We're partially joking, I'd say. These threads are pathetically predictable.
I don't believe American women are any more or less hopeless than American men. That is to say, there is a decline in responsibility and morality and respect on both parts.
Chortle! I'm starting to feel guilty, like when I spent an afternoon watching the "Miami Vice" marathon on TV Land. Better go count my blessings and get some work done :-).
"Considering the attitude of many Japanese men, I can see why they want American husbands."
Japanese men are not anti-woman or anti-family. On the contrary they are very pro-family but they feel that they must sacrifice their own lives for the good of the family. They don't realize what they are missing out by working those 15 hour days. Those who have studied or lived in the west are not as prone to work so hard (and some hate the Japanese way), but if you are a doctor or a manager or higher in a company, it is expected that you work extremely hard to have a high social status and provide for your wife and children (even though you never see them very much). Clearly it is not a healthy system comparing it with a western background, and that is why it is cracking at the seams now.
You just haven't met the right American woman.
Last I looked, most folks aren't Orthodox Jews, which is a fairly insular segment of society, and not quite so swayed by feminism as society at large. It's hard to extrapolate much from your example, and I'd be quite surprised to learn of a 57% to 43% female to male disparity in college attendance among Orthodox Jews.
Some people use the abuse button like it was a Rapier.
With some people, your opinion is a valuable as theirs.....as long as it is the same opinion.
LOL.
Bitterness doesn't attract women? Who knew?
Not for a friend of mine. He hooked up with one, and she is a completely wack job. Spending them right into the poor house to boot.
I know what you mean.
Some of these threads can be more like WWE Smackdown.
Think I'll get back to work too. (BTW, got your note. Thanks!)
Oh no, not another woman bashing thread ...
You're welcome ... thanks again for the stickers!
American men have far more options in marrying a foreign spouse than American women do. There is higher foreign demand for American men than women. Why?
Lets hope their selection criteria consists of more than "American or European male." There are plenty of 'stinkers' around
Er, a complete wack job too.
She don't drive, don't work, but spends his money as fast as he makes it. I am talking a spending machine.
Only a matter of time till it ends in disaster.
What I was trying to tell you is that women in college is not anti-traditional roles. Unless you think the less educated women are the better.
Because foreigners have just as distorted and idealized an idea of American men as American men have of Asian women?
boomkmarked.
when they change the pologmy laws I can get me a young Japaneese wife too.
"Yeah. Like I'd want to marry a compliant doormat..."
The funny thing is... there are many men out there who do... I've dated lots of them... at least once...
