Since 2012 I’ve been traveling through various islands of the Philippines as a full-time Expat and spent 1999 living in Vietnam.
Share with me my ongoing adventures of life in the Philippines. Hopefully you find my observations helpful in your own adventures.

Wise words indeed Reekay.
I’m 35 and in major debt from my useless degree with no assets and I make 40k/yr. I could have made 40k/yr by merely continuing to work the Starbucks job i had in high school and making manager eventually; instead I decided to take massive and unforgivable government backed loans and invest 8 years of my time in an arts degree.
I may or may not be equipped with 2-4 of another man’s children from 3-6 different men – but don’t worry! I’m a strong and independant woman who don’t need no man.
I spent my 20s “finding myself” [Editor’s note: bouncing on different d!(*s], and now that i’m on the right combination of meds from my theapist I’m finally in a place where I can focus on the next stage of my life.
I might be covered in tattoos with blue hair and braided armpit hairs, that’s just because FUCK THE PATRIARCHY.
Now I’m either not willing to have more babies, or I’m ready to have an extremely expensive test tube baby! Be mindful that I don’t cook or clean! I know my worth and i don’t settle for less!
Where’s prince Charming??
My ex-wife tried to get my house and I burned it down
A friend here in the U.S. paid every penny for his 300 thousand dollar house. He had finally paid off his mortgage. But then she ran around and divorced him and he had to give his wife half and half of his 401K. So then he had to take out another mortgage for 150K. It cost him about 400K all together for the divorce.
Even if I wanted to get married, it’s simply NOT an option smh. There are few things in this world I can think of that have so much risk to minimal to zero reward. It’s incredibly illogical to take part in what is a lopsided contract
My marriage ended peacefully about 7 years ago since we have always gotten along. I paid child support faithfully until my youngest graduated high school back in June. The fact of the matter is I have always been a very dedicated father and continue to be.
I realize that today’s divorces are causing more nightmares so remember to get those pre-nuptial agreements if you marry again!
From down under Reekay………thats my story, U’re spot on to the enth!! detail
Love in life .
I’ve lived the nightmares of which you speak in the West. Most of it before the internet and the collective wisdom contained therein. You are correct. Western marriage is utterly and completely destroyed. The US (and many Western) legal system(s) is blatantly misandrist. It is a weapon f’nist women can wield to destroy a series of men, taking their finances and children from them. Children are usually just a pawn to extract more money from the man, and they are quickly farmed off to daycare and public schools. Western women don’t even care about their own children, as evidenced by them ending over 80 million of their own unborn … mostly in the name of convenience or career. Family law is not the only misandrist legal option open to women. False accusations are rampant, with the woman not having to provide a shred of evidence for her accusations. Even if the man is not imprisoned, his career, life and finances are often destroyed. When the charges are discovered to be false, no action is taken against the woman who made them. One popular variation of this is a woman who is married or in a relationship is caught cheating. Instead of accepting responsibility, she claims her affair partner assaulted her. He is arrested, even imprisoned, and she escapes accountability. If a woman will end her own child to save her career, there is no limit to what she will do to a man for personal gain.
Good video. Also, the other 56 % do not mean that they’re necessarily happy. They may not find the courage to divorce or won’t do it because they can afford to pay rent on their own..
Another great vlog that is appreciated. I’m still shell shocked 16 years since my divorce. No hurry to get back into that legal grinder. Betrayal comes so easily for women. Emotional betrayal is the first. Then divorce with no holds barred. Men are divested of their hard-earned assetts and judicially emasculated through the courts of America.
Cosmopolitan Magazine UK. cost me my first marriage with all that psychological stuff women need to look out for in their man.
the simple rule is don’t get married or have kids in the West. oh hang on, lots of men have learned that one which is one reason why we keep taking loads of immigrants to make up the numbers.
its all gone a bit mad but hey, atleast the lawyers are making loads
For many, the child support goes to getting her salon highlights, nails and luxury auto payment meanwhile little junior has holes in his shoes
Yet, the US still makes it very difficult for Filipina ladies to come to the US, even if just for a visit, and even if she is your wife!
The Beatles got it right! “Can’t buy me love”
Also, attraction isnt a choice. Either there is primal attraction or not. Leading by money to attract women usually ends badly. But simps will be simps.
Asian woman are so much better to be with. And law’s in those countries are much better for relationship.
Dating/Relationship/Love being a nightmare in the U.S. is an understatement.
I wouldn’t even be dating in the U.S. even if a 3rd party was paying for it.
Bottom line is, if you have your sh$t together, DO NOT get married. PERIOD!!!
Unless she’s 3X your net worth.
International friends with benefits is top of the line choice for a successful, peaceful older man!
In the UK these women are called slappers.
Good video and a very good reason why marriage and being with some women are just a losing game that can cause pain the man, both emotionally, physically, and even financially, now you know why men are going overseas and the Philippines for good, stable minded and traditional women that want to make marriage and partnerships work. The West, especially the United States…Is just crumbling on most all necessary fronts for marriage and other things needed for a good relations. Peace
This has been the game for decades. The difference is amount of info available from creators like yourself, and others who’ve experienced the gynocentric courts of the west.
Ha, ha… I only learned what Onlyfans was last week when George Santos was booted from Congress. You crack me up… Nah, the world is not coming to an end. Divorce is a nightmare. When you fall in love again… A lot of that nightmare is forgotten.
