Oh no!!! You were all right!!!

[MarkInTx]

Atfer reading JohnL's post, in which he tells me that I am "riding on LUST and nothing more"... I have finally come to my senses.

Good Lord, you are all right!!!

How could I have been so blind as to think that I met someone that I fell in love with.

I see the truth now!

And, the more I have thought about it, the more I have realized that not only was I a fool to have fought it so long... We really shouldn't keep such a valuable service hidden.

Just look at it:

Knowing virtually nothing about me, you guys ascertained not only my motives, but Victoria's motives as well, and have given me absolutely sterling romance advice. My romance's demise has been predicted, and you all saw through my smoke screen to determine that I am nothing more than a shallow, depsperate man, who grabbed the first green card scammer who smiled at me, and then posted details an pictures of my trophy so I could brag to the world.

Yep... you saw it all!

Remarkable!

And now that Cleo has been busted by the feds, I think there is a real market for this kind of prognostication (Sorry Johnnydude, I know I promised I wouldn't use big words... Hey.. what can I say. I'm not thinking clearly, I'm in Lust!)

Maybe we can all go into business together... (I mean, when I can tear myself away from my lust, that is...)

Just imagine:

"Planet Love's Psychic Hotline. No 900 number to call. Simply post 1000 words or less to an internet board, and our psychics will tell you everything that is important about you.

Free Love Advice given daily. (Daily, hell, we'll update it hourly!)

We answer all questions of importance:

Is she honest... or a scammer?

Is it love... or merely lust?

How soon is too soon to have sex?

How many men has she been with before you?

Virtually anything you wish to know (and many things that you don't wish to know... but that's only because you're a putz who doesn't know what's good for you! We'll decide what you need to know!!!)

Don't bother with a profile. Just post something, and we will quickly -- from the comfort of our armchairs, while drinking a beer -- tell you everything about you that you need to hear.

Act before midnight tonight! Our Planet-Love psychics are standing by!

Entertainment purposes only -- our entertainment, not yours -- None of our psychics are actually married themselves, or have had a successful relationship that lasted longer than 2 years -- that's not a problem, is it?]

If you didn't have a certain amount of lust in this relationship, then you'd never jump into marriage.  Otherwise you would just go from girl to girl and never commit to anything.  Lust is a good starting point for a relationship and when she sees it on your face, she'll like it!  If she's a decent girl and you get along, love will follow.

There is a Greg on this board who actually admitted to using a psychic and there is another guy (might have left by now or still be lurking not sure) that I actually called "gullible" a while back, so be careful because a couple of guys might take you seriously.

Your psychic hotline sarcasm reminds me of some guys who posted here around two years ago.  They were all talking about buying a telephone "truth detector" that the maker claimed could detect lies from voice spectral analysis to check to see if their girlfriends were scammers.  They were so afraid of scams that they fell for one scam to avoid another.  Perhaps they weren't quite as gullible as the people who dial the psychic hotlines, but I couldn't help but feel that they were obviously too gullible to be searching for a wife overseas.

Each of us makes our own decisions and we all know more about ourselves and girlfriends than others who simply read our messages here.  Ultimately, we all rely on our own judgement.  If you feel you made a good decision, then that's all that really matters.  There are no guarantees for anybody marrying this way, or even for those who marry local women for that matter, and no amount of caution will insure a successful marriage.

LOL!!! I must agree... There is no guarantee about a
relationship. I have 2 lesson's to base my future decisions
on (both marriage and others that dont need mention ) forgive if I entered this board without saying about my past
I am not a newbie or a neophyte. I have been to 60+ countries in my 50+ years but!! I will never say I am a expert about anything.
We all follow diffrent roads to the end result.i moj russkij - ne ochen' horosh

Patrick,

Are you pulling my leg? Someone really bought a Truth detector...

OhMyGod! It's even worse than I thought!!!

As for no guarantees... that is one lesson that my divorce taught me already... You are very right...

Come on Mark your smart enough to realize that when you come back here and start posting that your getting married after meeting a woman one time, that you wouldn’t have guys giving you the business.  Lets get this straight, you knew you were going to marry her before you even seen met, she turned out to be everything you dreamed of.  Then you write about how you had sex the first time you laid eyes on each other and posted a few provocative pictures, then write about the whole story in detail for the whole world to see.  Do you really think you would not get a bunch of guff from the wanton be’s.  You’re experience is not the norm here; you defied the standard steps that are known to truly work.  Yes, your still walking on cloud nine and for the most part men here don’t want to be the ones to talk negative.  You’re not out of the water yet and I think you know this.  From reading your post before you found her and after I for one thing your one of the rare one’s that can pull such a stunt off.  People are jealous of you and that’s that.  Yes I am pointing out the obvious like usual.

I have got to agree with you.  I hope for the best for Mark and am happy to see a guy happy.  To each his own.  I do not judge.

Mark,
I wish you as much misery and heartache as I have experienced with Lena, my "obvious" green card scammer!
