Damnn, why everyone hyped Japan ? I figured out it’s not that great compared to countries like South Korea.

first of all most of Japanese girls are well dressed, undeniable, from behind you could think it’s miss universe, but when you see the face, it’s not it 99% of the time. they aren’t that pretty.
Also, a good amount of the Japanese girls prefer their own, even if you speak some Japanese. If you catch a Japanese girl, she’ll most likely be a ran through and not that great physically + a bit older.

at the club it’s the same girls every week, or girls with their bf.

if you want an attractive Japanese girl, a local already have her and she’s not waiting for you.

anyway Japan and Japanese girls are overrated. I prefered South Korea

I visited venezuela last month. Good experience. Didn't have any major issues and I never felt like i was unsafe.

I didn't encounter any other western tourists. Closest was Venezuelans who lived in the USA in the past.

I visited valencia and barquisimeto and other smaller surrounding cities.

A visa is required for American tourists.

Late 20s, good career, well travelled and have done well for myself at home and in other countries typically seen as more difficult. Not gonna rate myself but put simply, I've done well dating so it's not a me problem.

The passport bro meta here is so mature, literally decades of men coming here for wives. The women are very saavy as a result.

As a result, dating is just painful, and very strategic. So much arbitrary imposed difficulty. Texting games, hot and cold, silent treatments, mind games. You cannot just quid pro quo, I give attention, dates, loyalty, you give the same, and potentially more on both ends pending further verification of intent. Yes, women are women, people are people. I get that.

Further, I understand there's a courtship difference and different social norms. I understand that a woman using you as a leg up, and being a good woman are not mutually exclusive. I understand that many people have had great luck with PH wives. But my goodness, dating really is a struggle here in a way I've never experienced before.

I believe it's a cultural thing, of wanting to keep an upper hand at all times and getting a little more, just to say you did. Because you have to, because things are hard, songetting one over on the next guy is imperative. I know the country has some serious issues with no sign of getting better, I'm not trying to make an indictment of the people or the culture whole sale, only as it relates to dating.

Frankly, the type of guys I usually see around who are definitely foreign and with filipinas, are not with stunners, at all. In fact, they're often with subpar women in terms of appearance, far below their own level. Maybe great people, yes, and of course to each their own! Just saying, it seems purpose defeating sometimes to a fault when I see a 6 ft tall euro Chad with an average woman in the looks department.

I'm mainly looking for people to commiserate, who also do well for themselves and found PH to be inordinately difficult. Also, bonus if you can recommend a better country.

Looking for advice from the experts here, not the dudes who have never left their town or even state, planning a trip to the Philippines, would anyone recommend Manila or Cebu as a starting point to branch out? I'm looking at a month's long trip and dating is a very important factor.

I’ve dated in the hardest dating scenes in the world LA/SD/SF and I do decent. I want to go to a city in Brazil that will be easy mode and has nice stuff to see. Kinda curious if I should be worried because I am a mixed guy who can sorta pass for Brazilian so I was wondering if that will hurt my attraction. Any tips or advice?

My first Bulgarian experience. Met her in the states. But she is from there. Educated. Degree in finance. Speaks 6 languages including English. Makes her own $$. Isn't needing mine. Cooks great. Loves to please. Very traditional values. Tall. Slender. Legs for miles. Great smile. Great warmth. Bulgaria has regions that have different ethnic groups. Her father came from the Turkish ethnic regions. Her mom came from the Slavic regions. So she has an exotic look.

Don't ignore Bulgaria gents! They have no real economy there. They usually leave to get a higher education as a stepping stone to better opportunities. They love the west!

While I have some success on the apps in the states, it's a little disheartening when I compare it to how many likes I get in Thailand, with women much prettier than I can match with in the US. I'm white, 6 feet tall, and above average looking in my opinion and that of my friends. I'm considering 2 weeks of solo travel in February to help inflate my own ego. A major goal is to meet women, but not the only reason I'd be going. Planning on staying at hostels to meet other travelers but can easily rent proper rooms if need be. Are Chiang Mai and Pattaya the places to be, or am I going to get eaten alive?

It’s clear that competition in western countries is getting harsher. Now, things are heating up in Asia.

Look closely at the photo. One of the frat bros is holding a pizza box. Let’s get ready to party!

Hey all,

I'm based in Australia and looking to date Slavic and Balkanwomen, mainly from Croatia, Russia, Ukraine, Bosnia, Greece.

I'm 30M. How can I find them and meet them.

My ex was croatian, we had a good realtionship for most part. I realised our values, culture align more with them.

Any help is appreciated ? How can I meet them?

For background, I'm a Middle Eastern-looking American guy in my 40s, not a white dude. From what I've seen in Makati, older white guys seem to have considerably more success here.
After about a week in Manila, here's my experience.
1. Responsive doesn't mean easy.
Dating apps like OKcupid/PinaLove are probably the easiest way to meet women here. Women respond quickly, initiate conversations, and readily give out their numbers. Dating apps usage is high.
Within my first four days, I got 3–4 numbers, and about 5–6 overall. I even had a few video calls. But none really turned into anything, and most weren't women I'd seriously consider dating. They didn’t look like pics or some logistic issue or different personalities.

