Relationships in the Philippines/‪@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234‬ Let's see if this helps you save time and money while looking for love in the Philippines

[@HumBirdBell]

Paul …why do you and Mae separate when you go to dumagete… I never get tired of being with my wife … we do everything together..I don’t think you and Mae will last …even though you a good guy … I think Mae is looking around for other options

[@Jimmyjackfunk433]

What nonsense!

[@teeh7125]

its not healthy to be with someone 24/7

[@paulspranger1]

absolutely correct..... temporary separation and reuniting with out any anxiety or jealousy only confirms the fact that 2 people love each other beyond approach and are very secure in their feeling for not only each other but their own happiness and security...... come on man...what a question....

[@michaelcassidy1864]

Recommending anything is unusual for you Paul so this dating site must be special. And it is. I've heard nothing but good comments about Christian Filipina. That's highly unusual coming from us expats who tend to be highly critical. A client of mine today reported he needed detailed information about a lady he was interested in. He contacted Christian Filipina. Within 24 hours they responded with the information. No other dating site would dream about doing that.

[@Ron_Motor50]

Brother I met my girl on Filipino Cupid but a lot of scammers beware !

[@datingdave1310]

Sorry to say, Paul, but religion isn't for everyone...!

[@joechandler7267]

Hi Paul I have been planning to move to the Philippines for over 3 years now and plan to finally get to do that this year been watching your videos all of that time and have learned so much from you so thank you for that I have used the date apps during that time and. Met so many bad apples there i did met one and invested a lot of time but no money at all thank God because it just fell apart so I was pretty discouraged for a while but I gave it another shot and I met this great woman she is 49 but looks liked she 30 she is gorgeous she has never been married no kids and her family is not in the picture either she has her own home and land has a small store that she supports herself with she never ask for anything from me we video chat every day and we talk about our lives and her past life is almost the same as mine and what I want in my life in the future is the same as hers we just want a simple life the kind that's just laid back keep to ourselves and enjoy life together and I plan to marry this woman and live out my time on this earth with her by. My side

[@TomR61]

Love your videos, Paul. Keep them coming. Best wishes to you & Mae

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Thanks, will do!

[@painrick]

Paul, The most Loveadle rogue af Velencia, Who else could possibly compete with such class, sophistication and mature perspective !

[@bonzotalonzo9072]

There's just to many fish in the sea here to meet anyone online imo. And yur going to have to meet them face to face anyway at some point so why not just do it from the start, eliminate the drama & all this overthinking... Get yur feet on the ground here first then you will see how easy it is to engage/meet people. . Be natural, don't force it, always take yur time & don't fear rejection. The fish are abundant..

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @bonzotalonzo9072 Great point! Meeting in person and taking things naturally worked for us. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

[@IsaacMedrano]

Awesome vid Don Paul de Dumaguette!!!! I just saw Scotty give a business card to a baberoooni in his latest video. This explains it. I am happy to say that I found the one in fact she found me (Nov 2021) when I was taking a break from one of the dating sites. The scar tissue from the ones that were red flags, those that were coy about their intentions before the red flags, led me to create rules. One of them being no relationship until we meet in person which went in tandem with I don't give money to a woman that is not my GF. TL;DR 13 months late we met in person in Thailand (she is an OFW). Then 13 months from starting the relationship we proposed to each other on the same night. Hint: She beat me to it.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @IsaacMedrano Thanks for sharing your story! Congrats on finding "the one" and building a strong connection!

[@youbestbequiet]

I am visiting this fall and retiring next spring. Im highly considering dumaguete, even with the drama lol. Im 57, tired of the rat race and watching the cost of living steal everything ive c worked for. My wife of 30 years passed in 2020 so im ready for a change. I hope i getvthe chance to say hello and thanks. Your videos have been so helpful and informational. Take care

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @youbestbequiet Thanks for reaching out, looking forward to meeting you!

[@azspeedster5465]

I am retired and a widower. I, personally would not consider going on a dating site to meet a woman if I am seeking a partner for a relationship. There are too many variables that you can’t gauge from a phone call, computer monitor or text messages. I would travel to the country, get a feel for the place, meet people there before I even consider seeking a girlfriend or wife. Why invest my time into communicating with a woman I know nothing about except through social media contact. Everyone has their way of meeting women and this is mine. Great video, Paul. All the best to you and Baby Mae.

