Mexico

[LonestarParticipant 333]

Last year I took a trip to Playa del Carmen Mexico, in part to see if it would be fun to hang out there in retirement. So I’m staying at a really nice all-inclusive resort. I sign up for a day trip to some Mayan ruins at Tulum and then on to Dos Ojos to do some snorkeling. I get to the van that morning and I see how my day will go. There is one young married couple and six land whales all about 40. Great this should be fun. Everything is cool, just making small talk and one asks if I’m married. I say no I’m divorced and have one son. Next question, “you think you’ll ever remarry?”
All the other conversations stopped in the van waiting on my answer. In my younger days I might have dropped some truth, which would have made for an awkward day. But I said :”Sure, if I find the right one”. OK, so I’m a coward, but like they say in Texas:”Don’t p~~~ off a bobcat in a phone booth.”

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key. Eagles

Nope, just smart.
Stealth is your friend.

As they say, discretion is the better part of valor. Better to feed the land whales’ hopes, than have one breach and sink the boat.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

I guess I’m too much of an asshole at heart–I would have let her have it both MGTOW barrels—that bobcat in the phone booth better hope he’s meaner than I am.

Wise choice! In Mexico one must never p~~~ in the wind! P~~~ off the locals, the police come and you go away to a special community of trouble makers awaiting trial, whenever that comes, unless you bribe your way out with cash money then the wheels of justice will grant you a pardon! That’s if the neighbors in your new community don’t totally hate gringos and decide to eliminate you first!

When in MAYHECO smile to the police and say Si señor oficial, and do whatever they tell you! Give them s~~~ and you get thrown away! You have the right to shut the f~~~ up and do as they say!

With the Federali in the back of my mind and their storm trooper mentality toward disrespect, I laugh at the way American people give cops s~~~, Motherf~~~ers wouldn’t last a minute in Mexico!

I would not ever want to retire there. It’s great to visit, but the basics of living are going to be very different. More importantly, you don’t have the same protections there that you have here. What happens when Trump ticks off Mexico and the Mexican decide to take it out on you.

I’m all for getting away from it all…permanently, but I think there are still places in the US where you can do that.

Ok. Then do it.

Coward? Hell no.

You were brave enough to assess the situation and conduct a tactical withdrawal which left you in a better position.

If that’s cowardice, I want more cowards in my squad.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

True that! I lived in San Diego for many years. In Mexico it really is “guilty until proven innocent”. You don’t f~~~ around down there. They can lock you up and throw away the key. It does help if you have bribe money though.

"Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.” Quote from Arthur Shopenhauer, 17th century philosopher

Given the circumstances, Sun Tzu would approve.

Lots of people retire to Mexico. Not really a bad idea to make money in the first world and then spend it in the the third world. Yep, ya gotta be careful everywhere. Anyways it’s too hot and humid in PDC in the summer, I may look at Ajijic. Same latitude as Hawaii, same elevation as Denver. Great weather, cheap living. Might be fun for awhile.

You can have it both ways actually. Just say you got divorced raped and are finally recovering from the trama of being put through a personal hell.

It worked out fine, a couple of the better looking ones kept the sour look most the day, the others were kind of extra nice to me. Women are competitive with each other.

They made sure I knew there would be karaoke that night at the bar when we got back to the resort. I didn’t go, I was tired so I took a pass and went to bed early.
Besides we have bars at home where I could hang out with land whales if that’s what I wanted. The local talent was more fun to talk to anyway. All in all a fun trip.

I lived in PDC for a year back in 2008. I lived a more Bohemian lifestyle with a simple flat to live and made friends with locals from all around the world.

I’ll never miss that experience! It really changed my life and gave me alot of perspective.

Daily routine-
Work my part-time job during the day, beach time in the afternoon at Mamita’s topless beach.
Evening- dinner/grilling out with friends, then a few beers at La Ranita with friends playing poker.

it’s amazing the quality of life you can make for yourself without having to spend alot of money. Mexico is cheap to live there.

[Secret Agent MGTOWParticipant 22531]

Good answer. I suppose there could be good ways of saying no.

Well, I said I would try anything once, and I think once was enough…

I would but I doubt I can find a woman I like who wants to have sex with an HIV+ guy… (that would have given you more room in the van)…

I would but I am not sure how many 20 year olds are into guys like me…

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

“We never abandon our posts, we maneuver!”

Reminds me of a really old TV documentary on British Parachute Regiment training. One hapless recruit mentions retreating during a basic tactics lesson. The old sergeant roars to his feet and yells at him “Retreat?F~~~ing retreat!!? Paras don’t retreat, we WITHDRAW!”
