Here's my most recent FB girlfriend... Tossed the pics/contacts of the others from the past. No worries, there'll be another one along in a couple months.

I guess that the Russian scammers on IG know their target because I get follow requests from hot American and Scandinavian 20 y.o. women nearly every day. My account is private, (people need to request to follow me), so I delete anyone I do not know.

I assume that the hot chicks are Russian dudes and even if they are real, who cares? If I wanted to pay some chick’s rent, I wouldn’t need the internet. I live in Los Angeles.

Those young ladies in that one picture look like the ones I see on TikTok sometimes? Having been to most all the places in the far east I don't remember any that were built that well except in Macau where the Chinese ladies with abnormally well built bodies were thought to have implants. As somewhat of an expert on women their body parts NEVER jiggled when they walked or ran some!

For beauty the prettiest were the "ladies" we found on Boogie Street in Singapore! A fellow that was a MM2 eventually married one and brought her to Chicago but he told me his folks had a hard time accepting that! For not having any inhibitions the two Thai Army Captains we met when they were on leave from a month of fighting at the Thai border and they really needed to unwind! My shipmate was going to take some pictures but the slightly older of the two said NO pictures as they were afraid that it would get out and she would kill us?! Yikes NO PICTURES.

Yes there are lots of Asians in Aus but we also have people from every corner of the globe.
- It's truly amazing and we have few racial issues down here.

Brief story about my "God Brother" (My Mum baptized him): He met a local Aussie girl and got married young. They tried to have children but it never worked out for them. At about the ten year mark his wife had an affair with someone she worked with so they get divorced and she got awarded half of everything they had (He sold a property and stuff then payed her $750,000).

A few years later my "GB" meets a very nice Chinese lady who was studying in Australia. Soon after they're pregnant and she moves into his house. Everything goes really well and they soon have a second child. Her parents who are retired come for a visit from Mainland China. One evening we were all sitting at the dinning room table eating take out Pizza. Her parents were there and they didn't speak a word of English but you could tell they were absolutely chuffed with their two grand sons.

My riding buddy whom I have known for 20 years married a Chinese Vietnamese girl from Vietnam. She was a refugee from the war, came over when she was about 5. He came from a wealthy family, commons were made about her and took them a very long time to call her one of their own. Hell, when you speak to her, she has no accent, teaches grade school for a living. A typical American girl if you ask me just doesn't have pale pink skin. Until grand kids came along then they were ok with them.

No real racial issues here in the big cities but in some rinky dink small city or town, I am sure it happens in some part of our country or states. I am sure it happens in the smaller towns down your way also. Most folks in the cities are pretty good about stuff like that and understand that's what make large cities great especially the foods. Can you imagent jsut pancakes and potatos all day, every day. Gimme some of that spices and sauces.

It is worse guys ... most of those pictures you posted are fake, not real people, they are created by AI. Most likely Shaun's chat friends are also bots. Millions of boy on girl chats uploaded into a machine learning tool will train the bot to the point where you will be hard pressed to tell it isn't a real person.

I do get the LinkedIn requests by fake profiles, so I looked it up a while ago. I am glad I keep a relatively low online profile. So much crap to sift through and deal with.

Here an article that links to a lot of the background. One link shows a study where people were not able to distinguish AI created faces from real ones, actually the fake ones were more re-assuring!

Years ago I got an email from a Russian woman who found me on a Porsche website. My guess is she thought $$$$$

So, I played along with back and forth emails for a few months. The sob stories got more and more descriptive and elaborate over time. She told me what a great cook and homemaker she was.

Then one day I get an email from her "friend" saying that poor Galina was arrested. The police are accusing her of pickpocketing someone on a bus, but of course she is innocent.

Can I please wire $10K ASAP to get her out of jail. I said since I had fallen in love with her I would gladly go to Russia, hire a lawyer and take care of it personally.

No more emails about her famous cooking. Oh well.

Tons of scams involving a woman and a man's innate desire to well, you know.

There are aspects of modern life that you just have to *opt out* of if you want to remain sane and happy. This would be one of them.

Also, there are lots of beautiful Asian women but the one in pink underwear ain't one of them. She missed that bus.
