Western women are hopeless! She went from Princess Leia to Sy Snootles!!!

Save yourself, men. There is absolutely no benefit for any man to get married. You give her all your money, a ring, diamonds, your children, all your time, and your health - and in return she gives you an aging, bloated, conniving, sex-witholding, vindictive, man-hating version of her former self.

Like Tom Leykis says, "men age like wine, women age like milk." Tom Cruise still looks good today and he is in his 40's. The actress that played alongside him about 25 years ago, looks like shit!

Here is one nice thing about older women, they are easier to pick up. "Women are like turds, the older they are, the easier it is to pick them up."

Holly shit! is that really that same hot chick that played in that movie with Tom Cruise? Please tell me it ain't true! She was a true hottie! and now, she looks like a grandmother!!!!

You forgot to mention the kicker...Kelly McGillis is now a confirmed lesbian, after having been married twice already to men. So she really did become a man-hater. If you think I'm inventing this, check her Wikipedia page.

That would not surprise me.....when I travel to english speaking lands I really dislike the level of man-hatred I am exposed to. In the UK the man-hatred is pervasive but considered "normal". Actions and speaking that would be considered a criminal offense in Germany are routine and common in the UK.

For example. In Germany it is a criminal offense to call for the extermination of any group of people or the murder of any group of people. Not just jews or blacks or gypsies. If you say "I wish all men like your husband would be exterminated" you just committed a criminal offense and you are likely to be fined quite a bit of money. But in the west a woman would be cheered on for saying that.

There is a deeply embedded psychotic level of man-hatred in western women. I see it in their eyes. It is right under the surface. Just the smallest prod with the truth will bring it forward which is why I like to provoke women. It brings out the man-hatred for the lads to see.

LOTS of these hate filled shrews will end up alone.

I was in a bar last week just having a few drinks and this other german guy who was alone asked to join me just over a bite to eat and drinks. Since we were both alone it sounded like a good idea. The conversation turned to women. He was scathing of german women. I laughed my arse off and told him how much worse the UK women were. He could not believe what I told him. He spoke very little english and had never been to the UK. So he had no idea how bad it was. I guess he was about 50 and married. I thought it was very funny he was very critical of german women while I sing their praises vs UK women.

It's a known fact that men age better than women. You'd be hard pressed to find a stunner in her 30s. For men you can't distinguish if they're 25 or 35 in most cases.
Hell, I take myself as an example. When I keep my mouth shut people think I look very mature but when I smile they say I have a baby face.

[Jacaré]

As they say, men age like wine while women age like milk. So true.

Interesting article found at this link.

It has some really striking glimpses into the mind of an AW. I'm struck with how precisely her thoughts coincide with writings by men here. Peter, it seems like you wrote her lines.!

Here's the text: (Emphasis is mine)



Is your marriage safe in Costa Rica? (And how about YOU?)

“Hey, Jeanettaâ€￾, you think, “That seems like a crazy subjectâ€￾!

But despite everything I’ve read about Costa Rica, I haven’t seen anything about this subject. No one seems to address the problems some expatriate women have with husbands leaving them for “brighterâ€￾ futures with younger women.

Well, ladies, such is not a new problem but rather one that has existed for centuries. It seems to me that when men reach a certain age their hair starts falling out along with other age changes, and they start to believe that a relationship with a younger woman will help to maintain their youth. Of course, the reason he is old is not because he is married to an old lady. He is old or getting old because his testosterone levels are dropping (and your hormones are dropping as well).

Just like we women are lifting everything up, the guys are doing the same. Some designer drugs have made the dead come to life. These drugs are more easily available in Costa Rica without prescription. That availability has made some guys feel like they have found the fountain of youth.

Since the advent of some medications men have gotten a second chance, or at least the pills are advertised to give such hope. I think some men actually think, or perhaps just hope, that that pill will help them perform with renewed youth. Ladies, men don’t often discuss it but some men need to take a lot of those pills before youth renewal comes around. Ladies, do not get frustrated and start feeling bad.

I cannot blame a man for wanting a younger woman. Just think about it, ladies. Is a guy with 6 pack abs or the guy whose belly is so big he can not see his knees more desirable? The difference is, I think, that men forget that everything on them sags and wrinkles, too. Everyone concentrates on the youth or age of a woman. Turn and look at your husband, ladies. Is he the hard body you fell in love with? Our society is such that the aging of women is focused on, but the aging of men tends to be ignored. We all get wrinkled old and tired!

To be fair, it’s true that older men are not the only ones looking for someone younger. There are some women who are older who are looking for younger men as well. It is just more prevalent among men than women. Plus women usually have more to lose financially when a mate is unfaithful.

When I was young we lived close to the Air Force base. At that time every girl had her head set on marrying a soldier. Not only did that a soldier have a job but also there were benefits paid to dependents. So, some of the girls got pregnant just so they could get the soldier to marry them, or at least be responsible for paying support for the child she was expecting. That was during the time women saw their only career avenue as housewife and mother. The economic opportunities that are available now to women in the US were not available way back then in the 1950′s.

Here in Costa Rica the advantage an older guy has is that many women here are far down the economic scale. The chance of pulling yourself out of poverty by way of employment is not as available here as it is in the US and some other more progressive countries. So, a young girl often grows up with the hopes of marrying an older man. Some parents encourage this type of marriage because it also helps them.

