    Here my experience, I met girl on Christian Filipina, after talking to her for two months, I decided to visit her in CDO we spent a month together, I thought she was the right on for me, I met her family they been married for 30 yrs, So i thought she was the one for me , When i went back to the states, 4 months latter she met another foreigner in Palawan, And he tag her on face book when she went back to CDO, I saw here on his face book, I confronted him and he told me he slept with her, beware of all dating sites

    I met my girlfriend on Christian Filipina. They try to eliminate fake profiles for the most part, but some get through still. You STILL have to be careful on it. However, this service has gone FAR MORE out of their way to make sure I am finding a real person with real intentions. If you pay for it, there is a service that they have to meet them in video chat to make sure they are who they say they are. And, they ask questions that foreigners wouldn't think to ask to make sure that the girl isn't a call girl, has children they didn't disclose, or are in a relationship already with someone else. It's an OUTSTANDING dating service! My girlfriend is exactly who I would want to meet in real life, and I intend to do so in the new year as soon as it is possible for her to have a vacation (important to consider before spending money to fly out there if she can't see you because she's working so hard!).

  • @BrianTX409

    If you're not video chatting with the person you met online, then that's on you for not doing your own reconnaissance. Also, if you didn't ask all the questions on your check list, and still met her and it didn't work out, surprise, that one's on you as well.

    I feel meeting in person is always best. At least you know exactly with whom you are speaking. I view all of the dating sites as more for entertainment purposes. I think most of the female profiles are working some angle to obtain financial gain. There must be a lot of simps sending money based on so many females online running that game. Happy New Year to Chad & all of the subscribers!

  • @TheDarrenO
    @TheDarrenO 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    No, the whole purpose of Christian Filipina is to make money. It's a business pure and simple as is evidenced by their pay structure for members, nearly a hundred dollars a month. It's a scam and you can absolutely meet a quality Filipina. Just come here and visit, travel around and meet people. Take that hundred dollars a month you spend on CF and put it towards your travel fund. Most of these guys that are promoting CF are getting free memberships in exchange for their talking up the platform.

    • @paulcanfield4157

      Not everyone feels confident approaching a woman. It also allows men to meet women that are a mix of province and city. Meeting a traditional province girl's family can be tough culturally if just after a few dates you realize there's nothing between you and the gal and now she has to explain to everyone why you're gone. As well there's always the gossip and her reputation to be considered. Chatting for a week or two will allow a lot of those really important questions to get answered. If those align then you can plan the meetup.
      A great topic/question is her expectations, ask her if she prefers western dating or courting. This can help paint a picture of how to approach her respectfully, because even a guy like myself can be turned down with too forward of an approach.
      It also allows a man to have multiple options in case any are fake, which is still possible on CF. Going online opens you up to the most amount of women who are most likely single, and they claim to vet the women, as far as to the extent of the vetting process I can't say. This also gives a less practiced man the chance to work on his communication with Filipinas.
      For the women, if they're not confident with their verbal English they have the chance to better express themselves and time to think of a better response without the pressure of being in person. It is also safer for them as well as they get to do a limited amount of vetting the foreigner with their own questions.
      The biggest and most important reason is finding a woman of similar faith. If you're a godless heathen then sure it's not the site for you. Denominations are often as different as religions. I have made friends with many amazing JWs, LDS, and 7thDA and am still friends but would never date the women of those denominations because our Biblical views are so contrarian it would be an unequal yoking.
      And to your first point I disagree. If the whole purpose was to make money then they wouldn't go niche but be very broad with their target audience. You obviously haven't read any of the information they have on their site to make a generalized statement that is a complete misrepresentation of the values espoused by them. Missionaries have to raise money to live while on the mission field, but their purpose is to spread the Gospel and love on people. Having dual purposes doesn't negate the other.

      I’m surprised by their pricing. I did some on-line with Bumble here in America and it’s $8/m
      Personally I don’t understand LDR. Texting for endless conversation seems dumb. Anything more than a day and you need to meet face to face if you are doing this with intention as opposed to loneliness or whatever.

    I really enjoy your content when sharing your experiences off the beaten path. Regarding my experience on the dating Sites: I see a lot of the vloggers promoting CF, like yours they all have the link 'up front' in the description... you should state up front if you do/don't have a financial affiliation, cause appearances suggest you do (oh, I see you pinned CF in your comments with affiliate link, I guess that clarifies things well enough). My experience on the CF site was still lots of girls asking for money, about the same as FCupid. I agree they (CF) do what they can to confirm ID but that didn't seem to improve the percentage of girls 'following the formula' and asking for dough. NOTE: Your mileage may vary.

