Not just about money. It's logic. There's no need to go through the challenges of long distance relationship, inter-cultural relationship, language barrier and migration headaches if there is no obvious upgrade in her life. Hence you will see these women demanding a premium for those inconveniences. Good looking guys are everywhere, but rich men who want to marry and settle are not, so the latter naturally becomes the preferential premium she seeks. The same woman is not all gold digging, and can accept an average looking local guy who is not rich. Put an average local guy and an average foreign guy side by side, the local guy wins hands down due to familiarity and culture similarity. Put an average local guy and an extremely rich foreign guy, the rich guy wins.droid wrote:Well, that's kind of the point Lol.romparoo wrote:All foreign women who want foreign men, set out looking for one.
But you're making the usual generalization that it's just for money or whatnot, but as many have posted already western looks/style/demeanor are exotic/attractive to some foreign women.
Great points about middle class lifestyle/culture and media access spreading all over the world. Although i don't think we're quite all the way there yet as you say, the clock is ticking...
Why accept an average local guy, if you ask? I did mention that foreign women are not drastically different. Of course they aren't. But the social systems are very different. In most other countries, there is little safety net. There is no big government subsidising bad life choices. The social and economic landscape is more competitive. So having a relationship is by itself a safety net.
About the exoticness of foreigners, unfortunately, far too many terps have already been to all corners of the world. You are actually guilty until proven otherwise.
