I live in Ireland all my life and I have the same problems here. Its great to see you being honest about your experiences, a lot of women would be afraid to admit everything you've experienced but the truth is its the same in every country in the world. I think thats why so many couples who meet their first love tend to stay together as its better the devil you know.

[@davidaschwanden2094]

Well said. Trying to find 'the love of your life's on a dating app just doesn't seem to make sense to me. I'm sure there are a few who find someone, but keep in mind anyone on a dating site is talking to several other people they want to date. Imagine meeting someone in real life and asking if they're single and their response was "Yes I'm single and currently pursuing 8 other people I'm interested in dating. So would you like to go out now?" Obviously most people would run away, quickly. As they should. But for some reason they are willing to accept it from people on dating sites. I just don't get it. Seems like that's just a recipe for disappointment. I'm just grateful nothing bad has happened to this girl. What she's doing with all the crazy stuff going on in the world today sure seems awfully risky. I certainly hope she finds what she's looking for. I just think there's better ways of doing it than via internet searching.

I agree with you 100%. I just like to be myself and even then, it often does not matter because the person you are on a date with, usually is not always open and being themselves. I just give up, and instead, I do activities I enjoy, and if I meet someone that way that is fine.

Great video Maddie! I'm American living abroad in Europe now. I've dated in France, Spain and the USA. It's all the same, exactly as you describe it. I finally got off of the apps. It's too easy to meet unpleasant men who seem to have no sense of humanity or respect. I prefer meeting guys in real life, in the wild lol. It's much much better. Not as many dates but the dynamic is completely different. I swear I think all men see all women on dating apps as being 'loose'. I know that's not true for 100% but it's true for most. Btw, I have enjoyed my own company a lot more and no longer look for my 'media naranja'. I didn't realize how much I have to offer myself. Like you, I don't want kids and very happy with that choice. The single life is unfairly portrayed as lonely. Not true. It's bliss if you've been stuck in a bad relationship. I'm not ready to give up my bliss too easily now. Have fun, don't get into cars with guys you don't know, love yourself more than anyone else and be proud of all you are. You're Golden!

[@abearias3575]

Your honesty is commendable. So many people put on masks on dates to pretend to be someone that they are not. Unfortunately, once that mask comes off you may have begun to believe this could be the beginning of a good relationship. Once that happens, you kind of lose interest in dating. I have always enjoyed your videos because of your honesty which makes you who you are, a lovely woman. I am glad I had the pleasure to have met you in Ajijic. I was the older gentleman who stopped you and your friend at the plaza in Ajijic. I had asked you about a possible scam on your KZbin channel. I had gotten a notification that a comment I had made on one of your videos was selected and I could receive an Xbox or some sort of prize. You told right away that it was a scam and do not reply to it. I thank you for that. I hope you find someone that will make you happy in life and appreciates that he has someone as special as you.

I’ve been told that the prepared foods aisle in the supermarket is a great place to find eligible singles!

Same issue, different gender! Men seem to want an instant maid/housekeeper\sex partner, but I have met other women in our age group who are looking for a “sugar daddy”. Good grief! There must be a way to find compatible partners who actually want personal, thoughtful interactions, and I am not talking about agreeing on every topic, either!

You hit the nail on the head with this, great video, super well done! And yeah, in Mexican culture it's not uncommon for exes to stay in contact and be friendly with each other or even each other's families post-dating. This can definitely seem weird to people from other cultures where it's more customary to cut all ties off after a breakup 😅 like, my aunt by marriage divorced my uncle, and when she started dating an American man, he was like... why are your ex in laws always around?? He thought it was so weird. He eventually realized that it didnt point to any lingering romance between her and my uncle, we just are always going to be family, and now he's also considered part of the familia ☺️

" You look so much prettier and softer in white"... therefore every time I wore black there would be comments about me changing.

Mom on a journey… You go, girl! Don’t let anyone in life, including KZbin comments, make you second guess or change who you are. You be you girl! You are a princess and don’t you forget it! Maddie’s dad!

[@mwiebe2663]

I ask my husband’s opinion for how something looks on me basically because he has a good “eye” if something suits me or not. But that’s very different from having him control or choose what I wear. That’s 100% mine. And I find he’s as complementary if I have a party dress on as if I’m in my “let’s paint the living room or lay some ceramic tile” clothes. 😂

Maddie, I really think you been outdoing yourself on these latest videos. Your videos have been a part of my life since 2018, even cooler is that I was in Saltillo in 2018 at the same event as you.

