I personally don't like to travel if I can avoid it. Obviously, there are things I may want to do that requires travel, but it's not the travelling I'm looking forward to. If I want to visit DisneyWorld, for example, I don't live in Florida, so in order to go to DisneyWorld, I'd have to travel. I'd like to visit England, but I don't like long plan rides. I can live without England. I'd rather not deal with travelling....even if I had the money to do so. If I want to see family, I may have to travel, but I don't travel as often as they'd like. They usually come to me. I haven't seen my brother often because of this. He'll travel plenty, but he doesn't go see me because there's nothing to do here. He's come here, but it was when I threw my mother a surprise birthday party. We'll travel to see each other in mutual places. In other words, when I'm going to see our mother. He'll travel then. I could go visit him, but I just don't want to travel. I'll do it at some point. I want to. It's time I go visit him. I miss him. I have no money at this time to do it, but the point is, I'll travel when I need to.
So, when I ask a guy if they like to travel, I want honesty. I'm only asking because I'm curious and to know what I'd have to work with if I were to date the man. If he likes to travel, then I'll have to face the fact that I may have to travel too. I'll travel if that is what my family wants. I can put up with anything and find things to enjoy about it and appreciate the experience. But, if I find a man that does not like to travel, I'm just as happy with not travelling other than trips to visit family or when necessary. It just so happens that I'm married to a non-traveler and I'm as happy as I can be.
According to you - not according to everyone. You need to wake up and realize that your issues are YOUR issues. If you can't handle any conversation with a woman without thinking that she's judgmental - sooner or later, you're going to have to realize that the problem is YOU and not everyone else. It's like you started to realize this in your last post - and then went right back to putting the blame on everyone else. Where you live, what you do, what your interests are - to me, those ARE light topics. What do you want people to talk about - the weather?

Then put this list in your profile and tell women they are ONLY allowed to talk to you about these topics otherwise you will know they are a judgmental gold digger.
I guess since I live in the US - I'm more upset about all the food that I've had in foreign countries that I'll never have here! And I don't like fast food - so our fast food options aren't really a plus to me.
Oh - and my point was that I DO think it's impossible to have the best food because there are so many great foods out there. I simply LOVE food - and I love all the different things I've tried in all the different places. I have to live in the US but I think I could be happy living somewhere else for awhile, as well.
You probably should, then you will realize how good you have it here. Like I have.
Or maybe the question means something else that I am unaware of? Women tend to ask "do you like to travel?"
is there a guy out there that would really say No? l
Yes. My SO. We've been together for six years. We have gone away together once, in 2009, for a weekend. He has also gone away overnight to an annual gathering for his hobby two or three times. He has the time and money for it. He just doesn't like to or want to.
I may be going to one of my favorite cities next summer for a meeting--San Francisco!--and I'm trying to sell my SO on the idea of coming out and meeting me afterwards because I know there are a lot of things he would enjoy doing or seeing, but so far, no dice. I'm not going to nudge too much, because I'm sure if I put the word out a few months ahead of time, one of my chick buddies would be on board. (Because: San Francisco!) Or, if worse comes to worst, it's a place I've been to 6 or 7 times and I'm comfortable roaming around or driving out to the surrounding areas by myself. But I'll be bringing it up now and then, only because I know he'd end up having a good time. It's not like I would be nudging him to go to, say, Toronto, to see the Hockey Hall of Fame or something I love that doesn't interest him.

That's not what my ex-pat friends say, especially the ones who relocated to Europe. Something about not paying $500 a month for health insurance, knowing that they won't go bankrupt if they need surgery, and not dealing with rednecks and religious zealots tickles them pink.

I can't - but it would have been nice!

I think it's funny that she's "allowed" to ask about education, how old the people they date are, and what kind of outdoor activities they like - but NOT what they do for a living or if they like to travel. Every time I read one of his threads - I just go : smack:
