Is International Dating For Losers?

Eh, if you were a simp you could marry some used up old hag.

Yeah, and leaving US for some Moldovan village just so you can touch a booby makes you a player?

Yes it does.

@Cornfed and I agree 100%. Yes you're a player and a big baller, because you actually did something to improve your life. Millions of people do nothing but talk.

Stick with the word "simp" and it's harder to argue against. A simp is defined by uneven investment in relationships and pursuit of relationships. Thus, a person who would go all the way around the world to chase women has, shall we say...a higher than average likelihood of being a simp.

The usage of the word "loser", tho, is questionable imo, what with the dating game the way it is. To focus on who is winning or losing at this broken game is kind of missing the point.

That would only apply if the situation in the West weren't so bad, so enduring even an average relationship in the West would, relatively speaking, make you more of a simp then travelling around the world.

Agreed on the last bit. Enduring the average relationship in the West is almost simping by definition. I just think there's plenty of room on the simping spectrum.

My new friend Cyrus from Las Vegas did a great video about why dating abroad and passport bros are not for losers. It makes a lot of good points.

I tend to subscribe to the sentiment that if you want to be able to date in your own country, but have to move to another country or completely different continent/culture to date, you are a loser (not an insult) or at least have to compromise.

Dating abroad, there is nothing wrong per se. If you enjoy that, I won't stop you. But how would you feel if all the food and land in your country was poisoned and forced to relocate to a whole different country just to not starve?

To be honest — and this too is not an insult but rather simply an honest observation — many people today are losers. People have gotten noticeably uglier in the last 20 years; many young men have low testosterone and are out of shape and mentally fragile (undoubtedly due to the myriad environmental toxins to which we are constantly exposed); social skills have declined considerably; and a significant subset of the population is addicted to videogames and the internet. Many people are objectively undesirable — far more than in previous generations.

If you can't compete in your own country but can do better for yourself in an easier foreign market, then why not? Some people might think that you're a loser, but if you pull it off you show far more versatility and determination than the true losers who merely complain on the internet about how they can't get a woman.

For me, going abroad was more about preference than fleeing from a poor dating culture back home. It's hard to like British girls of mediocre pulchritude (to put it mildly) when you've already been exposed to super-hot Brazilian babes with alluring exotic beauty and privileged booty genetics.
