Need advice, Misc, my friend is wasting his life waiting for a broad

Misc, I have a friend who is in his 50's and has been long distance dating some caucasian broad from Africa, for the past 11 years or so.

He was all excited about it at first, telling me about her and how he sends her money and she plans on flying to see him soon. It repeated every few months and she'd have some reason to cancel their plans and ask him for money. She is about 15 years younger and I tried to tell him he's probably being love scammed, but he won't listen. Several money sending services blocked him and told him he was being scammed, but he's so far into it, he refuses to see reality. They have never met in person.

11 years later, he is still waiting for her. In that time I've bought 2 houses, gotten married and had children.

He is wasting his life waiting for a woman who probably doesn't exist, and barely talks about it now. Is there anything I can do for him, other than just listen to the stories?

He has no side puss. Doesn't want to cheat and won't talk about the money aspect anymore. He wants to go there to meet her, but I fear he will only meet up with...

You cannot convince simps to stop being simps

I have a Chad model friend who flies like every other week to see his ex who was diagnosed with bpd, super toxic relationship

No amount of lecturing will help that clown (I’ve tried)

He can go on hinge and get every girl in SoCal throwing themselves at him, but he’s a ****in simp for his ex

Crazy

Some people are just delusional

You tried and he doesnt want to listen. Screw it. You cant force people to open their eyes.

I tried multiple times and he doesn't want to hear the truth. I guess the fantasy is too powerful and he's too far into the scam to be able to accept he got bamboozled. Whatever makes him happy, I guess, though I was hoping he'd figure it out after a few years. After 10+ years, he'll never figure it out.
