Thank you for reading. In my profile if you've read it you see this line "looking for non-American woman". Since this seems a bit odd to many people and when I first joined this site I was asked about it several times I thought I should explain. I don't share this to explain myself to you. I share it in the hope that maybe, just maybe, you will understand and avoid the issue that drove my search to this site. Please understand that there is no psychological or sociological issue that can be applied with broad strokes to any group of people. Each person becomes who they are and behaves as they do because of a multitude of factors and no one is the same. So these are observations and very broad generalizations that come purely from my own experiences. In the US there seems to be an undercurrent of emotion within many of the women here. That emotion? Anger. Some are just blatantly angry that they're not men and aren't treated as equals. While the ceiling for men may be higher economically the truth is that women in the US earn as much as men when they opt for the same career or job. Some, like many women here, are angry with and disappointed by the behavior of the men they've known. Abuse, neglect, unfaithfulness, and other bad behavior has not only put them on their guard but has turned them into what we term "The Man-Haters Club". Even though they feel the need to find their partner in life they've chosen to either forgo it or simply to go through a series of non-committed, meaningless relationships. What does this have to do with this site? When the USSR broke up the same thing happened there that had happened in the 1960s in the US - a sexual revolution. I'm not naive by any means so I know the benefits that came from that. Not just the sexual freedom for women but also the freedom to leave bad relationships. The down side? The potential that the lack of stable Male-Female relationships could cause the same issues there that we see here. So I'll end with this. Don't let yourself become angry at life or allow bitterness to take root. You may not find your perfect man here. But enjoy the journey. Savor the good moments. Keep hold of your faith that there really are good men out there just as I have faith that there are good women. That's why a "non-American woman". I believe most of you still have faith in us as men. We need that - desperately!
