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.

That means he was never his friend!!!
The problem with that love circle is that the guy in the Philippines screwed his own manhood by screwing another man. What he should have done is had her break off communication before they decided to get together. I understand your point but his friend shouldn’t mess with his friendship by betraying trust. I agree about the relationship not being a relationship but he betrayed a friendship between men!!!
Sound advice. I love the analogy with Salma Hyek!
I disagree on one thing. The buddy who went to the Phils and agreed to check out his Stateside buddy’s LDR should have told him after the first or second meeting that there was a chance of the girl and him hooking up. If the US buddy got pissed, that was the time to set out the rules and stick to them. By the time he talked to you, he’d sunk into quicksand of his own making and was in a no-win situation… unless his US buddy was understanding. At the point you got involved, yes, I think you’re right, but that ignores his stepping into the quicksand and letting himself sink, then cry to you for help.
Love the slide show! Hot ladies!
There’s no such thing as “long distance dating”. Does not exist.
True! There’s NO such thing as “LDR”!
hi @lifebeyondthesea. i like videos more of your face showing in the video
That Alabama song gets it right. She and I live in our little world. You could say she and he live in their own little world.
What dating site is most popular & yields the best results?
Where do you get these photos of beautiful and thin Filipinas?
It really stinks when a guy thinks he falls for a younger Filipina, only to find that at some point she says having a baby is a requirement to continue the relationship. If the vasectomy you had 20+ years ago prevents that, it is a heartbreaker. Not much a guy can do but keep on moving down the road.
In my experience, OFWs are a significant income provider for their family back in the Philippines. If a foreigner wants to marry one of those ladies, they have to be willing to provide the lost income when the OFW Filipina quits her overseas job. The family will expect every bit of the lost income from the foreigner and then some. They think all foreigners are rich anyway.
Absolutely Henry that guys do need to go to the Philippines (or another Asian country) if they want to secure a real and deeper relationship with the woman theyve been chatting to.
At the very least, 6 months after your online conversations with the woman you seem to be in love with, have chemistry, and are compatible. Then don’t stop there and continue the momentum if both of you are truly serious!
Why did you change to this slide show type format?
Anyone who gives money like this is very sad person
I did not know that you and Vi had gotten married so congrats yes even a 18 months later. Very best regards .
Yeah, it was a dumb move to ask his friend to check out his woman comma but stealing his girl is not something you would do to a best friend, just saying
Even though you are … mostly right, there is something really odd that happens when you find a hole in your experience, a divorce has probably happened and the dating pool in the United States (and possibly other 1st spaces) is not ‘ideal’….and imagination is 100% ideal, as in, expectations are almost always met in one’s imagination. When you WANT to believe that what you have is the real deal, it is very difficult to be convinced otherwise. When your friends see issues and problems and you’re wearing rose colored glasses….you cannot see reality, only the ‘ideal’.
Danger danger Will Robinson.
Been there. Been scammed. Deserved every bit of it.
But cheating girls (as in giving them the short end of a raw deal) in the Philippines really bothers me.
It seems that so many guys CANNOT see the stupid things they are doing that make having a real relationship difficult and blame everything on someone else….I guess that sounds very American lately.
Good points.
I believe that it’s also possible to talk to philipinas online as long they are both clear that it’s just friendship. And it can only change into something else after they see each other in person.
Give a guy a year max then move on.
Don’t waste a womans youth.
I agree with your advice that the Filipina didn’t have a obligation to the pen pal. The Filipina Pea gives similar advice to yours, about not doing LDRs and waiting till you have boots on the ground.
Just as a matter of interest I assume the beautiful women on your videos are not random?
Bang on regarding not getting online to meet them until you land for the reason you gave plus one may find no need to bother with that when you can strike up live conversations in the Philippines.
I whole heartedly agree with every word you say Reekay.
I could have used this video 2 months ago.
I plan on selling everything in the US and retiring in the Philippines in 2-4 year window. I have no interest in virtual LDR. Just arrive and travel and explore the Philippines. Once I find a place I want to live, then I can be open to a partner in that location.
If some guy is providing finances to a Filipina during a LDR, and theres no need for the filipina to provide physical intimacy, or other girlfriend duties like cooking/cleaning etc; sounds to me like a “win-win” for a filipina. What would be the attraction for her to ever have the guy physically join her?
You must have a pyschology/socialogy background, plus you have great communication skills!
