This is me in this video. Tbh, I don’t really identify with a lot of the passport bro movement and I kind of cringe that I’m seen as a passport bro but if a man moves abroad and finds a loving caring relationship, then that’s a very positive thing. The dating culture is very different in the west and Asia because of the way people are raised and their values. For example USA highly values freedom and individualism while Asia values harmony and collectivism. This isn’t to say one is better than the other. It’s just a preference! Go where you’re treated best.
Hey Paul,my late husband have the same perspectives just like you.We met in Hong Kong and get married in Indonesia.We moved to Sweden and he passed away in 2020.I could say that I have better life here but I missed the atmosphere in Indonesia,caring neighbours and family. Here peoples are so individual and most of local Swedish are not so friendly.
Hey Paul, there was a lot of mean comments in the original video because many struggle with dating in the west. So naturally many women are in the comment section who maybe didnt have so much luck in dating. As someone who found a more feminine woman from the philippines, with a family oriented valueset, while she was working here in Denmark, I completely understand you. I guess i am a passport bro as well, even though i only left the country to visit her parents. There is a push to try and demonize men who look for a more family oriented life, or god forbid, a christian life which led me and her together. But I wish you all the best
I'm a 28 year old American white guy living in SE Asia. This guy and most western guys when they move to Asia are completely clueless about the cultural reality. Asian culture is much more materialistic and money obsessed than American culture. Most American girls I've dated are totally fine with splitting the bill for example, try doing that in Asia lol. I guarantee this guy is paying for everything for his Thai girlfriend. She is eating food 3x more expensive, living in his apartment that is 3x bigger and using transportation 3x nicer than all her girlfriends because she's dating an American and they are dating Thai guys. He has the cultural depth of a squirrel to think that she isn't in it for his money because she's just happy to be living an American lifestyle in Thailand when all her friends are still living a Thai lifestyle.
As a Thai I see nothing but a happy man with a happy partner. But for the westerners, this man could be seen as misogynistic, sexist and so on. Your view on this story depends on "your background", if you are from the society that full of gender conflicts what you can think of are just all the words from the gender-conflict vocabulary. But in Thailand, people don't get obsessed with all these stuff, men and women get along well, and there is relatively no gender conflict comparing to the western society. Some men could be more compatible with softer women, but also some women could get along well with more softer men, and some prefer equal relationship, all these don't matter as long as they are happy as a couple. So, who are you to judge them? Don't bring the western's point of view about genders into the Thai society, in Thailand we don't do "men vs women", or "LGBT should not exist" things.
It is mostly due to avg men and avg women not finding each other as much in the west, that there are so many mean comments. But I think Paul did well to explain himself, he has good intentions and only those who want to see it as a wrong, will see it that way.
This guy's perspective on Thailand is entirely incorrect. Thailand is very superficial.. status and money are arguably much more important than in the west. Even the methods of saying hello are tied to status. He just seems clueless about the actual topic. The irony is that his preference for dating is actually entirely linked to having more money and status than most of the actual Thai people... this is why he prefers it. He is living in a very status oriented country where his particular status is higher, and he's turned being able to find a girlfriend into his entire personality. This says a lot more about him than anything else.
It's the same in most asian countries. Asian women aren't more feminine. women in general act more feminine when in front of a man they're attracted to. As an asian, things from europe like bags, cars, race, education and accent are seen as of a higher social status. If u come to asia with a western accent, women will find u attractive.
I was going to say the same thing. He is totally tone-deaf to the reality of what really happens in Thailand. A lot of Thai people only date foreigners for the sole purpose of having a better life, to obtain wealth, or to improve their social status. They're not doing it for the reason he mentions in the video. A lot of westerns from the US, and other countries will only show 1 side of Thailand but won't highlight the challenges. CNA Insider usually has great videos where they highlight the struggles of Thailand and get Thai people to do a day and life.
In that case, you might wanna reconsider people in your circle. There are more working women than men in Thailand. The middle class girls are the majority here, and yet many faraang seemed to only get the attention of the women from the marginalized population like them bar girls. Those bar girl are really, really desperate - Ofc they’re willing to be with a faraang double their age. Whilst most educated Thai women wouldn’t even acknowledged his existence, ‘cause the Thai middle-upper class men/woman in their working age would’ve care more about look, height, age, charisma and body type of their partner than stability in life. Besides, nobody wants an old/fat/ugly bf/gf that can’t even understand what your father was saying unless you really have to. - Their friends will tease, and their family wouldn’t approve of you; if they gotta choose between family or a walking wallet, ofc they’d dump you, or else, they’d have to hide their relationship. Life will be hard.
I hanged out once with a passport bro from France. He kept complaining that in France women prefer to be with their cats than with a partner. He also complain that Southeast Asia is beautiful but dirty like air quality is not good. He also said that women in Vietnam are so gorgeous but again he complain that they can't speak English. No wonder he's still single at 38.
Not all women in Thailand act the same. I met some of the worst types of Thai women during my week-long trip in Bangkok. These are the types who work in bars and as "freelancers". If you come out here to meet women, I would highly advise you to stay away from women who work in these establishments that cater to tourists.
Here is my take on Thailand as someone who has been here for two years. As for love, it does exist, but it does come with a price. Women in Thailand are looking for a guy who can take care of them financially, combined with them taking care of their family. Unless you're willing to dish out your hard-earned money and resources for these women, then that is the reality of Thai women. The country lacks any social welfare system, the wages are super low, and Thai people can't really express their opinions on the country, as laws are there to punish them for speaking up. So you'll see nothing but positive things in Thailand as compared to the U.S., where they have First Amendment laws for its citizens. I've seen Paul's previous video, and the guy claims he makes $150,000 USD per year, which is like making $1,000,000 USD in Thailand, so he can pick and choose the type of partner he would like to get into a relationship with. He will have an amazing life living in Thailand with that type of salary. Thailand only wants folks with money entering their country. The fact that they had to use Passport Bro to generate clicks tells me he doesn't respect or appreciate the movement, as it was more intended for black men to seek love overseas. He's just using this interview & name (passport bro) to boost his public image.

$150k USD in high COL areas like where Paul is living in Thonglor is comparable to more like $450k USD in a high COL US city like LA. Its very easy to blow through crazy amounts of money in Bangkok, as it is in LA. The hiso in Bangkok can throw around 100k baht on trinkets. The prices in high end restaurants, shopping, hotels, clubs, bars etc relative to the mid range establishments reflect this. The high end places have prices to match high COL areas in the US, dollar for dollar. You can easily drop $600 on dinner in Bangkok.

