(capitano blaugh) Not sure... you'd better check with your sistas to make sure it's ok to have that or any need. Better to play safe and say it's a want.
Dude: didn't you get the memo? No man is EVER supposed to use the words "need" and "want" in the same post: it gets the wimmin-folk all feisty and riled up! 
It's like a particularly malicious version of Whack-A-Mole: just when guys think they've FINALLY gotten through to wimmin just how offensive saying "I don't need you!" is, and it FINALLY disappears from the boards for a day or two, it then pops up again like that stubborn carny rodent. And I don't even get a prize for my efforts!

Posted: 6/26/2008 8:07:14 PM | Here's your completely accurate answer, known world - wide by aware people:
American men make the best husbands.
Foreign men make the worst husbands - and American women know this.
American women make the worst wives. (Feminist, self - centered, man-bashing, etc)... | |

Well, golly gee, jeepers, Mr. Blaugh--isn't it silly to spend time in a forum where you don't care about the topic?
Personally, I think more middle aged women are dissatisfied with men in general (world wide), than women of other ages
You might be right about this, SueCat, and since women are the workforce now, they have the means to do the leaving.
It isn't always about living one's dream, but sometimes an escape from Blahdom. One thing I have learned in the last three years of being single, it IS better to live alone than to live with someone who isn't right for me. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 8:19:26 PM | Well, summer is here and I see some of us still insist on being victims instead of survivors. Nope, nothing is wrong with me, must be the entire Male (or female) portion of my incredibly diverse nation's population.
This box, this media driven culture, can only give us outrageous expectations if we let it. Own your past, ALL of it.

Posted: 6/26/2008 8:21:14 PM | Hmm Hmm. I think I somewhat know "both sides" as I myself am a naturalized American citizen for many years. I do think the scenario when a woman "imports" a man from another country is rarer (but I have heard about a couple, often based on common ethnicity or religious background) than when a man does it. I do think that inherently women are lot more adaptable socially, so oftentimes they "make do" with what's available (i.e. locally available men) instead of entertaining a risky proposition of getting someone from abroad. However "equal" we are, it is still more understandable and acceptable if a man ends up being the main breadwinner (which is almost inevitably the case if he gets a foreign wife, until she adapts and is able to contribute).
As for satisfaction with American men.. They (overall) have a lot of admirable qualities - more than not American men are really good fathers even after the divorce and they do care about their kids from previous marriages. Most can cook and clean and run the house for themselves, at least passably. Many are softer, kinder and better with expressing their emotions. Less aggressive and more polite.
On the negative, the above qualities are sometimes take the form of the extremes: too obsessed with kids and "being a good father" to the detriment of anything else in their life. Allowing themselves to become ex-s doormat because of the kids. They mature a lot later it seems (that, however, applies to both genders in America). It's funny to me when a 25 yo is being referred to as a "kid" - to me by the age of 25 it is supposed to be a pretty mature individual. Many Am. men (not playahs) don't really have any idea of courtship - how to treat a woman they are interested in as a WOMAN, not a pal. I have been confused several times - could not understand if a guy was interested or just friendly - turns out he WAS interested, but never expressed it in a manner that clearly showed his romantic inclinations. But I suppose we have all the feminist indignation with door-opening to "thank" for that. Instead of actually ~pursuing~ a woman that caught their interest and putting ~some~ effort in courtship, they seem to have rather benevolent attitude. They "go with the flow" and end up with a woman that pursues them - usually more aggressive, demanding , manipulative type.. and then they are surprised that she's that way? Duh... Also, since the life here is so easy for a single person, many become "eternal bachelors" - they don't have any incentive or desire to be in any sort of emotional relationship or an attachment with a woman.
My take anyway... | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 9:35:22 PM | fauve1, known world-wide by aware people, huh?
so, your generalizations have gone way beyond just this country now - do you have personal experience of being married to an american man? and are you the messenger of the world now? (i mean the messenger of the aware people of the world.)
hmmm, well, i've lived half my life in this country and half in england and I was around some pretty aware people (husaband worked for the bbc for many years)...no one ever said anything of the sort that you are speaking of here.....
Here's your completely accurate answer, known world - wide by aware people:
American men make the best husbands.
Foreign men make the worst husbands - and American women know this.
American women make the worst wives. (Feminist, self - centered, man-bashing, etc)...
so, as some others have referred to on this thread - have you got some worldwide statistics to back up your claims? | |

