Western men are going abroad to find traditional wives.

Frustration with modern dating has fuelled the rise of "passport bros".

Listen to this story.

A few years ago Mike got fed up with dating in America. "So many women there have been brainwashed to think it's OK to treat men like crap," he says. He could work remotely, so he moved to Thailand, where his money stretched further, and he met the sort of woman he was seeking. He is now engaged to a Thai woman, Pafan. (Both asked for their surnames to be withheld.) The couple often post videos for their thousands of followers. In one viral clip captioned "Point of view: you have a Thai girlfriend", Pafan kneels on the floor clipping Mike's nails. He says his followers are mostly American men, many of them "in awe" of how she caters to him.

Mike is one of a rising number of "passport bros": young Western men who travel abroad in search of better dating prospects. Online forums, YouTube channels and TikTok accounts rank countries according to their women, advising which are the most "feminine", "traditional" and likely to pamper men. Thailand, Brazil, Colombia, the Philippines and Vietnam are among the most popular. "It's the ultimate life-hack in 2026," says Austin Abeyta, a passport bro in the Nang, Vietnam.

If all this sounds like the 1950's have collided with the modern manosphere—where dating frustrations translate into broader grievances about women online—you are not wrong. Men rejecting American women for "not offering what they value isn't new", says Beth Bailey, a historian at Cambridge University. American women's roles changed during the second world war as millions entered the workforce. Some veterans sought more traditional partners abroad: almost 100,000 married foreign women, says Ms Bailey. Other men sought "mail-order bride" arrangements. In the case of passport bros, they do not bring women to America but instead travel overseas themselves, aided by remote work and digital-nomad visas.

Why the resurgence now? Some claim the dating landscape is stacked against men. They say apps such as Tinder and Hinge favour only a handful of highly desirable profiles, while others are left competing for scraps. "It's a very labour-intensive game. Without a good prize at the end," says Mr Abeyta.

There has also been a broader cultural shift, with some young men becoming more conservative and seeking compliant partners. A recent study by Ipsos, a think-tank, surveying around 30 countries, found that more than half of Gen Z men believe women's rights have gone far enough; around a third think that wives should always obey their husbands.

Economics play a part, too. Moving abroad can make it easier to live out more traditional roles. In America supporting a household on a single income has become more difficult. "I don't mind dating a poor woman," says Justin, another passport bro. "You're more likely to get the traditional roles that way. "

Some critics argue that passport bros exploit women and contribute to sex tourism. Others say that women are with them for a Western passport. But money may play as big a role. "I have no desire to live in America," says Jewel Clyte, Mr Abeyta's Filipina girlfriend. Their partnership has offered her more financial security than a partner from the Philippines might.

There is nothing wrong with finding love abroad. But Ms Bailey warns that large gaps in income can lead to "disproportionate levels of power". For passport bros and their riveted followers, however, that power imbalance may be what is so seductive.

For me the issue is not really BBBJ vs CBJ it is who can give a toe curling BBBJ and for me that is just 1% of providers. Friday last my sugar babe gave me a BBBJ and I swear I almost levitated. I ended up buying her an iPhone 18 Pro Max. I've got to get back to ordinary mongering.

Exactly! I still remember an adamant CBJ provider from Sosua who landed me on the moon. She just wouldn't go bare, even for a tip. Of course, I can only imagine what she could've done to me without a rubber, but if I didn't give up, I would've missed a great experience. And your numbers are spot on, too. That CBJ was better than 99% of BBBJs I've gotten in my life. That was 2000's.

4. Used refurbished Thinkpad t14 on amazon less than 300 usd. Recommended by a hedge fund buddy. With a ram max upgrade 500 USD.

Can be a life changer.

The preferred laptop of locals if you look around.

#1. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Spray: the 3.4 oz when I am feeling generous or the 1.7 oz if I am feeling a little frugal. The 3. 4 oz is the better deal.

#2. I like Tochka's suggestion about a used late version I-Phone and I just happen to have a spare Samsung Galaxy S21. It is in mint condition, and I have no use for it. I know the Missus is going to love it.

#3. A box of Gourmet Dark Chocolate Truffles.

On this trip I am skipping the truffles.

A Gift Is Not Payment. You got that right! KKK.

I have bad news my friend if you are traveling to Rio. There is nothing like Casarao or Gauguin or Scandallo there. No such thing as big fun upscale clubs (casarao now arguably upscale). The clubs are small and sharky. Prepare to be disappointed if you compare. That said you can pull a hottie from many of the termas or Meu Patricinio or Seeking.

Actually just read Gatito Safados report a few down from this. What a shit show Rio is for clubs w pussy.

Its really not that bad. The big knock on Rio is you will spend half your night in a cab because all the venues are so spread out. And yes the Copacabana clubs are small and they can be sharky for sure, but if you play the game with a little Thomas Paine, they are actually a little cheaper than the Boates of Sao Paulo. The quality is also a little less and you may have to look just a tad more, but that's only because Sao Paulo really has an unmatched caliber of girls working. I recommend a dual city trip to Rio and SP every time if you have the budget and time on your hands. The vibe of Rio and the weather is also superior to SP and you get the beaches and Malecon. Sao Paulo does have slightly better steak houses on average.

