I met my wife on the Internet, flew to Cagayan de Oro two months later, and applied for our wedding license during that wonderful visit. I flew back to Cagayan de Oro about six weeks later and we got married. It took nine months for her visa to be awarded (a very tough time period for us). I was able to visit her once in the interim. We married in May 2005. Fifteen years later, we have a beautiful, smart daughter and a happy family life together. It's been a life blessing.

She can be of a lot of help to your subscribers giving her input on why Filipinas think, act or do what they do. Able to explain the culture etc. To the bashers out there putting their noses in business you have absolutely no reason to be in? Live and let live.

From listening to your life experiences previously and the depths to which you sunk before giving the Philippines a shot I must say how happy I am for you that you have found Jen and conversely how she has found you. Most of the negative comments you will receive about age difference and "red flags" I would dismiss as you are no fool and have the insight to know that if something feels right then it most likely is. I have been the victim of two Filipina scammers and from what I can see and hear from you and Jen there is no hint of anything other than a experienced man who is switched on and a conservative respectful girl who is happy to be with you long term. Good luck to you both.

Hi, just listened to a few of your interviews, very good questions and conversations, you are good at it. I'm presently not in the Philippines but living in the US with my Filipina wife for 8 years now. I have a sweet place here if I didn't I would probably be in Palawan, I last was in the Ph in February 2020. From the very beginning like most here I made it absolutely clear to my wife that I did not want a child and she understood that. I thought I was too old and it wouldn't be fair to the kid to have an old dad especially in the US, also it has been said with older guys the percentages of having a not normal child is much higher. I love my Filipina wife and she seems happy with me and the situation we have, she never complains. As time goes on my love for her s deepened. I was 58 and she 36 when we met. I do have one regret and that is I did not give her a baby. Most if not ALL Filipinas want to be a mother and have a child. If a western man truly love a Filipina he will give her what she really desires and that is a child, it is paramount. When I'm gone my wife will be well taken care of if the economies don't totally crash she has a home here and comfortable and enough to buy one in the Philippines if she wants but I didn't give her a child and I know she is disappointed about that fact even though she doesn't say so and it hurts me to know it....I do my best to please her and we take care of each other but if I had it over again even though I don't want another child I would not deprive her of being a mother. Filipinas may say it's ok if we don't have a child (mine did) but in truth it's not...I know they want to be a mother I wish I would have been more considerate 9 years ago. Wishing you all the best with your relationship, I love the Philippines....Unceasing Blessings!

My point here was if you truly love your Filipina make her a mother. I've thought about adoption if I do move to Ph but it wouldn't be the same. As I said she doesn't complain or even comment on not having a child, most Filipinas wouldn't but it would be that much more sweeter if she did...for me she is all I desire.

As long as both understand what they're in the game for, I agree with you. But I don't want him to come back in five years saying, "She took me for a ride." ;-) Some people have said if a 60 year old marries a 20 year old, and take her to the US, the UK or any Western nation, it won't be long before she "grows up" in the new culture, and it's bye, bye. I have seen the same with many other ethnic groups. I know guys from the Vietnam era brought over girls they met in a bar. There's something about that bar life, I guess whether it's Thailand, Vietnam, or Korea, and that is maybe you can take the girl out of the bar, but can't take the bar out of the girl. But it seems these little provincial Filipinas are cut from a different cloth. They seem to be more religious and kind-hearted in general. But there are stories about online Filipina scammers. Maybe there is a boyfriend helping them with the scamming business.

I'm Filipino and grew up in the Philippines at the bigger urban area of the country i.e. Baguio City. Watching your interview with Jen, I sense the conservativeness of women from the provinces compared to a woman who lives in the City like Manila. The conservativeness of Filipina women could be due to the Maria Clara Spanish influence to our culture kind of thing.

Immediately after we married that changed quickly and radically. I could not recognize her as the person I had know. Tons of meanness, rudeness, insults, put downs, ingratitude, and bipolar anger popped up.

Ian Hopper: Trust me, not even close. In the West, frankness is valued to a certain extent, and we are quite frank when speaking with others. We are accustomed to expressing our true opinions, and feelings with those we know at least fairy well. It is completely different in the Philippines. There, frankness is not valued at all, and in all conversation outside of the immediate family, even with best friends, frankness is very seldom express. Instead, people say what sounds good, as opposed to the true. In other words, people very seldom speak the truth, outside of the immediate family. Instead, they lie. You can trust nothing that is said to you. Filipinos do not expect the truth, because they themselves do not use it. Americans do expect the truth. If you know a Filipina for five years, you will still be hearing what sounds good from her as opposed to the truth. Once you are married, you become immediate family, and you will start to hear what they really think, and feel, and you won’t like it one bit. Where as before, she told you what a swell guy you are, how generous, how thoughtful, how kind, good looking, etc., now you will find that none of this was true at all. You will find that you are ugly, selfish, have a bad attitude, dress in a sloppy manner, walk wrong, sit wrong, you’re stupid, etc., and those are just the good things they have to say about you.

I watched a video about the 100 most beautiful Philippinas and still found 2/3 of them not so special. When in Ukraine however, I often could not decide which girl to run after. On the other side, Philippines girls seem to be very nice and sincere which Ukrainian girls for sure aren’t. If I was in Philippines, I wouldn’t know how I would deal with the situation of liking the girls as a person without being physically attracted to them. Would my taste adapt to what is available so that I would end up being happily together with a Philippina or would I end up being frustrated and alone?…

Hello Mark. I saw your interview on the Old Dog Channel and came over to see some of your videos. I've read thru the comments and I read some of the same typical (jealous) entries as I see on other vloggers sites. Your relationship is nobody's business but your own. I applaud you for introducing her despite the feedback you might have expected to receive. Jen is a lovely young woman and I think you and she both chose wisely. I have a little experience with filipinas and I do think if you respect and treat her like the lady she is.... she will love and take of you forever. It's definitely a two way street in this relationship.You provide what she wants and needs and she returns that with love and affection. That is a WIN WIN. I say good job and good luck. I will keep up with your channel. Thanks for showing us a little of your life in the Philippines.

If you decide to spend the rest of your life in Ph, make a family..Plan it with Jens parents to show sincerity. Marry her and have children. .Cost of living for family of 5 (3children) will be manageable with your skill and abilities. The values it will add to your life will be immeasurable. Filipinos take good care of parents and grannies at their homes. Your children will be secured by their relatives as well while Jen feels accomplished as a mother and a wife. Its no wonder why Pinoy smiles at adversities and challenges... because family and friends are there to laugh and cry. Welcome to Pinoy Life is Good.🙏😷🙏

Big age difference may want to slow down a little 4 months already engaged to fast, no doubt she likes foreigners they provide the best opportunity to rise above the extreme poverty many Pilipino families struggle with. Nothing wrong with wanting a better life who doesn’t, perfectly reasonable for her to try and achieve, as long there is trust and absolute total honesty between both of you then you’re on the right path. I’m American and met my Filipina wife in similar fashion this was done before internet all by correspondence, would take about 3 weeks to receive reply, this is where trust and honesty come in, life is a gamble but can only win if you play. I brought her to the U.S and been happily married for 23 years now, good luck just take it slow.

I've been to the Philippines many times over the last 8 years. Its a great place for a vacation. I will admit I have met many women there in the past. But in reality I always preferred to be on my own long term. Your a 65 year old male with a poor financial track record. You have hooked up with a woman 40 years younger than yourself and are calling her your fiance. She has had no past experience of the opposite sex. As exciting as it may seem the reality is with lack of birth control used in the Philippines children can be a consequence. My point is does a 65 year old man need more financial burdens.