Men generally just want sex and her to keep her stupid mouth shut. If they can get it from a foreigner with less effort and money that's a preferable option, but I'm sure you all already knew that and weren't interested in the reasons behind the behavior.
Wow, you should really put that one on your profile sport.
That way the woman you claim in your profile to be wanting, possessing unconditional, true love, would know exactly what she's in for. How can she provide you with this love if you don't listen to what she has to say, after all, you want her to 'keep her stupid mouth shut' right?
I'm sure a lot of the men who go down the foreign bride road require exactly what you described from their women, which is why they head for countries where the culture is male-dominated. With English not being her native tongue she'd be less inclined to talk back too I suspect.
The trouble with all of this is the relationship is reduced to a mere business transaction, it's empty. The woman gets the 'security' she could never have hoped for in her natural circumstances and, in return, she offers sex and maybe cooking and cleaning thrown in.
He looks to his 'buddies' for intellectual stimulation and she gives him the only thing he requires of a woman.
He could care less if the American woman is dissatisfied because, in his tiny world, women are only good for one thing. Once the sex act is over, they just roll over and go to sleep because communication is not required.
For mine, I can't have a relationship with a woman I couldn't engage mentally as well as emotionally and physically. We go in as equal stake-holders or not at all. I don't want a mousey doormat and she won't get one either.
In a million years I can't figure out what was rattling around your head when you wrote that opening line. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 10:38:37 PM | ^^i agree....but, look you're not from this country....hmm, not surprisingly, i guess....
actually, that's wrong of me - the men i know personally would never say or think the comments many have written here because they truly respect and appreciate women deeply......and the women i know personally also respect and appreciate men deeply and we're just normal people i know...so what's happened to so many here to feel so negative about the opposite sex?.
i guess that's what has saddened me so -to see the apparent lack of respect that has been shown so easily by so many so much on this thread and others recently. | |

But you and I are still from western countries and I know there are numerous men in Australia and the UK who think like that poster.
I don't know where this hatred and disrespect comes from, I wish somebody could tell me. | |

Personally ~ I've always taken joy in the the exotic ~ anything `
women being no exception ~ it makes for some interesting memories
when ~ I finally hang up my spurs.
As far as american women ~ what can I say ~ prettiest things God ever made.
I get an ~ amen ! there?
The nature of all women ~ is they will put up with a lot ~ "if" certain things are met.
A man's job ~ is to figure out what they are ~ cause she's not a telling!
What she says and what she means are often only seperated by what she is willing to contend with.

Can we say LOOKS and MONEY. That is what most, not all, Americans are all about ... and that is what the rest of the world sees.
I agree that this IS what it all boils down to; however, I don't agree that it's a new phenonomen. I think it's always been this way, and furthermore; I don't think it's probably a whole lot different in many other countries either.
I think it's been pretty well summed up here though:
In the States, if you don't have looks AND money you just get passed on by. And the people who passed you by well they very often don't have looks OR money either. Arrogance may be the answer in a nutshell. I think the attitude that we should be able to purchase "top quality" at "bargain basement prices" may be uniquely an American mindset. We want the "best" of everything.....but are only willing to buy it when it's marked 50%-75% OFF. | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 4:59:45 AM | yeah, looks and money seems to be so popular and getting those bargains does seem to be so true of americans...until they don't work as we wish and instead of blaming ourselves for choosing the bargain, we blame the bargain itself.....
i notice the concepts of looks and money are purely external 'features' or value or commodities....and yet, many really do choose internal features like compassion, ability to love and be loved, understanding, responsibility, consideration, internal beauty....all those wonderful concepts...when choosing who we wish to be with...
perhaps it is both? internal and external value? perhaps balance is the key....like with everything. | |

WeAre1 ... yes I agree a balance is the key .... BUT its the looks and money that come first before anyone is even agreeable to get to know a person inside. That comes after, and if the looks and money are more than enough, well interesting that much of internal values are pushed aside ... in the beginning anyway.
Many will deny this truth, but hey Nip AND Tuck is growing strong in magazines, shows and well ... even with some of my friends. | |
