Gosh y'all I just fucken love you you guys😁💙💚I'm a Cambodian man and my wife is white and half Japanese with a little bit of high 57 lol. We've been together almost 30 years and loving it

[@mikemrcamera1989]

Thx for video…and yes…I was asking a lot…same like you regarding the friends and parents from my Khmer girlfriend…she was only telling…don t care I am loving you and they be happy with me because they love me too…its finally what your wife is telling too. Its such a gift to meet such people in life…thx God!

[@guitrich]

I know what Mey means. She saw you (Pat) as you, not as a white guy or barang, after she got to know the real you. I know what Pat means too, that people usually stereotype Khmer women who dates and marries a barang as gold diggers. Some of that might be true. But don't worry how others see you or think of you. You guys look so happy.

Cambodia passed a law some years back barring any foreigner over 50 from obtaining a marriage license in Cambodia. The ban was lifted in 2018, but you must show you have an income of at least $2,500/month. I complained to my friends about the old men / young women situation (honestly, I only saw 1 or 2 couples in the TTP area like that.) My friend pulled out her phone and started showing me pictures of her 60 year old aunt. (I was 63.) Likes to travel. Speaks French. Another friend wanted me to meet his sister-in-law who was 53. I wasn't looking to date in Cambodia, but it was nice to be asked. :)

You know Patrick , you can drive Cambodian roads that’s considered you are the best driver in the world. To me I only can drive the United state especially San Francisco California . I can’t drive together with motorcycles everywhere no respect the laws bigger is winners.

[@siamean1]

Same stigma here but im a Khmer American. People keep telling my wife she is so lucky like i am a winning lottery ticket. Turns out, im a fat loser in the states and my wife has more money than me.😂😂

[@CamboVlogs]

lol

[@KayCALBC]

I love Mey response. She’s on point about personality and it’s not about your ethnicity. PERIOD! 😂Mey don’t care for the money but you better be decent and a perfect street smart for her. She needs her own channel 🫶🏽 Let her do a video how to educate this new generation of Khmer girls for Chbab Srey 😂 seriously some of my younger cousins don’t even have the adequate. Speaking of Khmer slangs and talking ghetto sheesh lol I support biracial couples all day. I’m Khmer myself I can’t even stand dating my own kind never will I. I feel like I’ll be dating my own sisters. So I prefer Latina’s. We all have our special preference. Even coming out to my parents about me being a lesbian. They’re also accepting! They don’t care about what others think and who I date. A lot of Khmer parents nowadays are very accepting and open minded. I love when she said she loves to be her own F***ing Boss that’s right! F her questioning you! lol anyways you guys are amazing screw everyone else and their thoughts who F***ing cares.

[@johntaliburton7743]

Every Barang I’ve met in Cambodia who truly loves a Khmer woman either has some doubts or is 100% sure that his partner is with him solely for love and not for money. It’s more complex than this. You are looking at it through a male lens. Women rarely love a man the way a man loves a woman. Only women, children, and dogs are loved unconditionally. Women don’t have to be financial providers to be loved. Men do. She wouldn’t have married you much less even gotten a date with her if you if you were a Tuk tuk driver. Not because she doesn’t love you, but because she is not stupid. She does not love you the way you love her. And that’s ok. It doesn’t make her a gold digger. She’s just a normal woman. She is not a man. When you mention money she says “what money?” As if the $4k in monthly expenses you both pay is nothing at all. You think she’d be married to you if you were a tuk tuk driver on $300 month? That’s ten times less than nothing. Sayonara Barang, she’d find her a real man who can provide. I don’t blame her. Nature has put burdens on her that have not been put on man. Society has put burdens on her to care for family members that is not put on males.

[@meyvann3910]

You’re right, I love my husband for who he is , for what he can do for me , he is a good husband, why would I marry tuk tuk guy. By the way, some tuk tuk guys make more than 300$/ months and have their own properties and most of them are married 😊

[@johntaliburton7743]

@@meyvann3910 We know you wouldn’t marry a tuk tuk guy. No Khmer girl married to a Barang would ever consider marrying a tuk tuk guy. They are a class below them. That is why you married a Barang. Tuk tuk driver can’t afford a girl like you. Their monthly salary would barely pay for your two Nannie’s for your child. You’re not a Kim Kardashian gold digger. But you are not stupid! And you would have factored this into the equation when you first started dating him. And it is why you “Love him for who he is, for what he can do for you.” Tuk tuk drivers can’t do for you what he does. A Khmer man who has a degree as an accountant on $600 month salary can’t do for you what your husband does. There’s lots of fish in the sea. Choosing a man based on “what he can do for me” does not make you a bad person.

