I think you've shown 2 examples which really tell it like it is. If you think about it ....if these men are raised to believe and actually grow up in environment where women are there for mere sex and chores it's no wonder these guys come over and see us no different. I am not making excuses for the behavior but do think people need to fully understand the overall impact ones upbringing and culture has on them. The person I was dating actually made the comment "women were put on this earth for man's pleasure" very early on when we were talking religion which I didn't really understand until after the fact.

If you think about it if they have a family and wife back home I suspect that's what they are using us for and it's so easy for them to cut off their emotions and move on that is if they had any. I don't doubt they enjoy our company and have fun to pass time away it's just different. Passing the time away with no investment. I am speaking for ones that are already legal. I still talk to the person I was seeing but more on a friend level for I care about it him btu something just isn't right. It really took a couple of months for me to see when the mask came off. Sometimes I swear those sweet words seemed so fake for never heard some of those phases before and I would just laugh at him sometimes. The best is anytime I would tried to have a serious conversation or question something he would try to charm me to change the subject. Like I said culture and upbringing has a huge impact in ones lives and i hope folks research and understand it, I don't mean that negatively it's just a fact.
