I always say, a woman’s looks is like a resume, it can get them an interview to see if they’re a good fit or you need to move on to the next candidate.

[@InstitutoMadison]

Totaly agree

[@jk-zm2fs]

I love your logic and understanding of women

[@moshzilla1961]

You restored my faith. I’ve heard so many negative comments about gold diggers and scammers. I’m glad you say this is a minority. I can take care of myself with these types but I’m not up for being overwhelmed with these types while looking for the right lady. Thanks for all your videos.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

the highest concentration of scammers are, without a doubt, on the dating sites. meet women in town or while on a walk in the neighborhood.. that's where the normal, good women are.

[@Lutz-g7k]

@@Lifebeyondthesea I met my Filipina lady when she helped in a friend's household and garden. I had pity with her to ride home by crowded bus every evening for more than one hour, so I invited her to stay at my place nearby, without further intentions. Nevertheless somehow we came closer together. Someday at an excursion she showed me an unused piece of land owned by her family, it was MY idea to build a house there. So we did. The house nothing to show off, but strong to resist the storms in Bicol, and surrounded by enough land for a big garden, we have bananas and coconuts, and some chicken. 🌴

[@thetraveltranslator7465]

I tend to agree with most of what you said but I still think money is a primary reason why women get interested in men and start relationships and get married. Not just in the Philippines but everywhere in the world. What do you think it would happen if the guys who are in a happy relationship supporting their girlfriends or wives told them that from now on all expenses will be split on a 50/50 basis? I have a feeling that the divorce or breakup rate would be at least 50%. And let's not forget that family law is made so that divorce is all to the advantage of women.

[@davidtesler1198]

Exactly

[@user-pb2ce4tk1-izzy]

Young people get married for looks and personality all the time since the beginning of time.

[@albertwoods3921]

This is quite true. And Meredith was created to generate wealth. My daughter marry your son and we'll have a stronger family and army. Hence the word allies

[@SuccessiveApproximations-Intl]

Again, Reekay, you're making some great points, thank you for another down to earth video!

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

thanks. :)

[@oahuguy3918]

Your emphasis on Filipina’s seeking financial stability is true and it’s no different from any western woman back home. It’s just an economic reality due to the huge income disparity between foreigners and local Filipino’s. An average social security check of $1778/month is equivalent to a Filipino surgeon, thus increases the desirability of an old, overweight American here. And this is not news. Foreign men are flocking here in groves and are no longer considered to be a “diamond in the rough”. So, if you’re a single foreign guy seeking a Filipina partner, the key is to separate yourself from the rest of the flock (e.g., stay fit, learn their native language, etc.).

[@anthonycataldo1291]

I think you are correct. I have not met too many women chasing homeless, impoverished men. It would be interesting to interview and ask women what attracted them to a man and find one to say "well, he was broke, homeless, had bad hygiene, and no future prospects." 8)

[@albertwoods3921]

Absolutely one hundred percent correct

[@Joel.M73]

This is a good one. Spot on. Thanks for sharing. A little long though.

[@CLCIII]

Well said. And The Truth will set you free. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Thank you kindly

[@oncall21]

Agree Reekay. Fidelity, trust are right up there with financial security.

[@Brendan-05]

So true, great video again.

[@ericschnibbe6570]

One of my two bachelor degrees was in political science. But I went on to be a lawyer. I agree Poli Sci would be a dead end, useless degree without the further efforts and goals. Love the channel.

[@squealer42]

Yep. U.S. women for sure, the first thing most do is get out their ruler and measure the guy's paycheck.

[@dennisb7930]

Very good video Rekay

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Kevin-G-7]

100% correct about two things: (1) essentially all women in all countries care about how much money a man makes and there is nothing wrong with that; (2) the haters only look at the initial attraction of money and beauty and desperately need to believe that is the entire relationship. Regarding (2) they need to believe it because if it isn’t true many of their beliefs crumble. They aren’t inclined to logical introspection so it is easier to take a mental shortcut and believe it is all about money and looks.

[@oldguy2764]

Makes sense to me.

[@davidramsey5952]

You have the best most practical advice, I would love to have you with me when I’m looking for a good woman when I get there 😅 no really!! You’re a really logical and smart man

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

feel free to ask me anything via text or voicemail at my FB. i also do live consultations for a fee, but via messenger text i answer freely on my schedule. :) facebook.com/reekay.new

[@傅樂堂-z4b]

Reeky is right, women looking for men are not only for money,but also something more than money.

