I read most of the blog posts and enjoy doing so as it gives a variety of different viewpoints about this site and what others are thinking.
Being older at 64, I want to say that the age issue is not something that bothers me a lot. I receive letters from ladies of all ages and read all of them. Some I delete after reading if it seems like she may not be the woman I am looking to share life and love with. Usually I will check out a woman's profile and then decide if, after reading her letter, I am interested. The main thing that will pique my interest is her level of English. I have issues with ladies who say they know basic language skills but when I converse with them, I find they know some English words but are unable to correspond with you in English. I want to be able to share contact info with the woman who interests me but I have found that many ladies here are not really willing to do that because of language skills or lack of internet access. Ladies this is some friendly advice. If you find a man who interests you and you want to take your relationship to the next step, you will need to share your contact info. In order for you to come to Canada or the United States and other countries, you will need to know how to carry a simple conversation. You will need to be able to ask for help with directions and ask for other minor things so you can find your way. Also in order to come to these countries, it is very helpful if you know where you are heading to and have an address where authorities can find and contact you.
I have been on here for the better part of 5 years now with several breaks because of financial issues and have written to many ladies. I receive letters from ladies I have never contacted and continue to do so daily. I realize that there are many who want to move to another country but it is not easy. It is very expensive for us men to answer every letter he receives and so we will only stay in contact with ladies who interest them. I do wish I could answer more but it is impossible. I have found the woman I want to spend my life with and do answer her messages as often as possible but sometimes I do run out of credits and cannot afford more.
I am not afraid of women with children and I am also not afraid of hard work. A lasting and strong relationship takes work and it must come from both sides. It is a daily thing and must be tended to like a garden. If you fail to water your flowers, your garden will wilt and die, as will your love.
Moving to another country is never going to be easy for anyone. As for the most part you ladies are wanting to move away from your homeland so it will be essential for you to visit your man in his home country and city. You will need to see how he lives and what he does, how his city is and how you can help make his life and those around him better.
As I said before I am 64 and I do have a child. He is almost 13 and is my life. I share custody with his mother and he usually spends time with me every day. I am friendly with his mother for his sake and feel that he should not suffer because we could not live together.
I also moved back with my late wife and took care of her for almost 5 years before she passed away. We had separated and divorced but when she needed help as her health got worse I decided that I would help her. I believe in helping those in need and she needed me despite the fact we had divorced. Sometimes we all make mistakes and it takes a bigger person to step up and help when needed after something like this happens.
I want to say thanks to all the ladies that write me and say that if I do not always answer you it is because I do not have credits and cannot afford them at this time. When you live on a pension and have limited resources it is hard.
Good luck to all and God bless each and every one of you.
