Dating a Filipina - An inside look at Expats vs. Locals

[@opn2000]

Forget all the haters, live your life , and be happy.

[@marktheexpositor]

Where did they go? Anybody know anything?

[@MB2464]

I have been married to a Filippina for 30 years now so I think I know the people and the culture quite well. To Ave: I agree with everything you said... therefore the fact that you realise and understand these issues means that you have a big advantage over many Filippinas and a much better chance of having a great relationship! To Chad: Ohh man... I hope you understand and appreciate how lucky you are to have found Ave. She is really 1 in a million (I mean this only in the nicest way). A great vlog... really enjoyed it and could relate to it in sooooo many ways! :-) Please keep up the great work!!

[@Suitstoshorts]

Thanks so much Mark. We were worried about putting this video out because our purpose was not to offend anyone. I really do feel lucky to be with such a great person, very blessed. :)

[@tourismclub2867]

are you dtill lucky and blessed? or.........

[@choiklu]

awesome HD, what is the new camera ?

[@Suitstoshorts]

Thank you Choi, I'm still using my regular DSLR for these vids. Glad you like it.

[@09reason]

You tend to paint with such a broad brush. My Filipina wife of 18 years has never asked where I'm going or texted me while I was gone. She is family oriented raising our two children wonderfully.

[@derektolliday7694]

What happened to the sound really looking forward to seeing this video sort it out.

[@auckie]

Personally, every single filipina I have talked to, in person, broke up with their ex filipino boyfriend because he cheated. Every single time.

[@rwt1889]

Scot Foley yes I also have been told this from many Philippine girls.Many chick boys in Philippines lol

[@vanturner2469]

do you think she would tell you he left because she had 2 guys on the side?

[@auckie]

van Turner Change your name to Kill Joy

[@vanturner2469]

Scot Foley honesty bother you? you think all guys cheat, but women do not? pull your head out and take a breath

[@aponipedro8304]

it's the girls perspective bro. you make your own video to share yours

[@WatchaPinasTV]

Insightful video and thanks for sharing your experiences. I am the opposite of the Filipino guy mentioned by Ave except for the "family oriented" part. I love my family or my wife's side of the family to come over and stay with us for a visit. It is a precious time that me and my wife always cherish. We even offer our bedroom to them and me and my wife sleep in the living room. I think everybody's different.

[@Suitstoshorts]

very true, there are always different sides to every coin. Thanks so much for sharing that. :)

[@PhiloM]

Great points made I got frustrated a little bit when I was home with my fiance because her relatives just show up and spend the day without calling first it seems like there was always someone around that we had to feed or entertain. It just more fun in the Phil's.

[@Suitstoshorts]

Yeah, there is never a short on visiting relatives :) It's a big adjustment.

[@rtec6106]

I can attest to this. Being a Filipino, I find it rude when my relatives wouldn't even bother to call when they're gonna visit. What if i'm going somewhere? Or i cant even entertain visitors?

[@rtec6106]

Philo in the Philippines You tell them to give you a call or text before they visit..

[@versacejeans9327]

Philo in the Philippines free meal

[@mikeswartz7871]

Lol. No way on God's green earth would I ever tolerate that LOL

[@kenchrispens4023]

Abby did an excellent job of explaining the differences and what to expect!.Her English is very good also...good video,maybe the best I've seen on that topic.

[@walterbrown664]

Great insight from Ave. I have been married to my filipina wife for 23 and learned all these things over the years. It been an adventure and I would not change a thing. You guys appear to be a great couple, just curious if you will "invite" your subscribers to your wedding (via KZbin of course). I know, you are not engaged yet, but Chad.....don't let her get away.

[@Suitstoshorts]

he he, thanks so much Wally. Absolutely, if/when that day come you will all be invited. And for those who can't make I am sure we will post a vid on youtube, ha ha.

[@ThisisOurPhilippines]

She brought out some funny points that yes, I have noticed in our relationship as well. I find that even if I ask, sometimes Maly will not be forthcoming with what she is thinking. It can be very hard for someone like me who will speak their mind. This has also gotten me in the dog house as well. I have had to carefully choose what comments to make. Maly can get easily offended if I joke in the wrong manner with her. Things are taken very literally. All in all though, through 11 years of marriage, we have found ourselves happy and still going strong!

