My take on the American women looking overseas for men: Desperate and delusional. They want the prototypical macho man (bonus points for being handsome to the point of being out of their league) but the macho man must also respect that she is an “American woman and we don’t put up with that bullshit” and let her do things that fly in the face of all traditions and social mores the guy is used to.
My take on the American men looking overseas for women girls Desperate and delusional. They don’t want American women because those women are headstrong. These men view foreign girls to be submissive and will be in awe of the men regardless of their actual circumstances in life (hello Closet Mom). If the man is actually wealthy or even just doing alright for himself, any and every expense the girl wants to make is viewed as proof of her being a gold digger. And yet the American Mans history of looking for very young women in impoverished countries somehow doesn’t count as being a sex tourist…hmm.
My ovaries crawled into themselves when I saw Closet Mom, I can’t imagine what Anali thought. No, I take that back as I know what she thought “I left Peru so I could become my crazy mother in laws caretaker for the rest of my life?!”
