There you go Version. Socrates was constantly nagged and said it taught him patience. I am more "Taming of the Shrew" style.
Patience? There is a wonderful show called "6 feet under". In one of the episodes a wife is standing at the sink, doing dishes, and going off on her husband. As the camera moves in on her face, her husband suddenly takes a frying pan and slams her over the head with it, killing her. Watching that scene in my house, every guy in the room stood up and yelled "Yes!!!...." Everyone knows what it is like to endure that crap. In my opinion, Socrates was a pussy and a mincing prancing interior decorating homo. Growing up in my neighborhood, Socrates would have got his little fairy ass kicked every day. I think that about covers it for Socrates.
Speaking from experience, the OP is correct. I was married to a typical American bitch, had a couple kids, then she wanted to get divorced. I paid child support and alimony (luckily she remarried). Now I am married to a Russian beauty. She's is almost six feet tall and 15 years younger.
Agree with the OP 100%. I love America and as anyone who has read my posts know, I am not anti-american. However, the women in the US are clearly not the right type to marry. Which is why I married a Russian woman I met while working in moscow for several years. She's awesome, in every way.
Everyone forgot to mention, that even the foreign women, who have been in the US too long, gets assimilated into US females' mindsets. I've heard that, Oprah Winfrey's shows are to blame
