- Strongly disagree. The above behaviour is motivated by a wish to get
- the man the female wants, not to let him show off after he's nailed.
-
- > 1. Asian women look prettier longer than American women.
- > Their faces do not wrinkle as quickly.
-
- To a small degree that might be true. I doubt how much value that
- would have by itself.
-
- > American men expect the face of the girl they marry to be pretty.

-
- True, but I don't have how valid the above explanation of it is.
-

-
- Wow! Hold your horses. I was married to a model. Nope, if ability
- to wear high fashion clothes has anything to do with it, I would have
- still been married. Just look at MTV. No, American women can dress
- just fine, and when they're in their prime they can look deadly.

- ^^^^^^
- You're about to hit the nail right on the head.
-
- > ie. "She's very beautiful AND she takes care of me!
- > Do you wish that you were me? Are you envious?"
-
- true... only because *care* is a forgotton word in this society
-
- > 2. Thai women value the family more than the individual.
- > American women are trained to think opposite. Thai women

-
- Yes!
-

-
- As hopefully they both will. Yes, a concept of aging together seems
- as distant to American women as monogamy. Anything that requires
- thinking and commitment beyond tomorrow is an unthinkable burden and a
- cruel and unusual punishment.
-
- As a side consequence of this "who cares about tomorrow" attitude,
- American women want to have the right to do anything they wish, but
- they want to take no responsibility for the results of their actions.
- If anything happens, it is the man who is at fault and who ends up
- paying for it one way or the other.

- I think you spent too much time on PatPong and Soi Cowboy. Those

- Nonsense. I think you are confusing certain areas in Bangkok or

- Why, by no means. But then I would say that Thai men are very

-
- This is, IMHO, the most important reason why American men like Asian

- American men still believe in family and cooperation, not hatred and
- competition within family.
