Very true.

The "assertive" (aka bitchy) female is a cultural icon here.

Maybe we shoul start a website inviting foreign men to come here - where they can easily meet psychotic, bitchy, demanding women with lots of sexual experience.

Hey, some guys might LIKE assertive women.

How about this:

US

Women are sensitive to age in the dating game. American dating sites reflect this as most woman cap the age limit of their desired match at a maximum of 4 years their senior

Other countries

Women are not age sensitive in the dating game. Age differences are not judged. In many countries, a 45 year old man can flirt or date with a 20 yr old woman without it being seen as pathetic , creepy, or perverted.

AND

US
Typical female dating profiles say they "want" a man who will "compliment" them. Many feel the need to "shout" their independence and state that they dont need a man

Other countries

Typical Dating profiles say they "need" a man who will "complete" them. Women never feel the need to announce their independence nor do they go out of their way to state that they dont need a man.

"YOU HAVE TO DUMB YOURSELF DOWN IN ORDER TO FIT IN" so basically all the experiences and knowledge you've acquired while traveling around the world, will be useless in America as most people tend to be so damn plain deeply stupid, they can't even find their own state on a damn US map!!!

"BORING SUBURBAN LIVING AND LACK OF CULTURE" If you want to enjoy cultural activities you have to move to a place like NYC and even there you'll realize that their cultural offering is just aimed towards the upper class New York Jews who will look down on you for not being one of them.... While in the rest of the world you don't need any type of status to actually enjoy the culture available!

"FAKE RELIGIOUS PRIDE" Americans love to praise the lord and some even look down on you for not being a religious nut, however as religious as they claim to be, they mostly never live by his word.

"A SOCIETY INSANELY OBSESSED WITH MONEY AND RACE" That's pretty much America for you (Race and Money).... that what's on people's minds most of the time.... granted there is racism all over the world and money rules the entire planet, but other societies are more succesful at not letting these two facts of life become a national obsession.

The prostitution is very expensive and prostitutes regard their customers without any humanity considering them less than a dog.

Although not a p4p customer at the moment, I strongly agree with this. Relationships of this type in some overseas places are so incredibly different from here, that men and women fall in love sometimes. That does not happen here in the Matrix.

You mean the relationship in "Pretty Woman" between Richard Gere and Julia Roberts doesn't happen in the US? lol

Why does every American woman like that movie so much though? I never understood the appeal of it.

Because of the Cinderella effect, Winston. The theme of the "Magdalene's redemption" for the love of a man.

Hello! It's MarcusAurelius from before. Apparently I'd locked myself out of my old account or messed it up somehow, so I re-registered.

The chart is awesome; it's reasons like this why I went abroad. I think this can help a lot of men.

When I read the posts about prostitution it made me think of Sweden, which they've written about extensively on a Voice for Men. If you think it's bad in America, it's even worse there. There it is now legal for a woman to be a prostitute, but ILLEGAL for a john. It's legal to sell prostitution, but not to buy? Wtf?? That is one of the most misandrist laws I've seen yet. They are specifically targetting and arresting men. At least here both the prostitute and the john get arrested; over there only the man does.

Of course it makes me wonder how long it will be before they try something like that here, because of course all prostitutes are 'victims' of 'human trafficing', no woman would be a prostitute of her own free will. It is only the evil and horrible sexuality of men to blame for this phenomena. Heh. How long will it take for that to become the law here? With the reframing of prostitutes as victims in America, it too may be over the horizon.

Checked out the site. Interesting, though don't want to read too much of anything that gets me angry.

I especially found interesting this part of their mission statement:


"AVfM regards feminists, manginas, white knights and other agents of misandry as a social malignancy. We do not consider them well intentioned or honest agents for their purported goals ...."

This helped me understand the POV of some folks here on HA, both present and past. I am beginning to understand that chivalry is all about being a Christian and a warrior.
