Title: Introduction
Post by: Paul Todd on March 29, 2009, 05:03:06 pm
Hi guy's
Hope you don't mind if I pull up a chair and introduce myself. Well,50 yrs old, divorced 5yrs, two grown up kids. Fell in love with India in my teens, you know the old hippy trails of the 70's which led on to S/East Asia. Never visited China, although I saw it from Laos once! hehe hehe. Also tried to get into Tibet from Nepal, but the boarder guards where having none of that! Joined the site in Dec 08 and on the first page of profiles there she was.I didn't have a clue about what was about to happen to my life. I added MingZhi to my favorite list and the next day there was a letter from her At this point I started to read the forums and I haven"t stopped since! Now I don't get letters from beautiful Chinese girls [well she"s 48 ] everyday, so I had a head full of questions that needed answering double quick. They where all there in the forums. What a result!  In fact I never posted any Questions on the official site, never needed too! Best advice was blindingly simple,ask your lady! You know sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees. I tell you it was like a bunch of guy's holding up road signs, all you have to do is take notice of what they say. We started sending emf"s and within a couple of weeks we were exchanging 6000 word letters, every two days. She asked me to hide my profile which I did and she hid hers. Then she gave me her mobile number so we started texting each other. Her English skills are basic but it was the feeling she put into it that got me hooked.Then on to e-mails and QQ web cam. Then dropped out of the official site. Just follow the signs! We do the web cam for hours now,to hear her laugh is the best sound in the world. Ok the translation software is none to good but we both have to deal with it, so it can be very funny. We both try and teach each other our own language and this can have us in tears from laughing so much. Once you get a bit of trust going and the stress levels drop these women are just great,never had a woman ask me if she can take care of me for the rest of my life before. I don't know how to thank you guy's enough, without your advice there is no way I would have got this far.I can see the finishing line and it's not that far away.

Paul, great post.  It sounds like things are working out very well.  Like some of the others have said it sounds like you have your poop in a group!  You are a welcome addition to the group, enjoy your time here and don't mind the friendly banter this is a pretty laid back group.

Paul , Well posted , I hope any newbies read this post because you have set out the A1 way to approach these young ladies and almost a mirror image of my own story except we met accidentally out of chnlove , even though we were both on the at the time , however never talked through that site and we converse daily via webcam and also phonecard , but as will probably always be she is learning English far quicker than I am Chinese , all the best , for the best is yet to come . :)

Gezzz, haven't read that for a while! You must have dug deep to find that one my friend! If you had told me a year ago that I would be married and living in China now I would have been amazed. The past year has just been full on. learning about China and sucking up every bit of information I could find about it! The age thing was deliberate on my part I wanted somebody who had a bit of life experience someone on the same page as me.:angel:
I read the stories here and I think I was one of the lucky ones, everything fell into place for us and I got good advice every time I needed it. Honestly the only doubts I had came from reading about other peoples fears you know ,is it a scam,who am I really writing too,is it all about her wanting to leave China. I'm not saying that these are not legitimate fears but they can leak into your relationships without you noticing. Max tells people to get out of there own heads and I think that's great advice. Spending time in Asia defiantly helped me understand what I was getting into,but people like Rob who had never travelled outside of there own country before and still had the guts to follow there dream, well there hero's in my book.
I will say that if you are open and honest, loving and caring Chinese women will knock your socks off, so all the stuff you have to go through is all worth it in the end. Try to imagine yourself in there position that helps.
Thanks mate, Ming Zhi would be very happy to talk with your wife and any others out there as well, seems there not that comfortable posting stuff . Well I'm being told breakfast is on the table so I better stop this nonsense:icon_cheesygrin:

Paul it was because of your Hat trick:

1st goal - you found a good lady
2nd goal - you took a leap of faith and travelled to china to meet her
3rd goal - you look dashing in a Chinese Hat :fi_lone_ranger:

Paul it was a good re read of this thread,  so thanks to Bigbutt for bringing this thread forward for nostalgia - Happy Memories
