    Last 6 years Cebu my go to place, However, I just did 6 months in Philippines traveling and home based in Manila. I was wrong about Manila. Good advice on the proximity of Manila in dating. If you learn the train, motor taxis, and how to manage the taxis from cheating you its a great place. Cubao for travel as everything goes there, and Makati has sidewalks, trees, parks, and is a great walking city. A great dating pool, but, you need a few pesos and have value(looks,personality, etc, ) and be willing to do 10-20 year age gap instead of 20-30 and its fantastic. The quality of the ladies is off the charts to me as a blend of Pinay and the west. Easy to find women with a lot more in common and mentally stimulating and curious. Even the airport has improved a lot.

So i know it can be nice. But the hype on social media can get annoying. Places like the Alabang Town Center or the Shangri La Mall can be just as good.

    Hi Chad., my husband and I totally agree with your observation about finding a wife material in Manila compared to Cebu. The women in Cebu and Dumaguete has been tainted because of exposure to lots of foreigners. Manila has more educated, mature women with careers and able to take care of themselves. The only thing is that ,the foreigner also has to present himself as a good catch. The foreigner will not get the same attention as what they are getting in the remote provinces.

    Agree, find a girl that works and has a job. They are more responsible. They are usually sending money home to take care of their parents. Its better if she has siblings who work to help support the family. Picked Cebu to find a girl just because it was not as big as Manilla. As an afterthought, Manilla would have been better if I was concerned about the costs if bringing the girl to the US on a fiancée visa because the medical exam happens in Manilla 2 weeks before the interview at the US Embassy. So there are the costs associated with transportation, hotels, food, if your girl is from Cebu. Luckily my Filipina wife had cousins in Manilla that she could stay with.
    Am glad you are touting the value of girls from the city, there really are a lot of girls in the Philippines and you never know where you are going to meet the right one.

    Who is your audience?

How many are really guys in their 40s who can afford to move to BGC? And if they are older can they realistically date women there? I think sometimes people with TH-cam income forget that their viewers are going to be doing this with no income.

      1. Makati City
      2. Taguig City- BGC and Arca South
      3. Quezon City- Eastwood, Araneta Center, little part of Ortigas Center.
      4. Pasig City- Ortigas Center
      5. Muntinlupa City- Filinvest Center and Alabang Area.
      6. Pasay and Parañaque Cities- the "Bay City" the newest hub like BGC and Makati but with Manila Bay in the background
      8.Manila City- actually my favorite.
      I didn't include the most expensive or gated communities because if you're a foreigner and not rich in the U.S or Europe I don't think you could afford those places as well 😅

    Hi Chad. I never thought before about what you are describing about the dating pool in Manila. I completely see your point. I think it may certainly be a much better place to find a truly more compatible woman for a long-term relationship. Of course it really depends on what you are looking for.

      The best scenario is a filipina raised in the province who then went to a second tier city to work but still retains all of her provincial qualities.
      I do agree that the highest quality women will not date you if you are either over 50 or not in shape.

    You may have found El Nido's locals not very engaging dur to it being primarily a 3-5 day stop over for most visitors. Therefore the businesses etc just want your money and be done with you. Palawan was a lot different when I visited almost 25 years ago, it was a very underdeveloped paradise back then and the locals were very engaging to a westener, as they were flabbergasted that you'd made an effort to visit their very rural existence, which it was back then.

    I used to work as a Sys Admin for a BPO company here in the states that was headquartered in Cebu. I worked a lot of late nights, 1100-0730. I worked hand in hand with Filipina Sys Admins. They all spoke flawless English, but with that lovely accent. They would tell me to move to Cebu/IT Park when I retired. Then COVID hit and I lost track of those ladies. I'm moving to IT Park in the fall '25. Can't wait! I do have a question. Do Filipinas know how to swim? I'm a scuba diver and want my future gf/wife to dive/snorkel with me.

