White males who are reasonably well off and in decent health, with either a good job or plenty of money in savings for retirement are considered a prize “catch” by many single women in poorer countries. It does not really matter what you look like, only that you are readily able to care for a wife, perhaps also for her children from a previous marriage, certainly for her parents, and perhaps for some members of an extended family. You are the lucky prize as long as you can afford to be it.

Middle-aged white guys who visit these countries find themselves getting much more attention than they normally receive in their home countries and will find beautiful younger women showing plenty of attraction towards them. The main reason for such attraction is the lure of having a better life with financial security.

This is also where we need to introduce a serious word of caution. Most of the countries that are popular sex tourist destinations are also the places where white guys are most desired. Unfortunately, this means that if a guy is looking for more than just sex, he may run into the many scams that plague guys searching for a good woman to marry or looking for a long-term relationship. This article focuses more on finding a long-term relationship and/or marriage, instead of just the sex trade, although the two somewhat go together if you are a middle age white male looking for the female company of a beautiful younger woman.

If you plan to look for a life-partner, it is best to get away from the popular tourist areas, live for awhile in the country where you find attractive candidates, and get to know the local customs as well as some of the language. It is a mistake to go to a foreign country with the expectation of returning with the perfect soul mate in one week, even if you have months of email correspondence and video chats prior to coming to the country.

Scammers know very well how to play on men’s emotions and teach the women that they represent the evil ways of luring men in so that the men spend lots of money using “translation” services and then pay a fee for an arranged visit to find a bride. Many men have spent a fortune using Internet-based marriage systems or websites and even have gone to visit the countries, only to return home alone, broke, and deeply hurt emotionally. Do yourself a favor and do not fall for the scams.

It is easy to find plenty of potential life partners without using such online scam services. However, you must plan to go visit the countries you fancy and stay there for an extended period to meet a nice woman in person. It is so easy to meet people. To avoid bar girls and street prostitutes, meet the community elders, volunteer to help on community projects, and attend events in the community, at Buddhist temples, and churches. These are good places to socialize and to find a good wife. If you find someone attractive, first ask if they are married. If they are not married, just ask them to show you around the local area. You will have a better time if you go to the areas where there are fewer tourists and there you will get lots of nice attention from the local women.

If you do plan to get married, it is a better idea to live in the country for a few years with your new wife rather than try to bring her back to your home country right away. The culture shock and homesickness is too much for many who get married and soon thereafter relocate. Make trial visits together and go back and forth instead, between her country and your home country, for the best results.

Here are the fifteen countries where middle-aged white guys are very desirable and good bets to find a wife.

15. Cambodia

Cambodia went through nine hells under the Pol Pot regime during the Khmer Rouge. During this time, millions were killed. This genocide sent the country back to the dark ages in terms of development. Because of this devastation, it is still is one of the poorest countries in Asia. Cambodia is rebuilding itself. Cambodian women are genuinely interested in foreigners, especially white males because of the chance to have a better life with them as husbands.

Prostitution is common in Cambodia, especially in the capital of Phnom Penh. Cambodia also has a serious problem with pedophilia and human trafficking, which includes the sale of children.

The age of consent for consensual, non-paid sex in private is 16-years-old. It is common for a Cambodian woman to marry a foreign man that is around twenty years older than they are.

If you met a woman you find attractive first ask if she is married. Learn the phrase in Khmer, the Cambodian language, which is “tae anak riebkear haey ry now.” Then learn how and when to say “I love you” in Khmer, which is “khnhom sralanh anak.” Do not say this phrase casually. It has a deep, serious meaning in Cambodia and is the equivalent of the western marriage proposal when you say this phrase. A “good” Cambodian woman will only be with a man and live with him if he marries her.

In order to slow down the marriages by western men of “child” brides, there are now requirements in Cambodia that a foreign man must follow, to legally marry a Cambodian woman in that country. He must be under 50 years old and have proof of monthly income exceeding US$2,500 per month. Here are the rules for U.S. Citizens. If you are older than this, you can either have a “fake” wedding, which has no legal status, but is acceptable by the people or take your bride to another country such as Thailand, if she agrees, and marry her there.

