Guys fuck themselves over by doing this shit all the time. The cultural differences in a Western man vs. (for example) an Asian woman are massive, which leads to huge problems in relationships. In some Asian cultures, women are basically expected to be gold diggers, and will shamelessly dump a man after years of relationship if he encounters financial difficulty for example. I'm not saying don't ever date women abroad, but if you do, have a good understanding of the culture from which you're finding the woman (at the very least, basic proficiency in the local language is a good start).
I'm well aware you never used the term "Asian" but let's be honest, we aren't gonna be picking up Negresses, Pajeetesses, or She-beaners.
Very true in some ways, not in others. I don't think all asians are that big of gold diggers, I think that's more of a very specifically Chinese thing. Though, wealth will always be a factor in relationships. In the west, we just idealize it as otherwise when we ALL know who women try to date. I am quite sure you are basing this on some experience with Chinese. Maybe also Japan and South Korea to a slightly lesser extent. Anywhere else and you're wealthy by comparison anyway. This is the actual point: dating abroad, anywhere non-west you will find a much higher importance in the extended family than on the nuclear American family, so you may be expected to help her family out financially since you're daddy bigbucks now. As you should, when you marry you also marry their family, Americans do not realize how distant they actually are from their extended families compared to the rest of the world. It's not (necessarily) a greed or exploitation thing, it's just how family dynamics work outside the USA. Of course, establish boundaries.
I would also like to remind you prospects within the USA by comparison. I'm aware of the realities of international dating, but we are at the point where it's never been easier and more ideal for men to just travel for love. Women in America do not want most American men except only a small, powerful, wealthy sliver of them. Women around the world
want American men, there is no demand for American women overseas except for as temporary sex partners, dating in America is stacked against men but entirely favors women both in social norms and the law. Once you leave the plantation, it's a different ballgame. You go from being Loser Larry in the USA, a good guy doing everything right but ignored because you're not ~premium~ in the eyes of cocaine/adderall (white girls love it, fellas) and social media addicts, to being a complete fucking Chad. Women will throw themselves at you abroad,
they will actually be nice to you, and they will actually put in an effort to get you to like them.
They will more likely do more traditional women's work and you will probably have more masculine expectations of you, which is good and ideal. Many of these women want one thing, and it highlights how stupid the western people are that say passport bros exploit these women: these women like foreign men because they are
far less demanding on household tasks and shit. Literally these men get criticized for exploiting these women when these women love every aspect of the situation, they love their knight in shining armor, they like the increased status they get dating a foreigner (particularly in SEA, not Japan/China/SK), and many of these places WORSHIP white men and think they're extremely hot, and
they enjoy not having as strict traditional demands placed on them.
In my experience Pajeet women are Bollywood-influenced and are obsessed with cheesy romance and romantic gestures which of course involve spending $$, I would be more wary with an Indian woman. Despite what any of you will say, many African women are very good women and many women in Africa want mixed-race children... (women the world over seem naturally inclined to race mix). South America, I don't think I could trust most Latina women.
I love it when women try to shame men that do this even though these women fantasize about millionaire quarterbacks falling for them, they just get upset when they see men succeed and escape the set of rules they created here. They want you to simp for them, but they hate you and don't want you to be happy.
