This whole weird conversation is like we are all in some time machine and the year it has gone to is 1950.
Most people are bigots of some sort. Now it is even easier behind an online identity.
That said, "equality" is a self-limiting philosophy. Why stop there? Everyone ought to excel.
Whatever the reasons, the fact kept under cover is that working life isn't working too well for women in the US:
- 18% without kids at 40, more like 25% if they have a master.
- "72 percent of women without kids believe that they can't balance work and home life either, and a staggering 70 percent of women overall are struggling with their well-being. In fact, 65 percent of women say they are "just trying to get by," and more than 40 percent of women surveyed say they are "hanging on by a thread.""
Maybe if they are legal......If illegal, probably not.....if the guy gets deported he will just pay a coyote to bring him back anyway.....but not likely that there will be much of a payoff for the female in terms of child support if a divorce among illegals happens.
actually if you look closely the more traditional mexicans get incredibly jealous and protective of their women knowing that in the US they have the tendency to declare their "independence" divorce, and turn the hombre into a paycheck like the other amerilosers.
Men have no reproductive rights. Why should I be arsed about women's, given that most women think men not having any reproductive rights is 100% correct.

we have no reproductive right but we have complete and total childrearing liabilities.
Just look at homes built in the 1950's. Shitboxes. Enough said.
You mean when houses were built out of real material and are still standing compared to the pressboard and vinyl, stapled together shitboxes they sell now.
Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt
Homes built in the 1930's and before are still standing. They are architecturally more interesting too.
I hate Eichlers. Are they even safe in a fire? Cold during the winter and hot during the summer. Classic.
The modern women can no longer cook, they no longer want children and..
This problem is limited to Americans only.

its the worst in US and UK certainly.
fact is American women can't do anything. They simply complain and expect everyone to support them.
With men and women working the appropriate thing to do is for everyone to handle their "fair share" when it comes to paying bills, doing household chores/maintenance, handling parental obligations as well as paying for discretionary activities. That's not to say that both genders should have same hobbies and interests. But in regards to the first sentence, resistance to these changes from either gender is counterproductive and holds society back, not to mention the relationship itself.
Because women in US and UK are smarter?
BTW, it's not true that modern women don't want children. I wish. Kids are everywhere.
Modern parents just don't have the decency to tend to their crying child in a restaurant where reasonable people are trying to have a nice meal.

this approach suggests that both parents are equally well suited and equipped to raise children. Entirely not true. Likewise, women are not equipped or suited for the workforce. The workplace has become nothing short of romper room beginning precisely at the period where women entered it. And it is no coincidence we now have so many problems with young kids as they don't have their nurturing mothers around when they are growing up.

you are seriously out of touch. The birth rate is declining fast. The single motherhood rate is increasing fast. Most children being born today in the US are hispanics who hardly have a connection to modern american culture.
I don't know. Whenever there is a crying child in a nice restaurant, the parents are either Asian or Caucasian. It takes 3-5 dirty looks to get them to do something.
Some of the comments here which in many ways are talking about women as if they are nothing more than robots or otherwise subservient to men with specific tasks makes me wonder what some people think marriage is about.
I guess I just find this bizarre, perhaps because I was born and raised in a more modern family. Both parents worked. So too did not only my Grandmothers but their mothers as well. Everyone had a say. I am the same myself and me and my wife both work, share the chores, share in cooking and taking care of the house. Somehow I fail to see what the problem with that is. Honestly I wouldn't want a wife who simply stayed home, cleaned the house, cooked and waited on me hand and foot.

they are subservient. they are weaker, dumber, and less ambitious. nothing could be more obvious unless your head is filled with propaganda from the day you were born- which is likely if you're Californian.
they are personally obsessed with proving otherwise because they know, being women and living as one, that they are indeed weaker and 100% dependent on men.

Let me ask you a very simple question because I think the answer will be very telling:
Are you married? If not, have you ever been married?
Second of all, I grew up in South, genius. Its not called "Propaganda" either. Its called common sense.
From my experience, I find women generally more intelligent than men. Men tend to be obsessed with so-called analysis and reason. But in the end, we are all subjectivists who pretend to be objective. Women are more intuitive.
Perhaps because I am dumb.
Well the cracker boxes were, but then they've always been what you said. However, the upper scale houses were beautifully built.
Very true. Upper scale houses are always nice. However, so many houses were built during the 1950's that it is hard to change the perception.
I am just not a fan of Modernism. I prefer the playfulness of Postmodernism.
Interesting that the image of the dude looks like he is wearing either some strange medieval outfit or chain mail.
Many writers and musicians adopt bizarre clothing and usually facial hair to prove they're hipness and with-itness. I'm surprised he hasn't added a little fedora to the mix.

