Looking for Love

[prettyboy1065]

Hi Guys -

I'm a newbie here looking for love and marriage from a gorgeous Latina.  I have been married previously for 3 years and have 2 kids.  I am currently 32, African American, and woman do find me attractive.  I'm in the finance field and currently in grad school for my M.B.A. and studying for my C.P.A.  I have always yearned for someone from Brazil, Peru, Portugal, and even Armenia (after looking at Kim Kardashian of course).  What country would you guys recommend I set my sights on based off of the qualifications I am looking for?  Also would my age play a factor in anything to foreign women?  Also is it possible to fine a model type in another country and expect her to love us unconditionally, unlike AW?

1. Some form of intelligence where I can hold a decent conversation, preferably some form of higher education.
2. Domesticated but is willing to work.
3. Beauty

Hi prettyboy1065,

Welcome to P-L! I will defer your questions to the Latin Lovers.

...is it possible to fine a model type in another country and expect her to love us unconditionally,

No, there are always conditions.  The condition is: you must meet her expectations of what a husband should be.  And those expectations vary from woman to woman.  But it's a big wide world!  Somewhere out there is your match.  Proceed with hopeful caution.

Welcome to the forum and I'm glad you decided to join us. 

As for your question....women are basically women, all over the world.  Your at a pretty good age, not to young...not to old.  As for the country....pick which ever one your comfortable with and you'll do fine.  there's no magic formula, only common sense and good judgment.  It's not a "flashy" answer, but it's the truth.

Pick an ugly one...

Thanks guys.  What age range would you recommend I stay out of.  I'm looking for of course the youngest, but do you think below 21 is advisable?

Basically you want it all!

Given that you are only 32, I would not rule out any age. Of course that depends on the individual and what type of lifestyle you want to have.  Is there a particular reason you are looking for the youngest?  If you live with your children part-time then I am guessing very young women may have more difficulty adapting to that then a gal in her mid 20's.  Every girl will be different so you will have to use your best judgement.

Fathertime!

Welcome to the board.

You're just starting, but some oberservations.

Your laundry wish  list of countries is pretty scattered (2 in South American, 1 in Europe, 1 in the old Soviet Union, (although there is also a city in Colombian named Armenia)

1. Its least expensive (not cheap) but least expensive to travel to Latin and South America.
2. As a black man, you will feel more comfortable in certain places, uncomfortable in others in Latin and South America.  Do you have prefereces for skin color and race in a woman?
3. If you are looking for a young latina late teens, early 20s, realize that most, their maturity level, ability to have a stable relationship and make a transition to the United States is "very problematic."
4.Do you speak or want to learn Spanish and/or Portuguese?
5.If you want to look for a latina wife overseas, are you up to spending somewhere between $10,000 and $60,000 and making multiple trips before you bring someone to the US (and trust all of us, iti will take more then one trip!

Do a lot of thinking and reading.

Good luck!

Hey Dennis Levy!
 
Most of what you say is ok but why do you think you KNOW where Prettyboy (a black man) will be comfortable and uncomfortable? Please explain!

Fathertime!

I will be focusing more of my attention to the South American countries because they are more of my type of women and plus the ease of travel.  I also mentioned Portugal because I have seen similarities between the Portuguese and Brazilian women when it comes to looks.  Armenian women...who doesn't love Kim Kardashian.  I would like to go as young as possible, but of course I can not go to young because I want someone with some formal education.

What age range would you recommend I stay out of.

For the best odds at success, a guy of 32 should be looking at a lower age limit of about 23.

(half your age + 7)

"Thanks guys.  What age range would you recommend I stay out of.  I'm looking for of course the youngest, but do you think below 21 is advisable?"

You're looking for the youngest woman you can find? What a recipe for disaster. As for what age range you should stay out of, I think looking for a girlfriend on middle school playgrounds would be inadvisable.

[prettyboy1065]

Ray, I saw on here somebody else use that formula...is that the rule of thumb?  (eg. 52 date 33, 44 date 29, etc.)

[Ray]

The (half your age + 7) formula has been around for many years. I'm not sure of the origin, but when it's used as a guide for a man looking for a younger mate, it makes a lot of sense to me.

Instead of declaring that x number of years age difference should be the max or that a certain age should be the minimum, this formula takes into account where you are at in your life and allows for a reasonable age difference where the young lady will be at least close to your generational state of mind.

I don't see it as a hard rule of thumb, but as a valuable tool in helping to keep the odds in your favor when planning your future with a prospective mate. There will always be exceptions that work out very well, but I think it is a good starting point when you are weeding out prospective candidates.

Dennis, I am curious...are you by any chance a Black man? If you are, I can understand your personal insights even though they may be negative, but if not, I am a little confused. I just happen to be a Black man, and I personally don't feel any discomfort anywhere in the world I happen to be. Also, I have been well received by every color of woman in the rainbow (although my preference is a peanut butter to honey brown). I am a little peeved that we don't have any blue or green ones to try out.

Since you are obviously Black also because you seem to have such a stout opinion on the Black experience, please explain to me what negative experiences you have had to make you feel like you have to cower in certain areas and can only express your natural manhood in others? Whenever a man feels that he can't let out a good roar wherever he is, I am interested in what may have shrunk his marbles...

Mmmm, Orion slave girls.

Mmmm, Orion slave girls. 

Yep! Before i met my girl, I would have been happy to sample some of that in the spirit of intergalactic relations!

Being a Black man in a Black man's body has been pretty good to me, Dave! 

Where's Dennis, the Grand Poobah of pigeonholing any and every Black guy that pops in here! I sincerely would like to know if his ignorance springs from some helpful form of naivete or is it something else.

Dennis: "Let me catch you while you are brand new and plant the suggestion in your head that you darker fellows need to stay away from my beloved Bogota and head on down to the coast. You will be much happier there! I know how you fellows like to sing and dance and that's all they do along the coast! With all that sunshine, they even look like you down there! Happy trails!"

Where are Eric and Caro when you need them?

Really Soltero, you're black? Gee, you're so well spoken 

[singlefather no more]

Soltero,

DL is hding from you.. jajajajajajaa .. No , he is not a Black man and I am quite shocked for him telling a black man where he can and cannot be comfortable... That is so not cool..

You'll have to catch me on the corner on a Saturday night after a few bottles of Ripple in my alligator pants, felt purple hat with a feather and those sky high shoes with the goldfish in them if you want to hear me break out into some kind of Gangsta Rap, Jeff!

This is the second time I am aware of him saying that nonsense to someone. I am starting to wonder if he has flyers printed up saying "Black man go home!" that he stands at the airport and passes out when he happens to be in Bogota. Seriously, I would like an answer as to why he keeps feeling the need to direct traffic like that. Heaven forbid we have any male Asian members! Can't really shuffle them off to the coast, so where would they go? How about the Indians? Hindus aren't well known for dating outside of their religion, but it could happen...Oh, we would definitely need Dennis for that one...
