I don't travel much or want to, but girls do

[DoctorOkeydokey]

Hello,

Most women I meet on dates love to travel internationally and have take many trips. Sometimes they like me enough where I didn't need to express an interest or have any experiences with traveling. But I feel it hurts me often.

Their eyes light up when they talk about traveling--it's even an explicit requirement for some. They will ask me about which trips I've taken. I'm missing out on an easy win. The long term solution is to travel and I'm waiting to change my immigration statue. What can I do and say on dates today?

I've been to Mexico and Canada but they are not high status destinations. :-(

Thanks!

I was hanging out with this well-traveled expat the other night and we started talking about travel. He mentioned Vietnam and how beautiful it is, and how I should go there if I have a chance. He mentioned a handful of things about it and how he'd love to do XYZ over there. I said all I knew about it I learned from Anthony Bourdain's show, and he said the same thing. He'd never been, but just based on how he talked about it, it felt like I was talking to someone who'd been there. If he didn't mention that last part, I totally would have thought he'd had some crazy summer there one time.

It's all about how you talk about a place. Unless you actually want to go somewhere, learn a few things about a place and how to talk about it like it's a wonderful experience you've had. That's all you really need.

to note,

U never ever going to win with women on travelling. It's a losing battle. why?

Women has

1)Sponsors (Family, Instagrammers,Boyfriend)

2)Her job (I don't want to go on a rant on how society hires women like how women gets accelerator when they are young and bullshit how shit later is. That's women and that's society. Fucking idiots. And i am not a black n white thinker.

you only go broke if you go "lifestyle blogger/instagram/whatever bullshit" every 3 months. Unless you planning to travel cheap and bullshit with photo angles so it makes you look rich as fuck

but always rmbr, You not a pussy/women. So point 1 is often a minus.

I haven't traveled outside the country much either. Also only Mexico and Canada. At least I have a passport to show for it. Probably due to my behavior, I tend to draw females who have toured/are from Europe, Asia, South America and other faraway destinations. I'm not too keen on traveling abroad simply due to cost and time off(I don't have a steady job) at this time. The girls tend to encourage me to try it though and it doesn't affect how they perceive me. While it isn't something I worry about, I think mastering a foreign language is somewhat a good substitute. I live in SoCal, and Spanish is becoming more and more prevalent in the workforce. I took three years of Spanish in school and have been casually studying and using it whenever I get the chance at work. Latinos are often taken aback when I speak Spanish because I don't look Latino but they are impressed at my efforts. I would speak in one word answers but now I'm starting to be able to speak in limited conversations which is huge. I'm doing the same with Japanese. I took a Japanese language class in college to impress Asian girls who wanted me to speak Japanese. I'm slowly improving on that as well. Probably more impressive than traveling distant lands is mastering a language that doesn't match your racial background. It's all I can do at this time to make myself "worldly" because the culture of working in America somewhat discourages taking "holiday" as my European connections have said.
