When my friend just moved to the USA, and we were exchanging e-mails very often (now she is busy with a baby), she told me her impressions of the USA, of her neighbours...and she told me, that once after a week or so there, she decided to start bycicling just for fun and for keeping fit (as roads there are much much better then here), and she did that at day time when her husband was at work. And she said they (mostly women) looked at her like at a crazy girl...as she was riding around the street to get used to the region and city where she lives...
And she also said "here nobody would ever call me a model type girl (not slim enough), and here men and women look at me like I have no any faults in my figure and don't have extra kilograms which I would like to lose, actually I have to the admit, I'm the slimmest girl around here:))"
...and the selfish, overweight, falsely entitled, poorly educated, lazy and materialistic american woman bash song and dance goes on, lol....
I feel somewhat sad for the poor creatures....NOT!!
Pitchka,
please do what you can to tell your bike riding friend NEVER to stop riding and doing the work needed to keep her "slimmer than most american women figure"...please please please.
That particular trait (wanting a healthy and attractive looking body) is a reflection of self value and self steem...something that every single man, american or otherwise respects and appreciates in every woman. And it is source of pride for the man she is with.

Toad I'm very sorry but it's not mine trait of character to push anybody to something, if a person will ask me I will do what he will ask, but if he won't ask me, I won't speak about it as well. And I'm not going to push my friend in any way, she is a clever girl, and I'm sure she will know what is better for her and her husband, and a baby:))
As we speak here about American women, once a very famous humorist Zadornov told such a story: "I was having the set of concerts in the USA, and I was using the domestic flight from one city to another. And there were 2 American women sitting next row to me, and they were solving a crossword. The next question sound like half-human and half-horse. (here he always says I know that you all guessed that it's "centaur", as the whole auditorium starts shouting this word). They were thinking for 15 minutes about it, and I was about to help them, and do you know what they guessed this word was??? WOMAN!!!!" :)))))))))))
Sorry for the big letters, but had to undeline that:)))
That's too funny - I remember when I first came to the US I was living in Califonia, and one evening I was sitting by the community swimming pool and there was this georgeous blonde girl and we struck up a conversation. In the course of the conversation I mention that I am originally from AUstria, and she looks at me and scratches her head and then she said " Austria - where is that, I am not really good in geology" .....
I can only agree with all the things that are mentioned above, I find it refreshing to correspond with women who take care about how they look and who also have something intelligent to say. It is frightening how ignorant many American women are about the world and even life.
JJ,
Since you lived in Calif. you know that the value scales here are somewhat more grossly distorted than in most other parts of the world.....
1. Most women marry, date or get involved with the most affluent man they can attract.
2. Most men marry, date or get involved with the most attractive woman they can afford.
There.....I summarized the entire California dating game for all of you, lol.
Toad
American woman-I said keep away
American woman-now I know why some men are gay
Don't come knocking on my door-I dont need no two dollar whore.
I got more important things to do-Than spend my time in court with you.
well Im working on the new lyrics for American Woman.I hope you like it.
Good ones Michael,
here is my not so humble contribution, lol:
"....Not gonna pee sitting down for you,
you'll end up fat like your mother, too.
Now woman.....get away from meeeeeeeee,
American woman, I'm gonna stand to peeeeeeeeee...
As far as the moral values of the people in California are concerned, I don't think they are any worse than the rest of the country likes to think,they are just honest about the way they live. I have lived in the midwest and now am on the east cost, and have seen my share of not so nice stuff whereever you go. SOmetimes it seems that the rest of the US needs to have a state like California to beat on so they can feel better about themselves. I hope I didn't offend anyone here in particular, but you find all kinds of people everywhere.
And as for the second part of GL's summation of the California dating scene, "Most men marry, date or get involved with the most attractive woman they can afford" - I don't know that it's much different here on the whole. All you have to do is take a look at who gets lots of letters and who don't. Obviously everybody has to decide for themselves if they think they can afford to bring a woman and possibly her child to their country and care for them, but there is no denying that pretty women might get 50 letters in 2 weeks, whereas other ones might get 0 in 3 months - clearly it's about looks here as well. (statisticaly speaking)
JJ,
Maybe your message is too damn subliminal for me, lol...b
But if you're trying to say that it's the same to choose a woman from FSU, who is culturally conditioned to devote herself to family life and who still finds the role of traditional wife as honorable and one of prestigious social status to her counterpart from California or from most of the other western states/countries who are culturally conditioned to tell their men to "do it yourself" when he wants a warm home-cooked meal at the table after working all day long outside the house to give her a decent living...you're dreaming or do not get out of the country much.
I admit we all run the risk of seeing our FSU ideal woman be converted by the first feminazi american woman she befriends once she comes to our country...but I gladly take that risk than settle down with a western male castrating bitch hell bent on butching her hair after the first kid...
No, they're not all like that....only the vast majority, lol
JJ, why do you even bother to argue the point. You could not have been paying attention to the social scene when you were in California or maybe you lived in a small community up north.... L.A. county area has a reputation for being as Toad describes for a reason. It is worse there, than most other places.........and as far as the women on this site goes, ......there are plenty of pretty girls who have no one writing to them.......check out their stats and you'll see.
I wasn't trying to offend anyone who contributes to this forum, I was just sharing my experience. I found plenty of shallow people whereever I lived, whether that's California, Minnesota, or East Coast. I suppose in my heart I still like California, and just feel it's unfair how the rest of the country looks down upon them as morally inferior, that's all. I found that in California people accept you for who and what you are and they don't bather you whereas in the Midwest and East Coast if you are not from "here" and don't conform to their expectations they will not be so nice. As for the dating philosophy of people, you may be right,obviously I can't prove my point with statistics.
Man - you are right that there are plenty of pretty girls with few letters written to them, but you have to admit those that are true knockouts get disproportionately many - which proves that statistically speaking most men on this site also go for the looks, just as somebody was describing a California man's dating philosophy. How else would you explain some of these Miss Wow's getting 3-400 letters in couple of months? If a girl shows a bit of skin in her photos men will flock to her like flies. And if a girl has a pretty face but maybe a bit heavier than model look, nobody will write to her.
