okay, my first wife lived a very long distance from me (15 minutes at high speed) and we had a few issues about this. She was Pomme through and not so through. I did not live "on the same street." Something you might understand of Pomme culture. My family had 4 cars on the road, a swimming pool (was the height of luxury way back then) and Mum didn't work. Her parents had the 1 car, both parents worked, and they had no swimming pool.
Local pubs??? I live in an area that has no pubs but does have 5 liqour outlets. I have 2 licensed venues within 5 kms. And both are very close to those limts.
It also comes down to the "equality" bit. I own my home. I have enough to survive. Am I willing to hook up with someone who lives mega-distance and has nothing?
Recently I learnt of someone who had made the "life change." She had relocated and shared the life with him. He passed away soon after and it turns out that the "family home" was mortgaged to the hilt. Actually, just rented because of the "mega deal" he had made without telling her.
I moved well away from all of my family many years ago to be with the "love of my life." It did not work out so well for me. Except my daughter did manage a similar move a few years later. So I do have one positive from that.
But I am not willing to distance myself again to sacrifice the family I have now.

So where's the top of the universe?? Maybe we are at the top of the world!of the world.

Hop on a plane, and you will find out.I would travel to the ends of the earth for the right gal, the only thing is she would have to come back and live with me in Oz as I am fairly comfortable here.
I don't mind if she has nothing before we meet, but will make sure she isn't a gold digger before we tied the knot though.

That made me chuckle but I'm hearing you gold
I do think there has to be some give and take though, to make it work

Well, I started locally, then after discovering that the locals were, um, "up themselves" and distinctly out of touch with how to treat a man.... no offense to any of the lovely ladies I have met on this site, I'm talking about off-site ladies in my local vicinity here.....
I began dating a Russian girl, then I made friends (male and female) in Europe, Vietnam, Cambodia, New Zealand, Phillipines, Malaysia, and China.
I used to be very bigoted towards international relationships. Then one day, I discovered (to my shame) just how wrong I was, and just how accepting, forgiving, caring are these ladies in other cultures.
For the first time in my living memory, I actually received genuine care from women, and a genuine love that was not conditional on my turning myself inside out, as I almost had to with my ex-wife (and who was still never satisfied).
Was I always in the right in my previous marriage? No. Am I so now? No. But now I am accepted, loved, and treated with dignity.
Wow, I didn't know what this felt like until I met my fiancee. Is she perfect? Far from it. She is raw, and what-you-see-is-what-you-get.
Is she always right? No. But at least she admits it, and we get on.
I don't ever regret seeking relationships (friendships and other) overseas.
Yes, it has be tough getting through political barriers, immigration, the LDR thing. But it is worth it all.
I am learning that a relationship is more attitudinal than anything else. Yes something has to start the fire, but we can choose to allow that fire to be extinguished or not.
I would go for an International relationship again any day. Again it is what we value most that will motivate us. If we value money, possessions, selfishness more than a relationship; well then we will choose these things.
If we value relationships more than money, possessions, selfishness; then we will choose these.
There is nothing wrong with anyone's decision. It is each ours to choose, and it is only us who must live with the consequences of our choices.
For me, I travelled thousands of kilometres, I ventured into a city where I was the only "Que Ball". I ventured into a place where nobody spoke my language. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. Yes, for me it is well worth it, and the costs that come with what I have chosen to do.
@ Halvo ..
Your words often resonate with me, as they most likely do with others
The ironic nature of this site is that most of us joined as we weren't having any success in our local area, but those we tend to find common ground with are quite often on foreign soil (pun intended )
So, like you said, there will be stumbling blocks and perceived barriers in our way, but love, respect, shared desires and goals can conquer those, as you and your lovely lady have proven

Yeah, I understood what you said: You asked where is the topof the Universe? To answer you, It is when you point your finger
at the stars and take in the heavenly glory, how's that?

I do not see a point in travelling any more to meet a ChicK ... I have done it a few times, to no real avail ...
... I have started going to the pub, well the casino to be more accurate, though meeting woman is not the first thought on my mind .. Company is what I seek, and its easy to get when I am out and about ... So serene, locals only for me my dear ... human touch and interaction there and then over being on line endlessly ....
