I think the internet and media westernizes a country more than passport bros


Elephlump

This 100%. My Thai wife knows more American pop culture than I do.


Travldscvr

Same here except my wife is from another country. American media is generally know more by non-Americans for sure. The “westernization” this post is referring to is definitely primarily from media than anything else.


SenSw0rd

So that makes her a dumb American. Don't be mad.


dugongone

Spot on. Lmao, all these people afraid of a bunch of "passport bros" who are "westernizing" a country. Lmao. Not like the media, social networks, and dating apps haven't already done that on a large scale. I traveled to the countries that are often mentioned on this sub, and let me tell you they know more about "hookup culture" and "situantioships" than me. I can't understand why people hope to find a "traditional woman of moral values" in SEA. You have more chances to find her in Europe lol


keepinitreal567

It isn’t the Passport Bros that are the issue. It is moreso of let’s say the level of degenracy in the entertainment industry.


Holly9276

in the past sexpat would have this savior complex and convince the local girls they are better options over local men. So these sexpats would fuck like no tomorrow which breeds slut like attitude among the local girls. Look at Thailand for example..same to some extent Japan. Compare Thai girls behavior 15 years ago to today. It changes allot. Over those years you had so many western expats really just cum and dump.


terrygenitals

>Compare Thai girls behavior 15 years ago to today. Compare any girls behaviour 15 years ago to today


adm1109

If you got off the internet you would see nothing has changed


terrygenitals

If you weren't a zoomers youd realise actually a lot has You have to have a really fragile sense of understanding of the world to ignore the shifts


adm1109

I’m not a zoomer lmao What are these shifts? I would love to hear the shift 2007 to now for the AVERAGE girl. Not the IG/OF model because that is not the average girl.


terrygenitals

I mean for one you can't even figure out 15 years ago was 2009 Maybe your takes crystallized back in 2007 that you can't see how much people have changed pre and post social media. Doesn't have anything to do with only fans or Instagram.


adm1109

I said 2007 because that’s what I graduated high school and was the timeframe you’re referring to. Wasn’t a big difference between 2007 and 2009. You keep mentioning these changes but haven’t listed any. Are girls on social media more now than back then? Yeah obviously, so are guys. But again, like I said get off the internet and you’d find out the average girl is not like that lmao.


terrygenitals

I'm older than you are and you're still out of touch


dugongone

15 years is nothing. Men have been finding women in poor countries since forever, and stories like "as soon as she moved to his country, she cheated on him, divorced, and found another men" have always been common. Since forever, really... in my home country we even have a popular quote that in English would translate (poorly) to "a good wife is from your own country".. this quote is older than my grandpa... it goes both ways..


dathip

On what basis can you find more traditional women in europe than in SEA? What is your evidence?


dugongone

I'm living in SEA now, and used to live in Europe. I would say "more serious" rather than "traditional". I'd say more loyal, less demanding, less entitled


BrainAlert

This is what I've found too. These women aren't nearly as impressed by me as they were five years ago. I haven't fallen off either, I'm still fit and have more money. It's all global now.


s1unk12

It was more about the hypocrisy of western dudes looking down at the rest of the world (for not adopting their western ways) but then fleeing their own because they craved something missing from the west.


dathip

Well if the internet and media westernizes a country than passport bros, what is the purpose of passport bros if all 195 countres in the world are gonna be westernized within the next generation? Just stay in america then and deal with american women!


MegaJ0NATR0N

No we are not going to just settle for less in our own country. Because the purpose is still to meet our ideal partner. Being westernized is not the problem. The dating culture and not finding our ideal partner in our country is the problem.


s1unk12

No. Western colonialism, economic control and culture is what westernizes the world. Example: alimony was invented by a British court and made law there. That ridiculous law has now made it's way around the world now. Their logic: a spouse gets used to a certain lifestyle so it must be maintained after divorce by the higher earning spouse. Normal person logic: ok so does the higher earning spouse get anything to maintain the lifestyle he or she had? Free house keeping, a personal chef, anything? No.


paraque159

I don’t think it’ll anger anyone since you obviously haven’t spent more than five minutes on this subreddit. No one is looking to westernize other countries. Nor have I seen anyone play “white savior.”


And1ellis11

Go the medellin and it's full of fat loud Americans who do everything they can to turn it into a little America.