Bro, if you're broke and poor, just admit it. Paul is a winner by most measurements.
Taking care of her family? What kind of women did you meet? Let me tell you that no middle class people would expect you to take care of their families (especially Bangkokians). Maybe you dated Isaan bar girl type?
successful PP Bro here. 4 trips to the Philippines since October 2023. I have a beautiful filipina fiancee now, and will live there permanently Feb 2024. would never date a western woman ever again, waste of time,
Western women often come across as hostile to me even. And they still want men to be the breadwinner, while wanting to earn the same, those two things realistically do not match so well. So average women look at average men who earn the same as below them or not good enough. This is what is going on, I live in europe and I notice how many good, kind men are not in a relationship. It leads me to believe the current setup doesnt work. Divorce rate is also high, I think 41% last data i saw. Some women will say men dont do enough around the house but the newest data says otherwise. If men and women are smart here they save up to have kids, if it becomes too much stress, so they can both take more time off. But women here are constantly told they should get out to work directly after having kids almost, in this competition with men that society/media pushes them to
I agree with this video, though I think describing western women as more "masculine" requires further elaboration. Western women are very independent and earn a lot, often more than men (which is great) but because women naturally desire a man who can protect them (known as hypergamous - which isn't unreasonable), there are less and less men that can match what they want. As a result, there's a lot of single men and single women. I've been dating in Australia for the last decade and a half and I can see it's becoming ever more difficult for the average man... with many men becoming resentful (and probably women as well). Overall, I am in a very good position to raise a family etc. I can support my partner, raise a family, I am healthy, own a house, car, very fit, have bought fitted suits so my fashion is good etc. I've tried numerous dating courses, talked to a lot of women, but in the end, nothing has happened. Honestly, I'd love to find a partner here (logistically it's easier, lower risk and would be better for my career/finances)... but I am at the age where I've tried and tried and found nothing substantial, so I can't wait too much longer because I want a family myself. I really am just exhausted and tired of dating in the western world. I've had many girls ghost me, over look me, be indecisive, cause a lot of dramatic etc. and I am just so tired 😭. I get more attention abroad so realistically speaking, that seems to be my only option now (as much as I would prefer otherwise).
If you don't view hypergamy and a hyper-sexualised society that western societies perpetuate as a problem, then yes you have a problem. Such things would not be tolerated or acceptable in Asian societies and carry severe punishments for breaking of traditional norms. Sure feminist culture wars do get imported to Asian countries too but governments are proactive to clamp down against things that challenge traditional gender roles and the nuclear family. Men in western countries have to push back and assert more traditional values or there is little hope for the average western male. And we sure as hell don't want or won't tolerate a western man or woman trying to import western values into our countries.
This is the reason most date abroad, its too difficult for the avg man and avg woman to find each other in the west. And the truth is a lof of western women arent just looking for someone on their level, they still want men to have a higher social status than them, which is rather traditional. I dont think this will change soon so I support avg men going abroad to date. Go where you are wanted. Dont let hit pieces scare you
Women generally always want to date up (i.e. A man of higher status either financial or socially) and when the bar of men and women's social and economic status becomes more and more equal, the pool of men for women to select from becomes less and less. This is particularly why women say there arent many suitable men to date, alot of men are just invisible to women as men who don't meet their standards aren't even considered.
Misogyny by definition is the hatred of women. So how passport bros are misogynistic? You are telling me that men are travelling halfway around the world to hate on women from foreign countries. It's ridiculous. If a man find love and happiness overseas, good for him.
Its because they are trying to shame men in to marrying a local feminist, men in fact do not want to marry the local feminist, they want family oriented women. So there is a complete mismatch. And women who get educated and earn same as men are still looking for men that are a level above them, western women hasnt accepted this yet. Most men and women earn roughly the same in almost all countries where the birth rate is below replacement add on top of this the culture/behavior of feminist inspired western women and you start to get the idea
My wifes from Asia. I can say this, she is more of a true partber than any woman iv been with in the uk. She hasnt had half her town in bed and underatands moral standing and being with her man. Never letting her go
Tell me this then. If this is all about Asian values, why isn't this Korean-American guy in Korea? Koreans are Asians too. This has nothing to do with Asian women being more feminine. This is all about power dynamic where Thai is weaker economically
5:15 One thing I love about Asian women is that they're not hostile. They can be smart, funny, stubborn - just about anything on the spectrum of human behaviour, BUT they're not hostile to men. And it's so refreshing.

