Turning into a passport bro

[redoptics2013]

This has probably come up before, but just wanted to share my experience. 

So I have been widowed for four years now again through and still going through the loss of my wife I decided to start looking to potentially get married again, so I signed up to shadi, asaind8, asainsinglesolution and seeking.

I'm not the the tallest guy in the world just below 5"7, but athletic, average looking, have a good job etc , but blimey the boxes you have to tick for even getting someone to talk to you is absurd even if the lass is in her 40s and has kids.

They all want a fair skinned, non turban, 6 foot who earns over 100k when did we turn into kalay, I have been watching Kevin Samuel and all the stuff he says about women thinking they are going to get Prince charming and will go from piller to bed post to attain is spot on.

Ohh well hop aboard the passport bro train, I've met a Colombian women who is amazing and she looks like a apni.

If you are open to girls from the developing world, why not just consider a girl from India?

 

Anyway, I agree with you about the ridiculous standards people have in online dating. However, you should have just put down that you are 5'10':

- 90% of other guys exaggerate their height, so it's still relatively accurate

- All the stupid 5'0" girls who demand a tall guy would not be able to notice the difference anyway

Because they are the same as UK girls, they have been bamboozled with Bollywood

Wouldn't the Columbian lady become a UK girl when she moves? I hear a lot of that happening where a woman who was traditional back home becomes less traditional in the new country.

That might be the case, but they have not been indoctrinated from birth, if they change it will be slightly and due to acclimatising to their new surroundings.

Everything I said in my 1st post also applies to Indian ladies in Punjab.

I find this a bit hard to believe.

- I concede that they prefer men who are not Singhs

- I concede that they prefer fair skinned. But most Punjabis who sellf-identify as fair skinned are delusional and not very fair skinned. Unless you are abnormally dark, I doubt this is an issue.

- Sure, they want a guy who is well off. But by virtue of living in the west, you are already very well off from the perspective of a Punjabi girl, even if you don’t make anything close to 6 figures.

- Sure, they want tall men. But have you seen how short Punjabis are on average? And have you seen how prone they are to exaggerating their heights? Just say you are 5’10” or 6’0” or whatever. It won’t matter, since you are certainly taller than their midget celebrities.

Veer Ji, please be careful about this Colombian woman. I know we all want to believe it when someone suggests they take a liking to us. But she is surely primarily (if not entirely) interested in you because you live in a more prosperous country. It hurts to admit it, but that is almost surely the case.

What are you specifically looking for for future wife? Faith looks, age, height, job?
