[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since there are quite a few men, on here and in the wild, [b]who seem to look abroad for romantic relationships and consider foreign or foreign-born women higher value.[/b] Since I can’t change my nation of birth, what lessons can I learn from foreign women (any nationality) that make them more appealing?

To address the stereotypes: I’m not fat or even close to it, I’m not bossy, I don’t *think* I act entitled although I can’t really judge that myself, I don’t rant about the “patriarchy,” I don’t have tattoos or blue hair, and I don’t think gender norms are inherently bad. [/quote]

I don't read this the same way. Stereotypically speaking, I think men look abroad for women b/c they're hoping to avoid some feature of dating in the US that hasn't been successful for them. Like they think a foreign woman would have lower standards than a woman from the US. Maybe they're less attractive and think someone from another country might be willing to overlook that detail for the opportunity to be with a man from the US. Maybe they really value a homemaker and someone who will defer to their guidance so they're looking for someone from a patriarchal society. It's not nice, but unless the man in question travels internationally for work or otherwise spends time abroad, my first thought is "mail order bride". [/quote]

Like that neckless man on 90 day fiancé [/quote]
