To me, my wife was drop dead gorgeous when I met her 42 years ago, and we're still married.
My most common word when I’m dating is NO. I learned long ago the older one is the less risk someone can take. I keep this in mind. Before I left to SE Asia l asked myself, what is it I want most? It was easy to answer. Peace old mind. Before I make anh decision I ask myself will this lead to more peace of mind or less. That makes it simple. Thanks Reekay
This!
Yes bruh
Pull aside for trafficking yikes
One single mom I was chatting me told me, "I've always wanted to take my daughter to Disney in Japan "
I told her...Oh, good luck with that...😂
Next! ha!
The first guy is the biggest simp I've ever heard of.
Yes, he actually out-SIMPed me at my worst... it made my day
Remember, Never lose your head over a little piece of tail.
Keep the brains above the belt line. Hard to do, I know.
Guys, we are the ones in control. We are the ones who dictates how everything is gonna work. My way or the highway is my motto
I really enjoy theses stories 😅
I had my wife listen with me and we both are not surprised. We watch a show called 90 day fiancee and these type of things happen all the time. It’s funny but at the same time just pitiful.
Love to hear more stories. 😊
IF MONEY IS ALWAYS THE TOPIC OF A RELATIONSHIP THEN THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP.
Guys like it easy, and if money is easy they will throw it.
Sadly, no amount of vlogs, vids, or real life stories will ever change that for some people. What stops it is being smart or being hurt deeply. Thanks for helping those who choose the smart path.
The first day I met my ex Filipina I said, let me see your birth certificate for immigration purposes. Honestly, I only wanted to see one box where it’s checked mail or female, because I had heard the stories about lady boys. That is a very true story she was not very feminine, unfortunately, but it was checked female. Listen to Henry boys and follow my lead. Lol.😀🌴🌴🍺🍺
If I have to guess if she’s a male or female. Then I walk away. It should
Be immediately clear which one it is.
If you see her up close and within 2-5 seconds you are wondering-run
Imagine how many men have done the same thing or worse as guy #1, but are too embarrassed to share the story.
That first story was unbelievable. It's incredible how someone that dumb managed to get that rich.... life is so unfair...

HI HENRY, THANKS FOR THE FANTASTIC WARNING!,,,keep the stories coming in they are great advice!
The smart filipinas get money from you in small amounts at a time over long periods. Then it all adds up.
Only ever give what you can afford to lose because in the Philippines, what you spend here, will stay here.
The Ladyboy used that 15,000 for a new body upgrade.....😂
Saying no to sending money is a great buffer. Also nothing wrong speaking with a few different girls online to get to know them in some way. For me the time and effort spent chatting is well worth it to get a feel for the real ones. Also my itinerary isn't dictated by the girls, I'm still visiting certain places to find where I want a base. The right girl will follow me around.
Well Done! & Thanks for the Background Pics! ❤
I'm glad you like it
You are correct, learning how to say no is the hardest part for many men. They show up and find a beautiful woman that weighs as much as their ex wife's right leg, and is friendly. Women that wouldn't speak to them in the USA. Men never learned to tell beautiful woman like that no, they will give them anything to keep them interested. Learn to say no, the sooner that you learn, the better off you will be. They aren't going away because you say no.
Good advice. For many men it’s not very long before their ‘one-eyed serpents’ are making the decisions. Insecure, blinded by lust, scarcity mindset.
I remember you telling me this 3rd story when we met in Dumaguete. I have repeated it many times. Please keep telling us these stories. Channels in Thailand tell stories but not in the Philippines
will do! good to hear from you, been a while since we chatted. drop me a line sometime here,

As the Filipina pea once said in dealing with infatuation with a Filipina... that is your fantasy talkin
Haaa!!!
First guy: A pure IDIOT of extreme proportions!
Second guy: A second IDIOT of extreme proprtions!
Third guy: A third IDIOT of extreme proportions!
Some guys will NEVER learn!
