- A brief talk about Toxic behavior in the Philippines started by people most expats are trying to get away from. We also discuss the word simp that is used to belittle expats here.
- Zábava
I must have touched a nerve with some because we lost 4 subscribers on it. Lol
Did all 4 have the surname, Simpson?
Well Steve, the truth hurts. You don't need them.
Well you just gained 1 more! I've just come across your vlog recently, and I agree with everything you have said so far. Keep up the good work. I too hate that word and have been called that before on a few comments I have made standing up for Filipinas. Sorry to hear about your back problems. I'm dating a Filipina LDR right now. We have met in person once. I will be returning in September to visit again for the second time this year. I plan on retiring there in 5 years when I turn 60. Would love to meet you maybe one day.
Usually only used to describe guys being used as a walking ATM.
Exactly..or the guys who go in to the female vloggers channels and tell them they are beautiful and shower them with compliments.
Helping people is one thing and being taken advantage of, enabling bad behavior and poor decision IS another.
Simp? Don't be one. It's a real word used to describe real people. Don't be one. But rather just be a man. Not a jerk but a man.
Standing outside my Life, without a full understanding of the dynamics going on, then judging me and calling me names?
Dude thats so Junior High.
Exactly why we brought it up.
@@MrSteven5975👏👏
Yes, you're talking about the kind of attacks that should have been left behind when people left high school! Unfortunately, behind a digital wall, there are people still behaving this way. It's good to call it out every now and then Steve. Well done from Perth, Australia 👍🏻
My marriage was as if the old comedians used my marriage with my ex-wife as part of their comedy routine. Marriage is a give and take relationship, I give she takes.
Only time I ever heard it used was on one bloggers channel who I listened to one time but he was angry and calling almost everyone who disagreed with him a simp. I had to look it up and I decided to never go to his channel again. The one thing I’m sure of is he will never have a meaningful relationship because his attitude sucks. His whole channel is trying to bring everyone down to his level and he loves to see people hurting. Which is quite sad really. He is miserable in his life.
a 'simp' is a male who tires to negotiate genuine desire based attraction from a woman .. which is NOT possible by the way .. he IS needy and tries to 'buy' a woman's love .. having a genuine desire to help others with no expectation of anything in return and/or providing for one's wife or girlfriend where genuine love has ALREADY been established is not being a simp .. that is simply being a good and responsible person.
Exactly!!! People use the word any way they feel and usually it’s wrong.
@MrSteven5975
yup they're completely ignorant and uneducated on the meaning and usage of the word
Being charitable and in that context is not simping.
I thank GOD I have never heard that word and therefore have never used it!
I taught engineering there for 4 years to graduate engineers. I needed to learn technical Tagalog along with conventional Tagalog to get along better with my students, co workers and neighbors. The one thing I ask everyone was to please not teach me any insults, or cuss words in their language. That was 12 years ago. To this day I don’t know even one bad word in Tagalog. I have been married to my Asawa for 15 years. I have never heard a bad word yet! That I am thankful for. I have never ran across an instance that I would need a bad word for anyone there! Your right! The people I know there were kind and very respectful!
Being an empathic charitable person and "simping" are two completely different things.
You have men out there who don't mind being a walking ATM even when they know they're being taken advantage of. Or those who run back to a cheating girlfriend or spouse time and time again, No matter how one chooses to look at it that's definitely simping.
They kill the word though
@@MrSteven5975 I fully agree with you, it's definitely overused just like the word racist nowadays. They get tossed around and used so freely in situations where they're not even called for that they've lost all meaning and effectiveness.
The term "simp" is a slang word used to describe someone, typically a man, who shows excessive sympathy, attention, and flattery towards another person, usually a woman, in pursuit of a romantic or sexual relationship, without receiving the same feelings or treatment in return.
The term is generally used in a derogatory way to criticize or mock men who are perceived as being overly desperate, submissive, or willing to debase themselves for a romantic prospect who does not share the same feelings.
It's shame when Western toxicity spreads. I admire that you help other expats - especially veterans. I've also been wondering what will become of World Zoom. I actually enjoyed Paul's perspective.
Steve.....thanks for the heads up on the term.....I am a Vet and will be moving to the Philippines soon......very much appreciate your willingness to put things out there and say it like it is....thank you .
