Oh I know, but Americans, if they so felt like it, do have more ability to travel abroad more often than most. For instance, most Filipinas I encountered don't have the money to travel.
I really should've used different terminology, though. Instead of American, I should've used the term Anglo. All of the Anglo countries can be lumped in the same economic category.
Being American doesn't make you "attractive to women" in most if the world .... maybe in dirt poor countries and places like the Philippines. You do know there is a lot of anti-Americanism all over the world, and there is an actual dislike for Americans which is widespread, from Latin America to Europe and Russia. So the chap who is under the illusion that simply being American and whipping out his American passport in a cafe in Rome or Kiev will have women oohing and ahhing in lust needs to get a reality check fast.
Being good-looking and rich gets you places, irrespective of nationality. Many American males are so emasculated by growing up in the U.S. that when they're abroad, they completely lack natural social skills and ability to rapport with women naturally.
Well, being American by itself is not likely to help you. My bad again. However, the typical American (or Anglo) is likely to be well off compared to other nationalities and their personalities seem to be more adaptable to a wider variety of women. It should also be said that the American (hell, even Anglo - I know that your typical Australian just goes to the tourist spots and duly comes home again without having learnt much) man who seeks a wife is by himself unconventional, whose personality is not fully comparable with your homebody American.
Whilst being good-looking and rich does indeed help you whoever you are, Anglo's are more likely to be wealthy than Arab's. Beauty is also a subjective thing. A man who is good looking in the Anglo world may be considered absolutely hideous in the Arab world (and vice versa).
I would also say that somebody who refuses to associate with you just because you have a certain nationality is pretty petty, truth be told.
As for this social skills stuff, I'm not fully convinced. The dysfunctional nature of most Anglo females renders them impossible to relate to properly unless you yourself are dysfunctional, social skills be damned. Non-Anglo women are a different kettle of fish entirely. I've been pilloried for lacking social skills for my entire life, yet I find that I get along very well with a wide variety of women, from Filipinas to Indonesians to Malaysians to Chinese to Latin Americans to Africans to Arabs. Hell, I even get on with Scandinavian girls! Why would that be, I wonder? Perhaps part of it is because my upbringing is as much Malaysian as Australian. Maybe it is due to my unconventional lifestyle (for an Australian) - but things are the not the same for me everywhere when it comes to women.
Maybe I'm not the average Arab ..... I am well-travelled, tall, and pretty good looking (if i say so myself.)
Well, maybe not.
It's a wonder how anybody is able to meet anyone here in the US.
