When in Gaul when speaking to a Roman one must emulate a Roman..
[quote=cbgbconnisur]i was reading about a us expat living in the canary islands and how globalization is spreading a more affluent lifestyle to places few would suspect, with this expect women around the world to become more "americanized", .[/quote]forgive me isg gods for i have sinned. i promise not to to write bad things about france, frenchmen, and arabs any more when totally pissed.
gbgb: how confident are you that wealth and americanization are positively correlated? i think that mtv and opera do more americanizing than bill gates will ever do. yes, wealth expands the menu, but there are some things that many of us would simply choose not to order. many women find feminism silly.
i recently had an epiphany: foreign women will often try to act american when dating an american. this phonomenom is especially atrocious because these women develop their opinions about america from television and third hand embellished scuttlebutt from pals abroad who want to appear more affluent than they actually are to impress their friends. however, these women's impressions are preferable to the maestros of american culture who achieved their infinite knowledge about the “states” from a two week trip to new york city 10 years ago when they were 11.
two things happened two me recently which has caused me to believe this. a few days ago i brought home a girl from the 'club (disco) and she decided that she just wanted to cuddle. when i expressed my desires for a little head she refused. when i asked her why she came home with me if she didn’t want to give me some action she replied, "because in america the girl doesn’t have to have sex with the man until she wants to." i piped, "so if i was moldovan?" she replied, “oh no, i would never go home with a strange moldovan man at nite because he would expect [read take] sex." (in the vast majority of the world when a woman goes to a man's home alone--especially from a disco--he has the right to fuck her. [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] in ee means grabbing a gal off the street and beating her into submission...the guy can still get off is she was walking alone past 2400 dressed kinda skanky.) what was i to do with the 18 yo child? i rolled over and went to sleep.
two, my girlfriend has violated some unwritten rules in eastern europe: as long as the man takes care of her needs and is not too overt he can get side action & the woman takes care of all of the domestic responsibilities. most girls here don't care or don't really object to "one-nite relationships" with other women. i was hanging out with some strippers a few nights ago and gf called and figured out where i was and told me that if she "were an american girl i wouldn't treat her this way." later, when i noticed that my dishes were not washed i asked her if something was wrong? she replied," in america the relationship is like a partnership, not the man the chief and the woman just cook and clean all day."
other shit has happened as well.
i am convinced that foreign women, especially young ones, will often try and co-opt american behaviors when they are with an american.
Nice Guys Finish First In Latin America!
[QUOTE=Doctor_Skank] but over the years I have figured out that many (maybe even most) women are quite shallow in what they look for in men and that "being a nice guy" is a personality feature that one should apply with due caution, as for many women nice guys do finish last.[/QUOTE]
Dr. S.,
Your statement is true only in the US and other Western countries such as Canada or England. It is definitely NOT true in Colombia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, etc. Most Latin women get their fill of super macho Latin men as they grow up. When they hit adulthood and are looking for a serious mate, they mostly want nice guys. Some still want the womanizing macho man, but most want nice, stable, reliable guys they can start and raise a family with.
