I adore, love and care for my wife treat her like a queen and she treats me even better.we are here in the states and even now when we go out shopping, dinner she's still all over me like we just met. Makes me feel so incredibly amazing. People look at us all the time because she's so attached to me, holding my arms and her eyes are locked on me, I don't even notice any other person around us it's so amazing to love and be loved by such a beautiful, sexy sweet cute adorable woman I've hit the jackpot.

Go to the Philippines, find your woman, keep her in the country away from corrupt western influence, but stash your money in a Texas trust, it's pretty much bulletproof, have the trust dispense a monthly check to you, she doesn't need to know. I suggest a province gal, but its your call. Don't fish in polluted waters, avoid bars and lounges, maybe a church. See what her mother is like, chances are, that's what you'll get. If her relatives keep asking for money, make them work for it doing chores you don't want to do, enjoy life. Best wishes.

It's the same for other Asian nationalities too. In the Phillipines, the Pinay is not looked at in the same way as she is looked at in the US. When you bring your filipina wife back to your country, you have to keep her busy. She is not a pet where you say goodbye and go to work and then return home and say " I'm home" they get bored, wander outside into the western world and, guess what? hundreds of men are wanting to get in their pants. They now have choices and lots of men to choose from. I've seen it happen here in Australia, they arrive with a man, get pregnant, then start sending money back home, then they leave for another man or, they go back home to a big house they paid for because of YOU and the other men they have been with. Is it common? NO. But, it depends on the woman YOU CHOOSE. you have to think with your head, not between your legs. They are not pets. they are lovely ladies who are outside their natural environment, they are homesick, lonely, and have no friends they want to be with you all the time.

Your observations are head on, as usual! When I married my ex I brought her to my country. I had no choice, because I had a very well paying job with a multinational corporation. I could never have made that kind of money in the Philippines. I was 40 years old, so retirement was not an option. The first two years were great and she would be happy with anything I bought her. Then she discovered that there was a Tagalog mass in our town every Sunday and started going there. That's where she met the wrong Filipinas. Filipinas who never went to a party twice with the same outfit; who would compete about who had the most expensive Louis Vuitton bag; who would cheat their husbands with other men or even engage in downright prostitution. But they were oh such devoted catholics, who would never skip a Sunday mass, burn candles for Mama Mary and walk in the procession for Señor Santo Niño. After 14 years of marriage she was no longer the shy little girl I had married, but an adultorous bitch and I saw no other option but to divorce her. I'm telling my personal story here, so your viewers would know that they better listen to the very valid advice you give in this video. And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that I will never bring another Filipina to the west.

[@briane173]

I was thinking the same thing. Reading the comments here I suddenly feel EXCEEDINGLY lucky I picked my asawa. I'm sure if she had her druthers she would've wanted to stay in the PI, but I was still in the service and was not at all willing at that time to trade my country for hers (America was a totally different place 42 years ago than it is now); so I brought her over here. The first couple of years were rough, just getting to know each other more deeply and working through the cultural issues; but she was 7 years my _senior_ and probably figured she could do worse than having a 21-y/o husband as she was approaching the peak of her female prowess. Never once in 42 years of marriage did we ever stray or focus totally on our family life -- each other and our kids. She grew up in a conservative area of Luzon and that never left her; and even though she knew that if she wanted to she could run off whenever she wanted, she wouldn't compromise her conservative principles for the sake of money or "having a good time." She picked her friends wisely, kept herself busy at work, and focused solely on her family in the PI and on me and _my_ career. It's readily apparent our marriage could've turned out badly; but it didn't, and based on what I'm reading here I feel even luckier than I already did.

You are a very smart young lady. I married an Indonesian girl and brought her to Australia. I was 30, she was 22. After 12-14 years and three kids she began to have a real bad attitude. Decided she wanted to be a bad girl and hang out with the ones that were already divorced and hated their exes. Most of all, they know how to take the ex down when the time comes. And they will teach her how to do it. If kids are involved the guy is screwed. I mean both Australian women and her Indonesian friends. They know how the system works. I lost my house and it cost me a lot of money but have got back on my feet after several years. Happily single now. She destroyed my family and now she's married to a loser and unlike before she actually has to work to make ends meet. Karma I guess. I'm happily single, debt free, good income, own my own house (simple and small - not like before - but mine) and have a good business. Funny how, when I was with her, I earned way more money but we never seemed to have any...hmmm. The main thing in my life is my three boys. She could never get to the younger one. He just turned 13 and we are very close. But she really did some damage to my older two. Damage I hope can be slowly undone. That is the one thing I can never forgive her for.

Pea, I married a Vietnamese girl in 2013,, it was my first serious relationship. Even though I met her through family and friends it was a genuine meeting. She moved to Australia to love with me, she has an Aunty living here which made it a bit more comfortable for her. However, she didn’t show much affection or interest in me when she came to Australia. In 2017, I discovered that she was seeing a younger guy in my home town instead of being a wife to me. I was genuinely interested in having a happy marriage with her and children but as it turned out she only wanted her visa to get into Australia. We have now been separated for over 3 years and waiting to get divorced. This is an issue many foreign men face, the foreign wife might find someone she sees as a better option ie more money etc. This has put me off wanting to marry another Vietnamese girl again, but as they say not all girls are like that. I am a deaf Australian man who has been single most of his life and finding a girl who is genuinely interested in me as a person has been difficult. I have worked and know a few Philippine people where I live and they are very nice people. You said in another video that, pinay girls know there are other girls he might find more attractive, this is true for us foreign men too if we bring her to our country. She might find another man more attractive and in my case this is the exact situation I faced. We are all human and have flaws and make mistakes, but some of our mistakes can hurt someone we love. And now, I feel lonely in my life again but it’s something I have grown used to. I am 45 years old with no children and find Australian women are too picky when it comes to men. Finding someone who is accepting of me as a person is hard.

