Thanks for watching and commenting Richard. We just ravel and share what we learn. We were both singel and doing online dating when we met. We met on Tinder in Kuala Lumpur in 2016. Check out out video on that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0wrTAs0R3VA.html

@VagabondAwake 2 года назад
Good idea. Another great idea about not putting your profile up until you are actually in a town, is that if you are communicating with someone that is not sincere, they won't be willing to meet with you. They are looking for people outside the country to get them to send money. If they ask you for money, they have no excuse to not meet you.

Before you get serious with a woman you have to know if she is already been married. There is an adultery law in the Philippines. If her husband files against you, both of you could end up in jail or be extorted. Check the law. She can get a CENOMAR - certificate of no marriage for ~$5.00

Dan you hit the nail on the head. It’s definitely a numbers game. What men need to realize is that online dating sites (apps) women get bombarded by men. Some Women get hundreds of hits (messages) a day. Men are Lust Magnet’s and we love a beautiful face. So by saying that, the Man’s introduction needs to be eye catching and creative. Not some canned line. That doesn’t get it. Qiang nailed it as well. Most Women are experts at Photoshopping or Filtering Photos. You’ll meet a woman and she’ll age 10 years in 1 second.

Good information from both of you, Thanks! Dating a married Fillipina can be a problem. The husband can go after you legally for having relations with his wife. Annullment is lengthy, expensive and may not have a positive outcome. You can do a records check to see if she is married, but only with her permission. There have be times when the husbands will blackmail someone dating his wife if he finds out about it. There have been cases of husbands finding someone in bed with his wife and killing them with no legal penalty. I think it is called act of passion, or something like that, which is a legal defense there. A new thing I have heard is that the Phillipines will recognize I divorce if the marriage was in a country that allows one. I am not an expert on this just someone who has been learning about such things on good video presentations, like this one. (and I am not seriously looking for a wife LOL. Just may visit the Phillipines some day.)

It's called "saving face". The wife has disgraced the family name. Little or no punishment is done. Yelling at girlfriend/wife or in-law in pubic, can also get you hurt or killed with little or no punishment. If you can't control your anger, I suggest than you seriously reconsider coming here for your own safety.

I read online that dating is not enough, you have to have sex. So, I would meet for coffee only until I had proof she was not legally married. But background check would not be enough to make me feel safe. I would want the government document. pcw.gov.ph/repeal-of-rpc-provisions-on-adultery-and-concubinage/

There is no divorce in the Philippines but there is annulment. Annulment costs thousands of dollars and takes years to complete if you can ever get the annulment approved at all. If you commit yourself to a married woman in the Philippines, the husband can ask the police to file charges against you and you can be sent to jail. This gives the husband leverage to blackmail you for money. You don't have to run a background check on your Filipina, just ask her to provide to you a card showing she is not married. This is commonly issued by the Goverment in the Philippines and only cost something like 4 dollars. If she won't do this for you then you probably have your answer. The document is call a "cenomar".
@VagabondAwake
@VagabondAwake 2 года назад
Scott Murdocka, I do not know the Philippines law, but I read online that adultery requires having sex with a married person. Two thoughts come to mind. I may have coffee with 10 different women before I find one attractive enough to meet for an actual date. I would not do a background check just to have coffee. But I would make sure I wasn't committing adultery before I took it to the next level. Like you mentioned, I would require a Certificate of No Marriage Record (CENOMAR) is simply what its name implies. It is a certification issued by the PSA stating that a person has not contracted any marriage. Also called a certificate of No Record of Marriage or Certificate of Singleness. That is a government document saying they are not married. That is what I would want, not a background check. If the background check has her name wrong or something and it turns out she is married ... that is not good enough. Thanks for asking. Dan

One thing I would add to those looking to meet someone online; if you're using a dating website don't embellish your profile meaning don't photo shop your pics and don't sugar-coat your age, occupation, or your past. First impressions are everything so make the best of who you are and don't come off as a fraud. He or she will always remember that first meeting.

Have a relationship with a married person and you are taking a big risk because adultery is considered a crime punishable by a prison term. Here's what the law (Philippines Family Code) says: Adultery is punishable by imprisonment of Prision Correcional in its medium and maximum period ( range of 2 years, 4 months, and 1 day to 6 years imprisonment). Both your wife and her paramour shall be subjected to such punishment if found guilty. So, be careful!!! Thanks again for sharing your observations.....

@@VagabondAwake Hi Folks, I hope all is well. Yes, that is also my understanding. Adultery can only be committed by a wife. You would think that the revised penal code would have rectified that inequity. But, it didn't. So, for foreign men, dating a Filipina - who is still legally married - can obviously be a serious risk. And, the Filipina can also lose certain rights concerning her children. We should be very careful not to harm or exploit them in any way. JMO. :)

I think Qiang is right, I heard there is no divorce but there can be special annulments of marriage in Phil but very uncertain and costly if the person can even establish a basis to get one. It seems this is a civil matter under law and not just about RC edicts. You might have to shop around for the right judge to allow annulment. I heard Filipinos can get a 'not-married' certificate to allow them to then get married. I know a woman living in US was married in Phil but later got divorced in US. I really wonder what her status is vis eligibility for marriage in Phil i.e. does Philippines still consider her married? If I married her in US, I wonder what would Philippines recognition be?

