Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Since Obama is going all out to dismantal our military, I'm sure we will be involved in another war in Eastern Asia pretty soon.

There will soon be more opportunities for American men to marry Asian women.

I am not sure of that my friend.....Judging by the cuts I think Obama is going to turn this country into and Isolationist like it was prior to WW2 even worse.......
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Well, I don't agree white men are unattractive, and cross-racial attraction is quite common. But I mean, if it was about "traditional values" (in their minds, subservience to man-children with control issues), why even bother with men in other countries? They can be treated like crap right in their hometown by someone who actually speaks their language. Why go across the world? I thought part of "traditional values" was caring about your own home community.

Do these guys seriously believe these women are the least bit interested in them for anything other than money and visas?

I know one man who will agree with that statement. :lol:
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

It depends upon the circumstances. Is the average mail order bride looking for love?

No. Absolutely not.

However, some Asian women do find American men to be legitimately appealing. Ironically, that attraction often has just as much to do with culture as the reverse.

By and large, Westerners will treat their women better than many Asian men. Some Asian women appreciate that.

I actually heard something similar from a black woman in my old Army unit once. She said she was thinking about dating a white man, simply because she thought a white man was a lot less likely to hit her.

Sure, no doubt. Hell, I've had a touch of that exotic culture attraction myself.

But the thing is, these kinds of guys aren't going to be the type Asian women looking for a higher standard of relationship want. These kinds of guys are the stragglers of the West who want to treat their woman as badly as the local Asian men treat them.

That's why they have to do stuff like resort to mail order.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

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.

:) Men need respect in a marriage the way women need love in a marriage. If your culture isn't designed to teach men to be loving towards women, and to teach women to be respectful towards men, well, one or more likely both of those genders isn't going to be getting their emotional needs filled, and it's going to poison the relationship.

Worth noting before anyone decides to launch a collective bra-burning, "respect" =/= "subservience".
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

I'm taking about the type who intentionally look abroad or do "mail-order" type things. Of course, anyone can fall in love with anyone. But these sorts of people aren't looking for love, and that's evident in how they go about it. They're looking for a subservient woman, and what they'll likely get is a gold digger.

I have to agree. I wonder how many of them get divorced once they become "Americanized?"

I don't think white people are unattractive, but I was raised in a culture with white people. The women these men are talking about grew up in conservative cultures where, unlike ours, there are not many white people. In those cultures, family comes first and that means marrying a man from their own culture. And in many Asian cultures, white men have a reputation for physical features (excessive hair and sweat, large noses) which are considered unappealing.

In addition, many of the american men who are in foreign nations looking for a wife are somewhat past the prime of their life.

Yuck, could you imagine being "bought" like that, to a guy you don't even know? I wonder if they get to know each other first?
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

I dunno about bought, but I'd be willing to give renting myself a try.

I can't say they don't deserve each other.

If you mail order a bride.... yeah. I can see that. :shrug: I hope it works, but....

The guys I saw marry Asian women, the culture was probably part of the attraction for them.
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

When I was about your age, I worked for a small software company and one if the salesmen was a really good-looking guy whose first name was the same as mine, and whose last name was incredibly similar (which was a bit extraordinary because we both have uncommon last names). He got the idea to have cards made up with *my* name and work # on them, and he gave them out when to women he was out of town and going out to clubs.

After just a short time, I started getting a lot of calls from the girls he had met, which was annoying at first. But then I had a good idea - Whenever a girl called up, I played along as if I were him. When they asked how I was doing, I told them "Things are great! In fact, I just got a raise and a promotion. And I'm going to be in your town next week. (Truth is, I usually didn't even know what state they were calling from) How about I stay over for the weekend and we'll meet up on Friday night. I'll pick you up around 8. We'll go have a nice meal and then hit the clubs and party all night!"

After a few weeks, and not showing up to countless fake dates, the sales guy came into the office from out of town. He sees me and say "Sangha, what are you doing to me?!!". I put on my most innocent face and asked "What do you mean?" He then tells me that he was out at a club and one of the girls he had met there previously walked up to him and started shouting at him about how he didn't show up for the Big Date he had set up with her.

"Oh, that!!" I said. "Oh yeah, I meant to tell you. You've stood up a lot of women all over the country"

It started happening all over the country. After a while, he got scared to go to the clubs. He kept meeting up with the angry women he stood up. :lamo

Nice. :lamo

I've been known to do that from time to time, myself. I'd never go so far as handing out actual business cards though. :lol:
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

What if a wicked ugly hairy woman with warts bought you? Then she beat you and made you clean the toilet! :2razz: Then what?
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

That is an example of a no win question. If I was to have a factual answer that was not what you find truthful due to your preconceived notions you would call me a liar, but if I was to answer the other way I would be a pig. Therefore, the question is unanswerable and not worth dealing with.

It's a question in direct response to the claim (whine, IMO) that women are disrespecting men.

Meaning if women are, then so are men, and so I guess you are right...you are either a liar or a pig.

I had a guy walk up to me in a club once and give me his business card and walk away. Lol. Needless to say I never called him because he didn't even talk to me! It was weird.

Edit: Maybe he was just looking for customers. :lol:
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

I am not sure of that my friend.....Judging by the cuts I think Obama is going to turn this country into and Isolationist like it was prior to WW2 even worse.......

According to Sec. of Def. Chuck Hagel today who speaks for Barack Obama, the U.S. Army will be downsized to 1940 levels, an "isolationist army" that can't fight if it's attacked.

I don't think the Chinese war plans or any other future enemy over the horizon calls for giving the U.S. Army 18 months to two years to train an army that can actually be deployed and fight.

And all of those horny Oriental girls aren't going to wait around for a couple of years waiting for G.I. Joe.

Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Good on you, NP, and bless her.

Thank you.....I wish more American men had the opportunity I did........She presented me with 4 wonderful children and since I was gone for long periods of time she raised them pretty much on her own and they were all honor students and college graduates......My grand son God Bless him received his PHD in Geochemistry last December...He is working for Carnegie Institute........He is being interviewed by Columbia and Dartmouth for teaching and research jobs at those universities.

How would I know? Maybe you're into kinky stuff. :lol:

I don't know about the past, but I kind of have to wonder whether it works sort of like online dating these days; with prospective couples chatting / emailing back and forth and sending pictures before agreeing to meet.

Travelling half way around the world to marry some person you've never even spoken with would just be nuts.

The question was unanswerable and framed in such a way that neither answer was going to get your approval. Sorry, everyone already knows that game. If you have already passed judgment do everyone a favor and stop pretending that you haven't.

You want a resume and references?

It's possible I suppose, but I never called, and that was a couple years ago. Oh well. :lol:
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

It depends upon the circumstances. Is the average mail order bride looking for love?

The idea of marrying for love is a fairly recent modern invention. In more traditional cultures, marriage is about bettering one's family and not starting a new one.

Something to think about: If a young women is conservative enough to believe in traditional gender roles, imagine what her parents are like!! Now, do you think those parents are eager to see their daughter marry someone from a different culture, and possibly have her move to another country and have non-Asian grandchildren?

And if the parents don't approve (not necessarily a given), how likely is it that your traditional bride-to-be is going to go against her family's wishes? And if she's free-thinking enough to go against her parents wishes, maybe she's open-minded enough to reconsider the whole submissive wife thing once she's had a few years of serving you dinner and washing your undies


However, I do acknowledge that there are foreign women who are genuinely attracted to foreign men and we do have a reputation for being romantic.

Oh, I approve of both answers :)