[@NoStreetBs]

There is another HUGE financial risk factor, that overlaps with the ones given here, that makes bringing your Filipina to the US far too risky in almost any circumstance: it is Form I-864 Affidavit of Support. If you sponsor your bride or girlfriend to immigrate to the US, you must file this form, which is a contract between YOU AND THE US GOVERNMENT (not with your sponsored wife/fiance/girlfriend) obligating you to support them at 125% of the poverty income level INDEFINITELY. In 2020 that amounts about $16000 per person, or $1330 per month, and it goes up with the cost of living year after year. You are obligated to continue to support them at that level, EVEN IF THEY LEAVE/DIVORCE you, even if they re-marry someone else. Some think the obligation is only for 10 years, but they are wrong. The obligation can end once they have worked 10 years and earned Social Security, or if they become US citizens, or they return permanently to their own country. If they don't do any of those, you are stuck forever. AND if at any time, welfare benefits, like food stamps, are paid to your sponsored lady, even after she leaves you, you are also obligated to reimburse the government for that. That is a huge incentive for your Filipina lady to dump you once reaching the US, and pick out a new spouse she likes better. You carry ALL of the financial risk, and they carry NONE. As Pea points out, back in the US , competition is astronomically higher for guys. Your Filipina will have LOTS more guys to choose from, and less competition from women. (Look around. The average American woman has become quite fat. Especially look at the ratios in a popular gym. There are 20 young, perfectly fit guys for every 1 semi-fit lady. The rest of the ladies are pretending to be fit at best, but mostly overweight. Maybe one stunner per 50 guys - and your Filipina will probably register closer to the stunner. Do the odds.) And don't bother thinking you can Pre-Nup your way around that I-864 obligation. It has been tried and failed every time. Because your obligation contract is not with your sponsored lady - it is with the US government. Unless you have an overseas girlfriend/fiance/spouse that is able to enter the USA on her own merit (such as a student VISA), where you don't have to sponsor them, it is hard to believe it is ever worth it.

I have 2 friends who successfully brought their Filipina wives to the States. First guy's wife found a tech support job here, after working at a call center in Pinas, and has now been promoted to a Level 2 Tech. Second guy initially had a hard time because he was sending money monthly to his wife's family for a few years. But she was another good one and eventually became a licensed vocational nurse, who now sends her family money from her own earnings. You just have to find the right partner!

"BAMMMM" you hit the nail on the head in this video. This is just what westerners need to hear. We are fed up with videos from other countries that say that their women are the best, and maybe they are, but they forget the cultural and age differences. In your videos, you are being honestly honest, and that is what we as foreigners need to hear. Yes, we have much to offer, as do the Filipinas. I believe that there is an equal split between cultures, and you bring out what those differences are. I am so glad that I stumbled across your videos. They are very well put together with so much thought, information, advice, and reasonableness. Thank you so much for the time, effort, energy, and truthfulness that you present in your videos. It is very difficult for a single gentleman to put together the intricate pieces, and details necessary to put all of the pieces together, and have never been in the Philippines. I live in Canada and, I would say that Canada is a culture of Filipino men, and women alike. I have worked should to shoulder with Phlipinos for over 2 decades, and I personally believe they are some of the most beautiful men and women I have ever met. . Thank you for your videos. I would still like to hear from Grace from your former videos. Thank you.

Sadly, when you would go to the NCO club, many times you would be approached by some of these wives when their husband's were away.

Long story short after about a year my cousin who had never flown went to meet her. He was attracted to her and he went back a second time then she came to the US . They have been married now for about 15 years and still in love and the whole family loves her. They have a son together and she had a son prior to them meeting that lives with them too. I might add they are about the same age and my cousin is a good looking guy and does well for himself, but he would never have met anyone as sweet and loving as his wife if he hadn't taken that chance.

[@dzighnman]

@@TheFilipinaPea My wife, when in the USA actually was part of a Filipina group that on the surface was to keep in touch with their heritage. That was a fine premise until they started to ask her about her gold-digging plan. She was shocked at their selfishness and materialistic perspectives. We stopped going to their events... I did not know why for a few weeks, that she decided we no longer needed to associate with them. She has a term, "Plastic", but that covers everything from materialistic to outright deceitful liars. One thing for sure is there are a million different ways it can play out. 15 years later and through FB, we know that most of that group are divorced and or getting alimony/child support. Not many of the 30 or so in that group were as lucky as I am. I guess I put alot into objectively assessing my wife before making a commitment, something I did not do with the first wife of 30 years, not many good ones. In return, objective assessment is what I feel helped to make certain I was with that right one, and that I was that right one for her.

[@jasonbourne1596]

@@dzighnman I was talking to one younger Pinay and I guess she thought because I'm older and she's younger she could just say anything. I had barely even talked to her and she was already asking me to build her a house. My favorite part an earlier clue was right there on her profile, it said, "I'm not a scammer", which to me just means she probably is. She said if you think I'm a scammer then don't talk to me, we aren't all the same. So I did as she asked and ignored her for a couple days hardly saying a thing back, she blocked me and deleted her WhatsApp photo too probably,but I'm not sure about that part because if your blocked the photo goes away. . I went back to where she found me and looks like her whole profile was gone, I couldn't find it where it was supposed to be in my chat list. . 💯 Percent, she has bad intentions apparently. I let her know I knew how things work there. She thought I was stupid and would build her a house thinking it was our house. I told her I knew it would be her house and she could just kick me out anytime she pleases because I can't own land there.
