Why So Many Men Have Given Up on Dating? Every Man Has a Story 

Mark, this is one of the best videos/summary on the current dating situation in America that I have seen. It covers all aspects (online, work/HR risks, politics, etc.)

After my divorce from my American spouse, a female coworker asked me whatever will I do now, having nothing to offer a woman? Long story short, been in Bohol 15 years with a wife and two great kids. Much happier.😊

I’m 52 in the USA 🇺🇸 I have a great job , I own a house two blocks from the beach , and I’m a responsible nice guy ! Dating here in the USA is over for me ! And honestly life is hell here ! Basically work and sleep ! So I jumped on a plane ✈️ and it opened my eyes . I met a beautiful wonderful person in the Philippines 🇵🇭 On our first outing to Kawasan Falls she says to me “ It’s my honor to be with you “! I felt like someone punched me in my chest ! Just the care and pure hearts of Filipinos in general changed my life and made me realize I don’t have to die alone in the USA a place I no longer want to be ! I did not go to the Philippines 🇵🇭 for a relationship I went to try to find a different way of life ! I found it ! I will move to the Philippines 🇵🇭 as soon as possible !

I've been living in Thailand for 2 years and will move to the Philippines next week. I met a Filipina Nanny in Bangkok and I find her much easier to understand and relate to than my past Thai girlfriends. The cultural differences are much easier to understand. This is only my personal opinion and I happen to have great respect for Thai women but I prefer Philippine women. I enjoy your videos and find them interesting and entertaining. Thanks... P

Good video. The challenge for dating in the USA is firstly if you’re not attracted to overweight women, there goes 50% of your dating pool. Then it’s so politically divided, a lot of people won’t date someone from the other side of the political divide so there goes another 50% of the remaining pool and so on. So one’s options can be pretty slim..even for a guy in great shape making six figures, at 5’ 10” it’s still a bit of a nightmare.

Once upon a time, there was an adventurous American named Bob who decided to embark on a journey to the Philippines in search of love. Bob was convinced that he would have better luck finding a girlfriend there since he hadn’t been very fortunate in the dating scene back home. Excited and full of hope, Bob arrived in the bustling city of Manila. He quickly realized that the cultural differences were more significant than he had anticipated. Undeterred, Bob dove headfirst into the vibrant Filipino culture, determined to find his perfect match. Bob’s first challenge was getting accustomed to the local cuisine. Being used to American fast food, he was in for a surprise when he ordered a popular Filipino dish called “balut” without knowing what it was. To his shock, Bob found himself staring at a boiled duck embryo. It took all of his courage to try a bite, but he soon discovered that it wasn’t as bad as it seemed, and it became an amusing tale he would later share with his friends. As Bob continued his quest for love, he attended various social gatherings and events, trying to meet new people. He was always full of enthusiasm, even when faced with language barriers. However, his attempts at speaking Filipino often resulted in unintentional humor. Instead of saying “Salamat po” (Thank you), Bob would accidentally exclaim “Salami po!” which means “Thank you, sausage!” The locals couldn’t help but laugh, and Bob became known for his unintentional sausage references. One day, while exploring the beautiful beaches of Palawan, Bob met Maria, a kind-hearted and cheerful Filipina. They hit it off instantly and spent days together, enjoying the sun, sand, and lots of laughter. Bob finally felt like he had found the connection he had been searching for. However, fate had another humorous twist in store for Bob. On their last day together, as they were about to say their goodbyes, Bob decided to surprise Maria with a heartfelt serenade on the beach. With all his might, he began singing a romantic ballad, pouring his heart out to Maria. Little did he know that his singing voice was far from perfect, and the locals nearby couldn’t help but join in the laughter, cheering and clapping for Bob’s enthusiastic but slightly off-key performance. Despite the laughter and the occasional cultural mishaps, Bob’s journey to the Philippines turned out to be a heartwarming and funny adventure. In the end, he not only found love but also cherished the memories and experiences that made his search truly unforgettable.

