meerkat stew Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Please don't tell me how to post and I wont do the same for you Stop putting words in my mouth as you have done at least twice in this thread, and I won't have to tell you how to post. were not even from Auckland have you actually ever been to NZ or did you just Google it and pick Auckland? lol.. Just the first NZ city that came to mind, I don't have to use google to know that Auckland is in NZ.
tami-chan Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 tami I wish I could say I've herd better things about us I really do but this is the common view point of Americans over seas that I've seen. It pains me that we are seen this way and it covers a broad spectrum of foreigners I'm sure. I'm not the bad guy here guys I'm just a American whose looked out of the "box" and seen how others seam to see us around the world and saddens me.. Do you honestly think I enjoy being called Canadian? to have that assumed just because I'm friendly no I don't it hurts every time.. I'm sure you are not the bad guy..it's just that it's difficult to grasp the mindset of someone who seems to hate his own. You are unwilling to consider that their "hatred" or "disgust" of American men is not rooted in truth or even personal experience. Americans and 'things American" have a wide reach and therefore almost everybody has an opinion of us-and guess what? negative things always are propagated because it is more interesting and it makes those people criticizing us feel better about themselves. Interestingly, many of these people who say "Americans are rude", probably do not know any American personally, so that they are always surprise when they meet an American who is friendly ( like you). This scenario is not uncommon. Do I think you enjoy being called a Canadian? Well, maybe not, but for someone like you who is ashamed of being American, you probably heave a sigh of relief when that happens and you know what? no need to be dramatic about it and say you are hurt and stuff....please, who are you kidding?
Untouchable_Fire Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Seriously you said most American women are bad you tell me how that doesn't make you sound bitter? eh.. I will stand behind what I've said because I know it to be true I will not LIE to you and sayive herd glorious reviews about Americans over seas I'm sorry I'm not a LIER thanks.. No it's not bitter... because I've accepted it and I'm not upset about it. It's just another fact of life. I'm not arguing with you one bit that other countries have a distaste for Americans overall. However, that doesn't stop them from wanting to be in a relationship with an American guy. Additionally... It doesn't mean they are correct. Many of the people who hate us don't really have a good reason to, and deep down they know it.
that girl Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 it's just that it's difficult to grasp the mindset of someone who seems to hate his own.

Americans and 'things American" have a wide reach and therefore almost everybody has an opinion of us-and guess what? negative things always are propagated because it is more interesting and it makes those people criticizing us feel better about themselves. No one was bashing Americans except meekrat (who sticks to bashing American women). Meekrat claims that American men are highly sought after while American women are laughed at by other women. The truth is that many non-Americans have a negative view of American men and women. Americans are loud, arrogant, etc. It is an ignorant viewpoint, but a somewhat common one. Meekrat's claim that American men are highly sought after is his own wishful thinking. I'm guessing you are an American woman Tami-Chan, so I don't understand why you aren't offended by Meekrat's insults.
Anela Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 SpankstheMonkey, you made several points on the previous page, that I was going to make, concerning American men, and why they might be so popular. Women wanting to escape a third-world country, are probably wanting to live "The American Dream", unless they have met someone and legitimately fallen in love with them. My father was a terrible husband to my mother, the first time around (he's American, she's English). She remarried him because he had matured, and grew to appreciate what he'd lost.
SteveC80 Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Have you seen some of the female loons on here? Some of the vain reasons they broke up with their boyfriends,husbands blows the mind,he didnt give her 10 orgasms at a time with a 12 incher etc.. The idea that all women just want love and dont look at Men as trophies or intechangable accesories is a huge misconception

The idea that all women just want love and dont look at Men as trophies or intechangable accesories is a huge misconception For the most part, no, I haven't. I've seen a lot of posts about how men are this way and that, and women should just accept it. At the same time, these men are telling women that most of them aren't good enough to keep a man happy and satisfied - apparently, we should all be happy that we're being settled for. I'm not here every day, so maybe it's just the threads I've looked at when I pop in. *edit. Funny: that sounds like the female equivalent of the men I've described. Links, please?

