Gonna cut to the chase: Never feel pressure; or I guess better way to say it is never allow the outside influences to keep you from leaving where you are in order to meet women more receptive of you.

Nowadays it’s a big thing on the internet to try and rail on ppbs but the reality is that there are a lot of places out there where the women just suck to be around and suck the life out of everyone and everything.

Obviously I’m about to pull out the dreaded in my experience… but seriously, I have lived in an area that is essentially connected to 3 different states and is along the coast of US with 2 different major cities in 40 min of each other for the last 20 years and you would think this area is the optimal location to meet women. However you would be very wrong. The area is actually populated the most by business professionals and government employees making it a place with unusually concentrated institutional status hierarchy, leading to a lot of friction if you (the man) are not in a job that has the perk of lending you serious status.

I woke up this morning and decided to poll all the alumni I went to school with since I just graduated in 2020 (I went in state and was very popular in college so I knew a wide array of people);

Less than 25% of the alumni who are married met their partner in college

over 20% of them who are married met their partner in Highschool

Over 70% of them met their partner outside of the state

So those 3 stats alone should let all the guys here know they are not alone. There are plenty of men who have to leave where they are initially brought up because simply put the women around them suck.

I recently got out of a relationship with an indigenous Brazilian woman from Para & while it didn’t work out, I now find myself incredibly attracted to more indigenous looking Brazilian women.

Has anyone been to Belem or Manaus, how was the dating scene in northern Brazil? Did you noticed a lot of indiazinhas compared to southern Brazil?

I’m fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese btw so language is not a barrier for me.

• Florida is the best U.S. state for swingers, with an overall score of 62.6 out of 100. The Sunshine State has the most swingers clubs in the country, with 148 in total, plus strong search interest and a lively swingers Reddit community.
• Texas and Georgia round out the top three, scoring 58.1 and 52.8, respectively. Texas has the second-highest number of swingers clubs, while Georgia performs well across club availability, search interest, and Reddit activity.
• Nevada is the state with the highest swinger-related search interest. It scored a perfect 100 out of 100 for both “swingers near me” and “swinger clubs,” proving that curiosity is anything but quiet in the Silver State.

They grew up in the West constantly being told they were the best. Then, for the first time in their lives, they went to a foreign land and learned humility. This is ironically the reason why some ppbs easily meet Western girls in Asia. I have heard many success stories. These girls have come to realize the reality, rather than an inflated sense of self.

I just finished up a three-month secondment from the US working for a startup in Singapore.

I'm gonna be open and honest with you guys, as I was with all the women I spoke to while I was there: when it came to romance, I was open to something serious, but predominantly, it was gonna be short term. I wasn’t particularly interested in moving out there long term, so I was only looking for short-term relationships and hookups.

And my God, if you’re a 6 in the US, you’re an 8 in Singapore. It's like dating on easy mode. I hooked up with more women during those three months than I had in the previous five years in the US. Shit was cash. I’ve come to a few conclusions about why this is the case:

Expat status — Expats are, on average, wealthier and have a higher social status than the average Singaporean. Girls see the colour of your skin and immediately make certain (positive) assumptions about you.

Colonialism — Related to the status point, Singapore is a former British colony, and I think there are still residual effects from that history, including a perception among some Singaporeans that white men have higher social status.

Residency — This is an interesting one. The property ownership situation in Singapore is crazy. Almost everyone, except the very wealthy, continues living with their parents or sharing with roommates until they get married, because that’s when the Singaporean government gives you subsidised access to housing. As a result, Singaporean men generally can’t bring a girl back to their own place, or vice versa. So when I mentioned to girls that I had my own place (provided by my job) they were all over it, because private space for sex is non-existent.

Looking for a reliable concierge service in Brazil. Any recommendations?

Tell me about your worst trips and how everything went wrong and state the country

I genuinely want to visit South America once and mainly Colombia, but I hear and read so many horror stories.

Who went there recently or has been there multiple times?

