Go to r/passportbros if you want to see the cringier side of international relationships.

 

Not judging any particular relationship or people who find international love online I fall in that camp, so I’d be hypocritical if I was.
 

But there’s a subculture both within the U.S. and in some specific countries of marriages where the older financially established male U.S. citizen marries a younger woman from one of a handful of countries who is madly in love with him.

 

If a 25 year old woman wouldn’t fall in love with a 55 year old man from her own country, I doubt they’d fall in love with a 55 year old man from a foreign country. That’s my view at least.

And of course MENA

Yep. The geographies I was referencing were northern South America, parts of Southeast Asia, and MENA. There’s a subculture in all of those areas of women looking for older American men.
 

More related to OP, Central America doesn’t tend to have it for people in Central America looking for consular processing, but once they’re here trying to find a spouse and adjust is also a cultural thing for many — that even impacts gay Central Americans in the U.S., which isn’t usually a thing for consular processing.

And then Nigeria is its own thing, but usually you don’t get many older men looking for wives there. The most common thing there is people paying for friends of people they know in the U.S. to marry them.

 

All that to say, online dating is great, and there’s no issue doing it internationally. Worked for me. But people should be aware of what the culture surrounding it and immigration is if it’s something they’re going to do.
