the most beautiful, serious, loving, caring and faithful wives. But take it slowly, avoid bars, go to the countryside. And be careful with foreigners here, not all of them are good. There are many thousands of Expats living here around, but I don't hang around with them so much.
@@gutzuwissen-derstandderdin8655 if you have a business and looking for a partner that can help you run it, having a Chinese woman is the best kind of mate for that. All other requirements probably look elsewhere. 😂
Don't worry about dating. The best advice I was given was to stop dating. Your wife will find you. I thought he was joking, but I stopped dating for almost 2 years. Later, another friend introduced me to a beautiful lady. The rest is history. She's my beautiful Chinese wife now. We married before moving in together. Good luck. It'll be alright. I'm older than you, by the way. Why don't you move farther south in China? China is safer. The US is causing trouble in the Philippines.
I agree with you. We are close to the same age and in a similar situation. Dating Chinese women can be tough nowadays. Don't despair there are lots of other cultures close to you there. It will work out for you I'm sure.
Philippines....bc rest of the South East Asia countries R moving fast. Last time I was in Thailand 2017 the price almost doubled from 2015, even Cambodia was building a skytrain. Philippines best bet.
@@glennw.4570 When I found my Chinese wife online it was certainly like that, we were both looking for a spouse, and we got lucky (me luckier than her). But if you live in the country where you are looking for a mate, it certainly is much easier to date around first. Good luck!
@@williamlewandowski129 Your story is mine, also. My old Chinese wife and I are well into our second decade of marriage, and retired now in her hometown. It is truthfully the best and most peaceful period of my entire seventy years on the planet. Safe environment, wonderful and fresh food, a homogeneous culture (even the glorious minority groups are Chinese), and the museums of my dreams! While I do believe that 'diversity' is not actually a good thing for a country, I am happy to report that where we are I never even get a second glance, and people who do recognize that I am foreign treat me with kindness and dignity. My wife says that one big reason for our success is the fact that I am childless, and there is no friction on that front. My only loyalty is to her...
Sorry to hear your experience. Dating with the wrong person is a nightmare in any part of the world indeed. Each good relationship is a blessing but it may get harder to start a new romance when we get older. I got two friends married to tourist guides during their holiday trips. I'm not making any suggestions here but sometimes you need to look a bit farther away.
China is no longer a poor country, many young Chinese women are highly educated these days, even young educated Chinese men find it hard to find a decent wife. Thailand or Philippine might have a better chance ,. just sayin.
Hi Kirk. I am almost your age. I told my wife if she died I would not look for another partner. To me, it's just not worth the trouble. I would prefer the peace and quiet and time for myself. Of course, I have 3 kids and don't have to worry about no one to look after me when I get old. To each his own. Best wishes.
Some men who lose their long time spouse often fill that emptiness with more let's say superficial relationships as a distraction. Going to poor countries in South East Asia to seek the attention of young desperate poor women looking for a sugar daddy is a common thing amongst Western guys.
Another thing you could do is sit in that park and offer English practice for free. Could be a good way to meet someone the old fashioned way instead of going on the apps.
Thanks for your personal update. Understand your position. I agree with you that language is indeed a problem in China if you only speak English. Unless for us as an overseas Chinese, we too have a problem communicating with them except we can overcome that a bit by speaking a Chinese Dialect to them such as Cantonese or Hakka. Yes, I like Philippines because they all have no problem with English. People there are friendly but be careful of their friendliness too. Wishing you good luck and blessings finding a perfect partner. Be single is still a good option as there is no attachment. Freedom of thoughts and movement are important.
That's the beauty of it, China is China, the Philippines is the Phillipines, Vietnam is Vietnam.... it would be boring if every Country was similar! Have a look in Chinese Villages, the ladies there aren't marrying Farmers... they're heading to cities to find Chinese male with half decent jobs! Male Farmers cannot find wives.... Chinese young ladies from Farms know their "worth". The World laughs at the Property Crash in China... but who lost Billions and Billions? Western Investors, Wall St Brokers, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds when Chinese Banks didn't bale them out! Chinese Couples were priced out of the Market! China now has these Bankrupted Blocks of Apartments, Houses at no Cost. Chinese Universities are climbing up the Global Ladder... fast! Those Chinese Students you see walking around have only 1 thing on their mind... Career!
start a business there- export dried mangoes for for example - very expensive in Canada ( I think the market is captured) - attract better ladies as a working businessman and help out some of the people there - win win
Gweilo, I would suggest you enrol for a Chinese class. There's a good chance to get to know some reasonable Chinese women. Wish you luck from Malaysia.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, since you are in China, and seems to enjoy your life there, why not hire an English speaking Chinese tutor, see what happens.