You're a blessing to so many, Steve. Eventually I still hope to get there and meet you. Plans for SRRV acquisition last October were providentially dashed, but we persevere!
The first time I came across this word I could guess its meaning from the context, but just to be sure I looked it up. My dictionary said it was an abbreviated form of "simpleton." I'm no fool, but I do take a healthy pride in being a simple man. Straightforward, that is. Transparent. But no name-caller, and no sycophant toward women or anyone else. Yes, Steve, the name-caller is often projecting his issues onto others. Talk is cheap. What the world needs is more real men of the strong, silent type. Thanks!
Steve I am 80 and been here 15 years. I never heard that word! Thanks for the info. Never too old to learn he he.
You bet!
I thought it meant "Some Idiot Must Pay"
Good update
Never heard this word until watching Thai and Philippine expat channels.
The two most used words clout and simp.
Younger generation loves this slang.
Simp can be when a woman takes all advantage and the guy doesn't see or understand
It’s crazy how, even grown men, get hooked on the latest and greatest fad word or phrase.
Wife and I came here in the Philippines to get away from the drama and all the PC I found in California.
Good content. I've never heard the term Simp used to refer to people who help other people. Here in the Philippines I've only heard it used to describe older expats who spend a lot of money on a young filipina in order to keep there relationship going. It doesn't equate to married couples, or couples who have been together for a long time, or helping others who you're not in a relationship with.
Never heard of it before....
I agree Steve. When the term was sparsely used, it had meaning. Like any insult, when it's overused, it loses significance. People tend to use these terms when they want to degrade, not when they want to teach. It's possible to describe someone's actions as ill-advised without cutting them down as a person. I asked a therapist of mine what the guys in jail have in common, he told me "mommy issues." They project their issues with their mother onto all women.
Contrary to popular belief, the word "simp" isn't short for sympathetic. It's original is from the life. In the book "Gentlemen Of Leisure", the NYC pimp Silky declares, "Simping is half-a--ed pimping"
It's an internet slang getting popular among young people in the last decade. Internet get worse and worse in the last thirty years. I still remember the first time I used yahoo chat rooms in the 1990s, most people were like gentlemen and gentle woman.
I liked those chat rooms 15 or 17 years ago. But then something happened and they became terrible. I actually met my wife of 14 years in a Yahoo chat room.
Never heard it before, but it sounds like different people have that have no life and do things to try to make themselves feel like they have a life. SAD!
Hi Steve, I’m just a long time viewer of your Channel. I never heard of that acronym before I started to watch CZcams. You’re correct I also find it toxic. There is nothing wrong in giving unconditionally to those in need of genuine help. I think most people recognise the difference between giving help and being exploited.
I guess I am a "Simp".
I will never stop helping people.
I come from the poorest of the poor in the U.S..
I know what it's like to not be able to afford to buy bottled water or food.
I will not change ever
I will always help people if it's feasible for me.
This is a new word to me and I have not heard this word used before. I also was a school teacher. I guess I try to keep my company, friendships and comrades to be of people I would like to become like or will support me in my actions for we support each other. So, the people you spoke of are people that I don’t care to associate with. I do try to help others, but I will not go down in their sinking ship. I will give caution and give advice to them, but that’s where I draw the line. Good topic and good information to know. Thank You. 😊
Haven't heard of it, but I can see it hit a real nerve here, haha.
Lol
Sir you speak nothing but facts. I always tend to avoid heavy tourist areas and foreigners for a reason. You're doing your retirement the right way. Keeping to yourself, staying within your means, and just doing what makes you happy. Happy Memorial day weekend let's not forget 🇺🇸
Great video, as always enjoy your thoughts, trolls will use all kinds of words to attempt to give then importance, well they think so. Your advice provides many intended expats a better view of life in the Philippines 🤔🤗♥️
Well said!
Thanks for the clarification and definition, have heard it a few time and thought I understood how it was being used in the context of the sentence. Would never use that word my self, am not one to put someone down for being generous with their time, talent or treasure. Noticed it is usually trolls that use this word, trying to provoke an argument in the comments. Never heard any vloggers using it before, am sure am not subscribed to those who do.