[@johntaylor4817]

I often post the same advice. Foolish to engage in an ldr, just come here and start your search for your one and only. Beautiful choices everywhere and they’re easy to meet with or without a dating site.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @azspeedster5465 Thanks for sharing your perspective! We've had similar experiences with getting to know someone in person before committing. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@JeffjeffJeffjeff-y4y]

Yea. I signed up to a site out of curiosity, and it was at about 30 women that I liked I realized that this is dumb. I can learn nothing that matters from text. Boots on the ground and intuition on full radar.

[@ChristopherKnN]

I will use both methods once I have boots on the ground there. I'm not so interested in trying to have something lined up for when I land. I'm not on the market until I'm in the market.

[@SiRBov]

LOL Red Onion! They were all over Southern California once upon a time.

[@Shaknbake]

Paul is the Paul Harvey of the Philippine's......

[@retiredrebel111]

Thanks again Paul...love you and Baby Mae. The business card concept is great!

[@American_Mike]

Christian Filipina is just as bad as the other apps. I don't know why men feel like they NEED to find a woman before they get to the Philippines.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @American_Mike Thanks for sharing your experience! We've had our own ups and downs in our online dating journey.

[@grumpydudebryant]

Honestly Paul, I see Scot, and probably Chad are basically nice guys, but personality is a key factor in meeting people. First impressions are a natural past of social migration. In their respective videos, both Scott and Chad have expressed a variety of views that show they have shortcomings in their interactions with other people. Scott has flat-out has expressed his judgmental attitudes and has said he does not like being around people... need I say more? Chad tends to be a bit snarky and has an air of superiority when he interviews guests on his channel. Since they both needed your presence to advance their own agendas on their KZbin channels, I assume they were on their best behavior with you. But in watching many of their respective videos, these are the wrong two men to take dating advice from (not even if taken with a single grain of salt). Your personality is why your KZbin channel has exploded to such an admirable level. Scotty is a 40+yo still acting like he is a cocky 25yo. Filipinas can pickup on traits like that, and just because they are foreigners they have an advantage of impressions, being a self-absorbed "player" is not as attractive to Filipina albeit more acceptable in the West.

[@rickylee6129]

Totally Agree 👍. Scotty Boy 🤡.

[@midlifewanderings]

I agree with you @grumpydudebryant. I have followed both these guys and got the impression that they are not really the best individual to get advised from. Not that I am looking for their advice, but just saying...

[@napoleonmdusa8877]

You guys need to re-watch the video. Neither Chad nor Scotty were providing the dating advice--that was coming from Paul who said he was re-stating what he was told from an "average looking" guy who had a very beautiful girlfriend.

[@chrissimpson4322]

​@@napoleonmdusa8877most guys I've known there with such girlfriends are effectively cucked, whether she's doing other guys or not, he knows & she knows it's literally instant replacement at her call. Subtle things like she always decides when to leave, glaring at his friends over his shoulder when they suggest anything, assuming it's of course ok to have the autistic lesbian sister sleep on the couch with the TV on 24/7 etc etc

[@grumpydudebryant]

@@napoleonmdusa8877 Maybe you need to re-read my comments that were directed at Paul. I was giving my opinion as to why I believed both were struggling to meet quality girls in the Philippines. Since my initial mistake in the Philippines 16 years ago with my former partner, I have had ZERO problems meeting amazing Filipinas. It all depends on your personality. My comments were directed solely to Paul, noting the issues or deficiencies I had observed in in both Scott's & Chad's on-cam traits & personalities. I asked several of my Pinay friends who I know had seen either or both their channels and comments were reflective of my own. Thanks for chiming in, as its always good to hear opposing viewpoints

[@kirkdyck5797]

I am surprised at how so many guys are looking for long term relationships. I am happy with being Mr.Right now,friends,companion,just have fun now!

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @kirkdyck5797 We're all about balance here! Enjoying the journey while having a partner by your side is great too!