[@RealGaryGibson]

Very well explained Reekay!

[@johntilghman]

Interesting. As far as the Western women I can see how I failed. I dress business casual and always wear cross trainers as that is what feels good on my feet, I drive a 2022 higher-end SUV, work 100% remote and knock back an easy 6 figures. Found my Filipina, she is 41and I am 61. She has a job/career and her own money. But I make her happy and she makes me happy. I can't retire to PH yet, so looking to get a K1 and bring her here till I retire. She owns land and 2 homes in PH and wants to retire back home as well.

[@hnorthcutt]

A lot of people are unaware that if a person retired to the Philippines and on social security gets married to a Philippina and they have a child together the child will be eligible to receive a benefit equal to 50% of the expats social security. If the expat dies that amount will increase to 75%. I'm sure that most Philippinas are well aware of this. That's one good reason they are interested in older expats. I would hope that love falls into the equation at some point, hopefully, but this rule certainly adds credence to their looking to expats for financial security.

[@iam4066]

Very good informative video. We bless you

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Thanks a lot

[@noycambodia5518]

So true

[@Learning.Naturally]

Luckily, I guess my sweetheart figured because I was a foreigner or because I was an Architect that I was financially stable even though I was honest in my profile. This was way back in early 2015 and I wasn't financially stable at that time. We fell in love anyway. We have had an exciting life and yes, we are now financially stable. We help each other want to be our best selves and that makes all the difference in the world.

[@rlh125]

Great video.

[@user-pb2ce4tk1-izzy]

Young people getting together and even married for looks and personality all the time. Hoping to build together. Young people think different than us for that reason

[@richarddods221]

Gold ;)

[@chrishamlin5863]

My first visit to Vietnam was a solo bicycle tour from Hanoi to Saigon. At 58, I had been abandoned by American women and wasn't even thinking about meeting Vietnamese women. Eventhough I was dressed in ripped athletic shorts and faded T shirts wearing a backpack, the women were very interested in me. While I had significant assetts, I never mentioned them to any of the women I met. Not even to the women I eventually married until after the wedding. Accordingly, I can't relate to anything you said in this video.

[@dovoso5685]

Hi Reekay, imo, the different attitudes toward relationships between filipinas and expats are based on several aspects including - life experience, maturity, culture, and being on different levels of the Maslow pyramide.

[@mikeheaps2299]

So I’m one of those guys that makes over 6 figures, and when I date in the US, I drive my little commuter car rather than my Mercedes, for the very reasons you talked about in the video.. if my Mitsubishi (2023) isnt good enough then I don’t want a second date with my nicer car. I also on a US date will wear Jeans and a polo shirt for the same reasons… I’ve been on a lot of first dates 😂😂😂. I have less than 4 years until I retire and I’m headed back the the Philippines as soon as I sell my house 😊

[@chuck3671]

Congratulations on 100k Subs 😎

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Thank you so much 😀

[@TheGandorX]

Very insightful video. This also means that if you move to SE Asia to find a wife, you must bring it, be a provider. Curious which college teaches a degree in basket weaving....

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

yes. some guys will get a filipina wife when they themselves are dead broke by usa standards, barely getting maybe $500 month in some form of income. but with time the filipina realizes she's been duped. she 'thought' all foreigners are 'rich' and hitched her wagon to the wrong horse. so, imagine a man who marries a hot woman and six months later she cuts her hair short, gains weight and has no passion in bed for him. same result, he'd feel he'd been duped and would be looking for the door to get out. she'd be thinking the same with a broke man.

[@TheGandorX]

​@@Lifebeyondtheseathank you for being one of the youtubers that teach what's real. I finally woke up over the past 3 years, never too late to learn, I am 50 now.

[@geraldbrewer7900]

That’s every relationship lol

[@FreddieAllan-h3g]

My gf had a bf for 3 years .. he had a job .. Filipino man ...he cheated ...she left .. she's only 24 .. but all you said is true .. she trusts me not to cheat on her or leave her .. I know she's young .. but I don't care .. it's better than a woman who's slept with lots of guys ..had a tinder account .. and tells lies ..

[@johnperez6006]

Philippines rich $2000+ income, USA rich $8000-$10000 from what I've seen Vloggers saying.

