Some finer points of DD's take
He mentioned going to no-where America and getting laid, I would say you had 3 major things working for you in that small town environment that would get just about anybody laid -
1) Your not from the area
Girls familiar with town hot shots and loosers will find you interesting just because your not a local.
2) You rolled up in a fancy car
This screams MONEY and even if says Autoland Leasing on the back frame so what, like they notice that tiny detail.
3) You have One and Two working for you, combine that with decent or better than decent looks and some game and you have it made in the shade.
If anybody in this position can't get laid more than once has SERIOUS issues... This even works in big cities because often time Big City women are jaded and fed up with the local men.
You don't get extra points for the Doctor you fucked in the empty OR because likely she was/is married, found 1,2 and 3 interesting enough to give you some.
Like I said if you can't bag even married women in this scenario, you suck...
But be that as it may -
I have grown up middle class with low expectations and don't really want much more than my parents have, but with better money management and more technology oriented than my parents I can get more out of less and still have the same lifestyle, once I figure out what I need to do to bring in that kind of income.
Driving a truck is similar to your life of living out of your carry on luggage. I wasn't as successful as I wanted to be with it and that's purely my fault. But I could have had a life of driving 21 days with 2 days off which would have morphed into 2-3 weeks paid vacation per year at $38k-$40 a year within 3 years.
I drove for a total of 1.3 years for two companies and it looks like I won't get a 3rd Strike, so I gave back my Class A when I had to re up for my license. I could have kept it, but what was the point? None of the top companies would hire me and I couldn't convince my father before he passed away (he promised to help me purchase a truck of my own) or my stepfather (who drove for the City of LA) to get off his rusty dusty and run cross-country with me for a few years as a Owner-Operator (where the REAL money is).
So I'm basically back to square one and back to earning near min. wage positions.
At this point I guess my lack of upper education is having an impact on everything, from the money I have, the cars I have, the place I live, even to the women I can (or feel I can) date.
I have come to the conclusion that finding the answer in "small town" America isn't worth the time and effort. Unlike you, your getting assigned to an area and don't have much control over that (Lemons? Make Lemonade). Your expenses are covered or refunded to you by your employer. I can overcome some of this with the internet but as I knew already the best women don't have to use the internet to date, they already have plenty of suitors they just have to pick and choose.
What you have online with women from America and Canada largely are women for whatever reason can't find a decent man locally. Weather its time management issues, career goals or social/mental issues, these are the runts of the litter. There are "Diamonds In The Rough": the cutie working at Wal-Mart with no drive or desire to achieve because there's no examples close to her to gain ideas from.
But those Diamonds are hard to mine and like with real Diamonds if they were easy to get, everybody would have one or two.
So at the end of the day, If I'm a looser but don't think I am I need to combat this uphill struggle the best way I know how. For men that are small thinkers this means downgrading your standards. For me, its taking on the additional risk and expense of foreign women.
A point that GT makes is very clear as well -
[quote]But if one did want a LTR, I think EE women have a lot to offer.
Maybe not the blonde bimbos you are talking about, but there are a lot of highly educated, cultured and caring EE women who would love to have a guy like me - and maybe even a guy like you.[/quote]
For every guy serious about going to say Russia to meet a woman, only about 10% of those guys actually follow through with it and that PALES in comparison with the 10's of thousands of women from Visa restricted countries (mostly in Eastern Europe, Middle East and Asia) that find their local mean uncultured, brutish, rude and unruly. Or the fact that in Ukraine and Russia and other FSU/CIS because of bad habits, wars and oppression the women out number the men. There just aren't enough desirable single males available. If Western men are willing to fly thousands of miles to meet them, they would have to consider that your serious about an LTR.
The women DD meets are the same women that date moguls, oil tycoons and mob figures in their home countries. Because they are the only ones that can afford to travel around, drive nice cars, big houses/luxo apartments/condos and go on shopping sprees.
