Does it pay? Sometimes! The English teacher will receive a good local wage and will often have good accommodation and a maid provided. These services would cost a great deal in the UK but are very cheap locally.
The male English teacher also lives in a sexual paradise even if he has no game whatever. In fact teaching IS game. Game may be seem as an artificial means of creating what English teachers have for real.
Social proof. Women are attracted to men who are listened to by other men. Who is listened to more than an English teacher?
Lifestyle. Who lives a more interesting life than a traveller?
Genetic diversity. There is a tendency to mix genes with people unlike yourself. This is why 'exotic' looks are always prized. You will know this if you have ever traveled- you become suddenly good looking wherever you go.
In order to do this you may need a CELTA or other high level teaching certificate. A good school such as my own choice International House requires good English before they will accept me as a student. Unfortunately I have not yet reached this standard and so am doing a simple (free) English course right now.
In addition to this many countries require a degree in order to issue a work visa. My choice here is the Open University that offers a part time flexible 'open' degree which involves moving from subject to subject at will.

I do not quite understand why your grammar should be a problem. Your prose are fine. Keep tying.
Getting experience abroad is one of the best decisions a person can make in their life. It only opens up more doors. I know it was the best decision that I ever made.
Currently, I'm teaching English at a public Junior High School in Japan via JET (a Japanese Government Program). I had always wanted to try life in Japan and I figured the most realistic way would be to teach English. Although I make less money here as an English teacher than I do back in California I prefer this life so much more and intend to make a living here to the best of my ability.
You're right, going to another country means leaving your culture behind. Unsurprisingly, I don't feel any homesickness for the cut-throat competitive Californian culture that I left.
As for material possessions, I won't make any big purchases until I'm married here. Luckily, I don't have to buy expensive crap in order to attract a wife here. The girls in the countryside here are so much more sensible.
And yes, you don't truly realize how feminine real women can be until you've spent time in their company. Japan has a rich culture that still runs strong in most places. Husbands still work their asses off for their families and wives still serve their families. In every family that I've ever had the pleasure having dinner with over here the wife gladly served the food and cleaned up afterwards. It's actually touching that the hospitality women afford to their guests is also afforded to their family.
The women that I've met here are still materialistic, just not bitchy about it. People here have fewer material possessions than people in the US but I find it much more to my liking. The nice transportation system here means that families don't need a car for every person. The economy is still depressed in general so women tend to be smart with money out of necessity.
Although my experiences here are as of yet limited, I'd have to say that as far as Japan is concerned, despite the newer laws which are destorying marriage here, a foreignor can have a very normal, traditional, fulfilling family life. As it should be. One here needs only to find work or start their own business.
