    I was married to an American born Filipina for almost 15 years until she passed away from a terminal illness.
    The last 27 months of her life I took care of her myself 24/7. I did everything for her, I learned to do her hair and makeup and dress her in whatever clothes she chose.
    I bathed her and gave her a manicure&pedicure every week plus helped her with her regla every month.
    She refused to let me remodel our home to accommodate a wheelchair so I picked her up and carried her everywhere in our home she wanted me to.
    Our son was 11-13 during that time and got to witness how a “real man” takes care of his wife and doesn’t stick her in hospice where strangers rob her of her dignity.
    Before she passed she made me promise to get married again and not spend my life alone.
    She told me I would have to go to the Philippines to find a woman worthy of a man like me and to be happy.
    Lastly, she told why she refused the wheelchair remodel.
    She said it was because she wanted to be in my arms as much as possible every day 😢😢😢😢😢. I teared up.
    Well I finished raising our son alone, not even dating.
    I found my new soulmate in the Philippines!!
    Yes she is younger than me but not the typical 20ish girls you see with foreigners.
    She’s now 38, I’m 54 and she was a single mother of two children. I adopted both and she and I have 2 children together with a 3rd on the way 😂.
    I have no interest in the absolute hell women in the west put their men through. Those men hit 40, their eyes glaze over, and they definitely have PTSD!
    So if you are a “real man” not a guy, and want an intelligent, beautiful, talented, loving, caring and traditional wife then come to SE Asia.
    Treat them right and you will be happy for the rest of your life.

    Divorced two feminist American women then met a beauty from Japan. I never thought I’d be married three times. However, my first wife constantly belittled me and always wanted to argue about everything. She loved sex but not with me. My second wife was an improvement but constantly had major projects for me to do. I never had anytime to relax. She too loved fucking around. She had an amazing temper and was really paranoid about everyone. My third wife is what I call normal. She is non judgmental and very supportive I what I want and do. She is a fantastic cook, enjoys doing laundry and cleaning house. She is a charmer in public and a sex goddess at home. I don’t know if all Japanese like her but I am finally a happy man.

      I have worked for 7 Japanese men in Indonesia. The wives never want to live in what they call "dirty" SE Asia. Not even one came! They never want to accompany their husbands.
      Japanese men aren't happy with Japanese women. The women are so selfish. One of their wives had this rules...I take care of the kids during the weekdays and I have the weekends to myself. She would be with her friends playing sports. The husband goes out with both kids on the weekends. They NEVER do anything with her. So just the 3 of the them for decades. She was never around during the weekends.
      One western guy married a Japanese woman and lived with her in Indonesia. Of course a western guy won't let the wife not be with him, but she looked miserable. This makes me believe that they are really stuck up. Japan's cleanliness is the same as any western country, but western women would accompany their husbands, even in the slums of Africa. Now I hear from Japanese friend who is a man, nowadays Japanese young couples in Japan have these separate lives from each other. That is such a weird partnership and marriage.

    I met my wife in the Philippines. I met her on Instagram, and chatted for a couple years. She never asked me for money, and she would call me every day to have a conversation; even if it was for 5 minutes. Two years layers I decided to visit her, not expecting much. I was so impressed with her that I wanted to marry her. After more vetting and talking, I finally made it happen and I married her. I’m so happy with her. She’s not perfect, and we have our ups and downs, but the life that I’m having with her, no American woman would give it to me.

      @user-DrJoe-Future Před 11 měsíci

      @@lonley1753 Normally, the answer is no. I give my wife an allowance each week, and she may send some of that money to support her father. Officially, being retired myself, the only family I plan to support is my immediate family which is a wife and two teen daughters which I pay for their very expensive International Private School (they are honor students) and make sure they have some pocket money. I am also paying for my wife's College Degree at 33,500p a semester for a special program where you can get a Business Degree in one year because she already has a 3-year college degree. On the other hand, I do occasionally support her family by funding needed "special projects" on a case-by-case basis. I helped her brother get his car air conditioning fixed. I will give him money to buy paint for the inside of his house that was reconstructed. If her father needs something like vitamins, medicine, food or clothes I always get it for him, he is age 81, but that is not very often, he lives with another daughter. We just flew out for his birthday party which I basically funded, and I bought him multiple types of high quality shoes, pants, and shirts for his birthday. That's what he wanted. But I have no regular allowance going to any family outside my own -- and that was known before we got married, and she agreed with that. I do not even give my daughters a regular or scheduled allowance, but somehow they seem to have money. I said "where did you get the money to buy this stuff that they ordered on Shopee?" They said "You Dad, you're our key benefactor." I am?? "We save up the "tips" you give us for helping you."

