I don't really buy into the gold digger thing. It makes no sense.

American men are just suckers...that's all. They're so quick to lavish women with 'stuff' and so eager to show off how they can take care of the woman that they make fools of themselves in the process. If guys weren't always trying to show off what money they have by showering trinkets on women, the women would have no expectations to get it...and the whole gold digging thing would be a non-issue.

Guys just can't keep their money in their pockets at the sight of a pretty woman (not speaking for myself...I give up NOTHING), but they them complain about the greediness of American women.

Serves 'em right. These chicks SHOULD take you for all you've got if you're just bound and determined to be a fool.

Not really. That phenomenon has always been overestimated.

Black men overwhelmingly prefer black women.

speaking as an American woman, I can honestly say I don't see this either. My husband didn't win me over with anything that he bought me. he won me over because we had fun together and I saw him as a descent, goal oriented, and responsible person. sure, he paid most of the time we dated, but that makes him old fashion and a gentleman, not foolish.

Yep. Both of the Russian brides I knew were cheating on the guy and divorced after the anchor baby.

The documentary should be about how old white guys with some degree of cash send away for brides from foreign countries where the women are willing to make "a deal" to get to the USA.

It's thus extremely misleading that your typical white guy is attracted to asian women out of some sort of expectation of subservience. (Ahem, "Tiger Mom" anybody? )

Yeah whatever you gotta tell yourself to make yourself feel better.
Consenting adults, no laws broken, better to worry about something important.

Start a prostitution thread and you'll see the same suspects.
Why are you equating Asian women marrying White men to prostitutes? And why are middle aged White women supposed to be "threatened"?

Most White men marry White women.

So, why the hatred towards Mexicans? Can you explain?

Or will you further dodge the question?
Do you go through the threads and point out hate toward white people?

I was just responding to your ridiculous gold digger comment. I see you have nothing more to say about that. I really don't care if these old,white men play themselves. I don't want them. they're not the only people marrying for the wrong reasons in this country. the high divorce rate tells us that.

That said, I don't have any real racial preference, although aesthetically, i generally find black women to be most appealing. That's probably innate.

But I've never been quite shallow enough (though I am somewhat shallow) to choose a mate based on pulchritude. Not my style. And I've always been open minded racially.

Still though, I've got nothing against people standing firm on the idea of marrying only within their own race.