You are in quite a small city. It will be unlikely for you to find someone there with a decent level of English. If I was your age and in your situation, I wouldn't bother with dating. I would just enjoy my hobbies, my peace and quiet, and just go for massages from time to time. Also download one of the language apps and learn more Chinese.
Come to Cebu Mr. Gwello and will introduce you to really nice beautiful people. Life is too short so do whatever it is that makes you happy. Enjoy life.
Can't help wondering how beautiful life would be now for the Filipinos if they had been friends with China all these years, instead of being under control of U.S. militarism.
I don't think that you are making a mistake. But I think someone with your age and needs maybe vulnerable to gold diggers anywhere in Asia. It is also a stereotype, within many countries in Asia, that white men are rich, especially old white men. That doesn't help you if you are looking for true love. Have you heard of the youtube channel called "China Unvarnished"? If not then I suggest you look into that to prepare yourself on how dating in China can be like.
Doesn't get that cold in Nanning during the winter months. Last winter was quite warm compared to previous. I didn't even need to use the electric blanket or heater . But then as I am from England it makes me kinda used to the winter weather. The summer months are the worst and my A.C or fan is always on.
I am living on the coast of Shandong where the weather is fairly comparable to the Seattle area where I am from. So my Chinese wife and I have found our spot where the climate is relatively temperate and the cost of living affordable. But lots of wonderful places to live in China, choose wisely. But I also enjoy learning about the PI, as it is quite the contrast. So keep up the good work Gweilo, I will be following your excellent adventure.
I will add more feedback. I have lived in China for over 15 years and travelled here since 2000. I have been many places. (1) Where and how you search makes a huge difference in the qualities of women. This is no difference to women raised in California compared to Mississippi. (2) What is their education level or employment. (3) Raised in the city vs rural. (4) Loner vs socially active. All women can and will learn English if they are not stupid. If you live someplace where they speak a local dialect, you will have a difficult time learning it. I live in Chongqing and part of a group of a dozen English speaking ex-pats & immigrants. All married to local women most speak decent levels of English, but none were speakers before they married. It takes about a year for them to reach a decent level if you talk a lot and they do not work. But if they have a full time job, it will take more time. Each Asian culture can be very different, so do expect their values to be the same. Don't make the mistake of thinking with the wrong head. At a certain age consider if you get sick in future and need help, where are they.
Maybe you can combine the "best of both Worlds". According to Wikipedia about 20 % of the Filippino population are of Chinese descent. Usually the more active and business minded people. You probably have a higher chance to find ladies in that group that speak English. Good luck my friend !!!
Kirk if all else fail, just try going to the park on the weekend to check on the dating scene, don't be picky, as long as she is a good nice lady and you 2 can get along and happy thats the point PEACE
人在做天在看！ Simply put, you do, people see! Chasing young girls in Philippines to have a good time is not going to get you any decent woman in China. Want to really settle down in China, learn the culture and learn the language before looking for leisure dating games. 😊
find a Philippine lady who is willing to travel or live with you, especially willing to move to China with you? and to be careful not to get cheated... this could be true no matter who you date..
Kirk, what you need to do is to take things one step at a time, but the first thing needed is for you to get Mandarin classes and get started with basic spoken Chinese. It will help in your understanding of Chinese culture too. It is going to take some time but if you like living in China that is going to be your best investment. It’s also the best tool that will help you achieve happiness in China. When the Chinese lady sees that you are honestly learning the language and the culture there will be a certain amount of respect you’ll get from them. I stand to be corrected but I believe you are living your life with the wrong Circle of people. Sorry but I bet that you going to the Philippines and looking for love there will be disastrous for you. The Philippines will not have the infrastructure that you have enjoyed in China and have gotten so used to. Why get a young Filipino girl when there are so many beautiful single Chinese women that are still available? If you can’t find them, you're looking in the wrong city, try to get out of your comfort zone and look for Chinese ladies in more developed cities like Beijing, Shanghai and perhaps even Dalian. It seems that you are quite set on girls between 30 to 40 years old. In my opinion I believe that somebody between the age of 40 to 45 is more suited for you. I'm 58 years old and my wife who is from China is 40 years old. If I’m single again, the 1st place I’ll hit is the Ballroom dance classes. I was in a dance class with 20 young beautiful Chinese ladies and I was the only male student.
