I’m happy we’re getting more South American men (Manuel) and Asian men (Nick), but there are still some groups that seem to be ALWAYS male or ALWAYS female on this show. We’ve had countless women from the Philippines, but I would love to see a Philippino man marrying an American. Also, so many women from Columbia and Brazil, yet no men from these countries. Except Jose on the UK series. I would also love to see women from the Middle East/North Africa, we’ve seen a lot of men from these countries but never a woman. We’ve also had a few Indian men, but no Indian women just yet. What are some others you’d like to see?

    It probably just has to do with ratios. Like, there’s probably more American men looking for Filipina or Brazilian women than there are American women looking for Filipino or Brazilian men.

    One thing that just occurred to me is that the online dating thing tends to have American men and foreign women, while American women meet foreign men on vacation. Countries where a single woman wouldn’t tend to go alone probably explains why there are few men on the show from those countries.

      I wouldn’t travel to Morocco, Egypt, or India alone, but we have had several men from those countries with American women. And it’s always worked out so well…/s

        Those men are usually the online dating couples, like Brittany (forgot the guy’s name), Azan/Nicole, Oussama/Debbie, etc. But also there’s a lot more visa-hunters in those relationships too (Mohammed/Danielle, Azan/Nicole, Oussama/Debbie, Sojaboy/Baby Girl Visa, etc)

      Well, the sketchier old woman/young boy-toy relationships started online- Angela/Michael, Laura/Aladin, BGL/Usman (Kim/Usman, too).
