I agree with jimukr104, as much as I enjoy traveling, I will always miss certain things about home, especially when traveling in the third world, his complaints about the poosy paradises ring true. Even the little things like good customer service, no bartering, no taxi rip offs, etc make being home more comfortable in many ways. Also, I haven't given up completely on the women in Canada, even the Anglo ones, there's still some good ones out there, you just have to know where to look (not Toronto, haha).
I'll continue to travel in the third world but am still on the fence as to whether or not I'll settle in a poosy paradise. Sometimes I think that the forum gives a false sense of reality and leads some to believe that if they're not happy with the women in their home country then jumping on a plane and going to a foreign country will solve all of their problems. This simply isn't true, yes you will probably get laid more than back home and the quality of women may even be higher (looks wise, not socio-economic), but there's a lot of other factors and issues you'll be dealing with when you land in a possy paradise (especially if its you first time in the third world), jimukr104's post nailed it.
Why don't more Canada guys that don't like it move to Montreal?
Everyone in Canada seems to love Montreal.
I mean, if I lived in Albany, NY and was miserable, I would just make the move to NYC.
I'm seriously considering making the move G and I've had job offers there so its a feasible move. Most Anglo guys wouldn't move there because many don't speak French, which is basically a requirement to find a decent job there. A lot of Anglo Canadians are brain washed into thinking that Quebec is a terrible place full of separatists who hate all Anglos, which simply isn't true.
Basically if I move to Quebec it will be a major lifestyle change, one I think I may be ready for and it boils down to two lifestyle options:
#1) Do I work 6 months a year making good money and travel the rest of the year wherever in the world I want?
#2) Do I work a regular 9-5 job in a cool city like Montreal, make less money (about half) and only have 2-3 weeks vacation per year?
Its a tough call but I'm honestly getting tired of living out of suit cases and living full time in Montreal doesn't sound too bad.