Here in Costa Rica some of the young women marry an older guy, and quickly get pregnant. If that older guy is getting Social Security, she will now get income payable because he now has a wife with a dependent child. Usually the income is about $500.00 a month or more, which may not seem like a lot of money. In Costa Rica that is a good income for many people.

Did you know that paternity does not have to be proven in Costa Rica? If your husband’s new found love gets pregnant the fact that he had a vasectomy 20 years ago means nothing. All the young woman has to do is point to him and say he is the Daddy. They don’t do any testing to prove it or disprove the allegations. This can greatly affect your property ownership. You have already lost your husband to a younger woman; why should you lose your property?

There is no doubt that Cost Rican women are beautiful. And they have an attractive submissive charm. That submissive charm hides the real character that comes out when a guy makes a commitment. That shy bashful woman can turn into a Paranha overnight.

If your husband goes through this, before you go feeling sorry for yourself and feeling hopeless, take care of YOUR business. Get yourself a lawyer. Find out what sort of collateral damage your husband’s love affair could cost you. Find out what the laws are in this country pertaining to your rights. After you take care of yourself legally, you will have plenty of time to grieve and be angry.

Sometimes I wonder, ladies, where our heads are. We get emotional and allow ourselves to be stripped of everything we have worked to build. As I said, get your crying and feeling sorry for yourself out of the way after you TCB (take care of business). Do not jump up and go back to the US until you have made sure that everything has been taken care of.

I recommend to you women that if you decide to come to Costa Rica with your husband, first make sure that all of your finances are secure. In the US, the law in most states is if the husband dies the property goes to the wife. We have many states that are joint property states. It is not easy for property to be attached to a law suite. Plus in the US you can take a woman to court and sue her for “alienation of affectionâ€￾ or bring charges of adultery against her and your husband. Even though a lot of people practice adultery in the US, that does not mean it is not illegal. I don’t know about the laws in Costa Rica in regards to those things. But what I’ve found is that most women who have loved and lost here, just leave Costa Rica with out taking care of their business.

If you love your husband, don’t get so frustrated and embarrassed about your situation. It is something that women throughout the centuries have found themselves addressing. You are not the only one it has happened to. You can even read stories in the bible about men leaving their wives for other women. Remember David and Bathsheba? We don’t have to go back that far, though. Do you remember Bill and Hilary Clinton? I love Hilary; she did not allow that younger woman destroy her life nor mariage. She did not give in or give up. Her future was worth pursuing and her past was worth preserving

Does every woman who comes to Costa Rica have this problem? No, but many do, let’s just say there are enough women having this problem to discuss it.

There are so many wonderful things about Costa Rica and they should be highlighted and talked about. We also have some problems here in our community of foreigners as well and they need to be discussed.

Loss of money in bad property investments is not the only way you can lose here. There are many other things you should check out and be prepared for. That does not mean that if you move here, you need to follow your husband everywhere he goes. If a person decides they are going to leave, no matter what you do they are going to leave. You should just be prepared personally and financially. There are three things that can separate you and change the course of your life and they are death, desertion and divorce. All of them can leave you a wreck both financially and personally. If you move to Costa Rica, make sure you know what you would do in any of these cases.

My husband died, and upon his death over 50% of my income was lost. You have to be ready for such possibilities. It is a must that you prepare for those unplanned incidents. Your grief is the same really and your frustration is the same. Before my husband died, if you had told me that my frustration would be the same as if he had left me for another woman, I would have though you were are crazy. In fact it is actually worse, because I cannot call him and fuss nor can I threaten him or challenge him to change his ways and come to his senses.

It is just as hard to say my husband died as it is to say he left me or divorced me. The things I’ve found that have been an advantage for me here in Costa Rica is that the community I’m living in is so loving, supportive and understanding. I don’t feel left alone; so many of my friends call, e-mail or stop by to see how I’m doing. If I return to the US it will because it is a personal choice and not because I have to. In Costa Rica I can survive on 50% less income very well. My lifestyle has not changed very much except instead of having a warm body in bed next to me I have had to replace the warm body with a hot water bottle.

The hot water bottle is not the same but the hot water bottle gives me no lip and when it gets cold I just get up, fill it up with more hot water and then return to bed. My hot water bottle’s name is Charlie.

Every morning I get up, go to the gym and then return home sit on my terrace and enjoy a great breakfast. I’m living in paradise. What better place to be left in? I’m so glad that since Charles had to leave, that he left me in such a beautiful place.

If you come to Costa Rica stop by for a cup of coffee. I’ll be at La Terraza Guest House in Grecia. I’ll be at La Terraza Guest House in Grecia. Look me up on the web at www.laterrazab-b.com and check me out on Facebook and LinkedIn.

PS Maybe I should bring a greedy, territorial, combative AW with me to Costa Rica. Then she can be vigilant and guard me from advances by local golddigging young hotties.

Yikes. Can't believe I once lusted after her -- not as Princess Leia, but as a teenage nympho in Shampoo (1975). I think we may have an object lesson here in what mega-quantities of drugs will do to you over time.

Feeling a bit ornery, today, dealing with ameriskanks this week; thought this thread needed a bump.

Curious if any of you men have been to a 10~15 year school reunion, recently. If so, how did the former "hotties" age?
