Men and women will have experiences if they online date especially if your in the a certain percentile, once you’ve more experienced in dating etc you simply strip down the criteria to the 1%. I personally have had every scenario you can imagine..every single one but as soon as you realise the negative ..move on. The great thing about the phil’s is that for sure if your say a 4 in the states you’ll get a 7 in the phil’s, just don’t settle ..a little naughty but Rob/Chrissy what are you from 1-10 ..always interesting.
It’s like asking, which is the best casino in town until you win. You’ll hate them all, but we met on Filipino Cupid and I think that’s where the majority of people met based on a survey I did so I think I would start there.
I have gotten many new female friends on LinkedIn who claim to be investors or in the make-up and modeling world. I have no interest in any of that. I sell used industrial machinery! They flatter me and say they want to learn from me, etc. Nope! Then they always say, "I don't hang out here much. What is your WhatsApp number? We can chat there. I tell them that i do not own a cell phone (which is true). They can't believe it. And then I block them. I read somewhere that WhatsApp conversations cannot be traced by the NSA, so it is a favorite of scammers.
Great video! We all have baggage from childhood! It's doesn't define you as an individual. On the contrary, you show how you can overcome it and prosper. That's why your channel is popular. You give an honest and unbiased channel. Keep up the good work!
I had a strange experience once with a youtuber I follow. Somehow, someone contacted me on instagram. I follow a youtuber on my IG account, but never communicated with the youtuber. The person said she is the sister of the youtuber. She then wanted to do a video call. I refused. She then sent me a video of herself masturbating. I never asked for her to send anything. She showed her face and everything. And then she wanted me to send money to help her. I never sent anything. I didn't believe her at first. But then I actually saw her on her sister's youtube channel. Her brother then contacted me on IG telling me she's trying to scam me. Strange world. She is young and beautiful and guys need to be careful. I think she was just trying to use her body to make money. And her older sister has had quite a successful youtube channel, with foreigner boyfriends and guys sending money and things. I think the younger sister was just trying to use her body to make easy money - easier than working in a bar.
Catfishing is not always about money. Some people just want a relationship with someone they think would not want a relationship with them. For the feeling of companionship, for laughs, for intel, there are lots of reasons.
@@DrJamesBWood Right. I only reason I bring it up is because if someone believes there's only one reason for this kind of deception and they disqualify that motivation they still shouldn't assume the anonymous entity is who they say they are.
Good Subject,, I sked my future wife before we meet did you have weirdo's asking for naked pics, she said all the time and she blocked them, even while we did are K1 Visa and video chat live, I am dressed nice and same with my wife, are we weird? LOL, I tell you sir, for your age, man you look good! I have one problem still, it takes me forever to have to shave, if I cut my moustache which takes six months to grow, I look too young, kept getting carded till 30 LOL, no kidding, the good Genes my friend, good Life style!.. CWO I.M. Garland. we retiring in Vietnam soon.
Good info for those who invest the time, money, and emotions into On-Line and LDR's. I checked it out once, it's just not for me. The juice is just not worth the squeeze...
I watched the video about the Queen, very interesting. It just shows that men are gullible, I know because I almost fell into it and I consistently get Friend Requests from good looking females on Facebook, I just delete them. The other issue I am seeing is FR's from people who are already Friends but it is a cloned account that is just a little off on the name or other info on what it should be. Nothing major but like one letter off or the name is backwards, like last name and then first name.
I don't get it, why man are paying for digital images. The internet is full of free pics and movies. There is absolutely no need for OF or asking for nudes. But much more I don't understand some man who think it's an exiting idea to play with them self in front of a camera.
Thanks for bringing this to our notice. I would never subject myself to such actions but it is good to know what is going on and what actions we need to take. I enjoy the problems and the solutions you have for us. Keep up the good work.
