Wife-hunting for import for Cuero99 a non-starter
Although a few could be different, based on my experiences I've learned never to trust in the concept of any of these better-looking south american girls being faithful or honest. During my numerous stays in Colombia and Peru I've been with too many innocent seeming girls "committed to" unknowing boyfriends local or foreign who banged me for money (while incidentally usually seemed to enjoy the act as much as I did and were happy to repeat, and text me the "cuando vienes" when I am far away).
Emotionally like DJ4M I love the idea of having a faithful and lovely life companion by my side. But add to the above the reality of the ongoing decline in the value of the dollar and its likely eventual complete collapse, and the result is, even if I happened to fall in love with a lovely Colombiana or Peruana that I really trusted, I consider the idea of me importing her to be my wife with the idea that I can offer her a better life in the US long-term than what she has a total non-starter and bad bad idea, even as a very experienced technology worker taking home an income in the top 10% of the current US salary range.
Is This Really a Bad Thing?
As more women enter the workforce the less likely women will choose a partner based on his ability to provide. If women see themselves as "breadwinners" (or potential "breadwinners"), the more likely they will choose partners based on the same criteria that men choose their mates, looks and sexual aptitude.
If men are being viewed by women more and more as sex objects, then men may be better served by spending more time at the gym and less time working.
