Class status and dating

Interesting thoughts. A couple of personal testimonies I have heard from people who date interracially said they got the idea from interracial porn that's all I meant by that.

There is a serious double standard with some, maybe most women who date on-line. The taxi driver example is a good one.

If there is one thing I've noticed about on-line dating (and from my own online experiences as well) is that women are much more tolerant than they would be in real life. I actually got this idea from Marius Panzeralla's Dating Secrets Revealed, but whenever I go out on a date with a woman, I know that she's looking for reasons NOT to date me. Why? Because she's already dating me! That is a mistake that many men make.

I dated an American woman I met online, and she was very nice to me for the first couple of months, BEFORE I started to send her money. I could tell that she was very scared of losing me. I was never rude to her then, but I could have been and she would have still been with me.

Women are known for their ability to detect lies and deceit. I guess that can either be taken as a stereotype or a compliment, but however it goes, I've beaten the horse over the idea that over the internet, their ability to do this becomes greatly dimished. I think that's one reason why we see a lot more women on here than men. So, it's really hard to tell where the other person is coming from on-line.

It doesn't surprise me they would rather date a taxi driver in say Morocco than NYC. Different culture is appealing, so is the perceived darker skin color. Some are just fed up with Western men altogether. That's really what the difference is.

I did want to address the question you posted about family. The chances that a Muslim man from the Middle East will leave his family and religion for love are small...like less than 1% small I would guess. Even the most ardent feminists, the ones who roll up their sleeves in a bid to go after Christians and Jews (ironically, the same philosophy that gave them their freedom), will make way for Muslim men.

It just won't happen. Why? People don't like change. It's as simple as that. Going into a relationship or marriage thinking you can change the other person is folly. Dr. Pipes mentions that women are more prone to convert to Islam, but they do so mainly to make the man happy, NOT because they believe it is the truth.
