I wished my wife's county (a small European country) had a real diplomatic post out here so we'd get invited to function but we live 2,200 miles from the embassy. She's also a native citizen of the country we live in though.

An old flame of mine is now an U.S. FSO in a South American country. Haven't really talked to her yet about life there. She authored some article a few years back profiling U.S. F.S. employees (didn't use the word "officers" ~ and it seems it includes anyone working under Chief of Mission authority) and it'd appear, from survey results, that 2/3 are female and 84% are single (never-marrieds or divorced).
