Why We're Still Single: The Get A Clue Workshop for Men #4

What country did this guy move to?

[sabradan]

I dunno, this rant seemed a bit one-sided and whinging/whiny. I can't exactly put my finger on why, but it seemed to be very...I dunno, I can't even put words to it other than extremely whiny. Your point seems to be a good one, but you didn't do it justice in the way you presented it, imho. But then again, that's just my opinion.

Jennifer Aniston IS Jewish!!!

[groovyhoovy613]

@chodeshadar18 are you sure? post a link! if so, it was a bad example ;-)

[chodeshadar18]

@groovyhoovy613 Ermmm. I just checked her Wiki bio and it turns out she's Greek-Irish. I guess her Rachel Green performance had me fooled...not that I was ever a big fan of Friends. Shalom!

[ZimmermanHound]

@chodeshadar18 No she aint. She is Greek-Ortodox from her fathers side and something "of everything" on her mothers side.

GroovyHoovy, you got to find some normal men to meet..... hopefully you'll have better stories.

[TJ347]

American women are the absolute worst. Women in virtually every other country are far better, because they aren't so superficial. American women are stuck on the latest fashion, US Weekly and similar garbage covering the lives of people they'll never meet, and similar nonsense like the Twilight movies. I'm looking for a woman to build a future with and have a family, so sadly I have to go elsewhere.

[kmsoileau]

You are missing the point. Of course it's POSSIBLE to find a good woman in the USA. And it's POSSIBLE to find diamonds in Arkansas. But it's much easier to find diamonds in South Africa. So why should someone work like a dog to find diamonds in Arkansas, when it's much easier to travel to South Africa and look for diamonds there?

American women suck. Just sayin'.

Of course, the guy you describe has silly reasoning. But if someone has a strong reason to believe that he (or she) is better off moving (or simply traveling for dates) elsewhere, they have a right for such an opinion. Sometimes a person looks for a specific background, and there might be more people with such background in other cities or countries.

[abenm613]

Of course, the guy you described has silly reasoning. But that doesn't mean that, for some men (and, perhaps, some women as well) moving abroad might be a real opportunity to expose themselves to a larger crowd of potential partners they're looking for.

[abenm613]

Wether it's a man who claims that "women are shallow", or a woman who claims that there are "no good men left anymore", my suggestion is that they should first look for the source of the problem within themselves. However, if someone for some reason decides that he's more likely to find his soulmate in another city or country, he has a right for his opinion.

[abenm613]

I totally agree with you here for the most part. As a general observation, losers of both genders often attribute their own dating woes to the faults of the opposite gender.

Wait a minute I wrote you just to make a connection and you have not responded . How can a Jewish guy meet if your not responding ?

Exterior is what we guys look at first with heart and soul at the same time . I personally like olive skin and dark hair . A shiksa blonde will not do it for me ... Dov in St Louie !

[BrooklynGuido]

Where are the Jewish girl like you groovyhoovy613. I live in St Louis efo banot yuhudiot . I really don't want a shiksa . First off I prefer olive skin and dark hair over blonde hair and pale skin . The girl must have a good heart . I don't if she is nice as long as she is kind. Dov

[abenm613]

Some guys have a difficulty finding a girl in their area who would want them. Some of these guys acknowledge the problem and realize that [before considering any moves or long-distance dates] they should try to solve the problem from within. Others are too embarrassed to admit it and, instead, blame it on girls' "superficiality". And I'm sure some girls are like that, too. Instead of making themselves more presentable, they blame all men for looking for wrong things.

[abenm613]

Let's look at this issue from a different angle. Some of my "friends" keep suggesting that I should travel abroad for a shidduch (which I don't want to do). I realize that their suggestions is based on assumption that I'm not up to the local girls' standards (sometimes they even say so explicitly). Since my self-esteem is still high, I'm not listening to them. But I do suspect that your friend has a problem with his own self-esteem.

[fsroor]

well there are many sterotypes of men all over the world some men are too deamding and very choosey over the girls who they want to date so thats makes it hard for him to get a girl from his own country :d

[groovyhoovy613]

yes, we don't see our own blindspots!

isn't it ironic?

i'm still waiting for an answer to that email that i read. the funny thing will be if he ends up mtg a girl on jdate who is from here or something like that.

The grass is always greener? Nope. People are people. My tatti always said, "If the whole word is a bunch of meshugas, it is time to look in the mirror'