If you plan to get married in Cambodia, which is very important for your bride, expect to pay for the traditional wedding ceremony and you will be requested to pay a “dowry” to the family as well as make a payment to the local village elders. The amount can range from about US$1,000 for a village woman from a poor family up to US$20,000 for a refined, educated, young woman who speaks English well and comes from a wealthy family This is considered a respectful way to pay back the family for raising your bride and to give back something to the community.

You do not own your wife and this gift payment is not to buy her. You need to treat her with respect and kindness in order to have a happy marriage. You also need to make sure to send a monthly stipend of money to her family (usually US$100 to US$300 per month). If you treat your new wife well, she will be very dedicated to you as this is the traditional way in Cambodia.

14. Vietnam

Vietnam is making a strong comeback from the devastation it experienced during the Vietnam War. In the capital of Saigon, it is very much like Bangkok, Thailand. There is lots of prostitution. Just like in Cambodia, human trafficking is a huge problem.

Chinese men from remote areas pay up to US$3,200 to intermediaries to literally buy a bride and even a “child” bride around 14 years old and have her shipped to the man living in China. The woman or young girl is forced into marriage without ever meeting her husband in person except on the day they get married.

Asia has a history of arranged marriages and Vietnam is no exception. Vietnamese women, especially the poorest ones, go along with an arranged marriage if they think it will improve their lives. If they go along with the marriage voluntarily, the may actually see an improvement their lives and not have to work so hard just to survive. However, some others who live near the border of Vietnam and China are drugged and kidnapped and then sold as brides against their will. It takes years for them to escape and some never do.

One other problem for white males is that some Vietnamese women have figured out how to use the divorce laws in other countries to their advantage. If a Vietnamese woman marries a foreigner in another country and the marriage is not registered in Vietnam, it has no legal effect in Vietnam. If a foreign man pays a big price to get a Vietnamese bride and takes her to another country to get married, she can, after a short time, run back to Vietnam where the marriage has no meaning. She can repeat the process with a man from a different country.

Now that you are warned about the dangers, avoid the online marriage services as they are almost all scams.

The best bet to find a nice young woman to marry is to visit the country for an extended period. Get out of the city and visit the villages with a translator you trust. Go to a university and hire a student as your translator. Make sure the student is not associated with any marriage arranging service.

Be aware that to have a Vietnamese bride, the arrangement is made with her parents who will expect to be paid something. It is also better to have the marriage in Vietnam and you will pay for this also. Vietnamese women are very beautiful, dedicated, and loyal if you treat them kindly, so it is possible to find a very nice Vietnamese wife if you avoid the scams.

13. Indonesia

You will have a very pleasant time if you go to Bali to look for a wife. Bali, Indonesia is one of the nicest places in the world and the cost of living there is really low, which allows staying long enough to find an honest Indonesian woman who you want to marry. Guys from Australia frequently go to Bali to find a wife and many are successful in doing so and very happy.

The Indonesia culture is patriarchal and men are elevated in status over women. There is a marriage procreation guarantee under the Indonesian laws. If a wife cannot birth children he is allowed to easily divorce her or to take a second wife.

The Balinese want their daughters to get married as soon as possible in order to start a family and hopefully to have a son to carry on the family heritage. The Indonesian people are very accepting of large age differences between the bride and her husband as long as his financial condition is sound and he is able to take care of his bride. Unlike a son, a daughter, when she gets married, no longer has the requirement to support her family. She joins the new family of her husband. This is a different sentiment that those found in other Asian countries where the daughter is still obligated to help care for her parents even if she gets married.

The Indonesian people are warm-hearted, friendly, and as a general rule, they like foreigners. To have the best luck in finding a good wife, look for a family that has many daughters and few or no sons. Befriend the parents of the young woman in such a family and they will probably be very happy for you to marry her to have one less daughter that they are responsible for.

Indonesia has a strange rule that two people getting married should be of the same religion. If you are not the same religion as your bride, one of you needs to convert to the other’s religion, at least temporarily. Atheists and agnostics need to pretend to be affiliated with their bride’s religion; otherwise, the government will not issue marriage documents.