[@Suitstoshorts]

he he, it's a delicate dance that we all must perform :) I hope to make it to 11 years some day as well.

[@Kayfabe-226]

Suits to Shorts..Yeah Definitely always walking fine line because of cultural differences..

[@tropicshade]

Just passed 30 years... about half of that time spent in the dog house - I'm a slow learner (stubborn is more like it). I'm still learning though! lol

[@KOPPERSTATE]

Cagayan Valley Isabela and Beyond CABAGAN ISABELA OH YEAH...👍🏻

[@Suitstoshorts]

ha ha, yeah I am still learning when to just keep my mouth shut. Don't know if I will ever get that part down.

[@user-DrJoe-Future]

She gave very good insight and advice. It is good to hear what the Filipinas think and feel. Normally, it's all western guys doing all the talking and the spouse is shut out

[@Suitstoshorts]

ha ha, definitely the reverse for us. I can't get a word in around here. joking :) We thought it would be good to hear it from the source.

[@ltap9388]

Good video. Keep up the great topics! And enjoy!

[@Suitstoshorts]

Thanks Layne :)

[@michaelfirestone7440]

Communication is so important to both parties...♥

[@Suitstoshorts]

Very true Michael

[@TheFilipinaandCuban0911]

Very good analysis of both. I have been married with a Filipina for 30 years, so I am bias. Gracias and Salamat.

[@Suitstoshorts]

Thank you very much :)

[@joellouisalba]

Is there any experiences with Filipino American expats? I am one. I want to think I have the good points of both but I know I have the bad points too.

[@musichouse]

Chad what is the link for your business?

[@kwtravels9065]

Good points Chad! Ave's tough got a piercing. Can we see Ave's sister again?

[@Suitstoshorts]

Thanks Keith, sure... we can ask her to make a cameo again on the next vid. :)

[@docwelby4994]

Hi, haven't seen you two for a couple of months, I hope all is going well. I look forward to your return.

[@ophecoloma8243]

any new vlogs? i have not seen new vlog

[@smedley53]

Interesting video from you guys. The expectations of youth make my Filipina wife of 28 years smile with the wisdom of hindsight! Of course time have changed dramatically since we first met 32 years ago, in those days we had to have a chaperone on all our dates! Remember a good Filipina is a blessing, myself and 5 other friends married Filipinas best part of 30 years ago ,5 of the 6 couples are still married, must be some sort of a record. Good luck to both of you!

[@Suitstoshorts]

Wow that's great news Steve, congrats on your relationship. It's rare to hear such stories in this day and age. A chaperone? I am sure that was an adjustment for you during that time. Was it her parents or a friend?

[@smedley53]

Suits to Shorts It was her sister, or brother or sometimes both! I know families in the provinces, where the church still has a strong influence, who still frown on a young girl going out on a date by themselves . Our Philippine family were a bit taken aback by the frankness and independence of our now adult daughters, who were born and raised in Australia.

[@tropicshade]

You guys seemed to have dropped off the YT production channels... what happened?

[@JamesArkansas2386]

are yall still togther? Does he have a business there now? You haven't have any new post lately.

[@dsbeach1]

If you are not, why not keep your videos coming? This becomes a learning experience for many of us...what happened?

[@tourismclub2867]

I hope he is fine and doing good and hope they did not suck his blood there and got scammed !

[@MRDPG59]

7:08 one thing to remember for any woman is this.....a lot of times when a woman asks what are you thinking to the man and he answers "nothing" then leave it at that do not keep going on and on you must be thinking about something etc... .because men when they say they are thinking about "nothing" is exactly what is happening we men can really just blank out and think about nothing :) where as woman seem to always be thinking thinking and often make a bigger issue out of nothing from over thinking . ingat/amping everyone :)

[@randybatchelor1875]

Enjoyed the truth....2 thumbs up. Yuh nailed it.

[@richarddreher7904]

I see... It's very important to understand each other. Dating a Filipina I met at Pinaymatch and yes they are very caring and family-oriented. Also very sweet. Watching this video to learn more about pinays

[@joelb099]

It is now Feb 28, 2017 and chads last video was Dec 7, 2016....2 1/2 months ago...Wonder what happened to him and Ave?....Hope it's not splits vile ....but one never knows..

