Comment on Love is blind

I was advised once as a young man to travel there. It’s the place where the ratio of beauty between men and women is the furthest off kilter, and that an attractive American with a good job could find a woman with supermodel beauty.
Sounded creepy, never did it. If I go there it won’t be for that reason. Just wanted to add that someone in a mentor position to me advised it for that reason. Maybe there’s something to it

That’s absolutely disgusting. Reminds me of these subreddits where men come together to discuss countries based on how traditional the women are + how desperate (so easier to get a wife) + how beneficial it would be to have a passport in that country. They talked about the women as if they were dog breeds.

Oh Jesus that last sentence put into words an ambiguous uneasy feeling I’ve had about those folks. I hate it, thank you.

It’s not as disgusting as your comparison. It’s not fetishizing a certain people, but rather just pointing out that you can be much more successful in dating where the local men tend to be ugly.