9:15 … Kirk has almost made up his mind to go to the Philippines to find his partner :) Good on you mate! I wish you well. The beauty is that if it doesn’t work out, you can always go back to China or Canada. Life is too short. Just don’t promise what you may/do not want to deliver to your next potential partner … but I am sure you already know that :)
Kirk, lots of advices have been given to you so far. Learn more advanced Mandarian first. During class maybe you will be able to network your way to someone you can connect with. I have read certain professor married someone young whom admires his intellects. Remember this is rare. It's no longer twenty plus years ago or fuedal China.
Oh come on Kirk, no one under 50 is going to look at a 60+ year old man. Except for those looking for a sugar daddy. That’s just the truth.
Not true. Simply not true. That is just a western thing, it's not that way in many parts of the world.
at least in China normal women want men of no more than 5 year older or younger.
only sugar daddy seekers accept older older men
My wife is 31 years younger than me n we have 2 kids, 4 and 1 years old
Not true at all.
Seems like a good move cos the poorer the country the easier the women😂
I agree with those who suggested you should learn Chinese. Also you must realize that people dont think you are a young man. You dont look particular young either, please face the realities.
@@harbin88 he's getting long in the tooth
The honest truth is someone in their 30s will not want to date 60+ yr old guy unless they are interested in your money(a lot of it). Remember picking a mate( with desirable traits and certain characteristics/specifications goes both ways).
Exactly. Here we are talking "princess" class. Expect entitlement, with desire to have fun.
You live in China so should learn Chinese
Exactly! I always learn the language of the country I visit.
Learning the basics is a minimum.
Kirk won’t learn Chinese. He claims it’s too difficult and his this vs that videos or china vs America video is all he can do.
If you haven't learnt to spoke Chinese and been living there for more than ten years... that's just complete laziness and shows that you don't really have respect for China.
You also went prowling within the six months after your wife passed away, that just creepy.
You're a womaniser plain and simple!!!
@Spicy-n2y Exactly! At least learn, "Where's the bathroom?". It wouldn't be so bad, but I heard he's been there 20 years. I think he just drinks in his spare time. Oh well. We all have vices.
At 60 plus, no point thinking of marrying. Have more freedom when alone actually.
The truth is China is more developed now so the women are more picky. It's not the same China as the time you met WeiFong back in the day. You're gonna need a big wallet nowadays.

Filipinas love ATM man... So age is not an issue there but more likely you will have to support the whole family.
Be careful, don't lose your pants and shirt for a piece of tail. They can take half of your assets in a blink an eye! I know many retirees been taken for a ride. Good luck!
Buyer beware.
the locals doesn't need to speak English, you need to learn Chinese, very quickly..

Her English is poor but she knows enough to communicate with me. Most times we use Wechat to communicate when needed. Her pronunciation is poor but I can understand what she is saying as I have got so used to it.
She uses the local dialect more when talking to others. That is far too difficult for me to learn.
My Mandarin is enough to pass and get by and I am learning more each day. I learned what I know by myself and teaching in schools also helped me as I used Pinyin to get some points across during teaching.
Good man.
I'm Sagittarian so I will be direct, I'm also about your age. Beer will be your main obstacle! Most mature Chinese women are profoundly into healthy, not going to be an ageing man's carer - NO WAY! Look at Robert Kiyosaki, Kim left when she was 60 & he was 77 (10 years difference). Wai Fong met you when younger & you had a business to build. Will your new partner just be a drinking partner with benefits?
Philippines are happily ignorant if they choose a 60+ guy. They are young and have time to live & get re-married, plus you will be supporting their family too. Well most older men get what they deserve - life's dramas with young women without worldly experience. You may want to watch White guys who had relationships with lower educated/poorer Filipinos to know the reality.
if you want to find a wife in China, just
1. Learn mandarin
2. be realistic, seek a mate of your own age
if you want a young sugar baby, go to thailand or philippines
Don't think he's interested in marriage. Just sack-time. That's the problem.
Dancing aunties hmm
You are not young not handsome, and not rich. No nice woman young or old will stick with you.😂
My advice is learn to speak Mandarin. Am sure you find the right one. Good luck mister 🤞
Yeah imagine if Geillo was studying Chinese in a night school or library. he b a star over night.
China have passed the date when it was very poor 30 years ago that some young girls were willing to marry to old white people just for migrating to any western countries (like some current southeast Asia countries, such as Philippines). Chinese women nowadays are picky and don't think foreigner men are better than Chinese men or Western countries are better than China. You have to be wealthy, or good looking, and love Chinese culture and language to be able to attract them.