[@philippinesfunwithjlb7193]

great channel, had to sub!

[@williamlarson3623]

Ok, good advice, nice of you to explain these things. But honestly, I have reservations about ever wanting to go back there. But then again, I think about the Phils all the time, wanting to meet up with a filipina -- with or without kids, even settle down? I must be dreaming (?)

[@daveslife921]

Ave is so sweet I thought she made some very good points.

[@annmalak3013]

Hi guys you two looks like doing really well in vids. We've been in Puerto Princesa last June-July 2016 with my husband and were searching about how to go to Nagtabon beach and suddenly the next day we saw you two with little girl in Baywalk park heheh

[@johnwest360]

Nice one 👍. You nailed it. One of the best Fil Am couple! 👍👍 Mabuhay! From Manila 💓

[@TheCrabtreeLife]

Nice vlog, we wish you the best.

[@cayrick]

Very candid interview. Nice girl.

[@jpdavis6042]

Is she a former dancer? Tatt, athletic, now a piercing It's certainly not a negative, have dated several in PH. I have already paid her all of the usual compliments as to her beauty, poise and genuine nature. So let's get real about one thing, does she prefer a foreigner over a Pinoy. No need to equivocate, she knows by now and can just answer yes or no.

[@Suitstoshorts]

Thank JP, no ... never been a dancer. She hasn't dated a local in over 5 years so I think she has converted to the other side of the coin :)

[@johntoscano2342]

Do you have a website to talk to Filipinos like them Facebook or some like that can you text me some like that thank you

[@dragonworld2008]

I remember you started out on the high crime part of the Philippines Watching crime happen to an American a few steps away from you and made a path to stay any way even when it looked like you was not going to make it out . And later moved on to a better neighborhood .

[@grandadan]

LOL: Based on my own experience, filipinas are or act the same way you´re saying men act LOL

[@hikefishcook6796]

is the vacation over we wait for the next video

[@tampawakos]

is there any problems with the local men over your interracial marriage? For example do the local men get mad at foreigners for dating and marrying their women?

[@paulflanagan941]

Merry Christmas guys😀

[@anthonyvitanza1711]

How do I meet a Filipino woman

[@reydispo8914]

I'm a Filipino, I trust and respect my girlfriend. Please DO NOT GENERALIZED. Just an opinion.

[@dvabio]

It's not always about money. Also, consider the future if you marry. Will you live in the PI, the states or wherever? There are advantages and disadvantages to both and not everyone can deal with those issues. The old saying that you can take the girl out of the bar but you can't take the bar out of the girl is true but re-worded...you can take the girl out of the Philippines but you can't take the Philippines out of the girl or vice-versa. You can take the guy out of the states but you can't take the states out of the guy. If you are an American and you die in the PI, where do you want to be buried? Family plot back home? Same for the girl living in the states. This is just one issue we don't think about until it's too late.

[@guambroker]

nice videos.. but be honest that a BIG difference is the financial situation between foreigners and locals. I accept it and keep it in mind when dating Filipina.. it's OK to want a stable life.. i just watchout for the Filipina that wants to take advantage.. mostly city girls and ALL bargirls.. not for serious dating

[@Redhawk85]

Good video, and no need to over-explain that it is just from your own experience/not judgmental or stereotyping. Anyway - it's good to know. I've known many filipinas over the past 11 years or so and some things for foreigners to watch out for is getting scammed. I know this isn't directly your topic but wanted to share it. I think the part about filipino people is true from what she said, but I would emphasize because you are foreign (particularly Western) you will be thought to have money and hence subject to scamming. I am pretty good but they can be EXPERT at it, and it happened to me. Live and learn - fortunately I have met numerous filipinas who are considerate, honest and a lot of fun but always always watch out if you're looking for a relationship.

[@Redhawk85]

One fast red flag (even I would say the Jolly Roger flag) is if they start asking for money. When it is soon after you met, no-go instant. Good scammers will ask maybe only a little for a reasonable situation/believable story and will go on from there... BE PARTICULARLY careful if she needs money for an annulment... will quote you really high and could easily just take your money. Again. Happened to me.

[@jellegc6917]

hahaha i totally agree with u girl. but to be honest, for some reason i kinda missed filipino sweetness, caring and being family oriented. btw, i am married with the foreigner (French).

