Its a pity you northern hemisphere guys cant read Mike00s writing: He brings some much needed humour to the forum.
If Mike wrote a book Id buy it. Would matter if I agreed with what he said or not.
You guys miss out.
Sorry Addy, I don't find humor in hypocrisy. Just my opinion. Also some guys can get the impression the chauvanism is accepted in the FSU. It will get them slapped down in a hurry. Humor is one thing idiocy is another.
Nas.
The hypocrisy clearly belongs to others.
Humour is individual but can you think of anyone else that brings humour to the board?
The board would be good if it wasnt ALL taken so seriously.
You cannot put all FSU countries in a basket, but to say that FSU country don’t accept chauvinism is wrong, Russia is a fairly bad chauvinistic country, Ukraine much less, but not were near western standard, I live in UA and I see chauvinism in every level, obviously there are the exceptions that confirm the rule.
Quasi, you're getting boring. Just because a country is chauvanistic doesn't mean the women accept it or like it. It doesn't mean a rats ass to them how the locals act. If your a foreigner and act like that they'll toss you to the curb. They can find that on any corner they live on.
Since your comprehension skills are on the blink. I can spell it out for you if you like. Whether it's practiced in a country in the FSU, a foreigner will get hammered for it. Since you live in the UA you probably know that already.
The FSU woman is programmed to respond to a certain level of chauvinism. The western male is largely emancipated.
The reason foreign guys get walked all over is not their show of chauvinism
But their lack of
Western guys dont lay their jacket over the pundle, they throw themselves in it.
That might be ok, but the guy expects nothing for it and thats exactly what they get.
Sadly I have to agree with Adman, by a sizable number of women in the FSU’s countries chauvinism it is seen as sign of a “strong man”, and when they see a western man “throwing themselves to the puddle” it could be seen most likely as a sign of a puny man, I am shock sometime to hear story how local men do approach women, and I can tell you we would not get away in the west, rape and sexual harassment charges will be on us like a bullet, what is more surprise to me is some women accept that behaviour as a sign of a “real man”, not all women, but a fair percentage, in the country side this is more prominent.
Regrettable foreigners acting towards a women as they would in the west (and as they should anyway) in some cases they are taken for a ride, emotionally and financially.
Nasfan I understand but not agree with your point, I don’t see the need for you to insist in these silly insults, save your self some typing and just discuss the point.
In my opinion after talking to and meeting Ukrainian woman for awhile now if you are a "nice" guy they will walk all over you and get upset at you for it because they see you as weak. If you don't stand up to them right away they will continue to test you and see how far they can push it. If you basically draw a line in the sand with them right away about what you will not take (gold digging is huge example) they will either get mad and want nothing to do with you or they will back down and accept it. But I know from experience that being Mr. Nice Guy and just doing whatever these girls say and want you to do is a big no-no. If they have a lot of bad behaviour early on, hoping they will change later on you are just setting yourself up to fail with them because it's not going to happen.
As for Western woman I am convinced most of them want to be with a big arrogent chauvonistic jerk who treats them like crap. (although they say they want to be treated well by a nice man) I can't believe how many really great looking super sweet women end up with guys like this here. Maybe if I wasn't such a nice guy and treated them like garbage they would want to be with me too. But as it is they don't give me the time of day. Go figure...
I told my wife before we were married don't let my benevolence be considered a sign of weakness, because it isn't. You can be nice, kind and strong. You have to draw a line in the sand from the beginning. If not you will walked on by unscrupulous women.So if the bad ones walk away who cares. The good ones also understand you not there trying to buy them like some commodity and appreciate being treated like a woman.
Taking exception to your story about the Texan getting robbed in St. Petersburg.
1. "Big fat Yank" O.K. probably true.
2. "Cap on backwards" O.K. true again but didn't you get the cap wearing memo?
3. "I own half of Texas!" "I got more than you!" O.K. Yes we do say that a lot, even when not getting robbed.
4. "Wearing a 1970's N.Y. Jets t-shirt" LIAR!! Your story has fallen apart. No Texan would wear that!
"Uncle Sam's economy stricken country." I'll just keep on buying...with my cap on backwards...