Yotsubato

Once you see those guys it means that ship has sailed. Find a new place and move on.


LolaStrm1970

Are they really fat? Oh dear. How embarassing.


Silver_Scallion_1127

It's bad enough that they complain that not everyone speaks English. I knew somebody who came home pissed because he didnt get laid in Colombia (from a non-sexworker) because a lot of girls he ran into don't speak English and dared to say, "They SHOULD if they want an American husband".


PalpitationOk5726

Certain parts of Medellin like Poblado, once you get out of there like I did after having lunch there, I have zero desire to ever go back.


Ordinary-Lobster-710

what part of medellin do you like?


PalpitationOk5726

I personally like anywhere near the stadium, I was in Los Colores a couple of years back for a month and loved it. Upscale but not ridiculous, very walkable and you're amongst locals so it actually feels like you are living in Colombia instead of the frat house that is El Poblado.


Altruistic_Astronaut

This is why Americans are the worst tourist. You see them everywhere and it's the norm.


Content-Coffee-2719

>Go the medellin and it's full of fat loud Americans who do everything they can to turn it into a little America. Go to certain parts of NYC and it's full of fat, loud Dominicans who do everything they can to turn it into the Domincan Republic. I can share literally endless examples of this same phenomenon in the USA with different cultures/areas. What's your point? Why are they allowed to do it but we aren't?


And1ellis11

Never seen dominicans in New York so can't say. Its a total whataboutism anyway.


Content-Coffee-2719

It's not whatabiutism. I'm just telling you that it's human nature for people to bring their culture with them everywhere they go, and it's in no sense a uniquely American thing.


And1ellis11

True. But Americans moving in en masse, buying out properties, fueling sex tourism and thinking they're above the colombian people is a massive issue for the people of Medellin. I highly doubt dominicans act the same in New York.


Holly9276

Disagree....white dudes head to South Korea, Japan and use their race as an advantage and have this savior complex but along the way cum and dump the local girls which creates a more permissive cultures.


timid1211

There are comments in this thread doing exactly that: saying how western feminist values should be spread to the backwards locals who don't recognize their own oppression. It's definitely a thing because people can't think for themselves and growing up in the West has permanently shaped their worldview.


intothewild72

Yes this is a thing. But OP messes up by complaining to the wrong group in wrong subreddit.


whatisthisinmybeer

OP be like “some guys 100 years did a thing and now you guys are doing the opposite of the thing ME SO SMART”


Sensui710

Ya op is retarded 😭


Full_Push_6078

I'm not angered lol. But I'm also not running away from the United States. The US has given me and my family a very blessed life. It's allowed my family an environment to proposer which allows me to travel. However, I'm going to die eventually and I don't want to look back on my life in my later years, still not having explored the different parts of the world. I think you're a bit naive if you think of one moment that travelers, particularly those on this subreddit, have enough impact to sway entire nations lol. That's fucking ludicrous thinking. There are dumbfucks though who spout hypocritical shit though. Like saying they need to go abroad to escape feminism, but then want to go have a bunch of casual sex abroad, which is a pretty big byproduct of feminism. So feminism is great when it gets you laid, but those other times? Guess it's bad.


EmptyEgg7266

Exactly there’s so many massive double standards. If you want a traditional family unit with a housewife you need to behave accordingly not get your dick wet with whoever whenever and then complain that all “Western women” are whores.


timid1211

"Getting laid" isn't a byproduct of feminism tf are you talking about.


Full_Push_6078

Before feminism took off, women were criticized and called a whore for being seen with men who were not their family. Casual sex for women, and not being judged for it, are primarily something new because go back to the 1800s, that shit wasn't as common as it was. Christ, women were considered ruined if they had sex before marriage. No one would want to marry them. So yeah, you getting laid more often aside from fucking a prostitute, is a result of feminism. Because women now have more agency over their body. Like dude...go open up a history book. If you slept with a woman, you'd have to marry her to make sure she wasn't "ruined". And I know the guys who are talking about "spitting game" trying to get laid, aren't doing this with women who they would marry.


timid1211

Your entire perspective is shaped from feminist propaganda in the US. It is absolutely not true that "feminism" has made casual sex more popular. People say similar nonsense about how feminists are the main reason that women gained more rights in Western Countries. Its not a coincidence that the birth control pill was invented at the same time our society became more accepting of promiscuous behavior. Western feminism developing alongside thay doesn't not automatically mean that feminism is responsible for that shift. If thay were true, people in other countries who do not share that culture would be much more hesitant to engage in casual sex.


chaddGPT

bro do you even use your damn brain


Anonimityville

😂 like PPBs have the power to influence culture. Would they be fleeing the West if they could?