Have a good one and thanks for the video, Steve...Jim
I heard the word used a lot by bloggers in various channels. Can’t say I’ve Hurd many people using in a conversations in person. That said, I think it does describe very well a lot or these guys in LDRs that send gobs of money and buy scooters, trickes, appliances, phones and even real property for women who they met once, or not at all. In our circles those guys come up a lot - and in view of just that, the word ‘simp’ is not only apropos, but comes in very handy. Sorry but I do accept the word as I hear it a lot and know exactly what it means… jussayin’
My wife and I did some digging into what happened to Paul. He never served his time for his crime. After he was bailed out, he fled. He only claimed he did his time. The US have been looking for him for years.
Interesting. I always felt something was up and then a Subscriber sent me the article on home and I read it on my Livestream and everyone went crazy over the story.
Good riddance to anyone who would unsubscribe due to this video. Your channel is better off without them. Keep up the great work and keep on helping people in need.
Steve , I've heard term SIMP...[Simpleton]..used referring to unmarried guys in the US continously sent money to women on dating sites who have zero intention of having a real relationship with them. Then there is the term " Walking ATM" ...but that's another video. Thanks
It’s an overused term for the wrong people I’ve noticed.
Trust me dude I've given too much in my lifetime.
Been here seven years now and I've never heard of it.
It’s a pimp term for sympathy, yes your right it’s used to disconnect your humanity to make you cold hearted. Lames picked it up and ran with it. I feel the same way great video
Incel is my personal favorite. 😆 Labels are signs for those without minds. If you're a SIMP, man, take it as STRAIGHT
INTELLIGENT
MEANINGFUL
PHILANTHROPIST
Make the word work for you.
Lol
I like FINE - Farked Up, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional… so when you ask someone how they are and they say fine, now you can look at that differently 😂 Got to love word, and acronym play…
Those who mistake kindness for weakness shall reap the toxic karma what they have sown, nuff said.
It is over used that is for sure.
If your endorphins get tickled and you get a buzz off of helping people then great. Whatever floats your boat. That isn't a simp.
Those of us, as a result of military service, who lack compassion, sympathy, empathy, or pity aren't toxic. We just don't get anything out of charity. That isn't toxic. Its natural for us.
Simp is over used but so is toxic.
Happy Wife, Happy Life.
Happy Husband, Suspicious Wife.
Buzz words and buzz titles lead to I hope I can get a click. Any slang words tends to lead to people who have no humanity and just living for the internet
The concept of relationships being partially transactionall is ancient. The Old Norse guide to living, the Havamal, indicated that relationships and friendships are partially transactional. It describes the concept of mutual gift giving to cement friendships.
Well I guess they will call me a "simp" but not because I am needy it is because I am a true christian and i strive to be like Jesus who is also like a "simp" therefore to me being called a "simp" is a compliment and I will wear it as a badge of honor. I truly pity the poor fool who uses this word maliciously.
🤔…..simp-ly outstanding topic today Steve! I have zero ‘simpathy’ for those ‘toxexpats’ who seem to derive some simp-listic fun out of cutting down other people who are genuinely helping out others (with no expectation of getting anything in return).
I was going to suggest “simpleton” for the meaning of the symbolic (or would that be ‘simp-bolic’) flashing red light over their heads but, yeah, “idiot” is a far better moniker.
If those ‘toxexpats’ could just learn to be ‘simpatico’ it would be a far better world.
We make a living from what is earned, we make a life from what we give.....😊.......Vit B1 Bentothiamine or Nutritional yeast. NERVE ISSUE.

I can tell you i have to laugh today because in the last five years ive seen several volggers go from never get married to now married to never buy land and build a house to buying land and building houses.
I was considered a Simp all because when im involved in a relationship i actually care and love each of my five girlfriends over the last 24 years three relationships lasted 5,6,and 10 years.
Each of these woman got a house to live in and raise our kids.
My wife and i have celebrated our 1 year anniversary as of the 27th we've been together going on 6 years and 3 homes later.
Ive decide instead of moving back to the states with her every two years we will be buying land and building a house that she can use as rentals after im dead and gone.
I love my wife to much to move her the United States she would be there one month and say ive seen enough time to go home.
Goood video Steve.
Clearly I am a 'simp'. My wife and I own property; we also have commercial interests. My wife and I have a decent income. We pay for the education for our kids and others in the family. We also employ Filipinos in our business. I dunno, maybe, being a simp isn't too bad.
