    SIMP! We've got too many guys spoiling the dating scene for those of us who're boots on the ground. Several of the girls in our neighborhoods have multiple "sponsors" from the West, living high on the hog, getting their needs serviced by local guys. They're making fun of the guys sending all this money. Guys, stop sending money to strangers!!!

      I agree with Mike. A good Filipina may ask for money. Asking, in and of itself, doesn’t make a Filipina a bad woman. Having said that, I understand your point. 100% of the bad ones ask for money so it is a red flag. But just because 100% of the bad ones ask for money that doesn’t logically mean 100% of those who ask for money are bad. That is the same logical error as the following ::: 100% of the time it rains there are some clouds in the sky, thus 100% of the time there are some clouds in the sky it rains. Nope. It can be cloudy without raining just like a woman may ask for money and not be a bad woman.

    The fact that this girl is going to college in Cebu, away from her family, means that the family can afford to pay the tuition fees, the boarding house, her food, etc. If they couldn't afford that, she wouldn't be there! So why should you start sending money, Scott? And if you know about yourself that you have bad hygiene, do something about it! Shower every day, brush your teeth, shave, use Cologne, get a haircut, dress well ... Man, these are things that you have in your own hands!

    One thing important that Mike always share (and he is pretty consistent with it) is that men should be financially stable to enter into any relationship. So he should take care of himself first and make sure that he is stable. Otherwise he has no business bringing someone into his life. A man who is not financially stable is setting himself in a lot of hurt and frustration if he cannot provide. That is the nature of a man. A man’s happiness is his ability to be a provider and a protector. Of course you have to be smart too and make sure that the woman is on the same page as you and not taking advantage.

    On my journey preparing to live in SE Asia, I met dozens of men who said they want to go like me. All of them live in severe denial. Financially, physically, emotionally they could never leave the US because they don’t have a contract with reality. I do. I lost my loving sweetheart to cancer two years ago and stayed to care for my mom for 10 years - she passed recently. Two weeks after my mom passed I was in SE Asia. I was setting the table for my feast of life. You see I love myself and treat myself accordingly. I don’t abandon myself. I have very high self esteem because I do esteemable acts like take care of my loving partner by myself every day until she passed and the same for my mother. So now it’s my time. Healthy relationships are reciprocal. Even though someone may not be able to be reciprocal financially they can be reciprocal others ways. LDR aren’t healthy and feed unhealthy fantasy

Until you meet and spend time together you are in the getting to know phase. I’d say stop sending and say he’s saving it to come visit her and see her reaction. Scott, work on your issues before trying to enter a relationship and get your boots on the ground. There are plenty of girls over there so don’t fall for the first one that smile at you.

She could be pretending to be his girlfriend because he's sending her money. She can also have a Filipino boyfriend according to her Facebook post that she's in a relationship. Beautiful Filipina women get a lot of attention from Filipinos. Some Filipina women have local boyfriends, and at the same time go online and seek foreigners for financial support.

    She promised if I help her come to America she will come to Ohio and be with me. She needed this that and the other thing of a long list. In the end she got me for 2500 bucks all dragging it out she would come here and she ghosted me after I stopped sending money and asked for receipts. Her name was Hanna wonder if it's the same girl?

    This is a rental - just come to grips with it - then decide if it’s worth the money to have someone to talk to - also never never do the K1 thing until you have lived with her for atleast 6 months - I was with my girl 2 years before we did the K1 approach

    If the guy just wants an online friend that's fine.
    Sending money is just a mistake.
    Chat online if you are not great socially or are just a very private person.
    But save your money and get your arse over to the Philippines yourself.

  • @franek1643
    @franek1643 Před 3 měsíci +2

    Have partners to chat with abroad is totally okay, as long as you don't send any money. Maximum is for the load, because she is using it for you (maybe not only you hehe). 5-10 $ is enough for that. And if you sometimes have fantasies about that girl, why not? Thoughts come and go... it's just having a good time to bridge the period you cannot go abroad yet and learn about persons and the country in advance. Be aware that things may come out different when you enter the country and meet in person.

    I would tell him to save his money and wait until he comes if that is his intention, unless he can afford to throw money away. Chances are, she has a BF, and even if she doesn't, the chance of a relationship with her working isn't good. I made many of the same mistakes he has, and I have decided that online dating is a loser. They get your money and you get very little in return. Some friendship and love, but it's not real. It's better to just wait until you get to the Phils, IMO.

