The Passport Bros movement has grown significantly in recent years. This trend involves men traveling the world with little more than a passport and an adventurous spirit. The movement is a growing trend of men seeking an escape from their lives in the developed world, obsessed with achieving financial freedom. Through digital nomadism, micro-businesses, side hustles, to working unpaid internships for exposure - these passport bros seek to optimize their lives beyond cubicles and routines.
This trend has considerably impacted modern women’s views of masculinity and what it means to be a man. Many women feel like this movement enables men to travel to third-world countries where men can abuse women. They feel like Passport Bros are escaping responsibility because they aren't paying their way through traditional careers or contributing to society in meaningful ways. Additionally, some women see them as using their privilege of being able to travel when people in poverty can't.
Not surprisingly, the Passport Bros trend has gained some critics for its "objectifying behavior" toward women in other countries who are considered nothing more than objects for sexual conquest by many travelers abroad. There is also criticism that these men overlook cultural boundaries and act as if they own other places and cultures simply because they have stepped onto foreign lands with an American passport.
Almost all of the criticism against Passport Bros is bullshit. The critics purposefully describe Passport Bros as sex tourists. Attempting to shame them as sexually deprived losers that can't get women in their own country. They attempt to paint the picture that these men are so bad with women, that they have to pay for play with women overseas. Ironically, this criticism comes from the same women that beg men to pay for their Onlyfans every month.
This criticism, of course, is NOT the truth. Passport Bros are the opposite of sex tourists. They typically are looking for women that are wife material, or LTR's (long-term relationships).
Younger Passport Bros have stated they date overseas because "They are treated like actual human beings." Auston Holleman.
These critics are accusing Passport Bros for the very things they do. With all the videos on social media about "hot girls summer," their trips to Jamaica, and of course, being flown out to Dubai. (Research Dubai porta potties at your own peril.) It's "empowerment" for women to be sex tourists but shameful for men to look for wives overseas. It's another double standard.
The main issue with men becoming Passport Bros is that modern women saw these men as their backup plan. Modern women have their fun with the bad boys, but when they're too old and can't attract the bad boys anymore, they desperately seek a "nice guy'" to take care of them. Many of these Passport Bros were seen as "nice guys" by modern women. Meaning that modern women's backup plan is choosing to leave them alone with their cats while they go and find quality women elsewhere.
The marriage rate is already the lowest in American history. The birth rate is way down. Men are choosing not to go to college in favor of blue-collar careers. The shaming language "news" medias and modern women use against men doesn't work anymore. Clearly, America is divided and isn't going to rise to its former glory.
