[QUOTE=Sleazebum;1147691]There is too much pure ***** training going on in our schools and culture to make any American woman whiney, demanding, and high maintenance pigs. My first wife was one and I will never see another.[/QUOTE]Amen, brother! I was just having this conversation with an old friend yesterday. He is now married (to an American) but otherwise felt the same way. He never traveled outside the US; I've been just about everywhere and just can't seem to find a single woman here who doesn't act like Helen Hunt on Mad About You constantly berating poor Paul Reiser. I've never wanted a woman to wait on me, all I've wanted is a little mutual respect and partnership in life, but damn it if women here in DC can't find some way to blame you for every little unhappiness in their lives. And for such a sensitive gender, don't they have a way of just being vicious and emasculating in their attacks?
Some people who know me well know that I step out as we all do to the local AMPs, and what my little trips down to Costa Rica or the Caribbean are really about. They also know that I am a good and otherwise decent man, and why I choose to do so rather than hunt for a civilian, and I think in a way they are almost envious. While I don't go around yelling it from mountain tops I don't feel in the least bit ashamed or stigmatized by the fact that I hobby.
If I were to ever get married it would probably be to a nice lady from South America, Thailand, or the Philippines. No swearing, no false pretense about football, but someone who can honestly be relied on to share an equal albeit feminine role in a relationship.