12. Taiwan

Many western men, who visit Taiwan for the first time traveling alone, are shocked (hopefully pleasantly so) when beautiful girls knock on the hotel door in the evenings to officially offer their services as a government-licensed massage therapist and prostitute. They even have identification cards, which they happily show to prove this to foreigners.

Taiwan is another male-dominated society and women are, in general, very subservient to men. It is considered perfectly normal under the Taiwanese culture for married men to enjoy prostitutes as long as they take good financial care of their wives and provide enough money for their children.

Men typically go out at night with their other male friends for “business” dinners where the company pays the tab. They enjoy a night of getting drunk and carousing with women and return home with no recrimination from their wives for being out late or coming home drunk.

This subservient nature is not 100% uniform and there are some more modern style Taiwanese women. However, for the most part, the male dominance in this culture is what attracts foreign men to come to Taiwan to look for a bride. If you are not stuck on having only a young woman as a bride and expand your search to include older women, you will find many nice women who are interested in having a foreign man as a husband. You can enjoy dating many of them to help make a good choice.

11. China

China is a country of many contradictions. There is an average of 118 men for every 100 women. This came about because of the “one-child” policy that was enforced by the Chinese government. One very unfortunate and horrible thing about this policy is that it caused parents to kill their female offspring; either as abortions or right after the girl babies were born. Estimates are that up to five million Chinese baby girls were killed during the time that the one-child policy was enforced.

This off-balance ratio of more Chinese men than women makes it difficult for the Chinese men to all find brides. In spite of this, foreign men still have a tremendous advantage. Chinese women see foreign men as a treasure and also appreciate their generous endowment in the private area compared to the size of an average Chinese male. Foreign men will be approached by many young women if they simply visit China.

It may be difficult to get married, once you realize how many beautiful women are available for foreign men. Even five-star hotels sometimes contain a brothel on the premises as part of the services offered to male guests. This is something that shocks foreign males who never before saw such openness about the sex trade. Nevertheless, it is very easy to get used to this and “feel like a king.”

These excellent, readily available sex services from beautiful young women make it more difficult to choose a certain woman to settle down with and marry. However, if you are able to find a Chinese wife of the traditional style, she will not have any problem with your continuing to visit prostitutes for a boy’s night out on the town, even after you are married.

10. Bulgaria

In Bulgaria, it is easier to meet a nice woman that is of marriage quality hanging out in cafes than by going to bars. Bulgarian younger people are very sociable and commonly spend much of their time with friends having a cup of coffee and chatting away in a cafe. Don’t be shy about striking up a conversation. Many Bulgarians speak English.

You can also make friends with the Bulgarian men and tell them you are hoping to find a woman to marry. They will be happy to spread the word around and show you off to their female unmarried friends if you want to buy all of them some drinks.

In the rural villages, you will find women who have a fairly simple life and work hard to keep the house in order. In general, Bulgarian women are physically robust. Many have a garden and raise chickens to provide some additional food for their families. The women will be flattered if you take an interest in them while acting like a gentleman. Tell them, with the help of a Bulgarian guy who speaks English, that you are more interested in dating a woman to find a wife than is just having sex. That really impresses them.

The fun thing about being able to speak about such things openly is that since it is not your native language you are not intimated by saying rather direct things that you might be uncomfortable saying in your own language to a woman back in your home country.

There are many things you will find surprising if you marry a Bulgarian wife. You will have a big wedding with so many relatives you cannot count them and they all become part of your new extended family. Luckily, the costs of such a big wedding is still a bargain in Bulgaria and will set you back around US$5,000 for a major, three-day feast and celebration, which is the cultural requirement after marriage.

Your wife will most likely cook delicious dishes for you to eat and you will get fat unless you turn up the exercise levels at the gym. Go to the gym with your wife because young Bulgarian women like to stay in shape. Bulgarian women have a wonderful mixture of traditional ways, intelligence, unpredictability, loyalty, and physical beauty.

9. Brazil

With a Brazilian wife or girlfriend, life can be a carnival all year long, not only just during the season of the famous national celebration. Brazilian women like white guys and if you want a woman with a stunning darker skin tone that looks as if she has a permanent tan, then a Brazilian woman is a good choice for you.

