In 2014, I sat down at the Hooters in Makati that has since been replaced with The Cabin – a massive downgrade in my opinion. While I dined on my meal and decided which waitress I liked best, an older gentleman sat down beside me. He was an expat and the owner of the old Hooters. I found his story intriguing, especially since it was my first solo g...
Here’s a success story I came across while living in Makati last year. I bumped into a guy in his 50s from Texas on my way down to the gym in my building. We struck up a conversation, and he told me that he had been living down in Boholfor some years now. He married a Filipina and was as happy as a pig in you know what. The guy was living for dirt ...

Now, here’s the juiciest section. Let’s look at a list of Pinay traits that men should know about before diving into marrying a Filipina.
I’ve had Filipino women tell me they love me our first night together, which is physically impossible (at least in my opinion).

No joke, pretty much every single Filipina has been cheated on by a boyfriend(s) they’ve trusted. A lot of Filipinas I’ve met had been cheated on by a Filipino guy and wanted to test the waters of dating a foreigner. For some men, the jealousy can be unbearable – like the guy I mentioned who divorced soon after marriage. Having said that, I’ve date...
Filipino culture is heavily influenced by the Western world, especially America. Fast food, reality TV, and social media are insanely popular in the Philippines. I’ve noticed a rise in girls emulating what they see in American pop culture. This is a huge dealbreaker for me. My last year in the Philippines, I didn’t allow cell phone use inside my pl...
Some Pinays are cutthroat and after your money. I’ve had money taken out of my stash spot twice in the Philippines. The first girl got me for a couple hundred bucks. The second time was less than twenty. The last time I was in the Philippines, I caught a girl trying to rob me. After my previous experiences, I learned to keep an eye on them. Out of ...
I’m not saying that all Pinays lack personality or oomph because they certainly don’t. BUT… going back to what I said before, they can get comfortable on their cell phones. If you like to do a lot of outdoor activities and are an adventurous person, a Filipina wife may not be the best idea for you. In my case, I don’t mind too much. The Pinays I’ve...
