As someone that likes travelling but hasn't done it that much and want to do it with a girlfriend in the future, I am put off when I talk to girls about potentially doing this and they already visited so many places already. Some straight up just solo travelled to over 10 countries. To me its something I'd happily "save myself" to experience with a partner for the first time. I think it would be super fun to do together. If she's already like "omg I already went there tho" to every suggestion I make its a major turn off and makes me wanna stop talking to her altogether.

It's a topic I can't relate to unless I've also been there, so bringing it up is mostly just talking at me and expecting me to be impressed.
Traveling is also really expensive. Flights, hotel rooms, constantly eating out, constantly paying for local travel. If you travel a lot and make it a core part of your personality, then I think you're gonna be an expensive woman.

I dislike flying, so I would prefer not to have a gf who forces me to do that with her.
Plus, I've seen an instance of an impoverished woman who somehow has pics of her around the world. Yet all of her Instagram photos show her alone almost by design. It's easy to tell what's going on.

Men want to be the more experienced partner in the relationship. They want to be admired and respected. A well-traveled woman is just like a woman with a very high powered career. Unless you are a turbo giga chad you can't bring anything to the relationship that she doesn't have or hasn't had in the past. In that case what is the point? She will never respect you as a man. Now that might sound pathetic but it's just true. You can't show her anything you, you can't take her somewhere she's never been and couldn't go on her own, and she's likely much more experienced in sex/relationships than you are.
This is why looksmaxxing exist these days. Looks are becoming the most important thing for men in the dating world. It's not just the superficiality of dating apps. It's also that women are now financially independent, and able to safely experience the world through travel etc. So what can a man add to a woman's life except for companionship and sex? And in that case looks are the most important thing. Followed by personality. A lot of guys out there don't really have either, so dating is getting more and more difficult every day.

It's just honesty. Women feel the same way too.
They don't want a man who is less experienced than them, makes less money than them, has less of a social life than them. They want a man who is their superior or at least equal in these areas. But it's getting harder and harder for men to keep up. The average guy is falling behind the average woman in all of these areas because society does not value average guys. We could go into all of the reasons why but then it would get overly political for this thread.
It's pathetic but it's true. And it has real consequences for all of us and the young people of today will be the most hurt.

Which is why you need to be very good looking and very charismatic to stand a chance. That's why looksmaxxing exists and is getting more and more traction. Money used to be the way to be attractive as a man, but that's changing fast.

Alright, well don't be that guy then.
>The average guy is falling behind the average woman in all of these areas because society does not value average guys.
The women who are jet-setting all over the world while also being extremely beautiful and wealthy are not "average women". You are talking about well above average women while very likely being a below average man yourself. As is often the case on this board, which is why I always laugh when you guys want to play the "hypergamy" card.
It's not hard to take some time off, get together with some of your boys (or go yourself) and travel a bit. I'm not even talking about flying around the world, just see some new things in your own country or your own state.
But again, we've got guys on this board (not necessarily saying you specifically, but if the shoe fits) who have never left their own towns, or even their own basements if they don't absolutely have to, talking about not being able to keep up with "average" women. That is not average.
And since you brought up looks and personality, yes there are guys who have both. That's above average, your chads. There are good looking guys with no personality, and average or ugly looking guys who do have personality who women will think are cool or fun to talk to and hang out with. Both of these are average. They'll get by, even if not as easily or with women as hot as the chads.
If you have bad/average looks AND a bad personality you're below average and need to be realistic. And if that's you you're supposed to do something about it instead of just coping impotently about it. No need to get political, you can blame society for a lot of things (and I do) but this kind of stuff is up to you.

Well we both know this isn't about me or you specifically but I might as well say that I have traveled quite a bit. Definitely more than most people.
>It's not hard to take some time off, get together with some of your boys (or go yourself) and travel a bit.
I'd push back on this a little. This can be a lot more difficult for people than you think. I have some friends, but none of them have any interest or the financial freedom to go anywhere at all. And I don't think that is uncommon these days.
Also, I didn't mean to say every average guy is incapable of making money or traveling, just that overall men are falling behind and gap between men and women is increasing over time.
I'm also not arguing that women shouldn't travel or make money. Or that men SHOULD be turned off by women traveling. I'm just explaining what is behind this feeling. So there is no point in arguing with me about people's feelings. People are they way they are and there's nothing you or I can do about it. The reason alot of people have brought up, (women who travel are sluts), I don't believe. I believe that's just a front for the intimidation men feel about a woman who is more experienced than them. Whether or not these men could improve themselves and become more experienced is not relevant, we are just talking about why they don't like well-traveled women.

That being said, I did have a very serious relationship with a women who had traveled a lot and lived in a lot of different places. I wouldn't want to date another woman like that. She clearly had picked up a lot of baggage from all of these different experiences and it hurt our relationship. But that isn't to say every well-traveled woman would be like that.

Yeah I would agree with that actually. In fact when I first opened the thread I said to myself "watch some incel say because they fuck dudes in every country they visit" and lo and behold, it was the very first post kek.
>Whether or not these men could improve themselves and become more experienced is not relevant,
This I don't agree with. To me that's always relevant, especially because, as you said yourself, their own station in life affects their perception of women and people in general.

Yeah that's fair and true, which is all I can ask from anyone I debate with.

I get put off by it in general. I think its because people do it as a status symbol not because they actually give a fuck about travelling. notice how they only visit these places once and then forget about them. it feels like a superficial hobby.

The girls with profiles like the one in Picrel are usually on the younger side. Like >25. If you've travelled to fifteen different countries at 21 it means you either come from a rich family and may be kind of spoiled, have had multiple sugar daddies, or have next level credit card debt. These types of women do not have a high paying job, because if they did, they simply wouldn't have the time to do all of that traveling. I think that's why at 35+ it becomes less of a turn off too

Anecdotal, but back in my mid-20s, I casually dated this girl who was always traveling to EDM festivals with her friends.
Her whole philosophy was, "I'll only be young once, might as well enjoy it." I thought it was stupid, but hey, it wasn't my money. She had a great body and loved showing it off in tiny outfits at those shows, but I later found out she was also routinely hooking up with guys she met there afterward.
Fast forward to now, and she's still driving a beat-up 2003 Lexus with a broken radio and shares a room with another girl.
Long story short, everyone likes different things, but that kind of lifestyle just seems empty and exhausting to me.

because most of time it is simply done for indulgence: especially , when she's bragging about it on Instagram, you know this is for show and status
you can't sensibly have a relationship with somebody like that; because they'll prioritize their own enjoyment over any other concern (including your own well-being)

What I assume is that she is very high maintenance/desires constant luxury & excitement.
>>34601884
I don't normally assume this, but it's a double negative if this is what she is doing abroad, for sure.
