Invisible Beta Male Moves from Austin, TX to Thailand, Gets Cheaper Life & Thai Pussie

[SW15]

Priced out of Austin, he bought a one-way ticket out of the US. Now, he lives on a Thai island for a fraction of the cost.

Despite having a degree in computer science, he struggled to get a job and ended up moving to an island in Thailand.

TLDR - Story takeaways

1. A bachelor's degree (even a STEM one) doesn't guarantee good employment. Even a decent paying STEM job won't automatically result in pussie in a big USA city.
2. Bigger USA cities are expensive (even moderately priced Austin, TX). It takes a lot of money to live a decent lifestyle. Moving overseas can reduce costs and increase sexual visibility. Just Be White (JBW) might be at play in this Southeast Asia expat story.

The subject of this story is a guy who looks like a typical beta male. He is a Millennial. He looked like a stereotypical Austin, TX guy.

He is a mid-tier looking guy with glasses, an unimpressive haircut, and lacks big muscles. He would probably rate in the 5-6.5 range on looks alone.

He received a Computer Science bachelor's degree but could not secure employment with his bachelor's degree during the 2010s. He was delivering food on his bicycle in Austin, TX in the late 2010s and doing some other odd gig work. He was living in a place with 3 roommates near Downtown Austin. It was likely an older house.

Based on his looks, lack of money, and lack of status, he was likely sexually invisible in Austin.

He moved to Austin primarily to live a more inexpensive lifestyle, though it is likely that a lack of LMS in the USA was also a contributing factor to why he moved to Thailand.

In Thailand, it appears that he has been more sexually successful. He met a local Thai woman and has a fiancé now. It is likely he would have accomplished that in Austin, TX living with 3 roommates and working in the gig economy.

Do you think it is a better strategy for ordinary men in the USA to expat to cheaper areas for a better lifestyle and greater sexual visibility?

I see guys like him/uglier than him with women all of the time. I can see certain women finding him within their type, so I disagree with your rating on him. My two cents is that this guy was giving out bitter energy to women which made him unattractive, and he was sick of living in the US which I can completely understand. For Thai women, no telling if he is paying for that relationship, so meh. I have been to southeast Asia plenty of times and my good friend is one with a channel. More than likely, the relationship is transactional.

That guy is a basic loser in my eyes. He lacks drive, ambition, and work ethic. He has no edge. Can't handle stress. Wishes everything was easier, instead of him getting better. I don't buy his story about not being able to find a computer science related job. So given that, I suspect he took his best option.

Exactly, women do not like unambitious bitter men with a defeatist mentality. That's the quickest way to dry up her cooch.

It's possible. I don't see him as being attractive to a large number of women.

Seems accurate. The article focused more about how he was dissatisfied with the money/employment aspect of his life than the sexual aspect of his life.

Money/income is a part of attracting women.

He also might have been shooting too high in the United States. He does give off the energy of a guy who lived in scarcity mentality when he was in the USA.

For Thai women, no telling if he is paying for that relationship, so meh. I have been to southeast Asia plenty of times and my good friend is one with a channel. More than likely, the relationship is transactional.

This could be a situation where the relationship has a transactional element to it.

I don't buy his story about not being able to find a computer science related job. So given that, I suspect he took his best option.

It would be interesting to know more about what happened with using his bachelor's degree in CS. He clearly wasn't working a CS job in the USA before expatting.

That guy is a basic loser in my eyes. He lacks drive, ambition, and work ethic. He has no edge. Can't handle stress. Wishes everything was easier, instead of him getting better.

That's common behavior in the Millennial generation in the USA. He does embody some of the negative traits that Millennials get associated with in the popular culture.

I knew a guy 7ish years ago. Not a good looking guy. Had a Thai wife. Was planning on moving there at retirement. Said he could live like a king on 50k annually.

Told me that his wife was traditional and would run that house and treated him like the head of the house, but be warned she was a ball breaker and that they all were. So you get the traditional wife, but at what expense.

People forget that back in he day behind closed doors, women broke their husbands balls nonstop about because the women were cooped up and their husband were out earning and socializing and their wives were very compartmentalized. Be careful what you wish for.

I have learned that men generally aren't good at figuring out what other women find attractive and vice versa. I have seen plenty of guys like this pull regularly with women and have success. I do agree that he is not that attractive, but I do acknowledge that women find him attractive and that is all that matters.