I did that once after conversing with someone in the comments section of a TH-cam video (not yours). Stuff went to google chat. And I did that. I just refused to pay. I also sought the advice of one of my uncles who’s a retired California highway patrol. He scolded me. But told me I was right not to pay. I don’t do that stuff again. I do my best to keep conversations from dating sites on said site or sites like messenger, WhatsApp, or signal. I’m Andrew. I agree with Rob with getting to know the person in order to get a baseline on him or her. And I’ll add prior to any x-rate stuff being shared … setting ground rules is a definite must. Like who gets to see said content. Where on your respective devices said content will be saved. Etc. And I’d set the ground rules in text form just so they’re in writing.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Of course. What advice do you have for those of us who take meds? I have ADD and bipolar. I’m on meds and am in therapy for the bipolar. But I’m painfully aware that my bipolar meds aren’t legal everywhere in the world (generics for tegretol and geodon). I take them daily along with a statin (generic for zocor) for high cholesterol.
Very good info. Didn’t know how lucrative this sex torsion is. I’ve been ask those questions but never got the evolved with these nude women or money request. Thanks for sharing this info it just reinforces my gut feelings on this matter. Keep up the great videos on these type of things 😊

Hey Rib can I register your wedding at the Philippines consulate in San Francisco? Just register and do a USA based online wedding. It’s super easy to get the marriage license. Send me the documents and I’ll drive down and register the wedding. That’s my plan for marriage to my Filipina since I’ve been divorced 3X and it will be a hassle to get all the documentation needed for a Filipino wedding. Once you are married online you are automatically married in the USA but it will take 30 days to process and be officially married in the Philippines. Good Luck! The other option is make a trip and file it on your trip!
Anyone can reply and ask questions, I'm happy to answer them. I'm making my second trip out there in two weeks, I just paid tinder so I could do passport mode and signed up for ChristianFilipina which is currently only has the cheapest option of $247 for 3 months, no way to pay less; I'm only staying around Manila on this trip so am not looking in any other areas which I'm sure has more scammers than anywhere else. So I'm talking to a few girls on both apps who I've had video chats with, at this point I'd be surprised if they turn out to be scammers as they wasted a lot of time. There are "hidden" ladyboys on both apps, they don't mention they're trans and like a lot of girls, heavily photoshop/filter their face/jawline but give no indication otherwise they're trans. Next, there are a lot of hookers on both apps, if in their profile, if you a girl in an actual bikini it's probably okay but if they're in their underwear, 99% it's a ladyboy, fulltime or part time hooker or scammer. If the girls starts off with babe/baby/handsome, they're probably scammers. I have had a lot of girls, some I've video chatted with, ask for money. The more interesting scam is the 9s or 10s in appearance, you add them to IG/social media, you exchange a few messages and out of nowhere you have an incoming video chat from her. You answer, she immediately compliments you and shows you she's in her underwear. They start begging you to strip and may move her undies aside to show a split second peak of her goods. I was very surprised to find the ones doing this are stunning 9s and 10s. As I said, anyone is welcome to ask any questions
Guys!!! go get married in Thailand......one day of paper work and 4 days after that you can be married........that's what I am doing with my fiancé......
I had to delete some certain Apps from my phone. The Philippines, especially . That's where I got most of the video came from the Province Ladies,They were too gross.Does Ladies have to much time on their hands and a phone.and if any Philippines ladies read this, please Wear some decent panties at leat new or not dirty and ragged,It's a big turn off.Just saying allegedly 😂😂😂
When I had an add on a dating site, I put right in my add, that if you send nudes, I will block you. I have NEVER EVER asked for nudes or accepted them.
I get many of those on Whatsapp. I just delete them right away. On facebook, it was very rare, but I do sometimes get friend request with some people I don't recognize and delete them. I also check to see if they are friends with people I know.
This was very informative and enlightening. Thank you for presenting substantive topics and information. As always, your channel is refreshing, informative and most of all educational.
A couple times a week I get anonymous texts like "Come on over for dinner" or "What you been doing lately". Usually from area codes around the country. I usually reply "wrong number" because I don't have time to waste. About a month ago, I blocked my Facebook friends list.
