LOL.
When you say "american" do you mean white?

I have a feeling that maybe you are trying to bag those rich, preppy wasps. These women aren't really known for dating foreigners.

I'm thinking of the women I know ... my sister? No, she's very sweet. My cousins? Well, one of them is a mess, but the others are nice. One of them in particular is one of the kindest, happiest women I know, just like her mother, who is a nun now. My mom is pretty great, and my grandmothers.

How about my friends? No, they are all kind, smart, funny women, which is why they are my friends. I don't like mean, manipulative, bitchy women so I am not friends with them.

Let's see ... my neighbors? I did post about one of them I don't like much, but the others I know seem very nice. They all have husbands and go do happy suburban things. Our kids' pediatrician lives up the street, and his wife is super nice. I never see any of them berating their husbands or disrespecting them. I don't know how they are behind closed doors, of course.

The women I work with? I can't recall any of the ones I know talking trash about men or their exes or their husbands. Sure, there might be the off-color joke now and then, but nothing different from what I hear from guys from time to time.

What about me? I get up at 5:30 every day to make my husband coffee, pack his lunch (two sandwiches, fruit, yogurt and granola, in different combinations every day), and start his car. He gets dressed in the clothes I wash for him and leaves for work, and at that time I get the children ready for school. I cook for him every day and do most of the housework. My husband is very well taken care of, and you will never hear me say anything unkind or disrespectful about him, ever.

So now you know there are women out there who are not like what you have experienced.
Most of the experiences I have had and I have seen were from people in the bars/pubs, university students, and online on websites.

No, they are very nice, actually, there are like very few women where I work, 3 women to 7 men, also, they are middle aged women, 35 and upwards with children and stuff, but they are very nice respectful people, I only find shallow people in universities(although its surprising) and in pubs/bars, etc etc.

Also I work in a research lab, I don't usually have a lot of social time and so on, I work odd hours, often mostly very late into the night since I like working at nights, so work is not a place for socializing for me.

I somehow find most of them quite awkward and very demanding, I dated one of them for like 5 months before we broke up, briefly used to chat with one online before she decided to cut communication, I don't find most of them appealing because they try to act what they aren't, they are usually very white washed and look down upon people that have come after them, they think it's cool to insult and talk trash about people coming from the old country, and most of them think they are entitled solely to living here. Most of their views don't correspond with mine.

I am pretty sure I can find a nice foreign bride who respect a man for his achievements in life and personality than his wallet or what her friends think is cool for her.
Meh, for a PhD I find it really amazing that you can generalize American women in such a way with your limited dataset. But then again, a lot of PhD men are isolated in this weird social environment where they become averse to white women for some odd reason, and gravitate towards Asian women or other races. Usually the subset of these men have a hard time getting ANY date at all, so I'm not sure if it is their general bitterness which clouds their judgment. I also know a lot of foreign PhD men who prefer American women and find them alluring/interesting - and these men do get plenty of dates. So far nobody's given a convincing reason why American women are inferior if they have the same cultural beliefs, education, and background.

And no, not all foreign PhDs can stay in the country and get their greencard. Some do struggle. That's not to say they need an American woman but you seem to paint such a rosy picture of our research institutions and opportunities after a PhD.

Sorry headhunter but it is my impression your culture and the muslim culture do not concede the same freedoms to women as it is in the West. If you understand freedom of speech you would understand all those women you find so inferior shallow and etc, have the right to tell you how the feel about you. Even if it is an stereotype.

The law of the land protects their rights. However, it escapes common sense that such a smart man would stay in a place where people treats him in such a poorly manner.
