He married a Colombian woman?
I’ve heard some of the attraction of going to some of these countries, for men, is the females.
Not PC to talk about, and don’t know about this man in particular, but some men are aggravated by some American women’s outlook on life. And, actually prefer a woman who has been raised in a different culture, with a different manner of interacting with the man in her life.
Totally not PC to say anything about. But, I’ve heard that’s part of what drives American men to retire overseas or try to meet women from other countries.
I've little to base my opinion on, but I can't imagine that the security is any different than living here. There are places within an hour of where I'm sitting that I'd not want to visit without being accompanied by a squad of armed Marines. I imagine (completely baseless opinion.....) that other countries have fine spots to live in, and similarly not-so-fine as well.
I'd also imagine (AGAIN.....opinion ONLY based on those I've talked with....) that the ex-pat life is what you make of it. It's the difference between being a local and a tourist. If you live in a gated compound with a buncha other expats, what's the point to moving, other than to save a few bucks?

You are so correct in so many ways, you could not begin to count them.
It was either I break rank, and terminate my enlistment contract early, and become an ex-pat, and give up what was all I’ve known, or stay enlisted, come back to the U.S.A., and at least have a job. That was in the mid-70’s. The Pussification of America had not really become engrained, yet, but I could see it, and hated it, then. Once home, I found myself in charge of an entire warehose gang of nothing but women. YE GADS! Was I right!
That aspect has been well-discussed here at various times.

Too true, the women there have not been as ruined by feminist views as they have been in the US so they still actually act like women used to here in the 1950’s. Also you don’t have the risk of them divorcing you and taking you to the cleaners like guys do here in the US as the laws are still somewhat fair down there.
In an alternate parallel universe, I’d have an Asian wife or GF. Heck, it’s an alternate universe, I can have both!