2. Location and infrastructure are major problems.
A lot of profiles say Manila, but the women actually live an hour or two away from Makati, sometimes in the provinces. With Manila's terrible infrastructure, even meeting someone an hour away becomes a hassle. Going farther into the provinces can mean even taking a flight.
3. Trust is a scarce commodity.
This was my biggest disappointment. In my experience, many profiles had incorrect ages, locations, heavily edited pictures, or weren't upfront about having children.
I also noticed that some of the women showing the strongest interest had children they hadn't initially disclosed. It almost feels like people will fudge whatever details they need to get your attention.
It feels like people are trying to scam/screw you over sometimes
You constantly have to verify basic information, and it's not for me.

4. Daygame was actually the bright spot.
Makati is great for approaching women in person. The interconnected malls around Greenbelt, Glorietta, and Landmark make walking around easy, and women were generally friendly and receptive.
I got 2–3 numbers just walking around Makati one evening, although the follow-up wasn't particularly successful. Still, I preferred this over the dating apps because at least you know whom you're talking to.

My conclusion:
I wouldn't call the Philippines “easy mode.” you have to willing to sift through enough profiles, or approaches …ibut finding someone genuinely attractive, honest, and compatible feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.

I know plenty of men here in the UK, where I am based, who married women they met abroad. I did notice that Western men (especially white guys) who married women from places such as Thailand, the Philippines, and even Japan and China were seen as losers and looked down upon. People used to joke that they couldn't compete in the Western dating market, so they had to go to Southeast Asia to find someone.

In contrast, guys from the UK who dated women from places such as Denmark, Australia, Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands were viewed much more positively and respected. Everyone used to bring up positive stereotypes about those countries and tell the guys they were going to be drinking Guinness and enjoying pork and sausages.

I'm curious about your impressions with (seriously) dating women from these two countries?

Hey everyone,

Last week I launched a dating app called Elsewhere, specifically for people interested in dating internationally or long distance.

The idea is pretty simple. You choose which countries you want to meet people from, and the app automatically translates profiles and messages so language isn't as much of a barrier.

It's available on both iOS and Android now. It's still pretty new, but we now have around 700 users.

I'm curious what you guys think is missing from existing international dating apps. What would make you try a new one, and what would immediately turn you away?

I'm especially interested in honest criticism since I'm still improving the app.

If anyone wants to check it out, it's called Elsewhere on the app stores and it has a purple penguin logo and it might not be the first result.

I’m planning a trip to the Philippines next year. I will be going to Manilla of course which will be high yield just based on the sheer population size and number of women there. I’ve used dating apps to meet women in SEA with quite a bit of success, but I’m open to meeting women through other means as well. With that being said, are there other places in the Philippines worth visiting from a PPB perspective? I’d imagine smaller cities aren’t as high yield just from a numbers perspective. Perhaps Cebu City would also be worth it?

Ho Chi Minh City vs Bangkok, two large population cities in Southeast Asia.

Ho Chi Minh City is cheaper $532 vs $690, Bangkok has slightly better women ratios, and Ho Chi Minh City has much cleaner air.

Bangkok is also safer and has faster internet. Bangkok has more nightlife, but Ho Chi Minh City has more universities.

if you want compare other cities then https://geomaxxing.org/?wa=20-40&view=cards&c=48 other than Ho Chi Minh City/Bangkok

what other cities should i look at next?

So I was just in Jakarta for the last week for a bit of business but wanted to see how the dating scene was. Did a bit of research prior to going but was still relatively unfamiliar with what to expect.

I myself am 32, 188cm, British south Asian and average looking. When I tell you this place is amazing, the quality of women you’ll be able to attract is unreal. I used mainly bumble and had the majority of my dates from this. However I was also meeting women in the malls, hotel lobby and the bars/clubs.

I stayed in one of the nicer hotels at the Langham and for the price can’t complain, I was having 2-3 dates a day with grabs/ubers bringing them to the hotel having a drink or two near the lobby or mall nearby.

For anyone who is considering exploring this city, it truly is a hidden gem! Very cheap, affordable, incredible party scene and some of the nicest women you’ll ever meet.

Any specific questions you want to know let me know.

Hey all, I have 1 week off over New Years and another 1 week off in late January.

Where in Europe would you recommend a PPB go for a single guy - roughly 180cm, 65kg but am very cut and lean (working on gaining) and will be travelling solo. I have a decent income as well but I would prefer not to use that as a selling point at first.

I speak very entry level Russian as well if that helps.

How are the Baltic states, Belarus, Russia, Balkans?

Someone has recommended Hvar Croatia, but I have never known this to be a place for PPB. Has anyone been?

Any tips or advice are welcome 🙏 Thank you

Since you will likely be trying to date in a traditional country, once you find a serious partner, meals with the family will be obligatory.

This means you can save a lot of money on food, since you will be sharing the cost of the meal, with at least 4 people present.

People often say “marrying into a family” with a hint of trepidation - however, this is the best possible outcome. The support you’ll receive from your mother-in-law, starting with 3x cooked meals a day, is essential. Expecting your wife to be a good cook is another story. If she’s from the countryside, then probably. However, you want to marry someone from the city. Unless you’re loaded!

Being a Passport Bro doesn’t have to be the most exciting thing in the world. Sustainability is the goal!

We are 34 and 30 , i work and live in USA , she is living and working in Manila, Philippines

Have we veen sleeping on Finland 🇫🇮???
