I decided to TAKE your advice and I'm looking oversees for my new life. I have three questions;

#1- Is there anywhere in the USA that's ok for meeting women? I live in a small city here in KY -- a women just moved from wisconsin into my apt building and she's as bad as all the others here. I teach college p/t (theatre) and act once or twice a year professionally. I've been involved in theatre/tv/film since 15. My education is done (two grad degrees) and I have a pretty solid resume-NOT meaning to brag just let you know what Im' up against. I have a minor disability that prevents f/t teaching and work. I also have an internet biz that nets $1K a month CLEAR. I can't obviously afford a big city like NYC or LA. So is there somewhere in this country where a guy stands a fair shot????
Depends on how many women you need to meet. A college or two, in town helps. The big-name cities (NYC, Chi, LA) all have a bunches of smaller, cheaper to live in surrounding cities & towns.
Check out http://www.city-data.com/ Put in your own zip-code just to see what you get. Also there's a forum you can ask questions on.


#2- Do you think I can use my skills in a foreign country. I'm willing to do other things-teach english etc etc. But I'd love to teach drama or at the university level an english-communications course(s).....
Yeah. Chicks love drama.

#3 - Lastly, I need a knee injection every six months (synvisc-1 about $1500/month) ....I'll lose my health insurance if I move. Maybe oversees it will be alot cheaper. If I don't have it I'll be unable to get out of bed. So is this findable oversees.
Everything is findable overseas. Find out what the generic name is, and look that up, too. Also find out if it can be imported. There was a bit of dust up a few years ago because Americans were buying their meds from Canada, to save money. Same med, lower price. If you're a veteran, check with the VA too.

Thanks. 'ppreciate it.