Impossible to feel even SLIGHTLY sorry for the first guy. Play stupid games, win idiot prizes.
This is a great channel. I learn from every video. Thanks.
I appreciate that!
There's so much sense and good advice in these videos.
thanks! more to come. :)
From the first story, I'm glad to know there is someone who is a bigger simp than I was at one point :-)
As the old saying goes - A fool and his money are easily parted
I count myself as blessed. First time going to Subic Bay, we had a Chief (BMC Garcia) sit us young guys (first timers) down and explain ALL this stuff to us. Ladyboys, don't get too attached, freelancers, don't give money, all of it. And that was in the 90s! I'd think you'd come across these warnings in your initial research nowadays. Heck, after doing my due diligence on Thailand, this channel was one of the first to pop up when I started researching the Philippines! I've never been one to send a woman money (for ANY reason) in the past and I don't see that changing. Something about her taking your money and spending it on someone else (NOT family) just doesn't sit right with me.
a bit of knowledge can save a person from a lot of grief. :)
Didn’t P.T Barnum say that there’s a sucker born every minute.
What you have said is ALL true and I have heard the same and seen it with my own eyes, in Thailand, and these horror stories are completely factual. It happens way more times than even what you said, but the positive ladies [number-wise] are far FAR more prevalent. Thank goodness! Good video and...Peace
truth is truly stranger than fiction.
You’ve gotta be like George in that Seinfeld episode where he decides to do the opposite of what his life-long habits tell him to do. [example: shy guys who ordinarily only date women who make the first move, do the opposite of that: Approach a banker or a professor as if that’s totally normal for you.]
Hard to say no to a pretty girl that you are emotionally attached to.
Most such cases stem from thinking with the wrong head. Such susceptible men tend to be desperate and dreamers who are so fixated on 'finding true love' that they convince themselves that the Philippines is some magical land that 'fixes' all their problems and makes all their dreams of 'love and romance' come true.
Having a background in law enforcement, I'd learned early on that people have the ability to to incredibly great things in life and amazingly stupid things. The ability of some to convince themselves to act or do things, with what most would clearly see as an utter lack of common sense, is simply astounding.
I have no problem telling ANY woman NO no matter where they’re from or who they are! A woman will either respect you or they won’t! I remember going once on a Filipino dating site and some women started asking for money and I told them no! The best thing to do is just go to the Philippines and meet ladies there and see what they are about first!!
I am 100% agree with your accessments and methods of handling those situations. I would go further to absolutely not to engage relationship at all. Just do st.
Oh, I believe you.
I came to your channel 2 weeks ago. It's a fantastic resource.
Thanks and welcome. i'm glad it's been helpful. :)
What's just as amazing about the first "story" is that 3 Filipinas were able to get out of their country without getting off-loaded at immigration when trying to leave their country. That seems to be the "norm" these days--even married women are sometimes having a difficult time getting out.
Some times they don't check, I brought in 15K U.S. they didn't ask only my covid paper work.
this went on for three years, and he gave her lots of money. it's very possible he had already taken them on previous trips, or they themselves had previously flown out on vacations (using his money). they obviously already had passports, that wasn't a last-minute thing.
Some of my friends and aquaintances in other countries are very embittered about unfair travel restrictions, but sometimes it’s their home-county’s policies that impede their ability to travel on a modest budget. I can tell you that the government of Ghana is (unfairly) trying to stop a “brain-drain.” As for the Philippines, I’ll have to search out some videos explaining the: “halt ! You may not leave” policies. I hope it’s to combat human trafficking… otherwise, it’s super-confusing because so many Filipinos/as work abroad to send money home…
Very good video, and very good advice 👌
Glad you liked it
Great video packed with good advice
Glad it was helpful!
