Never has there been a more true video. Well, I was married for 17 years, province girl, turned banker, well educated in the province. While i was focusing on building joint wealth, saving all i could, she was focused on saving for her family and her. People will say well you should of watched more of the assetts. Well after so many years you would think they would have the joint mindset, but in the back of thelr mind it is them and their family's wealth, you are just along for the ride. Usually when your life runs out of gas or is no use to them, then sorry you dont fit with the program anymore. So after 17 years she has multiple properties and a mercedes. And I am back to the trailer. Wish I would of heard this video 20 years ago
This is more true than you guys know. We live in arguably the most prominate subdivision in Naga City. Our neighbor has gone through 1 husband and 4 boyfriends to complete the house she built. Fast forward the house is done her nice 7/11 style store in town is open and doing well. The family is well fed and as Mark said Filipinas are planners you will never be part of the equation.
What do you think is the hidden agenda of a very young poor village girl why she put up with an old cranky white man????? You used her youth to boost your ego, and she used your $$$s for herself and her family. Love between a very young poor girl and an old white man doesn‘t exist in reality, it is an illusion.
@@graciamaryakelley7805 And you are so right. If the man is stupid enough to put himself in that position without doing his due diligence he deserves exactly what he gets.
Enjoyed your perspective. You sound like you have a military background. You mentioned that your comments were not just focused for those dating/marrying Filipino ladies. I agree. I served 30 years in the Navy and then joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 4 years in Iraq working on community infrastructure projects in such places as Fallujah, Ramadi and suburbs of Baghdad (not the Green Zone). At age 59, I decided I'd had enough and retired to a quiet beach in Thailand. After five months in Pattaya, I met a 28-year-old lady who was working at a streetside noodle stand, married her six months later, our son arrived two years after that, and we've been together now over 12 years. Because of our age difference I have a little different perspective than you. I realize my life expectancy is probably another 10 to 15 years, so my priority is making sure my wife and son have some security after I'm gone. My wife is basically a village girl (no college) but I don't mind her saying, my money is her money and she pays all the bills. We bought three different plots in her name, one focused on rubber tree production, a second filled with palm oil trees, the third rasbutin fruit trees. As long as I'm alive we have good income from my military retirement as well as social security, and my son gets a social security check as well. Just like you said, my wife is an awesome cook, she does the laundry, the cleaning. We hire a crew to do lawn care and trim the shrubs. My job is washing the dishes and emptying the garbage. My son has autism and when we decided her hometown school was unable to help him, it was my wife who did the research and made the decision we needed to move hundreds of miles away to get him enrolled in a special school focused on his needs. It was a true blessing and our son made such progress he is now enrolled in a Christian school in that same community functioning in a normal classroom. Anyway, agree with you about each of us needs to ensure the husband/wife/children are all doing their part to support/strengthen the family castle. I'm also sure that in my case going back stateside would be a total disaster -- my wife has friends/family here in Thailand and those people are fundamental to her happiness. Truly enjoyed your presentation and the way you communicated your points in a simple/common man perspective. First time I've seen your blog. and I immediately hit the like button and subscribed. Well done.
Great conversation bro 😎 Got me a beautiful young Province girl myself, lived right there in Angeles City back 15 years ago, have children and couldn’t be happier.
The smartest and most intelligent vlog I’ve ever heard on TH-cam. You will you bring out the difference between career woman and village woman who are just trying to get by. Much respect and thanks to you Marcos.
Brother Mark. You have hit the ball out of the park on your last few practical advice videos. I too have allowed a Filipina to run game on me. Fortunately it didn’t cost too much but it sure did hurt. My advice to newbie’s; develop a game plan and keep your head on a swivel while keeping one hand on your wallet.
"When nobody is looking she's over at the buffet stuffing shrimp in her purse....." spit the ice tea out of my mouth all over the floor! Best laugh I've had in weeks. Took my village girl to an Xmas party....thankfully she wasn't that bad. No real issues because she could speak English, was social, and had great fashion sense...but she didn't own any of the clothing, had to buy her outfit from head to toe.
I know its off topic, but you are absolutely right at 9:44. I just dropped my girl off at school and am sitting at my favorite Mexican restaurant eating some breakfast tacos thinking how blessed I am; able to take my daughter to school each and every morning. Was a time when this was impossible.
