Finding foreign women in the U.S.A.

[Bricks]

That probably wouldnt be a relationship built on love or mutual values. Just one based on how cool you are. It sounded like Celtic_Jorge would have been just a fashion accessory. "How many pockets do you have on your pants?" Well that'd vary by the particular pair of pants. Is a pair with 10 pockets more cool than one with 4? What is the proper answer to this question???

I always wondered what would happen if on those online profiles, a man were to put he is 5'11.5'', just half an inch shy of that magical 6' they seem to require. Would the AWs say, "Well I can compromise. It is only half an inch, after all!"

Somehow I doubt it. They'd probably say, "That guy is a short loser. Certainly not good enough for the goddess diva that I am!"

Well Henry I happen to fall right in that height category, 5'11.6" -  6'
 It has been several years since I bothered with dating sites, but at one time I was on 6 of them. The sites where I put my height as 6' I got twice as many hits, but half as many dates, as the 5' 11.6 sites. Just close guesstimates... But enough that it was easy to notice, and the results were amusing. The women in the 6 ft club were mostly of the same type. IE, taller and generally hotter. I, of course was just not quite tall enough, and who was I to say, after all I am not quite 6 ft. I fibbed.

Funny thing is, I wasn't even dressed sloppily in my pictures.  I'm not overweight.  No offence to anyone who is.  In most of them, I wore a polo shirt and a pair of jeans.  I never wear shorts, or really t-shirts either.  In a couple photos I was in a Celtic top, but come on, I was in Celtic Park in the photos.

Seems to me that she was was just looking for reasons to reject me.

I was pretty much rejected by one of the Chinese girls today, who when I asked her if we could have lunch sometime, just said "I am really not sure.  I don't know.  We'll see."  Seems like a nice "no".  

Asian babes in the states...very fickle.

I met and dated a Japanese girl when she was here visiting from Tokyo.   I was one of the few Americans she knew personally.  

The ones born and raised here, I just don't feel you will get the full experience of a Japanese, Chinese or Pinay female.

If I were you, I would do some culling of my own, don't be on only one doing the dumping!

You should be looking for a narrow band of potential babes.  Ones that are living here but haven't been here more than a year, have few if any American friends, think America is nice to visit but loves the traditions of her country!

She shouldn't be the only one asking questions and doing the dumping!

So is that the international uniform of the sex tourist? Do the promiscuous women recognize it and hang around? Maybe I need to get some clothes like that the next time I travel. Where do you buy that kind of stuff?  

Hey Jeff,

Well worth the investment! I have my ISTU's custom made. With your height, you may also have to. Notice the twin camera setup...twice the action!  


Most people can buy ISTU's off the rack at any kinki gerlinki...


or Hung manshop...whose motto is; "Your not a real man, until you've been Hung!"

I was pretty much rejected by one of the Chinese girls today, who when I asked her if we could have lunch sometime, just said "I am really not sure.  I don't know.  We'll see."  Seems like a nice "no".   

Not necessarily.  Right now, you're just some guy on the internet she doesn't know.  How can she be sure you're not some freak stalker that's going to follow her home and rape and kill her?  It happens, you know.  And she knows.  So take her at her word, 'we'll see' and just be patient.  If you come across as desperate, you'll scare off the good ones.  I'd keep e-mailing her, but not bring it up again for several months (unless she brings it up first).

[Celtic_Jorge]

Anyway, I can't stand watching that game anymore.  I don't ask anyone twice.  She said no, that's the end of it.  She's not a "good one", she's a grubby, gold digging $%#@, if you'd seen our conversation.  My housing situation (although not with my parents, still not up to her standard I guess) and the type of car (second hand just won't do it for her) I drive is what called it off.  Its amazing how happy I was being single until about six months ago.  If only I could get back to that mindset I was in before.  But meh no sense in talking about it here, I really don't think I am going to bother much trying to talk to women for another year or so, I need to concentrate on my job.

I got one suggestion for ya.....The Philippines!

After you finish with all the materialistic cosmo bitches in Asia, once you experience a woman from the Philippines you will regret ever ignoring the land of over 7,000 islands!

Don't get me wrong, you got plenty of scammers, bar girls and cosmo bitches in PI, but once you know how to find the jewels you will have hundreds to choose from and all they want from you is your love!  (assuming you can provide the basic food, shelter and manly protection and love that any person needs in a relationship)

Just my 2 cents!

Yeah, but that would involve international travel and the use of vacation time he doesn't have yet.  Heck, I know a sweet spunky little J-bird from the 'burbs of Tokyo I could set him up with tomorrow, and if he's patient could be married to by this time next year.  But it would involve a good deal of travel with no promises that neither seems to have time for right now.

True....Just trying to cheer him up!

Before anyone considers Korean women, first he must ask himself why Korean men are running from them the same way AM are running from AWs.

You guessed. it. Or not. Marriage to the Chinese and Vietnamese is considered interracial. <rubs chin> Inter-ethnic perhaps? <shrugs>

Average Interracial Marriage Costs W13 Million ($10,600 USD)

By Kwon Mee-yoo
Staff Reporter

Korean spouses have spent an average 13 million won ($10,600) in costs for interracial marriages, the Korea Consumer Agency (KCA) said Monday after surveying 266 matchmaking agencies.

"We conducted a survey of 1.044 companies but only 266 of them properly answered. The rest of them are marginal ones,'' said Choi Eun-sil of the KCA.

Interracial marriages in Korea are increasing year by year, from 4,710 in 1990 to 36,204 in 2008. More than 28,000 Korean men married foreign spouses last year, more than double (correction: triple) the 8,000 Korean women who married expatriate men.

The most popular country of origin for interracial spouses was Vietnam followed by China.

It takes an average of 88 days, or about three months, to complete an interracial marriage through agencies ― from the Korean applicant's departure to interview with his or her prospective spouse and their entry here.

The average annual sales of these matchmaking agencies were 48 million won, but more than one third of them earned less than 10 million won last year.

The companies consulted in an average of 18 cases per month, but succeeded in matchmaking only 9 couples a year.

You can find similar news stories from Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and even China. There are men in all those countries who go to Vietnam, Mongolia, or Laos to seek a bride.

'Asian' is a western concept that many (most?) 'Asians' do not understand.

I think that JM nailed this one - grouping different peoples/cultures into the same 'Asian' category isn't something that I have seen a whole lot of in Asia.  The Chinese think that the Japanese & Koreans are just as foreign as Americans - they are all Lao Wai in their eyes.

Learn something new everyday. when I was a kid, I went to this Catholic grammar school and one of the nuns had been to Korea for some mission. She honestly said that she couldnt tell Korean from Japanese from Chinese, except one had eyes that slant up, another slants down, and another sideways.

I still remember this to this very day.

[Jeff S]

She can't tell a German from a Russian from a Portuguese from a Brit either, except for the way they talk, walk, eat, act and interact with others. Mexicans and Arabs look a lot alike too. It doesn't mean they share any common culture or language.

There are much wider cultural differences between Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese than there are between different strains of Europeans, and between the languages, even though the writing had a common root. It's far more different than Russian is from English.

Japan spent 1000 years as enemies of China and has multiple times brutally occupied Korea. This has given each of the countries much to distrust and disdain about the others. Japanese consider themselves far more similar to Americans as they do to Chinese.

Hey Jeff,

Very true...and Filipinos are very Hispanic and American in culture.
