International Relationships: good or dangerous?

My main concern would be that you wouldn't truly know if it was for love or citizenship (it sounds horrible and rude I know, but honestly - its reality at its finest).

One of my good friends was a marine - and the one thing I recall him telling me is that foreign women flock to American men. Many actually wait for the boats to dock and they approach the men as they get off.

It works both ways. Women or Men, if you're American, I don't think its impossible to find love internationally, I simply believe that it would be a relationship that would definitely require a great deal of time to build as you would really have to be able to decipher fact and fiction. - Does she love you for you and who you are, or does she love you for a temporary passport and an eventual citizenship?

Just be careful, and keep your wits about you. :o)

I am sorry that you haven't been able to find "the one" maybe you need to take a trip some where and you just might stumble across the most perfect one! I don't think that going to Asia or International because most people are just looking for an easy way into the United States! Even if that is using you to get in and they say bye bye! Just keep your head high and keep looking! What you are looking for might be right in front of you and you may not even be noticing it! Hope this helps!

Hey, keep your chin up. My dating life has been in a dry spell too. But I am not going to go to a bar and pick up any random guy so that I can fill that void in my life. I know that this won't solve my true search for the right guy.
Gotta say, the type of girl you are looking for will not be found in one of the situations where she is looking for your company as a refuge from her current situation. Hell, some girls will pay you $5,000 to marry them and bring them to our Land of Opportunity.
So let's say you did and if you are lucky, you will get some hot sex from her. She will not love you the way you want to be loved and she will always just see you as her free ticket to a better life, not a lover or gentleman she respects. She may also look down on you for being "desperate" to look outward and laugh at you behind your back.
That's not to say that there are some honest women in 3rd world countries that are awesome and may fall in love with you, but think about this - America has more women in common with you than these other countries (culturally), so don't you think your odds of a real, beautiful, partner are better here? On top of that, you will always be second thinking her intentions when she meets another, more established American man who can provide an even better life for her.
But don't hate these sweet, charming women, it is not their fault if they deceive you. Remember that these women grew up impoverished, they only have their sexuality to move up in life and that's what they have accepted. Some parents will give up their daughters for opportunity. So "buyer beware".
Also, I am ashamed of my fellow American men that buy into this. It further propels the thought to women all over our world that we are seen as property. It reminds me how lucky I am to be born in this country and what this country has provided me from years of bloodshed and tears.
Best of luck to you in your romantic endeavors! :)

I know a lot of people who went to Asia and married women especially paid marriage. From what I heard, the men did actually want to stay married to these women but as soon as 4-6 months came about, the ladies found a reason the leave the man and without any hesitation, filed the divorce.

No doubt that the women from other countries will be very interested in you. Especially if your from the US and ya got cash. My father goes in and out of asia and the US and every time he goes there, he's got a different chick. Recently he's been talking to a girl that he considers to be his girlfriend from Asia and whenever there talking on the phone, all I hear is MONEY MONEY MONEY, send me this, send me that. It makes me upset cause I know she's a golddigger and she's good at manipulating him. (Oh yes! They can barely speak much english but these women are smart! ) I tell'm that she's playin him for what he's got.

But my dad continues to see/talk to her, of course because she's beautiful and sleeps with him. He told me that she's been wanting him to marry her and bring her here to the US. Soo basically, many internatinal girls will do whatever it takes to please you, they don't care who you are, how old you are, or how you look like. Now I'm not saying that ALL of the women are like this but the majority of average class women are. I think that if you decide to do this, you should put more time in getting to know the girl and seeing what the chick is really made of before you bring her over cause these girls can be very scandalous.

I found your question very similar to me, but instead I'm a guy from Asia who like US/UK woman, I used to live in UK for about 8years fews years back and I just find US/UK woman more attractive then Asian woman, maybe because I have UK life style in my blood now. I'm a guy who would give up everything to just fly over to somewhere else to find love, I believe love is the only thing you will regret in life if you miss the chance, everything else you can start from bottom(new job, new school, new friends), you might say you can start a relationship with someone else too but it wouldn't be the same woman you first fall for. I'm more interested in if a guy from Asia finding a woman in US works?.

I know everyone its on the no side but in my opinion as long as you and the Asian woman are well known, then its better to try and see what happens then later in life when you look back you regret you missed the chance, maybe I read too much love story lol Good luck~

Well as a guy that has went half way across the world to meet my special someone in Australia one time, it can work but take it with a grain of salt I might say, it depends on the situation, my story she was unhappy in her marriage and felt she married too soon , we talked and emailed for 6 months before meeting, she moved into a house and separated from her husband and I came, she was everything I would have loved for a wife, she ended up giving her husband a second chance, and actually met her husband and family when I was there I only stayed over there a month but it was a trip I will always remember , if at the very least just think of it as a nice vacation if you do pursue going to find that int'l lady. And even by law she can't divorce you right away, I'm not sure the exact law but it requires anyone from another country to be married for a few years before they can have full citizenship, hope this helps
