Yes. This is what I don't understand. I've been reading threads like this for years on FR (and I promised myself I'd never get involved in one!), and why any man would post a "stick it American women" message on this of all forums is beyond me. You guys know who your audience is, don't you? This is the most inappropriate place for such comments -- so what's going on?
I know it's only a minority of FR guys who take such (obvious) glee in making sweeping generalizations about American women, but why do any do it? I don't know how to say this without offending some of you guys, but honestly, it's as if you have such a chip on your shoulder that if you don't target those who least of all deserve your comments, it's not enough of a charge for you.
That said (cough), when I've read these sorts of threads in the past, I've always managed to find, about halfway through, a few posts from some good-humored, American-women-loving FR guys that have cheered me. I'm going looking!
You're reading carelessly.

Accusations of glee notwithstanding, there is a culural phenomenon occuring wich is likely to increase, that has a more complicated cause than "jerkwater/insecure/lazy American men want a subservient maid." In speaking of cultural phenomena, it's necessary to make generalizations.

I avoid most of them too, they never bring me joy, but I saw a couple of my friends throwing themselves to these wolves, and I had to stay at least to make sure they don't get eaten.
But they don't need me, they're holding their own here. My only hope is that they don't begin to doubt who they are because of the venom that comes from bitter people. It is the happy and successful in love who have something we can all learn from, not the embittered.
LOL! Yep, this is a great place to meet good conservative gals...but still we have a lot of these threads.
And I show up...dunno why. Guess it's the train wreck factor.
