I've watched a few of this guy's YouTube videos. Picture is apparently with his current girlfriend. He's over 50, maybe 5'5", has a paunch and is non-white (he could pass for Filipino although he's probably Hispanic). He's not wealthy and dresses like a slob. What kind of women do you think he'd get in the States? In the Philippines he's able to date cute girls 25 years younger.
He has some kind of Game, looks fine for his age, he is basically an American regardless of his heritage - for Filipino standards he is solid upper middle class - essentially he almost retired there - also he expands to provider Game. If you do that then other factors come to play with women - you don't need to be the hottest bastard and get the pussy gushing - she will marry you and find you reasonably attractive. Also note his creative business model - he already has 9 patrons dishing out 65$/month each to finance his lifestyle - hehe. It's not much, but it goes much further there. https://www.patreon.com/reekay
Here he meets the parents - dad of his girl being around his age, but looks more used. Also you note that the parents don't mind, since the guy wants a relationship and is no pump-and-dump schemer. If the guy tried running short-term tingle-focused r-selected Game, then it would be more difficult. Your points are valid though - it's very very very unlikely that he would get any girl as hot as that in the US - neither short-term nor long-term.
A friend of mine mentioned that I'd been mentioned here so I figured I'd give some more background to the situation in the PH.
I've lived in the PH for 6 years now. Had 3 major, meaningful relationships. (2 of which were for over 2 years each.) The g/f in the video here is Lyn. An amazing, wonderful woman (age 21 when we met, 25 now) who is as true-blue a woman a man could ever want or hope to meet in a lifetime. However, I decided to part ways and she then found a good-guy she's been happy with the last 2 years.
In response to other items, I see myself as an American. 3rd generation American, in fact. (a 'mexican-american is a person who comes from mexico and 'gains' citizenship) But yes, in the PH, we 'foreigners' are seen as good-providers with a stable income. What kind of women would I get in the States? Very simple; the kind of women I do not want.
I don't want a woman my age who comes with massive emotional baggage and a list of demands so that I can have the opportunity to treat her as my 'queen'. I don't want a woman who says 'No' more than 'Yes' when it comes to sex.
Could I get a younger, hot woman in the USA, California to be precise. It would take a LOT of searching but I could eventually find one. But she'd still be infected with a western mindset that doesn't come close to the wonderful playfulness and joy I easily find with Filipinas. So.. 'american woman.. get away from me'. (to quote lenny kravitz)
As for 'game', I'm not as rich as some of my buddies so I've always had to rely on this thing called, 'Personality'. It's amazing what comes your way when you can make a woman smile, laugh and feel good about herself and her goals. I've dated 2 women in the PH, one of them for over 3 years and she was was wealthy enough to give me her Mercedes for a year while flying to USA every 3 months to spend time with me. (not your average filipina) The last wealthy Filipina I dated, about 2 months ago, is a multi-millionaire (in USD, not pesos), who owns her own resort, string of homes, travel agencies and an import/export business that sells everything from jewelry to motorcycle internationally.
I mention this because not every Filipina is out for our money and not every Filipina is poor and desperate. Many are, true. But the ones who have their own money, what they want from a man is a genuine personality. They already have money.
The Patreon site has 2 focuses;
Helping guys find a good woman among all the bad ones. (Marriage Minded Expats)
Helping guys stay out of trouble being a 'chixboy'. (Committed Bachelors)
It's grown steadily over the last year.
Finally, with regard to the OP on the PH not being what he'd expected...
It doesn't get any easier than the PH. If a guy can't find a solid or flippant relationship in the PH, it's his fault. There are good-girls and bad-girls by the millions there. And they are predisposed to dating older expats. Can't ask for more than that.
I was asked to consult a friend-of-a-friend in Cebu, so I met with him over dinner. I'll admit, the guy was more 'gwapo' than I am. He worked out, blue eyes, blondish hair.. exactly what any Filipina would hope for. Yet he'd spent 3 weeks in various parts of the PH and bemoaned that he STILL hadn't gotten any leads to having a date. (WTH !!!!!!)
After hearing him go on for awhile about how either the women he saw, "weren't his type", "didn't seem friendly enough", "might have a b/f", etc., I finally asked him, "How many Filipinas have you chatted and asked for their phone number?
"None."
The problem wasn't a lack of Filipinas. The problem was not that they are not approachable. The problem is that his own head was cock-blocking him from doing what's needed; Get her phone number... Make the date.
I am NOT exaggerating when I say I've seen guys dragging along an oxygen tank with a hot Filipina on their arm. Anybody... Any-body can find a Filipina for a long or short relationship in the PH. Truly, any guy can do it if he is willing to walk up to a Filipina and say, "Hi." and then chat her up. Problem is, some guys freeze up like they did back home and talk themselves out of talking to her.
So, my position after 3 great relationships and (many) short-term flings between relationships is that if a guy as homely as myself can have constant female companionship in the PH, steadily for 6 years... the only guys not able to do that are in fact the guys not getting their game together.
But for anybody willing to break the ice with these women, the PH has only the potential problem of having too-many women to manage in a week.