In general when traveling overseas, my rule is never do business or engage in any conversation with anybody who approaches unsolicited and it’s pretty good advice when you’re on one of the online dating sites as well
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines correct but what if one believes that the dating sites are the weak link and allows scammers in to one life that would have not had the opportunity to do so. Just not a fanof the dating site. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy your storey hour videos
Rob, we need to look at things from a statistical perspective instead of saying both men and women are "harvestingg." I quit online dating because the women were either scammers or too busy to be reply in a timely manner to a guy who didn't give them the "tingles." I feel the online game is dead, and not the way to go anymore.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I understand. You also recommend to have a firm travel date before chatting. When I come I'll go back online a week before hand to give it a try.
Well played, Rob Well played. You get to be single for an extra 45 day's lol. Seriously though, there should be a company in the USA that should know all the laws to take care of this kind of stuff before you go overseas.
I find the most sought after men are the ones that are in relationships. Why? As far as I can tell from experience, it's bcuz if a man is with a woman they must be the type that treats women right and will take them away if they can. I know more women hit on me when I was in a relationship than when single.
Nothing like appealing to the lower nature of man. Perhaps someday you will make a video that doesn't involve sex,dating,how to date a Filipina or a thousand variation of this subject matter.
Hey, if you guys don't already have a video like this, would you consider making one on the following topic? I'm planning on making my first scouting trip to the Philippines, probably in late February or early March of 2025. I will have two weeks. Given travel logistics, the potential for delays and cancelations, the effects of jet lag, etc... I feel like visiting two locations in the two weeks is probably all that I can reasonably accomplish. After watching thousands of hours of videos from a variety of vloggers, I think I have narrowed down my two locations to Panglao (Bohol), and Palawan (Puerta Princesa / El Nido). The final move to the Philippines, assuming I like it, will be in 3 years, so this is my first scouting trip to see if I like it. So maybe the topic of a video could be "Here's what to do / what you need to know about your first 2 week scouting trip to the Philippines."
I got an email from a scammer claiming that they had hijacked my laptop camera and recorded me watching porn / pleasuring myself, and threatened to send the videos to my employer if I didn't give them money... I laughed, because the very first minute I had my laptop, I slapped a piece of black electrical tape over the camera lens to make sure that could never happen. I just deleted the message, and nothing ever came of it.
Yeh, I cover my lenses as well. And REALLY refrain from any video chats unless it's with my doctor.... Taught my daughters to do the same, since many schools in the U.S. can't seem to figure out the word 'private' when it comes to minors. And no social media ... knew that was trouble from the start....& it worked out very well for them. They thanked me for that. Really cleaned up the job interview process as well ...
@@firstjohn3123 Indeed. My girls were 17 before they were allowed to have an IG account, and none of them have FB. They also weren't allowed to have cell phones until they were 15
I removed black electrical tape from my laptop lens after remaining in place for years only now the camera view is distorted . Maybe from heat. I tried different cleaning chemicals, no luck. You might want to place a small piece of paper over the lens and tape the paper to the lens
Yep apostille those docs ladies and gents before leaving the country. It will save you some bucks. Got my stuff off to State Dept this week. Cannot do the KS police check and apos. till 6 mos or less before my arrival date to PH.
I've had a long standing approach that whenever a chat mate starts talking about sex, I "dump and block". A long term partner /potential wife doesn't behave like that naturally, but has learnt manipulative behaviour through experience.
This happened to a friend of mine so I had known about it…a scammer tried that with me but I was not playing around and would not show myself. Then she tried to threaten to send to my FB friends. I just laughed! First you don’t have anything and 2nd almost all my real friends have seen me naked! Haha! I actually played along with this scammer and we became friends turns out she is a lady boy. Was totally NOT the pictures she was showing. But the video was very good and believable. I ask her to touch her nose quickly and then her head…
good vid Rob. i learned early and am reminded often the money is always the key to success in relationships in the Philippines (to some extent). Filipinas always seek out opportunities for a better life, especially those who are breadwinners for their families. for expats the old saying is true... "no money no honey." just ask any of the expats who ran out of money there. i tell people to enjoy their time in the Phils. enjoy your Filipina and the lifestyle. but always remember the money thing is key. it is (and will always be) the lifeline of happiness in the Phils. manage the money well and everything will be great😊
Rob looks so relaxed and happy. Your life in the PH suites you well. Edit: Lonely people can make bad decisions they normally wouldn't even consider. Thanks for the info.