I know of case with a ladyboy also. He sent her US$400,000. He lost all. He/she disappeared with all the money.
wow.
thanks, all good advice. after 6 years of relationships in Thailand, i agree that taking your time is perhaps most important. it takes skill and good instincts to navigate thru the various mine fields. i do believe that there are plenty of decent, beautiful, compatible women in SE Asia, but you having money relative to them puts a big bullseye on you. and it may not even start out as a scam, but if you make it too easy for them, just like anywhere, they may succumb to taking advantage. Similar to the adage, think the best but be prepared for the worst. its a skill.
Think with the big head and not with the little head😂
Good advice.
Gonna be a careful butterfly!
I'm thinking of putting tattoo down there a butterfly she will know deal ahead time
3:51 "OK." Love the accent!
Give me a DUH! Like a Greg Mannarino video.😂
i stole that from eddie murphy's early stand-up. steve martin said it like that also. ha!
When you think you heard it all my goodness. Always enjoyed your content Henry
Oh My, can't make this up. Reekay , you educate and entertain us. I gotta believe we entertain you also 😁. Proves the point that someone is always worse off or dumber no matter what. Wowza......

The second dude ... maybe he did see it coming! 😂😳
Great video great advice 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I've been with my Filipina for almost five years now and she still won't ask me for anything
Some of these girls are very smart, they play the long game. Make you think your're the only one they write to online. They know which buttons to press and when. One asked me to buy her a new phone despite having never met in person. No was the reply, she never wrote again.
9:33 He met Ting Tong!😂😅🤣
What a legend!
bayot.
Male thirst is a bottomless pit. Men need to learn to do better. Sad how easily some guys get taken.
We met online no boots on the ground , married online and I sent money to her family who built the home we’ve be happily living in the last two years in near Bislig City I guess I’m the one exception having said yes , I can say no when I need to which is usually if she asks will I help her in the garden , so in reality you are not always right about online dating or boots on the ground lol 😂
you are one of the 1% "outlier" element. same as the guy who walks into a casino and wins the jackpot on the first slot-machine he pulls.
yes, it happens. does it happen often? no.
congratulations to you both. :)
Take your time.
what would be an average age of these philipinas that scammed some guys? i met my philapina on line. Went to philippines to meet her and her children. I was invited to stay with her, and stayed three months. We worked on getting her visa, and she came to the U S with me. We then planned the wedding and got married. I did this the wrong way based on your advise, so I guess I am very lucky it turned out good for me. She is now 51, and I'm 78. I love the 2 youngest children, and they love and see me as papa. We are having a tough time with home land security. it has been aggravating, and have had some set backs because of covid. At this point, the children are awaiting their visas, and will soon be with us. Her 4 adult children prefer to stay in the Philippines. I am happy and lucky guy I didn't end up like some other guys getting screwed by Philippina. I did view the advice "life by the sea" before going to the philippines. I hope I have put some help for others. I would say, go to the Philippines first and check things out before meeting your first Philipina. There are tons of them. Don't get in a hurry. Thanks for reading.
anywhere from their 20's to late 30's. rarely in their 40's, although that did happen to one expat i knew.
One of your best.
Thank you so much for this information especially for us rookies🥴
Good thing I have a lifetime state pension-all I have to do is wait until the 1st of every month and start again! I am in Pattaya and if you can’t tell a lady from a lady boy (within a few seconds) there is something wrong! And if you can’t tell that the real lady is wearing tons of makeup same thing
That is awesome!
Best SHOW ON THE TUBE
Great videos . I’m 73 and when close to a good looking woman I go stupid . Cheers pre warned is a good start .
Unfortunately, many men think with their heart. The Bible says;
He who trusted his own heart is a fool! Proverbs 28:26
Thanks for the video, you’re the voice of wisdom and reason Reekay.
Amusing as always
Enjoyed Ricky! There’s an Azzz for every seat…..Wether it’s the P.I. or the US. Peace/Cheers
My brain fell out of my head a couple times. :)
Telling them no, will end the relationship. I know, because I tried it. :)
Good Stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
If you are talking business do not get it mixed up with personal matters two different things.