[@johnwatson8323]

I was studying political science 😊

[@oncall21]

Women in the Philippines date to marry and bare children. Remember this when dating Filipinas if you are much older and having more children is not on your bucket list.

[@Abelius]

You know? I think you don't have many comments in your videos because there's nothing more to add. xD Anyway, my daughters are 12 and I'm already telling them they should skip the teenage 'eternal love' phase, and wait until 20+ to pick a 30+ guy in a decent position. I have some hopes they'll heed my advice because we'll be living over there in a year, so maybe they'll take a hint from the locals. That I hope. Here... I wouldn't even try.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

comments rolling in now. :) and yes, i told my daughter the same thing (didn't listen). as the greeks said, "youth is wasted on the young."

[@AussieCro1985]

I am hearing impaired person wearing hearing aids. Asian ladies are very difficult to hear with their high pitch vocal type and heavy ascent during conversation. Very different to the western white ladles.

[@rbarker68]

Usually agree, but as a lawyer with an undergraduate degree in political science. I did say "hey man."😅

[@Lawrencerice]

I got asked to send a naked picture once. I sent a pic of my hand, and only my hand, with middle finger, extended captioned:"This is the only naked pic I will give." Needless to say, that girl didn't work out! 😂😂😂😂

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

real women don't ask for dick pics. you were likely dealing with a male scammer who collects such material from some random idiot and then blackmails him for money. long time scam that's been around a while.

[@answerman9933]

You should have sent a picture of a naked woman.

[@Lawrencerice]

@@Lifebeyondthesea Yeah, I figured at the time that moron's "day job" was as a Nigerian Prince... LOL!

[@Lawrencerice]

@Lifebeyondthesea Nope. Not remotely possible. I have never done the online dating thing and would never consider an LDR. Only interested in meeting real people, in person.

[@bernieeod57]

Having made 5 Western Pacific Deployments, getting a girl in the Philippines requires "Pesonality"

[@rogerhessell9137]

My mate lives in the Philippines with his finpno girlfriend and is daughter he runs 4 business and have a farm with lots of animals and he breeds and sells and grow things and there lives off the land he got a 5 bedroom flat and are expecting twins and lives off £800 Sterling a month cos he gets lots of money coming in from all the business and put money aside every month so he finpno girlfriend and is children's so there will be well off up to now he has put away in the bank and it can not be touched until he died and he has got in the bank to share out with is finpno girlfriend and children's it is 3 million pesos each and it still going up and he only 60 years old now and he still fit and healthy

[@timsmith4951]

Isn't requiring a man to 6-7 figures, marrying for money? Not only that, but requiring him to maintain and build it? If they suddenly lose their income then they're a deadbeat.

[@donmills2167]

If you're not attracted to someone, then you might as well have an arranged marriage.

I was in the Philippines and I didn’t see woman as attractive as the woman in your photos. They all had wide noses not like the ladies in your photos. I didn’t see any ladies like the models in your photos.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

all the images in the vids, i create with AI for illustrative purposes. i often try to pattern the AI model after the person discussed. in the PH.. i'd say about 6% are a 7 thru a 10. with maybe 1% being a 10. but, they are very approachable. using real women means getting model releases for each. not cost effective to be paying models for photo shots.

[@freestyle73]

You can find model too, but it's like 1/10 000, need wait and try to find your diamond

[@davidtesler1198]

They are there but if you want more go to Japan

[@alexanderkroboth3310]

I usually like your videos but here you're completely wrong on one thing. Looks are just as important to women as they are to men, women go crazy for really physically attractive guys, they don't care if he has money or is homeless.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

for short-time fun.. women focus on looks. for a husband.. maturity and financial stability is what they seek out. the guys women never gave a 2nd-glance in their 20's become the men they chase after when they are about to hit the wall.

[@alexanderkroboth3310]

@@Lifebeyondthesea Yeah, they are settling, because the guys she was with in her 20s aren't interested in her anymore in her 30s, but if she could she would still chose the guys she hooked up with in her 20s. Women usually want to keep the guys they hook up with but these guys always leave because they have options, they are Chads, which are the 5 to 10% most physically attractive guys.

[@MariaQuiambao-r6t]

She's a gold digger

[@alikabok-es4sx]

Reekay, You made me laugh so hard when you implied that having a degree in Political Science is the same as basket weaving.😂😂 That really cracked me up.
