Why foreign women make better wives?

[Credo]

Nope.  The "normal" position is seat down and lid closed.  Why? 

Because when you flush the toilet small droplets of water that can be contaminated with fecal bacteria are aerosolized and end up all over your bathroom.  Including your tooth brushes, razors, toothpaste, cups ... the whole lot.

Putting the seat and lid down before flushing minimizes that.

So the default position should be seat down, lid closed.

Wait.... so I shouldn't pee in the sink anymore?

Real men open bottles by flicking the caps off with their thumbs.

I know a fellow who has in times past opened bottles with his teeth .

The last posting by RRR is an atrocious slander against the women who live here under Old Glory.

Not to say that all the women I've dated don't fit all those negative descriptions... but the foreign women I've dated aren't much different. In fact, the two most man-hating girls I've met were both foreign. There was a Chinese girl I liked because she was very intelligent, successful, and makes about twice as much money as my mom..... but she was a terrible date. The other girl was from Mexico City and going to flight school to be a commercial pilot (doesn't get much sexier than that).... but I invited her on a date last weekend and she didn't even show up!

On the other hand, the most domestic girls I've dated were as American (and Texan) as possible, but.... meh.

Finally, my dear mother is a foreign woman and she's a careerist with little domestic skill to speak of. My dad was hoping for a housewife and that kind of blew up in his face. After all, she wouldn't have gotten here to the States if she stayed home and married a local.

You've managed to insult me across the board. Southern, American, first generation from a Spanish - speaking country , and a woman.

But, for her sake, you must imitate Christ (sacrificing all for her) and embrace your gender roles as steward, provider, protector. Otherwise, you do injustice to her.

....at least you got that part right.

Here's a little something, though -

For all your complaining, as well as that of other men, you claim to desire a  beautiful, feminine Catholic woman with brains, a sense of humor, who is affectionate and that knows how to take care of her husband and children..... yet many of them run when they see her coming. Many men seem to confuse kindness and affection for stupidity.

What a ridiculous post.

I'm going to Mass.

Oh no, a flag waving 'Merican.  ;)

So American, I wrap myself up at night with the American flag like Benjamin Martin's dead wife's sister in The Patriot.

(Not really; but as a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, it's my job to salute "Old Glory" at Reveille and Retreat. I am a patriot and I generally prefer to buy American, including women. And despite living in the heart of Texas, I have a standard "newscaster" accent.)

I wish what you said was true. 

You have never encountered these Schizophrenic contradictions in Americanized women:

"He should pay for this date, but paying for a date does not mean he is in charge of me"

"I want to be in control of the relationship, but he better not be some wuss"

"Where have all the cowboys gone, but he better be under my cowgirl shoes"

"Men have gender roles (job, making money, mowing the lawn), but saying women have gender roles is sexist"

Of course. All the time.

You didn't even try to read the bible quotes to women or inform women of the marriage debt.

I didn't say anything about that because I never have a bone to pick with the divinely inspired word. It tends to have bad consequences for people who do.

Look, I've been rejected by American women for every puerile reason in the book. But women are women, and that doesn't really change from country to country. If they behave "better" anywhere else, it's because they were raised a certain way, but usually once they get a taste of how things are run here in the States, they "Americanize" quickly, as you say.

Point is: if I really wanted to marry a woman who wanted to stay home and massage my feet all day, I'd marry one who's been "raised American" and still freely chooses that lifestyle. It's better than marrying a trained monkey from the Ukraine who I take the trouble to bring here to the States, and who then absconds with half of my money once she thinks no one's looking.


Besides, my dad already married a foreigner, and I would feel kind of creepy if I did the same thing. I guess I wouldn't mind being someone's "exotic, mysterious husband with the English accent" in another country, though. I'm told that Americans are treated like celebrities or demigods in Hong Kong.

She enjoys housework

Who would enjoy housework? A woman who does housework does it because it needs to be done, much like any work. I don't know of anyone who enjoys the repetitive job of washing, scrubbing, sweeping, folding, dusting etcc. every day for the rest of their lives.

Because they have accents, and accents are unbelievably sexy. Unbelievably.
Especially, but not limited to:
South Africa
France
Argentina
Germany
Italy
Sweden
Middle East


I have done my research to back this up.

[didishroom]

Really? I work with too many people with accents-I find them annoying, actually. They can be kinda cool for like five minutes and then I'm struggling to understand them. Not ever worth the time.

Indeed. The novelty wears off really quickly.

However, faking foreign accents is a lot of fun. Unfortunately, after the first sentence or so I end up making up an accent that doesn't really exist outside my own imagination.