Man, a lot has changed since 2008. I had my original copy of my divorce papers from my lawyer, and all I had to do was make a copy of it and give it to them along with the other papers you mentioned. It took my wife and I five months to complete the process in Cebu city. We are now going on seventeen years now. I just recently followed your channel because the information you are providing is very useful and informative.
100% I had one girl saying she was under age and tried to extort me I told her sure share it I’m not bothered nothing came out of it just a bit of abuse
In the Philippines now for 5 days and yep, it’s even better than you think. Girls will stop you at the mall to take pictures with you. I legit feel famous here. 5 days, every day but one I woke up next to a beautiful young woman. 19-26 and I’m 41. I will say, bring your A Game. I have been in the gym the past 10 years with abs. Most guys are old and over weight here. Like 65+ with a big belly. So don’t wait that long to come see for yourself and make sure 10-15 weeks before you are in the gym and diet is on point
@@FlyMeToThePhilippinesyeah, I’ve got a lot more of this place to see and it definitely has its struggles and disadvantages. However, so far it’s taken over my se Asia number 1 spot
Dear Chrissy and Rob - what do you say - everything good is worth waiting for - :-) Personally, I have no knowledge of today's topic, but I have had my own experience with the friend requests on Facebook. In the end, I simply closed my Facebook account and have lived very well without it for the past few years. Eventually I was up to 25-30 inquiries a day from people I didn't know. Best regards from Denmark😅
All internet connections can be traced. Don’t be blackmailed, lots of people with network skills will be happy to help you locate the blackmailer. If not inclined to go that direction then report it to the platform you used. They have to take action of course at different levels depending on your country. Totally correct that borrowing a cell phone is standard practice here. Got to say I had a good laugh when Chrisy said she would make sure all her equipment is ready before the call, whoooo whaaaa!! Great advise, enjoyed your video.
I'm 64, financially secure and just want to find a place I can retire in peace and quiet and possibly find a partner to share my golden years. I'm fine with being single, but would love to find a partner.
Ha ha ha, great video. I could literally fill a rolodex with "why I can't video chat" excuses. As far as the sextortion goes, reminds me of that famous quote about a fool and his money ??? 🤔
And another thing is; even after you get a philippines recognition of marriage. When she goes to the us embassy spouse visa interview. She will need all of Rob's paper work with her.
I occasionally chat with older pinays and donate a few tokens (rice is life) and never ask to see "the goods". I know jobs are hard to come by and they've aged out. Me Cam? Never!
as a man if you got money and you worked hard for it like business and you know the tricks come on you get a friend request from a stranger you never meet before or know you block them you don't talk to them you don't accept the request you block them and move on
Even if it is a Filipina who is not part of this network (or another), many Filipinas have little to be lost by being "outed". They are living on maybe 200 pesos a day. If they miss a day of work due to rain it puts them a day behind on buying food for the day. So they may try anything just for $20.
Do like your video's. Has more todo with the nice hosts ;-). Just a suggestion, I should bring more action into the video's. After a couple of it's a bit..... I will travel to the area end of the year. Just for a holiday. Not special for a match. Just taking in the atmosfeer.
This happened to me, as I was stupid as can be and one of the scariest moments of my life. never again will I ever be that stupid as they even called one of my kids and said to tell your Dad to send money. Watch your facebook as they find these people if they can find your profile by using your phone number. Even if friends are hidden on facebook they will find them on whoever likes your public photo on FB.
Bring her to Arizona and we can have a big wedding party! If you’re from Phoenix or 2000 miles from water & 2 centimeters from Hell as known here in the Valley!
My understanding of catfishing is when a woman uses another girl to try to seduce her man to see if he will cheat on her. I guess there’s all different kinds!