@@davidmun1601 It is true. Has been for the same experience for me for 12 years in Asia. Any woman in the world might have a day or two where they are mad or hostile to men, for reasons that aren't related to the man or men in general. Unless you're out there harassing the same bar girls or trying to hard to convince someone of dating or sleeping with you, no Asian women do not have a general hostility to men like women in the west do more often. Of course if you look like a pork chop in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts and sandals, they might find you unattractive but that's on you buddy not on them.
@@carolinerondon8934 I just see this as men taking the easy way out. Traditionally, men had all the power in the dating world. That has changed in recent years. Women in the developed countries are finding out that they do not have to settle. Some men can't deal with that. So, now they go to less developed countries where they can still get away ding less.
Some of the key elements have to do with an individual's personality. If you don't have the strong confidence to set boundaries to certain things that affect your ideal lifestyle based on where you live, those old issues will still follow you. In Asian culture men still prefer women to be obedient, in Western culture women speak up when they see issues Men get scared and say they are too strong. I don't think it's gender, religion, or culture. It's choosing to be "Authentic" and appreciate your partner loves you enough to share their opinion. What you see is what you get! All applied to both straight and LGBTQR couples. 🍻
"If a woman loves her man and trusts her man, she will submit to his decision." Riiight. Tell that to my mother. My parents were born and raised and got married in China. Fast forward to the present day, who is the boss of the house? Mom. I have heard of foreigners who complain about Chinese men and women who focus more on the children than on the spouses whereas, in western cultures, I think people tend to focus more on themselves, their spouses and then their kids.
As a foreigner with lots of half Chinese neighbors, they are brilliant with their children. So much invested time and energy which is admirable. My wife and I watched Chinese couples in the UK and Asia and as an outsider it looked like a financial transaction, they didn't talk or cuddle or show any signs of being married aside from general respect for one another but this is likely because we don't understand relationship dynamics of Chinese people. But it has to be said, brilliant work ethic and the men do everything to support their families
@@larkop6504 The Chinese do have a strong work ethic, and this fact is also why the Taiwanese workers (who are ethnically Chinese) and American workers of TSMC based in the USA are having trouble getting along. The American workers value their own work-life balance and having the time to spend with family, but from the Chinese work culture standpoint, this just means laziness. The Taiwanese workers are more willing to put their heart, soul and mind into their own work, and they and their own families support the work that they do. I'd say it's a different kind of work-life balance--one that takes work as the priority and that adjusts the life around work. It acknowledges that the work brings money/food on the table, and the children just have to accept that. American children, I think, tend to be more individualistic, and their parents tend to be more individualistic as well. For Americans, a work-life balance would mean keeping everything completely separate and unaccommodating and making sure that life gets priority. I also think this is stemmed from the analytic thinking preference in the West where something will be thought out individually, without consideration of context. In the East, people prefer more holistic thinking. There is actually a TH-camr--maybe two--who talks about Western vs Eastern UX design, and how the design itself is geared towards western populations or eastern populations; however, I don't think it's just cultural but also linguistic. I think the grammar forces people to think in a certain way. In English and other European languages, the most specific thing like the day comes first, then the month and then the year. In East Asian languages, the most general thing comes first (year), then the month and finally the day. I think if the grammar goes from specific to general, then people tend to think about the detail first, then the context. But if the grammar goes from general to specific, then people will think about the context, then the detail. The men do everything to support their families--true. But women do the same. Urban Chinese women usually work like their husbands. Rural Chinese women may actually become housewives. But if the family needs money, then the women will work too. Maybe find work to do in the city or take the agricultural products and sell them in the city. They usually don't idle around. Because both men and women usually work, it is the grandparents who usually take care of their own grandchildren. Being the housewife is actually very risky business. If the husband can't work anymore, and the wife doesn't have any recent work experience that would be relevant to the workplace, then the family essentially has no income. So, if possible, the housewife needs to be on the look-out for moneymaking opportunities from home.
The interviewer doesn’t know Thai slang good enough bc she doesn’t know what Paul said which as a Thai I know what he said which means stunning or shocking.
I don't know, I thought you guys only do arranged marriage? These guys are looking for love or one-night stands, they won't come to a conservative country like India known for caste barriers, untouchability and honour killings
Some do. It just depends on if you import a lot of western culture including feminist culture wars from the west. Sadly India was colonised a lot by Britain and now with American culture. We need to go back to our desi roots
What if the woman wants children given cultural reasons or other reasons, but the Passport Bro doesn't want any? How about having half children, where the male child could look more Asian?
Glad that you're happy Paul. Yes it does feel like there are too many contradictions when trying to date back home. People expect "traditional" partners but they themselves adhere to "modern" tendencies. But have you considered that this goes both ways, not just on women? Many many guys these days want to have casual sex with a lot of girls and prefer situationships to actual commitment. With women becoming more aware of their autonomy allowed by our laws (though that is decreasing, see Roe v Wade), social media creators pushing relationship ragebait for views, and too many echo-chambers abound, nobody wants to be played. Guess what happens? Men and women start to play each other and feed into the narrative that "modern/western men/women are trash". Asian women are not as different as you want to imagine, regardless of how Hollywood or porn like to spin the narrative of a submissive and sensual being. More often than not in Asian countries (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and likely Thailand), the wife becomes the boss of the house and not in a good way, because that's how they grew up in their household. So much for submitting to the man. I don't know you and what you do in your relationship dynamic, but I'm fairly certain that you being a digital nomad from the US (aka having more money than the average local man) played a big part in the amount of willing women who initially matched with you on dating apps, and what your current gf will put up with. If she's submitting to you often as opposed to if she were with another Thai man, probably it's because of your passport and money. In any case you're 2.5 years strong with Ton-nao, so I wish you the best!
Why do I see this guy talking everywhere? He has no clue about Thailand. Thailand is extremely status oriented and most Thai people hustle and grind far harden than any American.. 6 and 7 day workweeks are common. He’s come up with nonsensical theories based on totally incorrect assumptions about Thailand, Thai people or Thai women… instead of just admitting he moved to a poorer country and less competitive dating environment where his money and status makes his life easier. That’s literally all any of these guys are doing and frankly I get it and don’t really fault them for making that decision. But just admit it and stop inventing stupid theories like your some scholarly critic.
I disagree that "asian women" are more traditional or feminine. I dont think its Asian vs western but more like developed/educated vs lesser develop/educated. you will never find feminine and traditional women here in Singapore thats for sure (or at least its extremely rare)
It’s not just western men, even other foreign non-western men come here, fall in love, and get married, and that, several decades ago. There tons of mixed Thai Gen Z and younger folks like myself out there. Though I’m mixed western, I married an Indian man.
Paul Lee’s story highlights a fascinating trend among young men seeking traditional relationships abroad. He praises Asian women for being more feminine, family-oriented, and respectful, contrasting this with the perception of many Western women, who he feels can be overly independent or critical, sometimes labeled as 'Karens' in pop culture. While critics argue this trend exploits economic and social imbalances, it’s also clear that Asian women are making their own choices and seem to embody qualities these men value deeply. Does this say more about cultural differences or shifting relationship priorities in the West?
Then tell me this. Why Thailand? This guy is Korean-American. If the values he is looking for is truly just Asian, why not Korea? Last I checked, Korea is in Asia. He is there because of the power dynamics
@@sardonumspa8113 Then you guessed wrong. I have traveled to both Americas, Europe, Australia and Asia. In fact, I have been to the Southeast Asia many times. I know why men traveled to Southeast Asia. This guy is there precisely for those reasons.
The point is we need better balance and care in modern society. It shouldn’t be that women need to be “more masculine” or “more feminine” - just everyone be nice to each other, live how you want and respect everyone.
My American dating life has been a nightmare. Every time I have dated someone, they become jealous and try to hurt me . Men in the States and around the world need a refresher course on what their duties are in a relationship. Woman cant raise kids and be the bread winner but we do and everyone suffers . Men love woman who are nice for money to boost their ego. We are not as materialistic I would say as foreign woman.
Thai maybe but good luck with finding his stereotypes of women in Malaysia and Singapore. What you see is what you get, they don’t put on a facade to please men.
We need to understand there are diff people in this world with different wants. If a couple can get together and both be genuinely happy, who are we to judge? As long as there is no manipulation, abuse or similar, why not? Same as we gravitate towards certain types of to-be friends, relationship between a couple follows the same idea. Not everyone wants "a type" validated by a group of people. End day, we are all different.
Western women are more masculine. Really? You consider them masculine if they are more career oriented. I don't think so. Priorities differ from person to person, don't club it into gender roles. What about men who cook? Are they more feminine? All women care for their man, whether Asian or not. Who are you? Asian American or "American American"?
@ronnie5329 you mean to say that all those western men who have western women as partners are not masculine enough. Sorry but I don't agree with you. Many western women are career oriented but still look after the family. If you want a partner who is like a slave to fulfill all your needs and you are a king then something is wrong with you. Responsibility should be shared.
@@ronnie5329 better than asian women from developing countries, most of them are gold diggers. I find western women are better looking than asian women from developing countries - better fashion.