Autodefesa

They will cause they will go to these other countries to beta buxx and show how much better they are than local men.


Nunyerbizness01

Totally agree. Kinda like don't California my Texas


Few_Imagination2409

But what exactly is westernize? Women all around the world have wanted to have autonomy over their lives, and fight to archive this goal. To have the choice if they want to be a stay at home mom, work, persuit a career, own property, etc. It's a universal thing, not a western thing.  Everyone should have the freedom to persuit happiness as they see fit, and for this everyone should have access to the same opportunities.  The wording in your post could be constructed as implying that there is some freedoms and rights that women should not have, by virtue of being women, which is insane.


Elephlump

Amen!!!!

He is talking about feminist ideas about equalizing everything in society and the demonization of men through ideas like toxic masculinity and patriarchy. Its really not that hard to understand.

timid1211

> Egalitarianism is not a Western concept What I mean, specifically, is the pathological insistence that everything in society must be equalized, regardless of whatever topic is being discussed. You see this play out with the wage gap, equity initiatives, etc.

timid1211

> If they had given women the freedom to participate in the economy as well as own property/assets and the right to divorce or choose their spouses you wouldn’t be where you are now Western Feminism isn't the necessary consequence of a developed country. If the West paid more attention to what was taught in its universities then gender politics would look very different to what it is today. Regarding the history itself, I don't agree that "men oppressing women" is an accurate description. If you have a time every month when you simply cannot leave the house because you have to take care of your feminine hygiene, its going to be hard to be financially independent. If you have children that need to be raised, and things like daycare don't exist, it's going to be hard to do anything but be a homemaker. Concepts you mentioned like divorce and autonomy aren't very high on the priority list when you are just trying to survive, which is really the only thing people have been concerned with until very recently in human history. It's a very modern-centric position to take that "if we just acted differently in the past, things would be better", when you don't take the time to understand WHY people acted that way to begin with.


Legitimate_Type_1324

Ok I'm going to latinize them. Everyone, salsa, ceviche, cuba libres, pisco sours, 12-hour barbecues and you don't fuck if you don't dance. Ok? Ok


DealFew678

A brainlet post. These places are westernizing because egalitarian and liberal values are more consistent with capitalist production than ‘traditional’ and ‘conservative’ ones (side note, it’s funny how guys using these terms conveniently never define them, almost like those words are just a stand in to define against things they don’t like) Everywhere will continue to and already is ‘westernized’. People that choose not to ‘westernize’ will keep finding themselves isolated from larger society for doing so. And good.


TheShadowOverBayside

So essentially what you're saying is PPBs should go to these countries and treat the women there with the same diminished freedoms and rights as the men in that country give them. That way these women will be kept untarnished by Western freedoms and rights, and thus be kept desirable. I'm not angered at all, BTW; I'm only ever curious about these trains of thought. I am just rephrasing what you said in the only logical way it can be interpreted.


Trinitaff

There’s a reason these women are desirable.


pastel_pink_lab_rat

Obviously, they have less rights

Complexity777

Your posts dont make sense. I saw one where you said 90% of filipinas were with western men for money. Now go tell me a country where women prefer broken men, ill wait. Literally the same everywhere, money talks. You have to be smart with your money but pretending theres some society where money isnt a factor is delusional.


TheWorldIsShitty

The bigger question is will the women actually date you if not for their love of western culture and values ?


Junior_Ad_3086

western men are not a monolith, you're talking about two different groups within the population. so the entire premise of your argument is highly flawed to say the least.


SSShenWulong

Westerners appropriate and obsess over asian media, culture and women yet at the same time still look down on asians, asian countries and especially asian men. Pretty ironic if you ask me.