I was on 2 dating sites in America, and women wouldn't even reply to me. I had a friend who married a Filipina and was very happy. I tried a Filipina dating site and got all kinds girls wanting to talk to me. I met my now wife, and everyone tells me how happy I look now. Guys if you find a good Filipina, you will be amazed.

Tell a woman upfront that you are not interested in getting married and watch how many of them disappear! Accept the fact that most women (not all) want a provider (even if she denies it). Respect yourself and make sure YOU are getting something in return including a lot of appreciation for being the "provider"....otherwise DON'T DO IT. In the Philippines the appreciation is greater and the "providing" is easier. Here in the US, I remain single (and loving it). Presently, the return is not worth the effort and my bank account loves me.

America is full of adult children today, it's unreal the way people behave today

Online dating has reinforced the attractiveness factor a thousand fold. I read that the top 5% of men date 80% of the women on dating sites.

wow you were spot on the assessment of current dating market. I met my Filipina 4 years ago online, flew over after covid, and she is the best thing to happen to me. We are now in the K1 visa process and am going to retire to the Philippines in 5 years. She is a god send, she never says no, is loving and kind, and one of the best humans I know. She is nothing like American women, I would advise any man that is wanting to try marriage again to come to Philippines.

I'm 35, from Canada and everything you've said about what the dating scene is like in the USA is the exact same in Canada. I'm proud to be Canadian but I've been through at least 12-15 different women over the last 21 years and I'll be honest and say that I would no longer consider exploring or being with a Western woman again. Not even 1 of them was worthy enough to me to put a ring on her finger. I really feel like I was born in the wrong era. Over the past couple years, I've joined a couple Asia dating sites. I've talked to and met a few women. I still haven't met the right one yet but I know for a fact that my lifetime partner will be in Asia. I'm excited for what the future holds. Thanks for the video, Cheers.

Mark, this is a very thoughtful and well-articulated video. Everyone wants to be loved. In the West, love is a battlefield. Yes, this is coming from a female. Peace.

Adding another reason!!! You've been abroad in PH quite a while so you haven't seen American women frequently, and another reason why dating women in America is unappealing is......... There's an enormous trend of women in America who are tattooing entirely just one arm and they have to completely cover the entire arm. It's like a growing fashion trend and I truly despise masculine tattoos on a feminine body. American women want "the authority of men, the benefit of being a woman, and the accountability of a child"

So true Mark. I was fortunate to go to supervisor training that was taught by lesbian HR professionals. It was an eye opening. Any advance by a male in the workplace was harassment. I spent the rest of my 34 years with that company staying away from the opposite sex. When a woman would talk to me about something not work related I would get nerved up and run as far away as I could get.

Mark great points. Been with my Filipino a year and she is wonderful. Don't miss the dating in the US

Good subject. There are wonderful ladies around the world to meet and start a new life with. I’m glad men are not just focusing on the West anymore.

Some American women set the bar so high for a Man that they couldn’t reach it for them selves. So happy I left the US.

When you come into a situation where you’re respected and appreciated it can make you feel like a viable human being and then if you find a good relationship in which you can love and be loved you’ll be full and have that feeling of fulfillment and be able to fulfill those feelings in your partner also….so…..amen 🙏🏻👏😘

You nailed it my friend. My beautiful asawa and I truly love, respect, and have open communication. I gave up on western girls 10 years ago. Most, but not all western females are very confrontational, judgmental, insecure, and materialistic. I am extremely blessed to have my wife and her family in my life. She is my best friend and lifetime partner. Warmest Aloha 🙂

Thanks Mark for posting this, like many other men I have given up on dating in America. It's been 8 years since I last took a lady out and that was an disaster, frustration, drama and greed seem to be the norm now!

the question is always.......what does she have to offer.....it is a reality check like no other.......

Great video and definitely accurate. I’m in my 40s here in Florida. Keep up the good work.