[@Suitstoshorts]

he he, yeah... I think there are always goods and bad side to everything.

[@edmhie1]

Les grandes pensées viennent du coeur.

[@1800dontcare]

My wife would ask me is it ok to go and hang with friends back home and home here in Australia and I am always saying it's not up to me it's your life go and enjoy yourself have a great time have fun ill ask the usual who with etc but not to be a controlling person but so I am aware of what is going on in case something goes bad etc as she doesn't live here permanently yet however I trust her judgment and know she will take care of herself etc. I love that my wife is making all new friends here in Australia and having a great time hanging with them. I was involved in an accident at work and she has done so much for me taking care of me I want her to enjoy and have fun as well.

[@sethhenson1320]

do you guys have a facebook page? My filipino wife and i love the video blogs. We have a small farm in palawan and my wife is from there. I have stayed in palawan for 16 months over the last five years. We live in Tennessee but are hoping someday soon to move to palawan

[@commenthero4635]

Seth Henson, my wife and I are going to Palawan in April. do you have any advice on accommodations in El Nido? I am trying to make plans. I was going to ask Chad about it but he disappeared

[@bobmason9332]

I really admire a Filipina's skin. The color, the texture and the look. An American often needs cosmetic help. Some of us need tattoes (spelling?) and piercings. A Filipina doesn't

[@offhamsterwheel2789]

when Ave think of an 'Expat', does she / Filipina think of a 'white guy'?

[@karl5536]

Sorry it's Miles n Karl Nakonechy .thanks for guys. I'm American married to a phillipine woman. Love her to pieces.

[@RK-kj8di]

I met a Filipina online; visited her and her family a few times. I then sold my lake front house in the USA and moved to Manila. I bought a new house in Laguna Bel Air III and lived with her entire family in the new house. I invested in many businesses for the family (3 jeepneys, sari-sari store, internet cafe and a loan business). I lived in Sta Rosa for 18 Months and then I needed to go back to the USA to file personal income taxes and other personal business. While I was gone my wife went to the bank and emptied the account. Joy went on 'vacation' with all of the money I had left in our CitiBank account. My wife had a good time with her boyfriend in the Philippines while I was in the USA. I forgave my wife and worked on her immigration papers to live in the USA. My wife came to the USA with a green card and six Months later she left me one final time wanting a divorce. While I was in the away from our bedroom, my now ex-wife wrote down all of the credit card information and tried to use my credit cards while she was in the Philippines visiting family. My ex-wife admits to three different extramarital affairs (only because I saw pictures of her with these men). Joy’s bff, told me it was more like 12 different guys over the six year marriage. My ex-wife had a heart murmur and could not breathe well; thanks to me and my money, she had surgery and is healthy now and living in the USA. I wasted well over $200,000 USD on her. The house in Laguna Bel Air III is now for sale….

[@NYJGreatness]

Thats a crazy story. My question to you is why did you bring her to the US after what she did to you? There were way too many red flags from the get-go.

[@RK-kj8di]

Because I loved her and still do.

[@WengStansWorld]

Checking on me all the time ? I don't mind at all ! I understand that Filipinas, once she chooses a man...THAT IS IT ! They are very emotional and they invest themselves in you....She CARES ! I Work in a bottling plant and always bumping into things...ducking under conveyors...there's metal everywhere....rail brackets...etc...I get bumps, bruises, and scrapes...and she gets concerned for me.....she wants to be active in every part of your life....if you don't like the clingy woman...stay away from a Filipina....I happen to just love her clinginess....as well as her jealousy...it flatters me that she is that way....

[@southbound1969]

Sure, the Pinoy is family oriented...until he gets her pregnant then is gone faster than a Hillary Clinton email.

Only the girls are

[@sarinvx]

This girl is gorgeous. I love her dark skin.

[@lumiesoucek3478]

The reasons for Filipinas change of heart are: badly broken hearted with Filipino, economic reason and racial changes.

[@luzvimindabundok7393]

That was painful to hear and follow. There is a difference: 1) The one in a "shacking up relationship" 2) still "in a courtship stage". When you are in a sexual relationship, regardless of race, there is an assumption of "ownership". When it is not sexual there is a lot of respect for one another; no one seems to impose values on the other. I was born and raise in the Philippines. I live in the US now but I do go back and forth to the P.I. for work. I notice more and more that the Pinays that are in a "shacking-up" relationship with a foreigner are almost always less educated and impoverish. They are in a care-giver role. Pinays that are shacking up with "kapwa" Filipino are treated like they own them regardless of the economic status. But less happening to a careered Filipina.

