I lived abroad for work for almost a decade, and trust me—attitudes toward American men vary wildly. In my experience, the Philippines, Colombia, and Ukraine were the friendliest places.
In the Philippines, women seemed genuinely drawn to humor and openness. In Colombia, confidence and good manners got you far. Ukrainian women admired honesty and responsibility—they can sense arrogance a mile away.
But here’s the truth: it’s not about “loving American men.” It’s about the image of reliability, stability, and care that some Americans project abroad. If you’re respectful, curious about their culture, and not condescending, women anywhere will respond warmly.
The biggest lesson I learned? Forget stereotypes. Be human first, American second.