Those old virgins have not seen a white banana yet, they will change their mind after fighting with a super white banana, they do not know what they're missing.
You can be cocksure pinays who go with western men have already serviced the entire Yankee navy.... More than once. Another one is no big deal.
LOL!
Hi Kirk, you are an intelligent person. I think you will be more attracted to Chinese educated women. You need to try different channels to find them. Chinese dating services, overseas Chinese dating services, attending different social functions in China based on your own interests. These are just some of the strategies you can take. A lot of Chinese women at 50 are still very attractive. It’s the internal attraction that is important. Youth and beauty will fade away with age. But internal beauty never fades away. You are a good person that deserves a good companion. Good luck!
You've been in China for more than 20-years Gweilo. why haven't you learned Chinese, or should I say Mandarin?
Wow! That long? He should be ashamed. I always thought he knew Chinese. 😕
Don't be so hard on yourself. Live the present moment. You'll find what you are looking for. Saint Francis of Asisi's quote "be patient with everyone, but most of all be patient with yourself"
40s women still find 50 year old men attractive, once you start looking like grandpa, it's not gonna happen. just find one in se asia. be prepared to be a sugar daddy or don't dream about it. Enjoy life, you understand the culture already, learn some basic mandarin to help you get around. Hire a hooker when you want to get laid.
Come on. You should have mastered the chinese language by now, you had a chinese wife and living in China for decades.
If I had had a successful relationship and grown old WITH someone, I think it would be different, but as a single OLD man I have the problem that I just don't really feel any attraction for someone who is the RIGHT age for me and I am quite sure any female who IS at an age where I can still feel that kind of attraction would only feel absolutely revolted at the thought of even kissing someone as old as me. I just accept and content myself with being a SINGLE, old man, wishing I could be young again.
Since I'm past 50 something, I realise I'm lucky to have my girlfriend. I do look back with envy at my past when I had younger, hotter girls, but I was much younger then. The reality is what hot young woman is going to want an old man? Enjoy peace and nature when you get old first and foremost. China has beautiful nature and temples etc. It's still a great place to be old. Maybe you can find a middle aged woman who can speak English.
Look for women 90 and older
😅
😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
64 and looking for ??
“PIE IN THE SKY!”
The WOMEN all over has CHANGED!
It is MORE ABOUT $$SECURITY and “WHAT’s LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?”
Most 30s or 40s yo Chinese women are already educated and established in their career. They won't need sugar daddies. I think you'd have much better luck in less affluent SE Asian countries if you're after those age range. Many Vietnamese and Thai girls are beautiful IMO. Not sure why you would prefer PH over VN. Is it the language barrier?
Because Filipina speak English. That’s the biggest draw for older men who don’t want to learn a new language.
Dragon girls and women have very high standards in men.
All I can say is that you and I are about the same age. The woman I married is Chinese and is in her early 50s. Very compatible and no generational shock.
What about the large Chinese population in Vancouver, Canada? Bring one back to China. Get on a dating app for Vancouver.
Dragon females are well off so many for love. Pinays that go for old western men are poor so pressured by family to marry for money walking atm.
Stay put. I'll set you up with my wife's sister from Yunnan. She is in her early forties
People our age in China do not casually date. They announce their intention to get married again, find a life partner, and do it. You know that.
Beware of gold diggers. One of my friends lost a lot. But then again, he was very naive. And love is blind.
Learn Chinese!
Learn Mandarin and get an instant translator at the same time
I'm a Malaysian Chinese from Kuala Lumpuar about your age, I guess you should try your luck in rural areas and of if you can speak Mandarin help a lot.And also I think you're financially well off it should be a problem (no money no honey) good luck 🙏
I know many divorced and widowed women in China where I will visit in two weeks, not for me to date but to hang out with. If I run across Gueilo 60, I will introduce him to some of them. You never know! 👍
I have an American friend who went to Singapore and he did not get any attention from the local people even local people speak English. Then he went to Vietnam then he got all kinds attention so he decided to stay in Vietnam instead of Singapore even English is not widely spoken by locals in Vietnam. I think Kirt is experiencing the same thing. China is at the same level as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong in Asia. Kirt needs to go to South East Asian countries where economic standards are lower and people don’t mind old white guys even with language barriers.
Finding a great partner is as difficult to winning lottery, it’s in fact to finding a prefect sole mate it’s more than like winning a lottery.
soul mate? this old boy is looking for a woman 30 years younger than him, obviously he is not looking for a soul mate
@@bobol326 - age again make no difference, it’s between two individuals and it’s nothing to do with anyone else!
