CBGB's 180 degree turnaround
THEN
[QUOTE] After my years of travel I am happily living in the land down under in Sydney, Australia, and yes the women here are gorgeous. [/QUOTE]
NOW
[QUOTE] Per capita, most Anglo Aussie women are average, if you find a real looker here she is usually of Italian, Greek, or Lebanese origin. Europe this past summer was far better than anything in Oz as far as finding beautiful women both pro and non pro. I reside in Sydney and have been stuck here for the past 5 years. The city is beautiful but I don't think its women are as picturesque as the surroundings. Then again the South and the West of Sydney frankly are shitholes.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Hollywood and the English speaking (Mostly US) mass media's recent love affair with Australia seems to hype up the beauty of Australian women to a very unrealistic degree because outside of certain posh Sydney neighborhoods(as well as bits of the Gold Coast) I have yet to meet FHM or Zoo quality babes in fair numbers as I would see in continental Europe. Few Aussie women look like Elle McPherson, Nicole Kidman, or Naomi Watts. Most remind me of down under versions of Roseanne Barr. Continental European women have always been more attractive than their Anglo counterparts.[/QUOTE]
THEN
[QUOTE]Australian ladies have a number of advantages that make them better than European women. First, they speak English and for an American guy this makes it easy to socialize with them. They have British style sophistication and etiquette yet at the same time lack of the snootiness of British women and are very down to Earth. They are also very upbeat and very active, these girls love sports which is something rare for women. And most importantly they love sex and have sex appeal to keep a guy going. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]I nearly kissed the ground when I landed in Sydney, this place is beautiful and much safer than LA.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]I bought a gorgeous brand new property on the outskirts of Sydney near a beach area that costed me $150,000US with 2900sq ft. of living space, that amount couldn't get me a coop even 30 miles outside of Los Angeles. A property similar to the one I purchased would be ten times more expensive in LA. With regards to your statement that women everywhere want something out of a guy, this is true but in many countries women aren't as demanding as those in the US especially when you go to other developed countries with a similar standard of living like in Europe or here in Australia women aren't as materialistic. Also when I have traveled, going out to downtown areas, shopping centers, bars, nightclubs, basically places of public gathering I always see a lot of stunning everyday women doing everyday jobs. Good looking international women tend to be a lot more friendly the reasoning for this is that there are a lot more of them so they don't make a big deal out of themselves that and there aren't a lot of local guys that are rich.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]I bought a gigantic four bedroom home just outside Sydney for only $150,000US. Actually Sydney is expensive relative to other Australian cities but compared to New York or Los Angeles it is nothing like LA or New York. Apartments in downtown Sydney are generally more expensive than private homes in the outskirts.[/QUOTE]
NOW
[QUOTE]Australia is in no way a sex paradise, in fact its probably the worst country in the developed world for p4p, even the overpriced USA is better. Don't waste your time coming to Oz, its not worth the 23+ hour flight. I have had much better experiences with Kiwi women. Repeat don't visit Australia, it is a shithole. If you do get the chance to visit, if you notice all those anti-domestic violence ads, you will soon find out why Australia has such a big problem with this, Aussie women are C-U-N-T-S, you will have a greater urge to punch a woman in the face rather than get the urge to have sex with her, the personalities of the women here are that bad.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]I am from the US myself, used to think American women were bad but recently met a fellow American girl in Sydney a few weeks ago and realized how much better I get along with American girls than with Aussies.
I have a lot of Australian male friends, and from very lengthy conversations most have stated that Australia is no paradise for meeting women, men outnumber women in Oz btw.
Its not uncommon to see a fat wench in Oz with a fit guy.[/QUOTE]
THEN
[QUOTE]As for Australia a lot of American guys should really visit this country and see how the local Australian men treat the women here, its quite shocking, because despite the fact that Australian women are some of the most attractive and charming in the world, they are often treated harshly by the local Australian men. There is a lot of chauvinism down under and a more a guy from North America who is generally more gentlemanly towards women is going to do a lot better than the local Aussie guys. The other issue is the exoticism factor, where an American male accent will be seen as interesting, sexy, and exotic.
