It’s pretty exploitative but certainly better than “passport bros.” I wouldn’t judge a lonely guy for choosing to do this over the apps though, as a last resort.
E: maybe exploitative isn’t the right word. But I would rather not use this method where the person you find is less likely to love you for who you are, instead they’re likely to prefer you to the other options that were immediately available. It’s only exploitative if you’re a wealthy guy who goes to a poor area to do this and take advantage of desperate women.
I figure we’re at a point where, in the US, marriage for purely economic reasons is on at least some people’s radars, especially if it’s a way to get out of a dying no horse town.
Yeah that or it becoming like some Asian countries where one parent in a married couple goes to the city for huge portions of the year to work as a nanny, etc. and send money back. Either could at least make it harder for people in those towns to believe the cities are always on fire and running amok with armed robbers.
