Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
Okay folks, I have drafted about 6 replies for this thread and trashed them all! As an American female going on 19 years of marriage to a man who was not American born... I have a lot of experience with the whole differences of culture, language, religion and so on. Let's get real... I'm even 5 inches taller than him! We are yin and yang and that is why I think we work so well together... and WORK is the key word there. We are a TEAM.
Xavier, I don't know where you live or where you have been "looking" for your future wife.. but that might have something to do with the type or class of women you are meeting. If you keep finding the same type over and over again, you need to find a better hunting spot!
Oh, and to your comment Quote:
A woman in America [s:1idvk05w]is[/s:1idvk05w] on average has been married and [s:1idvk05w]devorced[/s:1idvk05w] divorced twice... Agree??
umm... that would mean the same goes for the average male too... no???
And Xavier, please one last thing...your spelling and grammar on your post...Oh my... it was painful to read... I am usually the worst American person on the forum here... I think my crown was just passed to you! :shock:

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
I wonder, does Xavier keep tracking this thread?

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
Well, he hasn't even returned once to the thread! Maybe he's at the Sun Dance. I had a friend once who was full blooded Sioux from S Dakota. He used to wear his hair to his waste and the walls of his flat were covered with Indian artifacts. The only thing is, that he lived in Sydney Australia. Anyway, he wasn't very tall but he was always going out with these girls that were "models". He had no interest to ever return to the USA.
But getting back to the topic. As far as American women go, or for that matter almost any urban women from a western country, but I will particularly speak about American women in general, they are evil, self centered, loud mouthed, sloppy dressed and grossly FAT creatures. What ever you do Xavier, do NOT marry one of these! The English women are not far behind in all this and the Australian women are catching up fast. Oh, and you won't find any better women in the rural areas of the US either. They all have TV and they all are fat and indoctrinated.
The cause of the problem with American women is largely in the education system and the pop culture. When I get off the plane in the USA after living in Russia, it is a shock! I was in the USA for TWO WEEKS before I saw ONE woman who was even worth looking at, the rest were fat and ugly and when they opened their mouths you could hear them speak their drivel from across the street. American women will never be satisfied with their men. They are taught that men are NOTHING from the first day that their overweight, over-bearing, passive-aggressive mother sits them in front of the television/baby-sitter!
Make no mistake, there is a large difference between Russian women and American/English women. Now, I'm not saying that Russian women are perfect, but at least they are not indoctrinated from birth by "Feminism" and are largely free and clear of the US Pop Culture and Hip Hop scene, which has been detrimental to healthy relationships between men and women.
After living in Russia, I can say that there are almost no good looking women in USA. There used to be, but not any more! It looks to like they all got fat starting at age 13. The Russian women that I know living in the US say that they sometimes feel sorry for American men because the women are so trashy in the US in general.
I am not exaggerating about any of this! I can spot a Russian man in a crowd of people easily. Russians will be the ones that are lean, self confident, dressed well, their voices are more reserved in general, they often have a cleaner aura about them. They are more manly in attitude. But not openly aggressive. It's just the way they carry themselves. Of course I have seen a few Russian men who I would stay away from too. You know, the ones with the "prison tattoos" I saw one with stars tattooed on his shoulders. The Russian girls in the USA are always the hottest girls in the group they are with.

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
This is true that the American women happen to be EXTREMELY obese more frequently than the Russian ones. I saw a video of people escaping from earthquake by foot, that was just creepy. Anyway, I believe that the American men follow them, therefore they are good enough for each other.
But frankly speaking, Russian people are also obese in general, while not to that degree. We have rampant alcoholism instead.

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
Female beauty in general is a totally subjective area. When I was in the Netherlands, I had a chance to see the local people. To my mind, their women are too flat and have small facial features (like small eyes) which I don't like. Blonde curly hair don't help. The local kids are cute though, such little angels with blue eyes from an old Christmas postcard.
I believe someone with non-Russian background could write something alike about Russians/Russian women. The idea of beauty is something you get in your childhood.

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
I forgot to recommend "Pimsleur" to this visitor. After listening to the whole thing (50 hours!!!!!) I guarantee that it covers all the vocabulary he needs for his purposes... :mosking:

No doubt the Russian ladies will fall instantly in love after hearing these eloquent phrases :lol: and they will live happily ever after...
Hehe....
:lol:
NOTE: Please rest assured that the only reason I stuck with Pimsleur is because I always like to finish what I have started... Plus 50 hours of learning material is pretty good. But the sentences and phrases are terrible and the accent of the narrator is driving me nuts.
If you want an audio course in Russian for beginners, choose 1) Michel Thomas' Russian 1+2 OR 2) "Assimil, Le Russe sans peine" instead! So my flashcards had about a thousand sentences of nonsense in it, that I didn't even have the audio for. They had moved around the lessons and changed the language a bit.
Oh, the other reason I stuck with it was because I entered ALL the Pimsleur sentences into my flashcard application. Unfortunately I only discovered later that my audio version was different from the on that "Grogs" had (that's the guy who transcribed Pimsleur here on MR).
For example, instead of saying "Вы хотели бы поужинать со мной сегодня вечером?" they say "Вы хотете поужинать вместе со мной вечером..." Basically every sentence was changed a bit. No idea why.