Yes, Scott that’s a good point we made reference to this in an earlier video. Typically, they can only keep the AI fake going for 30 seconds and then go back to excuses why they can’t video chat
It is what it is and I love the mere option. I live in PI and I wouldn’t change anything, best bachelor male place to live you guys acting like your disgusted are full of it, lol. PI delivers it all. not looking for marriage
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines He made the comment referring to men’s behavior as being “thirsty”. It’s a metaphor suggesting that like a man crawling across the desert they behave off instinct without restrain when they are exposed to women. This my comment thirsty men will drink muddy / dirty water.
What you had to go through with your divorce authentication sounds like an absolute horror show! Is it the same level of difficulty all through the Philippines or is it just your particular province?
If they record me they can send it around the world😂i have nothing to hide and i'm not shy.I have a big one also.So enjoy that video if come to somebody 😎✌
You guys are awesome but I love watching Chrissy's body language when you say something and she clearly thinks 'oh you idiot' but is way too polite to say those words haha. I'll be in Cagayan De Oro late Sept early October and would love to buy you both lunch.
I never send or show myself naked on line- never have never will! But I had someone try to bribe me claiming they had pics and would post them online. I laughed and said go ahead I’m 6’6” in good shape and had a stripper strip me naked on stage before- I literally don’t care lol
Your videos are always a really nice conversation without too much hype and with very good content in the truest form of the word. Thank you so much!

What do you think about girls who sent photos on WhatsApp then they delete the photos after a day or so does that sound suspicious?
Dave, one of the options in WhatsApp is to have photos auto delete it’s actually safe practice not always suspicious

That's where I got most of the video came from the Province Ladies,They were too gross.Does Ladies have to much time on their hands and a phone.and if any Philippines ladies read this, please Wear some decent panties at leat new or not dirty and ragged,It's a big turn off.Just saying allegedly 😂😂😂
OMG
When I had an add on a dating site, I put right in my add, that if you send nudes, I will block you. I have NEVER EVER asked for nudes or accepted them.
Interesting strategy
What is the name of this rich town that he’s talking about?
You can watch the video by following the link in the description box. It’ll share the name of the town.
Simple, never act creepy online.
Pretty good advice
I get many of those on Whatsapp. I just delete them right away. On facebook, it was very rare, but I do sometimes get friend request with some people I don't recognize and delete them. I also check to see if they are friends with people I know.
Marc yes that is the way to handle it
This was very informative and enlightening.
Thank you for presenting substantive topics and information.
As always, your channel is refreshing, informative and most of all educational.
@@robertclaus1102 🙏👍❤️ thanks for your support Bob
Yeah I fell for the scam my phone video won’t work… sent money like an idiot 😢….
Welcome to the Philippines a lot of us have fallen for such tricks early on
A couple times a week I get anonymous texts like "Come on over for dinner" or "What you been doing lately". Usually from area codes around the country. I usually reply "wrong number" because I don't have time to waste. About a month ago, I blocked my Facebook friends list.
Thanks for sharing that
This is a nothing topic people that respond to this are lacking some substance and are desperate looking for someone so online not a good idea.
🤔
Anything that comes to you unsolicited just let it go and then there's no discussion on this topic any further
In general when traveling overseas, my rule is never do business or engage in any conversation with anybody who approaches unsolicited and it’s pretty good advice when you’re on one of the online dating sites as well
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines correct but what if one believes that the dating sites are the weak link and allows scammers in to one life that would have not had the opportunity to do so. Just not a fanof the dating site. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy your storey hour videos
it is still true >> Asian women cant dance
Steve, really I thought she danced great
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines beauty is still in the eye of the beholder
Rob, we need to look at things from a statistical perspective instead of saying both men and women are "harvestingg." I quit online dating because the women were either scammers or too busy to be reply in a timely manner to a guy who didn't give them the "tingles." I feel the online game is dead, and not the way to go anymore.
Tim, I’m still a proponent of using online tools if your patient patient and persistent and you avoid all the incoming traffic
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I understand. You also recommend to have a firm travel date before chatting. When I come I'll go back online a week before hand to give it a try.
Well played, Rob Well played. You get to be single for an extra 45 day's lol. Seriously though, there should be a company in the USA that should know all the laws to take care of this kind of stuff before you go overseas.
