I am planning a world travel trip and have been doing a lot of research. Recently I came across a topic about men traveling alone. Many solo travelers acknowledge the fact that there are a lot more solo woman traveler than men. It's interesting because it is obvious that woman are more prone to danger than men on foreign countries. I also thought that men are more adventurous than woman? Anyone here travel a lot? Id like to know what's your opinion on it.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Woman traveling alone VS men

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I do travel alone a lot (11 countries and counting). I'm surprised to hear that. Very surprised, since I've seen entire blogs devoted to ranting about how travel agents, hotels, cruise line, etc. are often flabbergasted by lone female travelers.
Yes, I've seen countless females staying at backpacker accomidations (usually german females
), but the females are never solo. Never. Without guys, yes, but never alone.Where did you read about this?

American women are the ones who are wary about traveling alone.
Here are a couple of places am reading about it.Phyzzle said:I do travel alone a lot (11 countries and counting). I'm surprised to hear that.

I would say women don't travel alone for a few reasons; one of those reasons being because they're insecure. For example, in their mind, they're afraid people might think they're a loser with no friends(which of course isn't true at all). Women care way to much what people think and are way too paranoid what people might be thinking about them. Women are followers not leaders. And the second reason I'd say is because of the dangers like Analytic said.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I travel alone whenever I have the loot.
I doubt that more women are doing this than men, though. Highly doubt that.

LOL so true. I've almost never seen a woman even go to the bar alone. They might go to the grocery store or 7-11 alone, but that's about it.edger said:
I believe there are more single women traveling than singlemen, but I don't believe they're traveling alone (without a friend or female friend for example)
