If you dated someone from the Third World...

[nijuusei]

Puerto Rico isn´t exactly the First World either

you're making me wonder...
where and how does one draw that imaginary line anyway?

 

[Piquechampion]

You think they're undeveloped, despite living in Barcelona?

Where exactly are you comparing them to? The deepest darkest pits of London or NY?

To Upper Middle class Guatemala

Puerto Rico isn´t exactly the First World either

But it ain't Guatemala!

I would not.

Language barriers, ethical barriers, racial barriers, and cultural barriers. I would sure as hell visit any country on a vacation, or to get away from reality. But to live forever? I don't know if i'm up to starting a brand new life in a country that may hate me for what i am - and be perfectly willing to put me to death.

Take that, however, with a grain of salt - not counting the US, i only have friends in Canada, England, and The Netherlands, and through them, i've got plenty of reasons to be willing to live there. Maybe this "man" would show me things i never knew about his country, giving me a reason to believe that no matter what, i would be safe there. Til then, i am an out black gay guy, and i do not hide this. My choices, therefore, are limited.

Man, Black people are very well appreciated in Latin America... and even tho the socities are somewhat conservative, gay people can live at peace over there.

Of course, I know this seems confussing... Myself I would have to be very much in love with the guy to move, lets say, to Africa. But if I was in love, I would

Post or Pre drug lords Guatemala???

 

[SoulSearcher]

... would you consider moving there??

Darling, as far as I know, we are one world.

 

[ok455]

Nope I couldn't see my self moving to a poorer country or any country in that matter. i would have to learn the language Money culture and other stuff.

I hate to say this guys, but "I'd get them here", does not work any more in the US since 9/11 and huge changes to Immigration Law. Been there done that. My xbf wanted to come here from a third world country, but after 5 years and $2,000.00 spent on 2 different immigration attorneys, he could not come here. Reasons?

1. The USA now has a 'favored' status for all countries. If the country isn't a 'favored' country, forget it, he/she can't come to the US.
2. He/she must have a college degree, (and only certain professions are 'wanted').
3. You MUST hire an immigration attorney, you can not petition the INS yourself.
4. He/she must purchase a round trip air ticket, no one way air tickets.
5. He/she must have a job in the country of origin.
6. He/she must own property in the country of origin.
Even after you pay an attorney, file all the paperwork, etc., there is no guarantee that he/she can come to the US!

To answer the question though, I would move to be with a bf wherever he lives. Handling money is no big deal. Life style may be different, but depending on the country, US products etc., are everywhere. And I would learn the language.

There are many countries that even though are third world are much cheaper to live in, etc.

 

[Horschallen]

No, I would not, because being deaf in these parts of the world can subject me to additional hardships.

 

[hunky]

And don´t forget that most third world country guys are uncut.
