I have been lurking for some time now, and finally decided to join the board.  I am a 48 year old African American divorcee with non-custodial children.  I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent and average appearance.  I am told that I look younger than my years, for whatever that's worth.

Like many others, the combination of my personal experiences with my ex, and the experiences and observations of my friends, co-workers, etc. has convinced me to explore the possibilities of a "foreign" relationship.  I have dug through the archives and have really appreciated the advice, knowledge, wisdom, and personal experiences provided by members of this board.

I am not completely turned off by AW, but I cannot imagine ever marrying one again.  Like others have said, I do not find most AW in my "age group" particularly attractive.  Further, I find that many do not want a good husband, but rather a "dependable friend" and occasional lover.  I have no problem with that.  If that's what they want, they can have it.

I registered in the Latin forum because that is where my primary interest is.  I am also interested in the women of Africa and of Asia.  Therefore, I intend to post on the Asian board from time to time.  I have a completely open mind right now, and am glad to see posts about Brazil, Dominican Republic, and other locales in CA and SA.

I intend to hop on a plane sometime in the very near future (finances providing), but I am not quite sure just where I want to go first.  I have been communicating with some gorgeous ladies from Brazil and Honduras, so I am leaning in that direction.  The posts about Colombia have been impressive as have the posts about the DR.  So many places, so many women, so many opportunities, so little time!

Well keep the good posts coming fellas, there are many more "lurkers" than you might imagine!  Peace!

Hi Intrepid, just wanted to offer you advice if you happen to think of Peru. I know it's not a typical destination, but I think it is under-rated.

You have the right attitude about taking your time. A good woman will understand that, so that should help you right away with making a decision. God bless your search!

Hey Surfscum!  No I hadn't given Peru much thought.  But I have perused some photos of Peruvian ladies and they are indeed attractive!  You say Peru is "underrated" huh?  Well perhaps that is a GOOD thing!  Thanks for the recommendation!  Peace!

glad that you might take the "plunge" one of these days. it will change your attitude on women, but the best advice someone can give you is..... take your time and dont marry the first girl you think is beautiful. learn her personality, her family and friends, and making a few week trips is not the way to actualy know a person. if you have been reading on this board for a while, you can see that the ones usualy in trouble are the ones who got married in a short amount of time.

Thanks for the advice Mudd, it is well taken!  I cannot honestly say that I am "looking for a wife" right now.  I need a little time to "exhale."  I believe that I am a relatively level-headed person.  I am not so anxious to jump into another marriage right away.  However, I do want to develop some "prospects" that have the potential for a future relationship and maybe marriage.

I have seen where guys that got married in a short amount of time seem to get into more trouble.  I have also seen where guys who took a little more time also got into trouble.  It appears that there is no "magic" recipe for happiness, or success (whatever that is).  I intend to take my time, look around, and see what's out there.  I am in no rush.

On the other hand, one can never predict when the almighty "thunderbolt" will strike.  I don't think I've met her (thunderbolt) before.  From what I have read, the almighty thunderbolt can make some ordinarily level-headed men make some risky decisions.  In the meantime, I will save up some "travel" money and try to figure out where to make my first excursion.  Peace!

I went to Honduras several years ago scuba diving.  I don't remember a lot of the area but I do remember some very beautiful and nice girls there.  I was married at that time so I only observed but if I was not getting married to a girl in Cali in three weeks, I would not mind checking Honduras out again.   And by the way ... welcome aboard.

Thanks Hiker!  I hope someone will post about their experiences in Honduras.  Exploration is the M.O. and variety is the spice at this stage of the game for me.  Thanks again!

Welcome to the board! I could have written your post without any changes and I wish you the best. If you'd like some first-hand experiences on several countries feel free to contact me.
