I am 34, and the window of opportunity for marriage/family is beginning to close a bit.

I have dreamed of raising a family for most of my life (wierd, i know, for a guy, but its true). However, i fear that the only way i can meet a true MATE, and not a predator, is to move out of the country, to where women are happier and less hungry for money/power. Im thinking Sweden, or possibly Norway. Maybe there I can find a woman who will not HATE me for my penis, nor resent any ‘non-manly’ qualities i have.

With ONE exception, all of my friends who have happy marriages have married outside of the US. The fruits of Mexico, Sweden, Canada, Germany, France and Spain all seem to be far sweeter than the bitter home-grown crops . (and by that i am not so childish as to mean ‘more attractive’. in many cases they are rather plain. But they are ADULTS, and love their man the way the do themselves, and would rather insult themselves than someone they love. That is Loyalty, and that Is what is needed in a relationship between two equals)

Im sorry. I can’t get married here, knowing that as soon as i stop making money, a woman will leave me. Thats not marriage, to me, but a sort of domestic prostitution.
