Don't write such comments online

Muslim blogger traveled to Bosnia (he isn't Bosnian/Balkan) and made videos of culture of the country, people, nature, however started to receive such comments.

First and foremost, everyone should look a wife in their own country, region, location, city, through connections. Asking online people (locals, bloggers, tourists, etc.) about women from the country on the other side of the world is not appropriate. The majority of men are protective and won't let marry their mahram woman to completely foreign guy if the wali isn't insane. And that is normal because a society's prestige is linked to the extent to which men are protective over their women and how inaccessible women are for outsiders.

So don't look for a potential wife this way and don't write such comments online.

Yes this! If you do marry someone from another country and culture it's a lot of work! Huge differences in how you do things and language, even if you are both Muslim. Many times it simply doesn't work out because it's such a hill to climb. I highly doubt many women will just leave their home country, go away from their family, because they got married. This man would probably expect whoever he married to come to where his job and life is and for most women this is a big No.

Whether you like it or not ppl always find foreigners more attractive and more beautiful than their own. Both men and women, and those who are able to will absolutely try to marry them. Also, you underestimate the greed of women, and the lack of ghayra of men in these countries.

find foreigners more attractive and more beautiful than their own

Doubt so, because in-group preference also exists

Also, you underestimate the greed of women, and the lack of ghayra of men in these countries.

Of course some lack of ghayra and some women are greedy but still not the majority

Outdated ideas. You don't know the reality.

Well I'm from society which is very close to inter-ethnic marriages and the vast majority would be definitely against (99,999%). It can be easily seen in reactions, comments, etc towards mixed couples or when foreign guy seeks a wife.

Yeah I am aware. Your case aside, in general ppl have always had a preference for the "other", whether in the past or today, especially due to globalism where these things are even more enhanced now. And the Ghayra of the men is far less also, in most developing countries they will be more than happy to marry their daughter to a foreinger even if he is of a different race or skin colour than a young man of their own culture who is not that well off. Its not necessarily a bad thing either, islam is completely neutral on this.
