Bottom line, it takes effort to be married to an American woman. Why? Because we are worth it

With all due respect to you as a fellow Freeper and citizen, no, they are not. There are some great conservative women out there, I never met them.

Ohhhh, so some women should be slaves, and some independent?

You take the slaves, I'll take the independent.

What YOU don't want to hear is the REASON foreign-born women want to marry American men. It's called legal citizenship. k?

I've got a few friends who married foreign ladies and have had kids with them. The marriages are more than two years old and none of them are divorced. It's not all about green cards.


Bottom line, it takes effort to be married to an American woman. Why? Because we are worth it.

LOL! Some are, some aren't, but surely your words will console them as the population of American spinsters increases. You're really doing them a great favor.

Marriage is about control?

I don't remember that part of the Christian marriage ceremony. You know, the one I took part in.

We had love, honor and cherish in our vows. Not love honor and obey.

The only man I obeyed was my father.

I think you and I have different meanings for the word "conservative."

They will marry you for citizenship. Any illusions you have of women idolizing you is just that....illusion.

Well, you do not know the whole story, so I can excuse your ignorance ma'am.

For you there can be nothing in general wrong with American men. You seem to have a hang-up about women going to college. Why?

Wrong and wrong again. I've stipulated that there are American jerks, but that's far from the whole story. The demand of foreign brides for American men should indicate that to you.

Nor do I have a problem with women going to college, I'm merely pointing out that a 57% to 43% disparity in favor of females in college enrollement, combined with the very common unwillingness of women to marry below them either economically or educationally, is going to leave a great many American women without husbands.

Conservative : votes Republican, LIKES being a woman, like being feminine, not afraid to help with the housework. If she stays home, will pick up the majority of it. Emotionally supports her man. Hates communism

I can cook and and do yardwork myself thanks.

Close enough to conservative ?

minor non-sequiter:

The Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony is long and drawn own. One of the non-religious based old wives tales for the ceremony is if the woman steps on the man's foot during the ceremony she will rule in the house, if the man can avoid this he will rule. Just a goofy superstition but it is a funny point during the wedding.

"The marriages are more than two years old and none of them are divorced."

When they reach say around 15 years of marriage... I'd be interested to see if they are still married.

If you disagree, name a time in the past when, on the whole, American women were more ungrateful than they are right now.

This "lack of gratitude' thing isn't part of my life, or my husband's, but it seems to be a big thing for you, so please explain... Exactly what do you offer that all women are increasingly ungrateful for?
