Women Who Tell You They Like To Travel Alot

[DJDamage]

What is the deal with those women? They seem to be the most difficult group. I dislike going on a dates with women who tell me stories right off the bat that they like travel alot as if they validate to me how adventurous and cultural they really are (in reality they go your typical tourist's traps location and it ends in a beach or a club). I also find these types of women to have egotistical personality and they act as if they deserve everything.

My belief is that women who say they travel alot is a womense for "I am high maintenance" Any thoughts??

Give me a woman who's been beyond her back yard over a homebody any day. They're adventurous, creative, confident and not bound by societal constraints. Just curious, what makes someone who travels high maintenance?

I am not saying that all who travel are high maintenance but it seems that there is a correlation between having the money and means to travel alot by planes and cruises and that of women who wants you to spend alot of money on them.

i like to travel however im really not high maintenance.
nothing can beat a road trip and the fun it can bring.
there are lots of ways to save money when you travel and it helps to do a little research before you plan a trip.

There are exceptions to the travelled alot rule, but I have to agree with you that I find it very off putting.

If they didn't travel for their job, then you can infer that they spent large amounts of time in a non remunerative pleasure seeking foray. The natural outcome of this is that they are short in the cash department (unless wealthy to begin with).

I used to find that the dumbest buzzards in the worst paying jobs would be the travel lovers. They would chip away in their low paid jobs dreaming of the pathetic 12 weeks they were saving up for. I always thought that if they applied themselves to a decent career they would be able to save faster and maybe go more frequently, perhaps not for such a long period.

Many are quite uneducated, tertiary studies would have spoilt their itinerary. They reminded me of the Buddhist saying " The fool can spend time with the wise man without becoming wise, just as the spoon never tastes the soup."

They can experience all kinds of different cultures and experiences, but if they don't have the intellectual equipment to process it, not much is gained.

Not necessarily. The most well traveled women that I know have all done some type of service work over seas. Teaching, building hospitals, helping farmers and general peace work in multiple counties. Very 'salt of the Earth' type women who would rather sleep in a tent under the stars than having a suite at the Plaza. I wouldn't be overly concerned what women do, I'd stay more in tune with what they believe.

I hear 'ya. A couple of my most memorable experiences have been with women who enjoy just hopping in the car for a road trip. Dusty back roads, chicken fried steak and apple pie at a truck stop, cheap $20 a night motels next to the local train yard or saloon; good times!

There is a whole backpacking subculture of young men and women who travel around the world to see the sights without going into debt.

The traveling isn't the red flag: the red flag is a woman whose self-worth is wrapped up in the amount of money spent, rather than seeing beautiful things or having wierd experiences.

Does she go diving in Australia, or shopping in Monaco?

I disagree with you on this one. Almost all women you meet will say that they like to travel, because they actually like to see places. That is what they are looking for in a guy. Somebody who is well traveled and who is not boring. Even if a guy is not boring, the fact that he hasn't traveled, or doesn't , will automatically put him in that category in the eyes of women.

They are not trying to validate themselves to you. In fact, the opposite is true, they will judge a man based on how adventurous and well traveled he is. Most men who want to gain rapport with her will automatically start validating themselves in order to ger her approval.

I've found there are 2 types who like to travel.

There are the women who like to really travel and see new places - and would do so with their girl friend, family or significant other

Then there are women who say they like to travel - but what they really mean is, they like to travel on a cruise ship - or stay at the Bellagio in Vegas - or fly to Paris - and with these women guess who's picking up to tab. Hint, it's not her.

When I meet these kind's of women - inquire about where they've gone and who with. Where they've stayed, what they've done. You'll find out a lot about her.

Those type of women who say they travel alot often spend their time in an expensive hotel somewhere near a beach resort.

You are right.

Solid advice.

Are you serious? Why don't you tell me the name of an expensive hotel or beach resort in the jungles of Ghana, the farmlands of Boliva or villiage in Jordan.

