I was born here, I grew up here, and I've lived here my whole life. I love America. However, I married a Russian girl which has been a refreshingly better alternative to the majority of American girls I've met. :p
By no means am I a chauvinist or have some warped sense of "women should know their place in a man's world" 1950's sort of thinking.... but there is a very noticable difference in terms of the respectfullness I am shown by my wife for being a man, and the man of the house, that American girls with their attitudes of entitlement and whiney "we have it so hard as women but we'll show you how tough we are" thinking. I don't think women here realize that for a man, respect is just as important as love. If my wife and I ever split up, or god forbid something horrible happened to her, I would probably find it very difficult to have a relationship with another American girl... lol. |
I pretty much have the same issue. I dated a few American girls, and just got annoyed with them. I stick to my roots now. |

yeah, it's pretty accurate. every one i've ever met has always said or implied something like, "i'm not like those other girls," but in the end, they are just like every other american female out there.

I have no quarrel with love, it's marriage that I'm hostile to.
The way I see it, I'm a valuable commodity. It would be unethical for me to deny women the opportunity to freely compete for me on the open market.
Moreover, I have no economic incentive to do so. If I commit to an exclusive dealing arrangement, then I'm no longer on the market, and thus I do not benefit from the threat of competition. My partner's incentive to provide me with value is decreased proportionately to the marginal increase in the cost of my terminating the relationship (which is likely to be particularly high in my case, due to my financial situation). My partner assumes a reciprocal risk (though not necessarily an equivalent risk, since the cost of terminating the relationship is likely to vary between married partners). Consequently, it becomes a modified prisoner's dilemma. This kind of situation produces high transaction costs and is likely to lead to economically inefficient outcomes, which is one reason why such exclusive dealing arrangements are often (rightfully) prohibited or at least tightly regulated in other business contexts.
Additionally, even if were to I decide to change my mind later, game theory suggests I may be advantaged by postponing marriage (see, e.g., http://www.slate.com/id/2188684/). That said, my strong personal preference for preserving the opportunity to change my mind is one of the reasons I'd likely opt not to make such a commitment as marriage even if it weren't for all of the reasons discussed previously.
Finally, even if the result of my choices do eventually lead to my living a solitary life when elderly, that's something I'm quite comfortable with. I don't really get lonely in the sense that I have some abstract desire for more human contact. For me, loneliness is always tied to missing some specific individual. As a result, the risk of loneliness may actually be higher if I were to marry, since I might well experience considerable loneliness associated with that person's absence if I were to outlive them. Granted, that's a risk with any long-term relationship, marriage or no marriage. I've already been down that road, and I'm not in any particular hurry to go there again. |
that's a fascinating observation/way of looking at it. i like the way you think.

| I think the most important thing in marriage these days is all about health insurance. I'm really tired, but that's what it comes down to. Economics. It's a bitch to get divorced and all that, but it can be cheaper and too. |

I also disagree with marriage, but more so for reasons such as:

I tend to agree really. What's the point of having some mystical bible basher who knows nothing about you say a few magic words to join you and your partner? If you really love someone there should be no problem existing together without the legal status. |

I see. Oh well, the result is the same. The point remains: why bother wasting money on a marriage? |

Depends where you pick your girl up from in the US. More city the girl is the higher chance shes going elsewhere.
I will say from being here in Japan. Alot of guys that find themselves a Japanese/Korean/Thai ect ect girl to marry the marriage is great here. SECOND they get back to the states and she starts finding out what they get away with back home..... yea theyre usually on a plane back to where they came from within a year or 2. |

oh ok so it's just a big defense mechanism. push it away and don't experience it at all because it might haunt you later in life and make you actually have feelings!
