Any kind of lies? Well, you will be either alone or have a series of very short experiences with Filipinas. I think you are missing the point. Mike is telling you that this behavior is cultural. You WILL to a greater or lessor degree see some of this behavior. Accept it as truth and act accordingly. Accept little white lies and or repentance when she trusts you enough to be honest. Dating is fun for us Americans. For a Filipina, it truly is the hunger games. Lastly, these are some truly beautiful women, give them some grace, understand them and you will have one of the strongest relationships of your life @mv4463 Pinned by Mike's Philippine Retirement

False. You have to keep all the chat conversations and hopefully there is something in it where she says she is single. I had a situation like that and the husband was trying to blackmail me to report it to the Police and I would be going to jail. So I went to the police told them what happened I'd been blackmailed and introduced the evidence she said she was single. They both got arrested. If you are unlucky and you get a corrupt police officer 100 bucks will do the trick with them.

If the husband catches you he can murder you and get away with it. "When a legally married person surprises his spouse in the act of committing sexual intercourse with another person and kills one or both of them in the act or immediately thereafter, he may not be held liable for such killing if the death is the proximate result of the outrage overwhelming him after catching his spouse in the act of infidelity."

Before getting serious check out the parents carefully for any bad vibes or red flags. If you do get any, pass. Not only that but the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Want to know what your wife will be like in 10+ years? Study her parents. Chances are good that you will get about the same. Ask me how I know.

On a visit in 2009 I met a waitress from Cebu who lied about not having children even though I noticed stretch marks on her body, which initially prompted the question. She asked me to marry her about 6 months ago claiming she's always loved me since '09, but she's since had 2 more children from another fella and worked as an aupair in Saudi Arabia for one year recently, yet she wanted money from me to gain entry paper's for UAE. Yes I've since blocked her.

She comes from a very respectable family. We were friends for three years before I visited the Philippines and married her. Now, we have two children, and we're living in the USA. She's a professional gynecologist, and I work as an economist.

Everything was fine for 2 months, then one day she asked me to lend her 20k pesos to get her jewelry out of the pawn shop. She said her parents would give me it back the following day but of course she only paid back 6k, all planned. I wasn't aware of her debts and I just couldn't be bothered to leave her and the sum wasn't really huge so I stayed there. I was very cautious to give her anything else after that but I left her after further bad behaviour and a couple of dubious thefts . Everyone says avoid Single mothers, I found out for myself.

mike, very good advice, so clearly put. danger is when one gets infatuated or emotionally involved, one may break those rules, especially if one comes from a scarcity mindset. the overall message i get is take things slowly, a step at a time. you’ll inevitably go through a lot of frogs before you find a princess, if at all. maintain your frame at all times. in a younger woman, her unspoken hidden long term agenda will slowly become clear. if your goal is simply long term girlfriend without cohabitation , marriage, kids or buying a house together, only finance costs for time you spend together, never capital items or family help. from australia.

From everything you are telling in this video, Mike, I can deduct (although I knew this already) that honesty is a major issue in the Philippines. Yes, they will lie to you! Yes, they may have a husband or a boyfriend stashed away somewhere! Yes, they may want to be with you for your money and not for love! That's why I'm seriously considering having my next girlfriend checked out by a private investigator. And this also explains where their jealousy and insecurity comes from. They are not upfront with you, so they expect you to have a sceleton in your cupboard as well. They know that they are lying to you, so why should they assume that you are being honest with them? I'm glad you have found a good Filipina, Mike, but for every guy like you there are probably 10 who were not that lucky!

Good advice Mike. I've been married to my Filipina wife for almost 19 years and we live in the states and have 3 kids. Not all Filipina women will scam. My wife comes from a middle class family and is university educated. We met online and got married in the US when she was in the US visiting family in other states. We have a great life together, though not sure we will retire in the Philippines as the healthcare system is generally not good. They don't have a good health insurance network like we do in the US. The Philippines is a great place to vacation, but not to retire to. We did make sure our kids got Philippine citizenship so they can retain property ownership eligibility, etc, and that can be done at any Philippine consulate in the US. It also gives them the ability to have an optional life in the Philippines should something go horribly wrong with the US.

Good informative video👍. I saw those things happen so much when I was stationed there in the 80's. Sometimes, it ended in violence. I'm glad social media wasn't around back then! Such a hassle! I was lucky to end up with a wonderful Filipina. We dated for close to 2 yrs before living together. Many times we were chaperoned by one of her sisters or cousin. They knew they were getting a steak dinner😅. She never asked for money. Has a very nice large family. Never lied about her situation. It's probably why we've been married 38 yrs with 3 wonderful adult children. She became a U.S. citizen. Staying in the P.I. wasn't an option she wanted. Though we do stay there part time throughout the year. But if you end up with a "bad" one, they can make your life miserable. Be very careful. So many just see you as a walking ATM.