Look the chicks I am talking about (those that I went on dates with) Don't go to no jungles of Ghana, Bolivia or Jordan. They go to Paris, they go to Amstardam, New York and the Carribeans. Maybe I am meeting the wrong type of women. From my experience when a woman says she travel alot it is often not to some exotic out in the middle of no where location but rather to a very well known expensive tourist trap resorts and the thought of going in a tent or a hostel gross them out.

I think travelling is good for the soul...

However, girls who do it excessively beyond their means are just expecting a rich sap to marry them one day and pay off all their debts. That's why they could care less about being fiscally responsible and just carpe diem all day long.

I think I'm gonna go with DAMAGE on this one. A good 90% of women who pop off with the "I enjoy traveling" line generally have itineraries that read - Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Bermuda, Jamaica, Panama City, FL, Fort Lauderdale or South Beach. That aint travel in my book. I'm all for a well traveled woman mind you, and she doen't have to be a peace corp. volunteer, but if she rattles off more resort towns than cultural centers, I'd keep the chain on my wallet.

I like a woman that likes to travel (as long as it is not too extensive).

And I don’t mind if she traveled to Paris, Rome, London, etc. as long as she proves to me (via photos, etc.) that she visited their historical area or their art. I can appreciate that. Especially if most of that travel was done due to work. It shows that she has a cultural aspect of her. And even if she went shopping, that I view as okay (women shop after all) as long as it was paid by HER and not her ex-boyfriend or ex-husband. In another words, if she spent her money and in addition to shopping (something EVERY woman does), she also went and visit the historical sites.

Now, if she was into the clubbing, beach, etc. scene. Worst, if she goes traveling and get into the meeting men, etc., then I have zero respect for that woman. And then I have some serious questions about her character and her motivations. And then there is not doubt in my mind that with traveling she means “YOU take me to travel”.

Here is how I see things…if it requires a plane ticket then SHE pays her own. I don’t have a problem paying for the room IF our combined income is something like 65-35 ratio or greater. Food I can always pay. She pays for her clothes, etc.

I like a wordly woman, but all the "modern day" traveling women I know do it to get laid on vacation. This one gal I know said she went to Vegas and had "no plans" on sleeping with a guy -- that she slept with.

First off, she went with her friend who would sleep with anything that had a pulse. I guess her three-time divorced friend -- who left the AFC bf at home -- was sleeping with tons of guys on this Vegas trip. My so-called virtuous friend just bedded "only" one. Real classy.

Another gal I know loves to travel, push her on details a little more and it revolves around bedding guys.

When guys like to travel, the trip revolves around either sporting events, culture, or history, or seeing friends. When women travel (at least in my experience and the American women I know) it revolves around male approval and seeing how fast they can jump into bed with someone. And if they have a boyfriend at home and they're vacationing with the gals, the whole entire 100 percent agenda is to test the waters with another guy.

If American AFCs don't believe this, they're dreaming.

I agree with you.

I MIGHT give a break to those that travel with family (perhaps a sister or daughter or mother) member while leaving boyfriend/husband behind. And still...I would be a little concern about it.

 

[WestCoaster]

If it's a normal family member, I have no problems with it. If she's traveling with a sl-tty sister, the bf/hubby is in trouble.

American women are pretty transparent if one pays attention to the clues. I'm amazed how many guys get duped by things like travel. And when they "travel" they'll basically sleep with anything that has a pulse. The "travel" is usually about bedding someone, it's an excuse to get laid. If they just went out in their hometown and got laid, it would look trampy.

If they do it while traveling, they can excuse it like my friend did, "I had no idea that would happen," or, "It was a beautiful resort area, the surf was coming in, the candlelight dinner was romantic, everything was clicking with this guy" and so forth.

It's how you frame your story that throws people off. Nah, I'm not buying it, you wanted to get laid by someone else.