      @@lonley1753 my friend, let me tell you. Unfortunately both of my wife’s parents perished over a decade ago. Also, her older brother who made sure she was safe, also perished back in 2019. She has 2 older sisters, and they have good husbands who have stable jobs and incomes. I mean yeah, once in a while when there’s a calamity we’ll send them money or gifts on Christmas. But that’s why I tell the men looking for wife’s in Phils, to make sure she takes care of your money. Make sure she’s not berating you around, and telling family you have money. 1. Make sure she has a job and can support herself without you. 2. Make sure she has strong ties with her family (positive ones). 3. Make sure she believes and has respect for God (or higher being whatever your religion is). 4. She needs to contact you daily without you initiating contact. 5. She needs to take care of your finances. 6. Gives you respect. 7. Wants to create a home with you. 8. Knows how to cook, and doesn’t mind cleaning. 9. Respects your family also. Follow those 9 things and you’ll be fine 👍🏽 good luck 🍀

    I'm also retired with a six-figure income and a very high net worth. I married my late Filipina wife in 1973. She and I worked hard and built our retirement to live in Southeast Asia. We have homes and a resort in four countries. After my late wife passed I married a younger Filipina woman half my age. My young wife still works as a physician at a major hospital, even though I told her we don't need the income, she wants to work because her parents sacrificed to put her through school at John Hopkins in the US. What I like about living here is the culture and the respect the young people give to the elders. The women are sweet and very caring. Maybe this is why there is a high demand for them in hospitals and care centers around the world. I can't say much about Western women because i had only one girlfriend who left me when she found out that i was badly injured in Vietnam. I was only seventeen when i went to war and too young to know what love really meant.

    The western women you presented with their TikTok videos are EXACTLY why so many men are going overseas to start a new life and perhaps begin a new relationship or marriage. Like many of the other men who have moved abroad, I am a successful executive but I also wish to live abroad. It only makes sense to live your retirement in a country where you can afford a much better standard of living but without having to constantly budget. My parents were married for 62 years before my father passed and my mother stayed at home when my sisters and I were young but return to her nursing profession when we were old enough to be at home unsupervised. My father was a shift worker so we always had at least one parent with us. My mother NEVER went insane from being a housewife. She had her friends in the neighborhood who regularly came around during the day for a cup of tea. So many of these western women today think that they are ENTITLED and that the men should serve their every whim. Screw that!!! I am MUCH happier and wealthier WITHOUT THEM! I know too many men who have been financially destroyed during a divorce due to the laws in the western countries. I am not willing to go down that path of destruction and then live as a pauper whilst they live comfortably off my money which I worked for and saved for the future.

    Hear ye me brothers! I have lived in southeast Asia and South America. My declaration is that the Philippines is overwhelmingly ideal for finding a partner because they generally speak English, are a Catholic/Christian nation, and are super family-oriented. There is no other nation that has so many compatible characteristics. Colombian women are lovely but they do not speak English. Learning Spanish is actually quite challenging if you want to express yourself clearly and freely. Philippines wins hands downnnnnnnnnnn. Vietnamese and Thai and Cambodian are far far less compatible with language and religious and cultural differences, which create a perfect storm for misunderstandings and potential conflict.

    I've been married to a Filipina for 16 years now and we live in the Philippines. Best choice I've ever made. We have an awesome relationship and unlike others I had in the past with western women, no fighting and arguing about anything, not even once. Don't get me wrong, we have disagreed on some things a few times but it never devolved into arguments. We take care of each other. In past relationships it was a whole lot of me taking care of her but not much of that care in return. I wouldn't want to give you the impression that all the women here are like this but, if you take your time and use the right head to make your choice, you can end up with an awesome partner that will likely add years to your life due to less stress and more happiness.

