If given the chance to re-marry would you marry (another) American woman?

Increasingly the answer is "no".

Men are increasingly disrespected by American women. They face extreme economic and social disadvantages in family law that makes it possible for a wife to divorce them and take most of what they have including their children for any reason or no reason. They are constantly told that they are worthless and stupid. Disrespect for men has become standard practice. Men are disrespected by their wives – they’re disrespected publicly, they’re disrespected privately, they’re disrespected and then told that they have no right to be upset about it because they aren’t worthy of respect in the first place.

Disrespect of men is a joke to Americans now.

The result has been that men are increasingly dropping out of society. They don't marry, they don't go to college because they see no reason to break their humps to get ready to provide for a family -- they aren't going to be having a family.

Lots has been written about this phenomena, most of it in the strain of "why is it that men are so childish now." But men are not dropping out because of arrested development. They are acting rationally in response to myriad laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century.

Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Unfortunately, I think you're right, to a certain extent. It seems to be primarily a phenomenon of younger women (and some in my own age group as well), and I think it may be related to the high divorce rate today, and the number of women who never bother to get married, then raise children without a father figure. Some of these women reinforce to young girls, how worthless men are, by the simple act of calling the child's father a "sperm donor" or "bio dad", essentially implying that the only value a man has, is his sperm, and once the impregnating act is over, he can be discarded (except for the child support, of course :().

Rough luck at the bar scene lately huh?
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

I can certainly see the appeal of marrying a woman from a more "traditional" foreign culture. From what I've seen, they're more feminine than their American counter-parts, more stable, and more willing to put in the work necessary to make a relationship work.

That being said, however; American women can be fun as well.

Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't marry a ball busting harpy or Liberal feminist ideologue in a trillion years. However, I think there are more than enough "old fashioned" women lurking around in the United States to not render the idea of marrying domestically a complete non-starter. :shrug:

Of course I would, if I was ever in that situation. Now I would never marry a liberal woman, those are the ones that are not committed to a lifelong relationship. Every single conservative couple I've known has been married "until death do you part". I think if you get a divorce at all, you're doing it wrong.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Presumably, the person I marry is someone I love.

I would hazard a guess that the fact that I love them would be the primary factor when deciding to marry...and I'll crawl out on a limb and suggest that someone who takes into account other criteria (like nationality or ethnicity) and places their priority higher than love is likely a future divorcee.

Haven't made up my mind. Either Asian or Russian/FSU. Decisions, decisions.

That's a terribly simplistic view. People have a habit of masking their flaws in order to gain trust, only to change radically once the commitment has been made. This fact has overwhelmed even the most principled of people who once thought as you do now.

That's only when people rush to the altar and don't take the time to get to know their prospective mate. If you haven't known them for at least 5 years, you're doing it too fast.

Many years of experience with women, tells me, that women nationality does not matter.

I had the good fortune of marrying and Asian woman almost 48 years ago and I am so spoiled that I could never marry and American woman unless she is Asian....To this day she treats me like a king....:) I mean no disrespect to any Caucasian American female though...........

Would and Did.....me thinks someone has a limited understanding of the gender.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

I prefer an educated and independent woman. If I want a pet, I'll buy a fish.

Interestingly, some of the women friends of mine that are most suited to being happy in a marriage, tend to be from Europe and Africa. Of the American conservative gf's I have, probably about 3/4 of them seem to be satisfied in their long term relationships, and of the liberal ones, I'd guess closer to half. For whatever reason, it's doesn't seem that men are so scorned in other parts of the world- even those in which women have equal rights and are independent-minded.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Years ago, when I was in the Army overseas, I think the one thing that kept most of those guys going was the thought of getting home to American girls. They were the best in the world. Guys spent all their time thinking about them, talking about them, looking at pictures of them and dreaming about them at night.

It is a terrible thing that dream may now be gone for young American men. Gone is the worship and respect they had for those girls. Hurt even worse are those traditional American girls that do want a home, a husband and a traditional family. The feminist movement has betrayed them worst of all.

No, no it's not. Not everyone's experience fits into your little box.

People change dude. Some for the better, some markedly worse. There are scores of couples out there with 20 years together only to have one of the spouses have multiple affairs, become verbally or physically abusive etc. etc. You're once again dumbing down what can be a very complex situation, no matter the time spent together before marriage.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Yeah, there is not widespread "disrespect towards men" in this country. The premise is just ridiculous.

Lizzie I never knew that she favored women...almost blew me away..........I still like you a lot though.

Say What?! Omg, are you for real? :lol:

I was married TO A MAN for many years, and I absolutely love and adore them- some more than others. I call my girlfriends girlfriends, because they are girls, and they are my friends. I call my guy friends, guy friends, because they are guys, and they are my friends. If I have a male companion, who is more than a friend, he will be in a category all his own. :lol:

Think she means girlfriend in the friend sense.

I guess they have never been to Thailand......I believe their woman are the most beautiful in the world with Korea second Japan third and France forth.

It's not really. Look at the situation comedies, cartoons, advertisements, and so on. The entire culture. The kids are often the smartest, then comes mom, and then dad.

There might be a few parts of the world that are worse (I've heard that Scandinavian and French men in particular tend to struggle with notions of 'masculine identity'), but I would agree that there seems to be something very particular to modern American culture which breeds toxic women and emasculated men alike.

It might be due to the residual influence of the kookier ideas propagated by "2nd Wave" feminism, it might be a result of our current culture's rather Liberal approach to love and relationships, and it might simply be the logical conclusion of the vapid inclination towards shallow materialism and "instant gratification" our society tends to encourage. In any case, however; the end results are more or less undeniable.

There are a lot of people in our society who simply cannot function in more committed relationships.

It's a damn shame, really, and frankly kind of frightening.
