There are many perspectives that come to mind in a sense that Americans by comparison to Europeans and people from East Asia will come off as passport bros because we're much more mobile. So large numbers of people in Europe and Northeast Asia they will live their entire lives within 10 miles of where they were born. So compared to that Americans are flexible and they're like passport bros always upping and moving in an increasingly fractious society right increasingly disconnected society where people carry multiple identities and there's less and less hoarding us together like what exactly do we have in common as you know what would discourage someone from pursuing a passport bro identity. Also men like adventure men like a challenge it's a little bit like joining the army or the navy that's why men often join the services join the the french foreign legion for adventure overseas and to meet foreign women or it's like becoming a missionary. So I think there are many ways leading a life and being a passport bro is you know one solid way of leading a life in a sense it's like the the mirror image opposite of being a woman who complains about gaslighting. So I notice a lot of American women today are complaining that you know men have been gaslighting them and they're the victims of this patriarchal oppressive society and a man who becomes a passport bro lives overseas right he can't he can't afford to become a victim of gaslighting right he's on his own he's got to stand on his own two feet so standing on your own two feet in a foreign land where you likely have no family and no no preordained friends right you have to stand on your own two feet you have to make your way so this is only going to appeal to people who are well above average in intelligence well above average in psychological strength because it's daunting moving to a foreign land where you don't know people so this is going to appeal to you know some exceptional men who yearn for adventure who yearn for a taste of something different and yearn for a walk perhaps on the wild side so I don't think it's something that's just an abomination I don't think it's just something that's terrible I don't think it's something to decry now if people are primarily doing this for for the satiation of their their sexual desires then yeah I think that will tend to be a destructive path for them and for the people they encounter interacting women who would otherwise be settling down and having eight kids right the only type of woman who'll be attracted to a passport bro is a woman who's similarly adventurous I know from my life of dating I've been but I'm 58 so I've been dating for about 45 years all right I wasn't dating a lot of super mature women who really had their lives together I was dating women who were as you know screwed up and and as flawed and as anxious and as insecure and you know as you know struggling to make their way in the world as I was so the the passport bro is not going to be after cast a spell over these these foreign women and manipulate them against their will now for the accusations of exploitation it's a little bit like or the accusations of running a sweatshop or some foreign company going over into a third world nation and exploiting the labor well what are the alternatives for the people in the foreign nation so we hear that the united fruit company did all sorts of horrible things to people in Guatemala well to the best of my knowledge the united fruit company didn't need to take people out at the point of a gun to make them work for united fruit company it was simply the best of their options and so if women in foreign countries choose to settle down or to attach themselves or to date and go to bed with passport bros I'm going to assume that they're these passport bros are the best of their options
