If you broaden your world view you might (excluding goofs like the current poster from the Phillipines what's his bucket) find an asian guy. If asian women are flocking to white men, there may be asian men in your area who are American enough to have a common understanding with you and who also can't find a person to marry and have a family with. They may or may not be shyer than other men, but they can very often be intelligent, hard working, and kind to people who show and interest. Just a thought Lol! This is a real gas! The poor girl can't find a taker so you're telling her to try her luck with a minority- preferably an asian. LMAO! You American women should have been nice to us when you had the chance, so now look what you've done to yourselves.

Ashley wrote: <quoted text> I spoke with a number of my Asian friends (mostly women) about this and they tell me that most of the Asian men are from patrichial culture and they are not attracted to American white women, whom they perceive as more "Western". They tend to go mostly for their own or if not, they go for Eastern European and Latin women. I know that a number of Latin and Eastern European women are attracted to Asian men because they are perceived (by these women) as hard-working, overachieving and somewhat wealthy. Exactly. It is not uncommon at all to see a Chinese guy with a Russian wife. The Chinese view Russians as something rather strange- meaning that they aren't like Europeans but that aren't asian either. They are just that- Russians.

Actually, we men did change our thinking (that foreign women are better), and we do know what we want (marry foreign women) and we are not waiting for you, the American women, to catch up to us and work it out. We simply want to marry and have children with foreign women. Like many men here have already stated, we do not even want to have children with the American women. I bet that more than half of you women here are divorced and unmarried. With more than half of the U.S. women still being single, unmarried and unattached, what make you think that most of us American men want you?

Hello Folks! But first, "Cheers to everyone! eh?" *SMILES* I brought an exciting news to everyone or rather, very interesting news, indeed. I'm now here in the PI island, unfortunatley, I am stranded here in this God forsaken town (If someone would be kind enough to spring me out this dreaded town, I swear on pain of death, I shall pay him/her or whatever it is, generously & treat thier bonny lass on whatever they want.) Nonetheless, I or rather WE are here to help out a business firm to set up its internal system for on line transaction, actually it is a firm in which we are all familiar with its very nature, "a call center."
I do believed that there are among us here that are Americans or most of you are americans, if I am not mistaken.*wonders* "No Matter", because the Client of ours and their Agents of miscreants, caters the States or Corporate America (if one prefers to label it that way, feel free). I just found out while I was having an evesdrop to one of their training session, that they ask questions to their newly hired representatives about "what do you know about the americans, in general." (Ladies and gents, these are actual facts in a call center.) Warning: "Some answers are quite startling indeed." ---------- (These are the actual words & common response, on how they view americans) >Pros -They are very particular with their rights.(This is quite true, in my opinion) -Straight forward with their words. -Loves to work. -home buddy. -Caring. -They observe individualism. -Greets warmly. -Pragmatic -Goal oriented -They like small talks. -They focus on individualism
>Cons -Stubborn. -Racist. -They are like spoiled brats. -They like to curse. -They are Dumb. -Irresponsible paying their bills. -very skeptical. -Opinionated. -Pessimist -Lazy. -Power tripper. -Informal in nature. -Arrogant.(Honestly folks, I am really not sure why do they view Americans as arrogant people, The B-iggest R-ats I-n T-he S-ewers are arrogant, but I am not sure why do they view you folks as arrogants. Perhaps, because americans always curse a lot.) ---------- anyway, my dear friends, any smart suggestions are welcome, violent reactions perhaps?*SMILES*.

Nick - here is what the stats are saying about US women and being single: info from 2005 census showing 51% of women unmarried http://divorce.suite101.com/article.cfm/more_... Race and Marriage Roberts says that the statistics on single-women households varied when broken down along racial lines. 70% of African American women and 51% of Hispanic women are currently unmarried. 45% of white women (non-Hispanic) and 40% of asian women are unmarried. There are more white women married than unmarried.

TimeWalker - they may be more arrogant but it is considered worse if they don't have a sense of humor about being arrogant. Toffee-nosed stuffed shirts and fish faces are always maligned in the UK. You need to get a cheat sheet for the Brits - you might feel a lot better. Smiling back at you - hope you break out of that town soon.