Thank you for this video. Thank you for educating our viewers. Very well said with humor. Fatima was a good sport bless her heart. She’s so lucky you chose her! 👍🏽😎
Thank you for wake up call about your subject. for me it is about never lose sight of your money. Stay in control. Hope the family is all doing well safe and healthy 👍🙏💪
"I have no education I have inspiration. If I would have been educated I would have been a damn fool"- Bob Marley . A hard working country girl with a good dose of common sense works for me.😎🌴👍🏼
Married the Physical Therapist...we met in the US.....she is an amazing wife and mother. Even as a professional that grew up in the Philippines she has some province girl stories and experiences for sure. One plus with professionals...is less family asking for money usually. But I'm working and our age between me and wife is not far apart. If i was a older guy retired I'd probably get the girl not a professional so we could travel easier possibly. If don't plan to travel months at a time the professional Filipinas are great women.
There is a loot of wisdom in your words. I marry Philippina that work in a bank. I love to watch your videos even before i come to Philippines. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 🙂
I have been in country now for 6+ years. Have a partner for 3+. She is educated and has a career. It is a good thing. The more education she has the more open she is to not having children. She is also more open to not letting the family be the prime financial driver in her life. The families here can suck you dry and just leave the husk behind when they move on to the next target. My requirements were: No kids. Past, present, or future. Real job. Economically stable family. Passport that has been used. We must live in the PI. College educated. No marriage. No allowance. Family support is emergency only. It has worked really well so far.
I like your requirements. I have similar requirements with some listed. My requirements: 1. No kids with her past relationships. We shall have max 1 kid if relocating her to my country due to high cost of living. 2. Preferably someone working in same industry as me 3. She is willing to relocate and we work together in building a family 4. College educated 5. Family support is emergency only (I expect her to support her family with her own salary if she is working while I focus in the house bills and monthly expenses.) *Her family wise is something I feel is uncontrollable. I accept the fact that no one is perfect. She may have good job while born in poor family. If given a choice, I do hope they are economically stable.
@@Noniksleft Actually , not all do want kids . Education is the key. The poorly educated have kids to try to ensure their own financial future. The parents push the "family first" ideology in order to be able to extract resources from their children when they are adults. A built in retirement plan.
@@mrb-6118 Obviously I over generalized, but it would be a very small percentage that truly don't ever want to have a child, especially when they have a man that can provide a good level of comfort.
Bro thank you for this well thought out video. Great info, worth watching twice to get into my thick skull. A lot of men are conflicted but certainly don’t think of their interests first
Hey Mark I’m your followers for many years I’ve been watching your blogs everyday, anyway I’m Filipina and used to be a banker in Makati The Fort and I moved in the US continue my banking career but I stopped working and gave up my career for my two kids so I disagree in what you said … I’m a good wife and good mother …my future plan is to help my husband and we are both working together when my kids is in school ..
I have the best of both worlds I guess.I married a banker girl from the province but you can’t take the province out of the girl completely so I see both sides
Your lady is so funny when you say different things about village or country girls, I think you should feature an episode where you get her opinions on camera, its great infotainment
My woman is inbetween. From the province but had several jobs and been abroad working. She moved here to Sweden 5 years ago, first 2 years she go to school learning swedish, then we had our daughter and covid came so we where just at home together. Now she have started working and Im a stay at home dad. We sent he youngest brother to school and he is now graduating as police (but its cheap since deuterte made collage "free"). The good thing for me that she is working is that she will send her money, when we go vaccation she will pay for her ticket. She still do most things she used to apart from taking care of the kid. The "bad" is that I had to stop smoking and cut down on drinking. Its hard to know what the future actually will become, but since we have a kid and our age differance is only 12 years I think we will be together until she retires(cant earn more money) and might want to move back to Philippines. Sadly I cant move there, my medicin is 150 dollar a year here in Sweden, but in Philippines it would be 1100 dollar a month.
Marco, should have told me this 2 months ago. BTW, I know you are fond of Colombia. Having been in relationship with a Colombian for > 1.5 decade with a child, I can tell you that Colombians think exactly like a Filipina village girl. After multiple K1 visas and a marriage, my wife flat out told me that she will send her money back to Colombia when she gets her green card and paycheck. Our child’s college tuition, getting a better home for us, etc. were not even remotely part of her future plan.
