[@reflections_with_Shay]

I absolutely loved our 7-hour marathon of fun and conversation, girls! It was so natural and informative. Thank you so much for hosting us, Maya. It was a blast!

[@MayaLifeInThePhilippines]

soon again 😙

[@sonnygmony]

In America, we have a saying: "Use your words." It is okay to say, "I'm upset but I don't have good words right now. Let me think." This is particularly true when communicating in second language. What is not okay is the refusal to communicate at all.

[@Brian-Future]

Always be yourself..and if she's really feelin' you.. you'll know. Mutual vibes speak volumes.

[@TheOriginalRick]

When I met the young Filipina in 1973 who was to eventually become Mrs. Rick, we were both overseas in a country foreign to us. There were no other Filipinos around to provide company and fellowship. Her family was 8,000 miles away, and there was no way I could get to know them. Remember, this was far before the instant communication that the internet now provides. We dated for five months and then got married. I had no opportunity to learn about the Filipino community, the culture, the food, or family relationships. I went into it totally blind, with the only Filipino I knew being the girl I was marrying. There were rough moments initially, and I had to learn the importance of rice at every meal to keep her somewhat happy. So far, we've made it through three kids, five grandkids, and five good decades. I anticipate at least some more years together.

Maya, here’s a suggestion about tampo, rather than have the man come to you chasing your affection and attention. How about the woman comes to the man after the episode is over and apologizes for the sulking behavior. After all she initiated the tempo so she should be the one to fix it. Your thoughts, please

[@MayaLifeInThePhilippines]

yeah. I love that. That's what I do.

[@YoLoBong-xs3to]

It is not about single Moms with beautiful children. It's about dead beat Dads that may try to blackmail you or complain to immigration that you miss treated their child and get you deported. The same with separated women. To bad because so many of you are very nice and desirable.

[@susanpritchett8446]

I liked this video girls. NEVER sell yourselves short!

[@TITPodcastPattaya]

Wow, Nice new set up. You and 3 other guests. 😉 Always fun with you.🙏👍

[@sonnygmony]

"We will talk later" is very different than the silent treatment. Tampo is garbage. Recognizing that you want to have a serious conversation and you want to think about it carefully beforehand is practicing good communication skills.

[@andyswan88]

The answer to finding a 25-30 year old filipina who doesn't want kids, may be to find a 40ish filipina who looks 25-30. There are two of them in the video after all, surely there must be more.

Great topic Maya. The more we know - the better life will be!

[@batape1965]

When dating, you don't want to waste your time or your date's time. But you don't usually have much to go by when you first agree to go on a date with someone. A general idea of how they look, their age, and maybe a recommendation from someone that they are "nice". You might think someone is too young, and then find out they are very mature and responsible. You might think someone is too old, and then discover they are in better shape than you. You don't want a single mom, and then you fall for someone who has four kids. So it is difficult to BOTH give someone a fair appraisal, AND never waste any time.

[@Billy_B_Goat]

Maya, I'm so glad you added your thoughts about the importance of Tampo in that it gives a person the opportunity to calm down and not say anything that would be hurtful to your partner and damaging to the relationship. I've not really been in a relationship with a Filipina to fully understand the Tampo experience, but I can appreciate a Partner who would become silent and suffer through their own mental anguish in order to not calm down and not risk saying hurtful things to others they love. Great conversation and well worth my time.... best of luck getting those microphones/sound figured out. It's all work in progress, right. Peace and Love, B Goat

[@garytibo]

Maya, this was a very nice video, Thanks to you and all your friend in it...I couldn't help myself been surprise by your friend Shay for some reason...I like your video and GIO also because you can tell that you are serious people.😇

Thank you, Truth finder 😊

[@georgeplaxton3067]

nice topic Maya i love that conversation, Being single gives you an opportunity to show yourself just how to brave you are, and to know that u dont need anyone to walk by your side , and instead choose the right one to walk with when the time is right for u ,, ,..see u in your next vlog ingat regards to gio

[@Booracay]

I think most men have and extremely short list when it comes to what they want in a partner. For me, it is basically 3 things. 1. Attractive enough. You do not have to be a knock out. Just be what I consider to be average or above, and in good shape. 2. Is nice and treats me and others nice. If you are not nice I tend to adjust your attractiveness score down. and if nice that score will go up. 3. Intimacy. All of you should realize how important this is to a man. I understand how caring for your family is important. In the US we have social security to help support retired persons. In the PH, Social Security is the family. As long as expectations are reasonable I would be ok with it. Single Mom's. I would be ok with that, but there are some considerations. I can not be at the bottom of your list. Sadly, some women will put a new partner/spouse and the bottom behind her children, family, friends, and sometimes more. I must be tied for her consideration with her kids. If that can't happen then our relationship can't happen.