Grew up in Canada for 14 years but I found my wife in Asia. I've been married for 32 years. I prefer women in Asia because I wanted a woman that has an opinion but only when asked 😁
The main thing is they have Asian cultural values. Ideally this should be for everyone looking to get married as it's a very strong expectation for people to get married and live in harmony between husband and wife in a normal gender roles.
@@phoenixdown1947 Yeah the nations which are colonised or controlled by the USA are most at risk like Japan, The Phillipines and South Korea. This is the consequence of submitting to American culture including importing the culture wars. Other nations which have not imported this or have sovereignty over their population will be able to enforce traditional gender roles to ensure the stability of their society. Understandable that Japanese, Filipinos and Koreans are not very smart when it comes to societal long-term thinking
@@8August1988 Yes we go off the history of the last few hundreds of years and even thousands. We all live on the Asian continent. The cultural separation is very real as you see Turkey and Russia are the bridge between Asia and Europe. I live in the UK and have travelled around many countries here and in the East. Westerners have lost any concept of traditional or family values, the society here is very individualistic and selfish. Everything is always an argument even when it becomes damaging to the common good two people can do together by working together. I know Taiwan has new cultural issues as it has imported a lot of western culture, similar to what we see in South Korea and Japan. If you are smart you would reverse this somewhat, as we see in my ancestral country of India. If you don't then Taiwan, South Korea and Japan will disappear within one or two generations
@@Swiplys: “Waste your life, learn to speak a foreign language By Anthony Browne (Monday, 23rd December 2002) We all know le problème: we are a nation of monoglots, linguistically challenged and so culturally inferior and economically constrained. Only one in four of us can claim to speak in foreign tongues, whereas our chic European chums babble away in a veritable Babel. European governments have lobbied, and the British Government has responded: from 2010 every primary school shall teach foreign. It’s a further good intention paving the road to ruin of our education system. We should shrug off our linguistic hang-ups, and instead of reinforcing language teaching, abolish it tout de suite. Ordering everyone to learn another language is as pointless as ordering everyone to dig holes and fill them up. The reward for our ancestors persuading the rest of the world to speak English is that there is no need for us to learn what the rest of the world speaks. All the time we spend learning another language, we should spend instead learning something useful - like economics, business studies, politics, law or computer science. If everyone in the country were forced to study economics as remorselessly as they are forced to learn French, then Britain would be in a far better state (true reform of the NHS would have happened decades ago). Learning another language may make you feel clever, but it is no longer necessary for speaking with the foreigners you’re most likely to want to speak to: the educated and those working in tourism. Ever regretted you didn’t spend years learning German because of problems communicating with German labourers? I thought not. I spent three hours a week for six years learning French, but it has proved a total waste of time. I have only needed it on a handful of occasions, and even then it was tourist French learnable in a couple of weeks. I have family friends in France, and have had many enjoyable conversations with our Gallic neighbours, but always in English. I have extended family in Norway and Denmark, but hardly speak either language because I never get the chance: all my Scandinavian relatives speak perfect English. In contrast to all our continental cousins, Britain is part of the Anglosphere, by far the most powerful linguistic bloc in the world: the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand - as well as countries such as South Africa and India where English is the language of business and politics. Three of the G7 countries are anglophone. Even outside the Anglosphere you can thrive with impunity as an English monoglot: you can work with no problems in the European Commission, the European Central Bank and countless multinational companies around the world. There is no obvious alternative language - French is only useful in a couple of developed countries and North Africa, and Spanish helps you on holiday in Cuba. Don’t get me wrong: I understand the smug satisfaction of mastering another tongue, but it is damaging to force it on the entire population. European children spend 15 per cent of their time learning foreign languages by the age of ten - imagine the advantages we would have if our kids did something more interesting in that time than learning how to ask for un café. The Government is swimming against the tide of history: as more people learn English, the more pointless it is for Britons to learn another language. There are fewer and fewer people in the world worth speaking to who don’t speak English. Already the number of people studying languages at A level in Britain is plummeting. The Government’s recent announcement that it is no longer compulsory to learn a foreign language up to GCSE is a welcome dose of reality. But it should go the whole hog, and stop forcing everyone to learn useless knowledge that they will never need, and hardly ever use.” 「終」
tbf its not just this guy, its a lot of guys who grew up in the west. Also most guys prefer feminine girls and girls who value traditional girls. Right or wrong but thats the reality.
@ the problem is not wanting a feminine woman , there is no issue , using words like submit is the issue … he’s Asian himself or did he forget that fact 😂 Asian men are very feminine to westerners lol
In the guise of husband and wife raising kids, this is completely normal and the way of the world. For sex tourism and superficial relationships, this is not tolerated by Asian society at large
“Submit” is a term that’s been politicized and hijacked as a misogynistic term. I don’t mean it in the sense that a submissive person is being dominated or has less power or worth. It means that in the traditional sense, a woman would trust her man’s leadership and direction. It’s not a combative or selfish pursuit.
He is full of nonsense, and no thai is interested in a asian American guy that looks 45 years old. I bet he has a gf that doesn't work 😂. Its like anywhere else if you have money its easy to find a gf
Sounds like you have never been to Thailand, buddy. Yes, money is important, but this guy isn't rich. Many Thailand women want a loyal, mature man who can provide. Most prefer a man older than themselves.
Thai women seem very similar to Eastern European women. The older the man is the more attractive the younger girl finds you. Why? Because you are seen as wise and mature.
@@josephbranch2342 I am sure he is very rich by Thai standard. An average man from developed country is rich in Thailand. If he has the same earning powder as an average Thai man, no Thai woman will be interested.
Because in the west, Asian guys are generally considered the least attractive. But this Asian guy is kinda unattractive too because he has acne on his face
Yea he definition of passport bro. Could not get any girls in his home country and come Thailand download dating apps and meeting just freelancers for payment
He is talking about the kind of society not the women ...He changes the location. So , this doesn't have to do with the women.... It s more with the the temperature 🌡️ the climate and the culture
I am with you on this. If Asian women really do offer the traits that Western women don't, then why is he going to Thailand, and not to Korea? He is a Korean-American, and Koreans are Asians.
@@davidmun1601 Its all about economics, theres a reason passport bros go to poorer countries and not developed ones. This is why I never rocked with it. Local men can not compete with rich foreigners
He wants a lap-dog is all I say. A relationship should never be based on all what he says. And why insult Western women for reasons of his own. Am an Asian woman and I’d never wish for a man like him for my daughter nor would I ever want my sons to think like him. Shameful!
This is me in this video. Tbh, I don’t really identify with a lot of the passport bro movement and I kind of cringe that I’m seen as a passport bro but if a man moves abroad and finds a loving caring relationship, then that’s a very positive thing.
The dating culture is very different in the west and Asia because of the way people are raised and their values. For example USA highly values freedom and individualism while Asia values harmony and collectivism. This isn’t to say one is better than the other. It’s just a preference! Go where you’re treated best.
Asian is definitely better than USA dating culture. Trust me.
Hey Paul,my late husband have the same perspectives just like you.We met in Hong Kong and get married in Indonesia.We moved to Sweden and he passed away in 2020.I could say that I have better life here but I missed the atmosphere in Indonesia,caring neighbours and family. Here peoples are so individual and most of local Swedish are not so friendly.
True it’s more of a preference. There is so much stigma from the US because it shows that they are not preferred.
Hey Paul, there was a lot of mean comments in the original video because many struggle with dating in the west. So naturally many women are in the comment section who maybe didnt have so much luck in dating. As someone who found a more feminine woman from the philippines, with a family oriented valueset, while she was working here in Denmark, I completely understand you. I guess i am a passport bro as well, even though i only left the country to visit her parents.
There is a push to try and demonize men who look for a more family oriented life, or god forbid, a christian life which led me and her together. But I wish you all the best
If all you said is true, why is EA facing demographic decline?
I'm a 28 year old American white guy living in SE Asia. This guy and most western guys when they move to Asia are completely clueless about the cultural reality. Asian culture is much more materialistic and money obsessed than American culture. Most American girls I've dated are totally fine with splitting the bill for example, try doing that in Asia lol. I guarantee this guy is paying for everything for his Thai girlfriend. She is eating food 3x more expensive, living in his apartment that is 3x bigger and using transportation 3x nicer than all her girlfriends because she's dating an American and they are dating Thai guys. He has the cultural depth of a squirrel to think that she isn't in it for his money because she's just happy to be living an American lifestyle in Thailand when all her friends are still living a Thai lifestyle.
As a Thai I see nothing but a happy man with a happy partner. But for the westerners, this man could be seen as misogynistic, sexist and so on. Your view on this story depends on "your background", if you are from the society that full of gender conflicts what you can think of are just all the words from the gender-conflict vocabulary. But in Thailand, people don't get obsessed with all these stuff, men and women get along well, and there is relatively no gender conflict comparing to the western society. Some men could be more compatible with softer women, but also some women could get along well with more softer men, and some prefer equal relationship, all these don't matter as long as they are happy as a couple. So, who are you to judge them?
Don't bring the western's point of view about genders into the Thai society, in Thailand we don't do "men vs women", or "LGBT should not exist" things.
Thanks for understanding 🙌
It is mostly due to avg men and avg women not finding each other as much in the west, that there are so many mean comments. But I think Paul did well to explain himself, he has good intentions and only those who want to see it as a wrong, will see it that way.

