You've seen how bad divorce is in this country. Women in this country marry only for the benefits. For example, wife cheats and the couple gets divorced. Wife gets $$$. Wife beats husband to death and claims for self defense. Makes husband like an alcoholic wife beater. You get the picture.

Yes, there's a high divorce rate. And yes, there are great women out there. But, the good women are hidden behind the horrible ones which means that you'd be done with the relationships drama before the next one is finally the good one.

I don't want to get shot down over and over again. It would feel like I'm in some kind of an Air Force pilot training video. Good thing we have the internet or else I'm screwed.

You need to stop watching reality TV. It's not representative of reality. It's designed to boost ratings. It's like watching a train wreck.

WOMEN in this country to NOT marry only for the benefits. Do some? Sure. Do ALL women? Not even close. Beating someone to death and claiming self defense? What the hell are you watching?

Turn off the TV. Step away from the computer. Go get some actual life experience and talk to us in a few years.

You seem to be oblivious to reality, so I'll post my POV on this topic again, which I probably posted within the last few years.

Bring over the chick from Russia, Philippines or Thailand, and they will Americanize on you in a "New York minute," and their "comparative" insecurity and lower self-esteem throws them into a tirade of "conspicuous consumption" and "making up for lost time." Then, you have money out the door for expensive phone bills and airfare to this country you may not give a damn about and with which you will never bond. The, you find yourself divorced, and soaked, from a foreign woman who was just a "surrogate" for the fact that you wanted an American woman all along. Got it?

I don't even watch reality TV. It's pure garbage. I'm not the one brainwashed by media. It's a ton of ladies who are brainwashed by TV.

Let us know how it works out for YOU.

I can counter that story with one of my own, so it is irrelevant.

As I said in the other thread, it will never end.

Nothing like a teenager who can't get a date telling the grown-ups what marriage is "really like".

Why all this hatred of women? Geez... Whatever it is that has turned you into this sourpuss - step away from it! Does all this have to do with your parents or something? If so - this is understandable. If not - then seriously - go get some actual experience with the opposite sex instead of basing it off who knows what!

I've known people who've been divorced and how it ruined their lives.