Some day you gonna have it all. but not all at the same time. ur racing horse, breeding horse, show horse, etc.
Don't date with the intention of getting married. Learn Mandarin, then widen your social circle, get some friends, male and female, and if by chance you manage to find a soul mate, then you can consider marrying her. But always be on guard that someone may be after your money. Hope you can find a Wei-fong equivalence.
100% the mindset of the young (below 30 years old) sweet young women in the Philippines, Thailand, and a few more countries are: No money, no honey baby!
Most young Chinese women might consider an older man (above 60 years old) if the financial benefits are substantial.
Gwelo60, you obviously belong in the Philippines where most people speak some English, and love can be readily bought & available with money. Spread your wealth to help out some young sweet and accommodating young Filipinas. Nobody would raise an eyebrow seeing a 60-80-year-old man with an 18-25-year-old local girl which I think is what you would like.
I am very sure you enjoy your personal life much more in the Philippines than in China and you have absolutely no need to justify how you spend the rest of your life.
Never ever rush into a relations unless you're hoping to end up in regrets.
At this age, not easy to find a serious partner in Thailand either unless she's a gold digger.
Unfortunately China is a country that is very tough to get a wife because of the male and female imbalance. Also the tradition of ‘dowry” makes the process more like a business transaction. Being an older foreigner who does not speak any Chinese dialects or mandarin magnified the difficulty by 10 folds. May be a non Chinese is a better bet. Being a Chinese, it saddens me to say this unhealthy marriage “industry” in China.
True!
It's harder bc countries like China, S, Korea, Singapore, Japan, etc most woman are educated, well traveled, & backed by strict parents. Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, etc r the opposite.
Hence so many bachelors. The western world is not better off either. Lots of issues here if you look at the divorce rate.
Chinese women are very intelligent, industrious,picky women aside from it there parents don't allow or against poor people to marry but prefer to marry rich people. In Philippines, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia it's easy to married young woman they can understand basic English. That's why many British, Americans, expats community prefer to marry Filipina because they have beautiful daughters like Phoebe Cates even though there parents are not good looking figures. Philippines are preferred no. 1 destinations by many foreigners, travelers, tourist, expats because it's easy to find young beautiful women here than China culture because of strict standard by parents needs
You're going to be married to a Filipino family.
Gweilo being honest . This is why I always tune in . I think if you find your love that her family comes along . This is normal , helping out her parents and siblings . Be safe and be happy . Thanks , your an good man . Old Cat always likes his young mouse
There's lots of girls keen to date you when you stay in hotels there. They even have cards with their pictures on they slip under your hotel door. 😂
Maybe you should go back Canada,there are many Indian immigrants,it’s a chance
It’s not difficult to get a woman in China. You have a western passport which is a magnet 🧲 for Asian woman. I know you won’t be learning Mandarin because if you wanted to you would of done so many years ago. That’s why you have these over and over and over …. And over ….ad nauseam endless repeats of This VS That. China 🇨🇳 VS America 🇺🇸 for YT content because you cannot just straight up do an honest local person Mandarin speaking interview with the locals. So you keep having these this verses that videos for fluff filler videos instead.
In countries like the Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, and parts of Africa, it is possible. However, in China, it's very difficult, and even in Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, it is quite challenging. In the internet era, people are well aware of what’s going on. Very few women are willing to marry a poor, older Western 'loser,' and if such a marriage succeeds, it’s highly likely to be a scam.
Currently, only Germany and Australia have the greatest appeal. The allure of Canadian and U.S. passports isn’t as strong, and if someone wants to move to these countries, they can just get a tourist visa and overstay."
@@sdsdj626 I see. I can see your points made. Is Kirk considered a poor $ loser and not an attractive prospect for young woman to marry or even to have a relationship with? Have you seen some of his very recent videos of him with a Filipina girl less than half his age together. He claims it’s just a friend but what do you think 🤔???
@@StanLee-xe7vr He has gained decent online revenue in China and on TH-cam by boasting about China. In the Philippines, Myanmar, and Cambodia, many older white men deceive uneducated young women, and that's the reality.
Western passport of a man means he can leave her at any time. It's generally a negative factor for Chinese women since most of them don't want to go to other countries.
Gweilo, like local Chinese, make a sign with your resume and post it in the park, see whether some woman can pick you up😊😊😊 Your mind is like a monkey, restless! Maybe you should consider going to the Shaolin temple to calm it down!
