You’re going to love it here. But spend a little traveling until you find a place you feel comfortable. So many places I would feel comfortable living in the Philippines. We picked Dumaguete cuz it’s near RAZELs parents and it has a seaport and an airport so we can get in and out of the country. I still travel back to USA often.

Hello Sam, I was just there in Manila. Stayed in The Manila Hotel night before I flew back to U.S. You nailed it. I don't have any interest in an American woman anymore. I was in Philippines for 2 weeks visiting and exploring Cebu and Dumaguete. Still hoping to find a sweet Filipina. It's hard when you only have a few weeks of vacation a year to try and make it happen. Thanks!

You’ll find her, Eric. It’s going to be tough if you’re only staying here for two weeks. Just like any real relationship it’s going to take time..look at all the avenues for find that special someone..don’t limit yourself to just being here, or online there are many ways..stay in touch..

I feel here in the USA women don't have any respect for the efforts a man goes to to be a great provider. I've been dating since I was 18 and not once did I get a thank you for anything and that's why 90% of the time I've broken it off with these women. I built myself up from an extream end of poverty and in doing so I look at my options here and they don't look appetizing after all the struggle I went threw to build what I have now. So yes if the philippines is a place with respectful women that actually care then I'm definitely going there. Great video Sam always enjoy your content. Still praying for Razel and family God bless yall.

It's true, western women are insufferable. The vast majority of the expats are retired on a fixed income so affordability would be #1. Second, for Canadians and northern Europeans would be weather. Third, would be the women. And the Philippines would be #1 on this list because of the age gap allowance. Fourth, would be because of the Philippines tourist visa of 3 years. The Philippines would be 5th-6th on the list but permanent resident visa is expensive and difficult to get in many countries. Fifth, would be English is widely spoken. I have permanent resident visa in Mexico but Mexico is getting expensive so Mexico only has 1 or 2 of the 5 things I listed below. I'm a single 55 years old and could be heading to the Philippines sooner than later.

I saw a KZread video of a retired lady somewhere around Phoenix USA. She makes $1200 SS and pays $1000 rent. She literally has to beg for most of the month to survive. In the Philippines she could live ez. Yes I know it’s more difficult for women to move to a foreign country

Cost of living doesn’t discriminate. I’m not sure if it’s more difficult for American women to live in the Philippines…or move to a foreign country…are you saying their lifestyle will be difficult? Whatever the SS a woman receive is pretty much what a man receives if they both work at similar jobs, pay, and times of service, right?

Most of them are retired, and have income that some of them just enough to survive here in the US and if they go to the philippines the have the chance to be happy and thier money goes a long way. just emagine the rent here is USA plus the basic bills i would say 1 person 1.5k usd is for rent and basic bills only not including food and what ever that makes you happy

Hi Sam good video on the topic of men going to 3rd world countries to find love. I was one of those people but came to realize that true love is to love yourself forget trying to find love from other people as 99% of the time it doesn't work through my experience. Even if you find love from a person the love is not for ever its only temporary. Just look at all the divorces and break up relationships in the world loads of single mothers out there, Many cheating and betrayal relationships. In the old days women in western countries almost had no rights she was a slave to her husband now days its reversed, women have their own independents, their own money can make their own decisions and like you said they have been spoiled for choice because of the reasons I mentioned above making them rude and disrespectful women as a result. Forget the women and relationships if you want women just buy one for the night. I think high class hookers every week would be better in the long term they treat you like a king when you pay for their time. You don't want a temporary girl friend/wife taking half of your possessions that you worked your whole life for.