There is definitely a difference in the behavior of most Australian women versus their US counterparts. One of the biggest is that they don't ask what I do for a living, the car I drive, where I live, where I went to school, which are basically probing questions to determine my earning capacity. An American woman often sees a new guy as a potential piggy bank. I really don't see this attitude with Australian ladies in fact some women I have ran into here are turned off by greedy corporate types. Things that Australian ladies generally value more are personality, attitude, and looks. The Bondi Beach area though is the happy hunting ground for lovely ladies.[/QUOTE]

Not an attack, just an observation...

Dude, after compiling my research the conclusion is that: you can run away from the US and Oz, but you can never escape the mirror...
Is It So Wrong to Want A Man?
i thought i share this article with you guys:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
is it so wrong to want a man?
by christina bryza, sirens magazine. posted october 21, 2006.
i do not need a man. i do not need a man. i do not need a man.
i have a great job, financial independence (complete with debt), fantastic friends, a supportive family. my future is downright dazzling.
i do not, do not, do not need a man.
but man do i want one, and i am tired of feeling guilty for doing so. there is something about a male presence that is unlike any other comfort, and his absence is unsettling. i appreciate my roommates immensely, but they cannot salve the stresses of my day with a long, slow hug and a reassuring pat on the ass. my roommates will not pull me to the couch and rub my feet as we zone out to a basketball game. i do not watch sports when i am single. no one but my man can get away with tickling me, and he is the only one besides my teddy bear with whom i can cuddle at night. not to mention my vigorous sex drive and the fact that vibrators, while handy, cannot kiss.
i have gotten good at listing the reasons why i want a man. for years i have defended my choice to have boyfriends. my mother and sister have long observed—with a hint of accusation—that i always seem to have one. i used to object—i have rarely been in love. but when i look at the timeline, it is true that i tend to keep guys around: the total numbers in double digits. clearly, i prefer male companionship.
but why, dammit? i have been single now for a record two months, and i really wish i did not mind. i am a fully functioning adult. i am not looking to find myself in a man; i have already learned the futility of that endeavor. i have self-confidence, and i am not co-dependent. even if i were, i have roommates. i know i want to get married, but i am not anxious to do it soon. by all logic, there is no reason i cannot be happy and alone.
yet, at the end of the day, i still want a warm body next to (and inside of) me. i decided to find out why.
henry makow was a feminist in his first marriage, which was long before he started his website, [url]www.savethemales.ca[/url]. i found him while googling around, looking for intelligent posts regarding woman’s need for man. and while he’s got plenty of questionable beliefs—like, oh, that feminists are working for the government to destabilize society—makow is a doctor, in the sense that he got his ph.d. in english literature. the canada-based theorist has been writing for a long time, has taught at the university level, and he makes a good argument that my troublesome urges to play the role of sweet, loving girlfriend are right on target with the natural way of things. he says men and women are complements, and so it is no wonder i feel incomplete without mine. he believes it is only right that i should crave a man's comfort. happily settled in his third marriage, he is, obviously, no longer a feminist. but after a good, long chat with makow, i learned that conspiracy theorists can also make some excellent points (and also that phone calls to canada do not qualify for free nights and weekends).
despite his passionate anti-feminism, makow is by no means a misogynist. "women provide the intangible that makes life worth living," he tells me. (go on, i'm listening … ) the intangible to him includes qualities like love, beauty, laughter, and other stereotypical notions of the feminine spirit. yet i am flattered, because he is right. i can admit that it is generally the ladies who arrange the flowers, wear the flouncy skirts, and bat the eyelashes. and aside from those superficial "girl things," we know that guys need us—something about our womanly wiles turns them to mush behind closed doors. the power of my come-hither smile is exhilarating. i am proud of my femininity, and i was pleased to hear makow acknowledge its significance.
i was less pleased to acknowledge his accompanying assertion—that because women have such distinctive abilities in the realms of charm and domesticity, we should not be competing with our male counterparts in arenas like breadwinning. at heart, he says we desire a protector and a provider, and that is what men are for. simply put, the boys are supposed to take care of the girls. we like to be pampered, and they like to make us happy. (um … duh?) in his book, stern goes on to define a lot of what women are in the process of vehemently disproving: the idea that men are best suited to have power in the physical and social environment, and that women flourish in loving relationships (a thinly veiled suggestion that we belong barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen). i want to tell makow that he is wrong, wrong, wrong. i am well-suited to have a career, and not a woman i know would be content to bake cookies all day. well, maybe one woman, but she really, really likes cookies.
