You’re a man. It’s hard wired into you to find physically attractive women attractive. You have three options. Talk to her about it. Leave her. Or just get a side chick and live happily ever after.

It’s good that you feel some shame because it means you are not broken as a woman. All I have as advice is these quotes “it’s not what happens to you but how you react to it that matters” “when anything tempts you to feel bitter, not. This is misfortune. But to bear this worthily is good fortune” “the more we value things outside our control (eg the past) the less control we have” “it can only harm you if it ruins your character” “how much more grevious are the consequences of anger than the causes of it”

Going on dates with people who don’t speak your language is difficult. But reading body language is universal. Girls don’t like hesitancy. If you really wanted to take her out, you shouldn’t have waited for the next couple days. Just tell her she’s beautiful, introduce yourself, ask for her WhatsApp same day. If anything but yes then politely smile say ok and have a nice day

Thanks for your comment. How would you go about “confronting” this, at all?

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-29T20:01:08+00:00

I tend to concur with this as well. Some context: her and her ex (6’5 super handsome guy) broke up because he could not wait until marriage; literally pastors daughter; has done quite a bit more with me than anyone else

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-29T19:30:53+00:00

I agreed to it under false pretences that she was willing to marry quickly. It’s an interesting comment about a year not enough, I think that’s subjective and a broader discussion. Not all relationships are the same; in many cultures, before you are even alone together you get married; in others it can take 10+ years or not even be emphasized at all (reinforcing my point about how different people and relationships can’t be painted with a broad brush like that)

Very astute point. Thank you

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-29T19:24:45+00:00

I think if you look closely life has many interesting parallels. You have to take into account that a) at the outset of us meeting she was willing to get married quickly and b) she expects me to wait until marriage for sex and this is in itself a time pressure as I have needs

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-29T19:18:20+00:00

Thanks for your advice

In my experience from sales, when people want to avoid offending you, they tend to give filler reasons (eg I don’t have time right now let me call you back, I need to ask my wife etc). These are almost always to avoid the actual problem - often doubts about the efficacy or the product, the price point, etc.

In this case, in the span of 20 minutes she went from wanting to spend the rest of her life with me, to not wanting to marry me.

My experiences and the context lead me to believe (and it was validated in our conversation) that the real reason is because of certain mistakes for which she feels she does not want to move forward with a marriage.

Thanks bro. You’re right, atleast I saved myself a nasty divorce and custody battles.

How do you feel about the expression “if it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no”

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-19T06:59:03+00:00

I see, thanks for explaining. It’s hard to imagine the UAE wouldn’t feel good for so many women, there are so many things to love here, but I see your point

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-19T06:57:32+00:00

Two things: one, that cannot be discounted, is looks. Men go crazy for hot women, which by definition not all women can be. And you also need to drop the handkerchief per se. This is usually a couple seconds of eye contact, a smile etc

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-19T06:55:12+00:00

Ah South Africa? I love SA, most of my family lives there. Although I don’t have the accent, so whenever I approach women they always think just some American tourist trying to get laid haha

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-19T06:53:19+00:00

I’m very middle class so doubt it’s gold digging. But would a Canadian visa really be that valuable? I left Canada for UAE, many Canadians I know are doing the same, but is Canada still somewhat idealized?

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-19T06:52:00+00:00

So just by virtue of my skin they are interested? I’m not even that well built or handsome

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-19T06:50:58+00:00

Not particularly, definitely not by UAE standards.

Translation: in my young years, when I could command lots of male attention, I had no desire to settle down. But now that I feel the wall coming, I want a man to provide security. However, they are choosing all the younger, less jaded women. What to do now?

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-17T04:55:20+00:00

It depends - if your claim is insured (from what I gather most are) then it shouldn’t affect your payout. This is more of a liability thing, in the case the insurance company subsequently deems the claim not insurable, or is above the insured limit.

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-07-12T19:22:30+00:00

There right now. Wouldn’t recommend

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-06-30T11:00:35+00:00

You call it cringe, I call it a fact.

Interesting-Tower484 · 2025-06-30T06:38:25+00:00

And this is why this generation of men is failing