[@rickylee6129]

Good Video Paul 😊. Keep the video's comin. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

[@YaThinKnow]

A woman sitting alone at a bar! Unrealistic expectations. A girl sitting with friends! If you’re alone, approach her and ask to dance, she will probably be at least be civil. I’m very shy, but have found bars to be the last place to meet someone. One thing about online, no chemistry when you meet. That initial chemistry I think is the most important aspect of first contact! 😂

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @YaThinKnow Thanks for sharing your perspective! We've had similar experiences with online connections lacking that initial spark.

[@JeffjeffJeffjeff-y4y]

“Can I see myself with her in 5 years?” That’s the golden question which has been bouncing around my brain as I watch all these vlogger situations. I’m now twice divorced. C’mon man! Long love is an illusion. Or if you think that’s too harsh of a word, modern love is definitely more imagination and hope than foundational truth. But here I am anyway. Very much enjoying videos like this that cover the courtship trials and tribulations “over there.” As it really is over there not real. Might get boots on the ground when I hit 62 next year.

[@johnthomas5806]

good advice Paul, for some anyway, I was a lucky one and found my Fillipina on line and have never looked back in over 13 years............

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Wow, talk about hitting the jackpot! Finding love online and going strong for 13 years? You've definitely won the relationship game!

[@valeriek5020]

American men do that with their business cards. One handed out an emery board (nail file) with their business information on one side. Unique and I am sure if she is interested, she will contact you. I'm not sure about having any facebook address printed. I think meeting men in the grocery store works well and if he sees (not stalking her) a woman he finds pretty, might move in her direction, notice she is not wearing a wedding ring, and while looking at the same product, say hi. Her eye contact will let you know if you need to move into third gear before she moves on. If her eye contact is anything but pleasant, smile and leave. Just walking through the store with your cart and saying hi to someone you find pretty and not wearing a wedding ring works well also. Eye contact will indicate her interest and unfortunately that is all you will get and she leaves it up to you to make that next move.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @valeriek5020 Thanks for sharing! We've had similar experiences in the Philippines.

[@DavidMarquis-n7b]

Hey Paul....count me as another positive user of Christian Filipina. I started watching your channel about a year ago. In inspired me to vacation to Philippines. Booked my trip, then joined Christian Filipina. Long story short...moving to Philippines from USA next week...getting married in April. Using JRC for Visa's (thanks to you). Would love to meet you sometime ! Thanks for the insight and great info you provide on your channel. God Bless

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Well, it seems my channel has become the unofficial spokesperson for Christian Filipina! But in all seriousness, I'm thrilled to hear that my content has been helpful to you. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and I hope you have an amazing time in the Philippines!

[@napoleonmdusa8877]

Paul, that woman who rejected you after looking you up & down is classic! That's what I experienced most of my life. I can tell you from experience that her looking you up & down is because she is evaluating your height and concluded that you're not tall enough for her to even engage with you. I'm a bit over 5'2" and I get this exact response almost every time I approach a women. I also like the "business card" idea and will probably try that after I get settled in the Philippines for retirement. It just seems like that is a good method for both (man & woman) to remain comfortable and have time for the woman to think it over and maybe send a short text message.

[@tryscience]

I suspect she was looking for brand names and heavy gold jewelry during the process.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @napoleonmdusa8877 Classic reaction indeed! We've learned to appreciate people's genuine selves, not just physical appearance. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@abielpaz3187]

Thank you for sharing the story about being rejected, it surprised me. That lady had no class, you dodged that bullet 😂😂😂. I bet Mae is way more attractive inside and out. Thank you for the great video again

[@tryscience]

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

[@mikeschultze3135]

Came from Thailand and stayed 60 days in Dumaguete. I bought "Business Cards' because a long time ago I learned this was a very easy way to introduce yourself. So in my backpack I had about 25 cards. I would meet beautiful Filipina ladies but didn't want to fumble around getting a card out. My presentation skills were very caveman type. I am like Paul, I forced myself to talk with a stranger while standing in line. Sometimes the best situations are those without any planning. The Business Card approach works best for you both. No pressure to make any decision. Girls will like that too. Gives them time to think about everything. Online Dating Apps IMHO are a waste of your time and money. No matter what you do or say, everything will be reset when you meet in person. The more you are dating in person, the quicker you know the real person. No hiding behind a keyboard.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @mikeschultze3135 Thanks for sharing your Dumaguete experience! We appreciate your feedback on the Business Card approach.

