The US (and I think English-speaking West) is insanely divisive. If you don't choose a side, you are deemed even worse than the enemy. If you differ in even one small opinion, you are vilified. I got so tired of the constant fighting and conflict over every single thing. The only way to avoid it is to isolate yourself at home, and in the city that isn't possible either. Also didn't like the increasingly bad treatment of men by the legal system, culture, media and government. That led to me leaving long term, with the intent of staying away permanently. Life in the East is much more peaceful and yes, I found a wonderful woman there who I married. I never hear the words "patriarchy," "toxic masculinity," "oppression" etc. Nobody knows who Biden and Trump are and nobody cares. It is wonderful.

@jackcarpenters3759 I considered Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Philippines. I chose Philippines because: 1) English is spoken there, 2) It had the most friendly visa requirements for Westerners, 3) more availability of options for US veterans, 4) affordability, and 5) more openness to dating foreigners. Yes, there are elements of some of these in all the other countries, and even lower cost of living in some other places ... but the combination of all these worked best for me. You have to do what is best for your criteria. Some men I know went with South or Central America. I highly recommend spending some time in the country you are considering, before making the decision.

@jessicasmith5728 I wish you the best of luck and much success. I think you are the first American woman I’ve ever heard say this. From what I have seen in the East, I think you will find plenty of interested Asian men.

@live.life.on.purpose Ah yes. Usually narcissists themselves calling others narcs. Yes, adapting to learn new skills is critical. Even more so today than ever before. Multiple income streams, if possible. Try not to be tied to one country ... if possible.

@MarinaLaroche Well stated. While I utterly despise feminism, I don't apply that label to every woman ... I apply it to the actions of women who display the traits.