Brazilian women can be very loyal and loving. They expect their husband to be a gentleman. They will share resources and do not like separations of the finances but prefer to build up the financial security together. Your wife’s family will become your family as well.

Sometimes a mother-in-law will get jealous of your relationship with her daughter, especially if the mother-in-law is divorced or widowed and alone herself. If that is the situation, you will just have to tolerate it because you wife will always be somewhat dedicated to her mother.

Brazilian women love romantic things; however, they reserve the words “I love you” for a serious commitment to love that leads to marriage. Marriage is not necessarily proposed by the man to the woman, it is a mutually decided thing that happens from a discussion between the couple. When they decide together to get married the first thing they do is tell their parents.

If you plan to come back from Brazil to live in your home country if you are American it is easier (less paperwork) to get married in Brazil first. You will also enjoy the big celebration that comes with a Brazilian wedding and be thankful that a simple golden wedding band (no diamonds necessary) is all your wife requires to know that you promise to be her husband exclusively.

8. Russia

Many young Russian women are stunning beauties. Scam alert! Russian marriage agencies are notorious for running scams. In many cases, the supposedly available brides are women trained to extract as much money from unsuspecting lonely men from other countries. Many horror stories abound of men that spent months having what they thought was a sincere relationship while spending lots of money on making the connection with a woman (translation fees and online chat per minute fees) and then spending even more money on a trip to go there, only to find out that the women is not a real one or she refuses to meet, or if she does meet the man, she has little interest in actually getting married.

Throughout this article, we warn to beware of these marriage agency scams. It is amazing to learn how much of this bad stuff is going on. One way to avoid this scam is to use the free or low-cost dating services and strike up conversations to see what happens. If the woman asks for money, before you meet in person, no matter how legitimate her need may seem our best advice is simply to immediately disengage. You are being played for a fool. Anyone interested in having a legitimate relationship is not going to ask for money from a stranger. It is so easy to fake romantic interest and friendship through emails. Don’t fall for this trap.

One interesting way to meet Russian women that are good candidates for marriage and who are not running a scam is to find them in other countries in Europe. Those Russian women have already gone to the trouble to find a way to relocate to another country. Usually, they do this to find better work and are serious about improving their lifestyle. There are social clubs for Russian expats that live and work in other European countries. These are good places to meet Russian women.

Another good way to meet a quality Russian woman, if you are a religious person, is to find them at church. For so many years, Russians experienced religious persecution in Russia and while it was the U.S.S.R. For those Russian women who have strong religious convictions, they are really good candidates for marriage.

7. Ukraine

Many Ukrainian women want to leave their home country because of the strife, turmoil, and the threats of further military action against the Ukraine by Russia. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of visas issued to Ukrainian women, based on marriage to a foreigner, which allowed them to leave their country and move to another country with their new husband. The marriage agency scams are rampant because of this increased demand.

One way to avoid the marriage agencies completely is to make contact with Ukrainian and Russian women by using the Russian equivalent of Facebook, which is called VKontakte. There are plenty of younger women on that system who speak English very well and who are interested in chatting with white men from foreign countries such as the UK, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

If you like kids, you have a tremendous advantage because the marriage agencies usually will not take on a client who is a single woman with kids. For some men, marrying a woman who already has kids is not of interest. However, if you find an attractive woman and she has kids, she will be very happy that you paid her some attention. You are almost certain to be guaranteed that she will not be a scammer if she honestly tells you about her children. There is no way to know if you and the kids will get along as well as your potential bride-to-be, except by paying them a visit and staying in the area where they live for awhile. As always, we recommend living in the country of your prospective bride for some time to learn more and take your time before making a decision to get married.

6. Japan

Over 89% of the marriage visas for those entering the United States from Japan are issued to females. Japanese women like to marry Americans and Americans love Japanese women. They make a terrific wife and they rarely get fat as they get older. They also have a very cute youthful appearance that lasts until middle age. To most Western men’s eyes, a Japanese woman looks ten to twenty years younger than her actual age. She may be 35 and look 18.

