Why is it a problem for Filipinos to "open the light"among themselves?

[@bobbruce4135]

My comments are automatically blocked on Geo's channel for reasons I'm not aware of. I've always been very respectful in my posts. But, I do at times mention that Only-Chads (handsome young men) are loved as shown in the Sternberg's Triangle. Passion (hot burning desire) is needed for a real love relationship. Richard Cooper and many others very familiar with female nature emphasis this. This is why Chads don't need money and have no shortage of attractive young lovers.

Your statement humorously exaggerates the notion that society often values physical attractiveness highly, implying that only those who are perceived as physically attractive ("Chads") are capable of experiencing or receiving real love that includes intimacy, passion, and commitment. In reality, Sternberg's theory does not limit love to any specific type of individual based on their physical appearance. The claim that "Chads don’t need money and have no shortage of attractive young lovers" is a generalization about relationships and attraction that could be viewed as stereotyping. Such statements might be controversial or offensive to some, potentially leading to their comments' automatic or manual moderation. As defined by Sternberg, love can be experienced by anyone and is a multidimensional construct involving various combinations of intimacy, passion, and commitment, which can exist in different forms and intensities across different relationships.

@@AsianRomance Respectfully disagree in these modern times in the Western world. If you check out Wheat Waffles video titled "Sorry... Men Do NOT age like fine wine" you'll see the numbers. It's not 1970 or SEA. In fact, Wheat says older and Sub-5 younger men should go to SEA as it's a road out of poverty.

@@AsianRomance Not sure my reply went through. I would suggest you look at Wheat Waffles video titled "Sorry... Men Don't Age Like Fine Wine". I think you'll see that the dating situation in the West has today has put looks way up front (the Passion metric) of everything else. Only Gold diggers, sugar babies, and women in developing countries still put commitment and financial security above looks. This is why the men are going overseas. Even Wheat mentions to go to developing countries if your dating success (looks based) isn't going to well.

Your reply went through. Sometimes it takes me a few hours to manually approve the comment.

I will look for the video you mention. Thanks! -Nils

As a long time expat of 30+ years of living and working around Southeast Asia you should always seek to clarify time frames if there's any ambiguity. Also, while people like to think the Filipinos speak English with many it's at a low level and quite limited. Remember many have what's an equivalent of about a 4th grade education in the west and their education system doesn't promote critical thinking skills, just rote memory with often no understanding of the significance. Enjoy the T&A, expect to open your wallet, but don't expect any deep conversations or true love.

Have you married a local woman ????

[@AsianRomance]

Yes, local to USA.

[@gregwil694]

If you get off on sarcasm, keep it among your western friends and leave it at the door with locals. There's no point in "being careful" about it. Just cut it out. Otherwise at least periodically you will run into the same dead response. What's the point of that? hahaha

[@AsianRomance]

Good advise!

[@baldeagledelta3482]

I just dunno. For the sake of talking about a topic and hitting views and likes you guys would complain about anything. Best advise. Leave Ph if you don’t think you like it here. You won’t be missed. 😂😂😂😂