[@franky3231]

Last time I checked Christian Filipino Site was super expensive VS all other dating sites and I couldn't justify the cost.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @franky3231 We agree, it can be pricey! We found love through mutual friends and family connections.

[@Mikewilliams728-v5z]

I did something I had never seen anybody mention on KZbin. I met my GF online, and after a couple of months chatting, I began to realize she might be exactly what I was looking for. But after all the horror stories I've heard about, I was still very cautious and skeptical. So, I did a Google search for a private investigative agency that specializes in background investigations. I found one that had offices in Manila, Bangkok, and a few other places. When I got the report back, I let out a huge sigh of relief because everything she had told me about herself was true. Such as never married, no kids, etc, etc. While not a guarantee, it did allow me to open up a lot more to someone I may be spending the rest of my life with. It was a bit expensive, just under 1k, but I put on CC and paid it off over months. Now it's been 2 years, and things are great, but I'm glad I was able to rest at ease much sooner than if I hadn't.

[@robertstephenson8107]

Have you divulged this in case she finds out at a future time

[@americanedokko2782]

Interesting and a great idea! 👍

[@Mikewilliams728-v5z]

@robertstephenson8107 No I haven't yet. I plan to at some point. But I'm about 90% sure she would understand. Right from the beginning, she acknowledged that there are some dishonest and deceitful Filipinas, and she would constantly assure me she is not one of them

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @morrocco2112 That's a wise decision! We also did our research before tying the knot and it gave us peace of mind. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@rustyevolution6298]

I traveled 20,000 kilometers all aroung the Philippines on my motorcycle last year and never met a selfaware individual who got scammed. Guys getting scammed by girls are guys who have already scammed themselves. Stupid is as stupid does. It is the fools who get taken for a ride. It's not that difficult to meet sincere women here in the Philippines. Just dont expect to find the good ones hanging around bars. Avoid areas that are full of tourists and expats and you will find some wonderful people.

[@Explorer766]

Great comment. Rang out like a shot. I might define self-aware even as having a clear vision of WHAT YOU WANT. When you know precisely where you are going, even though it only exists in your mind, you will know when the woman or situation before you IS NOT IT. No problem. Be sincere, kind, even generous if you can, and move on. And guess what? Even if your vision never manifests the journey will leave behind a trail of scamless but mutually beneficial human interactions.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @rustyevolution6298 Thanks, I agree with your take on things! We've had similar experiences.

[@kevmonty1]

The way he is using the app is the best. Being there and then being able to go meet these ladies is the best way. Healthy LDR’s are rare and frankly I couldn’t do it. Transparency, I’m on CF and have been since 2020. My original plan was to meet someone and then come get them....but that’s a no no. I can’t live in the islands.

[@gperdew]

My opinion is “the regular guy”’s problem is he is creepy.. stop using Babearino. Im sure if they watch his channel they will just think he is a creep. Treat females not like an object and they might be interested. Just my thoughts

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

He is actually a very nice guy in person

[@ccrider8483]

I unsubscribed from his (regular guy) channel last year because he just talked a lot, but didn't say very much. Pretty much a time waster. As an English teacher I am sure he knows the definition of 'brevity', but can't put it into practice. I also picked up on a bit of a creepy vibe.

[@gperdew]

Maybe.. but from what I see on his channel, which people know more about. He seems creepy. Maybe he is just awkward on his approach. I have watched many of his video.. weird how he walks past females and all of a sudden the camera goes to slow mode. I honestly see it as weird. Even my wife says he definitely seems creepy. Now when he does more travel things he isn’t that bad.

[@rickylee6129]

He's a creepy clown 🤡.

