Well said. Although I do still occasionally go bar hopping

Same here.  But now, it's mostly to play pool with the bar girls.  That never gets old to me.  Still fun.

Do the girls get your balls out.

Hell man, just had a great night out tonight.  

I'm going to disclose a little more.  Not to brag, but only for your honest opinion and feedback.  I have net worth of $2.6 million.  Which includes a penthouse condo in Hawaii, overlooking a golf course, just 5 minutes away from the airport.  I have no debt... everything is paid for ... and I have a government pension and investments that gives me $7K per month.  

How do I discuss the topic of money with a young potential Filipina?   Who barely understands how to open a savings account in a bank.  

As fun as it is, it can be frustrating.

Simple, they will assume you are rich and that's all they need to know.

You're in good company.

We're all millionaires to the locals.

Sure, I'll go for it. I'll give you feedback and my honest opinion.  You come across as a complete arsehole in my honest opinion, very crass as well.  Ever since you started posting on here you have always tried to drop money and insinuate your worth into your posts, very tacky.   Regarding posting your net worth of $2.6 million dollars... are you really sure that was necessary?  I know you have been in the Phils for a while now,                   Rule number 1... don't tell anybody what you are worth, it's dangerous and to be honest, very stupid.  People here get kidnapped, sad but true.  People get blown away for a few thousand pesos.  Shouting your mouth off about your wealth (even on a forum) is very likely to get you into serious trouble at some point here in the Phils.   Anyway, for what it was worth, that was my honest opinion and feedback just as you asked for.

I'm sure you worked very hard and invested well.

I've been very open and honest with my wife about "our" financial situation. If you are dating someone that person has no need to know anything about your finances. Clearly she could see how you live and what you spend day to day that's enough IMO. We all know how Filipina's like to share details with anyone who will listen.

Disclosing this to anyone that you don't know and trust anywhere in the world... Braver man than me Gunga Din.  Especially in a country sometimes renowned for it's violence against the rich for profit, regardless whether they're foreigner or local.   

I showed your post to my missus, her reaction was "Is he stupid?".

We are never as anonymous online as we think we are, no matter how careful we think we are.  There's no restrictions on who can read these forums, they're open.  Membership just allows you to post/reply.

I know I am silly at times, but even my missus don’t know about my secrete stash, then again I maybe don’t know about hers