Yes, that is an accurate summary of the dating scene here in North America, Mark: if the man can not provide her with status (either good looks and manly athletic figure, or, has a higher paying job) then he is unlikely to qualify! I always wanted a woman with no trinkets attached to ears, nose, lips, bellybutton, etc, and wanted one with a clean face ( not the painted lips, horrible glued-on eyelashes, plastic fingernails, tattoos, etc) but such women are really hard to find. Mark, you make me wish i was in PH !

Given up on American woman.

Mark, you are telling the life of trying to date American women in a nut shell. Thank you for listening, and understanding. 😊

Men prefer feminine, not feminist

I have avoided females since the pandademic 🇨🇦

Thank You, I have been trying to explain to my Filipina this very topic. She watched this video and understands me even better now. Why I feel at peace when I am with her. No drama mama!!! Thanks again.

Im proud being a Filipino but everywhere its good luck finding the right one for everyone. It has also the discernment of the Qualities you prioritize in the lady your choosing…with God’s guidance to….above all love is everyone needs….

Great work Mark. Giving Australian men hope.

Enjoyed this one. So true about the "confrontation" and all the drama in the States. All the best to you and Jen.

Excellent video. Well thought out and well presented. And that photo of Jen is stellar. Glad everything has worked out so well for you both.

I got married in Philippines 26 years ago The last 25 years lived in california Marriage going great

At 37 im tired. Tired of being used and abused. Tired of having to deal with obese bad attitudes single moms etc etc

Thank you for promoting the Philippines 🇵🇭.

Just a simple compliment is considered sexual harassment in USA now. I don't even look at women anymore. I'm afraid they'll sue me.

Very well said! You are spot on!

RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEATEN US MEN DOWN MR MARK. THIS STUFF HURTS IN AMERICA

I'm retired from dating for now. Thanks for stating this very clearly from a mans point of view. I don't even talk to women much anymore. :)

Woman all around the entire globe are largely attracted to males that can offer financial security/betterment, it makes biological sense and the filipino fermales are 100% onboard along with their western counterparts. Asian women 100% do their own financial assessment of men, they may be a little more subtle about it and/or perhaps the US men are less sensitive to the "judgement" due the woman most likely being in a weaker financial position. I think the biggest difference is really just that of availability, woman in asian are just far more available to western men - all shapes, sizes, hairlines and hair colours (the already mentioned economic criteria is lowered by the cost of living / average wealth of a fillipino family). Other than that it comes down to aesthetics - I live in the west and asian women turn my head here all the time, I find them beautiful and what red blooded male that is looking at a long dark haired, tanned skinned and slim figured woman would not come to the same conclusion. Lastly, nobody really "vouches" for men in the west anymore (did they ever?) but to be honest that is on us men how we handle or crumble under that sort of modern day nonsense. Woman in asia are more available and personally speaking often way more attractive - that's the simple bottom line.

You covered all the points very well !

Mark we not all from America in Europe Australia it’s exactly same situation.

I'm not American but I was married to a Filipina for 6 years, never tried to find out why she had " tampo" i just let her get on with it until it was over. From the stories coming out of the US right now it seems that the society is divided big time and some men get fed up with the current situation and decide to leave for "greener pastures", with the hope of experiencing a better quality of life with stress free living together with a Filipina spouse/girlfriend, that is if they leave their "baggage" behind in the US and decide to move on.

Not just older guys . Women have given up with dating as well. Tired of trying to please and being partient. They just want peace/

One of the best videos that I've seen on YT. 💯

GOOD VIDEO MARK. THANKS THE REALITY IN AMERICA. HOPEFULLY IN 2 YEARS I WILL BE EXPERIENCING PHILIPPINE CULTURE..

Another great one Mark!

Extremely informative video content. Love the great value of your channel….

MEN get your PASSPORT, there are thousands of fit, feminine, cooperative women in SOUTHEAST ASIA.

