S_Parc is right. Unfortunately, most men can't find enough happiness in P4P forever. Most men want children, and they want to grow old with a woman who they feel really loves them. It's understandable.
Case in point:

That's f***ing depressing. Are single moms - even foreign ones - really that powerful that they can dupe a man with decades of life experience and drive him to ruin and despair?

I mean, f**k, single moms' pussies are so loose you wonder how any guy even f***s her after she's popped out a kid or two, much less put a ring on it.
The situation with women, in terms of some median, is pathetic at best.
For one, in my situation, I'm a person in the prime of his life: in-shape, good career, happily married and then what? ... the homewreckers come out of the woodwork to break up my marriage. And let's face it, other successful guys fall for it regularly, like Anthony Weiner and such. I think Huma's recently filed her divorce papers with Anthony. I guess his stock will soon take a nose dive. Now, in contrast to the above, a person like Marcos Z, runs off to some "Mutiny on the Bounty" Tahiti in the Philippines and discovers provincial ppl, who worship him like a white god (see Marlon Brando as Colonel Kurtz in 'Apocalypse Now'). As a result of his newfound so-called powers, he goes back to the west and tells others that he's achieved what they've failed at and acts like John the Baptist.
In reality, however, in Amsterdam, in Boston, etc, he's just a regular Joe, not the Lord Marshall. And like the rest of the average Joes out there, if something were to happen to his Tahitian retreat (like a major landslide and/or a Burmese Junta takeover), he'd be like every other Joe, pursuing any woman who isn't after some "made man" back at home. And that's where I depart from his line of thinking. Really, guys have got to wake up. Mel and I had come of age together. We'd met back in college and have been best of friends, ever since. We grew up together and in a sense, transitioned from late teenager-hood to full adulthood, experiencing all the changes which life brings. So it's obvious, I'd met her in the right time. Perhaps if that didn't happen back then, today, neither of us would have trusted the other, to move something forward.
Bosstone, my great Bostonian hero, has actually summarized my story with Mel very succinctly. And realize, he's 50 and doesn't date anymore. In his opinion... *we're the real deal, others are pretenders*. And if you want to know about single moms, there's a senior managing director of IT, who's footing the tuition bill for his step-daughter, whom he met when she was 14, because that when he'd started dating her mother. And no, she's not attending a UMass campus but one of the most expensive private colleges in the region not named Harvard/MIT. What a waste of money! Seriously, if you're not attending Harvard Law School then you might as well take the delta of that private school tuition vs let's say Framingham State's tuition, and throw it into the bonfire. But no, the mother feels like her daughter deserves the "best", outside of the big H

Many years ago, the Best Picture of 1999, "American Beauty", telegraphed the message of Happier Abroad to the world.
