Ouch :) one good book Lashing is all I would need. The repeat I swear is not Necessary. You know you like a place when you visit it most everyday and cant wait to read what other members had to write :)
Hey spirit what if I told you I was into the whole spanking thing would you change the above statement :) LOL.
QC, interesting reading as always. What makes you think that these women with the age diff would necessarily head to the door? I see the chances as equal between the 50+ year old male heading to the door and the 20+ year old female heading to the door. This mindset of defeat and lack of confidence based strictly on something as controversial as age difference is all it takes to be damped by any woman of any age. I have NEVER in my entire life been damped by a woman except for those who had very good reasons. I am convinced that any woman will stick with you if she believes you're worth her devotion and time even if there is not deep love between you (because if she loves you, the outcome is obvious). I always explained this one simple thing to the women that I was involved for reasons that were incremental to sex: I care about you and I feel there is a connection between us, but if you let me down, I will forget you in a snapshot and I will go on with my life, and you will make it very easy for me because you will give me reason to convince myself that you're not worth ME. In other words, QC, a woman including my wife with whom we share the same affection and love is as priviliged to have my full attention as I am. Under these circumstances, age difference is a non-factor.
Wtrav,
QC placed a strong emphasis on the temptations offered by the wide availability of younger men who can be just as good or even better providers than the 20+ yr older husband.
What QC does not understand, know or consider just as valid is that those offers are available to women of ALL ages who live here and have either money, looks or both.
What the hell do you want me to do....go on a murdering rampage to make sure there are no younger affluent men for me to worry about, lol?
Hardly a solution.
Live in her country?
Never..!!
Marry a local woman?..HA!
QC,
I do not bury my head in the sand when I evaluate the risks and advantages of the age differences between myself and MY Lena.
And I waste no time bringing it up to the forefront of our conversations to find common ground or pick up on potential red flags.
She is aware, as well.
I do not think I'm a fool for taking these chances. I'm going into it with my eyes wide open, my ducks in a row and my prenup pretty well written.
Simply put, everything you predict, suspect and foresee has a much higher degree of reality for those men who DO NOT discuss this things with their women.
I am much more polite in my conversations with MY Lena than the way you, I and others communicate in here.
That does not mean I shy away from bringing up serious subjects or avoid letting her know what I want, expect, believe and find acceptable or not.
Neither does she, for that matter.
Guys, it's NEVER a guarantee of eternal bliss, but like I said a gazillion times you must have a clear concise mental picture of what you want your life to be like.
The clearer the better, to the point of being able to parrot it without hesitation to whatever woman you are trying to woo...how else do you expect to find common ground to build something serious?
THAT is what I think QC does not have and by default places both of us on entirely opposite ends of the search spectrum.
Him on a nomadic juvenile rampage to score as much FSU pussy as he can possible fit in his new van and me trying to build a sedentary never ending lifetime of one night stands with the same woman, who by the way DOES look almost as young as my 19 year old daughter.
Men, you have bigger problems to solve if you ever worry that some people may ask you if that's your daughter...
I know that never bothered me, but when I told MY lena how she would feel if people said it she answered: "I'll just have to make sure that when they see us together I act like your woman, not your daughter.."
And she has, every time we were in public.
you see what you have done now?
(sarcastic voice) Niiiice, well done. Suddenly this thread is alive, not kicking anymore, and instead an interesting discussion has developed.
I liked that bone better, and sure, now there's the odd boner appearing, but they've gone soft and stopped growling. Ah well, life's a bitch sometimes, but what worries me now is that Spirit is talking about the big book.
Bad job QC, Martin did effing better ;-)
Talking about Books, SpiritTraveller and QuietCharm (note: all in a single sentence!) here's something to consider. I just opened a mail from a friend who does not ever send me rubbish, however when I opened it I thought she made an exception.
Not. As said my mouse was hovering over the delete button, but instead I'll post it here. Some good lessons in here....

It was sent to me as a Good Karma. Whatever, it aint bad ?
Now I am waiting for the next posts which should by rights be the thoughts of the Dalai Lama.
Or actually a guy I met from Hialeah who THOUGHT he was the Dalai Lama. I will never forget the sight of that twit. In full Tibetan regalia in Miami. Thank god I don't have to attend anymore of those kipper dancng sessions of my ex wife. Anymore of those nuts and it might have affected me. Can you imagine that? Me being affected by a bunch of whackos? It could have happened anything is possible.
Doc Teedee,I really do not deserve to be in the same comparitive sentence with a book and QC. He is much more the eloquent elocutioner then I--simple doddering half illiterate American. I like your simple word of wisdom. I agree with them mostly--except the one about loosing. I say--if you want to get loose-just don`t juice the goose. I remember thinking 20 years ago that I was not completed except by the woman I was in love with. This same woman who,when I made a mistake-would immediately make her call to arms--"well,whaddareyagonna do to make this right?" SHe made me realize that I needed alone time. Time away from the expectations of everybody. The relations I had with her still haunt me 4 years later. Do not give away everything you own,if it makes you barren inside yourself. I am working for a woman contractor now,and she lured me away from the job with blackberry margaritas and Hunan chicken. I told her how I felt about American women after a couple of drinks,and she turned red and told me how insulted she was by me. I am a tiger anyway-so I told her that I bow to no person, and take no shit off of any woman-my mama,girlfriend,or her. I was a little red myself,but on a roll with it.It opened doors of respect like I could not imagine--except now my boss lady always gabs to her friends about Blaine is in love with a Russian woman---no matter how many times I tell her Kazakhstan-Khazakhstan!!! Oh by the way--don`t drink a lot of beer before taking erectile aids. Of course this is an old trick which works well. Drink a lot of whatever before getting the diamond cutter. You will stay up for a long long time,with that slight feeling to relieve yourself,which gets bigger and bigger with time. If you are not wise and finish up before the risk of bladder exsanguination,you may be too late to water the horse. A terrible pain,which will leave you in tears,and have you on your knees begging the snake to loose his load. Please Dick Trickle!! Sounds like a joke-but excruciating.
