this is interesting to me, do you wanna elaborate a little because as a croatian living in sweden ive for a long time judged crotian culture a little for being "bakcwards" and compared it to sweden. But then recently ive gotten more in touch with my roots but not in an egoic way

People who grow up in this country without a single foreign language in their vocabulary are completely screwed in terms of development & education. The kids are all obsessed with video games and shockingly Immature YouTubers

The rest of the world is a much bigger place, therefore It's much more developed. Berlin and Madrid are literally almost bigger than Croatia itself.

Scandinavia's got healthy politics. The rest of Europe, United States and China have capitalism, strong industry, big populations, fucking amazing cities and night life, developed and unique cultures of their own.

Croatia, and realistically speaking... the Balkans have none of that. My love for bigger cities like Barcelona, Madrid, London and Dublin are practically limitless compared to Zagreb.

There's practically no racial, philosophical, ideological or perspectival diversity whatsoever. This is what bothers me most. Art is basically non existent besides music of course, and It's the tasteless kind of music that we have unfortunately. 

The numbers speak for themselves, Croatia has lost 10% of It's population in a decade. Now imagine 50-100 years.

That being said, I've met some great Croatians, just not as often or as many great people from other countries. Maybe It's just me.

Sweden's great, I'd like to visit soon but I postponed my trip because I gained interest in other countries. I swear these Spanish and Brazilian girls are made out of memory foam. so squishy and bouncy. ?

I live in Asia and from what I see there are always men who complain about women being too feminist.

These type of men usually have general bitter approach towards women, undercover misogyny, lazy and miser mentality, certain that they are the "shit", don't like to work too hard and also not very socially intelligent in general. 

They pay money to bring women from estearn European countries. Usually, at some point, what happens is that these women start to feel resentment towards these men because they bad with women in general and no money can compensate on that. If a man can't attract and keep woman in his home country, the problem is in him and no matter what women he would try to pursuit from other countries, the problems will repeat themselves.

I know some stories like that who ended bad, in one of them the woman killed her "husband" because he brought her from a poor country and sexually exploded her for years only because she had no power and he could do that. She couldn't bear this anymore.

From my impression, these men want a human sex toy, a slave, a submissive agent and no real relationship with a woman.

The irony is that many Americans come here to look for a bride thinking the same about the women here: that they are more cute and feminine and not very feminist, while some of the local men here think that the women are too feminist here and are looking for women from eastern European countries or other more poor countries like Thailand.

Lol.

It's all a matter of power, they don't like women having equal power or any kind of power. They are attracted to powerless women who have no choice but to be dependent on them.

Again, this is exactly what I mentioned, any time a guy wants to try dating abroad he gets demonized. I never said anything about exploiting or subjugating women, I agree if someone is doing that they are wrong. I even mentioned if a guy can’t get results in his home country not to use it as an escape. Just because I try dating abroad and don’t want to date extremists doesn’t mean I am trying to buy affection or hate women. I see women constantly talking about how they want a traditional man or a man that is wealthy to provide for them and no one ever tells them they are lazy and just want a wallet etc. You can have preferences without being exploitative. I have dated many feminists and women wealthier than me, that by itself wouldn’t be a problem for me if it didn’t tend to come with issues.

because america is such a huge, diverse country, with people ranging in political values and beliefs, it's hard for me to say that america as a whole is not good for dating

that being said cities do lean left so maybe majority of women might not fulfill your needs

that being said, how many girls do you need? 

and there are so many conservative women even in cities (at least in southern cities) and so many ppl that dont care about politics that this doesnt make sense to me

It’s not just about politics, that was just one issue among many. I have found women from the Midwest and smaller towns tend to be better, but in other ways it’s actually much harder in small towns because there are so few single women.

These same guys they hate, treat like shit, and say they would never date, ALSO guilt them that they are doing something bad and shouldn't leave to date abroad.

They are mad their wallets are leaving because it takes a quality moderately wealthy man to move abroad. They are projecting their insecurities, because they see men taking responsibility to improve themselves and their environment and know they aren't doing it themselves. Men create solutions for their issues and help each other, women lie and gaslight each other that they are all "queens" and there is never anything wrong with them. It's always something external.

@Raze Don't let them muddy the waters and fuck with your head. Put yourself, your values, principles, and beliefs first. Don't compromise because if you give them an inch, they take a mile.

Our culture is rotting and you are simply pointing it out. You still need a bulletproof vest though, because people always shoot the messenger for bringing truth.

Moving to a poorer country purely to get laid is usually a degenerate mindset IMO.

