I thought Oz was private... so yeah for the Americans here, they should trying to marry into one of those cultural groups. The other thing is dudes who go to the Philippines and want to retire early. They usually end up marrying some Filipina and then buying a house and staying long term. You have to like Asian women, the beach and early retirement though.
Not all of us were born in the land of the free and therefore we have to move abroad for the big $$$. I have much better access to China, the culture and the people from my marriage. Its a big deal there when you tell the average Chinese that you're married to the mob, more doors are open for you, especially in terms of the extended family. If you tell them you're single and looking to hookup, you've just opened yourself up to A TON of potential business as the guys with 'spare' daughters try and match you up. Marriage is the great uniter because once you're invested in the women, the people automatically assume you are an ally by default. I get better prices for everything, even healthcare as long as my wife is there. I can also go and hangout with other married guys [in Asia that's a different thing] and we are sort of looking out for one another's family, there is a camaraderie there that doesn't exist in North America. None of the guys over there are worried about their wives screwing around or impressing them or anything, so all of us have a ton of free time to concentrate on hobbies.
I've known and talked to the same guys for 10 years, they are all still married without problems and all have money in the bank, where b4 we were all broke. Chinese and money go together like peas and carrots. My one friend [who is an ugly split lip dude] used to work at Pizza Hut. He went over to teach ESL for a bit and ended up marrying a 30 y/o woman [gasp] who looked like a model. We were discussing about how to dump her when he got a call from her and left. A few days later he walked into a meeting, threw an iPad on the table and told us she had got him an apartment, filled it with groceries and magic cards. He ended up staying with her and found out that she was a heiress, her father owns a substantial part of Shenzhen. For his birthday he got several acres and houses in Venezuela and a set of magic cards. He had very little game but I did turn him onto the sosuave website, this was 10 years ago or so. She also put him through school when he came back to Canada and bought him a house and car in BC cause he was bored. Oh I forgot, he also owns a school now in China and hires teachers out of Pizza Hut.
There are also a few jobs where I would only trust my wife to watch my back. My wife and I are just finishing our PI licenses, so this is relevant.
