    "content_text": "You date again after years of being single by starting smaller than your pride wants: coffee, honesty about your schedule and money, and no performance of a richer, freer man. Practice rusts. Apps feel like a market. Your last relationship still has echoes. That is normal. Rushing is how men collect a new wound with a new name. What do you say about the gap? \"I was working and I was not ready.\" Enough. You do not owe a TED talk. You owe a present tense. How do you date on a Filipino salary? Walk. Cheap lunch. Honesty. If she only wants the mall version of you, she wanted a budget, not a man. thefilipinomen.com has said this in other essays: love that bills like a lifestyle will eat you. What should you watch in yourself? Loneliness that agrees too fast. Talking only about the ex. Checking the phone like a score. Go home when you are tired of performing. More of this kind of everyday manhood is at thefilipinomen.com — that is the home of The Filipino Men. Frequently asked questions Am I too old at 35 or 40?You are late only if you compare to a movie. You are on time if you can be kind and clear. Should I say I have a child?Yes, early. A woman who leaves because of the truth left at the right time.",
