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.

Absolutely love the beautiful photos with your sage advice?
I hear it’s getting harder for ex-pats in the Philippines because so many foreign men havearrived over the past few years. Foreigners are not as rare anymore and the novelty is waring off. I’ve heard men say they went to the Philippines thinking it was going to be non-stop dating and opportunities, but they were disappointed and didn’t get much interest. Mainly in Cebu, BGC, Makati and Dumaguete is where I’m hearing this.
What about polygamy? Read the bible.
Here is something I would like to share after listening to your perfectly analysed various scenarios. In Pathaya, Thailand you can actually hire a wife starting from 400 dollars. The price varies depending on the age, health and beauty etc. and can go up to 1000 to 1200 dollars a month. If old, handicapped or terminally sick, she will be yours with all privileges, for 24/7 for as long you want. My love marriage of over 30 years ended up in betrayal so hell with another at my age. I stopped believing in love. I enjoy Lovely young girls and they give me tremendous joy of 3 hours at a given time. I sleep good, eat good and live good. I am happy and always in good mood.
I’d love to hear more on that stage 3 at a divorced dad who isn’t looking to have anymore kids. I know you have spoken on this a little but would love to know more. I’m looking for younger, doesn’t have kids or want them. What are the chances of that?
A lifetime relationship without marriage is my goal.
Many men never recover from the brutal treatment they receive in the west. I don’t blame them for never wanting another relationship.
Part of me thinks I’ll never be completely done “running amok.” But I do it in a way that seems more emotionally fulfilling than the mongers or the guys doing one-night-stands. I basically do open relationships and “friends with benefits” where I actually care about the women and we have a sweet connection. It’s not always the easiest thing, because many of the women get jealous—but for me, it seems better than any other solution for this time in my life—and I’m gradually getting better at making it work well for all involved.
Hahahahahaha bro does that actually work??? Lol. You wanna go to my place to see my furniture??? WOW! Can i ask you about something? You know ive been married for 8 years and we’ve been many places exploring the Ph. My goal was to just chill, not buy a house or lot. Just keep going different different places and rent a condo or air bnb and just explore the rest of my life but lately my wife has really been adamant about buying house and lot. Im really not wanting to be tied down to 1 place. Im 62 years old and ive done the house thing. Id rather just be free to go wherever we want and stay as long as we want. Whats your thoughts on this?
BAD BOY FOR LIFE – It’s me. I can’t help it.
38 years old here, been in stage 1 for 3 weeks, but the holiday is ending soon. Haven’t had to pay for it yet.
I’m planning on going to Thailand, the Philippines, and Cambodia for about 2 1/2 to 3 months at the end of this year and the first part of next year. I’m just going to run amuck. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be great. I have great flirting skills. I’m not going to pay to play. I don’t drink. I like to make friends with women. I know myself, and I know it takes me a long time to develop trust, and be able to build a relationship. It’s not happening in 3, 6, 8, or even 12 months. I just want to go get the lay of the land. I want to see if I even want to live in the Philippines. I’ve been living in Mexico, and may retire there.
I want to go fishing there
Hey I just started watching this video, and have enjoyed many of your guides, thanks. my only negative feedback is that wow, the ai images of women is really getting annoying. cant you put up some real women? Not every Filipina is a 10 but watching your shows would make people believe that was the case. I’d rather see a realistic portrait of what to expect, not the fairytale version. thanks.
…I am wondering if anyone is that naïve to believe that a 60 yo will be assaulted to the point of saturation by young woman the quality you see in this video 🙂 . 99 out of 100 do not look like this!
I’m making plans to get out there for a month, but its not to meet a woman. I’m just looking forward to immersing myself in a new culture, seeing new things and just detoxing. I’d likely be Stage 2 without the relationship aspect…casually socialize with truly friendly and kind people and value alone time. I’ve found this approach successful in most places I’ve been
Bleak outlook? From the beginning of the universe until the last black hole has evaporated and time stops, the chemical possibility of life will have only been possible for 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of that time (yes, 54 zeros). You are either the luckiest or the most insignificant part of that journey. The choice is yours.
Reekay, I agree with you. The guys stuck in stage 1 are short-changing themselves. This is why I have no interest in poly relationships. Regardless of all the denials, it IS about sex. After all, you can have friends plus one partner instead of a poly situation. And diluting time between multiple lovers, commoditizes each relationship. A person can toss them like old socks, there is no deep commitment like there could be for a single relationship. Being vulnerable is an important part of a quality relationship, because it justifies the effort to work through issues. Thank you for the excellent video.
Stage 2
When I discovered your channel it was a film of you sitting somewhere chatting. Now it’s pictures of women over your voice.
While I like looking at pretty women, I prefer the other format. Maybe you could combine these.
Do your other viewers prefer this?
I can understand being led about by the wrong head. It would become ssoooo boring, lonely and empty. Having a good woman walking beside you for years is so much more satisfying … well for me.But hey to each their own. If guys want to become 304s, thats their problem.
I think it goes both ways.
A guy can also be exclusively involved by putting all his eggs in one basket with a Filipina who is deceptive.
Filipinas are known to lure you in and bait-&-switch once the honeymoon period is over.
A guy could be miserably stuck by the time he realizes it. He could lose most of his saving and also end up worse off than started.
At retirement age, if a guy can survive without exclusivity to avoid such a risk, that’s the safest bet.
You want to see my furniture?
BRILLIANT!
I’m not a run amuck type of guy. I’ll go straight to stage 2.
1st
Thank you for your Phillippines wisdom/experiences. V is a stunning lady. You are a lucky man. Godspeed to you both.
Reekay would you help me or give me advice on building a channel for my PH trips?
I lived in Pattaya for a year and even with 3 girls a day I ended up feeling lonely. It gets old cuddling with someone that’s truly a sweetheart knowing the clock is ticking. It’s a shallow lifestyle that doesn’t impress me. What’s impressive is when I read comments about meeting a Filipina 30+ years ago and still falling asleep holding hands every night. That’s sexy!
With how bad it is here in the west, I can’t even fathom being in your ‘stage 2’.
Stage 1 guys (pinoy & expat) I always c at the watering holes (in the wall) along the beach day after day. Seem like lonely existence imo. If u want quantity what’s the plan if girl becomes pregnant ? Most good Filipinas want to give all they’re love to 1 man & receive yur love/security in return.
Seems to me that anyone in phase 1 was or is hedonistic. If you were there and left you were hedonistic.
There is also moment when we have enough stare 3 and return to 2 again. It soundtrack strange but it’s hard to return to 1 even if “current 3” don’t suite us
I’m at that point in my life now in the USA. I enjoy quiet time alone with no drama and 100% freedom.
Those dudes sleeping around are losers. Who wants to hear that?
Wise advice.