meerkat stew Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I'm guessing you are an American woman Tami-Chan, so I don't understand why you aren't offended by Meekrat's insults. Probably because she possesses enough reading comprehension to know that my comments about American women in this thread have been strictly limited to certain American women's tendency to unduly inflict their body issues on others, and that since she doesn't have body issues that she inflicts on others, my comments aren't directed at her.
tami-chan Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 that girl: I was not going to respond to your post because I think you have a personal beef(God knows why, when this is the just the internet ) against meerkat stew and you are trying to use me against him. It's good manipulation, but quite transparent. My response to Spanks was just that- a response to his posts. 'Not sure if he was "bashing" American men. I think he was expressing his opinion and what he believes is the "truth" about American men. You using "Bashing" is I believe an inflammatory term designed to rile people-of course, not sure if that was your intent, but I lean towards believing it was. I could be wrong but do not really care either way. American men ARE sought after by foreign women-for whatever reason. Why do you think many Dating Services here are successful? because there is no market for it? Oh sure, many non-Americans have a negative view of Americans, never disputed that. BUT, I believe it is not because we are ACTUALLY loud and obnoxious -you yourself said it is an "IGNORANT VIEWPOINT"- but it is because we get a lot of press, our shows/news are far and wide reaching and we dominate pop culture, naturally our bad sides are exposed AND it is the only thing the seems to stick, why? because it is better for those people to think of us negatively-again, it makes them feel better about themselves. I will say it again, it is not rooted in truth but rather in jealousy. Not saying some of us are not loud and obnoxious, but those tings are not exclusive to us. I am American, of Japanese descent. Contrary to the claim that Americans are "ill-traveled", I am very well-traveled and have lived in different parts of the world. I do believe that many (not all, obviously, as I know I don;t and I am American ) American women spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about some body issues-yet, we are still, perhaps the world's most obese developed nation.There is a disconnect somewhere. We worry a LOT about how we look and yet, we don't do enough to actually make some changes. How is that not annoying? American men did not make these American women fat, but many of us subject these men to our endless barrage of "does this dress make me look fat?" and get offended when the response is "it is not the dress, your being fat makes you look fat". I'm guessing you are an American woman Tami-Chan, so I don't understand why you aren't offended by Meekrat's insults. I don't think he was insulting. BTW, why do you insist on calling him, Meekrat? Would it be okay to addressed you as "fhat girl"? Just asking.
naya1 Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 it seems to me like ure handsome and a very rich man inceptor but u seem so angry at the same time hehehehehe

Im just getting back to this thread as my pc crashed for over a week now. I was just going to ignore everything from then until I saw this. Who the heck said im ashamed of being American? Why just because I happedn to live over seas? gee thats reading allot into this isent it? I may be ashamed when I see american people on holliday acting like morons yea but then again who wouldn't be? So honestly were do you despiser that I hate my own kind? really all of my own family still live in america I cirtinaly do not hate it thanks! Really what a rude needless post tami I don't hate any one but I will not sugar coat reality for any one cause it will do them no good! I am hurt when they im Canadian. And I don't care what you think since I posted this its happed yet again and this time it was my own partners dad. But according to you I truly enjoy it perhaps its people like you with a poor attitude that make it happen in the 1st place so thank you for proving my point for me..

pureinheart Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Call me stupid, naive, old-fashioned, whatever you like, but having read the posts by so many men on LS for a while now is starting to put me off men. Honestly, I am so disappointed and disheartened by so many posts on this forum and I'm starting to think it is affecting my view of men in general. My opinion on the general feel from mens' comments on so may posts is: If my wife/girlfriend doesn't look like she's still 20 at 45, it's fair for me to have an affair/leave. If my wife/girlfriend gains 5lbs, it's fair for me to have an affair/leave. If my wife/girlfriend doesn't perform oral daily, anal, threesomes, and any other porn fantasy I have, it's fair for me to have an affair/leave. If my wife/girlfriend gets "too" emotional, it's fair for me to have an affair/leave. If my wife/girlfriend doesn't follow every sexual fad presented by the media, it's fair for me to have an affair/leave. If my wife/girlfriend doesn't want to have sex at least once day, it's fair for me to have an affair/leave. It's always about sex, sex, sex. I truly am finding that this forum should be renamed Sexshack since love almost is never in the equation to any relationship problem. Or more aptly, love = sex and nothing more. I wonder where kindness, goodness of heart, sincerity, honesty, loyalty, sticking with your partner during bad times, etc have gone. Almost every day there is someone posting about a problem in their relationship and almost always the majority of the answers has to do with the woman not being a good enough "sex goddess." I am truly starting to wonder if men see women as anything more than tools for their sex life. It is so rare to read about a man who appreciates his partner for being there with him, for putting up with his bad habits, for raising their children, for financially supporting their family as much as he is, for sticking with him during job losses, financial difficulties, illness, etc. I guess I needed to vent tonight after reading post after post about how all problems in a R can be solved by the woman looking after her man's sexual needs. When is it all right for a woman's needs (sexual, emotional, etc) to be looked after?? There are men on LS that I have a lot of respect for after reading their posts, that goes without saying, but there are also so many more who make me want to give up on men period. Makes me also question why so many of them can't keep a R going if the only answer to life and love is sex. I know that not all men are so shallow and selfish but some nights after spending too much time reading posts (my own fault) it makes me start to wonder if there are any good men left on the planet! End of rant - let the backlash begin! Unfortunately, this is how a lot of men out there think, it is disheartening to me also.... I have to say that LS does have an unusually high rate of angry and bitter people...so try not to let the few here taint your veiw of all men...even though a lot of them here aren't your cup of tea, remember this is just a small persentage of the actual number of good guys out there...there is one for you...I promise:D
pureinheart Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Yeah, of course. You probably have been spending so much time in the Sex Forum and you claim that this entire forum is all about sex, sex, sex. Go ahead give up on men. Like anyone is gonna miss you. I'm sure it was this type of reply that the OP was refering to also:)
pureinheart Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Well apparnetly you either arent here those days are dont care but women on here are just as shallow and whacky Worse actually....