Not heard of it Steve - & I'm 74. -- Perhaps it's the company I was fortunate enough to have kept in my life ? -- Sounds a bit like a - 'liberal vernacular' - I was able to avoid in my 'midwestern life' ? 🤔So glad !
World Zoom tried to do an SRRV and landed him in the Immigration Jail. Before he was on a tourist visa. Not sure what else has been discovered. We'll soon find out.
Maybe before as well, but this time for sure he was on a Tourist Waiver. He intended to apply for the 29 day Tourist Waiver Extension, but because he's a dumb as a rock, he applied for something else and it hit the fan for him shortly after.
That's a sad turn of events for him because I really enjoyed his channel
@@Frank_Nemo Maybe he should have contacted Steve for some good advice.
excellent tackling of the topic.
If you don’t like the word “simp”, give another word to describe these desperate overly needy idiots. There is a difference between a nice guy helping out people and idiots being obviously taken advantage of just to make friends. For me, I don’t keep that kind of person in my circle
In my book what other people do is none of my business unless they involve me. What do I care if people spend money on a girl for attention. Labels are for jars not people.
100% in agreement! Any time I hear someone use that term it tells me a lot about that person. It doesn’t tell me everything about a person, but it’s a red flag that gets me assessing who they really are.
Definitely a red flag.👍
I don't think I have been called a sinp yet. Good video Steve.
I don’t care what labels people put on me. I see it all the time in the comment sections on social media. All that matters to me is what my immediate family think of me.
Well, I certainly feel like an idiot for all the Filipinas I helped online. It has at least better prepared me for scammers when I do come. I wish I had never sent one penny. It has left me very suspicious of any Filipina.
I think what you are trying to say is that being generous, kind and accepting doesn't mean one is being used or taken advantage of.
Exactly
I never used or liked this word.its sad to see many nice guys get chewed up here.keep on the positive and leave the negative people in the rear vision mirror
I never heard that word until now.
Sip, sipping or being a beta male is disgusting big difference between caring and showing affection and given to a relationship and a woman compared to simping and being a beta male
I think you’re right and I like to listen to you while we’re on words one word I try not to use is the word hate because I believe it makes us hateful if we say it all the time 😀🌴🌴🍺🍺🍺
Well the Philippines is my Plan B expat location, I am currently in Europe, what I have discovered is when you move to a new destination, you are better off keeping your distance from other Americans, they tend to bring their drama with them. There are a few CZcamsrs in the PI you could not pay me to hang out with, one claiming the #1 CZcamsr in the PI is a shining example of what not to be when you are an expat. You Steve and two others (one is married to Janet and the other is married to Baby May) they are my goto for info tubers, the one that “had” to return to the US but never did, I watch three or four of his videos on how he was going back to the US , turned out to be drama click bait, he lost my views. 😊
💯 percent agree. I have skills to make my CZcams channel. But I said. Nahhh it’s not worthy. I can’t deal with people ignorance and crap 😅
There are circadas in the Philippines? Do I hear circadas in the background in the video?
Cicadas yes
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Sometimes myself troll certain bloggers vloggers with that word sometimes because they are what they are
Hampaslupa is a very toxic word. I hear locals using it all the time.
I didn't even know that could be a bad word, but all right, LOL. xD I'm probably a simp, but it wouldn't offend me to be called one. Girls should pay attention to the words men use. If they use the word "Simp," that means the dude is selfish and wants it all about them. That's the type of dude that will cheat on them and treat them badly. Another example is, "I'm looking for a non-western woman with traditional values." Meaning he wants to be served and will probably have a difficult personality.
At the end of the day, we need to treat each other like humans and our partner should be our friend, not just a transaction. If the other person doesn't return that favor, pick a woman with better character. Good character is needed for both men and women.
You're my kind of people Steve
Same here- never heard of the word.
I care so little about what any blogs have to say except for the select few run by intelligent balanced individuals not even worth wasting thought time on. 😊
Great information ❤
Glad you think so!
Well said 👍🏾
First encounter with this word...must be out of touch with the times 😮
First😂
I never heard this word until recently.
Yea, first time I heard of this Word was on sunshine shoulders. Before that, never.
I never heard of it as well
I've heard the word before. I just looked up or tried to look up the meaning. It seems there are a few different definitions.
