Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Remarry? See, now there's a caveat, men tend to say they wouldn't marry 'the same' after all that wouldn't work out.....I married an American. Next time though, I'm going to Brazil, marry, have a kid and they won't be able to extradite me.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

I don't think it matters. People are people with similar strengths and flaws.

I'm guessing the implication is American women are too obstinate, etc., etc. I have a friend who worked with a guy who married a lady from the South Pacific he met through a catalog that connects American men with foreign ladies for marriage. Within a year she was earning extra income at night as a call girl. Told him its not his business.

I have another friend who married a lady he married from Russia. Drop dead gorgeous. Health problem meant he had to take a pay cut and reduce his work schedule after 7 years of marriage. She's now looking for someone else, considers herself single and goes out on dates looking for Mr. Right.

I also know other ladies from other countries who are devoted wives and good moms. One is a church elder's wife. It all depends on the person.

I think there might be something exotic about a foreign lady; oriental, Latina, whatever, but that wears off after a while. In opening nationality doesn't matter; character, intellect and personality do.
 
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.

Women wanted change without realizing that when they changed men would also. That was not given much thought when this sexual revolution was going on.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Think she means girlfriend in the friend sense.

Yeah maybe so, either way I still like her and the way she posts in DP for the most part.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

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

Seems YOU have a problem keeping a woman, great go ahead and buy a doormat, seems right up your alley.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

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.

Those are jokes, not real attitudes.

And who would you be calling "door mats"? Apparently you believe some of the stereotypes out there. My ex-wife is Okinawan, she was not a "door mat".

except its said that neither shave their legs or arm pits.......:)

Wasn't my experience. whistle.gif
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

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.

.

I think that Americans in general tend to be very idealistic, and have hardwired ideas regarding femininity and masculinity, and when someone doesn't meet those expectations, they don't dig it, as a general rule. I think many of us tend to have storybook ideas, as opposed to realistic ones, and they have trouble understanding that many people have both characteristics within their personalities, and that this is perfectly natural. American culture has long been that of heroism, and when we think of heroes, the tendency is to envision someone who looks like the Marlboro man, riding off into the sunset, after saving humanity. What really happens, as that the Marlboro man is also artistic, and has some feminine traits, just as the damsel in distress that he saved, has some masculine traits, and there's no reason to think that you need someone who can contribute the qualities that you lack. You just take everything, throw it in together, and let it simmer til it's reached perfection. ;)

You should go to the link in the OP, to Amazon, and read over 200 comments on the book.

Because 200 comments on an internet comment section is representative of society.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

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.

If I met one who I was compatible with then sure, I'd marry another American woman.

Why do you care who American men decide to marry? If we don't marry American women, that just leaves more of them for you.

We're not competing for the same women. Straight girls aren't interested in women, and lesbians aren't interested in men. No competition.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

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

The truth is hard to swallow, I know. Despite your apparent distaste for it, the disrespect and cuckoldry of men is praised by feminists and their white knight counterparts.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

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:

Lizzie you have my apology not that there is anything wrong with being a Lesbian. I hope you can forgive me.....:peace:cheers:

Treating women equally, is not disrespecting men. I know that's hard for you to swallow.
 
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 :().

I don't know that it's particularly one sided. The whole concept of a relationship has changed. Shacking up is considered to be no different than marriage and there's no stigma at all associated with divorce or single parenting (by choice). On top of that respect is something that seems to be perceived as "due on receipt" instead of something that is earned and, as we all know, stuff you don't earn is valued a whole lot less than the stuff you do earn.

Lol this topic isn't about "treating women equally," though I'm not surprised you'd dish out the standard feminist "logic."
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

depends on the woman, really.

Nationality and culture may make some attitudes more prevalent, but in the end it comes down to what the individual person is like.

What about bisexuals?

If enough American men choose not to pay attention to American women, then some of the Straights might have to learn to swing the other way.

That's the perception, that treating women equally is equal to disrespecting men. Which is just not true, which is why the OP's premise is faulty.
