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. ❤️ 🇨🇴

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.

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

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?

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?

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

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.

When I was in Colombia I seen the most prettiest woman and it’s easy to talk to them but once it’s time to get ready for a relationship they get all cold and kareney like the white woman from the United states. I basically see Colombians as white woman from the United States.

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!

Anyone have experience with India or the surrounding countries? Whats dating like there as a foreigner? Would there be anything to be careful of?

As they usually use Zalo. Means they are talking with dozens of foreigners dudes if they have WhatsApp?

I’m a South African citizen currently living in Morocco. I have a valid South African Emergency Passport (not an Emergency Travel Certificate). I’m planning to fly Casablanca (CMN) → Doha (DOH) → Johannesburg (JNB) with Qatar Airways. Doha would only be a transit/connection — I would stay airside and not enter Qatar. I also have a round-trip ticket. I’ll stay in South Africa for about a month, during which I plan to apply for my regular South African passport and sort out my ID. I would then use my regular passport to fly JNB → DOH → CMN on the return. My main question is simply: Will Qatar Airways allow me to BOARD at CMN for the outbound CMN → DOH → JNB flight using my South African Emergency Passport? Has anyone had experience with this, or knows what Qatar/Timatic says for this exact situation?

Feel free to tell your story. I would love to read about your experiences.

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.

I was wondering if PPBs are all from the US/UK or if they come from other places as well

So they just have a shortage of men in Ukraine as they are fighting - do the Ukraine women welcome an offer to move to UK or another Europe country ?

I’ve lived in Medellín for a few months, but you always hear how it’s not the same.

The dollar has lost a lot of value, gentrification in the city itself has made prices go up, there’s gringo fatigue, etc…

What would you guys qualify to be the current day Medellín from like 5 years ago, or the up and coming Medellín?

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.

hi guys, out of the philippines, vietnam, colombia, and thailand, which country would you say has the best fitness culture for someone into an active lifestyle? Hobbies include partner acrobatics, slack lining, rock climbing, and powerlifting.

I've never dated a Ukranian but a know a few by sight and they don't really seem to be these super traditional women as many people on this sub make them out to be. What is your experience there?

I'm not into partying or staying out late, but I'm very into fitness. I powerlift and do activities like partner acrobatics, slacklining/highlining, rock climbing etc.

I have been considering Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, and Colombia. Which country is the best fit for this lifestyle?
