| Beware of Foreign Women Posted: 7/3/2005 3:24:25 PM | Who said anything about emotional blackmail? I certainly didn't.
I stand by what I said. Please read this slowly, and think about it before responding. You may disagree with me, and that is fine. But don't assume I am implying something without taking the time to really understand what I wrote!
I do not think that any emotionally and psychologically healthy person wants to be with someone who needs them in an insecure, clingy way.
Some people find it flattering to be with someone who "can't live without them". Someone who "will die if you leave me". Putrid rot.
Some people are also attracted to those "psychologically injured" people and feel they are going to solve all their problems and create a Pygmalion out of their "victims".
The rest of us want a relationship that involves mutual give and take. I can't believe this is even an issue of contention. It just seems so obvious that if you are a healthy person, There is going to be an element of responsibility for both. Neither person should be taking the other for granted. If that happens, then you should be prepared for the other person to say, "No, this is not good enough. I can do better. Good bye."
Healthy people want to be with someone who is happy and secure and confident in themselves. | |

| Beware of Foreign Women Posted: 7/3/2005 8:11:07 PM | | While Euro definately puts it in a strong way I think he does have a point. There is a huge difference between lets say a Czech girl and a Canadian one. I'll agree with the suggestion that European women don't have this huge desire to prove themselves in some weird feminist way. That being said though theres nothing wrong with Canadian women!! Yes many of them are self centred and think they are Gods gift to the world, but then again many of us Canadian men think the same way. Take me for example!! | |

| Beware of Foreign Women Posted: 7/3/2005 10:51:25 PM | you can think you are in the center of the world but the truth is that you are not. and if you and everybody around you thinks this way it gets pretty freaky. and you are ending up with f...ed up society. and thats what happens in north america. people who are all the same, thinking of themselves as of individuals. lol there is nothing about it to be proud of if you ask me. just a proof that this incredible north american tv brainwashing works. i am not interested in meeting a girl that thinks that everything evolves around her and that she deserves all the attention of the world.... and her looks, body, brain are pretty "not too impressive" so to speak. north american girls have incredibly demanding attitude, much less too offer though... combination is is just amazing... i would rather setlle for a czech girl. | |

But guess what?
Life moves on. And so should we. | |

I came to the US because i happened to fall in love and marry someone from the US.I didn`t get married to him so i could move over here .What the hell is so great here???Maybe for someone from a third world country but not from where i came from. | |

| what about canadian woman, eh? Posted: 2/16/2006 4:45:33 AM | Hello...
I live in Canada, in Vancouver in fact. Females here or at least here in vancouver I have found to be " POSITIVELY DISPOSABLE ".... They want a guy that is rich..money to burn rich, great looking and all that stuff, then they will use and abuse and cheat on him. If you want loyal through thick or thin, through good times as well as bad times...GET A DOG! The 4 legged one that is..... Females here are......a riddle within a paradox. | |

| Beware of Foreign Women Posted: 2/16/2006 5:36:38 AM | I don't date people who LIVE in other countries because long distance relationships crush my snuggly and affection wanting soul. >_>
However, should any sexy foreigners be taking up residence close to me - call me. I heart accents! ^^ | |

| Beware of Foreign Women Posted: 2/16/2006 6:09:51 AM | I only know that we could all be foreign to eachother no matter of the distance. There could be people in the same area we are living in who would be much much more alienated toward us than someone living in 3000 miles!! I would say, if you be honest and love me for who I am and not for who you want me to be, then, I can Love you back and remain loyal to you. I am someone who's been living in different cultures throughout the east and west and north and south. I have come to learn about Heart and souls and the real pleasure which can only be provided by true people who enjoy being together and cherish the fine moments. It is absolutely not about the wealth and the shallow mentalities developed through materialisme, it will all vanish one day and what good could they deliver if the owner can not be able to reach someone else's feelings and communicate properly!! I may say, I am not at all impressed with all the modern houses and cars and clothes and vacations being used to brag about, but, I can enjoy when someone else would open their heart and reveal their true souls to me. I am also very Glad I am not one of the materilistic sorts, otherwise, my existance and pleasure could as well depend on many artificial motivations!! | |

| Beware of Foreign Women Posted: 5/14/2006 8:35:49 PM | | Meekrob, What makes you think that they want to be single in a diffrent contry with no suport network (ie: family, friends ect.) I think there's more to your story than your telling us. | |
|
| Differences in cultures. Posted: 5/15/2006 6:02:04 PM | I can pretty well guarantee there's more to Meekrob's story than he's admitting. Basically, the thing that people are stepping around delicately is the idea that people - Both male and female - Around the world are different in very deep-rooted cultural ways. In general(And, remember, I'm not speaking directly to anybody but rather stating that this is the way things are 'In general'), Western civilization(Western Europe and North America, though it is more pronounced in North America) is focused on a very juvenile attitude. Love is seen as a feeling, rather than a destination - If you can't hold on to those butterflies, you are no longer in love. Divorce is rampant, families break apart... It's tragic, but common. In North America, it's more acceptable for men and women to indulge every tragic whim and - When those whims grow cold - it results in two people drifting apart and wondering why the other person didn't 'understand them'. Love has become a very selfish thing.
However, don't think that has anything to do with physical location or gender. If one met a sweet, honest Amish man/woman, chances are they would have a very different outlook than you're used to. That's just an example; Numerous different types of micro-cultures exist within North America where what you expect doesn't exist. There -are- men and women out there within all borders who will fulfill everything that you claim you want.
There are always tradeoffs, though. If you found that perfect Ukrainian girl, would you be willing to fulfill her cultural expectations of you? Would you show up with flowers every day you visited, help her up in to every bus, lay your attention on her in what ordinary North Americans would call a 'Clingy' relationship? Or if that sweet, small-town devout Mormon Utah girl were interested, could you give up alcohol, coffee and the lifestyle you've become accustomed to in order to fulfill what she needs in a man?
Yes, looking outside your culture can result in people who fulfill every one of your wishes. Will you be willing to stand straight and tall and fulfill his/her dreams as well? In short, are you worthy of the person you dream of? Chances are, Meekob was not and the cultural differences he barely understood were the reasons things fell apart. | |

| Beware of Foreign Women Posted: 5/15/2006 11:46:53 PM | what about foreign men trying to break a woman's heart and run off gleeful with The Greencard | |
|
| Beware of Foreign Women Posted: 9/16/2006 5:49:42 PM | There are exceptions that is true. But I have traveled all over the world and the word on the street is to marry an American to get citizenship. Do you realize how many foreigners have come to the US, married an American. AFter 2 years get a divorce and stayed here? Come on, the US embassies in other countries (especially 3rd world) have a mile long line 24/7 of people waiting to get in. It is much easier for someone to marry an American than have to get rejected at the embassies abroad.
Anyone can check my profile all they want. My story of immigration is my business. I have experience and for those who wish to attack me personally because they wish to discredit me, try again. I am not playing that game with anyone. Picking me apart and putting me on trial is not going to happen. | |