    Sounds to me like he needs a Saint and not a girlfriend. It's just a decision to have good hygiene and it's unlikely that she would look past it. I would ask him, what's the purpose of the fridge. Most likely the fridge was for her family or maybe a nearby sari-sari store that she owed money (utang). In a boarding house expenses are normally a set rate just like the rent. $20 for water in the Philippines is insane, you can't drink it. Mike you mentioned that she might be staying with other girls in the room. It's also possible that she is related (cousins) with them and she is just embellishing the cost so she can pay for them as well. $2000 dollars over a 2.5 month period is terrible. Even if this girl was genuine when they first met, he has ruined her and the entire family by sending the equivalent of nearly 2 years wages in 2 months. He will forever by an ATM now, and once the money dries up, so will her time. Chaulk it up to a charitable donation and work on yourself before visiting the Philippines.

    On a serious note, he should stop sending money. No chance of any serious relationship until he retires 8 years from now and she’s not waiting around. Chances are it won’t work out when he meets her. He needs some experience first in talking to girls.

  • @habsguy1966
    @habsguy1966 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I don't think its a scam. Scott needs to fix his personal issues. He knows what they are and has to do some work on himself and fix those issues. By fixing the things he stated he will start to feel better about himself and self confidence will come back. If he doesn't he will stay lazy and unhealthy. He will not have a reasonable relationship with any Filipina till he does. A good Filipina takes care of herself,her family, and her home. I hope Scott fixes his problems. Interesting video Mike. Thanks

    Mike his emails (confessions) to you are a form of therapy and self improvement for him. Him admitting all those things 'out loud' is a first good step. But if I had to guess, he's looking for you to confirm what he already knows about himself..... that he's Simping. I'm in agreement with the advice you gave. He needs to start working on himself. Peace and Love, B Goat

  • @Kevin-G-7
    @Kevin-G-7 Před 3 měsíci +2

    The answer of whether or not it is a scam depends on your definition of scam. For me, a scam has to involve dishonesty. If she was honest about all the things she spent money on AND was honest about relationship intentions, then it isn’t a scam. However, I think it is likely that she has been at least a little dishonest. If she has no intention of being with him but allows him to think she does, that is scamming. If she never bought a refrigerator for the dorm, that is a scam. If her phone was good enough and she claimed she couldn’t do this or that and she really could (or didn’t want to do it even if she could) then that is a scam. I think the temptation to get money is very powerful and it would be hard to not mislead some, even if not whole-hog. If I had to place a bet, I would bet low-level scamming has occurred though not all the money was given under a scam.

  • @MobileGamingChronicles

    @lballc9161 Před 3 měsíci +2

    She’s 24, and now she has money. And he is all the way across the world. No offense, but by sending money, he is making her more marketable, again nothing is wrong with that, but he is all the way across the world. It’s nice for a woman to depend on a man if the man is present. But he is not. Young beautiful woman , 24, given some sort of a financial independence without the man around is a recipe for disaster. She is just way too young, and without some sort of a guidance it could be bad. He should fly to the Philippines and meet the girl. This way they can really measure each other. Right now, she has no idea how it is like to be with him. That’s a big question mark.
    Having said this, at least she is going to school with your money. It’s still way lot better that wasting money on onlyfans page. 😂😂
    And Mike! Good advice as always!

    I agree with you. He needs to get off is butt and work on himself and invest in himself before even chatting with a Filipina. Find out where the nearest barbershop is. Get your hair colored if needed. Shave. Clean your house, etc. Additionally, try fixing any medical or dental issues you may have before thinking of coming to the Philippines to retire.

Why on Gods green Earth would you send that amount of money to anyone you don't know an most especially to a young woman you have never met in person, He should never come to the Philippines because he will become a more broken man than he already appears to be. He needs to definitely get his act together, stop sending money period. He will be used badly and the relationship is transactional so no it will not work.

But even then I find it very unattractive to be with a woman that is plain broke.. she should be working a plan with education and self-sufficient or I'm not interested never confuse money and love.. my last Cambodian fiance instantly disqualified herself buy uttering the words don't you have any money. That was the second it all turned and I decided she was not ever coming to USA.. in essence her value went down to nothing... Also her young teen daughter like to set things on fire
