I use to think she just wanted to hang with me but she would get mad when I don’t tell her what was going on and how the game is played so she likes it. I just had to teach her don’t like the Raiders like the Steelers
But I will say I never had a problem with American women joining me for football but it is not the same when they hate the game and are reading a magazine while you watch the game.
As for soccer my wife watches that too. Once she took me to a game in Barranquilla and I thought I was going to be in the middle of a riot. She told me that was just the typical fan reactions fighting and shooting fireworks and throwing trash at each other.

“Most spoke no Spanish”
Of course they are Americans. It is not a necessity to speak her language nor should it be expected.

are you saying that learning spanish should not be expected initially or even after dating and perhaps marrying a colombiana?

Why is it that men who focus their attention on careers, especially technical ones, considered worthless (at least by American women) because they lack skils in how to dress stylishly, dance like Fred Astaire, or have a smooth polished line of BS to feed women. You're right, most are good men, who would treat a women right, provide for her far better than a tatooed bad boy, and certainly be a better father than most.

Do you realize that in a survey of AW, one of the characteristics they listed as desirable in men is "dangerous." Can you imagine, DANGEROUS? I understant the fantasy, James Bond types, but in real life, women hooked up with dangerous men are more likely to be hanging out of a trailer in a tube top screaming to the cops to haul his azz off to jail than they are in a designer gown in Monte Carlo saying "banco."

Good follow up and I appreciate contrasting points of view. Most was repetitious for the new posters on the board.
If you can help someone out that is an introvert that is a good thing, and you did acknowledge the high amount of misfits that think going south will solve their problems. Just ain't gonna happen for those guys.

And these socially challenged gringos have nothing to offer the hot babe except money which leads her to expect to be wined, dined and taken shopping on the first date.  This is a good reason to not choose a woman solely on looks.

Great observations.

Sure glad you've decided to share your obviously extensive knowledge with us. So I take it you're saying:

1. Don't fall for the first hot body you come across,
2. Learn a little about the language and culture,
3. Be emotionally stable,
4. Take your time,
5. Don't throw money at the women?

Who would ever have guessed! Thanks! I'm sure all the guys on this board will benefit greatly from this insight!

This should be printed on a pair of underwear and sold to all first time
guys chasing women around the globe. Then when you go to use your
man brain your other brain will have warning to try to stop man brain
from making the mistakes man brain is known for throughout the history
of romance etc...

This pertains mostly to number 1 which leads to Number 5.

Too funny.....yes.....what he said has been posted a MILLION times on this board over the years and is simple common sense......but...if a "newbie" can benefit from it then it was worth the post.

I wasn't trying to be a sarcastic a-hole, just funny. It's so true that that is the entirety of MOB 101 and really can't be repeated enough.

I don't think the basics can be repeated enough. Just bear with me as I expose other clues that will show my 'extensive knowledge' as you so aptly phrased it. My basic message was to stop being so ignorant about the process and learn from past history.

That thought crossed my mind as I was reading his response.

Not every reader is equally as enlightened as the next.