[@geoffreydavis6700]

Ave & Chad good video and good points especially about when they turn up unexpectedly which did annoy me a little when we were at my wife nanay house put I understood it the Filipino way When I went to Palawan with my wife to get married her mum & family were friendly & nice and asked a lot of questions about how we meet how long we know each other how long we been dating put they made me feel welcome to there family and when my wife meet my family they made her feel welcome too which was good Chad & Ave me and my wife will be in Palawan in May 2017 & be nice if we good meet you guys if ur free & not busy

[@vareseources]

Recently, I am seeing a lot of videos about "Filipino women " or "Filipinas" dating foreign guys from both local and expat vloggers and I think as a local guy, I should comment. First of all, what kind of "Filipino women" are we talking about here? There are basically 3 major groups of Filipinas. 1. Highly-successful Filipinas that include licensed professionals in top management jobs, and successful business owners and entrepreneurs. They share a small percentage of the entire single Filipina population. This group will never date or marry an old expat who is living off his pension. You see the reason why. 2. Working Filipinas. These women have decent jobs like regular jobs in manufacturing, hospitality, government, and other private sectors. These women can support themselves financially. I've been working with Filipinas in their early 20s to middle 30' for more than two decades now and I can say 100% that no one of my current 65 young female subordinates would date a 60-year-old expat who is living off his pension. This group is the happiest group of women. Here in Luzon, they comprise more than 70% of the single Filipina population (excluding students), and more than 60% of single female college graduates in Bacolod, Cebu, and Iloilo. 3. And then we have the third group. Single moms, jobless, and uneducated. Now, because of their given financial and economic condition, I say 9 out of 10 of them will likely date a 60-year-old expat. There is also a very small percentage of the single Filipina population who fall in this category. Let's add call center agents who are tired and exhausted from their jobs. Since they are exposed to foreigners, there is also a possibility that they would date an old expat. Why I am explaining this? Because whenever a vlogger mentions "Filipina", we should not generalize all Filipinas. People who date foreign old expats are not the embodiment of the whole single Filipina population. Let's be real. This may sound offensive but the only reason a Filipina would date an old expat is that they want to survive. There's nothing wrong with this as long as the Filipina is not scamming her partner. Again "Filipinas" mentioned by these vloggers (local or foreign vloggers) are not the embodiment of the whole single Filipina population.

[@jpdavis6042]

Hi Chad...What happen?

[@joseopao]

How about Filipino foreigners?

[@joiceladison7255]

Your very right about pinoys,but those are not bad ,to ask the bf where he's going or bla bala blahh,that's showing only that u care and u loved that person .

[@waeldahl9581]

weird u hate the Extra care that a guy willing to give..if i give much care never means i'm close minded ..if i do countless calls and texts means i dame love you....Come sweet girl , give me fuckin break...then care..jelousy means true and serious love..how come on u consider it bad thing in the realtion...

[@riskfactor3171]

The pointing at her belly at the beginning...thought maybe you were going to be making a special announcement...

[@ahmernc]

plz plz plz dont take me wrong because its funny .. with glasses she looks like "Mia Khalifa "

[@vls8646]

ahmer naveed 😂😂😂😂

[@bobmason9332]

When I hear that Filipinas are very family centered implying that expats are not. The way I look at it is that as an American I am very family oriented. We just define a family differently. A filipino family is very expanded. Filipina's mother, father, brothers, sisters. cousins and add ons. An American family is father, mother and children

[@juliustiangson2668]

Bob Mason.....let me clear this family thing for you.....I am Filipino American.....White American's kick their kids out of the house at 18 years old wither if they are economically able or not and the "White kids" put their parents into "nursing home" when they are deemed a burden to the "kids".......Filipino parents do not kick their kids out of the house....they support them until they are "fit to leave the house" and the Filipino kids does not even "cross their mind" to stick their parents into "nursing homes" when they get old....it is "automatic and a must" that the kids must take care of the "parents' wither they are a burden or not........so that is your difference......and yes that is why we are Filipino's because our family "values" is much deeper than the "white people" who is more "super fake"......when it come to family.....ask an "average" White American if they know who their 1st cousins are or their second cousins....and this is what you get..????????????? aaaaaaaahhhhhh I don't know????????????? and that's the truth.....