This guy's perspective on Thailand is entirely incorrect. Thailand is very superficial.. status and money are arguably much more important than in the west. Even the methods of saying hello are tied to status. He just seems clueless about the actual topic.
The irony is that his preference for dating is actually entirely linked to having more money and status than most of the actual Thai people... this is why he prefers it.
He is living in a very status oriented country where his particular status is higher, and he's turned being able to find a girlfriend into his entire personality. This says a lot more about him than anything else.

It's the same in most asian countries. Asian women aren't more feminine. women in general act more feminine when in front of a man they're attracted to. As an asian, things from europe like bags, cars, race, education and accent are seen as of a higher social status. If u come to asia with a western accent, women will find u attractive.
I was going to say the same thing. He is totally tone-deaf to the reality of what really happens in Thailand. A lot of Thai people only date foreigners for the sole purpose of having a better life, to obtain wealth, or to improve their social status. They're not doing it for the reason he mentions in the video. A lot of westerns from the US, and other countries will only show 1 side of Thailand but won't highlight the challenges. CNA Insider usually has great videos where they highlight the struggles of Thailand and get Thai people to do a day and life.
In that case, you might wanna reconsider people in your circle.
There are more working women than men in Thailand. The middle class girls are the majority here, and yet many faraang seemed to only get the attention of the women from the marginalized population like them bar girls. Those bar girl are really, really desperate - Ofc they’re willing to be with a faraang double their age. Whilst most educated Thai women wouldn’t even acknowledged his existence, ‘cause the Thai middle-upper class men/woman in their working age would’ve care more about look, height, age, charisma and body type of their partner than stability in life. Besides, nobody wants an old/fat/ugly bf/gf that can’t even understand what your father was saying unless you really have to. - Their friends will tease, and their family wouldn’t approve of you; if they gotta choose between family or a walking wallet, ofc they’d dump you, or else, they’d have to hide their relationship. Life will be hard.
Anybody that loves Thailand and USA is my friend. Good job bro.
I hanged out once with a passport bro from France. He kept complaining that in France women prefer to be with their cats than with a partner. He also complain that Southeast Asia is beautiful but dirty like air quality is not good. He also said that women in Vietnam are so gorgeous but again he complain that they can't speak English. No wonder he's still single at 38.
Did the whole bus clap as well?
@@lukei.1227yeah the French men complained about them not speaking English ? 😂 I’ll take things that never happened for 500 Alex
You know what....simpler life is better. But you only could enjoy it once you simply ignore peer pressure.
Not all women in Thailand act the same. I met some of the worst types of Thai women during my week-long trip in Bangkok. These are the types who work in bars and as "freelancers". If you come out here to meet women, I would highly advise you to stay away from women who work in these establishments that cater to tourists.
Umm. Yeah... How are the prostitutes in the country where you are from? Are they good women???
It’s not about not to date bar girls/freelancer girls in Thailand but not to date any bar girls/freelancer in any countries also onlyfan girl in US.

Here is my take on Thailand as someone who has been here for two years. As for love, it does exist, but it does come with a price. Women in Thailand are looking for a guy who can take care of them financially, combined with them taking care of their family.
Unless you're willing to dish out your hard-earned money and resources for these women, then that is the reality of Thai women. The country lacks any social welfare system, the wages are super low, and Thai people can't really express their opinions on the country, as laws are there to punish them for speaking up. So you'll see nothing but positive things in Thailand as compared to the U.S., where they have First Amendment laws for its citizens.
I've seen Paul's previous video, and the guy claims he makes $150,000 USD per year, which is like making $1,000,000 USD in Thailand, so he can pick and choose the type of partner he would like to get into a relationship with. He will have an amazing life living in Thailand with that type of salary. Thailand only wants folks with money entering their country.
The fact that they had to use Passport Bro to generate clicks tells me he doesn't respect or appreciate the movement, as it was more intended for black men to seek love overseas. He's just using this interview & name (passport bro) to boost his public image.

your a brokie thats all
$150k USD in high COL areas like where Paul is living in Thonglor is comparable to more like $450k USD in a high COL US city like LA. Its very easy to blow through crazy amounts of money in Bangkok, as it is in LA. The hiso in Bangkok can throw around 100k baht on trinkets. The prices in high end restaurants, shopping, hotels, clubs, bars etc relative to the mid range establishments reflect this. The high end places have prices to match high COL areas in the US, dollar for dollar. You can easily drop $600 on dinner in Bangkok.
Bro, if you're broke and poor, just admit it. Paul is a winner by most measurements.
Taking care of her family? What kind of women did you meet? Let me tell you that no middle class people would expect you to take care of their families (especially Bangkokians). Maybe you dated Isaan bar girl type?

