THINGS THAT MAKE YOUR FILIPINA HAPPY | Roger&Ismi Vlogs

[@katellamedicalgroup]

No matter how generous, sweet, kind, respectable, honest, caring and loving I am to my Filipina - she couldn’t overcome her sense of status - her self worth - she feel ashamed and unworthy to be my partner because she came from a poor family, struggle to raise three kids by herself and have many failed relationships in her past. She couldn’t realize that the stories about her life and the struggles that she had to endure is the main reason I fell in love and the reason I have supported her during her difficult times. Instead of opening up more about herself, she became more distant and silent - too shy to tell how she feels. It is the feeling of being ashamed and unworthy to be my partner - doubting about herself that makes me feel the relationship can not last forever. To be in a serious relationship - there cannot be any doubt about who you are and what you want in life. You cannot feel ashamed or unworthy to be someone’s partner. That feelings is hard to overcome and could end in divorce or separation when she is married.

Be careful,

[@gailmaplesden7380]

I had a Filipina here in the states who had self esteem issues and she needed adderation from multiple men to make herself feel good. Just keep an eye on her as there may come a day where she needs more than you can give her . It is a form of mental illness and needs professional intervention and as we are not therapist we can't assess what needs to be done. She has been hurt and abandoned with the stress of three children so don't think for a minute that hasn't taken its toll and the possibility of her one day saying your just like my ex is a real thing and you don't want to be that guy in her eyes .

Thank you brother

Ismi your so beautiful your hair is flawless and ur personality is number 1.

[@georgeince4136]

It's sad that you have to remind us about these things. I have been doing most of these things already, but it was good to be reminded to laugh and make her laugh more often. I can get to be overly serious at times. Great video. I have often felt mixed feelings about some of your videos, so it is good to hear a great one. 👍

[@woodspirit98]

So ismi is the light of the family, the heart and Roger is the head of the family. Sounds like you two are in love.

Great reminder for those guys who do not know or for those that have forgotten the core foundation points of a good relationship. Regardless of culture it is the same recipe for a loving relationship.

[@RogerIsmiVlogs]

You're right there my friend. For me this is all important in a relationship to stay stronger 💪.

[@bryanschuler7158]

Roger, you are such a lucky man. Ismi is such a sweetheart and has this innocent quality about her. You guys make me smile every time I watch a video. I plan on coming to the Philippines to meet my Filipina in December 2022. I live in the USA (Indiana) we have been talking for the last couple months. We have such a great connection. I plan on dating her and asking her to marry me. I just cannot believe all the love in your country! That’s where I want to be the rest of my life. I am 62 and retired in my Filipino is 53 and has her own business. I will start donating to your KZbin channel here in the near future. Maybe someday me and my Filipina can hang out with you two. Thanks for making me smile every day and every video. I would like to ask a favor. On your next video could you do a shout out to my Filipina? Her name is Gracie Agbulos and she lives in Trece Martires City. She also watches your channel and would be surprised to hear her name. Thanks again, peace love and joy to you and your family❤️

[@RogerIsmiVlogs]

Wow congratulations brother we're happy for both of you. Thanks for your support and it's our pleasure to meet you here soon. Okay we will give you a shout-out and your girlfriend as well.

[@kirbylogan2401]

Nice video! Your giving excellent advice here on how to make your filipina happy. My filipina wife is almost like a stand up comedian, she can come home from her job everyday and give examples of each of her co-workers and describe exactly how they talk and she can imitate their voices and it’s extremely funny! She will imitate me as well and usually I’m literally laughing most of the time. I’m not as funny as her but I have my moments but what I realized early in our relationship that being silly and opening up to each other sure helps the communication between each other. Being sweet with compliments and respectful of her family are important of course when my filipina wife needs a crying shoulder it’s good to be a good listener.

[@RogerIsmiVlogs]

We agree 💯 brother

[@bornahyard1]

Ismi, what I like about you is your personality and you look marvelous without 'war paint' aka makeup.

