About this episode

Why does a man with an accent suddenly sound more romantic? Why do movies and television often portray international men as mysterious, sophisticated, passionate, and irresistible? Is it the accent, the culture, the way they approach romance, or have we simply been taught to fall in love with the fantasy?And here's where the conversation gets even more interesting. I recently came across a man who said he needed an international woman. So, if women can romanticize international men, why do some American men specifically seek international women? Is it about culture, traditional relationship expectations, femininity, or simply believing they may find something different outside of the United States?We're looking at both sides of the conversation and separating the fantasy from the reality on this episode of The Fishbowl with Jade. 🐠
