The British accent works for you in virtually all cases, I'm sure .. and the weight does work against you mostly.

Because?..........

Like I previously mentioned in another thread. There are lots of hot women in Europe-especially East-but those women need to be having sex with a hot guy because thats what it takes to create a hot girl.

Now dating might be easier for a foreigner.....so long as you spend money and look good.

Not quite, it depends on where you go.

Japan, Brazil, China, Phillipines and other parts of latin America.

Global statistics seem to be mimicking the US as far as gender differences go, tho, the US is fatter. There are roughly 10% more over weight men in the US and world wide.

High Numbers Of Men And Women Are Overweight, Obese And Have Abdominal Fat, Worldwide


So, fit American women are really losing out here simply because there are more of them. While I can't personally relate, men are lucky that women take less of an issue with weight. US men largely fit a specific demographic. They are not only overweight, but they are average or below average when it comes to status (education, culture, career, etc). The assertions that thin, beautiful foreign women will be knocking down the doors of these men is pie in the sky stuff. Gwyn is a perfect example of a man that does not fit this demographic. His wife is foreign born, beautiful, etc. He is not overweight (based on pics I've seen). He is educated and he has shyte together.


The other side of the coin will consist of those shlepts whining over the consequences of taking on mail order brides who in turn take them to the cleaners.

Hi Braunwyn,

That does not surprise me. I think men who are overweight get away with it and see it impacting their social life only until they are really unwieldy. Women on the other hand seem to be at more of a fork in the road. So when women are overweight, they try to resist until it seems hopeless. In other words, decision time to do something about it comes sooner because it impacts them sooner. Once a woman is well over weight, what difference does it make? Kill 10, kill a 100, you are doing a life sentence.

You are correct. It only represents an opportunity for an individual; its not going to impact the body at large, pun intended. There is no way they could be imported in enough numbers. Many men don't even have the ambition and/or money since you actually have to go get a passport, fly somewhere you don't know, and learn a language or two to do it right. Some can go on those guided tours, but that would be better spent trying not to act like an idiot and just find them like any other girl.


The bottom line is you can get something better, if you have something to offer. It works sort of like leverage. Say you drive a 100 miles to go to the factory outlet. How much money will you save if you have no money? Its pointless. Say you have a $1000. In that case, you might get $1500 than if you went retail. However, you need to have some money. If you have a buck, you can get a buck and a half and not even pay for gas.

Higher value people often get out of the neighborhood. You think Cindy Crawford is going to find a match in Dekalb, IL? How much will Van Ghoh's sunflowers go for at auction in Bad Axe Michigan? In the middle, there is usually no similar return on arbitrage. What a loser she was not able to find a boy friend in her home town eh? "What's wrong with her" says the local yokel. In my suburban hell hole, I can tell you there was nothing.

Huge age gaps, buying their way in, and people that do not look like a couple does not work. I have seen these fail. My wife's friend is now in Luxembourg, married to a Serbian millionaire who was pretty high in the government. He saw her picture, flew there and knocked on her door and more or less said "lets go". I met him and he is not even close to a loser; try power broker. In my neighborhood a 25 year age gap, where he also acted like a boob, failed. Next door is another marriage not working out. She is fat, and he is a normal weight. I sense a pattern I call "mismatch".


The only real impact could be porn tech. I think it is a little easier to aim for the male dopamine channels with such media. That will likely only impact the female omega class for some time, say the bottom third. Japan seems to be a trend leader with grass eaters...However there will be a creeping pressure perhaps... Once women can walk into a romance novel, they can catch up. Then, we can finally solve the problem and go extinct.

As for me, when I sat next to a Ukrainian girl in a classroom, well before I was prepared to start dating again being rather busy with a career change and family disasters, I still could not get it out of my mind. FSU women are smoking; every man I have talked who has been there like I have, agrees. I also remember the blast I had with a German Au Paire. Best of all is the great personality she has. I am not dumb enough to find just the hottest man killer I can find.


Its also quite apparent to me why your relationships will tend to work.

Even today flaking is an epidemic. Over the past 6 months i've been going out a lot. Even if I make out with a girl and she gives me her number I still had a high flake rate.

Flaking is basically when a girl (or guy) goes ghost after the initial contact. From Urban dictonary: to be unreliable, and/or absent-minded, flighty, fickle. Generally unresponsible. A person who uses inaccurate excuses to mask thier non appearance to events, person who says one thing but does another.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Ladies, do guys flake on you? Do you find this a problem as well?

Edit: but as girls fatten up so should men, so an equal ammount of many should dissapear from the competition, at least if women give a damn about not sleeping with a blob of pork.

Its crazy out there for the single men. There's a lot of competition out there especially with the rise of online dating. For every 1 attractive female there seems to be 50 guys trying to get her.

But on a positive note: Staying in shape should pay HUGE dividends in the future. With the increase in in obesity a fit body will be highly sought after.
Yeah, I made out with a girl last night, called her, no answer, sent a text, still no answer after 2 hours...
Considering how girls our age usually live half their lives on the phone, I'm fairly sure she just flaked me :P
At least last night was fun....

Only very stupid American men truly believe dating someone from overseas is any better. Many foreign cultures appear nicer but scratch the surface and you'll find people are people.

The real issue here is that some men just can't get a nice woman because they themselves are substandard.