The population in Japan is getting older and the younger Japanese men are choosing not to get married because they cannot afford to take care of a wife and family. White guys from other countries who marry a Japanese woman can find a very pleasant lifestyle living in Japan. Japanese women are very sophisticated about international things and easily adapt to living in another country. They are, in general, very intelligent. Many speak English extremely well.

If a Japanese woman marries a foreigner there is still a bit of prejudice against this from the older Japanese people, so it may be easier for her to live with you in your home country to avoid this noticeable bigotry she will experience in Japan. A woman from an elite, wealthy Japanese family would bring shame to her family if she married a foreigner, so look for a working class woman as your best option when dating with the intent to find a Japanese wife.

If you want a beautiful “porcelain-like doll” for a wife, a Japanese woman is a perfect answer. She will be fiercely loyal and at the same time allow you plenty of freedom to do as you want as long as there is enough money for a nice house and to take care of the kids. Lots of G.I. men who were stationed in Okinawa (an island near Tokyo) on the U.S. military base there found wonderful wives when marrying a Japanese woman.

5. Philippines

The Philippines, like Thailand, is a major sex tourist destination. A female prostitute costs only about US$20 for the entire night. There are many clubs in Manila where you can visit, have a drink, and see a bevy of beautiful girls, all with numbers on their lapel. You simply tell the bartender which number girl you like, pay the exit fee for her to go with you and take as many with you as you want.

You cannot necessarily take girls back to your five-star luxury hotel because they frown on tourists bringing prostitutes to their fancy hotel rooms; however, there are plenty of “love hotels” that can be booked for a few hours of play or for an all-night orgy if that is your desire.

When if comes to finding a woman to marry, it is best to get out of Manila. Take an extended tour of the country, visit the surrounding islands, get to know the locals, and you will be swarmed with interest from attractive females. Filipina women are extremely attracted to white guys and the women are very friendly.

Finding a Filipina woman who is young, beautiful, and interested in marriage is not really very difficult. There is no need to use any marriage agencies. The local term for a person from the Philippines is “Pinay.” Just make up your mind to find a beautiful Pinay wife, start chatting with many candidates through the online dating services, and spend enough time in the country getting to know the woman that might be a good choice. Meet her family, have dinner with them in their home, and see what quality of a person she really is before you ask her for her hand in marriage. In this way, you cannot lose.

4. Mexico

Mexico is a great place to look for a wife for white guys from America and Canada. If it is possible to do your work online, you will still be in the same time zones as America when in Mexico. This makes it possible to do remote work for companies in the USA or Canada. To find the really beautiful young women and have a great time in Mexico, go south, as far south as possible. In this way, you will avoid the drug war troubles that are found in the cities near the border between the USA and Mexico.

Go to the little towns and forget the big tourist cities. In Mexico, it helps if you are a religious person, especially a Catholic because over 90% of Mexicans are Christians and the vast majority of the population is Catholic. The good news is that this means the Mexican women really want to get married. When they are in their twenties all they can do is think about getting married and having babies.

One thing to be aware of is that both men and women that eat the typical Mexican diet will gain weight as they get older. For some this is not important; however, if you want your young bride to stay lovely and thin, you will need to do a diet course correction and help her to eat healthier foods. This is because the typical Mexican diet that has lots of rice and beans is very fattening.

Mexican women are very loving and the love extends to include all the members of their family. If you are accepted by the family, you will suddenly find you have dozens of new relatives. Aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews abound in the typical Mexican family, which can have many members. Mexican people always like to work together, never alone, when doing something so always expect to have at least one other person around from the family if you decide to live in Mexico.

There are many expats from America and Canada that live in Mexico and love the very low cost of living that Mexico offers. Retirees who would be starving to death trying to live on a measly $1,000 per month from social security or other retirement payments will find it very easy to live in Mexico in a comfortable style on such a small monthly income. If you want to bring your wife back home to the USA, she will find plenty of Latinos already living there. Mexico City is the city with the largest Spanish-speaking population in the world. The second largest one is Los Angeles.

