This Passport Bro phenomenon is really interesting. In some ways Planet-Love was the gateway to this Passport Bro tidal wave, and in my opinion think its actually one in the same.
Planet-Love was/is about options for dating and marriage, so is P-L.
There are some distinct differences however. As I stated in my Miscellaneous Ramblings #2 I think most of the Passport Bros are really focused on mongering (smashing lots of foreign) women. Of course this is my opinion, I haven't seen anything to encourage me that the movement is about seeking marriage.
The most influential red-pill podcast for men on the planet is Fresh and Fit. I am a regular watcher. Also many other Red Pill content has contributed to the idea that you should go where the women are Fit, Fun, Feminine and submissive and will make excellent potential wives (Coach Red Pill, Kevin Samuels, Pearly Things, etc.). Some focused on finding a wife but all focused on the reality of female nature in today's relationship dynamic.
But Passport Bro's? It will be interesting to see how this phenomenon plays out over the next few years.
Looking for wives or looking to smash?
Based on the definition of Passport Bro, it really defines me and every other man on P-L
This website was so helpful in guiding me in my search for a wife. It was peer driven with some really great men that had a singular focus- helping each man find the best wife possible and providing the best real world advice with no spin no bull.
I really think if a Passport Bro needs expert guidance on finding a foreign spouse this is the place to start.
When I started looking for a wife I really had simple clear and sincere motivations, take a look at my posts.
Some of my criteria were (not in any particular order of importance)
Respectful
Honest and Sincere
Feminine
Loving
Sex
Good Partner/Wife/Mother
Hard Working
Younger than me (Half my age + 7yrs was my measure)
Deal breakers, red flags:
feminist or non-traditional
independent woman
hooker/sugar baby/open minded
well travelled with pictures and posts
children by multiple men and never married once
previously divorced/separated
All the selection criteria and the deal breakers and red flags must be put in perspective. This is where P-L is so valuable because it brings together the expert opinions of all the members who really want to see men have success in finding a foreign spouse.
Was I a Passport Bro?
Let's talk about it
More to come....Next Up Breakdown of selection criteria and red flags

Cool to see this place still going (sort of). I started asking questions here in 2018/2019? Met a Colombiana from a low-estrato (red flag > 90% of the time, sorry but it is what it is), she was awful, mostly in her severe lack of ambition/effort...thank god I didn't force that one. Decided to keep at it and made another trip in early 2020 (just before covid ramped up) and met my now-wife. we are married 2 years next month! I got myself a real keeper, already has done a cross-country move and next year we are moving to Italy for 3 yrs. (life of a Sailor...). The green card process wasn't much fun with all the waiting for work permission/travel document but she has her green card now. I'm thankful as she works a full time job bringing in a legit second income for our household.
I'm on the back half of my military career, just a few more assignments, then retirement! Unsure if we will stay in the states, but we do have a plot of land just outside Cartagena (near family)...plan to build a small casita there for family visits.
I hope other guys are still keeping options open for "the one" to be found outside the US. Best advice as we all know is get off WhatsApp, the dating sites, etc. and get down there/out there/wherever there is, but be there in person!
Always great to hear success stories!!! Best of luck to you and your wife!!

Hi Chris, I lived in Woodland Hills for many years but now live in a suburb of Washington DC for the last 14 years. I’ve been to the caraways many times when I lived in the valley! Congrats on a beautiful family.

Same in Colombia and Brazil. Relationships are predominantly transactional now. And it’s no one’s fault in my opinion. I think social media has a lot to do with it. No one’s satisfied with average now. Normal men want exceptionally beautiful women because they are constantly bombarded with images of them. They don’t have the status or money to get them in the US or Europe so they are hopping on planes. On the opposite side attractive women see other attractive women on social media going on lavish trips and receiving expensive gifts, so they are convinced that’s the treatment they’re entitled to because they are attractive. The stigma associated with being a prostitute or a gold-digger has all but disappeared. Women are being encouraged to act this way and any level of judgment from other people has now been deemed as “slut shaming.”
In addition to all this the institution of marriage in the Western World has lost all integrity. Men in the U.S. in particular are of the opinion it simply isn’t worth the risk. Considering women are normally the partners in a relationship that insist marriage is necessary act to solidify the commitment, the percentage of them filing for divorce after the fact is staggering! The initial popularity of the foreign bride movement finds its roots in single men that were frustrated after losing their families and fortunes in divorces. Now everyone’s in it for instant gratification and the notion of building any legacy or a future with a life partner is an afterthought. Interesting times we’re living in.

ZKG here,
I'm back in USA for an extended period working. Covid kinda changed my work location so more time in USA and less time in Asia.
Haven't posted for years....I really thought the P-L website was no more.
Good to see it still up and running but I scanned the posts. Not much activity....lots of new online outlets for dating and relationships. Time changes everything.
Anyways some thoughts and observations...
Philippines is changing (of course nothing stays the same).
First I think less serious men are coming to Phils for wives? Maybe I'm wrong but I see a lot more content online, tik-tok, facebook, youtube, instagram related to passport bros? Now this may be a somewhat generic term but it seems to hint of more of mongering than searching for a bride, is it just me thinking like this?
I've talked to a few guys at the airports, bars and just in casual meetings about this passport bro phenomenon. I never revealed I was married to pinay so they felt free to talk. In most cases these guys were focused on the fun aspect and not on finding a wife.
On the flip side, I've been helping a friend find a Filipina suitable for marriage. He is blind so I'm kinda playing his surrogate and making the initial contact performing some due diligence searching for red flags and then if they pass muster, I will hand off to him.
The vast majority of the Filipinas I chatted were garbage. Of course I have to say these women are from online dating sites so its not really representative sample of single Filipinas. In my experience 90% of online Filipina are hookers/prostitutes/sugar babies etc....i.e. garbage.
Regular Filipinas (non hookers) are not really looking to date a foreigner and are rarely online looking for a bf or husband. The maybe 5% who are looking to date a foreigner are comprised of regular pinays and prostitutes, all on the same dating platforms.
In maybe 300 contacts I found 1 that was decent. I really don't think meeting Filipinas online is worth the time, effort and expense. Also Filipinas lie. You may get exactly what you tell the Filipina you want! You will never know the real person. You may get an ex-hooker with a well used nookie!
This is of course my limited online search's so take it with a grain of salt. But in my opinion I think this is somewhat representative of today's reality.
Also, I think the sugar baby/sugar daddy movement has destroyed both sides and has created a lose/lose for women and men. The women lose because they get cash but are essentially glorified prostitutes, the men lose because they get the beautiful woman but are essentially JOHNS that lose the women when the cash runs out.
The sugar baby/sugar daddy movement is at epidemic levels in the Philippines, Its not really new here but its really exploded in the 10 yrs.
In my humble opinion a Filipina makes the best wife. But I really think its going to become more difficult to overcome these new issues.
Just my thoughts....
Back to work
Later

Next month we will be celebrating 17 years of marriage. All going well. We are living in Ottawa now with our 2 kids. To anyone that is interested they can search me up and read my story in the archives. My last login was almost 11 years ago, so if you have questions, then go ahead and ask but not sure when I’ll log back in. I did today just to see if this place still exists
