Yohan on Southeast Asia

If you are a Western Caucasian man, have some savings or income or retirement allowances and you want to live in Philippines, you need not to look for women, who will fear you, or respect you or call it whatever.

You, the foreign man, holding the own independent Philippine residence visa, owning your condominium in a major Philippine city, needs only to sit down and to wait - women will show up by themselves.

No need to marry - and the woman, who wants to live with you, has to do what is told to her. Easy!
Have strict rules...explain your rules openly to her.

If your rules are broken all the time, this means a good-bye. A kick-out. The next girl will show up the same day and ask, if she is allowed to replace the disgraced lady.

Call me a bad guy, but we should talk openly about the economic situation in the Philippines. This Asian nation does not offer a good life for many people, who are often living in deep poverty.

It is up to the girl, either to respect your rules, or to leave...
This does not mean, that you force the girl to do this and that...either she likes your way or she has to leave.
I assure you, for most Filipina girls even the strictest rules are like heaven-on-earth compared to the life outside of your home in Philippines.

Generally, Caucasian men, who feel comfortable after moving to Asia, are not known for mistreating local women. Let me say, many men, who feel disappointed in the Western world and are moving to Philippines and similar poor nations are very generous to the girl, who stays with them and treat her nicely.

OK, yes, I agree, such Filipinas are not American power-girls...but who needs American power-girls anyway?

I think, you should get on a plane and after arrival in Philippines you should compare.
Be prepared to see also life in poverty and expect some surprises...and in Philippines still marriage is respected and there are no laws for divorce.
Philippines is Asia, even with a lot of European and American influence in the past.

As I said many times, there is a difference between an Asian woman living in Asia and a woman of Asian origin, living in the USA.

There are plenty of such 'Asian' people living in SF area for example, they speak only English, know they are originally from Asia, but they are nothing else but true American males and females.
