To Only in America

I live in Houston and my brother in law has worked for an oil company for the last 18 years. One thing I have noticed about Arab men who work with my brother in law, and elsewhere, is that they all seem to look old by the time they get to their mid to late 30s. Pudgy, bald, and wrinkled.

So if these American women you are speaking of stay with these "young" men for a few years, and most of these men are now in their mid to late 20s, it might just be that by the time these men approach 35, they will look as old or older than their American lady friends.