    I was married to a German woman who was not a good household contributor and used affection as a lever (by holding back). I acknowledge that part of that was just her personality, not representative of everyone from her culture. I had previously traveled to SE Asia, and I always avoided Filipinas, mostly because I'd end up meeting the wrong kind of girls in the wrong kind of establishments. I eventually decided to give a Filipina I met in Singapore a chance. Though it didn't work out eventually (Coof and other reasons), I couldn't believe that I'd been missing that the whole time. She was just an average girl, though her previous employment wasn't always on the up and up... She treated me better than my ex wife ever did.

    I started dating Asian women in 1989 when I was in my teens and I never looked back. I'd had enough of British girls' wanting to sit on the sofa eating chips and not taking a shower, but the worst was the overwhelming self-entitled, agitated, attitude. My attraction towards the cultures of East Asia later led me to graduate from three universities in subjects that I made a career out of. So, Asian women opened a whole new way of life for me. Depending on the culture - because I believe all Asian cultures are very different - I've enjoyed some of the most exciting and wonderful relationships anyone could imagine and adventures in East & Southeast Asia.

      I read through alot of these comments on this thread and see people shaming men or a couple's lifestyle for what works for them. The fact that men are considered so simple and yet the basics have to constantly be explained to women. The ones who understand have found a situation that works for them. They are happy. They don't diminish a man's contribution to the world and the lifestyle being provided to a woman and the family. Each of us plays a "role" in a relationship.

We do not want to spend a fortune on a fancy house, 2 cars, a nice boat on a trailer, a cabin at some mountain resort and 2 international holidays per year then not even get some respect for all we do for the family. And we end up loosing everything in a divorce. That's why we try our luck in other countries.

    I have been waiting for a video like this. I have had Asian girlfriends since I was a teenager. In 2000 I moved to Thailand for work where I remained for 7 years, I was 39 years old at the time. I immediately noticed the difference in Asian women compared to Western ones. The opening assessment of this in this video is correct. In my first couple of months in Thailand i spent in Bangkok until everything was ready for my move to our factory. I met an American man about my age sitting on the steps of the 7-11 about 3 AM. I noticed he had a shirt that said some USA reference and struck up a conversation as Americans were far a few between back then. He told me had just recently arrived quit his job and moved to Thailand. He told me that he had left America to escape "Sexual Persecution". We discussed how beautiful young women were interested in us and back home overweight unattractive women wouldn't give us a second look.I had a rather average looking girlfriend tell me she was going to find herself a good looking rich guy. It was so easy to meet girls in Thailand. That worked in Department stores, Hotels , restaurants etc. giving me their phone numbers. I eventually met my wife of 23 years and have a 21 year old daughter. My co worker who arrived after me from the US met and married a Thai as well. In both of our cases we were living there and had time to develop genuine relationships. In the small town where we lived there was a bar that was run by an expat where we would all congregate. Almost every long term expat had a Thai wife and children. There was a young American engineer who was there for 6 months working on a Plant that was being built. He commented that we all had Thai wives. He said that he didn't have to worry about that because he did not like asian women. We all just smiled and said oh that's nice. about a month or do later he shows up at the bar one night and says he was getting married and showed us the picture of his amazing fiance. We all looked at each other and said wasn't that the guy that said he didn't like Asian women. I love telling that story.

