been "watching" this show lately with the wifey. I have to believe that lot's of it is staged. Lots of men are absolutely pussywhipped (Colt and Larissa for example) and lots of women are so stupid it hurts (Nicole and Azan for example). Also some guys have absolute 0 knowledge of game and it is cringeworthy, but again... i suspect lots of it is staged.

Has anyone seen the "...The Other Way" season of this? I've been watching this with my wife and it's a real hoot.

Corey has to be the biggest pussy out there, it's unbelievable how full of soy this guy is. His GF Evelin is 100% cheating on him behind his back. The other South American bound guy, Paul, is basically an omega male who somehow managed to knock up a butterfaced native chick from Brazil. Almost every moment of watching these two guys causes extreme cringing.

On the other hand, I like some of the couples - Jihoon and Deavan are fun to watch, and Jihoon is the sort of attractive, charming loser who could conceivably hold on to a hot chick... for a little while, at least. Ronald and Tiffany have a decent relationship too, and if she'd just lose some weight she'd look quite good. The less said about the old white chicks with foreign boyfriends, though, the better.
 
I still like the shows, but the sugar coated depth of the show has worn thin over the years. I'm in the K1 process now myself and really wish the show had a little depth to it and gave some data (wait times, maybe an interview with a consulate worker, ect). It's a guilty pleasure since I can tell the drama never focuses on the logistics of the relationship but always manufactured situations or the weakness of some poor sap getting bilked for his money.

That said, its a guilty pleasure and some of the trainwrecks are hilarous.

I root for the dude. He's level headed and his girl is cute. She's got gold digger tendencies from the parts I've seen.

New season coming and looks like the producers still found way to keep the formula fresh. There's the typical mismatched couples with a unkempt American dating someone outside of their league from some second or third world country but there's also:

- a hippie new age guy who's into Tarot cards and mediation
- a fat weeb white girl trying to get with an Asian guy. The preview video I posted below has a clip of her wearing a cosplay wig while taking to him over the phone
- A woman who has some sort of degenerative disease that has crippled her body

CONSOOMER has problem with his WIFE | 90 Day Fiancé


The sad thing is I actually worked with some people like the first man. Some were fat (and were not making any efforts to improve themselves) and wanted a much younger and prettier wife from Thailand and they also had little interest learning about Thai culture. You need to make efforts to learn the culture where the woman is from. Men like the first man are asking to be divorce raped.

It is fine to marry abroad but you need to be reasonable and also improve yourself before worrying about marriage to anybody.

RE: New TLC show - 90 Day Fiance



These girls don't know how boring these towns are. The Colombiana is going to have to stay with the guy and his parents. She is upset yet she know he still lived at home. I can already tell she's going to a wild one. He should of never brought her here.

Who do we all think has the best chance to make it happen?
Your post was very prophetic, 7 years later she could not be happy living in Oklahoma with his good job living with or near his parents. She basically convinced him to move to Miami where there is no paternal support and he took on a lesser job just to make his wife happy living in Miami. She's living her dream of being a 30 something model in Miami and are probably barely making it because her beta husband never had the balls to tell her no.

She wasn't really that traditional to begin with so this isn't a big transformation. She was always more the attention whore look how hot I am type of Latina - not the motherly family-oriented type. I noticed her and her husband never discussed starting a family and 7 years later, they still don't have kids. I'm actually surprised they are still together.

I looked her up because the contrasting photos made me curious. They have a kid now but it seems they are getting a divorce. It is sad when attractive women get tattoos and dumb hair colors. At least her tattoo is not offensive; I still dislike them though.

Watching the first episode. The whole time I was watching the 50 something year old guy trying to get with the woman from Panama. I couldn't help being surprised that the guy is into females.

The Russian little person has a flamboyantly gay roommate - colored hair and practically is a walking limp wrist. I wonder how he gets along in Russia.

It's interesting to see inter-racial dynamics on this show. The American men end up going for Latinas, Asians (Filipinas mostly) and Eastern Europe. The American women end up with black men whether it be from the Caribbean or Africa or from Muslim countries - the latter is a bit surprising for me.

Another dynamic I noticed on this show for this season and previous seasons is that the foreign guys are way more less willing to suck it up and have sex with a busted woman while the women will go ahead and have sex with a guy that's clearly below their level. On this season the Nigerian guy (who is apparently some sort of famous rapper/pop star in his home country) is doing everything he can to avoid being intimate with the fat American 50 year old woman while the Panamanian girl keeps talking about how excited she is to get intimate with him. There was a American guy/Brazilian woman couple that was mentioned previously in this thread (Colt and Larissa) where the guy was clearly a soy blob but the two had clearly had been having a lot of sex since Larissa did mention he had a high sex drive and she was a bit peeved about it.

Anyways so you guys can have a visual of what I'm talking about:

White American guy with the Panamanian girl who keeps talking about jumping his bones


Fat middle waged American guy with the Nigerian rapper who refuses to have sex with her

I don't plan to watch the show but the clip is interesting to watch and I read the profiles.

1) The Arab man and the lady seem like a fair match looks and age wise. The woman is chunky, but I think Middle Eastern men like their women 'thick', if she got a bit fitter she would look good. Just read the woman is a divorced single mother of 2, this knocks her down a peg. Also, if she is chunky at 34, she will not likely improve.

2) The Asian man and the land whale...what is he thinking?! He is from a nation where most women take care of themselves and are slim. T. Maybe I am being shallow but even if she had a perfect personality, I couldn't be attracted to her. I know a white woman willing to date Chinese men can do well though, I guess it is the 'exotic affect' that also works for foreign men there. Even so, this is very extreme.

3) The Colombian woman is trying to hard and it is suspicious. I dislike the huge tattoo as well, it is a pity because she is pretty otherwise. He needs to live there to see if she is sincere.

4) The Russian woman and American man could be a good match. They met when young and have similar ages which helps. Not every man would want such a height difference though. Her best friend is a man which is a concern.

5) The Nigerian man and ugly American woman, NO WAY. Even if I were 75, I would not be interested. What is this man thinking? She doesn't even seem to have a feminine personality to make up for her age and bad looks. He must hunting for a visa.

6) Peru woman-too much younger and too hot for the much older man. This is suspicious and too good to be true. He is not realistic and let her beauty blind him.

7) The American man showed himself as a loser for sending naked photos of the lady to an ex. Why would people be such idiots?

This show has a lot of mismatched couples (just going by profiles and looks). Maybe that is intentional to create more interest.

Remember, it's a show. I don't think I ever saw or weighed in on this thread originally - ha, the first few posts and pages were quite amusing.

Does anyone know what actually happens to these people/what becomes of their "relationship"?

Like @Brother Abdul Majeed , I see that for ratings the show makes it seem like down syndrome guys are landing women a bit better to a lot better, for the same cultural effect as in normie-ville: "Hey look, these guys are taking advantage of these women!" :rolleyes:

That woman's father is in jail and her mother is a former crack addict that he's trying to build a relationships with as an adult after being neglected by her as a child. In one of their conversation in the first episode she talks about how she's likely seeking a man because she craves the stability that she never had when she was growing up and she wants to create that ideal family.