Take a closer look at divorced or widowed women around 30 to 40s (even in the Philippines), is only fair. Many hidden gems among them!
Wait - I think he may not want to date single mom???
My neighbor in the US went to the Philippines on holiday and he died there on the first day. Now his wife and mistress are fighting over whether the mistress is entitled to some money from his estate. Now his wife is selling off his rental properties.
In China, there are plenty of pretty gals apparently looking to match make to find their love ones. Young ones or mature ones they are all waiting to meet the right ones. The formula is simple, you have to go to the right places to find them or give them a chance to find you. Just like in philippines there are streetfull of them.
Because you are asking: I've lived in China for a couple of years and can confirm your experience with Chinese women. I dated some and will never forget the scanner look to check how expensive my cloths were, the questions about my business, my banking account... They are very materialistic. I speak Chinese so it helped me a lot to understand them quicker. Then I went to the Phlippines for a 3 weeks vacation. This was 16 years ago. Met a 27 years younger girl just for the purpose of travelling together - we are married since, have two beautiful daughters, live in a gorgious place facing the sea. If you are careful about women and don't loose your mind you can find here the most beautiful, serious, loving, caring and faithful wives. But take it slowly, avoid bars, go to the countryside. And be careful with foreigners here, not all of them are good. There are many thousands of Expats living here around, but I don't hang around with them so much.
All true! Love the remark, "scanner look" 😂
Anglo saxon is a goldmine to pinoys girl until they found out you r a poor whiteman
@@gutzuwissen-derstandderdin8655 if you have a business and looking for a partner that can help you run it, having a Chinese woman is the best kind of mate for that. All other requirements probably look elsewhere. 😂
@@MaxAmerica.Freedom Loved the watch out for sketchy Ex Pats too (which doesn't apply to us, of course).
I always found it easy to date in china. At one point i was going out almost every single day. Lost 8 kg 😅. Patience sir
Don't worry about dating. The best advice I was given was to stop dating. Your wife will find you. I thought he was joking, but I stopped dating for almost 2 years. Later, another friend introduced me to a beautiful lady. The rest is history. She's my beautiful Chinese wife now. We married before moving in together. Good luck. It'll be alright. I'm older than you, by the way. Why don't you move farther south in China? China is safer. The US is causing trouble in the Philippines.
He needs someone to tell him how awesome he is everyday. He'll only get that in the Philippines.
@@AB_123_AB what about a dog 🐕? It's cheaper.
Good luck desparado....whatever happens is probably going to be you choosing your destiny.
As the Eagles said go for the queen of hearts...
I agree with you. We are close to the same age and in a similar situation. Dating Chinese women can be tough nowadays. Don't despair there are lots of other cultures close to you there. It will work out for you I'm sure.
Philippines....bc rest of the South East Asia countries R moving fast. Last time I was in Thailand 2017 the price almost doubled from 2015, even Cambodia was building a skytrain. Philippines best bet.
People our age in China do not casually date. They announce their intention to get married again, find a life partner, and do it.
@@glennw.4570 When I found my Chinese wife online it was certainly like that, we were both looking for a spouse, and we got lucky (me luckier than her). But if you live in the country where you are looking for a mate, it certainly is much easier to date around first. Good luck!
@@williamlewandowski129 Your story is mine, also. My old Chinese wife and I are well into our second decade of marriage, and retired now in her hometown. It is truthfully the best and most peaceful period of my entire seventy years on the planet. Safe environment, wonderful and fresh food, a homogeneous culture (even the glorious minority groups are Chinese), and the museums of my dreams! While I do believe that 'diversity' is not actually a good thing for a country, I am happy to report that where we are I never even get a second glance, and people who do recognize that I am foreign treat me with kindness and dignity.
My wife says that one big reason for our success is the fact that I am childless, and there is no friction on that front. My only loyalty is to her...
Most Filipinas speak English, and many don’t mind a 64 years old guy!
Sorry to hear your experience. Dating with the wrong person is a nightmare in any part of the world indeed. Each good relationship is a blessing but it may get harder to start a new romance when we get older. I got two friends married to tourist guides during their holiday trips. I'm not making any suggestions here but sometimes you need to look a bit farther away.
China is no longer a poor country, many young Chinese women are highly educated these days, even young educated Chinese men find it hard to find a decent wife. Thailand or Philippine might have a better chance ,. just sayin.
Hi Kirk. I am almost your age. I told my wife if she died I would not look for another partner. To me, it's just not worth the trouble. I would prefer the peace and quiet and time for myself. Of course, I have 3 kids and don't have to worry about no one to look after me when I get old. To each his own. Best wishes.