[@Chu6um]

Meeting the 'perfect' anyone is like getting the world to agree on which ice cream flavor is the best. I think the only way to find a 'perfect' person is if they're sporting an actual halo with a set of wings. If not, well, I'd wager it's great to find a couple who's highly compatible. Great to have a good amount of self confidence, and at least be functional in any social interaction. It's usually just a matter of the 'right time, right place and right situation' sort of life event. If one has to have that 'perfect' partner, your odds are better off with buying a jackpot lottery ticket. Reality is, there's only so much we have to control the world, so usually it's just a matter of being able to adapt and willing to experience life as best we can.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @Chu6um Thanks for the honest perspective! We agree that finding "the one" can be unpredictable, but it's all about being open to opportunities and adapting to life's surprises.

I totally agree with Chad! Christian Filipina is how I met my soon-to-be (2/04) Wife! The screening process was head and shoulders above any dating site I have ever used!

Only problem I see with the cards for me is what if during the course of a week you gave out 4 or more cards and then you start getting texts. How you know which one? Of course the positive thing is only gave to ladies who interested you.

Why do you care which one? You gave the cards because you liked them so obviously all can text and you will be ok with it.

[@Maarten8867]

That's a great strategy for meeting pretty ladies. I still prefer the apps since it's quite easy to filter out the scammers and then you can have a little 'interview' to see what her values and interests are before going through all the trouble of meeting up.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @Maarten8867 Apps work too! We like a mix of online and offline approaches. Thanks for sharing your approach!

[@tryscience]

Ah.... Poor Paul. You know red onions make you cry, right? The surprising thing about that story is that it took place back in an age where some women were almost civil. Looks like you found a woman who was ahead of her time ! Nowadays trying to get to know a western woman is the quickest avenue to a severe case of frostbite lol ... I can recommend for any poor saps in the US who want to meet a quality woman, find a grad student from a non-western country, in my case I met some wonderful truly amazing and beautiful women and had some quality relationships that way.

Hi @tryscience Thanks! We appreciate the humor, and yeah, Baby Mae is definitely one of a kind!

Paul, even CF has issues, but they are what I found to be the best at screening...what I also found with CF was those with profiles that had been members for years were more likely to either be scammers or severely emotionally damaged! 😇

Great episode Paul!! I myself am a 45 year old Canadian expat living in bacolod since 2017. I also follow regular guy and chad foster. 😊 I would like to advocate for another fellow canadian who is a vlogger from iloilo. Ive heard him mention that he tried to reach out to you on his first of two trips to duma three weeks ago but wasnt able to reach you. His name is Mike from the channel that philippines life. He had over 130k subs last month, but has now had to start from zero again... Hes rocking it! Hope that you could have a video collab or meet up with this hard working vlogger 😊😊 Thank you Paul!

If you ever listen to Steve Harvey.. This was exact approach.. And he did this in the USA... He talked about this at least ten years ago.. On his TV show

Just go to church, pray on it, and be a good god fearing person and live life daily as a good Christian man and you will have a great woman in time.

[@KennethIverson-d3j]

Yea right

[@napoleonmdusa8877]

Why does one have to be a "God fearing" person? None of my religious friends would say they are a "God fearing" person because nothing in their upbringing taught them to be afraid of God.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @mikealsleben4671 Thanks for the advice! We're grateful for our faith-based journey together.

[@gothicov]

this method has a drawback, there is a high chance that already in the first minutes of the date you will not like the girl’s character, because before the date you did not even have a short conversation with the girl and have no idea about her character. But its very nice for start chating with her, like a dating site, only instead of photos you see face to face and a business card as your first message

The business card sounds interesting, I might consider it. Thank you for the suggestion. The experience I had was very similar to yours about being rejected. It felt like I was less than an animal. I have felt this many multiple times in my lifetime. I would be choosy where I would use them. Thanks for your KZbin channel.

When and if i head to the Philippines I'm gonna me like a horse with those eye blinders and not want to look for companionship. I'm far from shy but I'll be paranoid and not trusting since I'll feel like as if my forehead should say " atm " on it. Lack trust in any relationship isnt at all good so why bother on my end.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @user-bd3gt9jt1x We understand the initial apprehension, but trust comes with time and getting to know someone.

[@painter662]

Ask them for a Coffee. Or some equivalent, not a formal date. Dates scare women, coffee doesn’t. Be yourself. If she don’t like she’ll excuse after one cup, if she’s still there for cup two… you have someone who likes you.

