As for me, I'm in my 50s, African American and I am Prior military and have been overseas during and after leaving the armed forces. I'm currently near the end of my marriage and no children and I have none from other relationships. With the right woman, I would love to be a father, but not here. Regarding my age, I'm a young man and I lift weights and box almost everyday. With the right woman, I know I will live past 100. If you think young and live young, you will be young, at least mentally.
When I say I have been to hell and back regarding American women, I mean it. Man.... I will never, ever date or attempt to date another American women ever again. As a result I have stopped complaining and am simply exploring my options and packing. I don't have to worry about playing these PUA games and navigating the other obstacales that are requisite to even "breaking the ice" when it comes to initiating American women. I put them out of my mind. In fact, I have in essence begun a mental migration overseas to wherever that place may be. It may be Brazil, the DR, PI, who knows...? Right now, I have about 5 more years before I'm eligible to retire and get a pension, then I'm OUT.
I have work colleagues and even a couple of family members who have married foreign women and it has literally prolonged their lives in more ways than one.
For you guys in your 20s and 30s. PLEASE do not waste your time with American women like I and numerous other American men did..You have options, choices and the Technology that we did not have back then. Don't waste precious time, energy and money chasing after someone who does NOT want you. If you end up with one, they will make your life hell. I'm not talking about women from the past, I'm talking about today's "modern" American woman

I look forward to learning from you guys here. Just because I'm old doesn't mean I know it all. If I did, I wouldn't be on this forum, right
