General,

It is always stipulated when solving for a variable that the divisor is not equal to 0. It tends to give some very odd answers.

Seriously nopardons you have a real nasty attitude problem. You must be a real barrel o' laughs at the ol' homestead. You're wrong it's like ME! You better check your mouth before you wreck yourself.

The fully expressed woman can be described from Proverbs 31, her worth being "far above rubies"!

Seriously, kiddo, it is YOU who have a rotten attitude and no idea of what is or is not grammatically correct.

You'd best check your own mouth, deary, because you write laughable, silly, ridiculous, preposterous drivel, which no one is taking seriously. LOL

I know an ex-jarhead Texan who spent some years in Russia and Ukraine. He said the women there are like American women of the 1950's... they want to find the right man, marry him, cook for him, and have his babies. They don't have the whole relationship-power-struggle thing going on, and to boot some of them look really really good.

He wound up marrying one and bringing her home with him.

That was my brief experience as well in the Ukraine. Some of them were quite well accomplished - yet had no desire to challenge men on the power front. I dated what passes for a hospital general practitioner who made the equivalent of $31 a month. And as far as beauty - I met and dated (briefly) the most beautiful woman I have ever had the honor to be around. It didn't work out - she lived 10 hours away by train - which she artfully obscured before we met.

But relationships/marriage with foreign women have their own problems. This, a little from my own experience, but primarily from friends and acquaintenances that have taken this route.

First, you are going to be the first resort for solving ALL the problems of her extended family. You're a rich American. Second, culturally they are different. They didn't grow up with Bugs Bunny, baseball, the Doobie Brothers, or this side of the Cold War. At some point - she will miss the surroundings and people of her own culture - whereas you're going to be a little put out that she thinks you're certifiable for giggling at the Three Stooges - rather than just an immature a-hole. Russian women can be kind of icily dark, given their history - and not particularly appreciative of happy-go-lucky goofiness.

Third, once a foreign woman is here in the US - two sets of jackals go after her - feminists ("Honey, you're being taken to the cleaners - you need to start laying down the law"), and hound dogs who recognize unspoiled innocence - and are looking to steal or defile it any way they can.

I like American women as far as pal'ing around. And in an ideal world, relationships would work here too. But it is beyond my control. That's why I always mull over the foreign women option - as I travel the rutted path of singlehood in America. I have the feeling that things might turn around - basically because of the laws of Adam Smithian supply and demand - as applied to the relationship/marriage market. Less demand, more reasonable behavior and expectations. But, the inertia of a nation is a massive thing - and I don't know that I can afford to wait around that long.

Well, I confess I'm 8 lbs. over my Weight Watchers goal, but I'm still a size 6.

Thank you for your concern, sir! I was certainly surprised, but I don't let such people upset me.

Free Republic is a nicer place because of gentlemen like you!