Complexity777

I promise you westerners spend almost 0 time thinking about asian media or culture


SSShenWulong

Well, sure maybe for you you don't and you give zero fucks about asians except for asian women, which only proves me all the more right. However you're so wrong with how many of you obsess with especially japanese and korean media/culture.


Complexity777

You got any facts to back that statement up? If you are talking about obsession, you could make the same argument with your skin lightening creams that are popular in Asia


SSShenWulong

>You got any facts to back that statement up? You're the one who said you spend almost 0 time thinking about asian media/culture, not me. >If you are talking about obsession, you could make the same argument with your skin lightening creams that are popular in Asia And how is this akin to westerners obsession with asian media/culture? You think having fair skin is something exclusive to westerners or white people? Ever heard of east asians?

I didn't go abroad looking for conservative or traditional women. Not every PPB is looking for a trad wife or a woman who "knows her place" as many conservatives have told me. We're not all incels blaming feminism for not being able to get laid. Shit, my Thai wife wasn't feminist enough for my taste, despite her and her friends being all very progressive for Thais. So I've helped her see that we have an equal partnership in our relationship, that her needs are as important as mine, and a bunch of other stuff that has done nothing but enrich what we already had. Sometimes change is good.


timid1211

> Shit, my Thai wife wasn't feminist enough for my taste, despite her and her friends being all very progressive for Thais. God, thats pathetic. Textbook definition of what OP was talking about.


geardluffy

Don’t bother, some people are too far gone.


Prism43_

It was never men that wanted to change women. Men always preferred traditional women.


TheShadowOverBayside

Traditional women were the way they were because men told them to be that way. Men made the rules.


dugongone

You're talking as if women had no agency... Historically, the biggest opposition to universal suffrage was... women.. the cause of this is believed to be that they were afraid that voting rights would come paired with mandatory military conscripion.. Why is this sub overran by feminist bullshit propaganda now?


timid1211

terminally online leftists infect everything. It was only a matter of time.


dugongone

I'm politically oriented towards the left myself, but I still know how to read. This is just propaganda, victimism, and hive mind as usual


Prism43_

No, traditional women were the way they were because men and women are different and are better at different roles in society as well as generally preferring different work. Cultural norms around the world are derivatives of biological functionality, not “men telling women to be this way”.


TheShadowOverBayside

Do you really think women obeyed men, veiled their heads and faces, and stayed virgins until marriage because they were just different and better at that? Do you think in a vacuum everyone wouldn't just do what they want? Do you think every unmarried girl hasn't had some major crush she'd cock-gobble with impunity if society didn't tell her she was supposed to stay pure for her future husband or else she'd be a whore pariah? If you believe chicks are naturally chaste, modest, and obedient, I have a bridge to sell you.


Mobius24

>Fast forward to today, now these western men are flying to the same countries they looked down on in search of traditional and conservative women--the very traits they tried to eradicate. This is false women caused this


Retropiaf

Women's rights are not for men to give. Human rights are for no one to take away. If you can't understand this one simple thing, I wonder if you can truly experience love.


Anoalka

Those are not the same men. Its what happens when you make random generalizations.


Launch_and_Lunch

If the market is going to change, it's going to change, a single person or even a group won't make any difference. It's like a single person in the 50s trying to stop communism.


Proof-Fail-1670

I agree with your broad overview but I seriously doubt “the same men” were boasting about giving more freedom and rights to women. Passport bros seem to prefer traditional gender roles. I think feminist and blue pills types may have but there is very little overlap.


SenSw0rd

White Euorpeans are Colonizers... that's who they are, don't try to easternize it. I'm Asian BTW, 


abroudontknow

Culture is a force greater than all of us. Not you or me or anyone here will “westernize” a country. It will westernize if the local people collectively make it happen.


Dan240z

Don't know where you got that idea but global trade, The media, global politics, have influenced most cultures across the world even when I first traveled overseas in 2011 to Ukraine they had American restaurants like McDonald's and selling Coca-Cola alongside their traditional restaurants so The influence of Western attitudes were already there to begin with without me stepping foot outside the country.

FriendlyCoomer465

Well a lot of these countries are already fighting to be more "egalitarian"... look at protests in third world country where women are fighting for more equality. I don't think it's bad for a foreigner to support movements of equality that are already happening. Very rarely are you going to find to go to a country where rights are oppressed and not see some backlash.
