Doll, I was also speaking generally. My organization has about 85% foreign employees (myself included) so I hear similar complaints all the time.

As far as the original poster, I failed to mention that you might want to find a town that has many Germans living within it. I know around where I live there is a little Ukraine and you have to read/speak Ukrainian if you really want to get "inside" their community.

So basically you're ignorant, don't put any effort into meeting people from USA and then spout off stereotypes? Please, hurry out of here because you're not wanted.

It's funny how some people do great and other want to be unhappy.

It seems to me like you suffer from not knowing too much about anything outside of USA. Maybe try getting out of the country and see how you're treated by other nationalities. You'll see just how good USA is.

It may be a factor depending on your status in this country.

If you are on a visa then there may be some concern that you are seeking
a partner for marriage to facilitate your ability to stay here.

I would date someone not from the States, why not? But you're in a conservative region, sonia. You'd do best in CA or NYC, as someone already mentioned. What brought you to Alabama?

By the way, sonia, my niece has been living in Berlin for almost 3 years, and says she hasn't met any local guys. They seem very reserved. Other Germans she's spoken to say Berlin is like that, "the east" is generally like that. Do you have any suggestions or helpful info?

America be that way but honestly guys don't care what country a woman is from because they're all hornballs. Even tea party rednecks still ogle European women like Anna Kournikova and would brag to their buddies if they ever scored with one. Whatever the OPs problems are, its not her country of origin.