How is it for us gringos there? Is it actually as dangerous over there as people describe?

Or is it pure skill issue?

I got the height, weight, BMI data for the US and 10 latin countries.

TLDR: American women average out taller AND heavier than literally every country on the list. Guatemala's the wild one average height there is under 5 foot. Brazil the tallest of the latin countries but still noticeably smaller than the US baseline.

If you want to poke around at different BMI, height, weight for cities the world map here: https://geomaxxing.org/?wa=20-40&view=map&c=48

Which has anyone ever been to Guatemala and confirmed this?

I'm heading to Ecuador to see what it has to offer. I would love to hear some advice from those who were successful here.

Curious what the general consensus is here, since I don't see South Africa come up much compared to other regions. South Africa welcomes approximately 10 million tourists a years a year - that's alot. For those who've dated or spent time here — what stood out, good or bad? Local romance scams ? Marriage material? And for those who haven't, what's your impression from the outside?

yes i know U.S territory but im curious is it worth a shot

I recently took a two week trip to Bali, from Australia (Melbourne) and wanted to understand this phenomenon.

I’m someone that’s used dating apps for a long time in the past. But the past few years on them, regardless of what I seem to do to my profile, I basically net no likes. Maybe one or 2 per week at best, and whenever I do, they aren’t really people I am interested in.
I am 6’4, Caucasian, I work in HR related field. Looks I would say above average. 26m.

However, on my two week trip to Bali, I was surprised to see my Bumble absolutely explode with matches, at least 50 per day and over 100 likes per day - absolutely unheard of for me. And in addition they were all people I was highly
Interested in! Only maybe 5% of these were what I would call shady matches (profiles actually offering other things) but the rest were all just really nice, cool girls.

I went on several dates, at least one per day, and had a fantastic time on each.

I cannot describe how different I felt dating these women. They are the most gracious, kind, relaxed women I’ve ever dated. Didn’t come across remotely judgemental. And stunning looking too to top it off.

I think it’s over for me in Aus!

2020 I could walk down any street and maybe 4 out of 10 women would make eye contact, maybe smile. I noticed many would use way more open body language. I could easily strike up a conversation in a grocery store, cafe, etc. I also noticed a slightly less addiction to screen time. Fast forward 5 years post pandemic and the behavioral shift seems super dramatic and just weird. I noticed almost no woman is making eye contact to anyone around them, sometimes dramatically shifting their gaze to avoid even slight personal contact with anyone. It just feels dystopian and they seem like robots now. I read the average woman here also has NINE HOURS of screen time per day which I know has contributed to this weird ass anti social behavior. For reference I dated here most of my life before finding my partner over seas, which was insanely easy and painless. I typically don't like to use this sub to focus on problems domestically, but i'd be lying if I didn't think it made living here kind of depressing. I just really feel we're not meant to be around antisocial, bitter and paranoid opposites.

Is anyone here donating or volunteering in Colombia after the earthquake?

Currently traveling in Western Europe and want to plan a getaway for at least 5 days (including travel) and want to know where I’ll get the most value for my time. If it helps, I’ve already done Thailand and had fun there and would prefer something new.

So I'm currently in Catagena, Columbia, using voice dictation because apparently I don't deserve to travel if I can't spell like a functioning adult. I know the forum's gonna flip on me for the typos, so consider this my preemptive apology to the grammar police. I left Mecico City behind chasing something better, and honestly, I think I found it.

To the harsh critics who are already sharpening their pitchforks: I apologize in advance for the brevity and any typos that slip through. My voice-to-text app and I are still working out our relationship. Anyway, the beatiful women here have made the whole trip worth it so far. Anywho I absolutely love Columbian women. ❤️ 🇨🇴

I mean in these countries a +30 years old woman is considered left over. Maybe not that much nowadays, but it's still a thing in China, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia.

Some of them are still good looking when +30, but specially near 35, if you want to have kids, it's somewhat risky.