If you even consider a business know what you are doing. Do you know how business works? The girl must start to lear and it must be real so only if you have the ecpierense in business let her start as an appentince make sure she get the full training no cheap talk
A women's beauty is fleeting.
Gary i think his name is was the guy looking for an older philipina. She played him, had him build a house in the provice and pay all the workers. Then move in her philipino boyfriend.what a racket its not even scam,all he had to do was say NO.
did you meet him also? that was in bacong several years ago. after the incident with the niece i never heard from him again.
I agree at least one year before I decide to marry
some great desperado stories.
"Duh, ok, George."
i love your xpat's "ok" :D :D
There is a saying. God only gave us enough blood to run one head at a time and when one is full, the other one is empty.” That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Lol
Guy No. 1: Very expensive old oyster.
This stuff is like love after lockup.
Know yourself worth. The first time someone asks for money block and delete. Not hating but how can you have a serious relationship when you've never met a person. They can pretend to be whatever or whoever online. People need to be vetted and you need to spend quality time and don't be in a hurry.
A+
Choosing a venue with a lot of mirrors improves your chances of seeing it coming no matter what position you are in. 😂
Slow down Chief. Lol.
Men are in love, women are in business!
I really, really, really ❤ those thumbnails 😊😅
Sad to say that was the best comical story I have heard in awhile.
I used to go full throttle on stupid in front of pretty girls when I was young. Lord help any expat who didn't learn that lesson before moving to the Phils
If she said she has a man and kids? Drop her! A Korean man also! Those guys are psychotic. I always get in fights with them over girls that they like but those guys have zero game. The girls have said they know the fellas because they were hit on by them but the girls have no interest. The guys were creeps. Dude pulled a gun on me, fired and missed. Sheeeeeit.... i ran.
Koreans always miss. Dats why the Americans won the Korean war. Lol.
Thank you for all your videos and invaluable advise.
Men are so gullible and can’t often see the errors of their actions and will justify these costly errors to themselves in any way they can - especially when it comes to searching for “love”
It takes far to many men wayyyyyy to long before admitting to themselves …they screwed up BIG Time!
One would think that the older we get we would know and have learned our lessons… but when it comes to pretty women and thinking only with your “other” brain- all logic seems to go out the window 🥴
Go figure 🤷♂️
Just glad I have learned ( and much credit goes to your videos as I learned a lot from listening to your advise) and hence said sooner then perhaps otherwise “NO”
Fortunately for me, I have found my true love and am happily married these days 🥰..finally😅🥳
Wishing you good health and all the love and happiness you can cope with 😉 for the rest of your life!
That first story was crazy 😧😧.
Amazed how some folks ignore red flags for attention. Such an abundance of women there and his mindset lost him that hard earned money
Met my wife online ten years ago. Married 1.5 years later. I built a couple houses there in the province. I went back and forth for 5 months a year for a few years then brought her and her daughter to Canada. She works full time here now. Recently bought some land in Bohol and have a vacation rental there where I will eventually live part time.
Was I scammed?
"Take it slow,
... learn to say no."
Found out the girl is .... whatttttt???? 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
Reekay- what the best amount of days to fire up Tinder/PinaLove from America before a first visit the Phils? 2 weeks? 1 month? 2 months?
it depends. if your goal is to meet someone for a relationship.. don't bother with dating apps. meet women by approaching them in-person.
but if you're just looking for some temporary company, just wait til you get settled into your lodging in the PH. you can chat them at 11am and set up a lunch for 1pm. planning anything days in advance is like herding cats.
Wow
I guess P.T. BARNUM was right.
I'm just here for the photos because the woman in them look like models. They're hotter than the ones I have seen in any videos.
Hard to hear men can be soooo vulnerable.
it happens so much, every day. so much bad decision making.
I cant even imagine how some men can be so desperate for female attention especially someone 25 years younger. You aren't gigolos and play boys your being played.
I been there,but I befriended a local cop and for 1000p he checked her out ,,,saved me a lot ,,money well spent