Thanks joe for watching our video and sharing your thoughts. Not sure what I’m gonna do with the 45 days.
Chrissy dresses.so tastefully. What a prizs.
Thank you, Donald
Have a blessed day/night, everyone, and stay safe!
❤️🙏👍
Goodnight guys. Take care and God bless you 🙏 🙂
✅
Thank God I don't have anything to do with that type of women.
Exactly
I find the most sought after men are the ones that are in relationships. Why? As far as I can tell from experience, it's bcuz if a man is with a woman they must be the type that treats women right and will take them away if they can. I know more women hit on me when I was in a relationship than when single.
I sort of agree, George
Same as in U S
Nothing like appealing to the lower nature of man. Perhaps someday you will make a video that doesn't involve sex,dating,how to date a Filipina or a thousand variation of this subject matter.
Thanks for the feedback
Hey, if you guys don't already have a video like this, would you consider making one on the following topic? I'm planning on making my first scouting trip to the Philippines, probably in late February or early March of 2025. I will have two weeks. Given travel logistics, the potential for delays and cancelations, the effects of jet lag, etc... I feel like visiting two locations in the two weeks is probably all that I can reasonably accomplish. After watching thousands of hours of videos from a variety of vloggers, I think I have narrowed down my two locations to Panglao (Bohol), and Palawan (Puerta Princesa / El Nido). The final move to the Philippines, assuming I like it, will be in 3 years, so this is my first scouting trip to see if I like it. So maybe the topic of a video could be "Here's what to do / what you need to know about your first 2 week scouting trip to the Philippines."
Thanks for the suggestion
Hi guys, good evening 🙏
👋
So what is wrong w/ her taking clothes off while I watch? LOL>
I get your point
Activities involving the commonly agreed upon body-area/subject of the human body:
"It depends on all the circumstances."
I got an email from a scammer claiming that they had hijacked my laptop camera and recorded me watching porn / pleasuring myself, and threatened to send the videos to my employer if I didn't give them money... I laughed, because the very first minute I had my laptop, I slapped a piece of black electrical tape over the camera lens to make sure that could never happen. I just deleted the message, and nothing ever came of it.
Great story. And lesson thanks for sharing.
Yeh, I cover my lenses as well. And REALLY refrain from any video chats unless it's with my doctor....
Taught my daughters to do the same, since many schools in the U.S. can't seem to figure out the word 'private' when it comes to minors. And no social media ... knew that was trouble from the start....& it worked out very well for them. They thanked me for that.
Really cleaned up the job interview process as well ...
@@firstjohn3123 Indeed. My girls were 17 before they were allowed to have an IG account, and none of them have FB. They also weren't allowed to have cell phones until they were 15
Which lens do u cover thete r 3 lenses top middle & bottom@@firstjohn3123
I removed black electrical tape from my laptop lens after remaining in place for years only now the camera view is distorted . Maybe from heat. I tried different cleaning chemicals, no luck.
You might want to place a small piece of paper over the lens and tape the paper to the lens
Yep apostille those docs ladies and gents before leaving the country. It will save you some bucks. Got my stuff off to State Dept this week. Cannot do the KS police check and apos. till 6 mos or less before my arrival date to PH.
@@ripley7t429 thanks for watching our video and thanks for sharing that good advice and your experience
I've had a long standing approach that whenever a chat mate starts talking about sex, I "dump and block". A long term partner /potential wife doesn't behave like that naturally, but has learnt manipulative behaviour through experience.
Thanks for watching our video John and. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience.
