How big/small is the whole movement, "American men going abroad to date/marry?
Beat100
Online I see many forums/groups/youtube of men who left American to either hook up with foreign women or find a long partner. I've seen it across all ethnic groups, including white, black, hispanic, and asian. I wonder how big or small is this whole movement? Is it a niche community, or is it something that many men are trying.
Usually, most of these guys will write something like this to promote their lifestyle:
"I used to be a shy, nerdy guy in America and never dated nor had casual sex. I was tired of my life there. American women were X, Y, and Z. I was making a decent income, but I felt that America was holding me back from achieving my dating and professional goals. I have heard of other guys who left America and became successful, but I was still doubtful. One day, I decided to "take the plunge' and go to EE, SEA, or LA for a month and try it out. It's been a few years now, and I have become a ROCKSTAR. I have tons of casual sex and even have one woman who I see long-term. I also have my six-figure location independent business. If you are interested in this lifestyle, message me."
Haha, or something along those lines. It's funny how all these guys who similar stories or promote the same lifestyle. I believe some might be successful and can find more "traditional" women, but others might be saying hyperbolic claims.
Got something to say?

If I was a single guy with nothing to lose yeah it sounds intriguing but then again if you watch one episode of 90 day fiancée it may change your mind. If not watch 2 episodes and it’ll definitely change your mind.

^the summary of this is that divorce is trending down overall, and has been since 2008, but most of the people even getting married in the first place are the college educated, higher income people.

^This is to hi-light that when divorces do happen, it’s more likely among older people.
As of now, I’ll say it’s most likely a very low movement. Marriage and relationships are more stable for those Americans with the means to hang out in foreign countries for a decent length of time. And the have-nots will have a harder time getting abroad in the first place.
Oh yeah, and add in rising nationalism and post-COVID travel restrictions because I think it’s still up in the air if easy movement between counties will be a thing for a few years.
Black pill? I thought it was red pill? Dang BBBC must be more pervasive than I thought
It's interesting. What I mean is that I think I'm
more of left brain dominant person in which I don't get bored talking about similar topics. In which I always enjoy talking
about similar topics since I get to learn maybe a little bit more about the topic.Maybe you are a right brain dominant person?
Every once in a while in different forums I run into a guy like you who will tell, "Hey man, you talk about similar things."
My theory is that their brain seeks novelty. My brain mind seek more and more clarification.
Don't you think then that these guys are doing the right thing, at least for themselves as individuals? If they were going to have no chance in America. They might as
well try to live and marry in a more traditional society.Maybe their chance of success might be higher.
First, six figures is not necessarily that incredible. Second, the way said ape wrote that makes me suspicious that he does not actually have a six-figure business.
Unless it is in Mexican Pesos. ROAR!!!
Does anyone watch 90 day fiance and think "aw those two are going to make it!"
I think so - the alternative is likely worse - I just push back on the ones that all of a sudden think/claim they are some kinda casanova b/c women with minimal choices/opportunities are giving them the time of day.