Being from Boston, Massachusetts most of my life,I’d marry someone with a bachelor degree or higher or a Filipina who has a job away from her family I prefer independent Filipinas over traditional, provincial Filipinas. I had a Filipina girlfriend from antipolo city and she was fine, but she couldn’t get a job for 4 years before the pandemic started.
Watch it you have a smart one there and one day she may act on it :) Don't you not think she wants things to. As I sit here and watch her reactions to your comments, I and others see her wants. Her objectives are the same as the banker the difference you can control her whereas the banker no way for you!! You want someone you can control!!
Awesome video brother stay strong and God bless. Mark your and I have traveled the same path. South America, Korea, Thailand and soon the Philippines. I agree with rhis subject 100%. STAY STEOMG BROTHER.
I guess all that matters is what works for you …… I have been through out Asia so I do understand your relationship but I believe it’s so hard to get the love of their family they look at you like a commodity so extremely hard to have that father mother in law love ……the connection is hard same with her brother sister. But you get a A+ as a loving father. Your relationship with your wife is your business and not up for debate sometimes a simple woman is a great solution to trust and it always wonderful that they look up to you stay your way cowboy
I really admire you guys so much some time I watched you TH-cam I laughed and laughed the way make your stories is good and funny too ,so you need to married her she's a very humble lovely loyalty person
I ❤️ Fatima! She’s not an ambitious woman! She may want a house which is what everyone desires but I am sure she is content as long as her family is happy and they’re okay..
I had the LDR with a chat mate, on my first in-person visit I left her a new laptop, installed was a spy ware and I could follow her key strokes. She had 3 other men looking at her.
My man Marco's, that's the best explanation I ever heard about the difference between city or province girl. I live in a state where we have over 200,000 filipino people whether 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation and that puts alot of shit in perspective. Aloha Big G
Awesome vid, I think I'll keep stay single and enjoy coming to South East Asia to chase local beauties once a year and in the meanwhile going to Austria on pay day
I've known a lot of guys over the years that like to argue with their women, I am not sure what that is all about, because I don't like to fight and I think it sets a bad example for kids. But on the other hand, I don't like someone trying to take advantage of me. So, I think Marcos is right, you have to be picky and not feel guilty about looking out for number one.
Such a refreshing video your wife is so cool she's giving you it back, love her reactions, she obviously will get you back😂😂😂 I realise it's different to say how it is especially when your lady is sitting next to you but she's really delightful to watch, don't forget to try an explain why you did this ..she's so funny but honest in her reactions...go girl your maganda ka🤗❤️
😄🤣 I love fatima sis she is so funny when you told her about the shrimp 😂 she forgot that she is front of the camera and marcos making a video 🤣 . I love this family
Fatima can learn English from u if she just listen to u talk that’s how I learn mine.l was from the village and I only have 8 grade education.When I arrive in the US I only speak a few words in English.At the beginning I have a hard time understanding my late husband because he has that strong southern accent.I learn a lot from him specially filing my own taxes.Even now I still continue learning English because I don’t speak perfectly but l can get by
@Anne B, you are Phillipina right? Fatima really doesn't look happy with the way he's talking, she understands so much, bit looks miserable. Can you explain what's going on with her? Thanks, just trying to understand.
Very well thought out video, 100% accurate if you want a happy life just follow these simple suggestions and you may hit the jackpot in relationships, also best to marry a girl 5/8 years younger then you, especially if you live in a western country. Once a woman goes through the change, your sex life is pretty much over, at least in SEA there are options and alternatives, I really miss SEA as an older guy.
I am currently working in the finance industry, had some internship in banks when I was still studying for degree. In my opinion, I feel I would have more connection and common topics to talk about with a banker rather than village girl, including common life goals and mutual understanding in long hours work commitment. Therefore, I would prefer to pursue a banker rather than a village girl. Would be interested to see what other viewers think.
Its all about what you like. That is why i liked his video so much. He explained a lot of the differences and then you make the decision based upon what you want.
