Sorry, Neil, I was wrong too. I did not need to generalize you with other people. You could not have known that this lovely girl would be a fraud. This is their way of life. They are professionals.
I am very sorry that we made you talk about it. Almost every woman in this forum has a grudge against men. And it seems to some that the wizard will come and solve all his problems. Each has its own family model. For someone you need an equal partner, for others it is a passport to a better life.
I still think that meeting expenses should be equal. I don't understand if there is no money for trips, for meetings - What is she doing on this site? Maybe she should look for a guy in her country or write right away - I'm looking for a sponsor who is ready to solve all my problems.
Excuse me again. Do not lose faith, but be careful in your search.
Good luck to you.
