BFE´s and a reality check
Agree with the BFE comments, you get what you give, and I have friendships with long time WG´s that are very enjoyable. The problem is the shell.
EVERYONE goes to DXB for money, this is clear, and if you are not in a position to offer them marriage (dubious prospect in and of itself) then "true love" could never really blossom.
I refer to the handful who are willling to make the most of what you CAN have.
I maintain that grabbing them early is essential. Everyone deludes themselves to a certain extent, no harm done providing that you are upfront with your situation and intentions. Some wg´s have grown their shell after having been strung along and given false hopes about where the relationship was going.
Hanging is too good for those guys.
It is not hard to manipulate (or be manipulated) but it is not very nice.