[@kenhorton9599]

Wonder information provided by a host of educated, mature and experienced woman. I think my energy guides me to the space between Shay and Leah. Thank you for sharing, it was truly enjoyable. Ken

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

I want to say 2 things about Tampo. 1st - When it’s not a manipulation tactic and for a short amount of time, 1-2 hours at most, I consider it to be a sign of love, kindness and respect. She is upset or angry and chooses to be quiet rather than argue or say something she will regret later. She doesn’t want to be mean or disrespectful to you because she cares about you. 😊 2nd - Allowing a woman to use her “cycle” as an excuse for bad behaviour and/or mistreat you and dictate the terms of your relationship is a recipe for disaster. There is a difference between caring for her, helping her, giving a little extra affection etc and being controlled by her and/or allowing her to make demands that are unreasonable. If a person truly loves and respects another person then hormones and mood shouldn’t change how they treat each other.

I have followed these four women for many months, one for over a year. You will never get clarity if you can't find it from these four. Honest, to the point, and knowledgeable.

[@GladysOnLove]

I loved our conversation so much, had a lot of fun ❤

[@glenhazlett4360]

I'm on Christian Filipino and I find that most women on there do not know what they want. When I try to find out what their ideal relationship is, I get a very generic answer. I couldn't live with a woman who talks non stop so I ask questions to find out who they are. The women do not ask me questions on who I am. I guess I'm acceptable however I am. It's irritating trying to get information from the women.

[@adamgrob-gn7ju]

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you so much for!!!!

[@ghostdog0342]

❤ Let's meet in the Philippines 🇵🇭 💕

[@TerryOakes-q4u]

Hi Maya, great show. I really love Leah's energy and personality. I would really love to meet her. I plan on moving to the Philippines in a year. Is there any way to connect with her? I'm 63, in fantastic physical shape and health.

[@CHRISTOPHERSMITH-ct4ku]

Wow , A whole Lotta pretty Filipina femininity, & Shay's Hottt!!!

[@kevinsoundmixer]

Hey, your sound is over modulated (distorted) at times, probably because you're talking too closely into those microphones. They are designed to be clipped to your clothing, not put up right against your mouth, just an FYI.

[@MayaLifeInThePhilippines]

Yeah. lesson learned for me. Thanks

[@JtJt-pd6wn]

Hi Maya, This was a good interview and with the perfect interviewee's. The topic was very interesting. Yes, l have watched many vlogs on Philippines and the culture etc. I have decided that l am looking for a Philippina wife, but have to be very careful whom l choose. I have been hurt and cheated on, l do not go onto dating sites because of scammers.

[@expatguideph]

This was so much fun and lotsa learnings from each other's experiences as well. Super grateful for the time and energy with you ladies. Thanks Maya, love ya :)

[@MayaLifeInThePhilippines]

love you 😙

[@Patdandou55]

I went for now 2 times in Philippines, 2 1/2 days on flight and stop over, 120 000 PHP for the plane ticket, 60 000 PHP for vaccines, 4500 PHP/ month for medical insurance, at least 40 000 PHP for rent a condo or an appart each month, white taxes for appart, taxis and many others services. Moments in Philippines when we don't work and don't have salary. I have a Felipinas gf and i explain to her what is the cost for going in Philippines and yes this is an other culture, yes family is important in your country but you have to understand how it can be expensive and exausted to go in Philippines and i said to her i understand your values but i have my values too and i didn't spend a lot of money and time for meeting a princess, if i dream about one, i can go to Disney Land and she understood my point. In the west women say they are the prize but they're not, in 🇵🇭 men are the prize and if a woman consider her like a Princess, men don't simp at her, just find another.