    I prefer meeting and getting to know someone online before I visit them in person. Meeting people in person is difficult especially for a relatively shy man. In a big city, the Filipinas take foreigners for granted. The province girls appreciate you more. I met my province girlfriend online first and spent a year to know her online before I met her. I spent 3 weeks in my Filipina’s province, I only saw and met one other foreigner. I have been learning Tagalog and Ilocanos. The people like it when you are learning their language.
    I didn’t meet my girlfriend through Christian Filipina. I just met her on Facebook. It was very difficult to meet real women without bumping into some scammers. If I was trying to meet new women, I think I would give Christian Filipina try.

    Chad I agree 100%. I explored way off the beaten path by motorcycle in Bohol/Negros/Leyte. People were friendly, all wanted to say Hello and even get pictures with me. Married men and women were sociable, single women were very nervous, even if their English was good. They would look, giggle and talk with their friends, but not with me. You are correct, if you love a certain area and settle there, you will meet people who know single women and once you prove your worth as a stand up guy things will happen, but very slowly. If you date a province girl, many will be jealous, and if you then break up with her, she will be destroyed by the haters, including her own family. Social media and FB have made this so much worse, there is no freedom in the province. I think best to meet on line and then go visit, at least that is my present strategy and I am heading to Mindanao very soon. Cam

    Great insights and a very informative video Chad. Thank you! After 16 months in Davao City, I continue to be amazed at the communication challenges for a foreigner here in the PH. It goes way beyond just the language. Filipinas have a culturally different communication style from the West (indirect, shy, etc). I met my girlfriend on the sidewalk in Davao (what you see is what you get). To be honest, because of communication break-downs, it's a miracle that we're still together... and her English is more than capable. What are your thoughts about Dipolog with regards to home base possibilities? The boardwalk looks very nice!

You can notice them with their little assertiveness on your first meeting, shy but a little assertive. You know they like you when you invite them for the second time and they accept your invitation for a coffee, or a walk. It will take at least a week or 2 for them to feel comfortable with you. Filipinas are usually giggly at the first and second meeting because they are very conscious about their English so they giggle instead of talking or look at you when you are not looking at them...LOL..

    I want to set the record straight. I did my undergrad at the University of Indiana. I wanted to do further education at Notre Dame but I couldn’t afford it. They wanted $60,000 US per year. So I talked to the Navy recruiting office and they agreed to pay my university costs at Notre Dame if I gave the Navy 4 years. So at the U.S. Navy’s expense, I completed my Masters and PHD at Notre Dame. I then entered the Navy and completed 4 years service. In the Navy, I worked in the area of hospital health care administration. I was 30 when I left the Navy and walked straight into a hospital CEO job in Chicago. From there I spent 25 years working as a hospital CEO and President in places like India, Hong Kong, Bangkok (2 different stints over 6 years), Manila (2 years) and Phnom Penh. I finished up my career in Dubai and retired from there in September 2022 (my Filipino girlfriend Sheila is still there as she works as a police officer there and has done so for 6 years). My next hospital posting after Chicago was in 2008 to a hospital in Cambodia. I was offered Jersey City and Cambodia. When I arrived in Cambodia in 2008, there was only 4 paved roads. Somehow in the late 1990’s, I also first visited Cambodia. At that time there were only 2 paved roads. I spent one year there then. Also, somehow despite being in Cambodia, I still managed in the 6 years up to 2010 to work as hospital CEO and President at a hospital in Bangkok (before transferring to Hua Hin). I earned $500,000 US for this and my apartment was 1,200 square feet and only cost $300 which my employer paid for. I get confused about this but the hospital had between 16,000 and 100,000 employees. Between 2008 and 2010, there was political unrest between the redshirts and the yellowshirts. Supporters of the military blocked access to the hospital and demanded money from people trying to enter the hospital. I arranged that over $1,000,000 was paid to allow people to enter the hospital. Then a reporter from the Bangkok Post came to see me. I expressed my frustrations to them. Then the next day, I was featured in a front page article in the Bangkok Post. As a result of this I was arrested and taken to jail. I had never had so much as a parking ticket before this. I was initially put into a cell with about 40 others. I still don’t mind pooping in a bucket because of this experience. I was then put in a cell with a notorious Russian arms dealer, Viktor Bout (even though I know him personally, I pronounce his name as ‘bowt’ when everyone else, including him, pronounces it ‘boot’). Vicktor is known as the Merchant of Death. I spent 21 or 22 days total in the Thai prison and in that time I went from weighing 240 pounds to 182 pounds. I wouldn’t have minded the diet of rice and cucumber soup but I hate cucumbers. The US Government then arranged my release and a one-day visa for Cambodia. After travelling from Survarnabhumi to Phnom Penh, I returned to the US where the first thing I did was eat some Taco Bell. The Thai government blacklisted me from visiting Thailand but this was lifted after several years and I have returned several times since. After my Taco Bell, I didn’t stay long in the US as I had a hospital CEO placement at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong. I was in Hong Kong from 2010 to 2012. I had a car there but could only drive it to work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays due to the vehicle having red registration plates. I had to catch public transport the other days. Parking fees were more per month than my condo cost me when I lived in Dumaguete. I get a bit confused but when I lived in Hong Kong, I either had a 250 square foot, 1 bedroom apartment which cost $4,000 US per month or a 376 square foot, 1 bedroom apartment which cost $3,000 per month. During the 2012 to 2022 year period, I worked in the other places I have earlier mentioned. I also visited mainland China on and off for 6 years. In 2021, I spent 9 months in Cambodia, 2 in Phnom Penh and 7 in Siem Reap. I bought a Honda CRV when I was there which I had to get the windows tinted to the darkest tint as I kept getting targeted in a made up offence scam by the corrupt Cambodian Police. My fluent Khmer was of no use when trying to get out of paying the police fines. I only lost a few hundred bucks when I sold that Honda. I still have a car stashed away in Dumaguete which I will have to deal with upon my return to the Philippines. That will be after the college football season. I think the Crimson Tide are back and a sure thing.