Hi Autumn! Its been a while m'dear friend. Nice to see you again eh.*smiles*. I am quite sorry for my colleague's transgression. I do not have a control over his thoughts. However, If i to understand em, I supposed that is a mean joke in their culture. As for the information, you see, Filipinos are different from one another. Their social attitude varies from their povince or rather region. A filipino who lives in the mid-region of the country, are more westernised compared to the Filipinos who are actually living in the southern & the Northern part of the PI. you might asked WHY. The filipinos who lives in the mid part are very Familiar with your culture, this is because of the american Air force & army occupation on Clark air base. Because they minggle and co-exist with them. Anyway, few days ago, I felt terribly bad, since my physical appearance is western, here in this town, they thought of me as an american because i'm white.*shruggs head*. well as you can imagine anyone who is white colour in appearnace over here is labeled as an american. I felt i lost my national identity staying and roaming around here in the southern part.*Laughs*. I can't really decide which sounds fun, Being labeled as an American or being labeled as their former oppressor.*Wonders*

Kyro, oh don't get so icky about it m'darling. really, Dry Humour ye mean? is it because of their fishie nature? a cuttlefish,Pen them up together and they'll devour each other without a second thought. Brits nature inni? or.. Or fishie nature. or perhaps because they are fond of the smell of a dead fish? I'm not sure. So, yes, they do have sense of humour. No need for a cheat sheet for me m'darlinng, i'm familiarised with the B-iggest R-ats I-n T-he S-ewers. especially the English. Nobody really likes them that much in our continent, anyway.

Then go - I wasn't talking about men like you who have no interest at all in American women. I was talking about the men who want to understand how to make things work better. Some actually choose not to give up and take the easy way out. And, yup - I'm divorced. Are you insinuating that it was MY fault that the marriage failed? That would be presumptuous of you, wouldn't it? We're not interested in men like you any more than you are with us so there's no worry, there. And, BTW, all I ever really wanted to do was get married, have my family and care for it.......maybe it's easier for you to think there are no women like that anymore but it's simply not the truth.

I can completely believe all of that - "The Ugly American" is not a figment of anyone's imagination. The one thing that's happened over here which I do NOT like is the fact that during the Bush Administration, it became verboten to criticize the Administration - people were called "traitors", "anti-American", etc for it - ESPECIALLY when it came to the war(s). IMO, one of the most American things a person CAN do is question authority...our BOR basically ensures that ability so that this can never become a Totalitarian Society - the people maintain the ability to always speak out if necessary. Like I said a long time ago, we are like the petulant teenagers of the world at times - SO young compared to other cultures and often (imo) far more arrogant than we should be. I keep asking - why do we have to have or BE the biggest, best, most expensive, etc. It seems as though people lost sight of the beauty of contentment.

I agree - and that post to which I was responding insinuated that the women are divorced and it's somehow the fault of the women. I was a loyal, loving and generous wife. He was a liar, cheater and developed a serious drinking problem. It was how I dealt (or didn't, I should say) with those issues that also contributed to the breakdown of the marriage. We all had breakfast together this morning and I asked him if he considered me "traditional" now - to which he answered "no" (that's reasonable - I'm a single mom, after all)....but, he fully agreed that when we were courting and married, I was certainly filling the most important of the traditional roles.

It was about something my son said one nite to his mom (He was 6 at the time). "Daddy just isn't daddy when he drinks." That was a real wake-up call for me, and I just knew that it was time to quit. I may have shed a few so-called "friends", but I kept my son and won back my wife's trust, so yes, it was worth it. Congratulations. As a child of two alcoholic parents- both sober thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous the last 30 years of their lives- I realize how devastating this is to the family. You did well...

For me, it was an internal struggle.

Unfortunately, I got married before the second part of me managed to emerge, so times were turbulant for awhile. In many ways, there are way too many men out there who still want to live that lifestyle, and it doesn't nothing but create marital turmoil. My brother-in-law STILL lives that lifestyle, and he's approaching 55. He thinks he's the typical wealthy Chinese merchant, and comes evening time he's sitting with his friends with that bottle of whiskey at some restaurant still thinking that throwing money his family's way will still be enuff. It isn't enuff.

I really miss skiing - we used to take a bottle up to the top with up, find a nice snow bank on the side, bury the bottle and we'd meet up there every 1/2 or 40 mind for a sip and to check in. I really loved to ski - I could go and just stay on the easy trials to avoid any accidents but that's no fun. If I wipe out, after rupturing 3 discs, I'll be a certain candidate for back surgery which I have NO interest in EVER doing.

I wish my ex could have embraced all that he had waiting at home for him at the time. Now, he could but, it's too late. He was working in the restaurant industry and that, combined with his personality, lead us RIGHT into the very circumstances which you describe. It was absolutely heartbreaking.