My boyfriend from Nepal has lived in Australia since he was 18 and has traveled extensively, which shows that people can thrive regardless of their background. Ultimately, material wealth and economics aren't what matter most to me. What I value is a quality relationship, a simple life, peace of mind, and happiness. We will all leave this world eventually, so it's the meaningful connections that truly count.

When you compliment a Filipina that she's beautiful and they say "no I'm not", it's not so much that they're insecure as much as it's part of the culture's humility to deflect praise. Because saying "thank you" is interpreted as "yes, I am beautiful" and that is something they loathe upon.

My wife would ask me if I liked what she was wearing. I would say it looked really good, because it really did look good on her. She would immediately go into the bedroom and change into something else that did not look so good. Finally, I learned to say yeah, it looks ok. Then she would not change to something else. Then she looked great all the time. It is one of those Philippine things that I got used to over the years.🙄

Excellent video Mike. Good advice I heard before I came was this, if you have to ask if a Filipina likes you, she doesn't. If she likes you she will come on strong, coming from the west it was refreshing and scary at the same time. If she does not snoop your phone she does not really like you. I really hated this one but I have learned to treat my phone as open. I can't remember to turn it off every time. The rest is 100% accurate. But I would prefer a woman that really loves me and is a bit crazy/jealous rather than all western women who just ignore me. A safety valve is no marriage and renting only for me. Cam

Im sure it was you who previously mentioned. Set the ground rules early on in the relationship, and if she's committed, she will follow. I dont have anything to hide, but the stalking is a definite no no for me. I dont need to look at her phone, and she certainly doesn't need to be looking at mine.

I did'nt know her and we had no relationship but she seemed to think that I could be a money pit to her. It sounded more and more like she was on a fishing expedition and I was the fish, so I ended our chat and wished her and her family well, but said I could'nt help her. She grew silent very fast indeed.

Nowadays I like hanging out with bar girls because they're often fun and definitely open minded. After a while they'll tell you their real situation, whether they have a kid(s) or even a boyfriend. I lived right next to a bar for three months and it was great. Sometimes a girl would just sleep with me because she couldn't be bothered going home. One had a very jealous boyfriend and she'd sneak to my room sometimes to drink with me. I don't think I ever paid for 'it' ... though I did spend money buying them drinks sometimes but not 'ladies drinks', just normal beers. Now I'm in a different area totally so it's back to basics 😏

Mike ! how are you my friend, I just discovered your channel. I am 12 years living full time in the philippines. I came here originally after visiting for a couple of years and I soon realised if I want a life partner I have to live here, the beautiful and smart girls don’t last long if you are away half the year. Before I came here to live I dated them all. A bikini model from Mindanao, bar girls, girls from Manila girls from the province I dated them all, and the things you say I experienced, we all go through the same things, especially the wrong girls looking for money. They’re the ones that are out there, actively looking for foreigners the most. But meeting girls at the airport and taking them on holidays and enjoying time with them is something I did all the time. anyway, I thought I would just introduce myself. There’s nothing that I don’t know when it comes to Filipina. I’ve been dating them for over 12 years now, and I have had three serious relationships. My last one before Covid was the longest, we lived together for three years. It wasn’t like I visited them and I’ve seen it all when it comes to Filipina and their families and there’s not much that doesn’t surprise me anymore. but the Philippines saved my life and if you find a good Filipina, you have struck gold because a good Filipino are the best girls in the world by far and by my experience, they are the province girls not the girls that lived in Manila or Cebu educated in those towns these girls are not really all that much interested in older foreigners so beware if they’re interested in you it’s for something else.

All she wanted is married someone who is American,any American who will fall for her and take her away from the poverty.

Her parents also met her nieces and nephews and her brothers. Her dad just died a month ago. Her mom died 8 months ago. This is all talk to her dad several times when I first met him, he told me I could take his daughter anywhere I wanted to and he said that he said, if I want to be here. That's fine if I want to be in my country. I can take her there if I want to. But it was no go to go to my country. Nothing like that he wasn't talking like that. They just said whatever I wanted to do. She hasn't pressured me about coming in the US or nothing like that. She hasn't asked Me for any money we talk every day, she always talks to me and she always feels like she's not doing a good job, raise her nieces and nephews and I'm telling you, you're doing a great job. What would your mom and dad do if they were here? And she thinks about that it makes her feel better than someone. You know, thinking about her and you know encouraging her and II like to encourage her. She likes me encouraging she. Thanks me for being here for her once again. She has, she's not asking for money. So i've So I'm planning to to meet her in a year. And a 1/2 that gives us 2 years to be talking. We are, we are boyfriend and girlfriendshe is so nice and her family's so sweet.
