Great site. Winston Wu is a good person like my friend Dan Cilley. He is trying to provide valuable information to help others live a better life.

This site is called "Happier Abroad" but has a dark mood with an emphasis on conspiracy theory. I got malware on this site once which crashed my computer and destroyed the data on my hard drive. The site is also riddled with trolls and the owner won't do anything about personal attacks claiming "freedom of speech", although he did kick off a member who was attacking him. People who want to have serious discussions or present quality information soon leave because of the trolls. The owner is passive aggressive and not to be trusted. He also promotes several shady marriage agencies to foreign women. This is a truly horrid site.

Winston Wu is a self professed mentally ill (schizophrenic) middle aged man who is a proponent of using prostitutes for sexual fulfillment. The views on the happier abroad forum range from the misogynistic to the bizarre conspiracy theorist. Very little info is about actually going to other countries and experiencing the culture or people. Most of it is prostitution based sex tourism with discussion mostly led by weird old white expats who are also hardcore misogynists and racists.

This trafficker in "sex tourism" is not for children. Images of women-as-merchandise exactly match those in other human trafficking ("mail order bride") and prostitution sites. Owner "Winston Wu" lives, hosts domains, and lists his business all in the U.S., but his main selling point is anti-American. ***** has a hidden domain registration and solicits sensitive personal data over an unsecured connection. Risks: tracking, spam, credit card fraud, identity theft, disease. Do not provide any financial or personal data.

I am the owner of Happier Abroad. There are no viruses or malware on Happier Abroad. You can check Google Malware Scanner to see that my site is safe. My site does not contain false information either. If any info we have can be shown to be false, I will happily correct or revise it. Most of the negative comments on this page are false, unsubstantiated and obviously due to purely subjective bias. To WOT, I don't understand something. Half the comments on this page are positive. So why is the rating for my site low? That doesn't make sense. It's like you are only counting the negatives and ignoring the positives. Can you address this? Thanks.

The site has very useful information that is absent from mainstream sources. I definitely gained life changing information from the site.

It's a good site for men who want to find women abroad. There are some really knowledgeable posters there. Unfortunately, there are also some real crazies on that site that ruin it for everybody. The good posters there don't last long because of this. They should filter their users better.

Content is frequently misogynist and racist.

Not exactly. Yes there are some racist posts in the forum, which are offensive. But that is protected under free speech, as long as it doesn't get out of hand. On the other hand, it would be a lie to say that all races are the same and that racial differences do not exist other than skin color. Truth is in the middle ground. However, it is NOT true that HappierAbroad is misogynist. A misogynist is a "hater of women in general". That does not apply. We are against feminism, and do not like the bad attitude and spoiled nature of women in America, who are conditioned to hate men, treat men like dirty, reject their own femininity, and try to become masculine and independent. That is revolting and a crime against nature. God created man and women to complement each other, need each other, and be good to each other. America's conditioning of women to hate men is what we are against. And understandably so too. Why should normal men not be against women being conditioned to hate them? Think about it. What we advocate is that women be feminine, sweet and wholesome like they have been for thousands of years, and still are in most foreign countries. So we advocate dating FOREIGN women. Liking women of one culture over another is NOT "misogyny". It is merely preference of one culture over another. We do not like how feminism has corrupted women and made them unfeminine. Normal men do not like masculine women. Ask any man and they will tell you that that's true. Thus, calling us "misogynist" is technically FALSE and inaccurate. Just because we don't like masculine mean-spirited women with a bad attitude doesn't make us misogynists, or haters of women. It merely means we prefer traditional feminine women, which is far more natural and normal. And we reject the toxic values of feminism and American culture. America is an aberration, going against thousands of years of ancient wisdom. It is America that is wrong, not us. And we can prove it. All the stats say that feminism has made women unhappy. Why do you think that is? Think about it.
As much as Happier Abroad is a seedy and rather misogynist dating service, it contains good articles comparing life in the United States against other countries. Read them and then get out.

Check out the Ripoff Report for this site before proceeding. *****

Um excuse me, but that page on RipoffReport was created during a feud I had with an old friend long ago. But we resolved our differences and are friends now. If you look at the comments on that page, you will see that all that was documented. So why are you trying to use it against us? The page was created as a smear page long ago. It does not contain any info proving that we are a scam or ripoff. I do not ask for money on my site. I do sell ebooks but at a very cheap price. There is no scam or deception on my site. If there is, point it out, or else you are a liar.
While there is nothing inherently wrong with dating people in foreign countries, many forum members often express their prejudices against women from First World countries based on a few bad experiences. They also discuss hiring prostitutes.

Not a few bad experiences. MANY bad experiences. I have had thousands of bad experiences in America. I'm not going to lie about that. A spade is a spade. And so have many others. Come to the Happier Abroad forum and see. Read our testimonials too.
Malicious site with hateful content. Links also tried to scan my computer.
