[QUOTE=Furysys]The rules here are so skewed that in many cases, in it far better to be a single mom in Canada then to be in a steady relationship. I cannot speak to other countries but here, a single mom with two kids receives benefits that would require a pre-tax income greater than $40k should she have to work for it. There are many other quirks in the tax system that create such a perverse incentive to remain single that a book was written several years ago called "13 reasons why Revenue Canada (our IRS), wants you to be married", listing some of the many benefits lost when in a relationship.
Yes, at some point single mothers should get some support from the state, but where does support end and incentive begin?[/QUOTE]In most Western nations its like this, America does not have the kind of welfare system in Europe but the courts do their job of making sure a single American mom gets her money. Most local Aussie women know they do not need a man to eat, that is why they behave the way they do, sure they are easier than AWs but they know they do not need you to have a roof over their head etc.

[QUOTE=D Cups]My Fellow Americans, A Proposal:
If you decide to marry an AW don't do it unless she is wealthy AND there is handsome DOWRY as part of the deal.
After all, look at all the bullshit you will have to put up with AND all the mongering you will be giving up. It is only fair. This is what they want to marry YOU for, yes? It's not called a dowry any more but essentially that's what it is. Turn the tables on theses connivers and see what happens~!![/QUOTE]Ok, lets assume she agrees to provide DOWRY. But what normal man would agree to give up his freedom for some stupid biyotch and her money? No way. One time I was introduced to a girl who was considered a very "lucrative" bride, her parents were working for famous accounting companies she had a good job too. In her country it was considered extremely cool and desirable. But she was not my type at all. I would prefer twice lighter and simpler girl even though she were without the DOWRY.

[QUOTE=DJ FourMoney]I personally don't wanna deal with blended family issues or step-parenting. ...It might sound selfish but I want my own children and I shouldn't be made to sound selfish.[/QUOTE]
No, you shouldn't. This is one aspect of your life where you definitely have a right, maybe even an obligation, to be selfish. It's the same for me with not wanting any more children of my own, and not wanting to take on someone else's younger children. I don't care if people think I'm selfish...it's a sacrifice I'm just not willing to make and if I *did*, it would make everyone miserable in the long run, especially the children. I wish you the very best of luck in your search, DJ. :)

[QUOTE=Dickhead]This is a poverty issue, not a single parent issue. There's a positive correlation between being a single parent and being poor, but which came first, the chicken or the egg?[/QUOTE]
I really want to comment on this, but it's only a matter of time before the 'You're off-topic again, beeotch!' flaming begins. :) I'm gonna respond to this (and the post from Furysys) in the American Politics thread.

Dowry?
Sorry, DC, and I truly don't want to argue, but from my persepective I see a fatal flaw in your proposal. It might not be fatal or even a flaw for you, though.
The American women I see, who I'd consider "eligible", consider themselves as The Ultimate Prize. They start out with no interest aaaa-tallll in the likes of me, though they might have their girlish crushes on some entertainer. They figure that it's their face and figure that should prompt others to open their bank vaults - not the other way around.
You may say that I'm setting my sights too high, and you're apt to be right. But here's the converse - girls as lovely and desirable are very much more available off of America's shores; else ISG would have no reason for being.

[QUOTE=D Cups]Agreed, GF. I was making the assumption that all the physical qualities were present and she is attractive/desirable/etc. For me, she's got to have pretty face, small waist and big tits or I lose interest real fast (.) (.)[/QUOTE]Ok, then maybe yes. But in that case she should be even better than what it is supposed to be. DOWRY would be in a way a disadvantage, like she is buying me. I do not want to hear after 20 years that she provided this and that. Of course there are types of guys who would like that. Have you seen that article about men marrying women who earn more, and those "men" do anything those women want, such as lick their pussies, etc. Just because the women provide for them. The simply lost their gender. Disgusting. I lost the link to the article.

I tried this on my last American girlfriend in front of her friends (of course left out the mongering part) and they all laughed even though I was dead serious. After all, she makes more money than me (plus gets alimony and child support from the ex) so why not? After dating for two years her friends were pressuring me to tie the knot but I just stuck to my guns. Eventually I broke it off because of her sexual conservatism (and low frequency); incessant materialism; and overall drama queen bullshit. Plus she was training her daughter to be another high maintenance beeotch.
I broke it off on July 4 five years ago now as a symbol of my own independence. It has been one of the best decisions of my life because now I travel the world for young lovelies half her age and weight and ten times the sexual appetite and kinkiness. Sure I pay for it but it's a lot cheaper than an AW and oh so much more FUN.
Guess who's laughing now at dowry nay-sayers?
Yours truly, of course![/QUOTE]Such a system will not happen in 21st Century America nor in any other Western nation. Marriage is pretty much not worth it, not just in the US, but its pretty much the same in Australia and other Western countries. Approximately 40 percent of the couples I see in Sydney tend to be a white male asian female and usually one who came from overseas, do you know why? They just do not want to put up with the bullshit of a local girl, also a local girl really does not need them as I explained in my previous posts. Its better in this case to remain single and go on punting but if you live in America this is difficult to do, America is a sex prison, oh Piper I know what I am talking about. In Sydney if I am horny I can walk into a brothel and get sex without any fuss, pay and then fuck. In the US, if you are horny your option is go the usual route of kissing some woman's ass for a while until she will fuck you or either go the illegal route of soliciting prostitutes there and that could wind up bad, you could get arrested, get ripped off, get your ass kicked by her pimp. Frankly speaking the Aussie system is better.

