I stand by my previous statements.
There is no such thing as ready-made "internet love", anyone who claims to be in love with someone they have not met in real life yet is only fantasizing and setting themselves up for failure and dissapointment.
The 'hormone chemistry' you refer to can only be felt and enjoyed once we meet in person.
Nothing can replace the reality of hand to hand contact.
Although I agree with you that the e-mails and phone calls are fundamental tools to evaluate the potential any person may present for future relationships.
Last year I made contact with an old school friend through the internet and a crush for each other we once had but was unknown at the time soon blossomed two decades later that resulted in us both deciding to have a child. I thought it was "love" at the time but with hindsight it was "lust" as she was a cr*zy b*&ch as an adult. The internet offers a new medium through which "love" can be found sometimes different from conventional dating and I have to say that I do believe it exists. If anything it's probably a better way to get to know someone than just jump into bed with them because you fancy them.
Ive had ALOT of experience with internet meeting, just not internationally. I find this way of meeting girls so much more interesting than conventional means. Call me different, I don't care, because I am. Ive flown girls in from New York, Wisconsin, Wash. State, Oklahoma, Georgia, Arizona and California. And that dosen't count the places I have flown to in order to meet some others. This way of meeting women is very very interesting. I haven't had one bad meeting yet, some relationships lasted the weekend, others months and one lasted 3 years. Many of these girls I still talk to and good friendships have started for me this way. So, believe what you will, but feelings can and do start this way. Just dont believe you can love someone without meeting them face to face first. Ive had feelings for certain girls that built up so much through correspondence that once we finally met we nearly couldnt wait to exit the car, or to leave the airport for that matter to rip eachothers clothes off.
But to find the one to share the rest of my life with.. that is my mission, and I hope the one I am going to see soon is the one for me. She outshines all the others I have met virtually or conventionally here where I live. Enough so that I am willing to travel 4ooo miles to be in her arms. I really dont need a harem, I know what I want and shes waiting for me patiently right now
Tim - you were away when this thread was being drawn out. I am courious about your take on this matter of FSU women's ages and the potential for being good mates to us western guys.
"She positively gushes about the prospects of making it with a 25 to 35 year woman."
Agree totally with this part mate, this age group has always been my "target" age group and I knew lots of this information already :o))
My Natash is 26 almost 27, so again in the right age group.
Your example of Florina and her husband John is another prime example of common sense, she is in her 40`s he is from your description in his 50`s with just 10 years between them. I personally think that anything over 15 years is a definite request for trouble !! I haven't mentioned this before as I respect Jet very much and I know his too darlings are both 23, but I have had concerns about this already, and he already knows because I have spoken to him in email about it privately, but now very sadly he is reaping the unfortunate results of such young and immature women. No-one here can feel as bad for him as I do, so I can say what I have said and not feel that he will be insulted. If a man thinks he can woo, and captivate a woman so many years younger than him, and then keep her, he must either be very very rich, or an exception to the rule.
Whilst FSU women see the slightly older man as a good catch, the much older man is not so often regarded as such only as a meal ticket, or visa ticket towards an early divorce once she has what she wanted from it. And in keeping with the book that Ens speaks about, under 25 can be a real minefield !!!
Man:
Many UK women seek younger men too mate, its not that new news really !!!
Let these hags have the younger men, and we will go and get our younger women, I know which of the two groups is likely to have long term happiness :o)) And it isn't the Older woman seeking younger men :o))
Rina:
My lady was married to the same man for 7 years, until he dumped her for a younger girl !! He hurt her very very badly. I know she can be a good wife because she has already been one, and has only been separated and divorced from him for about 8 months. Thankfully they didnt have children, but both she and I want them, and if there is any health reason why she hasnt had any yet, then it can be dealt with one way or another :o) I have no concerns that my 27 year old lady will not be a good wife.
