You made 145 post and at least 140 of them have been nothing but bashing AW.
AW must have broke your heart and spirit bad to make you hate them that much. You've made it a mission.

"Appealing to spouse-hunters has become quite a business in Japan, where marriage rates have plummeted in recent years."
"Government data show the percentage of unmarried people surged from 14% to 47% for men aged 30 to 34 and from 8% to 32% for women over the three decades ending in 2005."
"Experts say that in tough times, single women feel an urgency to get married for financial stability, while men tend to put off marriage until they feel they can afford it. "
"Yuriko Akamatsu, a 35-year-old office worker, has attended two matchmaking parties in the past six months. "I want to get married because I sometimes feel like quitting my job," said Ms. Akamatsu, who didn't find Mr. Right at either party. "Marriage is like permanent employment.""
what's this "i hate america" stuff illogic? you drinking some of that neo conservative grape kool-aid?
not supporting america's imperialistic aspirations is not anti-american.
that's all dh was saying...
the rest of it -
you must have yellow fever because you constantly focus on pi and compare its women with others around the world. when clearly pi has some trappings of western culture, it also has extreme poverty and hardly any middle class.
if you still have to work by choice while living in pi, you are not rich by any stretch when 1,000's of american's live well of fixed incomes in pi.
anyway i don't see how you can compared women in pi with american women when the dynamics are not the same. i would dare say that flips have no fascination with african-american men on home turf, you would have more success in western europe, eastern europe, canada or south america than many asian countries.
if your trying to balance low cost lifestyle with nice looking women, i think pi is on the bottom of the list unless like i said you have a thang for asian women....
you can't say with a straight face (maybe you can) that america is great, when its just so-so and unless we do a 180, will be the largest 3rd world country on the planet.
"I am always in the dodgy neighbhorhoods or bar areas. That is where you find *****s right?"
Maybe where [b]you [/b] live. I, on the other hand, don't [b]need[/b] to go to dodgy areas to find hookers as this is why the good lord created "privados" and "boliches" which in my neck of the woods are found in all areas, not just "dodgy" ones. In fact I now live in the wealthiest barrio of Buenos Aires (Recoleta) and it's chock full of hookers.
That's right Daddy Illogic Bigbucks. I can live in the wealthiest neighborhood in the city on $2000 Yew Ess a month while getting more ass than a toilet seat. It rocks.

i am last one to wave the american the flag and say its the greatest thing on earth however i have been to a few other countries and so far i have not seen anything that i can say is better overall. when i do i will let you know.

you don't have to support but do you have to bash the people and the country daily?

have you ever been to the philippines? i compare pi to other countries because it is where i have lived the longest compared to other countries so its pretty much what i have to go on. has nothing to do with me having yellow fever.
the philippines does have a middle class and while that middle class is small it does have also pi has is an elite group that hangs out and lives in certain areas. that all but makes up for their miniature middle class. these elites bank accounts will blow the average middle class american away. anyway i don't know what pi classes has to do with me having asian fever. do you have jungle fever? since you always talking about white broads? i like what i like.
[quote=dj fourmoney] if you still have to work by choice while living in pi, you are not rich by any stretch when 1,000's of american's live well of fixed incomes in pi..[/quote]
i have never said i was rich show me one quote where i said i was rich i said i earn six-figures. this rich stuff is something dh has conjured up in his head.
most americans living in pi our retired old men. i am in my 20s and i will retire into my early 30s. i could retire now if i wanted to but i would have to budget very carefully and i don't want to do that. there is still money to be made. i don't want to be like some guys here on this board working while i am in my 50s and beyond because i tried to retire to early.
[quote=dj fourmoney] anyway i don't see how you can compared women in pi with american women when the dynamics are not the same..[/quote]
guys have compared all type of women on this board with american women. various asians, africans, europeans etc. non of the dynamics are the same if they were you guys wouldn't have much to talk about on this board.
[quote=dj fourmoney] i would dare say that flips have no fascination with african-american men on home turf, you would have more success in western europe, eastern europe, canada or south america than many asian countries..[/quote]
i guess you are right here. filipinos are not so high on the brothers but as i stated i didn't move here by choice. i kind of ended up here and just settled. now i am just too rooted down.... multiple real-estate possessions, a vehicle etc...i have also just got used to the lifestyle.
if i did choose to live somewhere right about now i would be in my own damn country and just take trips aboard when i got bored. living in a foreign country is not all good by no stretch of the imagination and anyone who tells you otherwise is full of shit.
[quote=dj fourmoney] if your trying to balance low cost lifestyle with nice looking women, i think pi is on the bottom of the list unless like i said you have a thang for asian women.....[/quote]
you are "talking out of ass.
the philippines has some of the most beautiful women in the world depending on a personal taste any wonder why men around the globe flock there to party. it is also one of the cheapest places to live as long you get out of manila. i like women in general..... have you read any of my reports from dubai?
[quote=dj fourmoney] you can't say with a straight face (maybe you can) that america is great, when its just so-so and unless we do a 180, will be the largest 3rd world country on the planet.[/quote]
america is in no danger of becoming a third world country. i live in one and america is not even close.
dj with all due respect you been taking shots at me the last few post i have been trying to give you the benefit of the doubt...one because you are a brother as myself and second because you make no damn sense at all.
i have defended you countless times on this board and now you attack me in defense of this psychopath. your posts are based on nothing but assumptions and your perceived image of me. you and your son make no sense when debating unlike choca monger posts he makes you reflect but when you dh post i am always left wondering what fuck is going on :confused:

