because not everything is attributed to bad behavior just because it's foreign to them or people don't understand it.

Once I stressed to him that I need the money to pay my rent, he goes "You woman. Don't need to work."
What is he, a cave man?

I may have to change my number, because he seems a bit strange
So, you are saying that because of your one or two experiences, that ALL men from foreign lands must behave the same way. Right.

I've had lots of contact with foreign men, and many have a similar attitude. They also don't like listening to women.

OK, so this is over, right? Have you told him it's over and changed your phone number yet? What are you waiting for?

After you break it off, if stalking behavior ensues, keep a log of incidents, and notify the police.

I am not crazy about changing my number because so many important ppl have it. I dont feel like going out of my way. Maybe he'll get the message and leave me alone because I haven't been picking up the phone when he calls

You may have to bite the bullet and tell him it's over. But...whatever works. If the path of least resistance doesn't work, then you can consider taking it up a notch.

Well this thread has been an enlightening read... I'll have to be careful how I come across to people when I next visit the US, what with being a 'foreign' man myself.