[@JenGioPhilippineJourney]

Do we as foreigners have to support our Filipina mother father, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews?

[@MayaLifeInThePhilippines]

not at all.

[@JenGioPhilippineJourney]

I guess I'm in a bad spot then 😢​@@MayaLifeInThePhilippines

[@mackcarlo]

If you are 100 years old and have a 19 year old Filipina then usually it’s a yes. If you are 40 and in good shape then it’s a no 😂

[@theblackboxpodcastshow1791]

I don’t mind having a child with a Filipina but I would rather have her not have any kids before I give her one, the father can come out and cause problems, that’s the same reason why I don’t want to date a woman with kids because she may also be separated from her husband and that’s a no good option for me. As far about Tompo , I dated a woman from the Philippines before and experienced Tompo and tried to let her understand that she could speak her mind and I wouldn’t get mad , it kinda worked and kinda didn’t at the same time 😂. As far as taking about myself, I won’t talk too much about myself, it comes off disingenuous (fake) I am a simple man with simple needs . But retirement brings a bunch of challenges but everyone is different and want different things. 👍👍😎

[@talltree8697]

How to date a philippina through a philippinas viewpoint.

[@sn0wolf]

I enjoyed listening to this video however it also made me somewhat sad. Listening to the ladies talk I could hear the influence of the internet via the words they were using and some of the ideals they have adopted. Almost to the point that I was thinking they have been ruined. This was primarily centred around the word ”boundaries” as this was an ideology pushed by Ophra back in her day and was primarily used as a mode of control and has become the favourite word of narcissists. I’m certainly not trying to say these beautiful ladies will use it that way or that they are narcissists however it does give me pause to worry as I’ve noticed lately in many videos that “wokeness” is starting to rear its ugly head in ph and if it takes hold will ruin one of the most beautiful places and peoples on the planet.

[@oraobah.oramamah]

[@ismethoxha6882]

Non ma ma . Time is everything for me . Because time we call is money. She, he should respect themselves. If the person do not come in first time in time. I will tell her to stay where is her. Because l can’t wait and l m not gonna go further with her no matter how beautiful might be. For 1 minute coming late my employee l send them home.

Every day people have to eat all over the world . When is it ever NOT about money? Even if it's just you all by yourself, all these things are due. Money money money...........

Im looking for a Philippines girl

[@TruthFinder7839]

I personally wouldn’t talk financial topics first, and only until once I found someone that is going to be a life partner. Dating and having a relationship where I’m getting to know someone is different than looking too far into the future and how we would grow together with possessions, and financial responsibilities for ourselves to be sharing. 😊

[@ghostrabbit36]

are all three of them single

[@daronwilliams695]

Honestly I would not date a single mom in the west but would be ok with it if she is from the east. Of course she would need to fit my requirements- feminine, friendly, attractive and etc. I think some guys think single moms are the same all around the world but they are not.

Why do they have to hold the microphone up to their lips? It makes it unbearable to listen Listen to.

[@llewxamej65]

Just the sound quality alone made me stop watching this video. Talking about money should really only happen once two are getting serious. I’m not going to have that discussion too soon, but I will watch and listen for clues as to the Filipina’s mindset. Tampo… this seems a very immature thing that Filipinas do… and wanting your partner to be the mature one when you’re being immature is just ridiculous to me. I have found that the sheer amount of unrealistic expectations that some older Filipinas have is overwhelming.

[@importg37]

Can you please hold the microphone away from your mouth because you are overloading the microphone input and distorting the sound the sound is terrible with the microphone so close to your mouths.

[@RobertDurm]

Bad Micro/ nor so well sound

[@marcprobin1659]

Wow, no kids at all! Is that possible even! Personally I would date with a Filipina that is around 35 to 45 and have children is ok! Reason with that age gap is because she would be more mature and would know what they want. That is my opinion.

[@ocmacman17]

the 47 yo is the hottest

[@kevinpinson1889]

Maya, you have 4 beautiful filippinas. Forgot to include yourself.

[@sonnygmony]

People that don't want kids are kind of sociopathic.

[@joeGuizan]

Generally Filipinas are low maintenance... so don't begrudge the savings to pass it on her primary family as help. Family connection is important to her, and so long as there is no interference, encourage the culture. 😅😅😅
