Q - Dear Annabelle,
I have noticed many ads from Latina women in Mexico as well as many South American countries looking for men. Many, if not most of these women are in their early twenties, yet they claim to be looking for men up to, or even in, their 50's, (such as myself). While I am athletic, passionate, educated and, FWIW, look some ten years younger, still, I wonder about responding to these ads.
I'm active in my work, enjoy it, travel frequently and this has been difficult in establishing any permanent relationship. Also, I wonder if I have anything, save money, that would be of interest to a younger woman. What are your thoughts and/or suggestions to what I have written.
A - Dear Jeff,
While I do not know you, or know anything about you, I would bet that you have American citizenship, a decent income and a nice place to live. If you are also a decent, hardworking, kind, loving and generous, (with money as well as emotionally), person, then you would be a highly desirable commodity on most of the world marriage markets.
It may sound crass, but for most people in other countries, especially for women, for whom good prospects are slim in their own countries, an American male, of whatever pedigree is often better for their future and the future of their children than the situation into which they have been born. Itās often no more complicated than that.
Too, male life expectancy in many of the South American countries, especially in rural areas is not high and so, by being willing to match up with a Īman in his 50āsā, a woman, (not realizing that in health-conscious America where living into oneās 90ās and beyond is not unheard of), may think that her bargain may not need last for a long time. Now, it could be that, in your situation, this kind of thing would work out well all around, and that the cultural differences would not be a barrier. You may, in fact, relish being a Īwhite knightā of sorts. Just be aware of what the equation may actually be.
- Annabelle
