They can if that person is also a Somali who just happens to be an American naturalized citizen. That's where this phenomena comes from. It isn't just marrying whites, its actually marrying anyone from America thinking they're loaded. This happens a lot more than you know, and I know 1st hand since my own brother whose disabled randomly had a woman from Libya express interest in him, until she found out my brother isn't as rich as she assumed then cancelled it off.

I dont understand why everyone is treating Lunella as racist when as someone himself whose parents are immigrants it is a fact amongst almost every immigrant I know, be they Pakistani, Algerian, Turk, Somali etc. that many people in the 3rd world are desperate gold diggers when it comes to the West and that they assume if someone is from America that they're financially loaded and that marrying them is a ticket to a better life. Heck, in my own family several of my own aunts and cousins later on admitted to marrying white men so they can come to America and get their green card, and they didnt give a damn about the man they married. If I had a dollar for every single American, including and especially including American of immigrant background like my family members, who complained about being hoodwinked by a girl they thought liked them from overseas who turned out to just wanted a green card, I would be rich. The phenomena of being wary of marrying people outside of America or falling in love with them isn't even racist or necessarily recent against brown immigrants: in Arthur Miller's famous play "A View From the Bridge" the plot of that story centers around the main character Eddie Carbone not wanting his niece to marry an Italian immigrant fearing that he was a "submarine", i.e. someone who comes to America and marries one of the white woman to get their green card.

It's a real phenomena and if you people only knew what people around the world actually thought of America as you'd understand where this fear comes from. My sister has traveled across practically the entire Middle East and parts of Asia and she, as corroborated by many other immigrants I know, said that in many poorer countries the people view Americans as being loaded with cash. Even I myself whenever I go overseas to visit my home country of Palestine as someone as the locals detect Im from America by my accent I get accosted and haggled for money.

I actually second that

In this case, Muse said he was hardly getting any matches on Tinder in America (or in whatever country he is from) and, suddenly, he gets a lot of attention ...... I don't think that filipinas are any different from western girls regarding sexual attraction or beauty standards.

I would advise him to be careful

The issue I have is that it sounded to me like she was implying that all women there who were willing to marry a guy in another country & relocate were like that. I'm sorry if I misunderstood Lunella if that is not what she meant. I'm very used to others misunderstanding me & putting words in my mouth so I shoulda gave her the benefit of the doubt. I'm sorry Lunella. I'm upset by some stuff & I haven't got enough sleep the last couple days. I should probably stay out of heated discussions for a couple days/nights after I post this.

Getting back on topic, I am sure there are more than a few women there & in other countries who are really only wanting a green card & money. However I do not think that all women there who are willing to marry a guy in another country are expecting the guy to take care of them them & do all the work 1ce they get here. I've heard from some guys who married women from there & from other countries & some of those guys found their wives to be very attentive & eager to please them even after being married more than a few years. It is quite possible that some of those women really are faking it because of the way they were brought up & being afraid of going back to that kinda life if the guy gets upset with them but even if they are faking it, I personally would much rather have that kinda fake relationship than being single. If that kinda relationship works for both of them weather they legitimately love each other or not, I just do not see what the problem is as long as they are both happy with the arrangement.

The thing is that this is always being repeated by some whenever one mentions Asian women here.

So it does seem to be like a racial based stereotype.

Those people are for sure racist.

However, the idea of Americans of all races and even immigrant backgrounds being wary of meeting partners overseas from poor countries is a lot more universal than you realize. A famous American playwright by the name of Arthur Miller made such a phenomena the centerpoint of his play "A View From the Bridge" and made it where the main character Eddie Carbone was afraid of niece Beatrice from marrying an Italian immigrant because of the fear he's only marrying her for the Green Card. And mind you these are Italians this play was referring to. Italian men to be specific.

In my own family my brother with disabilities had a random girl from Libya message him on a Muslim dating app. Everyone in our family had a strong hunch that this was a scam and that she was only interested in his money and him being a Palestinian American. My brother never listened. When said Libyan woman found out my brother isn't rich somehow she disappeared.

Not to mention even in my own family I have aunts and cousins on record who admitted to marrying their husbands just to get the Green card and live here in America.

Desiring to marry a rich man is not exclusive for migrants though. Your aunts and cousins happen to be gold diggers, sorry to say it.

Gold digging is a cross-borders universal things, and it takes many shapes.

Dating apps are full of scams to begin with.

Offense not taken. I myself despise my aunts and cousins who married decent and hardworking American men, some white most Arab Americans, just for financial gain and to get their green card. It makes me ashamed of their lack of scruples and it horrifies me a great deal.

What if I told you that my family comes from a poor country and almost everything Lunella said can be corroborated??

The question is, how do I know who is real and who is fake? [...]