[@annettesallee2209]

This was such a great video, and so well done

[@4nshale]

This was an interesting and informative video. It was organized well. Also, the video picture, background and lighting was excellent. Great job!

[@russelllukenbill]

You are both brave and smart. The only thing missing from this video was a tier list! So funny. Cheers.

[@christiang38]

Well Maddie I congratulate you on everything you’ve done on your time living in Mexico. Can imagine dating in Mexico was big challenge. Thank you on all continent you put out.

[@simonelavigne8618]

This great. We are so much alike. I love the scientific presentation and analysis. A friend teased me years ago that I am the type of girl to put my relationships on a graph. This is the first time I have every seen it done, lol. Awesome!

[@rogersmith9705]

Thanks for sharing Maddie. You really put some efforts into this. It's very informative and telling of the dating scene. ❤👍

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

I really enjoyed this video. It's deep culture. I'm glad that I'm not currently in the dating scene. It has changed so much!

[@MyVintageLife]

Wow, this is so viral, Maddie! A fascinating topic! Yes, everyone's experiences are different. I found that nothing was typical or common behavior there. It went from pure hate, to non-stop proposals, daily. Everything ranged from one extreme to another. Nothing in between. Nothing normal, or evenly balanced. Weird. A fabulous discussion!

[@nancytebo6737]

I just really love and appreciate your articulate, down to earth videos.

[@tialumakeup7073]

Thanks for sharing Maddie. Im looking forward to the live!

[@truthmatters4520]

Thank you for sharing. I'm glad I'm 51, and done with dating and men in general. My dearly departed mom always said," if your lonely, get a dog!"😆😉

Dated my husband who is Mexican from Michoacán for 4 years and have been married for 40 more 😊. He isn’t anything like the typical machismo Mexican man. He is kind and loving and very nurturing. I had a high profile job and he was always in support of my career. So there are great men out there in every culture and country. Unfortunately you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find the extra special one. Good luck and you look amazing in your video. You have a wonderful glow about you since you’ve made the announcement of moving back to AZ. Just remember it doesn’t have to be forever and it’s a big world out there. We’ve traveled to 40 countries and can’t wait to travel to many more. Enjoy the journey of travel and discovery.

[@guillermogouldburn763]

The frog does not want to be kissed by anything other than another frog 😂

[@georgeparrish]

Great Video Maddie! One of the most entertaining and informative I’ve seen from ya! 😂😂😂😂 Love you Girl!

[@soul2soul399]

Guys still being attached to their ex… that’s been my experience with the men I’ve dated too. I think the problem is that a lot of men can’t be alone so they try to find another partner right away before they have healed from their previous relationships.

[@MaddieGold]

Excellent observation! I'm inclined to agree

[@peachteatina]

@soul2soul399 This!!! 100%!

[@TheSuperRol]

Nah, nah... women do this too. Monkey branching!

[@soul2soul399]

@@TheSuperRol true… this isn’t only something men do.

[@LMDinNC]

They also treat dates like therapy sessions, rather than going to actual therapy.

Excellent video, so clear, interesting and honest. Thank you and wishing you very best!

[@KineticCode]

Hey Maddie, I married a mexican lady (and got divorced). The acting like a child thing can happen both ways. When we moved in together she felt insulted that she had to help out or work or do anything honestly. So I had to pick that all up while working to support us and that definitely weighed heavy. It wasn't a relationship where she viewed me as a big money american either, she just lived her whole life with her parents doing this stuff for her. And she cheated as well, but I agree with you that the machismo stuff feels more common.

[@somethingclever2]

Mexican man don't mke their women work . And that's why I want one as a white American.

[@las174]

that's very interesting

[@ltdodgen]

Yes, many little girls are spoiled and indulged, often by daddy and they turn out that way.

[@oopsdididothat7727]

Hello.. Where do you find these people? xD Thats not an adult, thats a child, i could not see myself with someone like that..

[@JaimeOliveros-xi3io]

Loved your video, Maddy. I'm a educational data analyst in Southern Calif so I thoroughly appreciate the stats for all of those categories (of which, I might say, I was wondering about since you left TT). I've been married for many years now and have zero clue what dating is like now but I give you tons of credit for your effort. You seem like you're such an awesome girl and I hope the best for you always. I'm a huge fan and have been for quite a while now. Keep up the great work!
