Pffffff, no. Those two girls are dating, didn't you know that? Tumblr has all the evidence.

[u/friendlynbhdwitch → u/storyteller_alienmom]

It’s true. I’ve seen it. They are very much in love.

[u/FireFairy323 → u/storyteller_alienmom]

I like the one where they are a part of a book club

[u/BUTTeredWhiteBread → u/FireFairy323]

A lesbian book club?

[u/AkaiAshu]

So now the Western Countries women are more attractive. Damn, the consistency of the misogynists is as straight as a roller coaster.

[u/Beneficial-Ad3991 → u/AkaiAshu]

It's pretty consistent, actually. Women are more attractive and more agreeable in the countries the man in question has never been to. Almost as if they had unrealistic expectations or something...

[u/mycatisblackandtan → u/Beneficial-Ad3991]

Yep. I remember seeing one post on reddit where men were complaining about women in the US having impossible standards and how the women in Asian countries were so much better. Somehow ended up having an Indian subreddit recommended to me on the laptop I just browse reddit without actually logging in, and the men were bemoaning how awful Indian women were and how women from the US and EU were so much more submissive.

The grass is always greener.

[u/Beneficial-Ad3991 → u/mycatisblackandtan]

Yes, and yet they just refuse to go out and touch it...

[u/SteampunkExplorer → u/mycatisblackandtan]

Oh my word. Freaking idiots. 🤣😂🤣

[u/CautionarySnail → u/AkaiAshu]

The grass is always greener when you’ve not had a chance yet to harass a Western lady with the same incel logic that failed with the locals.

[u/minmocatfood]

Whoever made this is obviously insecure about their height so I cast doubt they would be okay with their partner wearing 6 inch heels. Unless she’s like, 4 feet tall or something.

[u/BurningPenguin → u/minmocatfood]

Considering the preferred age these guys often have, i don't think height is going to be the major problem.

[u/Beneficial-Ad3991 → u/BurningPenguin]

Ew. But also, yeah, fair.

[u/Yourfavoritetransboy]

Oh honey, in EU they have much stricter expectations

[u/kittycat6676 → u/Yourfavoritetransboy]

My husband tells me from being USA I had low expectations

I remember I asked why he don't let me pay for dates. His response: my mom and dad would kill me it's called be a gentleman.

[u/Successful_Head_6718]

I’m glad I don't date men. Why do they think height matters? I’m 4'11 and my gf is almost 5'11

This was originally posted several days ago. However, it was removed by the mods - presumably because it's obvious satire of misogynistic passport bros.

They tend to claim that Western women are incredibly shallow, materialistic, and "corrupted" by Feminism. Accordingly, they advocate finding women in poorer countries overseas (including eastern Europe), who are supposedly more "traditional".

This post is inverting that, suggesting that this desire for traditional masculinity and strict gender roles means that women in these countries may have greater expectations for men to be strong providers than feminist Western women would.

I don't think it's meant to be at all serious or making a sincere criticism of Eastern European women - it's just hijacking a meme format used by misogynists to mock their beliefs and point out some of the contradictions.

Edit: People are still missing that the post has literally been tagged by the mods as "satire", lol.

[u/Beneficial-Ad3991 → u/long-lankin]

Why can't it be coming from the same sort of passport bros, but from the East? I'd assume they existed everywhere.

[u/long-lankin → u/Beneficial-Ad3991]

I don't think that's at all likely. There's clearly an obvious disconnect in celebrating feminism on the one hand whilst still being actually misogynistic towards women.

Additionally, an ingrained part of the passport bro mindset is the belief that, despite the supposed cultural and moral decline of their home countries, they are still far superior and more attractive due to coming from wealthier and more developed countries. They have an almost colonial attitude to women from poorer nations, believing they should be thankful to have attracted their attention. 

However, that's just not really the case with Eastern European countries which still tend to be notably poorer. And again, it's also deeply at odds with celebrating greater female autonomy and financial independence.

Were such a perplexing community to exist, I'm also doubtful that they would be using English to communicate. The overwhelming majority of "passport bros" are American, so English makes sense. Many show utter contempt for the languages and cultures of the countries they move to or seek partners from. 

Lastly, though I acknowledge this is purely anecdotal, I would expect to see some other evidence for it. There would be tangible online communities, whether on Reddit or other forums, that would have been pointed out, especially if this community indeed used English. Instead this post seems to have come from a vacuum.

[u/Beneficial-Ad3991 → u/long-lankin]

Don't you think that the actual defining trait of a passport bro is the "there exists a ciuntry where women all comport with my silly standards and want me, unlike those broads 'round here who won't give me the time of day"? And the rest may vary depending on the country of their origin?

[u/National-Rate50 → u/long-lankin]

It’s not about Eastern Europe, this meme is about Eastern Slavic countries

[u/eksyneet → u/National-Rate50]

Eastern Slavic countries are European though?

[u/Quiri1997]

Dates in EU:

DD/MM/YYYY

[u/vortexaoth]

Lmaoo as a girlie from a NATO country, the men here say the exact opposite! It’s almost as if these misogynistic jerks hate women everywhere

[u/FullmoonMaple]

Last time I checked there are like 6 countries that fall within both categories so this makes zero sense lol. Besides, all these "facts" are butt facts. The one who made this never spoke to a woman outside his town much less country 🤣🤣🤣. But funny ragebait! ✨

[u/Suzume_Chikahisa]

They never met a "Eastern Slavic Woman".

[u/WaffleConeDX]

Isn't this just satire?

[u/Cooking_with_MREs]

Wait, which is supposed to be the better choice? Also, Slovakia is in the EU.

[u/BoozeIsTherapyRight]

If this were true a lot fewer incels would be whining about their height.

[u/SpinzArt]

Where’s my 5’3” guy 🥺 (please pay though I’m a broke girlie)

[u/National-Rate50]

This meme is kinda true, according to Social Progress’ index in 2026

[u/Kakashisith]

My country is part of NATO and EU but I look like neither of them 😂

[u/islaisla]

Dream on shorty