I think adultery requires more than having coffee with someone. I think you have to do the dirty with them. Since I don't want to be a downer before I even see if I am interested in someone, I would continue to wait until there is mutual attraction before asking for prof of marital status. I would wait until after the coffee to bring up the subject.

You might be surprised Brett, there is a pretty good chance she has done a background check on you. Filipina's can be extremely snoopy to the point of being invasive. Please don't take this wrong, I know and have met a lot of extremely nice women there. Probably a higher percentage than here in the USA. But Prying snoops and scammers are also prevalent over there. Daniel B is correct. You need to accept the Culture, and learn to love the Woman within its confines. On line you don't get to understand her situation. In fact a lot of Filipina's try to avoid letting you see how they live. Even the poorest in America live better than a huge proportion of Filipinas. I met a lady 5 years ago, very classy, very bright. I knew a lot about her before I came over there to meet her. She was a street vender, worked very hard didn't make very much money, but managed to raise 3 kids all honors students. I knew her house was small, and it looked like it was decorated in early American hand me down. Fast forward to my first trip to meet her. She planned everything about the trip to avoid taking me home... Partly because Filipina's with kids tend to be very protective of those kids. But also because she was embarrassed to show me where she lived. Unfortunately, as the saying goes the best laid plans go bye bye fast when the unexpected occurs. In my case I got a small injury heading to the airport, but after 24 hours in planes and transfers, plus an 8 hour Waite for a room. My small injury had grown into a severe wound. We got checked into the Hotel, another BIG taboo crossed there, quite accidentally. and she got me off my feet to examine the problem. she almost lost her cookies, my foot was by this time a bloody pulp. she ran to the drug store got bandages and cleaning solution, and decided I needed more help than she could provide on her own, so she called her mother to ask for help, mother told her to bring me to the house if it was as bad as she said it was. It was. so we hopped on a tricycle and headed about a mile across town through some of the roughest looking neighborhoods I had ever seen. Hung a right at the Mormon temple, a left at the four square church then went rolling down this alley of corrugated steel houses, in various shades of decay. the Trike finally stopped in front of this tiny store with a big cigarette sign on the roof. she helped me off the Trike, down this path beside the store, the stores awnings were wider than the path. she warned me watch your way, puddles are bad for your foot, and sheet mettle might cut your head off. She was right on both counts. We angled back down this winding path about a block and a half only to stop at this Cyclone fence about 6 feet wide and rolled razor wire on top. There was a padlocked gate with a heavy chain that she unlatched. what laid ahead could basically be described as a sidewalk with a steel roof over it the property widened from about 6 feet to 9 feet wide there were a row of coffee cans on the left with herbs growing in them. I had to duck to get under the steel roof. there was a burned out Palm Tree trunk that served as the main structure supporting the roof. On the left was a water spigot. On the right a sink and a little hand built table. the walls were built out of old cargo pallets There was a room that would make old-fashioned outhouses look stylish in comparison, they call them Comfort Rooms, no lights in it. next to that was her dining room, with a picnic table she said her mom built by hand. Its view was the rusting roof of her next door neighbor. The corrugate panels literally ran to her windows sill, when heavy rains fell it would become a waterfall into her house. On the left side of the walk way was a small room with a door on it. inside she had a 3 legged desk she ran her business from. and a hand made bookshelf, filled with her children's achievements. There was about a 30" gap between the top of the office and the tin roof. that's where the family slept and on this evening the girls were hiding. She and her mother laid me out on the picnic table. It seriously was the only space in the house big enough for me to lay down. they made a poultice, and disinfected a couple bandages. They deep cleaned the wound, it hurt like heck. But by the time, they finished, I had learned more about this woman in one hour than I had in a year of chatting with her ...and yes. she is still a very important part of my life 5 years later. Oh as for the Big Taboo... in the Philippines, at least in this town all the hotels automatically charged double occupancy rate... so when I got there and began checking in, I asked the desk clerk if I could get her a spare key, she was going to be coming and going during my stay. They said No Sir, only registered guests. Being the Bull headed American I am I said ok, in that case, I turned to tell her come over and register. but she was hiding off in a shadowed corner. It surprised me. But I called for her to come over anyway. when she came I told her to sign in, I needed two get her a key... she really didn't want to do that. But I more or less forced her. I told her she didn't have to stay, I just wanted her to have access on her own. She dutifully signed in and got the key. When we got in the room. door closed behind us, she looked at me with a fire in her eyes I had only seen once before. She told me in no uncertain terms, never to do anything like that again. Why I asked. She replied, Now everyone at that desk thinks I am your hooker. I am NOT! I apologized immediately.

I think it was a pretty reasonable video in general terms, but your suggestions were overlooked by every commenter who found fault with the divorce bit. So many women want to get married and have kids young in Philippines, maybe family pressure, no wonder the extreme expat age gaps. I suggest you make new videos later, a series, that are country focused, start with "Finding a beautiful woman in Malaysia". You know you will get high viewership, because men dream, and some actually are serious. Interview some women too. There are many cultural differences in countries, and you have good experience. Vietnam has a reputation of being difficult for expats to meet women, it isn't Philippines or Thailand, but I see couples regularly at least in expat neighborhoods.