[@MikeHoncho884]

No LDR for me! No way! I guarantee you if you meet one at the airport walking through the airport, you’re going to see more attractive women than the one you’re with. The business card is a great opportunity to break the ice and let them stew on it for a day or two and if they’ve got the guts to text you or call you then you got a date it’s just like being a salesman sooner or later, you’re gonna get a yes. 👍 I’ll have to get a box of business cards together before I head to Southeast Asia!

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @MikeHoncho884 Thanks for the tip! We've met some great people through airport encounters and business card exchanges.

[@stormtrop4]

Interesting idea with the business card but I think you'd also need to include a social media account as well. Your Facebook or Instagram profile can be used as a dating profile so when they search you up, they get a better sense of who you are before they try messaging you.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

That's a great point! Including a social media account on the business card can definitely give people a better sense of who you are. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@ChristopherKnN]

Exposing your social media account on an initial introduction sounds highly risky to me. And dropping a business card is barely condered an introduction. There may be good reason why that beautiful woman is single. Since they rely so heavily on social media, that may be something to share after a date or two.

[@stormtrop4]

@@ChristopherKnN Good point about the privacy of your info ... just create a 2nd account with the pictures and info you wouldn't worry about sharing (just like you would when you make a dating profile). Almost every filipina has Facebook or Instagram so it makes sense to try and connect with them using the tools they always use.

[@rfry200]

Not sure about social media account info. more info, more reasons to screen you out or scam you for your resources. If they are interested they will call. Good enough. Besides they will google the name and phone number anyways.

Hey Paul, maybe you do story on me on KZbin, I live in savannah ga, planning on moveing to Phillipines Jan 2026, I met beautiful philipina province girl off Facebook. To make long story short, im going against all advice you guys preach on KZbin, me and my philipina girlfriend are building a house on her own property, I've never met her in person, I send her money every month, the house should be finished by June this year, maybe travel to her and get her story, I know I'll get a lot of negative feedback, but I settled with her after all the scams I found on dateing sites. I know what im doing, if im getting scammed I can afford to lose, but this my last time trying to find my end of my life partener.

[@tonymars1093]

Do it your way but very risky.

[@donniemorris9959]

It's just little money, some men that has little money or none, I'd say don't send any money until you move to Phillipines. In my case I just wanted to gamble one more time, if it works great, if not, ill stay single and just travel around asia.

Feminism says men should talk about their feelings but then when we do talk about our feelings, we are belittled. we aren't allowed to acknolwdge how emotionally devastating the endless rejection is of trying to ask someone out. you're just told like you don't know how bad women have it if you even hint about how badly it could hurt being a man.

[@joshuarizalforeman816]

Two ways to meet somebody? Online is a minefield or a scam. How about in person? I met my wife face-to-face in HK. We dated for a few years, started a family and relocated to the Philippines. I have found that the 'Christian' aspect of that app is far from 'Christian'.

[@jocelynjack]

Aren't you going to ask first if the "woman" is single at least? what if married? and husband saw you handing down your "business card"? The best way in my opinion to meet quality women, (somewhat successful in their field, makes their own money, and DOES NOT DESPERATELY NEED a foreigner for security) is to go to church, sports event , do whatever hobbies you like, travel, try meet them there, if you find out they are single, give them your "business card" same strategy, be genuinely interested in them. There are a ton of doctors, cpas, lawyers, nurses, business woman in the Philippines who are single and don't mind meeting foreigners as long as you portray yourself as serious and not just looking for fun, they will be attracted to you too. Be confident no matter how old you are. Filipinos like foreigners look wise, use it to your advantage! You don't have to settle with poor desperate filipinas all the time. Be confident.

I have a question unrelated to your video. It is regarding filing a US tax return while living overseas. In all the videos I have seen so far of expats and/or retired permanent US citizens receiving social security payments overseas, it has never been addressed and mentioned. As far as I am aware (since becoming a US citizen a few decades ago), US citizens must file a US tax return no matter where they reside. Is that correct? If that is the case perhaps you can share your experience by creating a "How to" video about that subject. I would appreciate it very much. Thank you, Paul, for your time!
