I'm a passport bro. Ask me anything.

MasterTeacher123 · 2023-05-19T13:39:30+00:00

Are you actually trying for bring any of these girls back or your just smashing for that weekend?

Do you go in a group?

the-lone-squid · 2023-05-19T14:01:46+00:00

How much does a place on the beach cost? How is the crime rates??

I don't even care about da gurlz, I just want a beachy retirement

satisfiedmind- · 2023-05-19T14:34:49+00:00

If you meet a long-term partner what will you do when she ages?

Do you have friends and family back home? What do they think of it? Do they know why you’re there?

HazyMemory7 · 2023-05-19T13:39:31+00:00

Why'd you choose the phillipines and vietnam?
What was your experience with women like over there compared to where you're originally from presuming it's in the west?

neetykeeno · 2023-05-19T15:04:20+00:00

You're in your mid fifties. What's your plan for when most of the people you were related to or close to in the USA have died or drifted out of contact and you become frail aged, vulnerable and easily exploited in a foreign country?

MarBitt · 2023-05-19T13:45:22+00:00

How old were the women in the Philippines and Vietnam that you had a relationship or sex with?

Are you in a long-term relationship now? Who is your partner and are you thinking about remarrying?

obviousredflag · 2023-05-19T13:46:03+00:00

What happened in your life, that the passport-bro lifestyle became worth it for you despite all the drawbacks? Or does your special circumstances make you prefer life in Vietnam/Phillipines over life in the west, regardless of availability of (young) women to you?

DickTurtle1804 · 2023-05-19T13:52:30+00:00

How much money was required to do this and how did you fund it?

Holden_Frame · 2023-05-19T18:10:03+00:00

Have you tried Thailand as well?

It seems like that's the other one of "The Big 3" in terms of SEA.

Thailand appeals to me most in that:

The women seem to be the prettiest / most feminine in SEA
There is immense natural beauty in the country
There is obviously no shortage of nightlife / partying
They actually have an awesome car scene there

Obvious Cons seem to be:

Prostitution in one form or another is basically the norm in cities there, and that could get depressing
The insane amount of text-book, fat, old, balding sex-pats roaming the streets in flip flops and shorts is kind of embarrassing to be associated with
LB's

In Ph and Viet,

Have you found groups of other westerners there that you can hang out with?
Has internet speed been an issue for remote work?
How easy is it to get stuff from amazon delivered when you need it?
Which girls, on average, do you find more attractive and why?

Thanks!

What lead you down the path to become a passport bro? What's the background story?

Meihuajiancai · 2023-05-19T14:36:23+00:00

I lived in East Asia for over a decade. In probably 2009 I was vacationing in the Philippines and met a guy from Chicago, probably about 30 at the time. He received an inheritance from his grandfather that would pay about $1,000 a month for the rest of his life. He visited a few locations, Thailand and Costa Rica for sure, but he settled on White Beach in Mindoro. That thousand dollars paid for his flat on the beach, a seasonal trip to Manila, a trip home once a year, dining out for virtually every meal, all the booze he could drink, cell phone, internet, etc. For him and his girlfriend. I can definitely see the appeal if you don't really have any ambition in life.

My question is, do prefer bigger cities or smaller towns? Is your preference the same in both Vietnam and the Philippines?

MarBitt · 2023-05-19T13:48:33+00:00

How well can you speak Filipino or Vietnamese? Do you need those languages to communicate?

Celt31 · 2023-05-19T15:36:01+00:00

Good on you. Life is short and if you know what you want, get it. I'm an American woman who has never been particularly into American men so almost exclusively dated Western European men. I now live in Europe and it's amazing!

Haunting_Syllabub617 · 2023-05-19T17:16:13+00:00

No questions, I’d just like to point out how OP is an attractive, working, respectful, and older man searching for something stable but still having his fun overseas.

Most of the women he engages with do not want him for money. And he does not see his engagements with them as transactional. He’s even been engaged several times and plans to return to his home with a wife.

This is very different from most of the passport-hopefuls I hear/read about. Going across the world didn’t mitigate the need to be attractive, independent, and respectful. Just food for thought - if one’s application of this technique doesn’t work, it may be because you thought you could drop your game, but clearly you can’t.

I appreciate the hustle and hope it works out for you OP.

JumboJetz · 2023-05-19T15:16:08+00:00

Ever had 2 chicks at the same time?

wtknight · 2023-05-19T13:58:02+00:00

In general, how do Filipina and Vietnamese women compare to the women from your native country in terms of what you are looking for in an ideal partner?

