AFA Seminar - Review from attendee
Posted: January 17th, 2017, 12:18 pm
I went to one of the AFA seminar this past weekend and quite enjoyed it. So, here are some thoughts.
First, make no mistake, this is a sales pitch. There is pressure to sign up right away. On the other hand, I never felt that it crossed the line into being obnoxious.
There were some interesting characters there. One guy made it obvious that he was a player and was most likely interested in being a sex tourist. I hope he doesn't go on any of these tours.
There was a gentleman in his 70s who was looking to find a woman in her 50s. He seemed nice enough and could offer a woman a pleasant life. I hope something works out for him.
There was a 30 something Indian (as in the country) gentleman there with his mother. He is probably getting a lot of pressure to marry and have children. He seemed nice enough, but really clueless about relationships and the true nature of women. He is likely to get chewed up by an ambitious and dominant woman. I think his best bet would be a more culturally accepted arranged marriage (for some value of "arranged"). I hope it turns out okay for him.
There was another man, probably in his late 50s, who had been over in the past and continued to be in contact with a young lady. He seemed to be a nice person, but socially very awkward. He's lonely and very thirsty for someone. From listening to him, I am afraid things will end badly for him. I hope he doesn't get hurt too badly.
There were a couple of black men there and a bit of discussion about racism in the various cultures. Kind of interesting.
One of the things that bothered me was the videos running (you can find them on their website) seemed to be emphasizing how "sexy" the women are. A number of the camera shots seemed to linger on various body parts. Lots of bikinis on the beach and lots of rather scanty club wear. Personally, I am looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with, not a one night stand. There's a Dave Chappelle routine about women who dress like, shall we say, "a woman of negotiable virtue", that is topical. I found it to be quite a negative.
So, if you are even a little interested in a relationship with a foreign woman, I highly recommend attending one of these seminars when it happens in your neck of the woods.