[@marcrichard7251]

I compliment my Filipina that she’s pretty and smart but she says “ I’m not pretty or smart “ and I feel bad 😔 and tell her she should not say that. I am more than generous with her and her family. I know we love each other but I think when I get to the Philippines 🇵🇭 I will see if she will go to consultation with a professional so we can be healthy. Love your channel

[@woodspirit98]

Not a good idea. First their really aren't places like that in the Philippines, second, you are telling her she has a problem. Something MORE is wrong with her. Remember the culture. All women, especially filipinas feel self conscious about themselves. She needs compliments from you. That's what she is telling you. they don't just come out directly and tell you what the want.

[@matthewhull2596]

There is no need for professional consultation. Just love her, flatter her, and compliment her with your love as well as affection, not materialistic gifts.

[@BelusTraveller]

Oh yes...congrats on the 17K Subscribers 👍👍😊

[@nursesteve2004]

well all the things you mention are basic things that any woman from any nationality would appreciate. I would add to the mix the following: be affectionate, be attentive to her intimacy needs, be totally monogamous, in that you don't have any relationships with other women that she could interpret as a threat to her. Be supportive of any career aspirations she has, whether she wants to be just a mother at home, or wants to be a doctor or lawyer.

[@thomasoverturf8295]

All very good points and most are very do-able, but one also has to set boundaries. A LTR is a two way street and needs periodic maintenance for both to achieve happiness. I know what I need to bring to the plate to build and maintain a good happy relationship, just need to find the one who can do the same.

[@clydesmith3437]

I agree 100 percent

[@budphillips8235]

Great episode guys currently in the hospital for an issue, My sense of humor doesn't translate well and has riled up my friend so I have to watch myself

[@StanHasselback]

All good points with examples too. Filipino's like to laugh humor is important to them. Making someone laugh is an involuntary response, if you have to explain a joke its never funny to the other person. Pay attention to your Filipina some people say Filipina's are a little clingy...would you say that is true?

[@c.a.sreacts]

Nice

[@joechandler7267]

Ismi I think Rodger should have no problem thinking you are pretty because you are absolutely gorgeous and you have such a great smile I love when u smile and kind of close your eyes some u just look great smiling like that and you have such a great personality Rodger always take good care of her because you have a good one there

[@RogerIsmiVlogs]

You're the best! That's absolutely right

[@Bodtec66]

Loving family as a human family (were all in this together) is easy enough. But, to like ALL of the members with how she gets treated and has been over the years then having to have automatic "respect" doesn't work in reality. It's true that to make the word "respect" have value, it must be earned, otherwise just saying you must respect them often times comes contradictory to honesty. I'll always choose honesty over auto-respect and for my wife, she loves that. For many, including me, false respect is no respect at all. Just our view. You guys are doing awesome! I always look forward to learning from you two!

[@steveperyer4850]

Great subject! You need to communicate with your partner, laugh with your partner, and love your partner. Being honest is the only way. My Father told me that if you love your Lady, her Family is all in with the deal, so you better Love them too! Great Advice Guys🌹🌹😁😁

[@RogerIsmiVlogs]

Good point!

[@jackjohnny682]

It's the same for any woman just spend money on her and that what's makes her happiest

[@ejtaylor73]

In my opinion complimenting her on a good job cleaning isn't compliment, I would feel like I'm saying it's ONLY her JOB to clean and treating her more like my maid rather than my partner, and we both should share the house work equally since we both live there. Although I don't like any make-up, I like the natural beauty, her efforts are worth acknowledging, especially if the two of you are going out together, I would be proud to have her on my arm and want to make everyone else jealous of her. The sense of humor I have no problem with, never take life to serious, you'll never get out alive.

A lot of sari sari stores don't make a income that's sustainable , long hours , people wanting credit and get embarrassed when they can't pay it back and stop going there, they would have to be smart and tough at times to say no , which is hard to do . But if the foreigners can help to educate them then it has a chance to eck out a little profit ,

I thought most of your list was pretty accurate. However I have never met a Man or Woman who want you to be completely honest. Yes honesty is for the best however, "everyone" tells their partner or just someone one they're trying to hookup with little lies. Remember, even the Pope has lied at some point.

[@RogerIsmiVlogs]

Agree on some point cause we're just human

[@woodpeckery]

The pope has told you that he's lied??! I wonder what he lied about, and why he told you about such a thing. "Everyone" lies... wuoww, that's an extreme statement! Everyone doesn't tell the world everything about them, but that's not lying. It should be clear what is a lie... most always, it's the intentional giving of false Information to another person, instead of the truth. 🤥
