| Would you seek out your soulmate in America?
Posted: 5/16/2007 7:51:31 PM | How many UK/Irish men have given thought to seeking their soulmate in America?
Does your idea of romance allow you, personally, to think "outside the box" for compatibility, despite the travel and the miles?
What would you be looking for in her profile that would attract you to meeting her?
Thank you in advance for your comments.
This is also for women

Posted: 5/16/2007 8:05:15 PM | | You never know where you will find true love, if that is really what you are looking for. I am a typical american. I am part American Indian, part Irish and part Dutch. I do not get angered easily, but you really don't want me mad at you. I have a great sense of humor, am very loving, trustworthy, support myself and love animals as well as the great outdoors. | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 1:07:05 AM | Getting hitched and moving over there is burning your bridges boat and blooming bank balance!!
I have spoken to people abroad, one in particular in the middle of nowhere in Poland I think it was, and I found it is so easy to fall in love with an illusion, but when relatively local at least you can go and check it out. I could well imagine my luck to get talking, get phoning, get over there to meet and the picture is 50 years out of date, and they have lied about all the important things, or the chemistry is nonexistant, what do you do? Dive out the bog window and hitch a taxi back to England?
I would love to fall in love again and be a part of a couple, and the prospect of living somewhere warm, Bring it on!!! but perhaps I lack that adventurousness that's needed! | |

I tried long distance relationships and found it not to work out personally. But that distance is taking the piss lol. You would obviously have to move there to be with them once you had found them.
If I had the money and ability to travel that far then I wouldn't mind looking for a woman in Ameirca, after al l I think the way those American women speak sounds so sexy.  | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 5:05:32 AM | Arse potatoes said: "No, I wouldn't entertain any females from the states as it took me a while to get rid of 4 that would ring me at all hours of the day 2 of which had actually flown to the UK for holidays thinking I would put them up????....Yeah right."
I have to say arse, that was a bit naive of you to give out your phone number to strangers. I have a male friend who adores chatting to women on the other side of the atlantic, his sole reason for doing it is to see them naked ( he says they are most obliging). when he erm.....is having cyber/cam chats with them. It seems they will do almost anything to make the man in their life happy. Oh yes he has had a lot of fabulously drunken and erotic nights indoors, whilst his girlfriend was asleep upstairs and out for the count.
I do recall though that he did encounter a young woman who he fell for a little bit, he was funny when he would tell me how he couldn't get her out of his mind but she was 10 years younger than him and her father became a bit annoyed when he ended up having to pay a $1,000 phone bill so that put paid to that particular 'friendship'. Besides he was never going to leave his girlfriend anyway.
I used to speak to a man from Alberta, but only when I was drunk or had an E and hadn't pulled and couldn't sleep. He was a gun-toting motel manager who's hobbies included flying airplanes and smoking weed. I was so surprised when he told me he couldn't live without me in his life. Just as well I deleted my Yahoo account and we lost contact somehow. He was interesting all the same. | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 6:17:23 AM | First of all let me make it clear that this is not an attack on anyone. I only wish to comment on what I think I am observing here.
Speaking for myself, an American by birth but a human nonetheless, I would move to be with the one I loved. I am not foolish enough to think I am in love with someone I have never met. I agree that it is an illusion. You don’t know the chemistry until you meet in person. Given the proper time together in the flesh you can get to know someone. Isn’t there a saying that says when you meet “the one” you just know? I wouldn’t move for a “maybe” unless the place I moved to was where I wanted to go in the first place.
My question to a*** potatoes is couldn’t you have asked to see them on cam to make sure the pics were not out of date? Not that it really mattered anyway since you weren’t really interested to begin with.
To jezebel, not all American women will do “almost anything”, as you put it to, to make the man in their life happy. We are not all “most obliging” to get naked on cam either. That is a generalization and could be applied to anyone in any country. Believe me, I have my limits when it comes to my relationships and love.
People are people all over this world. There is desperation all over as well as a need to be loved. Sure, cultures are different but we all still have the same basic needs and desires for the most part.
I think a lot of the issue here is a dislike for Americans. To be honest I can’t say that I blame you. As I said, I was born here but I consider the whole world my home. This just happens to be where I live at the moment. It drives me crazy that a few idiots have made my whole country look bad and it seems the rest of the world hates us. I can totally understand that, but I really wish that others would remember that we are not all like that.
Sorry about all of that. I come to the UK forums because I like the topics, and because it is my way of learning about the people. I am planning on going there next year to see a friend so the more I know the better. If I have offended anyone I apologize, that was not my intention. | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 6:25:58 AM | interesting thread.
I myself went to latin america because of an affection i had for a certain lovely puerto rican, when i was with her in the flesh it was incredible and it felt like love at first sight, almost like a fairytale, we planned on spending ourr lives together and spent the next year and a half with her visiting me and me visiting her etc.. (i was back and fore the caribbean more often than some ppl had been in their entire lives), but then the language barrier and culture differences were too much in the end, and the distance, whilst she was finishing her degree in uni, it was all too much and it finished us off.
Sad really, I did love that girl but it just couldnt work. | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 6:31:35 AM | You haven't offended me in the least athene4, I had no idea you were American. I wasn't referring, in my post, to all American women, I included Canadian women also as they live on the other side of the atlantic too. I only reported what I have heard from male friend's experiences of chatting to North American women online. Let's not forget I do not speak of ALL North American women, just the ladies who chat online with the specific intention of....well you know.
I don't really have anything further to add, except to say I do not hate Americans at all and never have. I like them in the main, the ones I have met, they can be gullible and sweet, ask silly questions and make me laugh. And quite a few do get irony so you are not all bad. | |

