I make a distinction between the old retirees who come to date young Filipinas and those usually younger men who are dating women their age. Philippines has a binary society - the rich and poor divide is quite large. The line between the classes is very noticeable - in income, in education, in language, in lifestyle, and in culture. The old retirees are generally relying on their economic advantage. Many of them care more about having a young pretty thing who is going to be a traditional wife who will take care of them - cooking, cleaning, kids, while they take care of finances. The women who seek these roles are generally looking to move up in society for themselves and family. Young foreign men generally do not have a pension. Economics is not as big of a role other than that they are immediately placed the upper class. Compatibility is more important for them and for the Filipinas they date. Generally, the girls that they are more compatible are rich or middle class and college educated. Those Filipinas are not looking to move up in society since they already come from well off families and their circle of friends are generally the same.

New subscriber here. I like this new (well for me it's new) way of showing a country to the world. Usually, it's more about superficial things like food, language, dating, exchange rates, etc. But you've tackled on a deeper topic that makes me think and reflect. I definitely like this, and I hope to see more of this type of video.

that's definitely your POV. Your reality is not the reality of many Filipinos. the reason why these foreign influencers visiting the PH are getting more views, music reactors getting more views when reacting to Morisette and many Filipino content is definitely that. Go through these videos' comment sections and the Filipinos seeking validation from foreigners is evident and then come back here and tell me that Filipinos don't think highly of foreigners.

this is such a cool take/perspective.

See in girl mentality she still think being white is outstanding among us. That is totally wrong mindsets, this kind of mentality is a white supremacy, white people think they are the best people of race God created. In Philippines you should set aside this kind of garbage mentality because we have called bayanihan spirit meaning helping one another in need, do not under estimate Filipino bayanihan spirit, once you are in need Filipino will first to help you.i give you one example of foreign girl who adopt Filipino cultures. Island barbie of siargao, Filipino treat her like one of them and she is very happy and develop friendship with her, she become instant celebrity in Philippines and we support her.

Some foreigners are discriminate filipinos. We are most of the time misunderstood by foreigners but try to ge a Filipino friends even their house will open to you to stay. Foreigners attitudes and pride sometimes stopping them from developing friendships with locals Filipino, Filipinos generally shy to open up conversations. I suggest just to be friendly approach the locals remove your racial discrimination, remove the pride be universal citizens of the world, I guarantee you foreigners Filipino will support you. Filipino will love you. In Philippines we are all equal, no whites, black, chines, Koreans or Japanese, enjoy being citizens of the world. Welcome you all to my underrated Philippines