This myth is fascinating - that a man should marry a copy of himself. My husband and I connected with boom boom three times a day. We did motorcycle trips. Camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, etc. We had children right away and they are the primary nexus for us every day of the week. I did physical therapy for his mother every day after she had a stroke. I give him hour long massages most days. Take your pick: talking about net present value on a capital project and someone's loan amortization... or a thick prime rib steak dinner, and a massage followed by sex. My husband is a three time state and midwest USA champion fighter. A performance musician. I don't do either of those things. He wasn't looking for an MMA fighter for a wife. He wanted a girl who would homeschool his children. Our kids were reading by age 2 because I taught them. By age 9 both tested college level reading. But I'm just a village girl without college. The 12 year old is registered for the SAT on December 2. He already broke the meter on the local University's placement exams. He's been admitted to the engineering program. His scholarship will depend on the SAT score. Why do I know about net present value and loan amortizations, balance sheets, income statements, statement of retained earnings, ROI, debt to net worth, price/earnings, etc.? Because my husband started teaching me after the kids gained self-sufficiency in their studies. Two things I know about you: first, you don't view people as capable of learning. They are like lifeless lumps of clay, stuck in whatever shape you meet them with. So a "village" girl isn't capable of learning anything. Conversely, the second thing I know about you: the inability to properly lay a wife.
@@amylee6038 that is fascinating. I’m someone who is from the city, working in tech and wants to marry a village girl who homeschools the children. Lots to take from this, but ultimately it is that your woman is malleable and a vessel, how you shape her and what knowledge you fill in her comes down to what you value and your effort.
@@redman6790 Good for you. We can't make the mistake of conflating "education" with intelligence. You do want a smart girl. You can determine that just by interacting with her. To be a "banker", meaning someone with a college degree and who has moved up beyond entry level work... you are talking about someone ten years older than me when I married my husband. And that's cool if you like geriatric sex I guess.
Thanks Marco I appreciate your words and your wisdom that is gained from experience. I really admire your communication skills. Automobile worker on the line Toronto Ontario Canada.
A banker would be a closed book know-it-all but a village girl is open and can learn. So. I guess it boils down to whether you want a boring bean counter or someone who likes to explore life.
Let me culturally educate you close-minded little minded morons. Do you know what a true Scot wears under his kilt? Your girlfriends, your wives, your sisters, and probably your mother's lipstick.
Well you, definitely made some good points, and just as you said the career-oriented Filipinas work with some ex-pats. I on the other hand in the exact situation where my girlfriend has worked her job for 15+ years and is the breadwinner of her family and have no intentions of moving around to different parts of the Philippines as I intend to do. Needless to say, our relationship was on borrowed time and we both agreed to a mutual breakup with no hard feelings. FYI: In more cases than not if you take her away from supporting her family guess who that falls on? Yes, you. Thank you for your real-life video as it relates to working vs non-working Filipinas. I look forward to your next 📹.
I married a Filipina farm country girl , She’s the best wife, care giver , lover, best friend always happy go lucky.

This makes no sense. You claim you were "focusing" on saving for 17 years. Sounds like the same focus Haystack Calhoun put into dieting.
What do you think is the hidden agenda of a very young poor village girl why she put up with an old cranky white man????? You used her youth to boost your ego, and she used your $$$s for herself and her family.
Love between a very young poor girl and an old white man doesn‘t exist in reality, it is an illusion.
@@graciamaryakelley7805 And you are so right. If the man is stupid enough to put himself in that position without doing his due diligence he deserves exactly what he gets.
I wasnt a cranky white man, I was 32 and she was 25. You seem to be so confident you know everyone's situation.

Nice read, nice to see so many things work out for the better and that you can pave a path of inclusion and happiness!
Nailed it, my friend! I married two bankers, wasted my youth, blew lots of jingle. Now, at 74, living in Colombia, you opened my eyes. Thank you.
Great conversation bro 😎 Got me a beautiful young Province girl myself, lived right there in Angeles City back 15 years ago, have children and couldn’t be happier.
Great video! Telling it like it is!
I have no time for anyone giving advice that has never been out of their own country.
Thanks!
village girl will raise your kids
banker will hire a nanny
There are also village girls who are banker wannabes', just see the other Angeles blogger's wife and their lifestyle.
The smartest and most intelligent vlog I’ve ever heard on TH-cam. You will you bring out the difference between career woman and village woman who are just trying to get by. Much respect and thanks to you Marcos.
