Would you be willing to put him in school, get him a car, provide, send money to his family whenever there was an opportunity, etc.? These are things men do normally when they marry women from 3rd world countries.

I know a lot of people who were born and raised in 3rd world countries and they are doing very well for themselves in the states, this post sounds like you thing immigrant from 3rd world country=unsuccessful in the states

Until they come here, and get the green card. Then they divorce. I have seen it many times.

Aww, well, ask Fillipino men what women want from American men...they will tell you....a ticket to the US, or what you can buy them.

bottom line, if you are not lazy or if you are not poor back home (and I lived there for 22 years) you do not have to sell yourself either by becoming a sex worker or a mail ordered bride.

But not everyone is lucky. Some people have to get ahead anyway they can. Once they come here and legally they can make money without a man, things change.

Wow, generalization much, my team lead is a Filipino lady who married a White guy back in 1983, they are still going strong, have a son who's 28 and married and a daughter who's 27 and going to med school, I would want to show your insightful post to her.

If that's all they want, why would any Filipino woman show interest in me, knowing fully well that I am not American, it's beyond the understanding of most women in this thread that those women can provide everything to a caring and loyal man irrespective of his American or non American status, and the best thing they can provide is love, which most American women don't provide these days to their men.

It isn't going to fly, and you will have one angry woman on your hands.
The Japanese women I’ve had a relationship with or dated while living in Japan didn’t have a dying desire to move to the USA. Same with other asian countries I have visited or lived at. Many rather stay at their country than go to a country where they can't speak the language or be close to their people. And then you have those you mention of course.

Like I said, there are things Asian women can do just fine and happy that western women would just find it insulting, wrong, inappropriate, against traditions, etc. Other things Asian women might not consider appropriate to do while western women find it normal. Every culture has its thing. I happen to prefer Asian women. Still, I go out with western women regardless. Heck, I will be going out with a Mexican girl tonight and on Sunday. No problem.

Nope. The poster was saying something about not having a problem being with a man from a 3rd world country. So I asked what you read and that’s when she agreed that she wouldn’t really want to take care of a man the same way men normally take care of women. I somehow expected that answer.