3. Spain

Spain is a terrific choice for finding a beautiful woman. The Spanish people are very cosmopolitan and the Spanish women are very attractive. Learning to speak the Spanish language is fairly easy, once you get used to using the “thera,” which is a lisp that the Spanish people use when speaking.

Like Mexico, the Spanish people are very religious and that makes the women very interested in getting married. Unlike Mexico, the Spanish women age gracefully. Most of them do not get fat as they get older.

Spanish women, especially those from the Catalan area (around Barcelona), have fiery emotions and get very possessive and jealous of their husbands. Make sure if you marry one, you pay attention only to her. If another beautiful woman passes by when you are with your wife, do not even risk a tiny glance at her. If you do, expect your wife to fly into a rage about what you did when you get home.

The Spanish are a very sociable people. In any major city, there are social events that are designed so that single people of all ages can meet and have fun together. In the rural villages, there are festivals designed for this same purpose and some even bring single women in by buses from other areas to meet the available single men at a social event held by the village community.

A traditional Spanish wedding held in a cathedral with a stunning Spanish bride is a picture perfect event that everyone dreams of having.

2. Romania

Romania has some of the most beautiful women on the planet. Many are extremely well educated and most speak English to some degree. The Romanian economy is in a depressed state. A doctor might only make less than the equivalent of US$1,000 per month. The average worker makes about US$400 per month and works long hours to earn such a paltry amount. Many Romanians left their home country because Romania is part of the EU and they moved to other EU countries in order to find better-paying jobs

Now, because of Brexit, Romanians in the UK are coming back home. The Romanian women that had good jobs in the UK are not happy about this. They come back to Romania only to find low pay and lousy jobs and are really looking for a way out. That’s where you come in. You can be their knight in shiny armor and take them away from the economic misery. Bring them to your home country, give them a nice life, and they will love you for it.

If the woman you are interested in already has spent some time out of her home country working in another one like the UK, she is more accustomed to being away from Romania and will be less likely to get homesick. This is helpful if you take her to your home country as your new wife.

1. Thailand

Besides being the number one sex tourist destination in the world, Thailand is a great place to find a lovely wife. The Thai people have a very laid back attitude about sex. Older men are considered highly desirable by the younger women. A muscle-bound young guy will have less success with the Thai younger women than a middle-aged white guy with a big belly. They will think your beer belly is cute because you look more like the Buddha.

Thailand is almost exclusively a Buddhist country and that makes their general attitudes about life compassionate and tolerant of others. There are three official genders recognized by the Thai constitution, which includes male, female, and transgender. Thailand has the famous “ladyboys” who look more beautiful that biologically born girls, so when visiting Thailand be aware that a pretty girl who catches your eye might have once been a boy.

All white guys get lots of attention from women in Thailand. In fact, you can hardly escape it if you walk through the red light district of Patpong in Bangkok or stroll around Phuket Beach. In Thailand, it is easy for you to be mobbed by gorgeous young women wanting to fulfill your wildest fantasies. Maybe you will want to do your version of the movie Pretty Woman and take one of the cute ones away from the life of prostitution to take care of her. If you have enough money she will readily go along.

If that is not your cup of tea, then go up to Chang Mai and get away from the city life to find a beautiful Thai woman living in the countryside. If you see a woman that you like, simply say hello. That is all it takes to get a relationship started. Take it easy and have fun. Take some time getting to know her, before asking a Thai woman to be your wife. To marry a decent Thai village woman you will have to pay a dowry to her parents of a few thousand U.S. dollars at a minimum. This is customary and expected. Many expats live in Thailand because the living is so easy there when the guy has a beautiful Thai wife to keep him very happy.

Summary

Our best advice is to avoid marriage agencies completely. Visit the countries with plenty of time to get to know the people there and get away from the main tourist areas. Take your time when looking for a wife.

Honorable mention of countries that did not make the list of the top fifteen best places where white guys are very popular with the women goes to Belarus, Estonia, Finland, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, and Slovakia. If you can afford it, go on a world adventure and visit many countries for a minimum of two to three weeks in each country. Stay where you find your dreams come true and the lovely woman that is waiting to meet you.
