RE: I'm lost - Where do I go?
Good questions, and important ones.
So I am 27, 189 cm (6'2), handsome but not in very good shape at the moment. Balding a bit too but not too bad. Would consider myself pretty "alpha" in general, maybe not super alpha, but alpha enough. I'm sure I can handle any woman. Income is alright, at least over $100k/year from investments. I could afford to live in the upper echelons of society in Mexico City, Bogotá, Moscow etc but not in St Tropez, Marbella or Monaco.
I do like adventures though and usually get bored if everything is too similar to the UK. On the other hand, I don't want it to be so different that you feel like an Alien (like in East Asia).

RE: I'm lost - Where do I go?
You need to start traveling and experience various locations yourself, it's as simple as that. You can make threads till the cows come home but it's not going to get you much closer to knowing if you'll like a place or not.
Bob, John, Sam etc telling you Blahblahistan is great means little to nothing. Everything can seem great on paper or have rave reviews on the forum but then you show up and in two hours you realize you hate the place for reasons that can't be easily explained. There are places that others on the forum absolutely love but that I can't stand- because we are different people. You could list all your stats and interests and whatever but there are preferences that you didn't know you had (let alone us) until you are in location finding out that you hate or love X about it.
First, use your basic criteria on the objective aspects (weather, race, language, crime, economy etc) to narrow down the options, then do your own research on those places both here and elsewhere to find out more of the nuances and culture, then most importantly- go there. Until you get your ass on a few flights this is just faffing about as you lot say.
Americans are dreamers too

Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland
Those countries are resisting the mondialist agenda pretty well which will protect them from the (possible) great race wars. Very homogenous populations, so very stable. Population is falling which will lower asset prices (can be good or bad)
I don’t know the divorce laws but most of continental Europe have laws which are much more protective of the richer spouse (very different from US/UK)
Poland is a bit boring but Prague and Budapest are interesting and lively places. There are some very pretty women if you like the Slavic type. A friend of mine (French) moved to Hungary and is very happy. Hungarian is a bit more difficult to learn than Czech but both are category IV in FSI ranking.
Alternative: Portugal
Lots of rich European including some friends of mine, are moving to Portugal. They have been changing tax laws to be more attractive. Climate is very good. Women are swarthy but some are pretty. Language is Category I (FSI) and if you change your mind you can move to Brazil  You have a lot of tourism and things to do.

That is very true GlobalMan, and it is something I intend to do as well. I guess I am just looking for more tips on places to add to my travel itinerary.

Considering 100k is after taxes, you'll have a blast in southern France. Stay away from latin america with this bank roll, its not worth it unless you are really into drugs.
