I know you heard some guys talking as you did mention in your original post.

Cite some examples to indicate if this is a recurring phenomena. I have been around 10 years and have not heard much about innocent girls getting duped. But I have heard plenty about naïve ex pats or even not so naïve ex pats getting fleeced.

It's just guys talking per what you have said so far.

 

I heard all the horror stories from the guy's POV before I was married. You know - all the scammer girls duping the naive tourists and expats.

But having been married a few years I hear lots of horror stories from my wife. They come in the same form; a posting on FB or some forum telling a tale of woe from a girl whose BF/wanabee BF/fiance/husband has done her wrong. While some stories sound like nonsense, many sound legit.

I suspect there are plenty of good and bad stories coming from both genders.

Yeah but the problem is . .  you still think that you are a 'younger guy'  when in fact:

You are not far behind us retired folk. Those next 10 years will go fast and when you get to the point I am at you will fully understand my assertion.  What point is that?

Caution:  Maybe  so feel free to skip next paragraph.

There is an old saying about the difference between worry and anxiety.  Worry is the first time you cannot finish a second time and anxiety is the second time you cannot finish a first time.  At that point your gf will love you long time. 

Long post for such an inaccurate premise, Dave.  I clearly stated that I had neither youth on my side nor the amazing pleasuring techniques that only retirement age men can possess.  In essence, I really have nothing going for me, at age 47...lol.  Yes, I'm being facetious.  :)

Me too, which is why that was the only explanation I can offer as to why a beautiful 21 year old loves me wrinkly, broke, grumpy old ass.  I was only trying to rebut the inaccurate premise that young girls like old guys for the money as many of us have not got any.

Similar discussions have been had on this forum many times. Whatever the general consensus is, it will keep on happening for various reasons. I doubt anything we put forward will change those people's views and vice versa. There is neither right or wrong. There are good outcomes and there are bad ones.