:) LOL We are all Wackos, It's a cold sick world thats why I live in it:)
I am preparing for my trip to Moscow I leave in July I Know
I Know But she seems to be very Kind and she speaks English Better than me:)
I always Have back up plans and I can call on you guys Crying :) When I get mugged. Roofied. Rapped (okay you cant Rape the willing:) one thing it will be an adveture I much need.
Sorry for the delay. Just finished banging another juvenile in the back of the van. Actually the van's off the road at the moment. Springs have gone. :-)
TD
Not bad at all. I like no.10. Think I'll practice it once this thread has died the death.
wtrav
You have a point. But I suspect the 50+ guy will be less inclined to start over again with all the expense and BS involved and he sure as hell does not have a bevy of hot young replacements in his immediate area to console him.
Is a younger woman really good for our 50+ men? Look at Prince Charles. Diana is his hot babe.. darling of the media, yet our Charlie finds her superficial and only fit to bear his children. He found more in common with the older slapper, Camilla. Maybe youth isn't so desirable after all.

'Now QC...in summary'
Christ. I feel like I'm at a seminar.
...'and me trying to build a sedentary never ending lifetime of one night stands with the same woman'
LMAO. Another fridge magnet for Izi. ;-))
'..those offers are available to women of ALL ages who live here and have either money, looks or both.'
These are the women you despise, right? Pretty small pool, too. Or are you just talking California? And just as you find your Lena far more attractive to you than American women, other men won't?
Anyone with half a brain will have discussed their concerns with their intended. Age difference included.
Caring partners will recognise the insecurity and provide reassurance. They do this, even though they perhaps don't mean what they say, because we know our partner needs to hear it or.. dare I challenge the air of smug conplacency.. they have their own agenda. And can we really tell if they are lying?.. 'Of course you are the best lover I have ever had, darling.' 'Actually there have only been 6 men before you.'.. and the classic.. 'Don't worry, honey. Mom is only staying the weekend'.
'Men, you have bigger problems to solve if you ever worry that some people may ask you if that's your daughter...'
We know really that the age difference is NO big deal between 2 consenting adults. And who gives a rat's fart what anyone else thinks. Right? Jet?
You make it abundantly clear that you have your shit together and are fully in control of your life and you have made all the right moves with your Lena. Good for you. I assume you had the same confidence when you married your American wife? The same declarations, the same idealism. What you don't have under your belt is a track record of success that qualifies you as worth listening to. Just as I don't.
That's why this forum is mostly just a bunch of talking heads. It would benefit from some FSU women in here, married and living in the west, offering the whole picture, not just a narrow macho view. Just think of all those lovely female posts to savage. Who needs Viagra?
QC,
Quite a few of my ideas, opinions and general choices have been made, changed or discarded based on what I learnt from talking directly to FSU women already married to western men currently living in southern California.
These friends, neighbors and acquaintances have marriages of 5-10 years.
Does that qualify for your discrimitating eye, mate?
I have even asked a couple of them to visit the forum and post their first hand experiences. Both politely refused citing lack of interest in getting themselves on the line of fire. I don't blame them.
The most visible common denominator among these women is an honest appreciation for the opportunity to have a better life that allows them not only a higher standard of living, but also gives them the means to provide for their immediate families back in the old country while doing something they really like or were trained to do in the first place.
It is my very lack of a good marriage track record that led me to make it an important part of my search to learn as much as possible about their marriages without becoming a pest..:))
These women work with their husbands or have businesses/jobs of thier own.
The age differences range between 6-18 yrs.
FSU marriages in so calif are all over the place. It's a big advantage for me to be able to talk to these people.
There is already a built-in network of FSU working, decent people that MY Lena will be able to plug in immediately.
this can be easily fixed, watch - Senor Toad, just for you a repeat:
5) Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
You see, he's actually quite a good learner I think, plus a lucky bugger to boot, so I have no prob in calling him fortunate also. If that is going to be contageous dunno - let's watch Izi :)
But eh, doesn't that simple fact make you wonder about HIS Lena? It does me, she sounds great for starters.
Can someone please explain how Viagra crept into this thread? Who's got a problem with a floppy? I hope I never have such problems I read about here, but then maybe I'm not the only one breaking cisterns so now and then ;-)
QC, You must live in a constant state of insecurity! Living life out of a van and fearing a close relationship might lead to rejection. If you never try you never get what you really want.
Age differences make for the spice of life, and we only have one life to live.
Grow up and set aside the juvinile goals.
"When I was a child I acted like a child, now I am a man and act like one!" These younger men you speak of with such fear are but puppies nipping at our heals.
Good advice so I am off to Arkansas and see if I can find a 13 year old. If it was good enough for Jerry Lee Lewis it is good enough for me. I guess that means she'll need a Barbie doll house and a bike. Damnit there is always a hole in every plan I cook up.
