Date Like a KING in the PHILIPPINES: the hierarchy of men

Brief overview

The video (Smart Girl Philippines — speaker: Irish) describes five common types of foreign men who come to the Philippines, explains why most fail to build lasting relationships there, and gives seven practical “secrets” (lifestyle/relationship tips) for how to be a “king” — a man who succeeds long-term.

Core idea

Be a King: balanced, experienced, patient, disciplined, not exploitative — someone who builds a long-term life and relationship rather than seeking short-term thrills.

Five categories of foreign men (traits and where to spot them)

Knight

• New, well-meaning and naive; tries to solve problems immediately, seeks approval, appears “too nice.”
• Often targeted by scammers or gold diggers because he doesn’t make partners invest in the relationship.
• Commonly seen in malls and restaurants.
• Example referenced: 90 Day Fiancé (Ed & Rose).

Jester

• Wealth-focused partygoer: spends on dinners, karaoke, island hopping, hotels, nightlife and short-term fun.
• Enjoys attention and the “girlfriend experience”; relationships tend to be transactional and short-lived.
• Found in nightlife districts and bars — the life of the party.

Dragon

• Obsessed with beauty and possession; jealous and controlling, guards “treasures.”
• Uses money or disguises of wealth to attract partners but keeps them trapped; usually ends badly.
• Visible around bars and nightlife, or walking with much younger partners.

Wizard

• Has developed “game” and seduction skill; mobile and travels province to province, addicted to conquest.
• Charming but unreliable and transient; can devolve into exploitation or bitterness.
• Spot by frequent hopping around cities/countries or repeated appearances in nightlife districts (distinguish real wizards from “bar-powered” ones).

King

• Balanced: believes in love but is experienced, disciplined, not exploitative; builds a long-term life or “kingdom.”
• Patient, thoughtful, and attractive to partners seeking stability and care.
• Rare because it requires self-work, patience, and long-term thinking.

Seven secrets / practical tips to “be a king” in the Philippines

1. Know yourself and your goals

   • Understand your strengths and weaknesses, decide long-term aims, plan strategically, and spend time reflecting.

2. Act like a king

   • Present yourself well: dress neatly, smell good, speak politely, and avoid sloppy or undignified behavior.

3. Have a good “castle”

   • Invest in quality accommodation (nice hotels, condos, safe neighborhoods). Environment matters for reputation and comfort.

4. Have good advisors

   • Build local relationships and firsthand knowledge; don’t rely solely on social media. Travel and see places yourself before deciding where to settle.

5. Don’t get sucked into trifles

   • Avoid wasting time on petty complaints, small fights, or minor inconveniences; focus on meaningful priorities.

6. Guard your kingdom

   • Be cautiously optimistic: screen out gold diggers, scammers, and other threats while avoiding paranoia.

7. Find your queen and care for her

   • Value a loyal, supportive partner; invest in and protect that relationship — a good partner brings long-term happiness and stability.

Additional lifestyle and travel notes

• Travel and explore island groups and beaches to pick the best place to live — one example mentioned a man who visited many islands to choose an ideal location.
• Nightlife districts, bars, and tourist hotspots concentrate many transient types (jesters, wizards, dragons).
• The video encourages self-reflection before traveling to the Philippines and emphasizes long-term thinking over short-term pleasures.