As for you paying your neighbor's rent I never heard that but unless I'm mistaken I believe I heard you say at one time that you were paying the rent for the nephews of your ex.
You talk about toxic and not coming over here for that and I'm with you there. So after hearing you rail about age gaps multiple times and then what you're trying to sell fails do you think that's going to go unnoticed?
I’ve helped others for sure that needed help. But the twist people put on it is pathetic at the least. Normal things get turned into trash talk. They put a twist on your life to damage your character. It’s very sad that we come to retire to see this garbage here.
Because just because you help people in the Philippines, doesn’t mean you’re a Simp got that twisted
Some go after Vloggers and expats that help others get ahead and use it
"Simp", can also mean mean Gullible/Foolish!
If I have let's say 1400.00 SS How much cash should I have as well to live good there, (cash numbers please)
I have stayed at BGC,Makati were Air B&B, 700 to 800 USD per month.
Cities Mandolyoung,Taguig,Cebu at Carcar,Dalagute cheaper. Mactan Lapu Lapu, again it varies. Get your boots on the ground, than travel around different Barangays. Obviously, out of the city areas Provinces are cheaper. But than again we will have transportation issues. Keep in mind most Buses and Jeepny, No AirCon. As always have an exit plan from any country. I arrived January, 2020 when the “Bug” began.
I lasted 6 months, never left Mactan.
Due to the many Gov. restrictions. It was a surreal experience, that I will never forget. Mabuhay
2-3K a month to live Comfortably
@@rafaelcastillo2636 what were the Government restrictions you seen
I would say "Bro's" is; I'm old enough. I know what it's short for without spelling it out.
If you’re in a relationship… you’re gonna be giving much more than getting. Simp ? …It doesn’t translate to Tagalog…. 🤔
I’m looking for a nice retirement in Eastern Europe. Philippines looks way too hot and muggy.
If you don't care for heat and humidity, the Philippines would not be a good choice for you. There are a lot of good options in Eastern Europe. Good luck to you.
@@DrDlane 👍
I love my Woman, I take care of my Woman,thats what Men do, Im A proud Simp ! why waste your time making A video talking about toxic (miserable) People, I really like all of your videos except this one. you gave toxic people the time of day,something they dont deserve,they are all running from something, your living An awesome life,the phills was made for people like you,unfortunately bad Apples get in,because the USA gives anyone A Passport, it would be a pleasure to meet you some day. and get some great advice . I hope you continue to make videos, they have been A Great help to me,and Im sure have helped many others.Thanks
I've never heard of the word.
The word "simp" can be used in different ways. Understand the context for which it's being used.
Look up the slang version
Its usage seems to me to be a sign of immaturity and a lack of depth of character to judge another on surface details without knowing the entire context and picture.. Because yes some guys, are nice to a fault, but if they do it for the right reasons, not for an outcome.. like sex, or anything else.. Then its the opposite of the definition given I believe... Don't be a doormat should be on anyone's well, doormat...lol
Simp = Simple..?
It’s a different meaning
Simpleton
@@CraigKerwood-001 A foolish or gullible person.
wrong people that use that word are not all toxic masculine men wrong
Not all but many
The word “simp” is used by dating and relationship coaches (and their sycophantic followers) as a derogatory term to mask their personal insecurities. Biologically speaking, it’s no secret that MEN (as opposed to little boys who haven’t grown up yet) are genetically programmed to protect and to provide. I’ve noticed that the people using the term simp are almost always insecure adult males that still think and act like little boys and are either incapable or unwilling to do either… They lack the backbone to protect and are either too self-centered or are underachievers that are too insecure to provide help for others.
When I help others I don’t do so expecting something in return. I help because I’m able and the person I’m helping simply needs a little “boost” to get on their own two feet. And when I’m offered thanks, I tell them to pass it along when they’re in a position to do so…
A 15 minute video which couldve been performed in less than 5 minutes. 😢
But like Sinatra says….. I did it my way……😜
Great info thank you so much!
Never heard of that word. Stupid acronyms. Must be a millenial thing. Like quiet quitting.
Anyone who’s over 50 years old using the word simp to belittle people is just a old expat who think he’s still young lmao
Bingo
@@MrSteven5975 it make sense why they still aren’t married and most likely never be. Like you said a relationship is a give and take, I would rather show my love one I will take care of them than not.
