Are foreign women better for my lonely brother?
13 years ago
Hi all,
My name is Rizalyn. I'm new here and I have a question for everyone. My brother is kind of
lonely. He doesn't have many friends and is looking for a woman who will love and accept him.
Even though he's a sweet and wonderful guy, he just has no luck with the opposite sex. For
some reason, the women he meets around here just won't give him a chance. I've tried all I can
to help him, but to no avail.
Recently, he's been exploring the concept of foreign brides and considering possibly even
living overseas. He found a website that inspired him and convinced him of this endeavor too.
So I'm wondering, since some of you seem to have experience living overseas, can you tell me
if this is a wise choice for him, to find love and friendship overseas? Are foreign women
somehow better or more accepting? Or will they just use him to try to get a green card and for
his money? I'm kind of worried about him and don't wanna see him disappointed or hurt again.
He ecstatically showed me these comparisons from one of the sites he frequents that inspired
him.

And these general comparisons on its main page:
http://www.happierabroad.com
This site makes a lot of bold black and white claims about women in America vs. other
countries, as well as the social atmosphere and how much more inclusive it is overseas. The
guys on the forum at the site above have motivated him too, ever since he started posting
there.
So basically I'm wondering how accurate such comparisons as the ones at the links above are?
Are foreign women really more friendly and less shallow and less materialistic than here in
America? Or is that just a stereotype? And most importantly, will they treat him better so
that he will be happier? Also, are people more friendly and inclusive in general overseas, as
the link above claims? I guess I can kind of see the latter at least cause in America, we are
more into our privacy and don't talk to our neighbors much, so I can see how some collectivist
cultures might seem more inclusive. But the foreign women part I'm not so sure. I just want
what's best for my brother.
Now I know that there are cultural differences between countries, but are they really as great
as that site makes them out to be? Or are they being exaggerated?
I guess I could have asked the folks in the forum of the site he visits above, but I know that
being fans of that site, they are going to be biased towards it. So I thought it'd be better
to get a more neutral third party opinion instead. That's why I came here.
So anyway, I am wondering how accurate the claims of that site are, and whether my brother is
making a wise choice or not. And if he is, which country should he go to? Can anyone here
share their experiences in this area? I just want what's best for him.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
