$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Heineken', 'S')o here I am single again, and 53. I'm in very good physical shape, however, and look ten years younger than my age.
I have money, and there are millions of attractive but desperately poor women the world 'round.
Meeting and coping with American women can be extremely difficult. They tend to have unreasonable or unfair expectations and demands. They tend to hold my age against me and my difficult history.
Sometimes I think, why don't I just fly to one of those "developing" countries, hang out, and meet and carefully court an innocent, gentle, HIV-free native, marry her and bring her back to the farm. Say a $10,000 operation.
Crazy? Maybe.
What would be the best countries? Any race is fine. Obviously the things to avoid are golddiggers, getting murdered or ripped off, etc. Potentially hazardous.
There are nice girs everywhere. Often the grass however seems greener on the other side and ethnic differences can actually help to make it more interesting.
Just don't count on the bride not being a gold digger. Many of them are very skilled. Especially if you get a young pretty one your head will be spinning so much you don't know what happend when she suddenly demands half of everything.
So to avoid focusing on potential downsides, can I suggest
1) pre-nup and
2) put what ever you can in a trust with you as trustee. (personal trustee ship is probably better than company in this case as company shares can be fought for.)
Regarding going to a a country looking for your bride....expect to spend a fair bit of time. First you need to find the right one, then you need to get to know each other, then date, then get family acceptance....
Anything fast tracking that process means they are a bit "easy" which makes their motives somewhat questionable.
Also, don't have illusions. Many of them can be loving but the priority for them is a better life for themselves and their families. Love can grow out of that but keep your head straight so that you don't get disappointed.
