There are good women and bad women in every country, just as there are good and bad men. To judge an entire group based on the action of a few "rotten apples" is ignorant and sad.

I've been hurt terribly by some men, but I do not hold it against all men. I have also been treated wonderfully by men. It is completely an individual thing.

I get sick of hearing about how "all Russian women are gold-diggers" etc. I also hear that "all Russian men are drunken chauvinists who beat their girlfriends" but I choose not to believe it.

You have to see each person for who they are, and not pile all of your bad experiences on them! No one deserves to suffer for the bad behavior of someone they don't know and never met. Every time you meet someone new, start with a clean slate!

As for "going to Thailand where the women are nice." Come on, that's a cop out. Men go to Thailand to have sex without having to make any commitment. In Thailand they have sex with little girls who haven't even turned 18 yet. And there is lots of RISK, too. But if some guys would rather go to Thailand and screw underage prostitutes and get diseases and they consider that less "risky" than dating and getting to know a woman as a person, then that says a lot about their character. Or lack of it.