No. Russian women are very skinny in general. Just check where all the super models come from at the moment... I read on Josefina's blog (Swedish woman in Russia) that she STUFFS herself with Russian food, yet never puts on any weight while she's there. Perhaps the food is just healthier and less fatty than elsewhere. Plus I guess the junk food revolution hasn't spread across Russia yet.
If Russian women are too fat for you, then honestly, I don't know where you should look... An anorexia clinic perhaps. Obviously I mean women below... 40. Older women shouldn't have to worry about putting on a few extra kilos, I think.

There are different editions of Pimsleur it seems that each edition has slight variances and different voices on them. Hey, here's a question ! I listened to the trial beginner audio Michel Thomas' Russian and it is very slow with a lot of explanations in English. Are their advanced courses like that too....with a lot of English spoken?
-
Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
Yeah, I can't really complain, since I didn't buy my copy of Pimsleur in a shop and since the transcription is apparently illegal: I read on another site that Pimsleur is chasing across the internet after transcripts of their courses, they really don't want it (STUPID!). No idea why they haven't got to this one here.
For Michel Thomas they have an "advanced" version too. But really, it is not very advanced.
Same narrator; the Russian-British woman who sounds like a school teacher, and two "students", a woman and a man.
I think you (DDT) are too good for the course (?) but I am very happy to send you the course if you want to try it. I have the course in full and I edited it to iPod format (m4b) with a fancy icon + it remembers exactly where you stopped last time you listened. I think it's about 7 hours in total.
-
Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
No but thanks anyway. I am "get to the point" person. I get infuriated at all the chatter in English. LOL That course is much like that "Rocket German" course. I couldn't listen to all the chatter and attempts at humor on it.

Yeah and he's gonna get a surprise if he thinks that ANY woman does not look at a guys bank account, even Russian babes. That's just human nature. I don't understand why any guy who is a PC Liberal (he's from San Fransisco so there's a good chance that he is) would want a Russian wife either. Russians, thankfully, couldn't give a shИt about Political Correctness.

lol man your post was Right on.
I think I heard Dane Cook or someone make a similar point awhile back. How American Girls are raised to think they are "Princesses" and they can eat all the chocolate cake they want and if the gym teacher wants to make you walk just tell the principle he was touching you!
I guess you hit the nail on the head about British chicks as well. I don't know if its the UKs proximity to the US compared to other European nations but they are certainly lagging when it comes to class and well wanting to have anything to do with them.
Russian women aren't perfect either. Seems most Moskvichka's are fat or spoiled as well, but the good thing about Moscow is that no one here is actually from Moscow :)
Yeah, Im a Bomzh? So what? I make 30,000R a month and I only work 2 days a week. Jealous.

Unfortunately at the moment Russian women are spoilt too. Of course, it doesn`t concern everyone. So I think you should look for an individuality not for a certain nationality.

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
Do you agree that women in america are all only looking for the rich man??
A woman in america is on average been maried and devorced twice... Agree??
Women in america often act superiror to other nationalitys when they are often the real problem??
Someone help me please... I need a russian womans perspective... Am I crazy or is it OK to want to bring someone from the country my grandparents came from here to be my wife... Even someone I haven't meet in person only on the computer?? Do you think you could find someone real on the computer??? :beer: Looking for answers Xavier[/quote]
Hello, Xavier! Hi, I'm Amber. I will say you are correct concerning the existence of women in the US who are only focused on money, BEAUTY, ETC ETC. I assure you my friend that this is not the case for all american women. Why, would you be so bold yet so foolish to limit yourself to only Russian women from Eastern Europe. I'm an American. I don't busy my mind with thoughts of money and accessories or beauty. I'm concerned with issues in the world like ...child imprisonment (in Russia) or hunger, which is EVERYWHERE! I think perhaps you have focused on only the american magazine and television shows. I have many friends who are like me. We don't bother with make-up and fake etc. and we are gorgeous, just how God made us. You seem like you are looking for a very "normal" life though. =-) Ha, I plan to travel, journal, study the world, and one day become a professor. I don't like that you put such a generalization on the American women...almost insulting though...I'm not hurt. Well, I hope that your eyes open up soon and you see that your claim includes only a very small sample of the American women... Regards Amber.