I am a 65 year old woman, and if anything happens to hubby, I would never remarry neither.
Some men who lose their long time spouse often fill that emptiness with more let's say superficial relationships as a distraction. Going to poor countries in South East Asia to seek the attention of young desperate poor women looking for a sugar daddy is a common thing amongst Western guys.
Another thing you could do is sit in that park and offer English practice for free. Could be a good way to meet someone the old fashioned way instead of going on the apps.
Yo Kirk philippine economy needs you man. Perhaps the only country where no one give a sh*t you have teen gf so long your atm works. 😂
Youe wife just passed away, not even been a year. In her memory, shouldn't you try and wait and curtail your needs for now?
no need to wait if you do not want to wait
no need for marriage either.
In fact, Thailand is another direction to consider. I just met one recently. I think Thai girls are relatively less vain.
Thanks for your personal update. Understand your position. I agree with you that language is indeed a problem in China if you only speak English. Unless for us as an overseas Chinese, we too have a problem communicating with them except we can overcome that a bit by speaking a Chinese Dialect to them such as Cantonese or Hakka. Yes, I like Philippines because they all have no problem with English. People there are friendly but be careful of their friendliness too. Wishing you good luck and blessings finding a perfect partner. Be single is still a good option as there is no attachment. Freedom of thoughts and movement are important.
That's the beauty of it, China is China, the Philippines is the Phillipines, Vietnam is Vietnam.... it would be boring if every Country was similar!
Have a look in Chinese Villages, the ladies there aren't marrying Farmers... they're heading to cities to find Chinese male with half decent jobs!
Male Farmers cannot find wives.... Chinese young ladies from Farms know their "worth".
The World laughs at the Property Crash in China... but who lost Billions and Billions? Western Investors, Wall St Brokers, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds when Chinese Banks didn't bale them out!
Chinese Couples were priced out of the Market! China now has these Bankrupted Blocks of Apartments, Houses at no Cost.
Chinese Universities are climbing up the Global Ladder... fast!
Those Chinese Students you see walking around have only 1 thing on their mind... Career!
start a business there- export dried mangoes for for example - very expensive in Canada ( I think the market is captured) - attract better ladies as a working businessman and help out some of the people there - win win
I wish to stay single not be with another stranger
Gweilo, I would suggest you enrol for a Chinese class. There's a good chance to get to know some reasonable Chinese women. Wish you luck from Malaysia.
Chinese is really not that difficult. It's learning to read it that's difficult. They have real time earplug translators now anyway
@@MaxAmerica.Freedom Time Kettle.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, since you are in China, and seems to enjoy your life there, why not hire an English speaking Chinese tutor, see what happens.
You are in quite a small city. It will be unlikely for you to find someone there with a decent level of English. If I was your age and in your situation, I wouldn't bother with dating. I would just enjoy my hobbies, my peace and quiet, and just go for massages from time to time. Also download one of the language apps and learn more Chinese.
Come to Cebu Mr. Gwello and will introduce you to really nice beautiful people. Life is too short so do whatever it is that makes you happy. Enjoy life.
I am 78 years old and my fiance is 30 years old, hang in there
Can't help wondering how beautiful life would be now for the Filipinos if they had been friends with China all these years, instead of being under control of U.S. militarism.
I don't think that you are making a mistake. But I think someone with your age and needs maybe vulnerable to gold diggers anywhere in Asia. It is also a stereotype, within many countries in Asia, that white men are rich, especially old white men. That doesn't help you if you are looking for true love. Have you heard of the youtube channel called "China Unvarnished"? If not then I suggest you look into that to prepare yourself on how dating in China can be like.
Doesn't get that cold in Nanning during the winter months. Last winter was quite warm compared to previous. I didn't even need to use the electric blanket or heater . But then as I am from England it makes me kinda used to the winter weather.
The summer months are the worst and my A.C or fan is always on.
I am living on the coast of Shandong where the weather is fairly comparable to the Seattle area where I am from. So my Chinese wife and I have found our spot where the climate is relatively temperate and the cost of living affordable. But lots of wonderful places to live in China, choose wisely. But I also enjoy learning about the PI, as it is quite the contrast. So keep up the good work Gweilo, I will be following your excellent adventure.
I will add more feedback. I have lived in China for over 15 years and travelled here since 2000. I have been many places. (1) Where and how you search makes a huge difference in the qualities of women. This is no difference to women raised in California compared to Mississippi. (2) What is their education level or employment. (3) Raised in the city vs rural. (4) Loner vs socially active. All women can and will learn English if they are not stupid.
