I've heard from several people who are in an older generation than I am about this, but it goes something like this: Date foreigners, and even better, if you can go to that country for a little while and find someone willing to be your wife there, marry them and bring them back.
It's always been off-putting when someone can say things like that in an earnest manner.
I wish I knew more women and men who liked rock climbing. It's so fucking flat here, and I can't find anyone who wants to take vacations to go climb.
