Enough about American men already

I could say the same thing about American women, Angie. My WORST on-line experience (I've talked to women all over the globe on the net) was from dating an AMERICAN LIBERAL woman who lived an hour away from me.

Quite frankly, angie, here is what happens: Girl meets nice guy, and leaves him because she doesn't like how he looks, he's not BAD enough for her or doesn't make enough money. Girl meets bad boy. Girl gets pregnant. Girl marries guy for baby, not love. Girl starts to grow up, bad husband just wants to party, even with baby in the house. Continues for 2-3 years. Girl and Guy decide all problems are because they don't have a baby anymore, so they have another. Repeat once more.

Guy realizes he has to be responsible, so he leaves, or Girl divorces him. Girl is now 35-50 and is stuck with three kids. She's no longer attractive, doesn't have the figure 8, the smooth, soft stomach or the perky breasts. The smooth skin has given away to wrinkles, her hair is losing its color and thinning out, her hands are callous from changing diapers and washing hands, and celluite is settling in.

After all this, she realizes she's been with the wrong man, but couldn't resist. She saw Rent, Grease or sitcoms and WANTED to LIVE the LIFE, to have the drama and feel the emotion.

She sure did, it's just a little bit different dynamic than the writer's room at the studio.

Girl goes on-line to meet men in different countries, because it's all American man's fault. She had no choice in matter, she was used! She MUST find man for kids, ANYONE is better than no one, even a Muslim radical.

---------------Tell me this isn't a model for so many American women who seek love on-line. --------

Let's face it, this on-line dating internationally isn't about manners or chilvary, and you and I both know that many if not most of these are so desperate, older divorcees can get a tan, thin, fit younger Berber man as opposed to a ruddy, pot-bellied, balding man their own age in the USA.

If American men are really that awful, care to share why every single dating agency from every corner of the planet caters to THEM?

Ok, angie, listen up :

First of all, American men don't need a visa into another country. The USA is the greatest country on planet Earth, hands down. American men have no reason to leave the country, even though they could live like kings in the Third World.

Secondly, our employment rate is below 5%. That means everyone who wants a job has one or can get one. MOST American men work hard and are successful. That's why the economy is the best in the world.

The difference between on-line scammers, like the Moroccan man you are talking to right now and American men in real life is that dating liars and scammers don't sweat under the collar. You can talk to your man until you are blue in the face about honesty, loyalty and scamming. They are more than happy to yank your chain and may even have two or three pop-up windows of sites called HOW TO TALK TO A WESTERN WOMAN

I met a Nigerian woman on-line once who did the same thing. I talked to her about how honesty was important and she just kept on agreeing, though it was obvious she wasn't for real, if she was even a she.

And the fact that he's found Jesus? You really believe that? I mean, I know that Christianity is booming in Africa, but I've heard the "I'll convert" speech before, even from a woman I met on-line who clearly had no intention of changing. She said it just so I would be intimate with her and so I would buy her things.

The fact that your "man" (If it is indeed a he) says nice things to you and says he's going to convert means absolutely NOTHING. nada. zip.

Really, angie, I hear this all the time on here. Just about every woman thinks she has the real thing, but it's only because he may or may not have several cheat sheets and you can't tell his facial expressions or feel his touch.

Of course he's not going to mention money! A lot of times, scammers don't even ask directly, they just try and get you to offer.

The real adventure doesn't even start until after you are married. Then, it's like a switch goes off.

Face it, you're at a disadvantage, and therefore, you're on here because you aren't dating in person and can't detect whether he's being honest or not, and you're going to get burned.

Then you'll have twice the complaining to do as you add Moroccan men to the list.
