gauranteed to land-one way or another? Hey Dan, Ihave busted your and LP knads many times and have been given teh same- You actually can get a wife for $2000 maybe even less if you can get to her to pay-does it happen often-once with Mark . But it can happen. Can guys like me get a break and find teh one girl with a sense of humor and fire in her crawl that can handle the YOE? it can happen - verdict is still out. I will let you know in 5 years. But hey dude I know you got more class. He!! look at LP he is so soft I want to put him on my pillow and snuggle up with him! These new guys need strong objective discourse and guys like you and LP are good for blowing away the smoke-while guys like me and some of the others are the cloud kings. But hey it is Christmas. Be happy and kiss someone you love-even if it is your own ass. could not resist.
Peace dude
Joe

Unfortunately, that's not how he explained the $2,000 figure.  Maybe he was extremely lucky and got the girl to put up the money for part of the "investment", but that's not what he says in his post and someone reading it for the first time would think that for $2,000 you can land a supermodel 20 yrs your junior.  To suggest that's likely to occur is a true myth.

You know you're a cynical old fart don't you LP? But for the most part I have to agree with you. The only rebuttal I have for you is that it's better live life and take a chance than to hide in fear. Sure bad things can happen if we venture out of our hiding spots. But bad things can happen even if we spend our whole lives hiding. Seeing some of the world and maybe getting burned beats living the life of a hermit.

But then I think you already know this. If you didn't you wouldn't be here. You just like to ruin other people's fun(lol).

...to avoid being burned, it get us all on occasion and the more me burned the more cynical me gets. Been a long while since I've been burned and I attribute my, ah, attitude to that. I do agree with you, the trick is not to hide from it but to exercise more caution, mainly because you and I are the only sane ones left. (lol...and I'm not so sure about you. :-)

Remember, for all I say, I'm still involved in this little adventure. I'm only reacting to my experiences and some detailed observatons with what I consider a decent sample.
Just takin it slow while I enjoy what I have at the present, but me thinks my day with one of these females is likely coming. Ya know, there is something about 'em.....

To be truthful, I often wonder why I'm here, but it's not to ruin anyone's fun I assure you. There's always more than one way to look at things and being cautiously suspisious (OK, cynical) has saved my butt more than one time.

lol..Besides, reading this stuff is sometimes better than covering all the windows with aluminum foil and sitting in the glow of a TV in a darkened room cleaning my UZI.

That I'm sane, then I know you've lost it it. I don't have the experience to give a decent sampling. But here's what I was told.

One woman who immigrated to Canada on her own told me the visa is the first priority. The ladies who were interested in me told me it was love. The young 18-20 year olds that are just friends said they were more or less fooling around. They were just too young to seriously want to get married.
But from what I saw in Russia these women weren't falling over themselves to get out. They were just trying to find the best options. The desperation factor isn't as strong in the ladies I know as what some people have said. I think that many of the ladies are as cynical and calculating as you are.

.....Happy Holidays also.

lol...I wish I was a captain, they won't allow me to scare people like that. These days it's flying "boxes", as they say in the package delivery biz. Computer parts, people parts, who knows whats back there. It's OK because, unlike the "self loading human cargo", the boxes never complain about delays, the ride, cabin temps, ect, ect. lol..They also don't get shtifaced on board.

Never met a box capable of taking the airplane away from me either. The boxes themselves are nice, it's the danm box cutters ya have to watch out for.

The trip to Purdue was cancelled and will be rescheduled so don't worry, our time is still coming. :-)

Just tell your "friends" (ahem), this:

Don't judge my abilities by your inabilities.
