I moved here to retire abroad, living on my US Social Security, but dating in the Philippines after 70 is a minefield I wasn't prepared for. In this video, I walk you through 10 real nightmares I've lived through:
🚩 The Facebook Inbox Trap — How romance scammers work
💬 The Money-Ask Pivot — When the conversation turns financial
🏝️ The Distance Game — What happens when you try to meet
📱 Dating App Fatigue — The endless swipe trap
👻 The Ghost — Ghosting and why it happens
👨👩👧 Family Pressure & The "Sari-Sari Store" Expectation
🤐 Tempo — The Silent Treatment & Communication Gaps
💬 Small Town Gossip & The Chismas — Dating in a tight community
⚡ Health & Energy Mismatch — Can you keep up?
🌍 The Expat Bubble — Dating within your own circle
I've made mistakes so you don't have to. Whether you're considering dating abroad, already in the Philippines, or just curious about the realities of senior dating in Southeast Asia, this breakdown covers the hard lessons I've learned.
If you're living abroad on Social Security or planning to retire in the Philippines, understanding these relationship pitfalls can save you heartbreak and money.
Hey guys, I’m Mike. At 72, I’ve found that retiring in the Philippines is the best decision I’ve ever made. I live here in Dumaguete, and this is my honest look at the real experience of growing older abroad. The laughter, the loneliness, and the hard lessons I’ve learned along the way.