Yes, I see your point, Westy. The more they have the more they want. One of my ex-girlfriends was married twice before I met her and twice after. Even though she is built like a brick shithouse, gave good head, good looking, etc., AND has subsequently entered the seven-figure bracket with her own business, she has also become quite the needy and demanding type.

[QUOTE=D Cups]Yes, Man from Oz. Looks like we commiserate together... all the more reason to co-monger! :) I'd rather be in Oz than US; but rather be in PI than just about anywhere! Now if I can only find a busty Pinay! It looks like I will be paying for her boob job there.

I heard somewhere that only 25% od Americans have passports, and half of them actually use them. Seems even in good time we are happy with Yellowstone, NYC travel, ect. Really though most of us Americans cant afford to go anywhere anyway either. If not for my job, I would not have gone anywhere in life. Forty countries and counting. In Darwin now and PI in two weeks.

so true

And I am 1 of those 25%ers let them stay home they will only clog up the airports and ewwwww you're in Darwin it did suck there it was a sausage fest back in 2009 never again. Let's keep this our little secret I will keep telling them there is nothing but trouble out there just go to the Grand Canyon/Arizona so they can check to see if you are a legal resident. DAMN YOU rub it in my face PI :( seriously have fun for me bro.

Why???
I went to a singles event last night, an organized thing, and the women ranged from girls in their early 30s dressed up like it was prom to sort of biz casual broads in their 50s.
Anyway, I'm 40, never been married, which elicited a common question, "Why haven't you gotten married by now?"
I always explain I had a girl in college who didn't work out and then I moved around a lot, which is true. Life has been an adventure.
On the drive home, I wondered how they'd react if I posed a similar question: "So, what caused your marriage to end in failure?"
But no need to ask. If you get them on a date, they'll tell you all about it as you're paying the drink tab.
I used to dream of settling down and finding a partner for life. Now I mostly visualize what'd be like to get them doggy style.
-
I wonder what would have happened on the drive home if you hadn't given such a lame answer. Never allude to any ex- anything in a preliminary conversation like that. Even more I wonder how they knew to ask the question. If women ask me if I'm divorced, I say I am single. If women ask me if I've ever been married, I say I am single. If women ask me if I am gay, I say I am single. Well, I would, if one ever did.
Point being you need to work on your game because that whole question needs to be avoided, evaded, or just plain ducked for several dates, and certainly until after you've fucked them.
Two good rules are: 1) Never talk about any prior relationships before they fuck you, and 2) Never talk about any prior relationships after they fuck you.
Essentially STFU is the order of the day because every single piece of information you let slip about any previous woman can do you absolutely no good, but unimaginable amounts of harm.

The other 75% (actually 87%) of US citizens - those who don't travel - have their reasons and excuses; some good, some fearful, some lame.
Good reasons? The USA is a huge country, a tremendously diverse country, and you don't [i]have[/i] to board a plane to get to anything in the "lower 48". There's an awful lot to see, visit, and experience. I bought my "trailer yacht" to use as a caravan when it's not in the water sailing, just to use as a home-away-from-home for some extended USA tourism.
Fearful reasons? Global terrorism and the notion that USA citizens are special targets of "the mullahs". Stories of the red-shirt riots in Bangkok. Highly publicized murders, kidnappings and the like.
Lame reasons? The water, the food, "I can't speaka da language," they don't speak English, shakedowns from the cops or from Customs - that sort of shit.
Gunz, with forty countries stamped in your passport, you're aware of course that offshore travel can be a pain in the butt. If you have to rely on English-speaking "locals" to work with you, then you're probably aware of how much you aren't understanding of that country; if you [i]do[/i] speak the language, you had to put a lot of work into learning it. And you know that the USA is the Land of Instant Gratification - very few Americans are willing to put in the work to learn another language, even if it did open up the world for them. I'd bet that "87%" (non-travelers) don't speak any languages but English - well, probably a lot of them speak Spanish too - but, as I said, "they have their excuses."
I did a good lot of offshore travel in the last ten years of my career, though not as much as you have, Gunz. Now that I'm retired, I do want to see "the wonders of the USA" before I move offshore. But I also get in some foreign travel, such as my recent DR trip, partly for "research" in the quest for my One Particular Harbor - and partly to get it on with the chicas of the world, such as the girls at Blackbeard's. ;)
