... in response to Re: Is it as good as we hope it is? For ..., posted by Patrick on Aug 1, 2001Patrick: I would have to second what you have said. My Gloria is five years younger than I (41 & 36). I have to admit, I was one of those who loved the chiquita's, as my 'target' age seemed to be 20-25. I had absolutely no trouble finding dates for the first month or so I was in Mexico, in fact I was overwhelmed. But it soon became apparent that most of the girls in my 'target' group just either wanted to be 1) friends, 2) practice their English, 3) just including me in their fun, which was very nice too, as american college girls would never ask a 40 year old student to go out to a club with them, 3) they were too controlling or played games. But hey, they were young girls, let them have their fun, its natural for them to be that way. Like I said before, I almost lost out on the best woman I could have ever found just due to my own arrogance regarding her chronological age. Luckily, I woke up in time to find this treasure of a woman with no red flags, no ulterior motives (she has a green card and visa, her family is solid middle class), an education, loves to pitch in (is a hard worker) and loves sports (she plays in a volleyball league and likes to Hike in the Mountains). Anyway, I am getting long winded and straying, but bottom line: don't discount women over 30 at all. If I were a newbie, I would concentrate on women in this age group....Randy