💯 real talk!! Keep up the great content!! Thanks!

Great video, Mark. You’re very kind and put your point across nice. Unfortunately, I think women in America need to realize not all men tiptoe and not all men give a crap about their wants and needs. It’s funny you don’t hear the word equality when the scale tips the other way. Men have preference and choices too.

Well done, Mark. The late, great Rush Limbaugh once said: “Feminism was created to give less attractive women greater access to the mainstream of society”. In the current U.S. social dynamic we’re seeing the results of 50+ years of feminism infiltrating our great country (along with a few other major social viruses, too!). If I were a betting man, I’d say this is yet another major reason our compatriots are seeking out the very best-Filipinas! I speak with authority having been very happily married to one for 20 years now. . . . Best Wishes to you and your wife

The dating situation is terrible here in mid America. Ask my sister who is 65 and divorced.

What you have related is the beautiful part of having a relationship with women in the provinces. Women in big cities like Manila are much like women in American cities - generally materialistic and opinionated, if not "alphabetically" weird. Candidly, the trade off is having a conversation on matters other than the weather.

An excellent talk sir. Thank you

I agree.... your content makes sense and very realistic.

You’re the doing the right decision in your life 👍

Im here because my wife in America passed away from Cancer after 20 years of marriage...she wanted me to continue the dream of years of planning...it was hard to do without her...but here i am...never to go back to America

Shout out to your family and friends in America.

Hey Mark you right on point Filipino dont like confrontation im married with my Filipina wife for eighteen years and counting but sometimes she get tempo but im very happy with my wife.

There are a lot of Filipina women who make really good spouses. I brought my Filipina to the states almost 14 years ago. I was careful to keep her away from the American women. When we came back to the Philippines for a longer stay, many here were amazed that my Filipina spouse had not become "Americanized". They were happy for her and our family. I was happy too! No matter how good a Filipina you marry, if you allow her to come under the influence of today's Western culture, she very well could become "Americanized" or "Westernized". Then she will become no better than what you left in the states or Western country. Protect your Filipina. Keep her away from western women and other Filipinas that have become Westernized. Such are most miserable women. I sure don't want any of them to make my life miserable by influencing my Filipina with their ways of self focus and interests. Whenever either a man or woman gets focused mainly on themselves, this is inquity. It has no regard for either God or others. Where iniquity abounds love grows cold.

Enjoyed the video Mark God Bless and take care

Good Video

Interesting vid. Theres some perspectives i would appreciate the opportunity to talk about. Im moving there full time so maybe one day we have a talk to exchange dialog.

Facts ❤

Do some of these older expat husbands sometimes find that their younger Filipina wives have local boyfriends too?

You are absolute right, the best thing I ever did was finding my Filipina ❤

Great video Mark. So true what you are saying. I don’t want to generalize but when it comes to work and women today that’s a big no no. When I was younger I met most of my girlfriends at University and later work. Today if I even thought about it I would be stood down. Even work relationships that go South can come back to bite you. I’ll email you again and I’m looking forward to being in the Philippines in July. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Mark I just watch your replay video. And what you’re saying is true. Well said Mark. Yes Philippines culture are more way different here in the US

we do things if there is a payoff, there is no payoff for dating anymore, every woman in US wants a ten even if she is a five or less -- quit dating at 46, now 68 don't miss it, never planned on marriage -- life is not what you want , it's what works out most of the time

Their dads are getting divorced.