Posted: 5/18/2007 6:01:09 AM | | Why is the question of overseas dating being focussed on only the USA in the thread, have the Phillipines, Thailand and Russia been forgotten (as they're the most popular foreign dating locations for UK men!) in this scenario? | |

^^^^^Tits out for the lads love......
Not likely babe… 
Why is the question of overseas dating being focussed on only the USA
If you look at the OP’s profile she is only looking for men in the UK, so I would assume that is why it was focused this way. | |

There are certain nationalities that I get one with. One is Americans.
My friends call them "septic tanks" (Yanks), but I love them.
They are just a blast.
But I'm not typically English.
I don't like watching football. I like playing it.
I like drinking beer, not getting drunk.
I actually like going to the theatre.
But I lived abroad for 5 years and have had a lot of friends of various different nationalities.
Right now, I know a Canadian who is an absolute blast. His stories are legends.
Plus, I love to talk about my emotions and feed off warmth. Most English are too cold for that. But I blame that on the fact that my dad was Moroccan. But my sister lived there for 5 years and she said that American women love to talk about their feelings.
I'm a nomad, anyway. I'm here because I'm here. Don't know about tomorrow. If I'm still here, you know because I haven't told you that I'm somewhere else.
So one place is as good as another. It's the people that counts.
So I'm up for it. It's all good. | |

If I had the money I would move to America (depending what part though!) but that is as likely to happen as me meeting someone from there in the first place, zilch! I can't even get a date closer to home and even if I did it is about having the money to take them out so conversing with someone across the pond and seeing them as much as I can would be impossible really! As for the type of lady form USA well I would, if I was looking, look for the personality, nice eyes and lips, like I look for in most women but I live in dream land! | |

Posted: 9/15/2009 1:48:05 AM | Ooh! I had one of these American soulmate girlfriend thingy's!
She was really, really nice. Very well mannered i found. Big knockers as well (her manners were better than mine obviously)
Went to visit her half a dozen times. We even began to cook up plans for me to emigrate
But i think i'd miss blighty too much and she had some problems involving her ex which really threw a spanner in the works....
Would i seek another one out............hmmmmmmm probably not, but if one just sort of happened along while i was minding my own business, then i wouldnt say no just because she was a Yank.......
I prefer them from the home nations to be honest though. The pillow talk is much more erotic with UK chicks. Every time she (The American) talked dirty to me, i felt like i was on the set of some cheap porn flick......Actually, now i've just typed that out, feeling like i'm on the set of a cheap porn flick seems quite erotic......I wonder what she's up to these days | |

Posted: 9/15/2009 2:17:11 AM | I wouldn't actively seek a soulmate in America simply because its completely impractical, but would of course be open to the possibility of it happening just as I would with someone from any other country.
I guess what you're really asking is what do we think of Americans though....
personally I find that aside from speaking the same language we are very different and have much more in common with other Europeans than Americans. But I think any dislike of Americans is based on the actions of your government not the American people which I have always found to be very likeable. Hopefully now you have someone with a brain in charge, peoples opinions of Americans will change ;-) | |

Posted: 9/15/2009 2:23:51 AM | | Interesting ... as I actually did that ... I ended up staying for around 2 yrs after flying out for 3 weekend dates; wonderful women ... but that is not enough. The experiences taught me allot about how I don’t want to live my life; I found the mentality to be more overbearing than the humid weather at times. Part of me made the choice to look over the ocean (any ocean for that matter) because I could, secondly because I found the people to be much more inviting and friendlier than the majority of women in the UK, thirdly I had nothing to lose. Would I advise it? Yes if you’re prepared financially and mentally. No if you’re stuck in your ways about meeting someone within a 10 mile radius is the only way to be. The be all and end all of any relationship, for me personally ... is not just about the person, you still have to exist as an individual within a community; and that makes us (as individuals) intolerant of many things. | |

Posted: 9/15/2009 2:30:55 AM | I agree with Message 7 !
I still want to live close to my daughter and my friends (and meet someone who has a 'life' where they currently reside) so it's still a big fat NO for me. | |

Posted: 9/15/2009 2:39:54 AM | For me there are two big problems with seeking my soul mate in America. Firstly he may be an American and secondly I believe quite a lot of the people in America are also Americans. Case closed for me Im afraid.  | |

Posted: 9/15/2009 2:47:07 AM | Never say never, I probably wouldn't do it now, my kids are far too young for such big risks, but maybe in the future once they're all grown up and don't need their Mummy anymore
Having said that, you never know who you might end up making a connection with, as the old saying goes, you can't help who you fall in love with | |
