trekkie, thanks for your post. However, I don't believe there are many differences between GAM and GWM in what they are looking for in a relationship, friendship and/or sexual experiences. And of course there are nice people and not-so-nice people everywhere.
The difference is between people you are likely to meet in poorer countries compared to richer countries. Whether in Thailand, or Romania, or Cuba, when a cute guy who is 15 years younger than I am approaches me chances are that he will be looking for the contents of my wallet rather than a meaningful relationship. And in Singapore, Norway, or Canada, chances are they are interested in me as a person. And I will be the first to admit that there are exceptions to this rule!
