I think people are generally confusing cultural difference (American vs non-American) with class difference (high class vs low class). When some of you praise your elegant, graceful, and beautiful Asian wife/girlfriend, I'm sure you're not talking about a poor factory worker in Canton. The very fact that she was able to meet you, already filters her to be among the top elite from China/Japan. I have no experience with Filippinos so I don't know how their mail-order brides work out. But in general the Asians you see are at least upper-middle class, at least for two generations, often many more generations. OTOH, the Americans you see are most likely much lower in class status. That's why they seem to lack the good mannerism and quality usually required of a happy marriage. BTW, before you tell me that the American girl was making 100k a year, class is not defined by how much money you make. It's defined by how you're brought up. That cannot be faked. That's also why it takes a number of generations of good education to really define your class. Bill Clinton makes millions, and he's been the president. But he's still showing his true class by the way he chases women, and by the women he chases.
Yes I have mentioned this a couple of posts ago. As with many of these threads, a lot of posters are more concerned with "expressing" themselves, than considering new information. I don't have a particular problem with it. In fact it illustrates another point as follows; In many asian cultures (Japan & China for sure) a female from a "good" family will not even talk to you (assuming you are a Occidental male) unless you can obtain an introduction, or you can prove that you are from an equally "good" family. And finally, there is one more element that should be considered. When talking about "upbringing" one should not confuse it with intelligence. Your comment about Bill Clinton is an apt one. Former President Clinton is by all accounts a brilliant man. He is a Rhodes Scholar, with a very high IQ, and yet he behaved like a low-life hillbilly while in office, chasing skirt and wolfing down Big Macs and fries. Its about character, not money, not intelligence. Steve
Aren't you the one who turned down a hot little Asian? Maybe you are a virgin. A GAY virgin at that! LOL... BTW... Alex_in_Oz sounds like you have your wiener in some guys butt. Do you wish you were inside Ozzy Osbourne's butt or something? Pervert.
Did you say you were "beating" OZ? You don't have to explain what you mean by that one... LOL... Pervert.
LivermoresGhost? Have you blown your account as many times as he did? Do you plan to blow off your head like he did? Do you believe in Ghosts? Then you are a retarded idiot... LOL... Pervert.
BTW... I won't be participating in this thread anymore. Any guy who has to wonder whether any woman is better than another woman no matter where she lives... Should probably join the Gay Liberation Army. Period. How many dumb threads can even be started at ET anyway?...
While I think that this thread has many disgruntled and meanhearted posts, the issue of cultural differences amongst the way the sexes interrelate with each other in a given culture is worth discussing. In order to truly decide what you like in a woman (or another person in general) it is worth having been exposed to different cultures. Only travel and preferably living in another country gives you that perspective.

"She is my equal and best friend". I don't trust guys that have females as equals, cause I don't know if the female has the dick, or you have the dick. "And best friends"?!! What do you talk about with a female best friend? Panty hose. I am old school male chauvinist. I rap with my buddies. The females can rap togather, and I wouldn't even be able to tell where they are coming from, real women talk different from men. American men have placed women on a pedistal and bowed down and worshiped their ass. Remember how men would raise their hats to women and stand when a woman entered the room? What was that about? Now broads are acting like queens. A woman must not be glorified. A woman must be banged and ravished, and her femininity yielding to the man. Then she will be the perfect wife, and your delight forever. "A woman as your best friend!!?? Clearly, American men have lost control of the situation. You can hardly turn on the tv without seeing two girls with their tongues down each other's throats. Clearly, the men have not been ruling. And which audience are they entertaining with that? Don't they let them know that that activity belongs to men, and that men are jealous that females are trespassing on other females. And what are all these fruits doing on tv telling females how to dress and how to act as females? Women don't know how to be women anymore, to where a fruit becomes the expert on things female?? Yeah. You have to look long and hard to find a real woman today, the girls are all acting like tom boys.
