Fantastic background of this problem and the real dangers. By the end of it I realized how crazy these passport bros are. I thought you were talking about. Specific type of American male not all American males, but others probably thought you were talking about every American male and ever foreign woman in developing countries being the same. I got married in the ex-Soviet union in the late 90s after living there for two years, and dated the woman in a traditional manner. Of course money and poverty had something to do with it, as she survived in a college in Siberia on twenty dollars a semester. That’s poverty. Getting the documentation to get married was excruciating and long. Now she is an MBA and computer programmer making more than me and I’m proud of her. But I’m not a passport bro of that subset. There are certainly naive people in this subset who have gotten suckered and taken captive and killed by kidnappers who posted those profiles and made those women “fall in love” and enticed those men to visit the country and fall into a trapped. Those men in Colombia who were killed after being kidnapped are NOT theoretical humans on some internet over-generalized argument and their parents who buried them are real. They could have used your warning before hand. There’s nothing wrong with getting warning that reflect reality even if it is not your reality and experience. These dating mill criminal organization are real, and a lot of the women are not. A warning is just that, a warning.
