{{ | == Cross-cultural evidence == | ||
There is a substantial historical evidence of such "romance tourism" women visiting places such as Indonesia,<ref>Kelsky 1994</ref>, Greece,<ref>Zinovieff 1991</ref> Jerusalem,<ref>Bowman 1989</ref><ref>Cohen 1971</ref> Jamaica,<ref>Puitt and LaFont 1995</ref> Ecuador,<ref>Meisch 1995</ref>, Barbados,<ref>Karch and Dann 1981</ref><ref>Pritchard Wright 1989</ref><ref>Layne 1969</ref> Hawaii.<ref>Kelsky 1994</ref> | |||
The partners these women engaged with were rather [[hybristophilia|thug]] Chads than prestigious Chads, generally occupying relatively low socioeconomic status and having little finacial security, but yet sociable, confident, physically agile and high status within their trade, e.g. as tour guide.<ref name="gorry1999">Gorry, A. M. (1999). Leaving home for romance: Tourist women's adventures abroad.</ref> | |||
Not rarely, these roaming women themselves provided their partners with financial resources,<ref>Amber 1997; Pruitt 1993; Pritchard Wright 1989</ref> to the degree that locals exploited such behavior by specializing on feigning romantic interest.<ref name="gorry1999"></ref> | |||
Stereotypes about such women can be found in Caribbean literature:<ref>Cumber Dance 1993:21</ref> | |||
{{quote|The most persistent, stereotypical, and restricted image [in Caribbean literature] is that of the white woman, who is viewed as an eager, lustful, sex-starved nymphomaniac, one whose goal in life is to be desired, seduces, '''and violated''' by a black or Indian Buck."}} | |||
And a Barbadian male wrote about his endeavours seeking to obtain romantic opportunities with such Western travelers:<ref>Layne 1969:48-49</ref> | |||
{{quote|I was a Barbadian, a man of the tropics, wild, untamed, supple, POTENT—what every northern woman wishes for.}} | |||