i am happy for you dh. in pi $2000 "in rent only" would get you into the high-so places. you seem so proud you live next door to *****houses :confused: :d
i see after dj you finally the got the courage to respond to my post. :)
who's going to be the next contestant?
"I said I earn six-figures."
"I am in my 20s and I will retire into my early 30s. I could retire now if I wanted to."
Boy, you and I both picked very appropriate screen names (referring to your latest one anyway)
So let's do multiple choice:
a) anyone who makes six figures (over $100k US per year) is rich.
b) anyone who can retire and isn't even 30 is rich.
c) anyone who both makes six figures and has enough to retire is rich.
d) anyone who makes six figures, has enough to retire on, and lives in a gated community is rich.
e) all of the above.
I'm rich too, by any kind of reasonable world-wide standard, and I'd probably be richer if I just took the best-paying job without considering the [b]morality and social value of what I am doing[/b].
DJ, bro, you all set to retire? You making six figures?
Nah, me neither.
"I wouldn't call myself successful."
"A guy who comes from nothing and becomes rich is not sucessful?"
Dude, so are you successful or not? But no; someone who comes from nothing and becomes rich is only successful if they are happy. Look at Michael "I hate myself so much I had to get my skin bleached" Jackson. Look at Mike "I'm a disgwace and I'm gonna wetire" Tyson. Money don't buy happiness although of course poverty doesn't prove much either.
I'm making much less money than I did in Yew Ess and I'm much less successful career-wise (job's a total dead end) but I am much happier than I was living in the Yew Ess. Success!
I never said it would happen overnight, but we are getting closer and closer to a majority working poor class of people. It used to be you could do quite alright on 30K a year total, one job, one wife and two children.
Do I have Jungle Fever? I guess you could say that, Latinas don't like me (locally) for whatever reason and if you have been in LA or any other place with large population of Black Women you know good and well, the best looking ones are far from a dime a dozen.
I like ass and titties and those are hard to find on Asian women. If I loved petite women maybe I might be more into Asian women.
Personal attack? Strongly worded maybe but I didn't mean anything personal per say.
As for PI a co-worker of mine is Flip and we talk about "back home" quite a bit. He's visited home (Cebu) in the last 5 years and has lived full time in the US for 13 years. I have a fair idea what daily life is like back in PI, though it doesn't replace living there, you got me there but I never claimed to know every nut and bolt about PI.
DH I'm about as far away from retirement as I am to getting married. To retire and maintain a modern by US standards, standard of living, I would need at least a 401k and I cashed that out year's ago.
I hope to retire by 50, I got 11 years.....