    Don't be fooled into thinking that SE Asian women who want to date Westerners are expecting to take on a 1950's trad wife role, they can get that sort of male partner at home. Totally agree with your last statement, if you want to be treated like a king, treat your partner like a queen. With a SE Asian partner, sex is not a transaction. You don't do good deeds and expect sex as a reward, that sort of relationship will fail hard.

    i'm 60 years old and worked as a bricklayer with younger fellas in their late 20s early 30s. These 2 fellas went to Vietnam and Cambodia for a month long holiday surfing, fishing and diving. They didn't go with any intentions of looking for wives or anything like that. Anyway they had such a great time and met lots of good people there that they went back again for an extended holiday. This time though they met a couple of lovely women and they both got married. They ended up both moving there to live, they built houses and started tourist businesses. They love the country (especially the way the government doesn't tax you to death, nor do they interfere in your life with ridiculous regulations and rules etc), the people their wives and extended relatives that they now have there. Their wives are winners, they work hard, never complain, are happy and thankful that they are married, having children and living a comfortable happy life. The fellas said that they have never met women like these in Australia, how the women over there love to work and really put in, they don't want expensive material nonsense like hand bags worth 1000's of dollars, they also never whinge and whine about everything. Also to top it off they love surfing, fishing, diving hunting etc, they loved all that stuff before they met the Aussie dudes, it was how they all met, they shared the same love of those things.

    I would like to share my thoughts so please no hate because I mean no offense to anyone. Am speaking as an american born woman from Hispanic/Asian parents. I was married and had two children with my husband. And was with him through illness and when he passed away. I always worked and didn't depend on him to pay for my personal bills, we had a home budget and separate bank accounts, etc. Because he loved shopping and when we had the same accounts was always bouncing accounts. Haha. Anyways, I loved him because we helped each other there wasn't a that's a wife's job or a husband's responsibility but a partnership between us. Am happy that there were things he could do that I can't. I loved that he always opened doors for me and things like this. In my opinion there has to be compassion, respect, love and communication between both. I have many Asian family and friends because in my family we fall for the person, not an image. And will say that it depends on how a person's character and personality are no matter where they're from. The TikTok videos of women saying those things I find personally unacceptable because it's no one's obligation to take care of them. And belittling a man because of where their from is disgusting to me. I now find myself with men who want me to take off their bills etc. The reason am still single. I have been on 3 dates and these gentlemen not only went to the bathroom or got an emergency call all of a sudden when the bill came. But thought somehow I owed them something for paying the bill. Which I found very laughable, I don't care about going half or paying for the entire bill but this can go either way. It's not if a woman is asian that makes her better it's how the ladies or gentlemen are raised and who their around that can influence their way of believing how a relationship should go. Just my thoughts. I wish everyone a wonderful day and enjoy your journey because life is one of those no refund kinda things. Haha. God bless. And God speed.

    I married a Japanese woman in 94. She came here with twin daughters in 90. In the years before her, and the years after her death I've never met a western woman who cared about me. I was simply a free meal. Mai told me once that if she passed away that she treated me to good, so if something ever happened to her to find myself either a Chinese woman or another Japanese woman. She really had nothing nice to say about Filipinos or Thais. She told me that was the equivalent to going to the North side of our town and expecting to find a clean woman. (her words were actually MUCH more vulgar and the north side of my home town is the "wrong" side of town in every possible way)
    I've actually tried to get to know a few Filipina women over the years. Get to know them online, try to visit them. Yeah they were worse than western women when it came to trying to game me. One woman couldn't even keep straight how many kids she had. The other absolutely refused to help me figure out what needed to happen to get her a way to visit the U.S. She expected me to do everything, including things that would've been easier for her to do like checking on local laws etc. Another flatly asked me for money a week into our chats.
    I'll stay single thankyou very much. Maybe the next time my daughter and I go back to Japan to visit her grandmother I'll find myself a old Japanese woman close to my age who doesn't really have any family left but would like to come to the U.S. with me and complain about the younger generation and laugh at stupid people on youtube.

When I was dating I wouldn't go over and talk to a woman with a lot of makeup on. Too much makes a woman look cheap. A man in a dark club, after a few drinks, doesn't know what that woman actually looks like under all that makeup. Is it any wonder, women are being ghosted after sleeping with a man. He probably saw what the woman looked like in the light of day. Too much makeup over years will age your skin with the chemicals in them like lead. Why would she do that to herself?

