if you can live with the long flight.

That is probably the biggest deterrent to travel from the US.  Takes me 19 hours to get here - I can get to central Mexico in 3 hours! ...but I never wanted to retire in Mexico :tiphat:

Reasons to travel to the Philippines?

For some men it could be to find a wife. 

For other men, to live on a small fixed income. 

For others, to live in a tropical climate, cheap.

For women?  I have no idea why.

Perhaps attracted to Filipino men. 

The age of the man or the woman might have something to do with it.

The Philippines is not a place where most young people like to visit unless they are from nearby Australia or New Zealand.

Just my SWAG

The last time I came from the uk it took me 23 hours door to door.Last time I went to Thailand from here it took me 11 hours because of the stopover in Manila.The low cost of living is a main reason i came here.

count insect bites, 

sweat out doors in the humidity, night and day

watch your beard grow,

hope the food you ate from vendor doesn't give you LBM

hope there is no "brownout"

fun ride on a crowded jeepney

Well I have to hand it to you - you're consistent :smile:

Sorry, I don't mean this as a negative; well not completely. What I mean is that unlike some guys who are high one day and hate life the next, your attitude toward the Philippines is - consistent.

EXACTLY,  So why pretend it's paradise. 

Lets be honest. I'm grateful for what I have but. I'm only here for one reason, my wife. 

No, it's "not more fun in the Philippines? Ok, maybe for some.
