I think this guy could be a bit of an extreme. He is probably looking for girls in seedy bars or casual hookup sites. He needs to have a "barkada", a group of friends who will, over time, learn to trust him, become aware that he is not a fly-by-night womanizer but an expat on a very good salary, ready to enjoy the city with his new partner.
Back story here...
I'm a 30 year old foreigner of Puerto Rican descent who chose to live in the Philippines due to the nature of my job. I work for a scientific research company which studies the ocean, and my work contracts are pretty short at only 2-3 months. I thought I would try to live in the Philippines since it was similar culturally and geographically to Puerto Rico but with a vastly lower cost of living, and my work allows me to take extended periods of time off.
Naturally, I tried to date Filipino girls, but I keep running into the same problem over and over again..
Im tired of my FILIPINA girlfriends always asking for money!
I've dated many Filipinas, and I've tried to treat them like normal girlfriends, paying for our outings, talking to them about deep things, treating that with respect and trying my best to adjust to their culture.....but after a while they always ask me "why don't you give me cash.....where is my allowance"?
I don't say it, but I think....Oh sorry, I didn't know you were a prosti...
They'll ghost soon after that. I've had multiple of them end up with, I shit you not, 65 year old white men, and then try to justify it in their head saying he's handsome lol. I've had girls say I've made them feel cheap because I didn't give them straight up cash, even if I paid for all of our dating expenses.
I make a good salary (600k a month), but I'm not flashy or a braggart, I never tell them how much money I earn....its not how I was raised. I have millions of pesos in the bank and I have a 10k oppo phone....yet I've had girls demand an iPhone 14 after 1 week of casual dating lol. Girls demanding I pay for 15 people to go on an outing while they all speak Tagalog and give me the cold shoulder without even saying so much as thank you.....girls demanding I buy them motors.....girls demanding i pay for expensive medical procedures for unknown family members.......all after less than 1 month of dating!
The middle-upper class girls want nothing to do with me and straight up give me their back and turn their nose up to me when I attempt to approach them due to the association of foreigners and Filipinas with gold digging and prostitution..
It seems they are conditioned to think that if you are dating a foreigner, he has to be sugar daddy, if not, dump him and find one who will do what you want when you want him to do it. I'm generous, but I'm not a fool nor will I be taken advantage of. I hate these dumb old white men who come to the Philippines and spoil it for people trying to have normal decent relationships.
I'm 30 years old, good career, handsome (that's what they say not me).......and It's hard AF to have a normal relationship here!
I tried Philippines, but the culture is toxic. See you in Puerto Rico if you ever make it there.
Depending on one's sense of initiative, quality of professional and social circles and quite a bit of luck, OP shouldn't have no problems finding a quality girl who is financially independent and wouldn't even begin to imagine asking for an allowance. True that those good girls who have this quality and are also young, unmarried, pretty and single, are not growing on a mango tree, not even in the Philippines! It takes effort.
