Are there really any ‘decent’ men in Panama?
Having lived in CR for over 8 years, I am looking for a new country that maintains the latin flava’s, but has a little more life and variety, so I'm considering Panama…
But judging from the posts here, I'm not sure I'll be going from the frying pan to the fire when it comes to the quality of men.
In CR, single professional women, with no children, their own income and who would be considered attractive by even the most discerning of gentlemen, have a problem finding a man of the same stature. They say that the ratio of women to men is 7:1, 1 being the number of men and 7 being the number of women, but truly, I can't even fathom where that one decent contender would be.
I don’t consider myself a 'snob' but I do have certain standards. I will not date anyone who is old enough to be my grandfather, or even my father, or anyone who is still living with their parents and still does not 'have their act together', nor anyone who thinks it is acceptable to have a wife, a mistress, a girlfriend and a lover all at the same time and probably children with at least two of them.
I think the 'Candy Store' mentally that most Americans come to CR with, has only been taken advantage of by the Latin women. Not having their own income, they are offered opportunities that they would not normally have and at some points, they find themselves in situations where they will take desperate measures to maintain the livelihoods of themselves and their families should it be threatened, leaving them with very few choices at the end of the day. Wouldn’t that make you ‘passionate’? One would wonder who is using who?
I say ‘Americans’ as the USA is geographically closer and therefore the majority of foreigners are American. I assume the same for Panama.
My hope for Panama was that there is a large enough influx of serious international business men that are not so easily impressed and who have a high standards of their own, compared those who are fresh out of the US.
Have I not come across a more appropriate social-economic class yet? Or is this just a permanent product of the meeting of the lower social-economic classes that could occur anywhere in the world?