before i can interject, makow continues: "women balance men." if women let men fulfill their roles as providers and protectors, men will make us feel safe and loved. in return, our safe-and-loved selves will be content, cheerful and productive. this harmony between man and woman does not necessitate strict gender roles, says makow. in his marriage, he does the cooking and she mows the lawn. i take this to mean it is okay to keep my job as long as i do not brag about making more money than my theoretical boyfriend. the key, he says, is to respect our instinctive strengths.
sure, he’s a little out there. but at a gut level, i not only understand his logic—i agree with it.
but i needed proof beyond some canadian who launched a website to espouse his ultra-traditional views. so i tracked down evolutionary biologist jay phelan. he would say that i agree with makow at a gut level because of the dna in my gut. when he told me that my desire for a boyfriend was "fairly unavoidable," i had to slap my hand over my mouth to keep from screeching in triumph. even so, i pumped my free fist up and down, and for the rest of the day sporadically muttered, "i knew it!" phelan is a doctor, in the sense that he received his ph.d. in biology from harvard in 1995. he is a biology professor at ucla, and he specializes in evolutionary genetics. he would perhaps find fault with makow's beliefs. but he does agree that many of our natural desires pre-date modern society.
whether you want children or not, your body is wired to bear them. and success, in evolutionary terms, is defined by your ability to produce offspring and raise them to reproductive age. personally, i would have been one hell of a success as a cave woman, but my urges to carry the children of every man i date seem out of place in the 21st century. eventually, however, i will need a man to have kids. (preferably, a respectful, high-earning, laugh-loving man who will not ditch me when my tits start to sag.) so maybe that solves the puzzle for me: i crave a man because my reproductive organs quiver every time i see a stroller. but there are plenty of women who want men, yet do not want to sacrifice their minds, bodies and bank accounts to offspring. so what gives?
sex gives. it gives, and gives, and gives, and we all want to get laid. turns out, you do not need to want kids to have this urge (again, duh). as phelan explains, "the biggest factor in accounting for the 'need' women feel for men (and vice versa), even when it would seem that they oughtn't 'need' them, is the fact that our brains and emotions evolved in a world that was different from today's modern world." (take that, maureen dowd.)
what worked then, works now, no matter how much we wish otherwise.
i am not a doctor. i have gotten pretty good at healing my heart, but that is about it. what i heard from makow and phelan confirmed the lessons my heart has already learned: i want to be loved, and i want to be laid. two guys, telling me why i feel like a girl. so what do my female peers have to say? some women find it traitorous for me to verbalize these desires. i am encouraged to plan my career: i get enthusiastic approval when i outline professional goals. but mention marriage, i.e., my long-term plan for being loved and laid, and it is rolled eyes all around.
why don’t these bitches want me to be happy? perhaps they lack the pesky genes that push me onto craigslist, or maybe they buy the idea that professional success can be as fulfilling as raising a family. i don’t know.
what i do know is that i need a man. maybe not yet — maybe now i merely want him. but it is only a matter of time till the need kicks in, and there should be no shame in a need that is natural.
christina bryza moved from texas to write and live in new york city, where no one is supposed to need anyone.
Retards come to China too
Lots of older guys who are losers in America come to China to find girls and then a wife. Many American guys are gentlemen but some are not normal. They are older, never had married, don't shave and can be rough. They come to China and want different girls every night. Sometimes they treat the girls very bad. Sometimed they think they can treat girl bad because they pay.
After having sex with lots of girls, then they decide to find a wife and go on internet, choose 10, then 5, then spend a week with each one then choose winner to be his wife. Some guys are nice, some are buying a poor girl. A sixty five year old guy married a 22 year old girl, which he could never do in America.
I met a nice 22 American girl in a bar, she is a student. She hates the American boy students because they get so many Chinese girls chasing them, they act arrogant and make the American girls feel bad. Many of these guys are like retards but they treat girls vey badly.