Brother Mark. You have hit the ball out of the park on your last few practical advice videos. I too have allowed a Filipina to run game on me. Fortunately it didn’t cost too much but it sure did hurt. My advice to newbie’s; develop a game plan and keep your head on a swivel while keeping one hand on your wallet.
King you are one of the best at coming up with these interesting topics.
This will be fun and interesting to watch!
Time spent with children is never wasted @9:48 You are blessed my friend!

Village Girl vs. Banker - Which Filipina Should You Marry? The last one standing when the fight is over? Lol...
🤔Thanks brother, sometimes thinking with the big head, vice your little buddy, will save you headaches and money later on. Cheers Semper Fi

The more education she has the more open she is to not having children. She is also more open to not letting the family be the prime financial driver in her life. The families here can suck you dry and just leave the husk behind when they move on to the next target.

Great vids mate. Look forward everyday to your vlogs very entertaining
I have the best of both worlds I guess.I married a banker girl from the province but you can’t take the province out of the girl completely so I see both sides
Love the realness of todays show. That is one of the main reason I absolutely watch you everyday.
Wow...what a vlog. I usually like to see more action in a vlog...but everytime I want to change a comment got me to watch further
I admire your love and patience with your family!
my first wife thai didn't know how to use a flush toilet,or a washing machine or microwave when we first meet.
Nice one bro,drinking coka cola coke in the hauz!
Your lady is so funny when you say different things about village or country girls, I think you should feature an episode where you get her opinions on camera, its great infotainment
Great discussion King Marcos! I definitely agree with what you said… it all depends on the life circumstances!
My woman is inbetween. From the province but had several jobs and been abroad working. She moved here to Sweden 5 years ago, first 2 years she go to school learning swedish, then we had our daughter and covid came so we where just at home together.

The "bad" is that I had to stop smoking and cut down on drinking.
Its hard to know what the future actually will become, but since we have a kid and our age differance is only 12 years I think we will be together until she retires(cant earn more money) and might want to move back to Philippines. Sadly I cant move there, my medicin is 150 dollar a year here in Sweden, but in Philippines it would be 1100 dollar a month.
Marco, should have told me this 2 months ago. BTW, I know you are fond of Colombia. Having been in relationship with a Colombian for > 1.5 decade with a child, I can tell you that Colombians think exactly like a Filipina village girl. After multiple K1 visas and a marriage, my wife flat out told me that she will send her money back to Colombia when she gets her green card and paycheck. Our child’s college tuition, getting a better home for us, etc. were not even remotely part of her future plan.
Typical third world mindset
Well, as long as she keeps shoveling out the punani...............................f' it!!! Literally!!!!
Being from Boston, Massachusetts most of my life,I’d marry someone with a bachelor degree or higher or a Filipina who has a job away from her family I prefer independent Filipinas over traditional, provincial Filipinas.

Watch it you have a smart one there and one day she may act on it :) Don't you not think she wants things to. As I sit here and watch her reactions to your comments, I and others see her wants. Her objectives are the same as the banker the difference you can control her whereas the banker no way for you!! You want someone you can control!!
What's wrong with that. We been control for years
He who holds the gold is king, it's good to be king.
I love the way U put the day shift & the night shift in play!
Awesome video brother stay strong and God bless. Mark your and I have traveled the same path.
South America, Korea, Thailand and soon the Philippines. I agree with rhis subject 100%. STAY STEOMG BROTHER.
I think The King might be sleeping out in the dog house after this video. Fatima's expressions are priceless. She is a good mother and wife.
Ya think? LoL 😆
I guess all that matters is what works for you …… I have been through out Asia so I do understand your relationship but I believe it’s so hard to get the love of their family they look at you like a commodity so extremely hard to have that father mother in law love ……the connection is hard same with her brother sister. But you get a A+ as a loving father. Your relationship with your wife is your business and not up for debate sometimes a simple woman is a great solution to trust and it always wonderful that they look up to you stay your way cowboy
100% right on !
Things will work out or not you do the best you can . Life is not easy Adrian haha
Fatima's facial expressions when you were talking are priceless 🤣
I’ll be in AC soon. Hopefully I can meet you and buy ya a beer dude. Your videos are right on!
Later!
Awesome video my friend, I always learn a lot just listen to you speak about real life living in the Philippines.
I was born and raise in the city, and I agree with you. My Filipina wife is from the provinces and she's really great!
