What he is describing is being rich. he isn’t rich in America, but he is rich in the Philippines (by their standards). These women are interested in money. Because he’s a Westerner, they think he has it. They’re probably also looking for western guys to Simp for them, and this guy it’s a mega Simp on steroids.

Guys, the devils advocate here, what you never see by KZbinrs are vlogs about the toxic Filipino family relationships. Been married to my Filipina for going on 20 years and retired here in the Philippines years ago. Forget the beautiful country, the friendly people, this is a swept under the rug issue. The family infighting, the back stabbing, the jealousy, the greediness, holy cow its a constant tornado of shit slinging. So be warned, find a beautiful Filipina orphan, without kids, to maintain your sanity and build from there. Having seen it and talked to many, many expats about this. When dating you’ll never see this but look and listen closely to see if it’s there, run if it is. There’s a whole unpleasant underbelly KZbin vloggers don’t want to show you.

Heck, men and women in the US don't even like each other anymore (again probably to do with stress driven issues). Hard work doesn't kill you, being overweight doesn't kill you, stress kills you.

I agree just have your head on straight.Don't flaunt your money send money unseen,sit in bars, think you can live in the province.Be like this guy positive,organized a healthy life style an a bonus you can sing.Goodluck 🇨🇦

[@JameyBarnett]

This was extremely informative. He asks all the right questions we want to know. Sounds dreamy

[@kmilton1593]

You did a good interview there, Chad. And cheers to that happy guy.

[@donhowardii1626]

Great interview. Couldn’t have described it any better with his comparison of America vs Philippines. I agree 100%.

[@josephbanys8396]

Everyone has an opinion I'm glad hes Happy like me.

[@williamhenderson8371]

Great video! I’m 58, from the panhandle in FL, and have been researching a move to the Philippines too. I have a similar mentality and financial situation to him so this has been a HUGE help.

[@henkdejong9051]

This guy is dizzy with snatch. The chickens have not come home to roost yet.

[@rvajna]

😂

😂😂😂😂

[@DionCLACK]

Another Hater on KZbin

[@fitzroygeorge9157]

good for him, let him enjoy

[@Aortadetroit]

How terrible. Dizzy with snatch. Just an awful scenario. Poor guy is clearly suffering.😂😂

[@tonytour4377]

It is amazing, he is still in honeymoon faze after one year. It looks like he has a lot of life force and he is depleting it fast.

[@eddief6118]

Great interview!! I really enjoyed listening to his views on his adventures!! Now I’m looking at moving to Cebu City!!

[@jcgolf159]

Great attitude. How much of that is simply a guy realising and enjoying his freedom, as in being retired and enjoying the economics of a developing country, plus what some would call the honeymoon phase of being in a new country-a new lifestyle Not saying any of those are bad thangs. He is one happy man! Life in the Philippines is what you make it 🏝🌞😎✌🏻

[@BrittMcalister]

@jcgolf159 It's amazing life here. I would highly recommend it to anyone on the fence.

[@SusanYINGLING-ho4dp]

If you want to retire there it's fine but high poverty,crime,and there's plenty of young women for men retiring so have fun ,I have four kids,ten grandkids I'd like to be part of there life and help them succeed

[@driftwoodsmittyasia1286]

Yes I'm in agreement....I'm here in last 15 months I'm a changed man....I'm a carnivore man in 8 months feel wonderful....having fun...Best Regards all.Smitty, old sarge Metro Cebu..

[@BrittMcalister]

Love it and live it!!!

[@MikeDPlxztc]

Aha! the comment I've been looking for 😂is it difficult to do carnivore there I thought that there was not a lot of availability for meat. beef especially

[@ronsnewlife]

The guy you interviewed is right on. I was over there in January to February and it’s a weird feeling when you don’t have any stress. I was with my girlfriend that I met in the US. We went to see her family even in the malls. I was being checked out 59 years old and girls will just come up to me and look at me the whole time…. but the stress-free thing is the best feeling you can ever have. I’ll be moving over there soon in the next year or so.

