$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')he's half Irish (what do you think of that, Madpaddy!---my brother's wife is also Irish) and half Caribbean black. Most unusual. Tall. Slender and feminine and very cute, and she prefers white men. So gentle and sincere and pure of heart in her messages, it overwhelms me.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'E')verybody's got a different take on this issue, but it's the biggest game in town. No kidding, it is right at the top of the list. Well, right up there with food and water and shelter.

$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.

At $200 000 this one comes with a steep price tag, but there may well be certain qualities of obedience that make it worthwhile

Only just seen this blu, and feel a bit miffed. I was genuinely trying to help, and not just talking from personal experience, but from observation of work colleagues and friends as well. I've met a lot of people who fall 'in sex' with a woman when thef first meet because of the excitement of a new relationship. Some make commitments at this stage because of either neediness or because they are looking at life through an over excited libido (we have another more immature and graphic way way of putting it over here).

5 is a pretty random number, but seemed to hold good for me and others I've observed. IMO it usually gets you through the initial everythings new and great stage to where you actually start to realise what the person you are with is like. This is even assuming that the person is being genuine with you!

I have seen years of anguish and sadness caused by mistakes made at the early stage of a relationship.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('blukatzen', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Quinny', 'D')on't make a decision till you spend at least 5 nights sleeping with her. If the sex is getting better then you might be on to a good thing. If its starting to get a bit stale then run a mile.

for the past five weeks i have been chatting with a young Filipina woman living in Mindanao. I'm planning to visit her in May or June, then apply for a K1 fiancee visa after returning to the States, assuming she checks out well.

all this typing has led to an attack of carpal tunnel syndrome/RSD, so for the meantime i'm typing with a pencil held in my moth.

my arms and hands are almost fully recovered, but i'm afraid to type normally.

many thanks to SeaGypsy for steering me toward the Filipina option!!

One of the best dating scenes I've ever enjoyed was in the Bay Area with the Sierra Club. The club organised friday night "Champagne hikes" just for singles every friday.

Aside from "gold-digging" what would motivate a person to pack up and move from familiar culture and family to a foreign land?

What would you think of someone from your own culture who did that?

I know a guy who was an engineer with a major Japanese company - this kind of job is/was the holy grail in Japan. The company sent him to an English class taught by a Canadian girl... They ended up moving to Canada since life would be very difficult for a foreign woman in Japan.

Yeah, lots of tolerance in those traditional, non-industrialized countries.

[The_Virginian]

My advice GREECE.

Young women there love "rich" ( or settled /landed) older men.

The vacation would be good for you as well.

So... any luck here?