successful PP Bro here. 4 trips to the Philippines since October 2023. I have a beautiful filipina fiancee now, and will live there permanently Feb 2024. would never date a western woman ever again, waste of time,
Western women often come across as hostile to me even. And they still want men to be the breadwinner, while wanting to earn the same, those two things realistically do not match so well. So average women look at average men who earn the same as below them or not good enough. This is what is going on, I live in europe and I notice how many good, kind men are not in a relationship. It leads me to believe the current setup doesnt work. Divorce rate is also high, I think 41% last data i saw. Some women will say men dont do enough around the house but the newest data says otherwise. If men and women are smart here they save up to have kids, if it becomes too much stress, so they can both take more time off. But women here are constantly told they should get out to work directly after having kids almost, in this competition with men that society/media pushes them to
I agree with this video, though I think describing western women as more "masculine" requires further elaboration. Western women are very independent and earn a lot, often more than men (which is great) but because women naturally desire a man who can protect them (known as hypergamous - which isn't unreasonable), there are less and less men that can match what they want. As a result, there's a lot of single men and single women. I've been dating in Australia for the last decade and a half and I can see it's becoming ever more difficult for the average man... with many men becoming resentful (and probably women as well). Overall, I am in a very good position to raise a family etc. I can support my partner, raise a family, I am healthy, own a house, car, very fit, have bought fitted suits so my fashion is good etc. I've tried numerous dating courses, talked to a lot of women, but in the end, nothing has happened.
Honestly, I'd love to find a partner here (logistically it's easier, lower risk and would be better for my career/finances)... but I am at the age where I've tried and tried and found nothing substantial, so I can't wait too much longer because I want a family myself. I really am just exhausted and tired of dating in the western world. I've had many girls ghost me, over look me, be indecisive, cause a lot of dramatic etc. and I am just so tired 😭.
I get more attention abroad so realistically speaking, that seems to be my only option now (as much as I would prefer otherwise).
If you don't view hypergamy and a hyper-sexualised society that western societies perpetuate as a problem, then yes you have a problem. Such things would not be tolerated or acceptable in Asian societies and carry severe punishments for breaking of traditional norms. Sure feminist culture wars do get imported to Asian countries too but governments are proactive to clamp down against things that challenge traditional gender roles and the nuclear family.
Men in western countries have to push back and assert more traditional values or there is little hope for the average western male. And we sure as hell don't want or won't tolerate a western man or woman trying to import western values into our countries.
This is the reason most date abroad, its too difficult for the avg man and avg woman to find each other in the west. And the truth is a lof of western women arent just looking for someone on their level, they still want men to have a higher social status than them, which is rather traditional. I dont think this will change soon so I support avg men going abroad to date. Go where you are wanted. Dont let hit pieces scare you
Women generally always want to date up (i.e. A man of higher status either financial or socially) and when the bar of men and women's social and economic status becomes more and more equal, the pool of men for women to select from becomes less and less. This is particularly why women say there arent many suitable men to date, alot of men are just invisible to women as men who don't meet their standards aren't even considered.
Hey, it's not only happened to men. Many women/girls have been ghosted too by men 😅

Misogyny by definition is the hatred of women. So how passport bros are misogynistic? You are telling me that men are travelling halfway around the world to hate on women from foreign countries. It's ridiculous. If a man find love and happiness overseas, good for him.
Its because they are trying to shame men in to marrying a local feminist, men in fact do not want to marry the local feminist, they want family oriented women. So there is a complete mismatch. And women who get educated and earn same as men are still looking for men that are a level above them, western women hasnt accepted this yet. Most men and women earn roughly the same in almost all countries where the birth rate is below replacement add on top of this the culture/behavior of feminist inspired western women and you start to get the idea
Western women are not smart.
My wifes from Asia. I can say this, she is more of a true partber than any woman iv been with in the uk. She hasnt had half her town in bed and underatands moral standing and being with her man. Never letting her go
Karen's absolutely mad cause he right! 😂
Yup
Tell me this then. If this is all about Asian values, why isn't this Korean-American guy in Korea? Koreans are Asians too. This has nothing to do with Asian women being more feminine. This is all about power dynamic where Thai is weaker economically
Which Karen?
Where? You’re delulu 😂
Karen! Where are you!! Been looking for her in the comment section hahaha.
This is such a fascinating trend. Seems like an older trend, re-branded.
5:15 One thing I love about Asian women is that they're not hostile. They can be smart, funny, stubborn - just about anything on the spectrum of human behaviour, BUT they're not hostile to men.
And it's so refreshing.
That's not even remotely close to the truth
In general more feminine, its culture.@@davidmun1601

@@davidmun1601 It is true. Has been for the same experience for me for 12 years in Asia. Any woman in the world might have a day or two where they are mad or hostile to men, for reasons that aren't related to the man or men in general. Unless you're out there harassing the same bar girls or trying to hard to convince someone of dating or sleeping with you, no Asian women do not have a general hostility to men like women in the west do more often. Of course if you look like a pork chop in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts and sandals, they might find you unattractive but that's on you buddy not on them.
@@carolinerondon8934 I just see this as men taking the easy way out. Traditionally, men had all the power in the dating world. That has changed in recent years. Women in the developed countries are finding out that they do not have to settle. Some men can't deal with that. So, now they go to less developed countries where they can still get away ding less.
It’s not like he went to Thailand just to find a woman though. Wouldn’t really consider him a passport bro
Some of the key elements have to do with an individual's personality. If you don't have the strong confidence to set boundaries to certain things that affect your ideal lifestyle based on where you live, those old issues will still follow you. In Asian culture men still prefer women to be obedient, in Western culture women speak up when they see issues Men get scared and say they are too strong. I don't think it's gender, religion, or culture. It's choosing to be "Authentic" and appreciate your partner loves you enough to share their opinion. What you see is what you get! All applied to both straight and LGBTQR couples. 🍻
he just said what a lot of men are thinking
"If a woman loves her man and trusts her man, she will submit to his decision."
Riiight.
Tell that to my mother.
My parents were born and raised and got married in China. Fast forward to the present day, who is the boss of the house? Mom.
I have heard of foreigners who complain about Chinese men and women who focus more on the children than on the spouses whereas, in western cultures, I think people tend to focus more on themselves, their spouses and then their kids.
As a foreigner with lots of half Chinese neighbors, they are brilliant with their children. So much invested time and energy which is admirable. My wife and I watched Chinese couples in the UK and Asia and as an outsider it looked like a financial transaction, they didn't talk or cuddle or show any signs of being married aside from general respect for one another but this is likely because we don't understand relationship dynamics of Chinese people. But it has to be said, brilliant work ethic and the men do everything to support their families
@@larkop6504 The Chinese do have a strong work ethic, and this fact is also why the Taiwanese workers (who are ethnically Chinese) and American workers of TSMC based in the USA are having trouble getting along. The American workers value their own work-life balance and having the time to spend with family, but from the Chinese work culture standpoint, this just means laziness. The Taiwanese workers are more willing to put their heart, soul and mind into their own work, and they and their own families support the work that they do. I'd say it's a different kind of work-life balance--one that takes work as the priority and that adjusts the life around work. It acknowledges that the work brings money/food on the table, and the children just have to accept that. American children, I think, tend to be more individualistic, and their parents tend to be more individualistic as well. For Americans, a work-life balance would mean keeping everything completely separate and unaccommodating and making sure that life gets priority. I also think this is stemmed from the analytic thinking preference in the West where something will be thought out individually, without consideration of context. In the East, people prefer more holistic thinking. There is actually a TH-camr--maybe two--who talks about Western vs Eastern UX design, and how the design itself is geared towards western populations or eastern populations; however, I don't think it's just cultural but also linguistic. I think the grammar forces people to think in a certain way. In English and other European languages, the most specific thing like the day comes first, then the month and then the year. In East Asian languages, the most general thing comes first (year), then the month and finally the day. I think if the grammar goes from specific to general, then people tend to think about the detail first, then the context. But if the grammar goes from general to specific, then people will think about the context, then the detail.
The men do everything to support their families--true. But women do the same. Urban Chinese women usually work like their husbands. Rural Chinese women may actually become housewives. But if the family needs money, then the women will work too. Maybe find work to do in the city or take the agricultural products and sell them in the city. They usually don't idle around. Because both men and women usually work, it is the grandparents who usually take care of their own grandchildren. Being the housewife is actually very risky business. If the husband can't work anymore, and the wife doesn't have any recent work experience that would be relevant to the workplace, then the family essentially has no income. So, if possible, the housewife needs to be on the look-out for moneymaking opportunities from home.
Nothing new about finding a wife outside the US. Been happening since Spanish American War.

