im not trying to be a dick here but it sounds like youve dated a number of different women from a number of different cultures and it hasnt worked. Is it possible that it has something to do with you and not the women? Its not like its impossible many ppl get together and stay together so maybe its your tolerance level for these things. I dont have tolerance for the retarded relationship stuff but i know i dont and i know that one day if i want to be in a serious relationship i will have to deal with it.
It's cool. I have found a quality non-Western chick; some things are difficult (communication, cultural barriers, the fact that she is in Korea) but on the whole very trustworthy, uncorrupted by feminism/emancipation silliness, incredibly giving and kind, etc. At 30 I recognise the mistakes I made in the past; zero tolerance for nuttiness in the future; been there, done that. I think part of the problem has always been other requirements that I had that were essentially fulfilled (high level of education, multilingual, well travelled, etc.) but to the detriment of other positive qualities.