Mark Meenaghan, I do not know the Philippines law, but I read online that adultery requires having sex with a married person. Two thoughts come to mind. I may have coffee with 10 different women before I find one attractive enough to meet for an actual date. I would not do a background check just to have coffee. But I would make sure I wasn't committing adultery before I took it to the next level. A would require a Certificate of No Marriage Record (CENOMAR) is simply what its name implies. It is a certification issued by the PSA stating that a person has not contracted any marriage. Also called a certificate of No Record of Marriage or Certificate of Singleness. That is a government document saying they are not married. That is what I would want, not a background check. If the background check has her name wrong or something and it turns out she is married ... that is not good enough. Thanks for asking. Dan

I stay away from fried foods, at least half my diet is uncooked fruits and vegetables, at least half my meals are eaten at home where I can control quality, I stay away from sugar, fats, and I am a low carb vegetarian. Plus, I introduce healthy flora into my diet whenever possible like sugar free Greek yogurts, and I eat probiotics whenever they are not otherwise available in my diets. But I also live my life. I cheat whenever I feel like it, except for meat, after 40 years a vegetarian, meat isn't even slightly interesting to me anymore. Cheating would be like white sugar, white bread, a donut, ice cream, stuff like that. Once a week or so. Whenever I eat antibiotics for any reason, I supplement with probiotics.

Dan, I think Brett (the subscriber) has a valid reason for verifying that the woman is not married. The Filipino husband could have a violent confrontation with him. If the police were called, Brett would be the one most likely to end up the loser in that situation because of the “no divorce” law. The unscrupulous husband could try to extort money to keep from getting the authorities involved. I love your channels😀. Keep up the good work.

True enough but I think what Dan is trying to say is that "Brett" is, as he says; "putting the cart before the horse." There are several steps that should be gone through first before doing any background check. Brett appears to have never even met this person. So perhaps it would be as well to get to know this person first before doing anything like that.

Great thoughts guys. Yes, I would wait until after having coffee with her before doing a background check. That is for obvious reasons. I would not want to do background checks on 20 different women before I meet them for coffee. First, it is too expensive, second, I think you are asking for sensitive information that could be used to steal identity before she has even met you. If she is smart, she will say no thanks. Keep your cup of coffee. :-) Thanks for commenting guys, Dan

I spent five years living in Dubai and dated a number of Filipina and Thai women, as well as travelled around Asia. I think expat Asian women are quite different to what you find in Asia. It is probably the more outgoing and adventurous ones who leave to work overseas, but also a lot of expat Asian women will take a job at Mcdonalds in Dubai hoping to find a rich western husband to get their hooks in. The ones who have good jobs and are a bit more financially secure are just easier to be with.

Vegabond, you are making a big mistake if you don't care about the girl being married or not in the Philippines. It was big news a few years ago when a British man got jailed because he was dating a married woman in the Philippines. The woman got pregnant. It is a felony in the Philippines to date (sexual relations) with a married woman, and you can be jailed for it if someone presses charges. The Philippines is different in this regard from most other countries. (I am not giving legal advice. Just sharing what I have read.) -Nils
@VagabondAwake
@VagabondAwake 2 года назад
Thanks for sharing. I did not say I don't care if a woman is married. I am saying I would not do a background check before I met her for coffee. Adultery does not occur when you are in a public place having coffee with a married person. It requires bumping happy parts. If I am online dating, I might meet 10 woman for coffee before I find one that I am sincerely interested in. That is when I would want proof she hasn't been married before. A Certificate of No Marriage Record (CENOMAR) is simply what its name implies. It is a certification issued by the PSA stating that a person has not contracted any marriage. Also called a certificate of No Record of Marriage or Certificate of Singleness.

@@VagabondAwake It's the "Bible of the Red Pill" if that gives you any idea! Tomassi takes an "evolutionary biology" approach to relationships and while he doesn't really have a lot of data to back up his ideas, there have been studies indicating they have some validity. Many feminists object to Tomassi because he says that feminism has encouraged women to pursue relationships as if they're men, and that just doesn't work for them. There's a documentary by a feminist (Cassie Jaye) called The Red Pill that she intended to debunk the "men's rights movement" and she ended up having sympathy for men (she's now "cancelled" in the feminist movement). There's a fair summary of Tomassi's ideas here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vblot9RiULI.html&ab_channel=OnePercentBetter This isn't an endorsement of any of these ideas, but you asked!

Vagabond you both are wrong about doing a back ground check on the person you are interested in before meeting them. there in philippines if you get cought going out with some one that is married you can and will go to jail so you need to know before meeting them they are in fact single if not drop them like a hot potato before you end up in jail. worst that can happen is you get your self into being blackmailed by the other spousal for money. even if you pay the blackmail that will not stop them going to the police in the frist place and still end up going to jail anyways. so what you siad about wasting time and money doing a back ground check is all BS.