This happened to a friend of mine so I had known about it…a scammer tried that with me but I was not playing around and would not show myself. Then she tried to threaten to send to my FB friends. I just laughed! First you don’t have anything and 2nd almost all my real friends have seen me naked! Haha! I actually played along with this scammer and we became friends turns out she is a lady boy. Was totally NOT the pictures she was showing. But the video was very good and believable. I ask her to touch her nose quickly and then her head…
@@etfremd wow
good vid Rob. i learned early and am reminded often the money is always the key to success in relationships in the Philippines (to some extent). Filipinas always seek out opportunities for a better life, especially those who are breadwinners for their families. for expats the old saying is true... "no money no honey." just ask any of the expats who ran out of money there. i tell people to enjoy their time in the Phils. enjoy your Filipina and the lifestyle. but always remember the money thing is key. it is (and will always be) the lifeline of happiness in the Phils. manage the money well and everything will be great😊
Well said Glenn
I have had a few blackmail attempt but always called their bluff except 1 time they did post and I had them arrested.
Albert I want you to share more about this!
Rob looks so relaxed and happy. Your life in the PH suites you well. Edit: Lonely people can make bad decisions they normally wouldn't even consider. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the comment enjoyed reading it
👍
'Keep your shirt on' is a safe way to navigate the internet swamp.
Good advice Mike
Man, a lot has changed since 2008. I had my original copy of my divorce papers from my lawyer, and all I had to do was make a copy of it and give it to them along with the other papers you mentioned. It took my wife and I five months to complete the process in Cebu city. We are now going on seventeen years now. I just recently followed your channel because the information you are providing is very useful and informative.
❤️🙏👍
Do you know if additional documentation, other than a death certificate, is required for marriage if you're a widower?
I don’t know. Suggest you post on fb group Philippines expats
100% I had one girl saying she was under age and tried to extort me I told her sure share it I’m not bothered nothing came out of it just a bit of abuse
👍
In the Philippines now for 5 days and yep, it’s even better than you think. Girls will stop you at the mall to take pictures with you. I legit feel famous here. 5 days, every day but one I woke up next to a beautiful young woman. 19-26 and I’m 41. I will say, bring your A Game. I have been in the gym the past 10 years with abs. Most guys are old and over weight here. Like 65+ with a big belly. So don’t wait that long to come see for yourself and make sure 10-15 weeks before you are in the gym and diet is on point
Thanks for watching and what a great field report. Congratulations to you and good advice.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippinesyeah, I’ve got a lot more of this place to see and it definitely has its struggles and disadvantages. However, so far it’s taken over my se Asia number 1 spot
Where in the Philippines did you go?
very good video, thank you for the information
You're welcome
Dear Chrissy and Rob - what do you say - everything good is worth waiting for - :-) Personally, I have no knowledge of today's topic, but I have had my own experience with the friend requests on Facebook. In the end, I simply closed my Facebook account and have lived very well without it for the past few years. Eventually I was up to 25-30 inquiries a day from people I didn't know. Best regards from Denmark😅
👋👋Hi Bent. Interesting share 🤔. Great to hear from you again thanks for your support.
With the enormous difference of incomes between the US and Philippines. This harvesting is a daily life thing I'm sure.
Yes, for sure
All internet connections can be traced. Don’t be blackmailed, lots of people with network skills will be happy to help you locate the blackmailer. If not inclined to go that direction then report it to the platform you used. They have to take action of course at different levels depending on your country. Totally correct that borrowing a cell phone is standard practice here. Got to say I had a good laugh when Chrisy said she would make sure all her equipment is ready before the call, whoooo whaaaa!! Great advise, enjoyed your video.
👍
I'm 64, financially secure and just want to find a place I can retire in peace and quiet and possibly find a partner to share my golden years. I'm fine with being single, but would love to find a partner.
Come to the Philippines
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I'm considering it, but I'm not willing to walk into a scam like I've found with Western women.
Another great video !
I appreciate that
I haven't been here for a little while. I missed your vids
We missed hearing from you too
Ha ha ha, great video. I could literally fill a rolodex with "why I can't video chat" excuses. As far as the sextortion goes, reminds me of that famous quote about a fool and his money ??? 🤔
Send me the Rolodex we could use it for a video. Thanks as always for the nice comment.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I think I will email my Filipina dating journey at some point, keep up the great content.
From AZ.... easy subscribe!
@@sparris3624 🙏
And another thing is; even after you get a philippines recognition of marriage. When she goes to the us embassy spouse visa interview. She will need all of Rob's paper work with her.