      Yesterday when I was providing you all with my consolidated study/work/life history, someone with the username Talk About the Passion commented and asked me to provide more information about my studies and naval career. I apologise but the comment seemed to have disappeared from TH-cam. That seems to happen on my TH-cam channel sometimes. There really is not much to tell you. I did my Masters and PHD at the University of Notre Dame which was paid for by the U.S.Navy. This was done on the proviso that I serve at least four years with the Navy. Well that is what I did. I served in the area of healthcare administration. After my four years, I left the Navy honourably. I could have re-enlisted. The Navy definitely wanted me to. But because of the good name I was getting in the healthcare industry, I was able to transition straight into the private sector. I went straight into a hospital CEO role in Chicago which set me on my highly successful career in the private health care sector which wound up in September 2022 in Dubai when I retired. I was 30 when I got my hospital CEO job in Chicago. When I left the Navy I had reached the rank of Lieutenant. I really do not mind if you refer to me as Lieutenant Paul D Cardwell (Ret.). I also hope you all note that my beloved Fighting Irish gave Oregon State a thrashing in the Sun Bowl. The score was 40 to 8. If I had not been so busy at Notre Dame doing my Masters and PHD, I would have tried out for the football team.

    So everyone will have different experiences online. For the most part if you live in America and you are trying to meet woman online it is not likely to work out. There may be initial interest there but if you are not going to the Philippines for 6 months or a year or more you will quickly run out of subjects to talk about and the conversations will fade. If it worked out for you, you would have a girlfriend already and not still be looking.
    I can see using a service like CF if you are in the Philippines but not long distance in your home country. By the way, CF let me use their service for a month and it was very disappointing. As soon as woman realized they could communicate directly with me I was getting bombed with conversation and video requests. Sadly, for as much as CF does what they can to filter out the fake profiles, they still are on there. I would say literally 7 out of 10 woman immediately asked me to send them money which I simply blocked.
    Now come on Chad, you are definitely getting reimbursed by CF for you promoting them. You should at least be transparent about this matter.

      It all went great! Crazy that I was on the site for so long, but, you know....some people don't get true true extra income until later in life where they can travel, etc.

How much money did you send these woman with every excuse in the book? And you are talking to a 19 year old and you think she is interested in you for anything other than a passport and your money?
      Oh it went great did it? I guarantee you forked over a lot of money and unless you can work remotely you are going to have to bring her back here which is a foolish thing to do. Seriously sir what a joke. You are going to be on some TH-cam video “don’t let this happen to you.” I’m telling you, you are going to lose everything. Don’t bring her back here you don’t know anything about her. She probably has a few boyfriends back in the Philippines that you help support with the money you waste on her.
      What’s the matter? Can’t find a woman in your home country? Sad.
      Sir, can you get a 19 year old girl here? No you can’t. You can’t get any woman here. If you can’t get a 19 year old girl here what makes you think you can keep this one? In 10 years she will be 29 and still in her prime. You will be 51. Do you really think she is going to stay with you? Nope. She is going to find someone her own age and you are going to fund her new lifestyle.

The "fishing" there was far and away better than any other island in the PH.. I was a bull in a china shoppe. LOL. The lovely east coast road through Tandag and Bislig, down to Boston, and Mati, was foreigner free except for me. GenSan was ok, but million+ Zamboanga City stole the show. My advice ever since is, go there! Rent a decent room in a downtown hotel building and start passing out your "calling card" to every honey who stirs your kettle. Its pretty much totally safe in the city from you know who's. You can thank me later Dudes.