I agree with this... Poor from Rich takes more adjustment than Middle-Class to Rich, there isn't as big of a difference in lifestyle.
I'm trying to adjust my plan to get in more traveling since some are starting to complain I talk too much and not fuck enough, care to host me DH? lol
[QUOTE=DJ FourMoney]I never said it would happen overnight, but we are getting closer and closer to a majority working poor class of people. It used to be you could do quite alright on 30K a year total, one job, one wife and two children.
[/QUOTE]You might still be able to do OK on $30 per annum if you are careful. I don't know what time you are talking about that it was so easy to make it, though. Perhaps in the 1970s? But since you are predicting that we are getting closer to a majority of working class poor people, could you please give me (1) an idea of the rate at which we are moving and (2) this is based on which metric? The only reason I bring up this point is that I am now just in the middle of reading a great book on "The Tyranny of Numbers" that talks about how when people are making an assertion, they can't even be bothered to look up what they are asserting-- and even if they do, the numbers are just as likely to be incorrect as not.
Can you also let me know what are America's "Imperialistic Aspirations"? ("Imperialist" has to be one of the top 10 most misused words in the English language. Some of the others are "fascist" and "theory," but let's not get into that.)
First would like to apologize to DJ4M and DH and the American Women board for there is a better way to debate than without shooting off personal insults. I am emotional dude and I shoot from the hip sometime without taking a step back and looking at what I am saying. Also I think DH you have been on your tirade the last few post just to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] me off and you succeeded.
Now I will answer your last few questions/rebuttals:

Being rich is a relative term. Say a guy retired gets a pension of $2000 a month and he will get it for the rest of his life. While he doesn't have much to shake a stick at in his savings he doesn't have to work. Some would consider him rich.
Another person has saved up an odd amount of $100,000s. He can live off the interest of that money but his retirement would be dependent on what national interest rates is and he has to pray like hell a tragedy doesn't strike and knock down that lump sum of money because then that means a lower interest return but this guy by all intents and purposes still does not have to work.
Then you got the guy in my mind what I would call rich. The guy who has millions. Nothing can set him back. That is a rich guy. If that anit you you anit rich. Of course anyone of us if we don't watch our money can fall from grace Mike Tyson, MC Hammer are poster child's for that.

In my mind if you "HAVE" to work for a living especially until your old as hell you are not successful. I don't care what your profession is. Once you can free yourself from the yolk of bondage that is work and enjoy your life 100%. I have friends who use to do the same work I do. They quit early now they are (bean counting) fuck that. I will slug it another 2-3 years. So can retire the right way.

[url]http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bean+counter[/url] (2)[/QUOTE]There are more important things than material wealth. Ask Michael Jackson and all the other rich people who squandered their wealth and misdirected their talents. Greed kills. It is killing the U.S. of A., too. That's why I'll likely semi-retire in Ecuador, Cebu, Costa Rica or Argentina in about 15 years.
I like my job. It affords me the opportunity to travel for work and respectfully so. I'm a professor of management at a private university. I'm single. And I like big boobs.
IL, I am fine with you and don't feel personally insulted; it takes a lot to insult a Dickhead. I just find you somewhat contradictory. On the different handles, I just think it's a way to make it look like more people agree with you. I realize you are saying you didn't using them simultaneously. It's just when I found out you were Warbucks I said, hmm okay there really aren't two people out there who think this way.
"Another person has saved up an odd amount of $100,000s.

That was me until last fall, or anyway I thought I was real close. Sure glad I didn't retire. But I don't want to retire anyway especially given my job is such easy money and has such flexibility. I'd just turn into even worse of a drunk than I already am.
I don't really get early retirement. Look at baseball. Two schools of thought on that: retire at the top when you know your performance or motivation are slipping. Not too many of those any more but Sean Casey would be an example. The other school says, "make them rip the uniform off of you." Like Rickey Henderson. He always said he would play until nobody wanted him any more, and he did. I lean more towards that.
I mean, I doubt IL means he is going to retire at 31 and just pull his pud but men need to work. I have an ex-friend, college grad, perfectly healthy, ain't worked in ten years and just lets his fat AW wife support him. I finally couldn't be friends with him any more.
DJ you can crib with me if I got the space. Shoulda come last year when I was in the big house.
It might be for a new thread but where would you guys retire or semi retire if you could.
