I love how David wasn’t looking for a woman to make him happy but he wanted someone to share the happiness he already had with.

[@joygernautm6641]

Also, very telling that he wasn’t looking for someone younger than his daughter to start a “second family” with.

I think he’s a good dude. Solid. 100%

She was also brimming with confidence when compared to the other women. Confidence really does make a huge difference.

[@uglytruthist9914]

Keep your weight under control and don't have kids out of wedlock. Any woman who does that is miles ahead of other women seeking a spouse, but you're so ef fin lazy, even those low standards are too high for 70% of you. Most men will accept older women if they adhere to that.

Men don't normally want to date or marry single mother's. It can be very complicated for the man to deal with a instant family. The guy should make it clear before hand he is not interested in single mother's. So the women are not surprised. You show your ignorance when you call him names. Single women treat single father much the same way. It is hard to bring up someone's else's kid and we know that guy would be paying for everything. Funny how the women call him names for just being honest about what he wanted. I am sure the comments are coming from American women. No wonder American men are looking in other countries for women.

[@h2t26]

Not sure about the situation, but I can see some parents being tempted due to fear of being alone to stand y their new mate. However, depending on their off spring age they need to come first. For example, if the child was 24 and being a brat then no, if the child was 10 then that new person has to go the child comes first. See so to me it depends, in the end though you should do everything to keep your family together for they are blood. The other person might love you for now, but they can leave just as easily as they arrived, blood wont change.

I never had insecurities issues towards other girls, never had trust issues, never had a problem with him being a responsible guy and dad but i have to admit that we both went thru so much together because we meet when i was still 19 yrs old and he was 21.. we were both extremely immature, we had so much disagreements but one thing im so thankful is that even now with our 30s, we have grown so much!!! so much like woow. we constantly learn and adjust with each other and one things for sure..respecting your relationship and listening to each other and be willing to compromise a lil bit to keep the relationship healthy is very important..like when he have to adjust with me being a person with ADHD and me not abusing his patients and constantly finding ways to better myself. sorry if i talk so much but the ending is that i think i have no problem seeing Cristina and David falling inlove in less than a week.

By the way….I met my wife on this tour only I went to Ukraine. And my future wife was not in the social she was to shy to go in! I just by chance saw her sitting far away at a table in the cafe next door and why I saw her I just had to meet her and walked over and introduced myself. Very sweet, extremely shy, and now my beautiful wife! ))

Wait what, you approached a random stranger and she was reciprocative? How old are y'all?

[@bobhabib7662]

@@justadreamerforgood69 The younger generation is shocked that people used to need to muster the balls to communicate, and men actually had to pursue the woman they wanted. This would help explain the prevalence of simps and beta males in today's society. But you keep swiping for that woman of your dreams ...

[@justadreamerforgood69]

@@bobhabib7662 It's not about the balls. Women nowadays only choose the top 10% of good looking men because they are available to them 🤷🏻‍♂️ Nothing about having guts. Besides I see old guys creeping more than younger dudes 😒

Compatibility, shared values and both people having the will to make a relationship work are the most important things. People can work out the details if they know what they want deep down in their soul. It doesn’t need to be a long dating process.
