... in response to Financial "help" expectations, posted by Jersey Mike on Aug 18, 2003I think you've stumbled upon the very essence of how American males have been brainwashed by American women and American society to think we have to 'pay' for a woman's company in one form or another and can't do enough to please them.
They (American women) have worked so hard to unimmasculate (is that a word?) us as a species that we have become almost neutered. We are the lap dog that has been kicked and beaten and yelled at to the point that we cower whenever they come around but still can't do enough to gain their favor.
Our self-esteem has taken a beating to the point that we KNOW they will not have anything to do with us unless we constantly worship them and feed their ego and provide something tangible in order for them to even give us the time of day.
And they wonder why we look to other countries for female companionship and mates.
Of course that could just be me.