Time-Horror58 · 2023-05-19T17:59:50+00:00

I am sorry if this question will come across as offensive to the culture but why is it so common to see old white men +young asian women together?

But not the vice versa...like old asian men+ young white women?

Also why do Asian women so commonly date outside of their race?

InjectAdrenochrome · 2023-05-19T18:49:15+00:00

How realistic is being a passport bro for men who are younger, say 24-29, 30-39? Is it cost prohibitive?

Also, are there decent remote jobs for digital nomads available?

tio_mio_1999 · 2023-05-19T13:44:33+00:00

Are you the stereotypical fat, bald, old Westerner who walks around night bars? Or are you just retired in a small peaceful village on the beach with his LTR gf?

VehementlyDrawn · 2023-05-19T15:31:58+00:00

How do you rate your looks out of 10, and what about the women you get overseas?

AshxInfernape · 2023-05-19T15:48:23+00:00

What do your days look like as a passport bro? Where are you living now?

NegativeEntr0py · 2023-05-19T16:04:13+00:00

Do you consider yourself red pilled?

Over_North8884 · 2023-05-19T16:50:14+00:00

Would you recommend it to young, highly educated men with little dating succes in their native country? I live in the Netherlands, and I feel like I am missing out on the dating here. Plus I really want to go abroad anyway to gain some life experience.

kitaeks47demons · 2023-05-19T21:26:55+00:00

did you bareback all of the women you slept with ?

karmafrog1 · 2023-05-20T11:03:42+00:00

Reading this in the Philippines, a man of similar years, will be very curious to browse this thread.

Over_North8884 · 2023-05-20T12:10:30+00:00

Thanks for the post, interesting read- I’ll be joining you in a couple of years. I just want a peaceful life near the sea, a boat, a fishing rod and a beer.

We used to call you a sexpat

Why do men who prey on the impoverished feel so comfortable in telling people of how they exploited women

MalandiBastos · 2023-05-19T14:56:32+00:00

Which cities in vietnam would u reccomend? I heard thr major citties have a ton of westerners there

Over_North8884 · 2023-05-20T00:43:42+00:00

Are the women there nicer than the bitches here in America and are they really thinner or at least not these fat ugly whales?

Smoogs2 · 2023-05-19T15:09:33+00:00

Do you drive a little moped thing around?

Lord-Beaky · 2023-05-19T22:06:35+00:00

Is there middle class and rich neighborhoods in the Philippines and Vietnam I know you mentioned that you were in your 50’s

Traditional-Bad-4055 · 2023-05-19T14:01:28+00:00

Are you happy?

Somme1916 · 2023-05-19T15:25:41+00:00

Younger women from more traditional cultures will likely want to have children (not always, but more common than not). Would you consider starting a family at your age and if so, would this be the second time you have started a family?

Glowupgirl111 · 2023-05-19T13:41:27+00:00

How do you feel knowing girls only see you as $ ?

Barneysparky · 2023-05-19T13:51:21+00:00

Are you a pedophile?

Are you in LTR’s or only there for something casual

ThisBoringLife · 2023-05-19T16:24:29+00:00

Are you looking to marry any of these women you see?

Also, in your experience, do you find women in the Phillipines and Vietnam looking to be with you because of money, or who you are?

koolex · 2023-05-19T16:57:32+00:00

How well can you relate to women who grew up in such different environments?

Blue_Robin_04 · 2023-05-19T17:34:54+00:00

Do you find Filipino/Vietnamese women more attractive generally, or do you just take them for what they are as a passport bro?

KamuiObito · 2023-05-19T17:54:06+00:00

Where have you gone so far

Citoyendeneige · 2023-05-19T18:53:36+00:00

What is the difference between this and a mail-ordered bride?
Aren't you just Beta-Bucking with Gold Diggers, but it is easier cause the price you can pay is higher since you have good exchange rate and immigration status

Over_North8884 · 2023-05-19T19:20:14+00:00

Is hook-up culture prevalent in the Philippines and Vietnam like in America? Is it normal for women to go through a hoe phase in the Philippines and Vietnam like in the West? How do women view sex in those countries?

potoricco · 2023-05-19T19:43:26+00:00

Why are sea women specifically so eager to marry very old foreign guys ? I don’t think it’s poverty because I have never seen this in any other group of women

calfshrug · 2023-05-19T19:55:58+00:00

Do you think Asian women, let’s be honest, are actually more physically attractive than white and / or black women?

