We are all here for a purpose… For our own reasons everyone on this board is seeking or has found a foreign soulmate… Bad experiences with AW, fantasies about younger more attractive partners, someone with the family values that are so illusive in this country, etc… Just like any endeavor, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not… Granted, some of us have more/less to offer than others, but the underlying fact is we ALL want someone to share our lives with and to feel fulfilled… Just like life, you get out of it what you put in… If you have unrealistic expectations you are kidding yourself… Patrick has commented more than once that before starting the process you should look in the mirror, take a gut check and get rid of all your baggage…
There has been a lot of flaming lately between those who think the process works and those who have been burned… Bottom line, everyone’s experience is different… Sometimes useful information comes from these posts but most of the time it becomes a battle to see who has the highest testosterone count…
I think (my opinion) the argument over the length of time you know someone before taking the big step is irrelevant… I have AM/AW friends that knew each other for 2 months, got married and have been together for years… In the same vane, I also know AM/AW couples that had been together for 10 years before they got married and then were divorced within a year…
To those of you who are making this work, more power to you… My hat is off to you…
For those of you who have had failed relationships with foreign ladies, whether they were LW, AW (Asian Women) or FSUW, something went very wrong…
Aside from the normal problems that arise in any relationship, many of you have alluded to the fact that fundamental cultural differences between AM and foreign ladies contributed to the failure of your relationship… What are some of the things you have encountered that you would classify as cultural differences???