[@sobesao6477]

Hwey bro, my first reaction to seeing you and mei, was WOW this bloke is one of the luckiest guy ever. Mei is beautiful, modern with traditional valuies, takes no bullshit has her own grounds. But tbh alot of cambodian women who marries for a VISA are generally taken for granted. I know so many including friends who married girls from the motherland and absolutely take it for granted, they expected a feable women who lets them go out whenevers drugs n alcohol etc and wants to come home to ba clean house with dinner ready etc. Always end in disaster, something wrong with the male human ego when it comes to marriage or any intimate relationship of obsessive ownership or dominance. Ladies/girls dont fall for older men / middle aged thinking they'd take care of you, they are the shitstains of the western world for a reason, just because the difference in the economical currency makes them feel like they are top shit, back here they're nothing but hobos n street bums. Live to bring 1 smile to 1 person a day is enough to make the world a happier and better place, because the universe is awesome and it keeps getting bigger and better, so we should too keep dreaming bigger and better as people. My mum is in kamp[ong Chnnang atm apparently her family is like the village elder or whatever that means, her grandpa or something was supposing be this very respected guy who made sure everyone had a home and land. I doint know much about our history but you've picked up the language its Pali/Tamil, learn the common phrases, regions etc and decypher it together wiuth pali and tamil. It will blow your mind. Theraveda Buddhism understand the Holy trinity and cosmic dance. Don't let other's negative views, thoughts or energy enter your realm, by acknowledging it, brings irt into existness, igmorance is not just bliss but your realm will be more beautiful without thinking of other's thoughts into your realm. We have a saying, Ghom khit dhot jeng, and ghom khit rieng ker. Don't think that way and don't think about their journey/story. Weare all in this together and remind yourself the universe/creation created and ended simultaneously, meaning we are but energy living a memory of our journey to happiness. U ME WE and the double U. start from the north to the south then from east to the west you will find me. E=3 W3 (the double you) M3

[@naroeun007]

Hey fam another great video. Have you guys already talked about how you guys met? Also what are your thoughts about a khmer westerner dating/marrying a local khmer women? Thx 🙏🏾

[@bokatorus771]

If the man and woman are about the same age. People think it is true love, but when the age gap is a lot, what you're saying is true. Cambodia passed a law prohibits old foreign men over 50 from marrying young Cambodian girls and exploit the young, innocent Cambodian girls. The government just want to make sure the marriage is honest marriage, not to exploit innocent, young Cambodians. Some countries use marriage as way to traffic women. It is good that there is some ban - just making sure it is honest love and marriage.

[@Tom-Yum-Gai]

the knowing English thing, interesting twist, among barang guys if a Khmer girl speaks decent English it's often assumed she learned it working in hostess bars. SECOND FAVORITE!!??? wtf, Beer Lao beats em all, the dark it delicious. I'd take it over most western beers. Wife seemed mystified at your questions....perhaps what you are SO SURE people think is not what people think? Or not what decently brought up or educated people think. It was funny watching you try different ways to get her to say "oh yeah, they all think I marry you for money, Mom and Dad threaten to disown me, etc."

She clearly has a accent, but that's not a bad thing. My wife speaks English well, and I love her accent that she has retained. I wouldn't imagine it any other way. Its her identity as much as her face is. Patrick, do you like your wife's accent? Would you want her to lose it?

Not sure if you've lived in the US in the past 20 years when the culture took a very dark turn? But, honestly, I would much much much rather like in Asia and have everyone assume a woman is with me for money - which is a fairly neutral thing - than face what today's America thinks. They act real polite to your face in America, most of the time, but the disgusting face of reality is easy to find behind the façade by going to Reddit. They think "sexual predatory" "p**ophile" etc. I've been told a 40 year old man with a 29 year old is "p**o vibes" and so on. They are massive busybodies in America and everyone there think he/she has the right to dictate every detail of how other people live. It is not 1980s America, it is a very dark place now. Most of my coworkers and bosses are very current with the culture but I realize due to age there are a few things they don't know. My boss is liberal by an year 2000 standards but he loves to tell the story of courting his wife and how many times she rejected him before now, they've been very happily married 15 or 20 years? But the truth is, most people in America are thinking "oh you're a sexual predatory. If she said no even once that is too many times."