So many American women are simply ... unpleasant company. I am sure us guys are frequently difficult as well (to put it nicely), but dating is clearly not worth the 'payoff' - which is usually a twice divorced woman with children from 3 different baby daddies and 5 digits worth of credit card debt. Hard pass, regardless of how pretty they might be. (usually not)

Thank you for sharing some interesting information. You mentioned that many American women are picky . That is true to a certain extent. One other thing I think is worth mentioning. The average height of an American woman is 5 feet 4 inches, but many of them will not date men below the height of 5 feet 8 inches. So much for being a short American male. My Filipino gf noted that there are quite a few expats there that are below the average height . Take it for what it's worth. According to one RU-vid interview, most Filipino women prefer men that are at least 5 feet 6 inches tall ! I guess there is hope for shorter American men (like myself) in the Philippines 😊

never date or approach women at work, after college, HS, the dating world is awful, online dating is a bust

Agreed, only 100%. However, you bring that Philippina to the USA (or any Western country for that matter), watch how fast everyone turns on you. Your friends. Family. Co-Workers.

Some men in the United States have given up on dating

Keep up the good u tub mark keep this interviews coming just keep on watching with a fine Texan gentleman interviewed it makes a world of difference as well combined .I’d like for you to celebrate your anniversary with us the friends and viewers when it comes about see what you can arrange r.paul sweet

Well stated

My girlfriend in Manila back in 2016 was making $11/day working the night shift at the Verizon call center working 10 hrs, Monday - Friday.

That hat and That map are a winning combination.

"Get to the chopper!"

Im happy not getting married

Personally… monk mode is the best stress free option. I can do what I want and when I want without getting yacked.

well put mark ,i lived in chaing mai in northern Thailand and saw exactly what you are saying ,western women are too demanding ,

Can't wait to start my journey. Work 1 year, retire 1 year. 1 work year (usa) retire 1 year (asia). All the while maxing out my IRA each year until I'm 60

Thanks for the reminder brother!! Your livin my future dream 20 friends in 1 night! Wow! 🙏 🙏 🤲 ⛪️

I could do fine if I wanted to date in the US, but I'm mgtow these days because women are just not worth the trouble. If I was interested in dating, I'd be screwed anyway because I have absolutely zero physical attraction to women who aren't very western European looking. Luckily, I've had my fill and am more than satisfied just being done.

I gave up and live alone in the Philippines

Yeah, you were really don’t know what it’s like nowadays. Most men that are going there or looking for someone who hasn’t been ran through. That hasn’t slept with 20 or 50 guys.

Marry the phillippines god bless

Its the same all over tge western world. Im in England & just going through a divorce with a woman who was a single mum when I met her. Women in the west in general have absolutely no regard for the marriage vowels & it mostly means nothing to them. Its so refreshing to hear about women with the correct values. Im wondering if $160,000 would be enough to retire on in the filipeans.

Hi, Mark its good for doing good and taken care of your wife

The algorithm must have picked up on your video mentioning cruise ships. Because the adds popping up during the video is for Viking Cruises. That is kind of funny, but if I was more paranoid, i would expect that they are advertising according to the content.

Yes, very good.

Chasing an American government-controlled woman, is like chasing a scorpion...... .... That doesn't know its own fallen nature . saying gosh, golly, gee, why can't we play together... ...i know, .He must be intimidated by my beauty and success!

Never a good idea to try to date a women at work.

Dating American women.............. WHAT'S THE RETURN?? WHAT RETURN ARE YOU GETTING ON DATING AMERICAN WOMEN?? The return on American women isn't very good. I live in New York City Manhattan and if I go to a rooftop bar in Manhattan I'm spending $100 bucks easy on drinks and food not looking to get drunk and WHAT'S THE RETURN just being out and about at night in bars in America??? What's the return in America on Tinder?? It is what it is.

Hi Mark, excellent video! Your positive reinforcement is desperately needed for guys like me here in America. I would like your opinion on one thing. Maybe you can do a video about this. I enjoy working on houses and would really like to continue doing what I enjoy if I move to your area. I worry however that if I build a house there that having something of such value there compared to the average Filipino could bring out the worst in even the best woman, after all we are all human and human nature sometimes causes even the best person to do things that may be out of character when the opportunity presents itself. What have you seen as far as a track record for guys doing this.

I would never marry a Filipino I just hang out with her and have a good time and I fly back to the states to be with my family that's more important to me