I actually had good sessions at 4 x 4 and Lapa house, but I can handle the sleaze while I can see how some may want the class and style of the Boates of SP. I forget the name of the big free lancers / normal girls club in Rio, but apparently its pretty good. I never made it over there sadly.

But to beat a dead Horse, Scandallo is the single best spot on Earth for the game we all play, so if you can only pick one city- I would choose SP, but Rio is still a dandy of a time.

Disclaimer I am biased because I missed Rio in its Glory Days.

It's only "gaslighting" if somebody is distorting reality to make someone else doubt their own perception or sanity. I don't know about anyone else, but I have never engaged in that sort of thing here. I've never had a CBJ in Brazil, and I never, ever will! And that's the honest truth. I sat here and tried to remember the last time a garota even tried to pull that on me, and I can't remember a time. The last time it happened anywhere was about a year ago in Germany at FKK Oceans in Dusseldorf. Girl said CBJ only, so I took a walk. Not happening. The thing is not to be stupid about it. Meaning, discuss the matter with the girl before you go to the room. Make it clear what your wants are, not only around oral, but for anything you're seeking during the session. If a BBBJ is non-negotiable for you as it is for me, then make sure she understands that. And if still she won't relent, then walk away! Fortunately in Brazil I've never had to do this, because getting BBBJs has been a non-issue. It's been pretty automatic. I know from deep experience that there is zero reason to ever accept a CBJ in Brazil, and if you do, then that's on you. Not on seasoned veterans of this forum who've told you exactly how to handle things so that you too can always get a BBBJ in Brazil. Never had a CBJ in Brazil, and never will! That's not gaslighting, that's just the plain, honest to goodness truth! I think the reason for why you get CBJs is revealed by your own words where you say, "I usually don't care that much if I get CBJ instead of BBBJ". And therein lies the problem. You don't care much. So, who is gaslighting who I query? Be smart and be resolute, and you too shall have some (BBBJs) Pip!

Anyway, nobody really interested me, so I chose slimmiest and cutest one among the present 6's and 6,5's. Maria Julia is short, petite-style, fit, and her face is cute, but she is 25+, maybe close to 30 year old, you can tell that. The conversation was nice, and 1 h before closing time we went to the room for 40 min action. She refused to do BBBJ, which quite ruined my mood, thanks to constant gaslighting of veterans from this forum. I usually don't care that much if I get CBJ instead of BBBJ, but now I am forced to think about it. Thanks a lot, guys!

And there is mosaico, after midnight, when all the tier 1 girls go there half priced, IE, you have to pay them 600 r in 4 x 4 but 300 r in mosaico.

There is paris Saturday night swing, the best girl from there if you don't bring your own girl now works at.

Perola negra, so you go there, and you get a girl, and you bring her to Asha swing in barra.

In centro, there is club mix bar, like 200 meters from 4 x 4.

I mean, Rio is different from SP, safer actually if you wear a vasco shirt, not as rich, but it has beaches not only that it has islands, and it has college girls, but what you need is some game, some intel, some wasta, some gravitas, some tradecraft, some refinement, some savoir fair.

Au contraire Mon. Freire.

Bruh.

I hate to say it, but like ALL of barra in the olegario maciel area around perola negra is one big meat market like casarao.

So is baixo gavea, so is boteco Belmonte.

Yes, casarao is good, I took a prive girl there, we had a good time, rua Augusta is the place to be, but actually, so is like all of Ipanema up and down the streets outside of Centaurus.

Ok, I am a ugly, fat, old dude with a grey beard I shave off to look younger, and my hair is going white, a little, at the temples, which makes me look like Brad Pitt with long surfer Jesus locks, but my best memory erotically of Ipanema is kissing a super hot Finnish swimmer college girl who looks just like elsa jean, the porn star, and that girl offered not just her own throat, but the ass and body of her super hot Finnish dupla partner for a plane ticket, and again, I am not brad Pitt, but then, I have more of that manly stuff, since I am a certified hero of the Swiss navy, all my children go to school for free on the dime of Gavin newsom, that faggot, the governor of the state of Lugano, back in Switzerland.

[Gatito Safado]

Anyone know a girl at.

An agency that looks like her? Super classy.

Not crazy surgery with a killer face card?

She retired but looking for a substitute.

I would look at barravipsrio or FatalModels for similar type.

I was just in Rio for 6 days. My last stop in Brazil. So this is my last report on this continent.

I arrived on Wednesday after spending 1.5 days on the big island. Two days no sex made me horny af.

I first went to the building that has Eden and other parlors. This was around 5 pm, no luck, no one to my liking. So I walked over to the beach to watch sunset which was epic.

Later that night I stopped by Marrakech which was half block from my hotel. The place was reasonably packed, lots of dudes and GPS. I spotted a petite mulata with curly hair, so off we went.

Long story short, I repeated with her 2 times: Friday and Sunday. I gave her 1000 each time, she stayed for about 3 hours each time.

This was my last stop, I just did not feel like hunting. Had someone reliable ensured my time in Rio to be fun and safe.

Also, Sunday I watched the NFL game at Maracanã. Ticket was 350, not bad for a NFL game.

I will be back for sure.

I will be swimming among them in globe. Haha.

I think you have better chance to find that type in the south. I met a "Vanessa Kirby" in Curitiba. You might still find her there. Check out my report.