I like this guy
He tells it like it's real
I want pretty housewife. And I am happy to make her happy. Girl from the province is best wife! !
I really admire you guys so much some time I watched you TH-cam I laughed and laughed the way make your stories is good and funny too ,so you need to married her she's a very humble lovely loyalty person
I ❤️ Fatima! She’s not an ambitious woman! She may want a house which is what everyone desires but I am sure she is content as long as her family is happy and they’re okay..
I had the LDR with a chat mate, on my first in-person visit I left her a new laptop, installed was a spy ware and I could follow her key strokes. She had 3 other men looking at her.
Thanks King... Great words of advice. Thanks Fatima for sitting in. Cute kids. Enjoy, be well.
Some great points, it just goes to show you... everything in life is a trade off.
Thank you for the laugh but very much on point video
love your sense of humor,, like you tease your wife,,,her reaction is priceless,,,,and your wisdom
My man Marco's, that's the best explanation I ever heard about the difference between city or province girl. I live in a state where we have over 200,000 filipino people whether 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation and that puts alot of shit in perspective.
Aloha
Big G
I chose a province girl....15 years still going strong !
Awesome vid, I think I'll keep stay single and enjoy coming to South East Asia to chase local beauties once a year and in the meanwhile going to Austria on pay day
I've known a lot of guys over the years that like to argue with their women, I am not sure what that is all about, because I don't like to fight and I think it sets a bad example for kids. But on the other hand, I don't like someone trying to take advantage of me.
So, I think Marcos is right, you have to be picky and not feel guilty about looking out for number one.
You have educated me about the culture overseas, as Mamma use to say " U never to old to Learn"!
Well said king 🤴 I agree with you on just about all of it
Such a refreshing video your wife is so cool she's giving you it back, love her reactions, she obviously will get you back😂😂😂 I realise it's different to say how it is especially when your lady is sitting next to you but she's really delightful to watch, don't forget to try an explain why you did this ..she's so funny but honest in her reactions...go girl your maganda ka🤗❤️
Hopefully the People will take Your Advice and it's Very Good Advice in My Opinion because I Understand Completely.
Words of wisdom, thanks for sharing. The interactions between you and your wife were very funny.....Just subscribed.
Both should be only kept as mistresses
Finally a guy that has seen the light. However, it's great that all these others are dreaming of their one true love. It leaves the rest for us.
@@lugerwesson5522 Awesome. I'm not committed to an overweight woman who won't sleep with me and I never got divorce graped.
Great info brother!
Great advice 👍🏼
I'd choose a province village girl 🍀🌴💚
“Charity on one side, a female relationship on the other” . Do not mix the two. The divorce consequences are too huge! Thanks for the thoughts!
100%. This video is focused on marriage, but why would a man that’s looking for peace and freedom put himself through that?
Good stream good humor and education humor is good for the heart cheers
I love your video! Thanks! You The Man!
Good video…. I like your girls attitude. She sees you with caring eyes. Nothing is perfect but hope all the best for you both in the future.
Yep...Plenty of true right here... cheers 🤔
😄🤣 I love fatima sis she is so funny when you told her about the shrimp 😂 she forgot that she is front of the camera and marcos making a video 🤣 . I love this family
Fatima can learn English from u if she just listen to u talk that’s how I learn mine.l was from the village and I only have 8 grade education.When I arrive in the US I only speak a few words in English.At the beginning I have a hard time understanding my late husband because he has that strong southern accent.I learn a lot from him specially filing my own taxes.Even now I still continue learning English because I don’t speak perfectly but l can get by
Late husband? So your single and ready to mingle?
I’m not looking I like being single
@@anneb3170 joke lang ate....
Most women don’t keep their mouth shut to listen for a minute 🤷🏻♂️
@Anne B, you are Phillipina right? Fatima really doesn't look happy with the way he's talking, she understands so much, bit looks miserable. Can you explain what's going on with her? Thanks, just trying to understand.
Very well thought out video, 100% accurate if you want a happy life just follow these simple suggestions and you may hit the jackpot in relationships, also best to marry a girl 5/8 years younger then you, especially if you live in a western country. Once a woman goes through the change, your sex life is pretty much over, at least in SEA there are options and alternatives, I really miss SEA as an older guy.