If you live someplace where they speak a local dialect, you will have a difficult time learning it.
I live in Chongqing and part of a group of a dozen English speaking ex-pats & immigrants. All married to local women most speak decent levels of English, but none were speakers before they married. It takes about a year for them to reach a decent level if you talk a lot and they do not work. But if they have a full time job, it will take more time.
Each Asian culture can be very different, so do expect their values to be the same.
Don't make the mistake of thinking with the wrong head. At a certain age consider if you get sick in future and need help, where are they.
I’m certain you will have better success in the Philippines.
You need to be looking in a tier one city. English is much more common even with older people.
Learning some Chinese will always help your game too.
Just have some fun, don't take it too deep too fast. Take it or leave it is a good way for a lot of people.
Maybe you can combine the "best of both Worlds". According to Wikipedia about 20 % of the Filippino population are of
Chinese descent. Usually the more active and business minded people. You probably have a higher chance to find ladies
in that group that speak English. Good luck my friend !!!
Kirk if all else fail, just try going to the park on the weekend to check on the dating scene, don't be picky, as long as she is a good nice lady and you 2 can get along and happy thats the point PEACE
Most younger women see you as dady big bucks,,mind you there are RICH women who might be perfect mate. Keep lookin and ye shall find.
人在做天在看！
Simply put, you do, people see! Chasing young girls in Philippines to have a good time is not going to get you any decent woman in China. Want to really settle down in China, learn the culture and learn the language before looking for leisure dating games. 😊
As an 83 year old widower I have been looking for a nice lady with a white cane. No luck yet.
Stop looking and she'll come. But remember, a dog is truly man's best friend. 🐕
Consider me an applicant btw my cane is silver😂😂😂
hey，you are having a great time in southeast Asia and it's a close flight from Naning. You can have the best of both worlds.
find a Philippine lady who is willing to travel or live with you, especially willing to move to China with you? and to be careful not to get cheated... this could be true no matter who you date..
How about an 80 years old grandma. 😅
Kirk, what you need to do is to take things one step at a time, but the first thing needed is for you to get Mandarin classes and get started with basic spoken Chinese. It will help in your understanding of Chinese culture too. It is going to take some time but if you like living in China that is going to be your best investment. It’s also the best tool that will help you achieve happiness in China. When the Chinese lady sees that you are honestly learning the language and the culture there will be a certain amount of respect you’ll get from them. I stand to be corrected but I believe you are living your life with the wrong Circle of people. Sorry but I bet that you going to the Philippines and looking for love there will be disastrous for you. The Philippines will not have the infrastructure that you have enjoyed in China and have gotten so used to. Why get a young Filipino girl when there are so many beautiful single Chinese women that are still available? If you can’t find them, you're looking in the wrong city, try to get out of your comfort zone and look for Chinese ladies in more developed cities like Beijing, Shanghai and perhaps even Dalian. It seems that you are quite set on girls between 30 to 40 years old. In my opinion I believe that somebody between the age of 40 to 45 is more suited for you. I'm 58 years old and my wife who is from China is 40 years old.
If I’m single again, the 1st place I’ll hit is the Ballroom dance classes. I was in a dance class with 20 young beautiful Chinese ladies and I was the only male student.
Seems like Thai lady will be a good choice for you.
🤣 Yeah I agree. They always say "Yes can do" at everything.
You'll have a much easier time PH probably.
Maybe dye your hair to black or brown. May make you look younger. My wife dyes my hair as she says I look old with the gray stuff.
If Philippines is so bad so why would many foreigners travelers tourist expats invest and visits or live here compare to China's strict standard
Your best bet is to go to the Philippines. You can easily find a 40 y/o woman who doesnt ask for much.
Hey Kirk I'm so sorry to hear what happened. What did happen? Is that why you stop doing your video podcasting?
9:15 … Kirk has almost made up his mind to go to the Philippines to find his partner :) Good on you mate! I wish you well. The beauty is that if it doesn’t work out, you can always go back to China or Canada. Life is too short. Just don’t promise what you may/do not want to deliver to your next potential partner … but I am sure you already know that :)
Kirk, lots of advices have been given to you so far. Learn more advanced Mandarian first. During class maybe you will be able to network your way to someone you can connect with. I have read certain professor married someone young whom admires his intellects. Remember this is rare. It's no longer twenty plus years ago or fuedal China.
This park so noisy