You are reshuffling your entire life to take advantage of the fact that women in poorer countries will see you as a ticket to a less poverty-stricken life. It works, but it's hard to make a high quality relationship out of that dynamic because of the exploitative nature of it.

It's even worse if you're doing it because you can't find women who like you in your home country.

There are exceptions to this for sure. It's not a hard rule. But I would argue that 90%+ of the dudes who travel to poorer countries wanting to get laid more easily are not people that you would want to spend much time around.

Your takes are ALWAYS the dumbest I've noticed this pattern.

Its not just about getting laid though ... It means lower cost of living, sense of adventure, prettier women who aren't fucking obese or there head chain smoking cigs every day. 

It means starting a family, getting away from feminism or masculine women.

Your take is overly simplistic and the judgement futile. Its a completely logical thing to do? lol you want guys to just accept their position and stay in the same place. You judge people because you get results in your country or you like your country, but that's you ... WHY are you judging another guys unique & sovereign erspective or choices, why? Because you're a dumbass as always.

Literally it's a free world imagine calling someone degenerate because they want to live in Columbia or Poland instead of the states lol, "stay where you belong kid" no fuck you dumbass.

They are the ones who treat women like a shit, they see women like objects and means to an end and then get surprised when women reject them.

In the past they could be toxic and immature as much as they would like to but today women are less likely to tolerate such behaviour.

You can hate women and feminists as much as you would like, but this cynical view that women don't want those men to have a successful dating life is a mere red pill bs. 

The only thing that matters is whether those men hurt and exploit other women from less fortunate places or not, this is a real female solidarity for you, when you have a feminist awarness, you want to protect other women from men with Ill intentions, and usually these men who seek brides in others countries do have ill intentions.

Unfortunately you are biased and project your distorted view on women.

 

[Lila9]

@Roy And how can you talk about male solidarity when men fight with each other for thousands of years during the history and destroy everything in their path? 

[Schizophonia]

White men who intentionally want to date non-white women are mentally ill.
Many are isolated, desperate, sometimes just plain crazy people, who believe that they cannot be loved by the white women they really esteem, as they have less esteem for non-whites this gives them, paradoxically, a feeling of enough influence to afford a more or less normal relationship, especially since the cultures of Asian and African shitholes condition these women to be diminished.

If you are travelling for adventure and you happen to meet a girl, that's one thing. If you the kind of guy who is travelling purely to get laid, that's another. I have met a fair few of those guys in the latter category and they were always insufferable and had an awful view of women.

Idk where you live, but there are plenty of feminine women who aren't obese chain smokers in every Western country in the world I've been to. Why aren't you going after them?

There are no shortage of feminine women in Western countries, they're just pickier and won't be entirely powerless and dependent on you to exist which is what it sounds like you are looking for when you say things like 'getting away from feminism'. See @Lila9's post.

It boils down to the idea that people do not want to do an insane amount of work for something which is considered a basic need.

Basics needs now are so easy to get that people become entitled to them.

Also it is getting harder for guys to get laid so when you have this basic need getting harder while the rest of basic needs are getting easier (food, shelter, water etc) the entitlement intensifies. 

In the past all basics needs were relatively hard while today there is a huge disbalance in difficulty between getting laid and the rest of the basics needs.

Because unlike other basics needs getting laid is a zero sum game, the rest are non-zero sum games.

I am all for improving yourself but when I hear Leo say you need to do 5000 approaches or otherwise your dating life will suck is extremely demotivating to most guys.

Imagine if I told you unless you went to the gym 6 times a week and had perfect diet for 15 years your body will look like shit. 

Reality is not like this.

If you want the dating life of a king then yeah you need to do 5000 approaches (or be famous) and if you want to look like a bodybuilder than yeah you need the 15 years of non stop training, however most people do not care about such insane results.

They are happy with decent results.

Wanting a non obese feminine girl is the equivalent of wanting not to be fat.

To you, this is the only thing that matters. The reason for that is that you're operating from a place of fear. And that's not feminine. Cuz feminine women operate from a place of love, which is the opposite of fear. 

This is not 'female solidarity'. There are women out there who don't hate men, who aren't all anti-male. We're talking about dating those women. Your 'female tribalism' is not welcome as it's an obstacle. For men and for women who love men. 

If you want to be anti-male, your opinion on how men date isn't based on reality. You deserve no credibility on this topic. 

And, one final point - there are other people in this world who have different agendas, different needs. And, if you're not willing to acknowledge their importance, you are being narcissistic. Other people also exist. The world does not revolve around your needs, your wants. Grow up.

