Why are increasing numbers of young men choosing to leave Western countries and pursue life as digital nomads or 'passport bros' in Southeast Asia or Latin America? Please give me your "Top 3" reasons
30 Responses
I assume they want to have a better life where their money will go further. They may meet women to have sex and this can be done without local police getting involved since the criminal is far from home.
1) The cost of living is too high in the United States right now. 2) Digital / remote work is more commonly accepted now, and people can work from anywhere. 3) Women in the U.S. tend to be more selective about their dating and marriage partners, and women in other countries may not be as picky.
If this is true I think the top reason is just because people have a natural curiosity to explore. I also think that Americans have embraced world citizenry and we have more of an appreciation for other cultures in our country. I also think that travel is more accessible and less affordable than it was in previous generations. All three of these things combined would lead to a scenario where individuals have a greater interest in traveling to other countries
1) ability to see the world. 2) not being tied down to a specific place. 3) flexibility
They feel that the place is more secure in terms on the internet space, I feel also there is a lot of untapped digital potential in those countries as compared to the east and my last reason is that they just want to explore the world in turn to cure curiosity.
They want to experience true freedom. They want to make their money go farther. They want to live a cheaper life.
I believe cost of life is the main reason. Western countries are expensive.
Firstly these men probably lack purpose and seek some kind of adventure to fill a hole they feel since their everyday lives are boring. Second, these young men probably figure that they need to do this while they are young or they'll never get the chance as they settle down with kids and a wife. Third these men are probably wealthy and have the money to pursue something like predigest on social media, looking for landscapes and lives that will get them some kind of recognition.
-Social media-Wealth-Feeling bored
1. They are weak and can't handle competition.2. Poor parenting.3. It seems cool and gives them something to identify with to boost their esteem.
My top three reasons would be variety in life, rising cost of living, and the reduction in the value in having a family
its pretty much because the laws in western countries are heavily against men, especially when it comes to divorce where men lose all their wealth and kids
1. American women are to spoiled and demanding. 2. Foreign women have better values in most cases.3. American women acting to manly. Men want feminine women.
1) Young men have grown tired of expectations and social norms in Western countries2) It is becoming too expensive to live in Western countries3) The digital age makes it easier to live in various places due to increased communication and ability to work abroad
Because it is 1) getting too expensive, 2) these nations are becoming more dangerous and 3) they are excited to travel to new places.
Economics reasons. The dollar goes further and there is more opportunity Gender Norm: Some areas with traditional gender norms appeal to western men.Lack of affordable housing in the U.S. The U.S. has far too many immigrants which has driven the cost of housing up and wages down.
Cost of living, remote work opportunities, and quality of life and adventure
Reason 1 is for a better life. Reason 2 they are in fear of their life where they are now. Reason 3 for education.
I have not heard of this trend previously. Perhaps they feel they need to sow their wild oats in another land before returning home? It seems a strange proposition to me.
They are becoming tired of Western women and datingLower cost of living in Asia and Latin American countriesA defeatist mindset, thinking that the grass is greener on the other side
Rent is cheap in those areas. They like Asian or latin women. Thye think its easy and cool to do.
1) Looking for adventure. 2) Not satisfied with Western Values and looking for more traditional conservative cultures. 3) They do it because it is exotic and makes them feel unique.
They want to show off their life on social media. They also know that it is cheaper to live and your money goes further. I also think they want to try new cultures and foods
Reason 1. It is fun and exciting to see new places. Reason 2. It gives them the freedom to leave some place they don't like. Reason 3. It's cool and gets them women.
I think the top 3 reasons why young men are choosing to leave western countries and pursue life as digital nomads is because its' an exciting new lifestyle which allows them to escape the mundane life that can occur when living in one place for very long. It's a lifestyle that also allows them to learn about other countries and cultures, which are experiences that can be a lot more difficult to learn about otherwise. It's also a very popular form of content on social media, which would encourage them to take on a lifestyle that's fully dedicated to this while being able to make a living through the revenue they generate through this content.
I think that men probably think that they have a better chance of finding a loyal wife in such places, or at least doing better on the dating market there. I think that they believe they'll find more traditional male-female relational dynamics in foreign countries. I assume that most men feel that Western culture has become quite hostile towards males, and men acting like men is now considered "toxic." In countries with more traditional relational and gender dynamics and roles, men think they'll be happier and lead more satisfying lives. And finally, I think this trend probably just speaks to the discontent of people in modern life. We've become so terribly aware of everyone else and what we're lacking in our lives, that all of us to some degree want to escape. So you see more people going "off grid" or living in tiny houses or shipping containers or doing these other unconventional things, eschewing mainstream life and getting out of that rat race. That tendency has always existed to some degree, as it's stressful and unsatisfying in many ways to compete with everyone else. However, the push towards that is stronger than ever because of our hyper-connected internet/social media world. And I think the actions of passport bros are fueled by this as well. The specific way it manifests for passport bros has more to do with the search for more traditional, more trustworthy females and traditional gender dynamics. But the desire to leave our culture is also exacerbated by this more general trend of wanting to leave the rat race that has so many people so stressed out.
1. it is cheaper. 2. It is easier to find women. 3. America is scary sometimes nowadays.
1. Because remote work is more prevalent and accepted, it allows young men the option to travel and see foreign countries.2. Southeast Asia and Latin America have areas where anything goes sexually and no one judges.3. Income goes a lot further in countries where the cost of living is a lot lower than in the US3.
- They want to live a different experience outside of the normal american lifestyle, searching for adventures.- There are some countries with new growing economies and cultures that are highly enticing to the young men.- They don't believe in the american values anymore and think that other countries with different political inclinations are better suited for them.
High health care costs in their home countries, housing expenses in their home countries, pursuing dating opportunities with the local women