We can go into the fact that Asian women are still more likely to be of healthy BMI.

My personal observations are that Asian women are no more attractive, when adjusting for bodyfat. However - I once did find Asian women more attractive, probably because they tended to be not fat, and that they were a bit of a novelty, and there was a notion that Asian women were more into white guys due to perhaps western culture’s denigration of Asian men and other factors, a notion that might be slightly supported by my personal experience, due to the fact that Asian women have more than exceeded other races on a percapita basis in my dating history, but only by a pretty small degree.

Furthermore, going to prostitutes and massage parlors is enlightening, because there, I see that Asian women are not more attractive, but less bratty on average - give less lip, are more receptive, cordial, and happy, than the age-health-otherwise equated indigenous white American woman.

On the topic of Asian women aging better than white women - it’s bullshit. The Asian women at parlors are often soft, have tooth decay, and have a normal amount of skin aging. It is possible they age better slightly due to pigmentation being a bit darker than caucasians, and higher SES on average, they might age a bit better. But plenty of SE Asian women ESPECIALLY work in blue collar jobs as nail technicians, where they work long hours without break and work with chemicals.

So there is a lot of nuance to the topic of the attractiveness of asian women with respect to women of other ethnicities

Remote-Narwhal-2471 · 2023-05-19T20:22:17+00:00

If I were looking for a serious relationship with a Filipina woman in the Philippines what do I need to look out for(in terms of behavior, personality) to marry the right one ?

spunkystoic · 2023-05-19T21:48:54+00:00

Can a decent looking but very short brown dude get good results in Philippines/Vietnam?

FYI - I'm British, wealthy, well educated, a decent guy, and described as charismatic by friends, etc.

And I don't just mean "high quality" LTR style women, but also the more "ratchet, fun for a night" street type girls.

DeepHouseDJ007 · 2023-05-19T22:42:24+00:00

Are you currently dating a young 20-something?

InvestIsGood · 2023-05-20T11:55:13+00:00

Do you have friends over there? Are you happy being a loner? Is your lifestyle only for an introvert?

ceereality · 2023-05-20T13:35:13+00:00

Have you ever looked into the Indigenous South East Asian communities such as the Aetas (Negritos) of the Phillipines and the Alifuru or Moluccans / Papuans of Indonesia ? Would you consider dating one of these indigenous black women of SE Asia?

giveuporfindaway · 2023-05-20T18:44:05+00:00

I have a handful of questions:

You describe yourself as an "8". Conventional wisdom on this forum would suggest that you would have no problem dating in the west according to the 80/20 rule. Was this the case for you? Is the reason for dating abroad that you couldn't date in the west at all, despite being an 8? Or was it just that even as an 8 and perhaps middle aged, you can't date younger women in the west?
How much of your success in SEA is replicable without your looks? e.g. can someone more or less like you but with average looks do as well? Or will someone who looks more average require a more sugar-baby or monger arrangement instead of dating civilians to get the same level of physically attractive women?
Do you think most of your success has to do with a countries GDP rather than being in asia or SEA? You reportedly didn't do as well in Thailand (if I have this right), which has a higher GDP than both Vietnam and the Philippines. Do you think you would do as well in Korea or Japan, which are more 1st world?
Do you see your current situation as a "window of opportunity" that is mostly linked to a countries current economic level? This relates to question 3. I ask because many men who travel to Angeles City for prostitutes report that things have gotten worse in terms of how hot and young women are. My hypothesis is that even a country like the Philippines is becoming wealthier. Women who formerly worked as prostitutes can now get cushy office jobs as call center workers. In the time that you have lived in SEA have your dating opportunities gotten worse due to women finding easier employment with globally rising GDP in poorer countries?

Dagenius1 · 2023-05-20T21:09:20+00:00

At your age, what is your endgame or desired outcome? Is it just sowing oats or something else?

Are women in Vietnam easier to approach?

Slavery_Evolves · 2023-06-27T16:23:44+00:00

I'm planning to do this as a 40 year old. Issue is I'm not retired and can only go for a 2-3 months MAX MAX.

Do you think that's enough time? (I'm good looking)
Do you think I should line up some people to meet before going there?
What's the most important things to be aware of to avoid scammers?
What's the most important things to look for to find a real connection? (good English? she seems to earnestly adore you?)
Finally, what is your best suggested spot/city to optimize chances of success?