What are the landlines, if god forbid, marriage goes sideways in the Phils?
I work for the state, doing child support enforcement.
When someone who has never been divorced, whose parents are still together, college-educated, and who earns at least 60,000 a year marries someone similar, the divorce rate is extremely low. Even lower if they have the same culture and religion . But most men don’t consider all this and just try to marry, the sexiest girl that would have them. Good for you for having standards.
In my opinion, a man should spend more on his prenuptial agreement than on the ring. A good prenup is one of the best investments a man can make.
In my area, the divorce rate is like 54% for 1st marriages. And I know way too many guys who stay married for the kids even though they are roommates!
For some reason your vlog showed up as a green screen? FYI. Thanks for the info! Just had a date in the America and think it was what they call ‘Tinder dining”. A woman says she is interested only to get some drinks/food. Pretty tired of it. Another buddy in NYC, who is 53yrs old and has some game, still is getting turned off by the social media affect on woman, making them think they have so many options only to settle later on for the regular guy for financial reasons, but she will not be happy/still looking.
Why is advice? Thanks.
Omg… I’m not getting married. All of the guys i know have gotten divorced once or twice already. I like being single, traveling and having money.
Good morning from PAPUA NEW GUINEA.
Good morning from PAPUA NEW GUINEA. I enjoyed watching your contents
I’m a veteran and I can tell you unequivocally that I would not put on the uniform to defend this country in the state it is today.
Harsh, but accurate… and, needed to be said.
If we peer down into the statistics; the story is even more tragic. Among college educated couples 90% of the divorces are filed by the woman. Also the overall % of 44.2 is rosier than the real contextual facts; the rate would be significantly (3-5%) higher but for tens of thousands of Men OPTING OUT OF MARRIAGE COMPLETELY while those so-doing being far more able, cautious and legally protective. To look at one demographic; 52% of eligible adult African-American males are Unmarried & Childless…40 years of the outrageous divorce grape and capricious child-support judgments have finally forced men to adjust accordingly.
I’ll never date until I get back out of the U.S. I’d legit rather stick a sharpened #2 pencil in my ear than date western women.
I disagree 99% of the time women who are on these sites the first type if they have boyfriends I bet he knows and is either chicken to say something or is a feminist
I dunno Henry. I don’t think it’s nightmare anymore in the US. With a nightmare, you wake up screaming, drenched in a cold sweat… you open your eyes and look around and catch your breath, and it goes away. THIS is more a zombie apocalypse. No matter how wide you open your eyes and how much you look… it doesn’t go away.
The ladies are beauty looks like sisters. Good Video.
Great advice.

There are people like my ex-wife and I that just decide they no longer want to be married to each other. In 2016 my wife of 38 years and I decided to split our assets. We filed for divorce, without an attorney, filled out the paperwork and filed it. We split the filing fee and 22 days later we were divorced. We had 1 child still at home so I paid child support until she graduated from high school. Sometimes it just doesn’t work anymore. I would encourage anyone that can to keep a reasonable attitude and just get it done. I do not intend to ever get married again but I have had a Filipina girlfriend for over a year. She knows where I stand on marriage and it works for us.
Very timely and sound advice…no matter where you are in the world.
True story here! I’m in Southern California and all that you say here is happening live everyday. You really don’t even need to see the websites. You can meet all the types in coffee shops, local night spots, boardwalks along the beaches. If you get divorced here you better find the most expensive lawyer who knows how to play ball here. If you want to keep your stuff and not lose it. Be careful guys do not get married to the wrong woman.
Keep on telling the truth!
The court needs to stay out of personal matters. Marriage is a fools game. Never do it men
A prenuptial, of cohabitation agreement is paramount, although still may be subject to unjust enrichment, and constructive trust claims; therefore, these agreements are no absolute guarantee, but the intent, and wording may carry considerable weight.
It is best to be aware, and govern the relationship accordingly.
IVE TOLD MY FRIENDS FOR DECADES .. YOU COULD NOT PAY ME , TO MARRY IN THE USA …… SALAMAT
Why do men go to the pi to look for their wife’s when they can go to Mexico and find a traditional woman, that values love over money . Less scams from Mexican women compared to Asians women .
24 years after my divorce I’m still single because I refuse to compromise. That first time around absolutely gutted me financially, emotionally, and spiritually. So much so that I fight my own self-destructive nature in relationships with women even today.. At 55 I don’t want to be done looking or blow a possibly good relationship but here in the USA I don’t even waste my time anymore.
Right on brother thank you
Those reasons are why I think the United States is the worst place for man and the best for a woman
Traveling: what about discretionary sharing of information with woman and locals, hotels and landlords, immigration and police, US embassy, etc. What do they only need to know.?
The problem with the Asian women is, the 5’s would win the beauty contest in the west!
Its horrible. Everything about dating in America is horrible
Life is good in the rigth person ❤
Nice video ❤
Traveling: What about discretionary sharing of information with woman locals, hotels and landlords, immigration and police, US embassy, etc. What not to share, there don’t need to know?
I am just a 66 year old guy looking to move to Valencia and meet a nice looking 40+ or 50+ woman with a good heart. I know it will take time…maybe years. Keep the content coming.
