I mean, the women are absolutely beautiful and the competition for them is fierce. Let me tell you this, it was really intimidating going to the beach when I first got to California. While it was a bit of a pay cut coming from my $70K a year accounting job, to working on lawn equipment as a mechanic in the local area, I do not regret the move in the slightest! I guess that’s probably why I kinda unconsciously picked this area to move to. Talk about culture shock! Wow! The people in Newport Beach are active, like they never stop. Since our two children were setup good and going to college I decided to move out to Los Angeles in the Fall of 2011, to the Newport Beach area to be exact. Lucky for us, the feeling was mutual and the divorce proceedings actually went pretty smooth, believe it or not. Needless to say we both started to really pack on the pounds into our early 30’s, and to be honest, we both started losing physical attraction for one-another.Īfter nearly 20 years of marriage we both mutually agreed to get a divorce. I stopped going to the gym, she stopped going too. As time went on we both seemed to get lazy. Life was wonderful, we raised a couple beautiful young children, had the house of our dreams and seemed financially set. Just out of college I got a good paying career in accounting and shortly thereafter I met my ex-wife Jean. Growing up in the Midwest there wasn’t much else to do but go to the gym, chase the girls and drink beer with the buds on Friday nights. I guess you can say that I was one of the “overachievers” growing up. All throughout high school and college I was always one of the active guys that could play harder, workout harder and still be able to keep my grades up.