That divorce bankrupt me, I borrowed $30,000 to get through it all and still wrote off $250,000 worth of debt and lost my car and the ability to visit my only child. Obviously she had a much better lawyer than me. The 2nd one came from money and for no reason she told me to get out. Her mother paid for the lawyer as her parents were multi-millionaires and they were afraid I would go after their money. I was not allowed to go get all of my belongings so I walked away from that. for the next 20 years I dated around and found ALL the single women of various ages and in different locations around the U.S. were not marriage material. Finally I started looking at the Philippines. I had been there in the early 1980s when I was in the Marine Corps and stationed in Okinawa plus had worked with Filipinos in a few of my jobs. Having a good understanding of their culture I went online and did my search. After finding the one, I made a couple of trips there in 2019 to meet her and her family and to travel around. We married in 2022 and even though we have had a few challenges, she still makes me very happy. I am also considering moving there permanently. I love it over there, the people are very friendly, everything is much cheaper over there, and I enjoy Island life and the storms do not bother me. I now encourage every young man to focus on his career until he is 35 or 40 and then go to the Philippines to find a good Province Girl. If she is already in my country then she is already broken!!

    And as long as you have your own money as a woman, you need a man mostly for - partnership. Partnership is something that friendship cannot offer. There is a much stronger connection here. When you get married, you form a new community, a community that is not comparable to a friendship or a friendship+,what many young people like nowadays. You take the responsibility for each other for better or worse. You hold a mutual obligation, especially when you have children together. You are responsible for each other. This is a completely different obligation than you have with a sweet date on tinder.

Putting on a show for society and wanting to die inside is not a solid foundation. You also say "no sane men are advocating to go back to the 50's"...And then listing all the things you think was happening back then and why you want it. Your double speak is amazing.

      Talk all you want, at least things were SOMEWHAT functional. Today, it's just chaotic. No real plan. Just all about "da feelz".

    Financial expectancies (apart from visa having wings ) by extended family members in poor countries is one of the main problem affecting marriages when Americans, Canadians, English, or anyone from a rich country marry someone from poor countries. I have seen that happening over, and over here in Jamaica. Some people refuse to visit here home, because their partner will be exploited, and they will be embarrassed. I mentioned 'visa having wings" , because some extended family members want to exploit the marriage as an opportunity to get to these countries. Do you have a brother, or sister who wants to marry me too? Its the truth. It hurts me to see that happen, because collectively it does not look good for us, and no one deserve it.

    I found my fiance overseas. Despite everything going wrong in my life the past four years, she is still by my side. A Western woman would have left me the moment I had a problem. All I want is a family of my own. I cannot have that here in the West, especially in the US.

    Why must a man pay a woman's rent?
    I live in 🇯🇲 and I find this criteria very wild and ridiculous. What is this mindset?
    Dinner? Yes clothing as gifts? Yes Possible transport (local)? Yes
    Rent, tuition/schooling, inter country travel, living expenses...unless you are my wife, men are not obligated to this. Also there are men who give into these criteria like mad people.

      Delusionally they feel entitled to men's money for nothing more than sex because that's the only thing a lot of them offer and the man gets stuck with all the bills.

    Nice Video.
    I'm asian and I must say yes I was more caring and I only focus on my ex Scandinavian husband until I realized that he never really prefer me in the first place because he talked to another women prior to meeting me.i felt very disrespected .it got worse when I started working he barely buys anything anymore I paid for most things he said he wanted a housewife but we barely had money.so that's when I decided to leave.id rather have a real man who knows his responsibility than a man who just depends on me and my income.

Excellent video and very informative and "Thank you" for sharing the video...

    You failed to mention one other big point, the family court systems. In the Philippines I have way more rights as a father than I do in America. This is a very big thing to many men. For me I had always wanted a family, having grown up on a multi generational farm. Well my first marriage in the US failed do to my x liking other men, and with the family court systems I lost my daughter. Not because I was a bad Dad, or she was a great Mom. It simply works that way in the US. I will also say it has alot to do with American womans attitude. There a bunch of man haters, and "victims". They take 0 responsible for anything, and bring 0 to a relationship other than sex. Personally I could give a rats arse what those woman think of me. I payed my dues, I'll do what I want to be happy in life. They just mad since they cannot be happy.