    I'll be living in Manila next year but with my family of four (and a cat). And I don't think I'll be able to afford a three-bedroom condo in BGC, tbh. Some AirBnB monthly deals in Makati are workable, but when I've searched for something long-term in FB Marketplace, the prices I see are a bit crazy in my opinion. Then again, I'm from Spain, so anything over $1500 is ridiculous from my standpoint.
    Of course, I may be mistaken, but it doesn't seem the case from here, especially when everyone says the real deals are in the Marketplace... and I don't see them at all.
    So, I'll probably end up in a townhouse in some subdivision in the farther cities, Parañaque, Quezon, maybe even Antipolo, who knows. And those don't look like BGC or Makati at all, lol.
    All this said I'm quite grateful you've done this video. I think Manila gets too much bad rep. I've been in Cebu sometimes and I agree it feels a bit 'provincial' after some time, as if everything modern are islands of their own.

      Safety was not an issue for me at all it's actually pretty cool there and really close walking over the bridge to BGC. As far as Wi-Fi my experience is it's hit or miss everywhere in the Philippines from big cities to small towns. It'll come down to the hotel or Airbnb owner and what service they have set up some of them have the cheap modem and service others have the more expensive option you have to check on that before booking. Unfortunately even in those cases sometimes the Internet is running slow. It really just depends.

    You present as the true western man I know. He is his own person and looking for a woman he can relate to in so many ways. Not a giggling filipina who has no life experience other than learning the ropes to find a western man who will look after her and her family. Is there anything wrong with that...........absolutely no..........she will find him and the relationship will work as they are both leaning in the same lifestyle. The other guys, younger and more alert to the type of woman that will be a better match for him. The Philippines can provide all that western men desire.

    Be careful in believing the narrative of women . I would be concerned that an attractive 25-30 year old woman has been run through by lots of guys and is now seeking a partner only because the biological clock is ticking and she’s burned out. I asked a 33 year old woman about that who admitted she had been partying since 18. Most women will just lie though.
    So the younger you can go, the less chance she’s been run through. I think 18-21 is better and find a virgin if possible. The problem with BGC is that the girls there are successful and don’t want an old foreigner so you will have to find a girl from wider Manila who will of course be happy to live with you in BGC.

      I don’t get the impression you do. In fact, I get the opposite impression. I believe Chad is on a personal adventure exploring the Philippines and learning the differences in its cities and provinces as well as the type of women in them. I believe Chad is honest with any woman he dates and doesn’t even date every place he goes. A playboy is often dishonest and tries to date as many women as possible and has no concern for their feelings. I don’t think Chad is that way. Of course I could be wrong and maybe Chad is a playboy. But, if I could be wrong, then you could be wrong too. To me, your logic is flawed. Your logic is that because Chad isn’t showing us a serious relationship he hasn’t had one AND because he hasn’t had one he is a Playboy. That is faulty in two ways. First, He may have had or may have a serious relationship: just because he doesn’t show it to us doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one. Second, even if he hasn’t had a serious relationship that doesn’t mean he is playing around. He could simply not have met the right one yet and may not be looking very hard anyway because he is traveling around so much. Though it is possible that you are correct and Chad is hiding his devious personal life from us, I don’t think you have evidence to support that. This means you are likely just a Troll.

    Money is not the "only" thing, but it is the first requirement a male must meet. Just as for men the first requirement a woman must meet is beauty. Men don't ask women out they don't find attractive. Women won't give males a chance without first meeting the money requirement. A "foreigner" in PH already meets the money requirement. This business of saying its not ONLY about the money is dishonest. Even for actual gold diggers it isn't ONLY about the money. Kind of sick of hearing this ONLY about the money crap.
    This Nick's Filipina thing. OK, super, she has a great job and can take of herself. So Nick doesn't have to worry about her or take care of her family. OK. But is that what Nick wants? Because it was sounding like she wanted to take care of Nick and have Nick lead. WTF does that mean? Sounds to me like it means her quitting her job and being with Nick. Sooooo doesn't that mean she won't be taking care of herself and it will be on Nick to financially care for her and her family. Not seeing the big upside here. In fact since she knows a higher standard of living I'd assume she's going to expect more from Nick than say a province girl who has never been to a Jollibee. Sounds kind of all mixed up and some delusion going on. Not saying she isn't a great Filipina and they won't be happy. Just the logic.
