Btw, the USD is fast becoming very unattractive in SEA amongst the educated and/or city folks, scandinavian guys are the new hot item (and other north european and west european nationalities). No further comment
Damn, I was gonna make a similar comment but u beat me to the punch.
U chose the wrong currency bud! Chinese prolly have a lot more respect for RMB, gold, or even Aussie $ or Swiss Franc. US has already flooded China w/our dollars in turn for keeping our Wal-Marts fully stocked and Apple and other tech brands brimming with phones, tablets, computers, etc.
In last decade, US$ has lost 50-80% of its real purchasing power in parts of Asia and LatAm due to the triple whammy of exchange rate weakening, local inflation in those areas, and inflation in States (its much worse than CPI suggests). I wrote about this dynamic on this forum a couple years ago when lots of posters including Winston were telling others to abandon their jobs, pack-up, move to PI or Mexico, and live happily ever after on like under $1,000 a month. Good luck with that!
Don't know what any of this has to do w/Scandinavian guys tho, lol! Europe is in the shitter too and Euro has been losing ground even against US buck as of late.
Well scandinavians and dutch tend to be taller, cuter, smarter, and more sincere/long term material compared to american males generally speaking (speaking of those who are into asian women or wanting to find asian gf/wife). Just look at the age of those seeking girls in asia, most from scandinavia are still young while those from US are older.
Economy is much more stable as well and most are not yet jaded (the jadedness comment is based on data gathered from talking with guys on the two subject population groups), moreso, the crime rate in their country is way less than in US (Western europeans too).
Just voicing out a new trend. US glory days are near its end, you guys better try to get your hands on another passport and currency lol.
Scandinavian men taller than Americans: Agreed but marginally, like by 2-3 cm. If u strip out so-called Asian Americans and Latino/Hispanic Americans, this gap narrows to almost nil. And yes, the Dutch are even taller on average, like 2 cm above Scandinavians.
Scandinavia/W. Europe safer than USA: If you're talking about assaults and murder rate differences, then totally agreed. Facts and figures bear this out clearly.
(W. European) economy more stable and most are not yet jaded: ???? I really don't know what u mean by this, lol
Scandinavian men are cuter, smarter, more sincere, younger, blah blah, compared to American males seeking Asian gf/wife: Hmm. Perhaps. But did u get this impression from anecdotal evidence in the Phils or do u have more to back-it-up?
Just considering the age part, I really don't see that many older American guys in developed NE Asia as majority of Americans seem to be younger English teachers. As for Bangkok and Pattaya, I've probably seen more Scandinavian retirees than Americans. Ditto for Germans, Brits, Aussies, etc. But then there are fewer Americans in greater Bangkok than Germanic Euros and Aussies. Were u really talking about Asia or just Phils?
As for Phils, it does attract a big number of certain older American males and for good reason. It may be one of their best options if they r interested in dating young women. As another poster (Royaldude I think) stated after spending time in Phils, Peru, and Mexico, youth is a much more material contributor to dating success for men in the latter two countries than the former. I think that principal appliers to the bulk of countries vis-a-vis the Phils.
So European men in Phils tend to younger than their American counterparts or there a trend in this direction? Do u have any stats on this or is that your impression from personal experience, that of your friends, and/or general observation? So far, I've only noticed a higher percentages of younger foreign males within the Korean groups. But I've not spent much time in Phils so I could be way off base.
"US glory days are near its end": As far as this forum is concerned, that's very old news. You're pretty much preaching to the choir. Globetrotter and others used to pontificate on that theme in great detail. Even now, Taco frequently posts stuff to that effect backing it up with facts and figures. But nowadays, the focus is more on how bad American females and how their mangina bitches have corrupted the US and are spreading their poison all over the world.
I was referring to the US male dominance in terms of attracting asian girls (and by that I mean both from SEA and NEA, and currently still in asia).
I'm referring to a current study that involves some 500-600 college level/college grad asian females regarding mate choice (foreign men choice). I only have the partial analysis (only 500 or so from urban SEA and NEA, the other 80-100 not yet tabulated/taken in). I'm sorry I cannot post the results here at HA, as it is not my study to share, I'm just one of the peer reviewers. So far, american males are in the 7th (choices are caucasian dominated nationalities). Please take note the respondents are from 9 asian countries, are from urban area, are educated and are from female age group 18-26. I believe the US is still number 1 to the village/rural girls, so no biggie.
If you want stats, I can give you stats, just not here (reason stated above), and you may choose between partial or full analysis. I am not allowed to divulge more publicly. Also, there are 2 separate studies that supports the stuff I said (one is a year old and one is still on-going).
Maybe you will understand what I mean more when I have time to explain in detail every single sentence I said. I admit there was some room for misunderstanding on the way I divided paragraphs because it's difficult to type on a phone while standing on a moving vehicle and trying to hit enter before the page reloads and I lose all I've typed.

Do take into consideration the (various) contexts in which I said things I said (they are duly noted), thanks.
Also, let's not hi-jack the thread.
OK, I suppose u mean Asia = Phils and the context, in the parts not noted, is anecdotal experience within yr circles.
Original thread is dead as it was already hijacked twice over - first to US dollar/American empire in decline and then to European vs. American male pursuers of Asian/Pinay women. So unless Falcon has any lingering comments or ???s, I'll leave it as is.
But since yr. penultimate post piqued my curiosity, I may re-visit that topic later in a new thread to see what the PI hands have to say on it.
No, I did not mean only the Philippines, I think I have said 'asian' and 'SEA girls' on the first comment I made, if I meant only PI girls, I would have used the term pinay/filipina.
Are you sure you are not misinterpreting/reading too much into it? Anyways I can counter and nit pick your analysis/interpretation of what I said but I'm swamped for time (you know I'm on zombie week). I'll have to mimic momopi's response to winston and say you need to ask only a few things at a time or pay me a consultancy fee (JK) ahahah
As for the thread hi-jacking, I'm being overly conscious because for some reason, when I do participate in hi-jacking a thread, someone freaks out and yells 'feminist/troll' which ironically is only directed to me and seldom to any guy I am simply responding to. It does get old and is very off-putting. Okay, enough of the rant...this is becoming 'trolling' even on my dictionary lol.
