You Think You're Dating Right in the Philippines. You're Not. | Day 7 of 100

There are three tiers of women in the Philippines and four types in your pool — and you keep dating the wrong one. In this video, I am giving you the map on how to read a Filipina's mating strategy based on the social class she belongs. Everybody wants to tell you what Filipinas want. The forums, the videos, the guy at the bar who's been here eight months and thinks he cracked the code. And every one of them does the same thing: they take one woman, from one background, and hand you her strategy as if it's the whole country. So here's the honest version. There is no such thing as "what Filipinas want." There are at least three completely different answers — and which one is sitting across the table from you has almost nothing to do with her being Filipina, and almost everything to do with what her life looked like when she was twelve. There's a floor, first: every woman on earth checks whether you can stand on your own two feet. That's not gold digging — in a country with no safety net, that's just survival. Everything above the floor gets decided by class. Then it splits. The woman for whom marriage is rescue. The woman who already got herself out and is looking for a teammate, not a way up — and who will read your character like a hawk before she ever agrees to a second date. The woman you'll almost never meet. And one more who isn't a tier at all — the one who mirrors back whichever man you're hoping to be. And here's the part for you: your passport skipped the whole queue. To a woman in that first year you're not a man standing somewhere on the ladder — you are the ladder. That's why the first one says yes so fast, and why the second one makes you wait. Day 7 of the 100-day morning walk. In this walk: Why "what Filipinas want" is the wrong question entirely The floor every woman checks — and why it isn't greed Rescue vs. partnership: two women who'll say the same words to you The "fourth woman" who has no tier of her own, so she borrows yours Why the poor and middle class never made the West's turn from partnership to status To the men: you say you want the teammate, but you keep choosing the hero-trip This one calls out both sides — hard. The men who go shopping for a woman who values security, then get offended when she checks whether they have any. And the women, Tier 1 and Tier 2 both, who mistake a vehicle for a partner, or turn screening into a wall and wake up at 38 still auditing. 👇 Honest question in the pinned comment. Tomorrow: the one thing in this class game nobody says out loud on camera — some women aren't weighing what you can give *her*. They're weighing what you can give her children. 🔔 New morning walks most days + full studio episodes every Tuesday.
