What is a passport bro? TikTokers spark debate as they travel the world to date women Digital Bromad \/ TikTokA group of guys on TikTok, who call themselves passport bros, are documenting their travels on the platform where they have the goal of meeting and dating women across the globe \u2013 and viewers have mixed feeling about it. Since the global travel restrictions have been lifted, more people than ever are exploring the nomad lifestyle. With borders finally being open again, some people have taken the opportunity to both travel and find love at the same time. A TikTok posted by the self-described passport bro Austin Abeyta has divided users with his lifestyle choices. In this video, he said: \u201cPassport bros are right; dating overseas is easier for a variety of reasons.\u201d \u201cA lot of young men in America are frustrated with the dating scene there. I am a firm believer in a free market that allows the best outcomes for everyone involved,\u201d Austin told Insider. In his video, Austin went on to name the three main reasons why he thought dating abroad was easier compared to the US. These included: local women seeing passport bros as \u201cexotic\u201d people with an accent, people loving to show off their countries while on dates, and the stereotype that all Americans are rich. \u201cKind of true, because our currency is, like, the global currency,\u201d Austin said. \u201cIf you make $60,000 a year, you can live like you made $120,000 a year pretty comfortably.\u201d What is a \u201cpassport bro\u201d? According to the Urban Dictionary, passport bros are men who have chosen to seek out foreign women, typically from other countries, for relationships. The description reads: \u201cThey believe that Western women have been influenced by cultural and societal pressures to behave in a certain way, and that by seeking out foreign women, they can find a more authentic, fulfilling, and harmonious relationship. This is seen as a way to restore the natural balance between masculine and feminine energy, and to avoid the \u201cwickedness\u201d of Western women.\u201d This unconventional way of dating often results in the group getting sent a lot of hate, mainly with people wondering what\u2019s wrong with the women in the countries they\u2019re from. Viewers can\u2019t decide what to think of the passport bros With the hashtag #passportbros having amassed almost 420 million views on TikTok, viewers can\u2019t decide what to think about guys living this alternative lifestyle. With several videos having been made about the topic, arguing that the passport bros lifestyle is \u201cwrong\u201d, some people are also arguing that they\u2019ve done \u201cthe right thing\u201d of getting out of the US to explore. Commenting on one of Austin\u2019s videos, one person wrote: \u201cPeople from the US are so ignorant..they automatically assume that if American men date outside the US\u2026 Men are paying\/exploiting women to date.\u201d Another argued: \u201cDating aside, the cost of living in these places is less. If you\u2019re a digital worker, it makes sense to move there. You have a better quality of life.\u201d \u201cBeing a tall white dude with even a small amount of money relatively was the biggest cheat code in Peru dude,\u201d a third person said. However, some still weren\u2019t convinced about the lifestyle, as one argued: \u201cI think it\u2019s weird to solely go to another country, especially the poorer ones just to get at women bc ur Americans.\u201d \u201cHow is this different from a mail-order bride?\u201d another asked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
