Mail order brides

Post by dantana »

You know, you remind me of someone DT. Oh, I know, my middle son Jay. He's about 34. Never married. Has had only the one girlfriend his entire life. That was for a couple of years in his mid twenties. The one, only, super important driving quality that he must have in a girl is she must be pretty. Well, ya know Jay, if you want to catch a pretty girl you may want to make a few changes yourself. - Lose about 50 pounds, shave once in a while, not live in a sty, and maybe - not spend every waking minute, when not at work, playing blasters. (online gaming)

But, why go to all that work when you can just buy yourself a chick. His friend Cee put him up to it. Cee is a carbon copy of Jay. The details are a bit fuzzy, but about 2 years ago Cee and Jay went to Laos and secured a couple of females. About two weeks ago they flew over and brought them home. During the interim Jay told me he was sending her about $400. USD per mth.

I thought it was prob. a scam, but that's because I think Jay intentionally kept things blurred for me. That is, apparently the Trump admin. put a stop on immigration from certain countries. Laos being one of them. The Biden admin. lifted that stop which allowed the girls to come. (Jay is a Right sider)

So, there you go. A pretty Asian girl gets a ticket to the land of milk and honey for the paltry ticket price of having to live with a slob for a couple of years.

Average Cee Jay incels gets to have sex with a pretty girl for the measly sum of about $10 grand and not being able to play blasters at that moment.

Maybe it will work out. Let's hope.

It'll probably work out as well as any other marriage. I hear Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are already considering divorce after a full month of being married.

Of course he did. Once he had secured his own mail-order bride, he limited that crap for all the other losers in the country (his base), because he's a prick who doesn't give a crap about anyone else.

Here's why

"Unrealistic Expectations Are Destroying The Dating Market".

According to the data, 51% of men ages 18 to 29 are single, but only 32% of women are single. What explains the big gap?

The gap is 22.9% in ages 18 to 25.

That's nice, but not for me. Thanks.

I think it's just easier to get a Mexican girlfriend.

These age differences bely huge differences by gender. Among men, those younger than 30 are by far the most likely to be single: About half of men in this age group (51%) are single, compared with only 27% of those ages 30 to 49 and 50 to 64 and 21% of men 65 and older. Women, by contrast, are by far most likely to be single later in life – roughly half of women ages 65 and older are unpartnered (49%), while those ages 30 to 49 are the least likely to be single (19%). Roughly three-in-ten women ages 18 to 29 (32%) and 50 to 64 (29%) are single.
Or perhaps women are prettier when they are 18-29 and men have more attractive wallets when they're 30-49. It's pretty simple.

Many countries that have mail order brides have a tradition of arranged marriages. Marriages are viewed as a transactional exchange, in which love MAY be an outcome, but is by no means guaranteed.

So men with low status in the U.S. still have relatively high status compared to a lot of the world.

Back in the 1960's I was offered $500 to marry a British woman who wanted American citizenship. $500 was a lot of money back then, so I guess I would have been a mail order husband.

Women are not things that you get.

Stop talking about women like this. It's offensive.

Honor and DT,

please continue your back and forth in the prison thread I've split off.

Thanks.
