40% of women here want to permanently leave America! (poll)

[Anonymous]

Have you heard this recently?

What I want to know is: is this going to lower home prices in the dmv ?

Where would they go? I'm not from the US and the only place I'd gladly move to is Canada.

What about like all of Europe? Or Australia ?

I mean, my brother and his family moved to Germany and my nephews are thriving there. I am definitely a bit jealous.

I think 40 percent is high and sounds inaccurate, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is an increase.

I'm part of that 40%, but I'm stuck here. Just because we want to doesn't mean we're going to.

Promises, promises, promises.

I do think about it often. It's logistically challenging and my DH is not on board (though he gets closer every year, I think).

There are just a lot of things about American culture that will never change and such a negative for my well being. I know other countries have cultural issues that I wouldn't like either, I just find those issues less alarming than some of the American issues (mostly gun culture and individualism/capitalism taking to what I believe to be an unhealthy extreme).

I also sometimes think I've been American for too long to make it work somewhere else. Like I should have emigrated in my 20s but now I'm in my 40s and even when I dont' like it, I embody an American ethos that won't work elsewhere.

I don't know. Sometimes it sucks here. Some things are great, better than anywhere else. Some thing are not.

BTDT on Europe and I would not move back. Australia is so far and not without its issues. I feel like people answering these polls are often not serious or pragmatic.

Read the article. It dropped from 44% in 2024 to 29% in 2025. That’s the read story

That sounds like a BS poll to me.

There are and people constantly bring this up, but having spent years abroad in Europe and Latin America i find I take those things less...personally? There is a disconnect mentally that whatever that dysfunction looks like it isn't really mine as a foreigner, I don't own it in the same way as American issues. Anyway, I wish DH would get on board because I am definitely due for some time out.

Either would be a step backwards as far as personal rights.

European governments give better rights than ours
