Well...it seems there are far more women than men down under, so perhaps you single guys should head that way

I really wonder whether these places will have a more matriarchal society. I used to think that we were moving to a more matriarchal society in the US, but as I grow older and experience more in life, it becomes clearer to me that even though there is a good measure of equality in our society, it is still and probably forever will be patriachal.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I didn't read the entire article (call me lazy). But I'm curious. Why are there more women than men? Or is it just 30 something men as the article initially suggests?

Being as these are fairly recent countries in their existance, I would still expect a heavy male population. In the american west, especially in the state of Nevada. We have a much higher male population than female population. One main reason is mining is our dominant industry (not including gaming/tourism). This was the reason why prostitution was legalized. Throughout america's history, there have always been women shortages throghout the western U.S. And there still are today.

When Navy ships stop their for port visits the local girls fling themselves over barriers to get to the peir. Not all ugly popers either. In fact quite the opposite.

that's what I've always heard. But I have trouble believing it.

That's why I always wanted west coast navy, so I can go to Australia. . But even then, I doubt I would get laid. In all the European countries (and middle eastern), women ignored me as they do in the U.S. And they cleaned up places like Naples, Italy. I used to hear they had prostitutes everywhere. I didn't see any there, the 2 times I was there. So I couldn't even get that if I had wanted it.

The Australian thing is true. If we were following the ROE we probobly should have mowed them down with machine guns for rushing the ECP.

Okay, not really

Cartagena Spain had all kinds of sluts. Good time.

The Middle Eastern woman ignored you because you didn't offer them money. Almost every woman I saw at a resturant/lobby/club was whore on the UAE/Bahrain. It got annoying.

The respectable woman don't go out.

Ok, I just read the article; the reason I left the country is because 1. It is boring in New Zealand when you have lived there for 20 years, NZ does not change very quickly. If you are retiring, and you live in a city, then retire to New Zealand. Seriously.

And 2. The women in NZ and AUS (Yes, I know all about Australia, what NZ'er wouldn't?) are annoying as hell. They're *****y, controlling, and thanks to Britney Spears, most are slutty tarts.

there are biological imperatives at work according to recent research- men and women tend to look for sexual partners outside their familiar gene pool for evolutionary reasons - we are hard wired to see difference as attractive because it leads to healthier genetic offspring - but not necessarily different race.

So when US ships come to Australia local women act in ways that they don't with the locals. Its the same when Australian navy ships go to the US.

Another big factor is feminism which is very strong in Australia and New Zealand. This makes many local women a bit of a turn off to local men if they were honest about it. No so much because they disagree with women's rights but the locals can be very obnoxious about it. otoh, the independence of local women might be attractive to outsiders.

Cha-ching! That just about sums up what I look for in a woman. Someone who isn't all (I need you ALL the time) or the infamous "but...why?.....why?....why?....why? (ad naseum)"

Aussie women are cool in that they're like one of the boys, but yet...they aint.

I just want to go to Australia because of the US exchange rate...it's supposed to be favorable for the US.

we have up to 200,000 people migrating here per year. That's 1% of pop being added every year, which is substantial.

This is cute, population to the minute

quote:


On 28 July 2005 at 15:15:51 (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be:


20,369,580

This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 31 December 2004 and assumes growth since then of:

one birth every 2 minutes and 4 seconds,
one death every 3 minutes and 53 seconds,
a net gain of one international migrant every 4 minutes and 10 seconds leading to
an overall total population increase of one person every 2 minutes and 9 seconds.
These assumptions are consistent with those used for Series B in Population Projections, Australia 2002 to 2101 (cat. no. 3222.0).



http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs%...63?OpenDocument

a net gain of one migrant every 4 minutes gives you some idea of the pace of immigration here - and we've doing it since WWII.

You aren't poaching the right ones.

You should be advertising for immigrants on college campuses. 'We' steal yours, you steal 'ours'.

Christ, you could depopulate the next generation of Canadian engineers and doctors if they knew they could get jobs, a tan year round, and there was more than plenty of Shielas to go around.

Our pay rate down here is what drives our people away. They can pay their student loans back quicker if they move overseas plus they just generally earn more. Tis good incentive. However the coming election is shaping up to be a bit of a student bribe.
