Also, it just doesn't make any sense: you're living here, reaping all the benefits and then complaining about how terrible it all is? Meanwhile there's places where people eat bowls of plain white rice for 2 meals a day, can't marry/date any person they choose, or watch open sewage run down the middle of the streets -- but yet, this is worse.

No, we're not perfect here, but neither is anywhere else.

I do agree with you that cali cali comes across as thinking if he goes 'somewhere else' he's going to somehow assimilate to that culture, where he should've been born in the first place or whatever, LOL. And those people that feel that way, really should move said places, because you can't have it both ways.

Well I agree with you on all the points here, and that's a big thing that bothers me.

What I was addressing with the blacks, was more about the black guys or black girls that come on here and say "I will only go for white people" or white people who come on here and say things like "only girls from Colombia will make good wives and all american women are horrible" those kind of people are the ones making excuses. They can't pick up a girl here in USA, so they blame it on their race.

Black people probably do go through more crap than whites if they live in a white dominated place, which is most of the USA. Now, I was a white guy living in Miami, which puts white people at probably one of the biggest minorities. Trust me, I delt with my fare share there, and probably on the same level that a lot of minorities here face. I don't let that get to me though, because I also met a lot of awesome people down there and I focused on that. That's all that I was trying to get across.

ohhhh okay. I see what you're saying. I agree those people that feel that way, aren't going to go anywhere else and have better luck with men or women then they have here. I don't beleive for a second if I moved to a city with a higher population of blacks/black men, I would somehow become hot and desired there, LOL. Sorry doesn't work like that, I don't think. Cali cali needs to move to those areas he thinks are so much better and then let us all know if it really did work out for him or not with the women there.

I also wonder if there's anyone on here that did just that and can claim the opposite, that it works?

Many of the men that say these things about one race of a woman or another, don't realize MANY women not included in those groups find that offensive and 'wrong,' to women in general, so it's not going to fly with most women.....yes, I understand you don't let all that get to you, living in Miami and being the 'minority' there, but like pear martini was saying you can't really say how it is for someone else. Things that don't affect you, doesn't mean the same for everyone else.

I seen for example, a lot of men saying they're tired of "american women and going to get themselves a Russian bride," LOL.

With the bolded, yes you'll see a lot of that because sex mongers will go to places like Colombia or Thailand and throw money at these women and pay for everything, the women will drain their pockets and treat them like kings. These guys will act like they are ladies men and brag about how wonderful the women are hahahah. Anyone other than that... is going to realize that women are women, regardless of race. If you don't treat them well, they're not going to want to be with you.

And once again, on your final paragraph, thank you hahahah. All of the international women that I've dated said it makes them sick when a guy approaches them and makes claims "all latinas are so hot" or anything along those lines. Most of them will laugh at those kind of guys. I was with a black girl for a little while, and some of the things white people say to her that they think are smooth is downright pathetic lol.

Wecome to C-D.

In the end though, I think you got your answers. Americans don't have a problem dating outside of their nationality. It is pretty normal here and we're filled with all different races. What you can do is move out of your small city to a larger city where anything and everything goes. If I were to live in a small city, my dating prospects would go way down also. The more people there are the better your chances. Racist people are idiots, so the people who are going to have problems with racism are people of different colors ie, if you are set on trying to pick up a black guy, you might see problems with racism. A white guy who is racist probably won't ahve a problem with you because you are also white. Racist people have thick skulls, I wouldn't worry about it... . I would think that being divorced with a kid would be a bigger drawback than being German. Not that it's a big deal..but in my opinion that seems like it'd hold you back more in a small city.

LOL. That is so true. Well they could get those women here too, they're called hookers.

I completely agree, I am a first generation immigrant although I came here at a fairly young age. I for one would never want to date or be with an American woman because of the fact that most of them have an entitlement mentality, believe in stereotypes and don't usually have an ability to judge a person individually, are arrogant, believe in fleecing your pockets to the end and are usually very complaining about life and everything it's got to offer.

I am a non White person and I have faced and still continue to face lesser respect, racist generalizations and racist jabs directed at me for being a non White immigrant. I have observed that American women on the other hand would be totally okay for dating a White immigrant who's from say, Eastern Europe or something like that.