I just love the caption look at Fatima looking at the king it's a look of love love watching you cannot wait
There ain’t nothing in this world like a Filipina girl…
If you find a Filipina then she find you better keep her…
I like the JD box acting as a desk name plate
I am currently working in the finance industry, had some internship in banks when I was still studying for degree. In my opinion, I feel I would have more connection and common topics to talk about with a banker rather than village girl, including common life goals and mutual understanding in long hours work commitment. Therefore, I would prefer to pursue a banker rather than a village girl. Would be interested to see what other viewers think.
Definitely date an educated middle class girl. Dating an ignorant village girl is like dating an adult with a child-like understanding of the world.
Its all about what you like. That is why i liked his video so much. He explained a lot of the differences and then you make the decision based upon what you want.
This myth is fascinating - that a man should marry a copy of himself. My husband and I connected with boom boom three times a day. We did motorcycle trips. Camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, etc. We had children right away and they are the primary nexus for us every day of the week. I did physical therapy for his mother every day after she had a stroke. I give him hour long massages most days.
Take your pick: talking about net present value on a capital project and someone's loan amortization... or a thick prime rib steak dinner, and a massage followed by sex. My husband is a three time state and midwest USA champion fighter. A performance musician. I don't do either of those things. He wasn't looking for an MMA fighter for a wife. He wanted a girl who would homeschool his children.
Our kids were reading by age 2 because I taught them. By age 9 both tested college level reading. But I'm just a village girl without college. The 12 year old is registered for the SAT on December 2. He already broke the meter on the local University's placement exams. He's been admitted to the engineering program. His scholarship will depend on the SAT score.
Why do I know about net present value and loan amortizations, balance sheets, income statements, statement of retained earnings, ROI, debt to net worth, price/earnings, etc.? Because my husband started teaching me after the kids gained self-sufficiency in their studies.
Two things I know about you: first, you don't view people as capable of learning. They are like lifeless lumps of clay, stuck in whatever shape you meet them with. So a "village" girl isn't capable of learning anything. Conversely, the second thing I know about you: the inability to properly lay a wife.
@@amylee6038 that is fascinating. I’m someone who is from the city, working in tech and wants to marry a village girl who homeschools the children. Lots to take from this, but ultimately it is that your woman is malleable and a vessel, how you shape her and what knowledge you fill in her comes down to what you value and your effort.
@@redman6790 Good for you. We can't make the mistake of conflating "education" with intelligence.
You do want a smart girl. You can determine that just by interacting with her.
To be a "banker", meaning someone with a college degree and who has moved up beyond entry level work... you are talking about someone ten years older than me when I married my husband. And that's cool if you like geriatric sex I guess.
It's just so funny,🤔🙄🙄😳🤨🥴😲😕how Fatima is giving Marcus these crazy looks,🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great information that comes from years of your experience
Yes i agree with you Fatima not all foriegners are rich.
Well put my friend...good job...
Thanks Marco I appreciate your words and your wisdom that is gained from experience. I really admire your communication skills. Automobile worker on the line Toronto Ontario Canada.
A banker would be a closed book know-it-all but a village girl is open and can learn. So. I guess it boils down to whether you want a boring bean counter or someone who likes to explore life.
I bet this dude's a hit at the truck stops in his skirt huh?
@@olegkolc4333 Kilted Trucker
Got nothing better to do than show your ignorance to the whole world?
@@exit61 🚚💃......👈😂
Let me culturally educate you close-minded little minded morons. Do you know what a true Scot wears under his kilt? Your girlfriends, your wives, your sisters, and probably your mother's lipstick.
Aooreciate your perspective about the benefits of a village girl. I think you made a great decision.
Well you, definitely made some good points, and just as you said the career-oriented Filipinas work with some ex-pats. I on the other hand in the exact situation where my girlfriend has worked her job for 15+ years and is the breadwinner of her family and have no intentions of moving around to different parts of the Philippines as I intend to do. Needless to say, our relationship was on borrowed time and we both agreed to a mutual breakup with no hard feelings. FYI: In more cases than not if you take her away from supporting her family guess who that falls on? Yes, you. Thank you for your real-life video as it relates to working vs non-working Filipinas. I look forward to your next 📹.
Fatima is a real Sweetheart ♥️👍🇺🇲
Very true with the selfish topic "Whats in it for me" :)
