What are y'all thoughts on the "Passport Bros"?

I've been seeing this as some sort of movement all over the internet, and people are going insane. I think it's a good thing, but it's also something to be wary of.

It's an exploitative and toxic trend.
Evident by philippinian marriage practice where women who want to be free from traditional and societal chains in their homeland seek out relationships with western men who then replicate the traditional stereotypes they tried to escape from.

@Gloomy You do know that it's not always involving the Philippines, right? And it's not just marriages that's been going around.

@xSiFiGamer2016x You do know that I used the Philippines as an example right?
and even in relationships expecting women from more partriarchal societies, who often do not choose to be "tradwifes" to conform to a mans ideal of a subservient woman is problematic.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy So, what would be your solution then?
Gloomy · F
@xSiFiGamer2016x For guys to finally leave the mindest of the middle ages and realize that women don't fit into roles, aren't subservient and are individual human beings with our own personalities who don't owe men anything and are their equal.

You and men with similar mindsets expect power hierarchies in a relationship.

@Gloomy you hit a good point there. Men wanting women from patriarchal societies as they feel they’re losing their dominance in their own… kinda makes me laugh.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy Giving the time here on this planet, in this country, it's sad that dating is dying if not dead already. Men want to be chivalrous, and have done so, but no rewards come after. I believe it's dead.

There are still men out there who will find that wife though, but for how long? Safe to say that being single is the best route and not worry about marriages overall. Even for my own standards, I probably won't meet one woman who will understand it.
Gloomy · F
@xSiFiGamer2016x Dating isn't dying only transforming and you aren't willing to accept that and maybe just don't want to give up control. You obssess over what you percieve to be a mans role.
What rewards and why do you speak for men in general?
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy Because I know what it's like to be not good enough. But you know what, it's fine. Not everything is done, but I keep pushing. That's just life, and being single is a part of it if dating women isn't worth investing.

@xSiFiGamer2016x 🤦‍♀️ Have you ever thought about just respecting women?
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy Yeah, I have. For a long time. And just because I don't post it on here, doesn't mean I don't respect women. That's the problem and the confusion that people are getting at. Call me an incel (again), but I care for women.

My own mother helped me. She's the only woman I have in my life who taught me how to respect women. If that doesn't show gratitude, then I don't know what will.

If you knew me outside of this website, you'd understand.
Gloomy · F
@xSiFiGamer2016x So you only act like an incel on here? Also Incels defending their mothers while attacking other women is quite common.

The sad part is the attitude you share on here is exactly the reason why relationships probably don't work out for you.
@Gloomy I don’t think these women are trying to escape traditional roles so much as just trying to escape poverty.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy The attitude had nothing to do with my past relationships, so who are you to judge? And you mentioned the word, not me. But have you seen me attack other women in my lifetime? No. It's the complete opposite. I've had relationships before, and I was a nice person to all of them. One thing I picked up was that I was just that: nice. And because I was nice, relationships ended. It couldn't be my fault, and I thought that girls like nice guys. Man, was I wrong...

But it doesn't mean I'm a bitter person like you think I am, let alone an incel.
Gloomy · F
@xSiFiGamer2016x I judge you based off the posts you make on here so if you don't want to be percieved as an incel don't make posts that give off that impression and there is no such thing as "girls like..." we are all individuals with different ideas of a relationship
Gloomy · F
@LeopoldBloom that depends on location but it often is one and the same.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy I'm sure we all have ideas in relationships, likes and dislikes included. And if you find my posts disturbing or whatever, don't look at them.
Gloomy · F
@xSiFiGamer2016x if I see problematic takes I will always call them out. You never responded to my detailed reply on your post in which you attempted to make the argument of how essential men are.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy Am I not allowed to talk about problems? And it ain't just men that are essential, but from what you've seen that's all you know from me, or most. 🤷🏾‍♂️
Gloomy · F
@xSiFiGamer2016x So stop making dumb incel arguments. On SW we can only judge based on posts so you have to deal with that.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy Well, I might as well be just be an incel to you. Easier said than done. 🤷🏾‍♂️
@xSiFiGamer2016x [quote] And because I was nice, relationships ended [/quote]

xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@BritishFailedAesthetic That's a belief that some will perceive me as such, but I'm not gonna let that bother me. They don't know me outside of this site. They'll keep guessing for years. 🤷🏾‍♂️
Gloomy · F
@xSiFiGamer2016x It's not about guessing on SW you spread incel talking points that's all that matters in interactions on this site. Who you are outside of here has little baring online and if you indeed are no incel why present yourself as such online?
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Gloomy That's just the difference between here and the real world. So again, think what you want. 👌
@xSiFiGamer2016x Look the reason women left you wasn't because you're a "nice guy" it was because they couldn't see you as being compatible with themselves long term.

You need to enjoy the experience of dating different women- I would suggest a pause at the moment though as you have quite a toxic attitude to women.

Women don't owe men anything- women are owed equal opportunities and pay in the workplace though.