[@girlylove7557]

Filipinas yeah right family oriented my question is the most important where's your daughter's father if they are so family oriented do you know where he's at and how much money he gives for his daughter I think that is the biggest difference between Filipino guys an American white guys American stay and take care of their kids.

[@MichaelSmith-cl1uo]

Starts to finally answer the question at 2:¹⁵

[@versacejeans9327]

Not really there are some tightwad Westerners too. Filipino's are great spenders when they got plenty of money.

nobody has more locks than a thief. if the guy watches his girlfriend that closely, he needs watching.

[@douglong1314]

family oriented huh. most important fact you forgot , where is the father of your daughter? white american men raise and pay for their kids it is very common for filipino guys to leave their girlfriend when she gets pregnant!. you are very lucky to have that guy to raise your daughter! i will not date girls with kids. too many beautiful filipinas with no kids.

Did she date a real expat professional with a solid job and benefits or just some jokers trying to make money w/ videos?

[@zagzag8168]

blah blah blah. difference is filipino for the most part don't have money. foreigner has money. end of story no need to to go into details. you should be suspicious of a pinay that goes after foreigners only

[@zagzag8168]

lets not make it about race superiority or anything like that 'I'. all i'm saying is don't beat around the bush and give example after example of why a pinay would prefer to go after a foreigner, 9 out of 10 times is money. one more thing to you foreigner, if your going to the Philippines for the purpose of buying your wife/gf why do you always choose the yaya/ squatter looking pinay. ? lol easier to control the poor and uneducated

[@missuptonogood3655]

xbob xbob Bohoo! Did you get jilted by your pinay gf to a 70-yr old balding white male that's why you're so bitter? It's ok dude, Filipinos aren't everybody's cup of tea even for a Filipina.

[@zagzag8168]

lol an educated and financially stable woman would have no need for a 70yr old balding white male. lol so no, im not jilted or bitter but nice try.

i love my pinay wife, but i know, and so do most of you, know the truth of their drama. oh so much drama, world champs of it. aside from that, they just like any other people around the world, give and take such and such stuff. you got to avoid the drama though, or you will be miserable as long as you are with her. if its not her drama, its her family's or her friend's. they love it, they crave it. they would even kill for it, its their addiction drug of choice. they love their poison/drama. take it away and they rather die, they live for it. north american women expect to be queens and princesses, to be put on a pedestal. pinays expect to play the drama game. its mostly a make believe story they live out in their imagination that has little to do with reality. resembles reality but twisted here and there to deviate from the path of the real truth. if you go to far down that path, you are lost forever and will have to lobotomise yourself to keep her, or challenge her to bring her back to reality. if they love the drama to much, you will lose her and you humiliated her by calling out her game. got to know how to spar without battles or you will suffer and lose. just leave her if you dont know what you are doing. and dont pretend you do if you dont know their culture like you know your math cuz they will beat you down with experience. their drama math is not of any other world on this planet. they have already aced it while you are not even a C- yet. if you know what you are doing and can keep them on the right path, she will be ok. dont let them get lost in their own drama world. not easy tho. dont kid yourself when you find a nice pinay that seems drama free but likes to go out all the time, party party party. friends friends friends. wrong. they love the atmosphere, not the people. they dont have friends, they are only there to party. if you dont show up for the party, you are nothing. if you show up for the party, you are still nothing but a face in the crowd and they love the crowd. the bigger the better. this type dont count friends, they count faces, only. fb lists in the hundreds or even thousands, all strangers. dont know anything about any of them. careful if they never have an opinion. if you can get your woman to talk to you in a conversation, thats a rare thing for a pinay. "im just listening" they always say. to what? i stopped talking five minutes ago! most of the time its cuz they have low self esteem, insecure or shy. they are not really taught to interact [other than joining the party] they mostly just go along with the flow. thats not all bad, most mean no harm by it, the rest just dont care and are just along for the free ride in between the parties. hope that helps. what to look out for, good and/or bad. good luck but use more skill to have good fortune.
