I mean id say going to places where women are heavily pressured into getting a husband and then isolating them from family/friends and essentially making them a maid with benefits is pretty close to forcing. At the absolute minimum its explotative.I mean clearly there are economic advantages that mean a guy from Australia can go to the Phillipines to "get a wife". Whether you'd call this "forcing" the woman into it, I don't think you can. Perhaps they might get pressure from their family to do so, I don't know.
My uncle did this in the late 80s (still married), I do know he has to send money back there every year. Don't know how much but he apparently built them a massive house for under 10 grand one year.
To be clear, I'm not saying women should * blokes to keep them happy. I am saying that blokes who have a loving partner are probably less likely to be out in the street king hitting blokes, assaulting women, the ordinary s**t that directionless blokes get up to.
Having seen a number of these partnerships youre referring to, none of them looks very loving to me. Its a deal born out of convenience for one party and necessity for the other. Id say rather than yet again being reliant on a woman to keep a man in check we should probably be encouraging said men to work on themselves, deal with their emotions, get some therapy, join a gym etc.