Not really sure this guy is going for the whole "hip" look....
But the look if appropriate for such a dumb article.
So don't try and even suggest that somehow pulling a bunch of random statistics out is going to make a faulty argument valid.
Statistics are useless.
Isn't that a generalization?
Yes, if you have a teeny, inverted penis that makes women laugh, you definitely need a foreign bride.
No, you've approached this matter as an ignoramus, judging a state of being without any personal frame of reference.
I've approached this matter as a naturalist, looking at it from a kaleidoscope of experiences.
You've already stated you are not getting married.
No need to repeat...
On the whole, I will not engage a person,
Sounds like Rin's been outed....
Harry is a bitter, angry, misogynist with a small penis and highly insecure infatuation with contact sports.
It is the laws. Take the financial incentive away and divorce will fall to historical levels. We are in an unnatural state due to the feminists. Not only have they established legal slavery for married men-in some places they have pushed for palimony and made that legal. it used to be you could raise your kid the way you saw fit. Now the gubmnt determines how you raise your kid , right down to the last penny.
I think the feminists are directly responsible for the mess we are in. For generations now, people-especially men have gotten used to losing their self and obeying gubmn dictats-no matter how unfair-under threat of prison. So slowly we lose our drive. Why work, when the wife who does nothing but enjoy your money, goes shopping, horseback riding etc etc can suddenly say I am done with your old wrinkly ass, I need half and alimony on top of that and need me some toyboys? I mean only the richer party has to give and the ex wife has no mandate to provide any of the services she supposedly did. You work hard, toil away and boom half is gone and you are on your own, your kids are being raised by another younger dude and you pay the bill for all of it and you are considered the evil person. That is the singular achievement of feminism -to take away dignity and self-respect and make whorism a virtue. Then you wonder why men think so highly of modern American women-it is not the women they hate-but the helplessness, the laws stacked against them. I am sure Halle berry and now Sherri Sheperd from the view must feel the same as any man.
Though now a growing number of women -either themselves or as next wives-are beginning to see the personal impact of these draconian laws. In some states, repeal of these laws have been led/supported by these women. So we may come full circle-from women saying they want it all-the ability to work or the ability to stay at home and be supported in the lifestyle they were used to for life , to actually some women now saying women need to grow up and act as adults and be responsible for themselves and their progeny-isn't that what feminism is supposed to be about-for a woman to be an equal and make her way through the world on her own?? Or is feminism is about being an equal and succeeding and when you fail-have the man foot the bill and you live very successfully??.
Next GOP presidential candidate. Would be a Tea Party favorite for sure!
So you think a study on mail order brides is a good basis for comparison?
In slavic cultures, there's a saying "put pasta on one's ears." Slavic women can be extremely strategic thinkers and fancy themselves as "foxes" because of their cunning ability. To the anglos considering marrying one of them let me give you a word of advice, they will outplay you, out-think you and you will get a nice welcome to the "big leagues." The risk-reward has a much greater downside compared to americans.

So no guarantees there either, which brings us back to Rin, the Renaissance Man.. ;)

Not hanging noodles on your ears: Russian - not kidding
He does make some valid points on these topics. It is interesting that a person in his predicament comes to these conclusions but I digress.....
Word, the family is then prepared to suck whatever money they can from the relationship. Example: two of my wife's cousins are Thai and married westerners briefly. One got a ticket to the US and once she had a job she got divorced. The other got her Dutch guy to buy a load of rubber trees for the family plantation, and dumped him a couple years later.
Marrying abroad is more risky than people think. Your wife is only your wife until it's inconvenient.
My wife is American, and although she's not perfect, I'll take her over some foreign bride any day.
1974
Yuck! Double digit inflation every month, gas lines and shortages, the most poorly built, worst running cars in the postwar era, serial killers (the term hadn't been invented yet) plying their trades on both coasts and north and south...
Simply not getting divorced isn't a particularly meaningful basis for
quantifying the 'success' of a marriage unless your only criteria for said
'success' is that those people didn't get divorced. I've lived in the Middle
East for over a decade. Hardly anyone gets divorced over there and hardly anyone
I know is remotely happy in their marriage. Obviously according to you, those
marriages are a 'success
Many russian families "stick it out for the kids." Then when kids turn 16-18 the divorce occurs. These families were riding along on at least 10+ years of misery train. They would have been better off divorcing earlier like americans would have done.
I heard that the divorce rate itself is a bit distorted, because there are a significant minority of "Serial Divorcees", people who get married and divorced multiple times, which most people do not do.
In other words: "happy wife, happy life."
If she's unhappy, she's going to ruin everything you love.

"The modern women can no longer cook, they no longer want children and they are no longer warm, tidy and loving creatures who think spending time with their family is a good thing. They are probably too "independent" and "strong" to even have a family of their own. The only thing modern women have to offer men today is sex. So instead of being loving housewives who cook and raise children, they are reduced to being sexual objects only - and they are so messed up emotionally and intellectually that they often spend most of the money they make on their jobs on plastic surgery, cosmetics and tons of clothes they think will make them look good, in a desperate attempt to stay or become more attractive. Well, they have no other qualities attractive to men, so what else can we expect? This is the fruit of feminism. The fruit of "women's liberation"."