You see, since time out of mind, a woman or a female was on the constant, unrelenting lookout for a male that could take good care of her and her brood. Females have a visceral penchant for males who can cater to their every whim, and oh boy, are females a fickle minded lot!!! And it's small wonder that in ninety nine percent of the time females go for the wealthiest guy possible when given a choice between a dirt poor and a filthy rich candidate. They will fight tooth and nail among themselves to stake a claim to that richest guy, because they put financial security before everything else. That is intrinsic to them, that runs in their blood, period. Detractors can write me scathing missives, in a feeble attempts to bring me around to their point of view that women are not all about money, but I will be adamant, entrenched in my point of view - women pursue only pecuniary interests, they could care less about you or your personality. They are known to society under different monikers - gold diggers throphy wifes and such. But the net result of an encounter with such a quiff is that she's gonna clean you out and you will segway from being wealthy into being indigenous in the wink of an eye. And once its become clear to both of you that you can't pay the enormous bills that she racks up every so often she's gonna ditch you for another knucklehead love-stricken unsuspecting sap.
And such a trend can be observed in ANY country, be that America or any eastern country for that matter.
Now, I put in ninety nine percent of the time in bold typeface with purpose, because like any sane level headed person I leave the door wide open for exceptions - there ARE women that don't fall under said category, that could care less about pecuniary gain they could get from a wealthy man. And its ever so difficult to find such babes, because they are precious few on the planet Earth.
PS: and don't tell me that I am a spurned lover of some kind and that got ditched lately and that I harbor ill feelings toward women in general because of that. On the contrary, I am married to a lovely lady and can't complain about her. I just express my standpoint on the subject matter that's backed by numerous episodes that I have witnessed.

I think that all that money should have gone to raising a happy family... one that understands that only through the good works we do is to our fellow humans, deturmines the future.
I have come to the comclusion that I am going to marry a woman from Eastern Europe. American women no longer respect the promiss of becoming one couple not a seperate husband and a seperate wife... Thy are one and the same.. I need a good russian girl , first bring her here let her go to college and become anything she wants, while I raise the children. I will give her everything she could ever want as well as share all the family decissions.. I will bee all for her!!!

I sort of agree with you about the money thing but I think that many American women have few good morals and aren't as easy to trust. I would never marry an American woman because they are more apt to cheat than a foreign woman. I don't mean to insult American women, I am not saying all of them are like this. If you look at an American woman's profile on a website like Myspace I am sure that over 90% will say "I hate drama" but they will have posts complaining about somebody they are having a fight with over nothing. I've seen it tons of times.

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
You can't insult American women by saying they are more prone to cheat? What on earth would you base that on!
A VERY large proportion of Americans are confessing Christians and they would probably think twice about cheating just for that reason. And I think married men are MUCH more prone to cheat anyway.
Haven't you been bashing American women enough in this thread anyway? :mad:
If you have a problem with American women, consider that they would be the product of the society that they live in!!
If you've got a materialistic, status oriented society that values professional success, materialistic values and a "go-getter" personality, then isn't it logical that that is exactly the type of personality the "good" conformist woman adopts?
Or would you seriously expect a woman who grows up watching Sex and the City, Ally McBean and Ricky Lake to become some kind of blushing Victorian rose...?
And let me tell you; even if you are a fairly feminine woman, if you work professionally and have a long career, you are just not going to feel like coming home and be lovely and charming in the kitchen like a 1950s housewife.. That's the reality.

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
Perhaps you should consider that your view of the world (and this includes women) reflects yourself. And your generalisations about any group reflects your milieu. If you're not meeting people you want to meet, think about what you should change in your life.

My fiance is not from America and we don't use Myspace. I was saying that if you were to look at many profiles of American women that it would say that. I am not saying that any of what I said applies to all women, there are many great American girls who don't cheat and have good morals but with the way American culture is many don't appreciate what they have.

Please tell me more about your scientific research on MySpace. :D
It's true that American culture takes a few too many things for granted, though. However, the subject of fidelity is notoriously difficult to measure. I don't think reliable statistics are even possible!

I don't care for that site Myspace. Let me reword about American women being unfaithful. It seems to be the younger generations that are becoming this way. Many younger Americans are thinking things like this are ok because of what our society shows to them in the media.

Unfaithfulness is essentially impossible to measure. In this case, what "seems to you" to be true sounds like something you want to be true. In reality, we have no idea and no evidence (either way).
By the way, you may be interested to know that the divorce rate in the US has been steadily dropping since the 1970s. If the younger generations are more unfaithful, nobody seems to care! (Actually, there are plenty of other reasons that could have caused it to drop).

Re: I've no faith in the marrage practices of American women
Ok but why would you think that Russian women would be more faithful and less prone to divorce than American women?
I thought the rate of divorce was really high there too. At least that's what I read somewhere, a long time ago. Also, I guess the Russians are a bit less religious on average, than Americans, and the rate of married women working is probably about the same (that increases the risk of divorce) So what's the big difference?

Also, I guess the Russians are a bit less religious on average, than Americans, and the rate of married women working is probably about the same (that increases the risk of divorce) So what's the big difference?
Don't know anything about OP so no comment.
But I used to live in an area of Canada with large Ukrainian diaspora and large population of Russian/Ukrainian immigrants. Men there loved to marry women from Russia and Ukraine because the general perception (not everybody's, of course) was that these women will be eternally grateful to be saved from untold (mostly imaginary) horrors of Eastern Europe and therefore will be willing to put up with things that Canadian women wouldn't. Also there were many cultural stereotypes about how these women should behave and such. Overall, such women that I met were to a larger or smaller extent miserable, although, again, not all of them.
btw, Johanna, have you read A short history of tractors in Ukrainian? it's a British novel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Short_Hi ... _Ukrainian
Pretty funny and a lot of it rings very true.
