And I am just pointing out how hypocritical you are being. Maybe you are the one that is being sensitive.
This is an internet forum. It is what it is.

Its also landing on 30 something career women something awful because the 20 something man does not have the resources and there is plenty of demand for the 20 something year olds. Its the better 30 and 40 year old men that are being siphoned off who now seem more likely to find things outside the local area, even in another state.They also seem more likely to go younger. These are the marrying kind as well. I was at 35.

I really worry about some career women here putting off marriage until the 30s. Some of these women will not find the best men willing to settle with them, boy friends yes, but marriage will be more difficult. Most women's dating capital is highest in her 20s and she fails to understand her market value at 32 is nowhere near as high as 27. They will also not drop the price to move the goods. That is not in human nature. I really want women to think about what they want and plan accordingly. I don't like unhappy women. I feel nothing good about it. I like to see their beautiful smiles. Having it all is tough.
Anytime one of these American men seeking international women threads comes up there is always some American women that drop in and make all sorts of defensive comments. I think I've already been blasted in this thread IRC.

But if the shoe fits.... If it doesn't then as a singular American woman they have nothing to worry about. Clearly it strikes a nerve when they lash out in venom and that tells me I'm on target with my comments and experiences.

Globalization and mobility has opened up the world and if it's a tough market here, why not go elsewhere? I can get on a plane tomorrow night and fly out of Philadelphia to anywhere in Europe for nearly the same cost to fly to Los Angeles. I don't need to be hamstrung by whats on offer here.

Personally I'm very open to American women and I give them a try but ultimately I have found a lot of nice ladies overseas. I'm not closing myself off to Americans, but I'm not restricting myself to that either.

Perusing the dating websites is a good indication of what is out there as you say they aren't dropping the price to move the goods. Just in some of these profiles it's quite shocking at the long laundry list of things they expect to have in a man. To me if it's that bad and I don't even know them, then they really have to be shocking to live with. As they age they further write themselves out of existence.

I don't think we are being defensive. We are having fun at your expense. We find small-minded men very, very entertaining.

Default The comment was racist. You can't have it both ways.

Now this thread is starting to lose all credibility, because the OP (while making decent money overseas) seems to lack emotional intelligence.
Maybe that will explain your problems.

Magnolia Thunder is right that many American women are independent and do not want to be dependent on men, etc... even if that is a trait more common amongst women over the age of 30.

MT said many women not ALL women.

MT also says that many males are insecure around independent women - this is totally true. Many not all. (I'm a guy who seeks out independence as I don't want the responsibility of catering to the insecurities and self-esteem problems of dependent women).

Magolia Thunder did make a slight error when talking about curvy bodies, and that's where I think you interpreted the so-called "racism".
So many women from so many different cultures have curves, and are very sexy. This is not solely the domain of American women. I can rattle off a list of countries who have just as many beautiful and sexy girls as the US. If anything, many American women need a lesson on how to dress attractively to show off those curves. The comment about Asian girls looking like 12 year old girls also stained otherwise sensible comments...probably an emotional retort that if MT just hung out in the Tokyo airport for a few hours, MT would understand that not all Asian girls look like 12 year olds.

But it's hardly racist...it's a combination of emotional irrationalism and ignorance. But overall the post was acceptable, and shouldn't be deleted on the grounds of racism, LOL.
Asians do two things better than anyone. Cars and women.
They're dependable, look great and will run for a lifetime if cared for.
Besides, western women have better things to do.
Something about fish and bicycles.

And a word of advice for you that disagree with the OP, let the bitterness go. Life is to short.

I agree, I don't see why people are choosing to take offense to what i'm saying. After all, I know that a good 20 or 25% of the American women are not the way I described. I know lots of American people who do not fit into the stereotypes. After all, I am an American myself so I am simply talking about my own culture.

The people who are taking offense to this are obviously the very people that I am describing and they know it.

See now that's a good attitude! If all American women were like you, I would move back to America and get a dozen wives.

But as you can see in this thread, most US women will lash out and growl like a monster instead of letting it roll and shakin' it loose.
