Halfway through the first word, I realized she didn't mean "$h!...t". The jokes thing I ran into with my Filipina ex. All my foreign friends appreciate the jokes. She'd always say, "You're not funny." They don't get our humor. 😂😅

[@RC-lc6ph]

Not necessarily a bad thing if she dont get the jokes and you remain you. Why? Girls often need some kind of resistance put up e.g. if your a yes man to everything, there is no mystery, no challenge, maybe less for her to fix and they seem to always want a guy they can fix. Im just saying...

What I'm hearing is foreigners need to respect Filipino cultures but Filipinos doesn't need to respect foreigners cultures. Shouldn't both cultures be respected if trying to have a relationship together? If not it won't last. Couples need to make the effort to learn each other's cultures it should not be one sided

Everyone deserves respect. However, anyone outside of their home country should be making extra effort.

I'm sorry but Philippines deserves plenty of criticism (point #2) as it is far far far from perfect country. Heck I have no issues criticizing USA or hearing others criticize because it too is far from perfect. To ignore reality is to have one's head stuck in one's a$$. Frankly no way in heck would I want to live in Philippines it is just *way* too third world and corrupt. Okay place to visit though. For me Thailand is the place to be, it owns Philippines in every single way except for English language knowledge. Regarding point #10, while I agree that arguing over $1 seems like a waste of time, some times one has to take a stand against the daily corruption and swindling going on. I won't yell or argue or anything like that, I will just no thanks and keep walking and asking different trike drivers until I find an honest one that isn't trying to rip me off for an extra 50 pesos. Or just use Grab which regulates prices (I know shocking right?). Philippines could do a lot better job regulating things if they wanted (oops I just violated Reine cringe rule #2 guess I will never get a date with her LOL)

[@petesrules1508]

The Philepenes used to be a developed country and very modern and organised. That's why it cops a lot if criticism. Sadly the country slipped into a native regression which they are slowly growing out of with the help of Chinese money. People don't choose to visit the Philepenes, they visit the filipina. The Philepnes is not a destination of choice as a few travel agents told me.

[@kenhorton9599]

#10 So what would a Pinay do if they were charged 50 PHP more than the normal price? Of course I can afford it and will not have a meltdown over ($1). But are you recommending that we let drivers overcharge us? Should we let people take advantage of us? I just wanted clarification, there's a reason why I use Grab. IJS

#10. Don't get mad about a dollar. So when the trike tries to screw you for an extra 50 pisos, instead pay him 50 less, right. If I'm supposed to not care about my money then why should he? See how easy it is. Just shut up and get screwed over constantly. Otherwise you are weird.

[@Murph_.]

Hate to tell you this, Reine, but every Filipina I know likes corny jokes. And most of them weren't girls trying to date me and just laughing for the fun of it. My wife still laughs at my corny jokes, and we've been together almost 8 years now. I'm sure there are some Filipinas with no sense of humor, but most have a good sense of humor and like stupid jokes. The problem with a lot of corny jokes are not that Filipinas don't like them, it's that they don't understand them. As long as guys tell jokes that a Filipina will understand, it's a good thing.

[@thebigmann81]

I agree. Remember Reine is young so of course she would lack some experiences that we have had.

[@thebigmann81]

It really depends on how much English they know and if they understand the joke. My Filipina loves my jokes too as well as all my Filipino co-workers but I'm naturally funny.

[@michaelmerrill8467]

I agree with some of what you said. And yes, to answer your question, we forigners are super men, and we have saved the world many many times over with our money, our time, our ingenuity, our talent, our love, our sacrifice, and our blood. 🫡 🇺🇸 And that's minus all the stingy creeps and drunks.

[@DrDlane]

Hi Reine. Body odor is caused by one of the two sweat glands that we have. humans have apocrine sweat glands, which are a primary source of body odor. However, a gene called ABCC11, which is expressed in apocrine glands, is non-functional in 80-95% of East Asians, including most Filipinos. This variant of the gene prevents bacteria from consuming a chemical in the armpits that they use to create body odor, resulting in a faint acidic odor instead of a strong axillary odor. So Filipinos are not likely to smell bad like the rest of the population. So it's quite possibly not an issue of hygiene as much as genetics. But if a person can smell their own body odor, rest assured others can. Take another shower. Some people will do as Albert Einstein did and buy many of the same shirt, shorts, or jeans. It may appear they are wearing the same clothes but they have changed their clothes. Don't make assumptions. I prefer not to talk about myself unless I'm answering a question. Even then I keep it brief. Filipinas can be clingy but guys aren't allowed to do that? I see clingy filipina all the time. Again, CORNY is a subjective word. That means corny means something different to each person. You need to define what it means as does every other filipina. She doesn't want you to help the beggars because she wants that money for herself. Getting drunk? That sounds like talking about the 'S' word, SOBRIETY! We aren't having a meltdown over a dollar. We are having a meltdown over being cheated, being taken advantage of. If your filipina cares, she should make sure you don't get cheated. Filipina make a big deal about cheating. Why doesn't that attitude apply to her man getting cheated? Cheating is cheating. I have no interest in going too fast. It's not good to get cheated and taken advantage of.

Three guidelines (from what she said): 1) Be polite and don't overreact to anything - keep things in perspective. Emotional behaviour doesn't go down well. 2) Be conservative - leave some of your western stuff 'at the door', including physical aspects of a relationship. Keep private things private 3) Take things slowly and carefully - no rush. Everything has its time. (Sorry - didn't know where to put the stuff about deodorant... haha). Did I miss anything here?

[@vidong1704]

Don't complain about the whole country of the Philippines, cities or provinces. If you want to complain, complain about individual things for example, service by a hotel, food at a certain restaurant, service at a store, bad beach, bad resort, bad taxi company etc. This is OK. But not the entire country or city. Because people will be hurt. But nobody will get hurt if you say that the traffic is bad on EDSA or " I don't like Robinson, better go to SM". Or " I don't like that movie" Just avoid qualifying things with the name " Philippines". I was complaining about one resort not taking credit cards, but I was not saying Filipino resorts are bad. That is the difference! Next: shouting does not work, but whining does. Start " crying" that you are so pitiful that you did not get this or that and show yourself as you are suffering. This is better. Also, do you mean corny jokes or dirty jokes?

I'd never put my gf on the "payroll" so to speak, at least not early on. ( Well, not unless it were Daisy, cooking that Chicken Adobo every day...😋😋) Married with her staying home taking care of the house is a different story or perhaps living together in a very serious, monogamous relationship. An allowance for her spending money then is fine. I can be generous and surprise her, and I can be thrifty and save. If I need to pay her a monthly stipend to be my girlfriend I may as well hire a very sexy housekeeper and avoid the tampo altogether!
