I was just thinking that many of the expats I
have met overseas are losers like me. I am not saying every person who lives abroard is a failure, of course, but many seem like they just couldn't make it in the West and have kind of dropped out. Some guys have seemed evasive about why they are living abroard and looked like they were fleeing debt, child support payments, taxes, the law, or looking for sex or drugs. Some expats just seemed kind of like sleazy perverts or scammers or just looked like losers.

I know that most international travelers are law-abiding people, but if you have ever been to a foreign country, have you ever noticed that some expats seem like failures?

I found some interesting articles that you might like about guys with loose morals who traveled abroard:
