I don't think you can blame Lancer for being tired with those games all the time, even if he isn't putting it very gracefully.

Consider this: Boy meets girl. Boy is interested in girl. Boy finds out girl has another boy so boy backs off. Boy finds girl blowing hot and cold every time they meet. Girl approaches boy. Boy is wary. Boy notices girl and other boy broke up. Girl proposes boy to booze at boy's place. Girl flashes signals. Boy notices girl constantly interacting with other boy. Girl blows hot and cold again. Boy wants to back off again. Boy goes to party and finds girl acting hot again. Boy calls girl. Boy meets girl day after together with other boy. Girl acts aloof to boy and not to other boy. Boy meets girl and other boy again later that day. Girl displays signals with boy and acts aloof to other boy. Boy is pissed and just wants girl to sod the **** off.

boy meets girl.. fall in love ... marry... talk about children... 8 years later girl finds out boy can't have children .. doesn't want children and lied to get her to marry him... girl dumps him ... girl meets another boy falls in love ... marries.. he beats her.. among other wonderful things... girl leaves to survive.. girl meets another boy .. falls in love .. they get married.. he has a 4 year affair with a woman he works with... then dies..

boys are wonderful gems also...

but it doesn't mean i think all american men are worthless shits...
it doesn't mean im going to go around bashing all american men .

men are the same everywhere
some good .. some bad...

same with women..

but women don't have the same cultures all over the world... some women are repressed and used as property... maybe not in lancers wifes situation and im sorry for implying that.. lancer.

but i am sick of you saying all american women suck

we are all different .. maybe you have had some bad luck with american women.. well im sorry for you... ive had some really awful experiences myself.
but i still love american men.. and my best friend is a fine example.. i have many really great male friends.
all of them married or taken.. which the good ones usually are... but i still have hope that someday ill meet a nice man to be with... and if i don't im perfectly happy the way i am right now.. at least im not being abused or used ..

and i don't have to take any crap from lancer
about being one of those awful american women not worth bothering with...

so go sod off lancer..

You have to consider the fact that there is a book called The Rules in the US telling women how to play stupid mind games with men.

Also, in your hypothetical case of some guy lying to get married to a woman, it should be common knowledge to have a thorough body check before getting married. At least it is in my neck of the woods.

Still am. I consider chivalry to be a misogynistic anacronism among other things. I just think that it is silly to ignore that the "maybe I like you, maybe I don't" playing around practiced by a lot of women is horribly cruel, and derives from the ridiculous women have to play hard to get so they don't get seen as sluts morality.

Women acting more like men sexually is not a bad thing. It's progress. Denying our inherant sexuality and desires under the guise of 'morality' is absurd.

Boann, if that is a true story then I am stunned. Most guys wouldn't do that and I'm thinking there is something about the process you use to pick men that is a miss. I'm not trying to be a smarty pants but the one thing all those rotten guys have in common is you so you seem to be picking the wrong men.

Partly in response to Imran as well:

Reminds me of a movie in which there was a scene of girls chatting about a date, in which one of them tells the other that on a date a girl always has to be late. And that if the guy is late, it's game over for him.
A while later, I was talking about that scene with a friend of mine, and she tells me that's just crap. (she happens to be one of the few I know not play mind-tricks)

Society is just feeding that crap, there's nothing natural about it.

"and im sorry for implying that.. lancer."

I forgive you.


"but i am sick of you saying all american women suck"

Then you are sick of something I haven't said.

"so go sod off lancer.."

I have freedom of speech and will use it as I see fit. Helping a guy who can't figure out why a girl goes to bed with him but isn't interested is one of those cases where I see fit.

Perhaps you should add me to your ignore list. I think if you do this you won't be able to see my posts, though I'm not sure. If you do this you might be less inclined to post that I treat my wife as property, or should have gotten a blow up doll, or whatever other sick things you've written, I don't recall your exact words.

Ok? Put me on ignore, thanks.

My wife is free thinking. However she doesn't nag, she's not all the time finding fault, not overly critical...instead she's helpful and cooperative instead of contentious. She isn't demanding, she doesn't expect me to meet financial criteria as a way of proving my love. I don't have to go into debt every birthday and valantines day. I can put my feet up on the coffee table and so does she if she wants. She speaks well of me and I of her.

It's not all about her, it's about us. Finally, I have a woman that makes me truly happy to be with, and I feel for guys who can't comprehend whatever BS they're getting put through by some western women, so I try to help them out.

Some western women hate that, which is ok by me, really.


Gee, I got all of that and didn't have to go halfway around the world.

He and his wife are happier than most people I know and they are good, decent people. So who is to stand here in judgement of them.

Bottom line is that they are happy people, who gives a damn how they met.

I agree with you, even though I can understand the need not to appear too willing. That friend I mentioned in my previous post has had A LOT of boyfriends who treated her like crap, essentially because she didn't play it by the rules. Luckily she now appears to have found someone who won't abuse her honesty.

Whenever I see a girl who at first sight looks like a slut or who's labelled as a slut, I'm inclined to believe she's just not playing the game as she's expected to. With at least some of them, when I got to see their other side, they actually appeared extremely insecure and shy.

It goes both ways...

It's not how they met that caused the problem, it's the constant pimping of Phillipinas that grates on the nerves.

We would neither know, nor care, where Lancer met his wife, if he didn't post about it in every single thread.

or better yet just blow up a doll that would cost less.



Btw, my wife actually does live here with me in the US. She's shocked at the way some American women treat their husbands and talk about them to others at work. She thinks less of some American women than I do. Dolores has freedom to go and do as she pleases, which she does. She likes to spend her time at home with her husband. Dolores has had her freedom since she was born, the Phils is a free country as is the US. However filipnias don't choose to do the same with their freedom that many 'enlightened' western women do. They care about themselves, their reputations, and they love their husbands and respect their husbands opinion and point of view. "Slave girl"? "your quiet little slave girl."
Woman, you are offensive.

"who just wants a ride to america,"

You think you know my wife's motives? Ever met her? Do you think for a second she would say such a thing about you?

Enough of this waste of time.

I find the same about 'playas'. There is a reason why they display a macho exterior all the time. It's like that old cliche about the macho homophobe really being gay underneath it all.

The 'rules' of society make them feel they have to overcompensate for their shyness and insecurities. They have to show their manliness.

Lance does mention it alot, that's true.

But I think he just sees the younger guys that are frustrated and wants to help them out, share something that he has found that has worked for him.

I think what made me really mad was boann's post with the whole, "slave girl" thing. Especially since she doesn't even know Lance and is basing alot of it on generalizations. I mean it totally sounds like a Dateline story.

I can just see Jane Pauley now. "But how do these girls REALLY feel? I went with my crew to find out just that."

For the record - getting hit in the head really hard hurts substantially less then getting hit in the nuts. You are knocked out cold. Now the waking up, swelling, ice packs, etc. for several days - that hurts ALOT more.

Boann - sorry to hear about you bad luck. I do agree with Oerdin. I found myslef at 29 out of a five year bad relationship, with friends who preferred hammer and tong arguments, and had to reexamine why I had picked so many unpleasant people in my life. I realized that (and this has been written about) that I had a high tolerance for those people, due to my father. I said "Screw this, I want to be happy." I'm still working on it, but my life is much better now, even with other problems outside my control that suck.

I dont think boann said that lances wife in particular was a slave girl. she may have made a generalization. Just as the older mexicans did, the ladies served then men. in the united states women dont do this so to attack boann for a simple comment might be a bit off.
Yes lancer does have a tendency to mention to all of the folks here to go get a phill woman. Has it occured that that might be an insult to the america woman??? I guess not by all means lets just all roll over and play stupid like this hasnt been going on for a while now. Im glad that lancer is happy with his wife thats al god but i do regret to say i might have been offended by him saying the phill ladies are better then the american ones

I always say 'many' western women, to avoid such generalizations.

Certainly there must be western women who a very good.

However many western women ignore that in order to accuse me of something else.