and you already know why😂
They do actually.
I don't know, I thought you guys only do arranged marriage? These guys are looking for love or one-night stands, they won't come to a conservative country like India known for caste barriers, untouchability and honour killings
Some do. It just depends on if you import a lot of western culture including feminist culture wars from the west. Sadly India was colonised a lot by Britain and now with American culture. We need to go back to our desi roots
do indian woman like asian men?
What if the woman wants children given cultural reasons or other reasons, but the Passport Bro doesn't want any?
How about having half children, where the male child could look more Asian?
Glad that you're happy Paul. Yes it does feel like there are too many contradictions when trying to date back home. People expect "traditional" partners but they themselves adhere to "modern" tendencies. But have you considered that this goes both ways, not just on women? Many many guys these days want to have casual sex with a lot of girls and prefer situationships to actual commitment. With women becoming more aware of their autonomy allowed by our laws (though that is decreasing, see Roe v Wade), social media creators pushing relationship ragebait for views, and too many echo-chambers abound, nobody wants to be played. Guess what happens? Men and women start to play each other and feed into the narrative that "modern/western men/women are trash".
Asian women are not as different as you want to imagine, regardless of how Hollywood or porn like to spin the narrative of a submissive and sensual being. More often than not in Asian countries (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and likely Thailand), the wife becomes the boss of the house and not in a good way, because that's how they grew up in their household. So much for submitting to the man.
I don't know you and what you do in your relationship dynamic, but I'm fairly certain that you being a digital nomad from the US (aka having more money than the average local man) played a big part in the amount of willing women who initially matched with you on dating apps, and what your current gf will put up with. If she's submitting to you often as opposed to if she were with another Thai man, probably it's because of your passport and money.
In any case you're 2.5 years strong with Ton-nao, so I wish you the best!
“many many guys just want casual….” You are talking about the top 20 per of guys. Most guys are not getting action like that.

Thailand is extremely status oriented and most Thai people hustle and grind far harden than any American.. 6 and 7 day workweeks are common.
He’s come up with nonsensical theories based on totally incorrect assumptions about Thailand, Thai people or Thai women… instead of just admitting he moved to a poorer country and less competitive dating environment where his money and status makes his life easier.
That’s literally all any of these guys are doing and frankly I get it and don’t really fault them for making that decision.
But just admit it and stop inventing stupid theories like your some scholarly critic.
I followed Paul since his early days doing the Minoxidil beard videos.
I disagree that "asian women" are more traditional or feminine. I dont think its Asian vs western but more like developed/educated vs lesser develop/educated.

Passport bro? He just another typical Asian man 😅
Passport bros are any man of any race.
But his views are westernized
Paul Lee’s story highlights a fascinating trend among young men seeking traditional relationships abroad. He praises Asian women for being more feminine, family-oriented, and respectful, contrasting this with the perception of many Western women, who he feels can be overly independent or critical, sometimes labeled as 'Karens' in pop culture. While critics argue this trend exploits economic and social imbalances, it’s also clear that Asian women are making their own choices and seem to embody qualities these men value deeply. Does this say more about cultural differences or shifting relationship priorities in the West?
Then tell me this. Why Thailand? This guy is Korean-American. If the values he is looking for is truly just Asian, why not Korea? Last I checked, Korea is in Asia. He is there because of the power dynamics

Western women are more masculine. Really? You consider them masculine if they are more career oriented. I don't think so. Priorities differ from person to person, don't club it into gender roles. What about men who cook? Are they more feminine? All women care for their man, whether Asian or not. Who are you? Asian American or "American American"?

