“trouble attracting an American woman because of your arrogance
LOL.. as the fire breathing dragon suffers a lethal wound, it lashes out in anger.
You should realize that the emotional blackmail, scorn, and insults will not work on the guys who suddenly see American women exactly as they are.
We laugh when you say we are unworthy of them, that we only seek doormats, that it takes a “real man” to hang in there for the abuse they will hurl at us, etc.
And the real laugher often heard, is that foreign women only want to use us. I have to suppress open laughter at that one. Supposedly, the way to avoid a woman that wants to manipulate you and use you for her own financial betterment,,, is to marry an American woman?
Thats like jumping in with a great white to avoid an argument in the boat.
No, the truth is that most foreign women get treated like garbage in most other countries. Over there men follow islam, drink to excess, beat them, die at age 50, or at best,, treat them with benign contempt. American husbands are almost angels in their eyes. Are there a few losers who abuse some nice girl from somewhere else? Sure. And there are also a very few of these women taking advantage of some man.
Both were mostly in years past.
Modern communications that didnt even exist 10 years ago, changed everything.
Today many women in bad places around the globe get the dream of an American man, and the man gets a woman who treasures femininity and has true strength borne of a life of hardships.
And ask around. The rest of the world looks at American wives as the worst on earth. It isnt fair for the few nice women here. (and here on FR) But the numbers are against you here. They overwhelmingly love Obama, support abortion, and feel like gays should be able to marry.
The number of marriagable women here is dropping to a point that there are not many options.
It’s a global economy! Maybe foreign competition will be make American women improve their operation. (i didn’t dare say “cut out the fat” of the operation)
That is just too damn funny. “Cut out the fat”.
OUTSTANDING POST!!!
And dead on with how foreign women look at their local men.
What I like to point out is that in the old country, for those women, divorce is looked up with shame and embarassemnent to the women. People ask why she wasn’t a good wife, why didn’t she attend to her husband’s need, etc. (pretty much what Dr. Laura says, by the way). That’s certainly the case in my wife’s (foreign-born) family where she has 12 siblings and zero divorces...would you want to be the first to divorce in that situation?
In the United States, if your husband doesn’t like your nail color the first thing that your friends say is DIVORCE HIM, TEACH HIM A LESSON. Similar for the wife’s family, in many cases. In the US, divorce is looked upon by women as a ticket to wealth and freedom. It’s no wonder that men don’t have a chance.
The legal system gave us this NIGHTMARE by making divorce profitable for one side. It is up to the legal system to fix it - and if they don’t (which will probably be the case), men would be nearly insane to participate in it.
Columnist Fred Reed (links to his stuff up-thread, by another poster), did a smart thing: he got together with a Mexican woman. In Mexico. He retired there. His retirement check stretches further. He's a better catch compared to Mexican men. The woman is younger and attractive, and does not have access to American law to use against him.
I've been thinking that a plan for retiring men would be to go to an expat colony somewhere, whether Ukraine, Philippines, Thailand, South America, go someplace where long-time friends are likely to join you. Then hook up with a local woman. Have her understand that US citizenship for her will not ever happen.
Thank you for expressing far more eloquently than I could my immediate and visceral reaction to the vitriolic and hyper-defensive post.
After getting burned BADLY (”what’s her name?” when I’m 10 minutes later than usual getting home because I stopped to pick her up some FLOWERS! and several physical assaults {fortunately I am big enough that I was able to restrain her without any damage to either of us} are typical examples among hundreds just from MY experience) I too “quit” looking for a lifemate
MISS Wood, there is far more evidence of the mistreatment of the North American male over the last half century than there EVER was of the mistreatment of Western women by Western men over the remainder of history. That you CHOOSE not to see it is not my problem.
