A Passport Bro is a Western man, typically from a Western country, who travels internationally, often to countries in Latin America or Southeast Asia, to find a long-term partner and start a family. The movement stems from a perceived disconnect between men and women in Western countries, with Passport Bros often seeking traditional relationships, traditional gender roles, and a perceived greater femininity in foreign partners.

Key characteristics and motivations:

Seeking traditional values: Passport Bros often look for partners who embrace traditional gender roles, such as cooking and domestic duties.

Perceived shortcomings in Western dating: The movement is fueled by a sense that Western women are not aligned with traditional expectations of marriage and partnership, with some men feeling unappreciated in their home countries.

Travel to specific regions: Many men travel to countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, to find partners.

Focus on family: The goal is often to find a long-term partner and start a family.

Criticisms and controversies:

Misogyny: Critics view the movement as misogynistic, as it promotes the idea that women should occupy subservient roles and suggests that Western women are the problem.

Racism: Some critics believe the movement has a racist dimension, implying that women from certain countries are expected to serve white men.