He has ONE ace in the hole vs local men in that he's African-American which while hardly unique at home, a rarity in FSU or most of Asia.
Why should I fumble around at home and get judged on factors that have no bearing on how I would treat a woman but only where she might live or what car she might drive (if I bought it)?
On a site like Black Planet for example, I find -
1001 profiles from German women (90/10 White to Black/Mixed Women)
891 profiles form Great Britain (About 60/40 Black to White Women)
Those are the most popular countries outside of America. Even in EE I am positive with some effort I can find a girl 23-24 years old that's fairly stunning by my standards that would want to be my wife, have my children and provide for her family and really not much else and even Western Culture wouldn't change that mindset. Remember its mostly the failed relationships you hear and read about, not the successful ones.
I'm sure I can find the same in South America...
Point being for ThatGuy and DD who think people like me that just because I don't have crazy game with women or make bank I'm somewhat less of a man and don't deserve happiness, who are you to say I can't have what I want and be reasonable about it? Me dating and marrying a foreign women has no impact on your ability to do the same or opt for an North American woman instead.
Question for you, Thatguy865
[QUOTE=Thatguy865]Dj4Money,
Let me correct you on one thing. I don't feel that you are a loser. But I think. When dealing with women especially AW its all about attitude. If you approach them with confidence, and have a little conversation of interest. No matter what your financial situation is you can score, even with beautiful AW. Will you get every one you try to talk to. Of course not. Be have to be realistic, what do you bring to the relationship. You have to bring more than just a Dick, Beautiful Woman can get that any and everywhere for free. So if you're not going to bring money to the relationship, than you have to have personality.
I make a decent $, but I never used money as a means to meet women. I drive a car which is over 10 years old with dents in it. It runs like a dream. So I see no reason to buy a new one When you meet a woman its usually inside so they don'e see your car at first, and if after we meet and talk, if she see's my car and then doesn't want to be with me because my car is beneath her standards. My attitude is "get to steppin *****", I don't need you anyway.
I believe its in a womans nature to want to fix/help a man in the first place. So as long as a woman feels that you are looking to do better, most will stand by you, If you display self confidence, seem to have goals. And also some good "Dicking" goes a long way too.
I can't think of one time where a car got me laid. But I've had many a nights where after some conversation and a few drinks, it was off to her place or mine.
[/QUOTE]
I agree into a lot of your story!
Although I live in Europe, Euro-women behave the same way as AW (obviously)!!!
BUT...But, communication doesn't seems to be a strong side of lots of women! I try it with a neutral sense of humor, but somehow women do not tend to communicate well.
"But I like to chat a lot"...Yeah right, but how about opening your mouth on a date (and say somrthing smart)?!?
Or...Maybe I do not meet the right women???
How about USA, 865?
Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game
[QUOTE=DJ FourMoney]I didn't do that DD brought it up, blame him... To him everything is tied to money.

For the record: I think physical appearance, money, and especially wealth (because you grandpa earned it, not you) are shallow and imperfect indicators of success and happiness.
The girl that I love and think about every day is a Moldovan of average looks, no higher education, and is poor. She didn't care about big bucks or running off to America, only to find a decent person that would respect, love, and take care of her.
But I blew it big time and will likely have to go through my life without my soulmate because of my barbaric behaivor a few years ago.
A sad but likley true statement. Tough shit for me.
Each person should focus on finding a partner that is perfect for them and not focus on superfical shit.
JMHO
Where is the good energy?

My friend, stop living in the past. "Barbaric behaivor" ? I don't know what you did, but you're not in jail, which is my litmus test. Forgive yourself so one doesn't enjoy being the victim too long.
The "perfect" partner is the one that we chose to love. I'm trying to find at least one woman from every populated continent to love. So far, a former Latvian model, a Colombian revolutionary, and a former contestant in the Miss Liberian contest. I don't think I will have time to make it to Australia. I'm am not trying to compare myself to anyone, but to plead that we all live today and not in the past. Life is too short.
Only good energy!