What is wrong with taking the path of least resistance? It’s only natural to pursue your best option.

There absolutely is a shortage, especially if you have higher standards. It isn’t just me saying this, almost every guy I have seen who has tried dating abroad has said a similar thing, including every dating coach I listen too, some of whom have dated thousands and slept with hundreds of women in their home country, still choose to remain in the west and have a long term relationship with a western woman, they. STILL say this is also their experience, it isn’t just desperation.

Again, what makes you think a woman in a foreign country is “powerless and dependent on you”, that isn’t the case at all unless you are targeting such girls, but plenty of people do that in western countries as well.

1. I didn’t say the problem is feminists. Some feminists are fine, a lot of non feminists also have problems. I am just saying the general trend seems to be feminist influence makes a lot of women in western countries less desirable to date. That doesn’t mean they are all like that or that they don’t have other good qualities.

2. I didn’t say there is anything wrong with women seeking traditional men. My point is there is a double standard where whenever women like something or do something to improve their dating life it’s seen as ok or good, but when a man does, sometimes even the same thing, everyone she’s he’s a predator or loser. Ex. A woman says she wants to meet a wealthy man who can provide for her, no one says that’s a problem, but a man says he wants a much less wealthy woman he can provide for, basically just agreeing with her, everyone says he’s looking for someone to exploit with a power imbalance.

I think dating coaches and pickup people often have quite a warped idea of what femininity really is. They view it as more akin to being conservative and submissive which is not really true, or at least not the full picture. There is definitely a shortage of submissive women in Western countries but it's tough to argue that's a bad thing without looking like a knob.

Specifically poor foreign countries. No one has an issue with you going to Sweden to find a hot Swedish girl. The issue is when you are targeting countries like the Philippines as the reason dating is so much easier there for you is because you have the power of being perceived as a rich westerner.

This is a severe power dynamic.

Lets say you end up dating a girl in a poorer country, her mindset could easily become "I can't lose this man because he has given me a much wealthier life than I otherwise would be able to have" and that is very exploitative, as she then becomes powerless and dependent on you to maintain her life.

Just by going to a poor country with the intent to date you are planning on exploiting this dynamic.

The issue in this scenario is that the behavior is unethical, even if it was the path of most resistance but the outcome is unethical that would be just as bad.

Again, I never said anything about exploiting women, dating women abroad is not by default exploitative, it’s exploitative if you do something exploitative. That would be wrong regardless of where you do it, guys can exploit women in western countries too.

Or maybe you have a warped view of femininity and don’t know what it actually looks like. Femininity isn’t just a girl being a girl.

In western countries it’s actually very common for women themselves to be looking up resources on how to be more feminine. There are now tons of “femininity influencers”. I don’t know if what they teach is correct or useful, but the fact there is even a market for it indicates that women themselves feel they are too masculine.

You might say, just by the fact I am wealthier and foreign she might feel “hooked” and doesn’t want to lose me on the possibility of future resources. This is a pretty ridiculous standard to call exploitation though. All women look for the best option they can get, many women outright will not date a guy who isn’t significantly wealthier than them. By this logic the more someone becomes a desirable mate the more they exploit women because the less they would want to lose them and the more they’d tolerate. A wealthy man could not ethically date anyone who earns less than them by this standard because they might not want to lose a potential resource. 
Everyone is “leveraging power” when dating. Many beautiful women say they only date men below their league because the men will tolerate more and give them more stuff because they don’t want to lose the hottest woman they can get.

Most guys do not like to clean or cook. They prefer to outsource that to women and they pay for their meals and drinks, especially if they have money.

In general roles are more divided in conservative societies and men prefer that because they get a better deal out of it.

In feminist societies women get the better deal.

The world doesn't revolve around my needs, you are not the first one to tell me that, that's clear for me since age 0, because I'm a woman and I know that I'm not supposed to have any needs (or opinions) because it's not important, only the needs and opinions of men are important, no?

It doesn't matter if you explicitly lead with money or not. Your implicit difference in wealth is a foundational brick upon which the relationship would be built. If this were not the case it would not be so much easier for Western men to date women in poor countries.

It's not crazy to call that exploitation. You know this dynamic exists and you go to a poor country to exploit it for easier sex. It is the definition of exploitation.

Agreed. It's just significantly worse when you're doing this kind of stuff in a poor country because the power/wealth difference is potentially so much more extreme.

Relationships based on monetary exchange or power dynamics are unhealthy no matter where they happen. You should not be looking for such a relationship if you want it to be long and healthy.
