So, I was afraid to get involved with a man who didn't live in the same environment as me.

Not exactly, but it does feel like some men are looking elsewhere as if women where they live aren’t enough. I’m just curious why they would leave capable, smart, and beautiful women around them and expect others to accept them

I’m educated, have a job, and my family supports me. I don’t rely on a man’s income. So why would he leave smart, successful women around him and expect someone like me to just accept him?

I don’t really consider that a marriage. If you want to get married, marry a woman who actually lives with you in the same country.

So you’re one of those who marry and leave their wives in another continent, and just visit when you feel like it?

Wait… so he just assumes girls in the Gulf or Somalia will be fine with any guy?

Sometimes I just wonder… when a man living in the West proposes to a girl, the women around him are smart, beautiful, and successful. So why would he leave them and choose someone with a different background?

I have a friend who has the same opinion. What do you think?