[@BrittMcalister]

Got to love it here.

[@majorfeelgoodrecords2740]

Wow, that’s an attractive money bag

[@francesmcdonald8145]

Chad remember Pilipino people are born happy go lucky

[@andresmith9212]

Wow! We finally found the one foreign guy in all of the Philippines that the local women actually adore just for being him rather than whats in his wallet.

[@SaoLaoatusa]

That is not true. No money no honey

[@segarnyagold1014]

:)

[@stacksats1]

It's crazy how those guys really believe the girls are into them.. absolutely fucking crazy insane.

[@Eric-qm5xw]

Anyone would be foolish to think there’s not a bonus to dating a western guy. If a women knows her worth ..why not, it’s just to what level..they can love your too. My Filipina was a corporate banker in Manila earning $1500/2000 monthly and she’s was honest ..she did not date poor Filipino or poor guys ..it’s understandable.

[@alanaldpal950]

Well…… there’s nothing wrong with being fat, dumb and happy 🙃

[@rambojojo]

Noise!,I can hear the waves lapping on that beach and someone asking if you want fresh scallops. 😅😅😅😅😅

[@terencesingerline135]

Great interview! Thank you for the honesty and your insights..Enjoy your new life in the Philippines

[@Billy_B_Goat]

Thanks for the positive vibes Chad.... Happy New Year Brother. Peace and Love, B Goat

[@jadereyes1815]

Nice positive attitude. Doesn't bother small things to make it big. Definitely he's looking for the bigger picture. God bless you and your family always Sir...

[@philipmasie]

I’m glad to hear it’s even better 😊 I was expecting to hear how much he regretted moving to the PH and missed the “independent” American women 😂

[@richtensail]

yeah hahahahahahahah

[@melindat.llantino6953]

This guy is really nice. I’m happy that he has so many nice things to say about the Philippines 🇵🇭🎉

[@ArciT-v4z]

If you want to have healthy mental/emotional/physical health, stay in the Philippines. There’s barely any complaints and altercations among the crowd/people waiting in line- most people especially in the province/country side are calm and not boastful. Food is less processed, except the several fast foods in the Philippines or the ones in the malls. So happy for this man to live a wonderful life that he enjoys.

[@MikeDPlxztc]

Can you maintain a carnivore diet there what is the availability of beef?

[@ArciT-v4z]

@@MikeDPlxztc yes, beef, pork, are available, in fact my brother who lives at the country side, he own and sell cows and pigs as he’s sideline income, besides being a government employee.

[@MikeDPlxztc]

@ArciT-v4z thanks I don't know why I thought that beef was not widely available or that it was prohibitively expensive I thought I had seen that in another video or comment section

[@AShorewalker]

An excellent interview. I have wanted to understand more about P. Thank you. Time for a trip!

[@AnthonyMartinez-n7v]

I go to the Philippines 2 times a year for 3 or 4 weeks at a time. I love it there, and I am 53, but money is a factor

[@jayneh2006]

That sand in that beach is so pure white and seems clean bro!

[@thomasmuller9243]

Because the traktor cleaned it with the device pulling through the sand. Most likely this is a hotel beach.

[@richtensail]

yeah nice n celan thanks 2 v tractor in vbackground pickn up all v rubbish

[@Emily_Paris]

Happy for this guy. He looks and sounds content with his move to Philippines. Follow your dream, plan your future. Tomorrow isn’t promised. Don’t wait til you retire.

[@waykiwayki]

Nice...an oider man can teach and bring along a young girl. Over 35s in the west are pure headaches.

[@richtensail]

yeah n under 35s 2!

[@leandrocedrick5338]

He already fell in love with Philippines even before he lived here. That's why he looks very happy now. It's like he doesn't care about any negative things about the country, he is happy and he is optimistic.

[@BrittMcalister]

Thank you.

[@enihpesoj]

He is the ultimate sales talker. He talks the positive side, he is in a different place, good he found the good place for him

[@donpapas7387]

Marco Polo isn’t exactly slumming it 😂

[@tigertoker]

About the noise pollution, it is a problem but if you move to a nice neighborhood it lessens. That’s one way to deal with it.

