Why think of RWD at a time like this?
« on: August 18, 2014, 08:05:26 AM »
I remember ...

There was a time I held onto the posts and interaction from the people on this site as a lifeline - a sneak peak into a world I craved, but did not fully access.  That was 7 or 8 years ago!  God, what an amazing chapter of my life:)

The DR for a year or two,  Colombia for another couple years, and yes I finally made it to Eastern Europe and Ukraine.  All the while women and wine were my constant companions.   I lived!  I was happy.  But, that last trip to Ukraine left me empty.  15 months of reflection and soul searching and questions and questions and more questions.   I said "F$ck it"  I will live in Colombia SA. (It was the place that I felt best).

That is before I met Jennifer.

She was an American girl, lovely, 19 years my junior.  She wrote love letters like a Russia girl.  She was constant and reliable.  I left my deposit on my penthouse in Colombia and took a gamble on Jennifer.   We lived in Myrtle Beach for 2 months, and then she and I moved to LA.  Guess what happened last Friday?  I got married for the first time in my life.  HA! 

Getting married - when correct - is LSD for the emotions.  The vows somehow touch places that have always existed, but never fully accessed.  When I said my vows to her, the world blurred and I jumped into her soul right through her beautiful eyes. Oh! My life with Jenn has been romantic and passionate and natural.  There has never been any doubting. I am a lucky man.

The reason for this post?

Russia and Colombia was always a Plan B for me (albiet a very attractive Plan B).  It is worthy to note that one ought never give up on one's "Plan A" - a true, authentic love that requires no effort, planning, nor artiface.  Lightning does strike - there is no rhyme or reason.  Now  I am a happy husband to an American girl:)

Anyways,  I have never been so happy.  It feels like my life of international travel and wine and women are gone forever.  Think I am on the "right road."

Good to see you are still happy, and now a married man.
The place where you find your partner does not matter, nor does the time and money you (can) spend on it.
What matters is the reward you get from finding the right person.

There is no plan B or C in life. Go for plan A until you reach it.
No it is not a dog. Its really how I look.  ;)

Congratulations Tim!!!!     :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:


This proves that indeed "Good things come to those who wait!"   (even if you have to wait for a long time  :D)


Not only is Jennifer a beauty, based on what you told me she is your soul mate, and that is so important.


Coincidentally, on the same day that you married, my Russian stepdaughter got married at my country club.  Remnants of my celebratory hangover still linger.

Thanks all! There is indeed something special - reverent - to marriage vows.  It can be powerful when two are in love and have best intentions.

This was exactly 365 days after the first day we met BTW.

Grats! I remember your first day here. Glad to see you made it to the finish line a winner.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

Billy B ... yes my first day I had a burning question in my mind and heart  "Were the Russian Girls REAL?"  That was many years and countries ago for me.   WOW! I drank the Kool Aide BIG TIME.

And, I ended up with an American girl, and our life, connection, honesty, and love is beyond anything I could have imagined back then.    You see, I know life experiences change and enrich a person.  They certainly did in my case.   

So, I am living an old fashion life (sort of) with the woman of my dreams.  Every day is beyond happy.  I feel as though I won the lottery.

Congratulations on your marriage. Marriage is a good thing!

I did find it unusual that you would post here and subject yourself to folks here. I guess I'm the first, but 19 years under your age?  I'm 54 and my wife is 13 years under me and I stretched for that. I'm in better shape than my wife due to the gym. But, 19 years is a lot of age difference. Men that marry women over 15 years under their age don't think about that difference when they get into their 50s. Things change. And "things" can mean many things.

Hit the gym, stay in shape, and be the best that you can be and she will be with you forever. But, with the
big age difference, you will need to work hard when you get older. I'm there and I know.

You know, I think people think of this all wrong. Maybe in the beginning I was only looking for a beautiful woman.  Of course initial attraction is very much caused by the superficial.  But, what I have now is beyond all that.   I am an old soul in these matters.

I remember when I had fun talking and advising about this stuff!  I would have said the SAME THING.  See for yourself. Here is a video that I made 3 days before I met my wife=>VIDEO

What a shift in mindset...I have never been happier than I am now

IamZon,

Being happy with where you're at is the best. Good for your or as one of my friends says a lot, Atta boy.

yeah - the hyperlink is from my old seminar / event videos.  I think I had 4 or 5 beers in me when I was discussing AGE GAPS ... it just goes to show that life is lived in chapters and phases

Very interesting video.  Is there a large age gap between you and your wife?

Congratulations Tim.  You had so much fun in the single life I wasn't to sure if something inside you might keep you from ever taking the plunge but I guess all it takes is the right one and it seems you have found her.  That is great.  You have our wishes for a long and happy married life.

Gracias Turbo!

Me too.  I just did not feel a need for a wife - hell!  or a girl friend for a long time.   I tried a few times, but it was not real.  I was just sport shopping.  But, then, when I met the right one ... LIGHTNING BOLT.   

Happy to see you are well:)

Speaking of age. I know a guy who married the woman next door. She was 25 years older than him and they stayed happy for years. Anything is possible if you are with the one you love.

I am 15 years older and it is working out fine. Don't worry.

I'm never ceased to be amazed at some of the huge age discrepancies between married couples on RWD. It's funny when the general stance on the forums seems to be that searching for a girl more than 10 years younger is fool's gold, yet some of the regular posters have wives much younger than this.

Reminds me of one of those wife hunting tours to the FSU you see on youtube, filled with either obese old men, or guys who just aren't all mentally/socially.

I guess the Western feminist stereotype does ring true in some instances.

Meh...posting here is pointless.
Married 3 years now, with a 2 year old son. Wife is from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.