Thanks for sharing this
Slow moves the wheels of progress.
Seriously 😐
I occasionally chat with older pinays and donate a few tokens (rice is life) and never ask to see "the goods". I know jobs are hard to come by and they've aged out. Me Cam? Never!
Thanks for watching our video and taking time to comment. Interesting post.
as a man if you got money and you worked hard for it like business and you know the tricks come on you get a friend request from a stranger you never meet before or know you block them you don't talk to them you don't accept the request you block them and move on
👍
Even if it is a Filipina who is not part of this network (or another), many Filipinas have little to be lost by being "outed". They are living on maybe 200 pesos a day. If they miss a day of work due to rain it puts them a day behind on buying food for the day. So they may try anything just for $20.
Thanks for the comment Jeffrey
Do like your video's. Has more todo with the nice hosts ;-). Just a suggestion, I should bring more action into the video's. After a couple of it's a bit.....
I will travel to the area end of the year. Just for a holiday. Not special for a match. Just taking in the atmosfeer.
Thanks for the tip!
This happened to me, as I was stupid as can be and one of the scariest moments of my life. never again will I ever be that stupid as they even called one of my kids and said to tell your Dad to send money. Watch your facebook as they find these people if they can find your profile by using your phone number. Even if friends are hidden on facebook they will find them on whoever likes your public photo on FB.
Wow Matthew thanks for sharing that
Bring her to Arizona and we can have a big wedding party! If you’re from Phoenix or 2000 miles from water & 2 centimeters from Hell as known here in the Valley!
Casa del Diablo two months a year
The male cenomar is from USA or Philippines

😮
Yikes!
My understanding of catfishing is when a woman uses another girl to try to seduce her man to see if he will cheat on her. I guess there’s all different kinds!
Possibly never heard that definition before, but that may be how it started
Not only city illegal crime happends in city only
👍
So if the guy was torqueing on video chat, would that be a bad thing? 😃
Terrible 😏
What if you have never been married?
Perhaps you would have relatives and coworkers in your friends list they might try to leverage
It’s actually worse than you describe, there is now deep fake real time video using AI
Yes, Scott that’s a good point we made reference to this in an earlier video. Typically, they can only keep the AI fake going for 30 seconds and then go back to excuses why they can’t video chat
I need to meet the twin sister of Chrissy!
❤️🙏👍
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Haha... send her my address. I'm not joking.
It is what it is and I love the mere option. I live in PI and I wouldn’t change anything, best bachelor male place to live
you guys acting like your disgusted are full of it, lol. PI delivers it all. not looking for marriage
👍
Hilarious! Thirsty men drinking muddy water..
Huh
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines He made the comment referring to men’s behavior as being “thirsty”. It’s a metaphor suggesting that like a man crawling across the desert they behave off instinct without restrain when they are exposed to women. This my comment thirsty men will drink muddy / dirty water.
What you had to go through with your divorce authentication sounds like an absolute horror show! Is it the same level of difficulty all through the Philippines or is it just your particular province?
Pretty much the entire country if you’re planning to get long-term visa, it’s important to get your birth certificate apostiled also
Great video.. just use common sense.
@@clivevenning7204 👍
If they record me they can send it around the world😂i have nothing to hide and i'm not shy.I have a big one also.So enjoy that video if come to somebody 😎✌
🤣
Sir, you should let your wife talk more. Don’t interrupt her so much
Thanks for the feedback
Rob this is dynamite
Thanks Toby 🙏
Send a hit man, hahaha
🤔
You guys are awesome but I love watching Chrissy's body language when you say something and she clearly thinks 'oh you idiot' but is way too polite to say those words haha.
I'll be in Cagayan De Oro late Sept early October and would love to buy you both lunch.
Sounds great let me know
Ewwww so disgusting topic 😆😆
Ok
I never send or show myself naked on line- never have never will! But I had someone try to bribe me claiming they had pics and would post them online. I laughed and said go ahead I’m 6’6” in good shape and had a stripper strip me naked on stage before- I literally don’t care lol
I am trying not to visualize