@ronnie5329 you mean to say that all those western men who have western women as partners are not masculine enough. Sorry but I don't agree with you. Many western women are career oriented but still look after the family. If you want a partner who is like a slave to fulfill all your needs and you are a king then something is wrong with you. Responsibility should be shared.
@@ronnie5329 better than asian women from developing countries, most of them are gold diggers. I find western women are better looking than asian women from developing countries - better fashion.
They are masculine. Especially in blue states. Only conservative women are good.
Passport bros ftw
I still wonder what the actual word he tried to say in Thai is. “Jeung” means “therefore”.😂
I think he meant "je-ang" (เจ๋ง), which means cool.
@@Demonfireangelyeah could be. 😀
Yea, I'm a passport bro too. SE Asian women are very sweet. You just can't get that anywhere else
Grew up in Canada for 14 years but I found my wife in Asia. I've been married for 32 years.
I prefer women in Asia because I wanted a woman that has an opinion but only when asked 😁
Clearly you haven't met me.
I'd love to get married it's always been a dream of mine since i was little, but other women where i live hate this apparently
i even need to get used to tell and lead! i was like we are equal mindset!
I stay long term at Philippines and Mexico. You already know why.
Mabuhay
Interviewer is nasty. makes fun of his Thai and then says he’s leaning thai to impress women
nah she just speaking facts
@ making fun of somebody learning a new language is ridiculous
It just shows how western women are crybabies and will end up alone.
I only date immigrants.
The main thing is they have Asian cultural values. Ideally this should be for everyone looking to get married as it's a very strong expectation for people to get married and live in harmony between husband and wife in a normal gender roles.
enjoy while it last , philippines is getting woke fast.
@@phoenixdown1947 Yeah the nations which are colonised or controlled by the USA are most at risk like Japan, The Phillipines and South Korea. This is the consequence of submitting to American culture including importing the culture wars. Other nations which have not imported this or have sovereignty over their population will be able to enforce traditional gender roles to ensure the stability of their society. Understandable that Japanese, Filipinos and Koreans are not very smart when it comes to societal long-term thinking
順便喚起，『亞細亞』這概念是歐洲哲學的勸解。
況且，『亞美利加』這辭源是從哪兒來？！
@@8August1988 Yes we go off the history of the last few hundreds of years and even thousands. We all live on the Asian continent. The cultural separation is very real as you see Turkey and Russia are the bridge between Asia and Europe. I live in the UK and have travelled around many countries here and in the East. Westerners have lost any concept of traditional or family values, the society here is very individualistic and selfish. Everything is always an argument even when it becomes damaging to the common good two people can do together by working together.
I know Taiwan has new cultural issues as it has imported a lot of western culture, similar to what we see in South Korea and Japan. If you are smart you would reverse this somewhat, as we see in my ancestral country of India. If you don't then Taiwan, South Korea and Japan will disappear within one or two generations
@@Swiplys: “Waste your life, learn to speak a foreign language
By Anthony Browne (Monday, 23rd December 2002)
We all know le problème: we are a nation of monoglots, linguistically challenged and so culturally inferior and economically constrained. Only one in four of us can claim to speak in foreign tongues, whereas our chic European chums babble away in a veritable Babel. European governments have lobbied, and the British Government has responded: from 2010 every primary school shall teach foreign. It’s a further good intention paving the road to ruin of our education system. We should shrug off our linguistic hang-ups, and instead of reinforcing language teaching, abolish it tout de suite.
Ordering everyone to learn another language is as pointless as ordering everyone to dig holes and fill them up. The reward for our ancestors persuading the rest of the world to speak English is that there is no need for us to learn what the rest of the world speaks.
All the time we spend learning another language, we should spend instead learning something useful - like economics, business studies, politics, law or computer science. If everyone in the country were forced to study economics as remorselessly as they are forced to learn French, then Britain would be in a far better state (true reform of the NHS would have happened decades ago).
Learning another language may make you feel clever, but it is no longer necessary for speaking with the foreigners you’re most likely to want to speak to: the educated and those working in tourism. Ever regretted you didn’t spend years learning German because of problems communicating with German labourers? I thought not.
I spent three hours a week for six years learning French, but it has proved a total waste of time. I have only needed it on a handful of occasions, and even then it was tourist French learnable in a couple of weeks. I have family friends in France, and have had many enjoyable conversations with our Gallic neighbours, but always in English. I have extended family in Norway and Denmark, but hardly speak either language because I never get the chance: all my Scandinavian relatives speak perfect English.
In contrast to all our continental cousins, Britain is part of the Anglosphere, by far the most powerful linguistic bloc in the world: the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand - as well as countries such as South Africa and India where English is the language of business and politics. Three of the G7 countries are anglophone.
Even outside the Anglosphere you can thrive with impunity as an English monoglot: you can work with no problems in the European Commission, the European Central Bank and countless multinational companies around the world. There is no obvious alternative language - French is only useful in a couple of developed countries and North Africa, and Spanish helps you on holiday in Cuba.
Don’t get me wrong: I understand the smug satisfaction of mastering another tongue, but it is damaging to force it on the entire population. European children spend 15 per cent of their time learning foreign languages by the age of ten - imagine the advantages we would have if our kids did something more interesting in that time than learning how to ask for un café.
The Government is swimming against the tide of history: as more people learn English, the more pointless it is for Britons to learn another language. There are fewer and fewer people in the world worth speaking to who don’t speak English. Already the number of people studying languages at A level in Britain is plummeting.
The Government’s recent announcement that it is no longer compulsory to learn a foreign language up to GCSE is a welcome dose of reality. But it should go the whole hog, and stop forcing everyone to learn useless knowledge that they will never need, and hardly ever use.”

This guy is on so many channels
Hopefully Mr Paul finds what he is looking for in Thailand.
Five years in Thailand and you only know slang words?
"submit" ... oh boy... perhaps western women wasn't this guys issue ... how about his attitude.
tbf its not just this guy, its a lot of guys who grew up in the west. Also most guys prefer feminine girls and girls who value traditional girls. Right or wrong but thats the reality.
@ the problem is not wanting a feminine woman , there is no issue , using words like submit is the issue … he’s Asian himself or did he forget that fact 😂 Asian men are very feminine to westerners lol
@@mn8931facts
In the guise of husband and wife raising kids, this is completely normal and the way of the world. For sex tourism and superficial relationships, this is not tolerated by Asian society at large
“Submit” is a term that’s been politicized and hijacked as a misogynistic term. I don’t mean it in the sense that a submissive person is being dominated or has less power or worth. It means that in the traditional sense, a woman would trust her man’s leadership and direction. It’s not a combative or selfish pursuit.
100 matches, I'm worried. How many are women
Maybe half?
He is full of nonsense, and no thai is interested in a asian American guy that looks 45 years old. I bet he has a gf that doesn't work 😂. Its like anywhere else if you have money its easy to find a gf
Sounds like you have never been to Thailand, buddy. Yes, money is important, but this guy isn't rich. Many Thailand women want a loyal, mature man who can provide. Most prefer a man older than themselves.
Thai women seem very similar to Eastern European women. The older the man is the more attractive the younger girl finds you. Why? Because you are seen as wise and mature.
@@josephbranch2342 I am sure he is very rich by Thai standard. An average man from developed country is rich in Thailand. If he has the same earning powder as an average Thai man, no Thai woman will be interested.
Paulee really embarrassing the passport bro moniker 😂
look at that guy. he couldn't find a mate in america if his life depended on it
What do you mean?
Because in the west, Asian guys are generally considered the least attractive. But this Asian guy is kinda unattractive too because he has acne on his face
nonsense... he is jacked, succesful, influencer, wealthy
Yea he definition of passport bro. Could not get any girls in his home country and come Thailand download dating apps and meeting just freelancers for payment
Why do Chinese women prefer a foreigner to Chinese🇨🇳 men?
Hollywood and better life. Just like how western women are now attracted to Korean men. Its Kpop and Kdrama.
@@mn8931uhm no western women especially white women majority sticks with white men tho
@@alunsinamagwayen511 what world do you live in? white women has the highest rate of dating outside their race, similar to asian women.
@@alunsinamagwayen511 and the majority of Chinese women stick with Chinese men. China is homogenous like Korea and Japan
Many Asian women prefer White men of Hollywood and colorist attitudes. Dark skin laborer, pale skin royalty.
He is talking about the kind of society not the women ...He changes the location. So , this doesn't have to do with the women.... It s more with the the temperature 🌡️ the climate and the culture
彼は面白い😂🎉
Because he's didn't fit what korean american women wants lol
What is it you think Korean American women want? Lol
@iPaulLee im sure you know it 😜
@@alunsinamagwayen511what do you think? Lol
I am with you on this. If Asian women really do offer the traits that Western women don't, then why is he going to Thailand, and not to Korea? He is a Korean-American, and Koreans are Asians.
@@davidmun1601 Its all about economics, theres a reason passport bros go to poorer countries and not developed ones. This is why I never rocked with it. Local men can not compete with rich foreigners
Passport bro? More like one country's trash is another country's treasure
Nah, just stay quiet. You don't know what you are talking about. Let these men be happy, and you just keep crying alone.
Dude is just spouting red pill manosphere talking points
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm in the middle. I prefer Asian women who lived part of their lives in Asia and the US. I'm not going to be a free ride.
This guy looks like the Asian version of Todd from Breaking Bad
isn't passport bro only for white guys?
It's for every man in every race.

This guy is such a clown lol
Thanks lol
He wants a lap-dog is all I say. A relationship should never be based on all what he says.
And why insult Western women for reasons of his own. Am an Asian woman and I’d never wish for a man like him for my daughter nor would I ever want my sons to think like him. Shameful!