[@tarlkoroban3733]

This dude can't be for real. There are grotesque levels of poverty in Cebu. I saw some shocking scenes there and will never go back because of it.

[@rocketrob333]

i doubt he gets anywhere near the poverty, living at Marco Polo

[@columbus7275]

Agreed. Good guy overall, but he’s drinking some kool-aid.

[@agnescurrie697]

Its his attitude that he can easily adjust, he goes with the flow. Good thing he didn't meet yet a scammer.

[@Matakui2011]

Men, who cares if the women wants to be with you because you have money? As long both parties get what they want, 🤷‍♂️

[@ninjakris3004]

Right?! They don’t get upset that men just want young and juicy!!

[@stephenmatti885]

this is such a good interview to hear. having lived here all my life , I forget the reasons why I couldn't go elsewhere.

[@mbskiing]

Seriously?!!! Living in the province was terrible. Noise pollution at its worst. No edible food. Lived on peanut butter and honey. Moving to Cebu, where this guy lives… finally had food and healthcare. But the traffic was terrible, we couldn’t go for food and healthcare when we wanted. Bohol, where the guy is being interviewed, it’s more like paradise compared to the rest of Philippines. Still dealing with terrible traffic and noise pollution. Visit here before you commit! You might not be as happy as this guy. The attention of young girls makes a man smile and forget about some of the problems here. 😁

[@shephoe82]

That’s the Filipino spirit ! Your positivity amazes me. It’s all about the attitude! No matter where you are there will be always pros and cons.

[@billyjohnson9166]

Stop pushing Christian Filipina it’s not any better than any other dating site. If it was so good why are you still single? It’s way overpriced

[@SirMountainpass]

I prefer a comfortable, drama-free (!) single life, regularly travelling the world: SE Asia, New Zealand, Europe, Canada - depending on the local seasons

[@matrices3987]

They get a commission.

[@ST-TV]

The cheapest offer they did to me was 3 months for 300 buck and the "best value" deal was 11 months for 800 bucks. I just told them: "No thank, you are at least 3 times more expensive than you should be."

[@ST-TV]

@NigelHyphenJones Is it part of Catholicism that men are required to pay to talk to women?

[@matrices3987]

@NigelHyphenJones That makes sense. I guess the scammer girls read the policy and purpose of Christian Filipina and respectfully avoid this website because you know they follow the rules and are interested in fair dealing as a scammer girl.

[@joshuawinterson1851]

He makes a great point about the patience of Filipinos, and how they rarely complain about waiting, especially in queues, which is in stark contrast to the States. It's noticing things like that, that make this guy a winner at the expat game.

[@BrittMcalister]

Thank you.

[@robertmeade1892]

I stayed 14 months in the Philippines and after my yearly visit to the States will return in January. Many more positives for me than negatives. I agree with a lot of what he said. I will say that I did have a young lady ask me to help her with her tuition (after only 3 weeks there). Early on I met several with questionable motives. I did find a lot of the food bland and oily. Indonesia and Thailand have much better food. I did find several woman hinting or asking for money. That said, I do enjoy the affordable laid back lifestyle. I did find a good woman and I do prefer the over all quality of the woman over western ladies. It is because of her I am returning to the Phil's and not Indonesia or Thailand for now and let's see ...I am happy he is have such an ideal experience and attitude and perception has a lot to do with how we experience life. I see mostly positives in the Phil's and that along with the amazing lady I am dating is why I am going back to live. BTW, money is a big factor or "stability" when seeking a lady. Just like anywhere, money doesn't matter when dating accept when you don't have it 😂 when it comes to love. I am blessed to have sufficient.

[@reggieeverett90]

He sounds very happy. Good to see a man finding his lane.

[@TerryMoore-k8y]

Here on vacation a yesr sgo tomorrow met the most amazing woman Sold everything and moved to Palawan i could write a book on all the challanges but happy i stayed immigration issues are my biggest expence
