4.9K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. SOME men think that, but certainly not a majority, much less ALL men. The ones who do think that way are mostly guys who want a girl who is more comfortable with traditional gender roles, where men work, provide for the family, and provide leadership for the family, and women stay home, manage the household and much of the child-raising. In MANY countries around the world, women do this and are perfectly happy and comfortable doing so, and that's much less true here in the US, where not only do women have much more OPPORTUNITY, but women have been told that it's WRONG for them to want to stick to traditional gender roles, and have been made to feel bad if they do.
While feminism in the US has certainly made many things better (for everyone), MILITANT feminism has done a lot of damage, and has left a lot of women who feel OBLIGATED to go to college and have a career even if what they really want to do is stay home, raise a family, and be a mom. And I think it's terrible that some women have been made to feel guilty for doing that. Real feminism recognizes that women should be able to CHOOSE what they want to do in life, and choosing to be a mom and housewife is a valid choice. It's certainly not the ONLY choice, but for those who want it, it's an honorable choice, because what could possibly be more important than raising your own children and giving them the love, care, and education that only you can give them?
Most other countries haven't had that, so they don't have the emotional baggage about being a housewife and mother, and men who struggle to find that in an American woman may choose to look to foreign women to find it.32 Reply- +1 y
I agree with a lot of what you said however, where I live I know many women who would love to stay home and take care of the house and children. Most men I talk to seem to have the attitude that their wives had better work outside the home and not expect the man to provide. That is why the question confused me.

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yIt's not just "American women". But I'd guess that women from many/any affluent country tends to be less docile, more confident and comes across as strong to a guy. For the male of the species, who has grown up being used to the role of the 'dominant' gender, this can be very threatening.
I do find more affluent women to be a bit more threatening...
Asian women are incredibly feminine and docile (and I'm not using this in the pejorative sense here). So are African. European women tend to be a bit more subtle and conscious about what they say and how. Though these are wide brush strokes.
Btw, foreign women too love Western men -- they appear as richer and more promising then their own guys.
On the other hand, I've seen forms of sex tourism in third world countries (though you might not call it that) where Western women flock in droves to catch up with African or Asian guys (parts of Africa, Asia, Kenya, Tunisia, the Caribbean, etc). You might ask what Western women find attractive in these guys. In my view, they offer them exactly what their own guys don't ... they like the Western women, and fall for them (even if their affluence is one big magnet). Also these guys are willing to play less dominant roles... even as women have turned more independent themselves.00 Reply

Almost laughable and disgraceful that these men could even say stuff like this. I'd rather be a fat ugly American woman than to actually beleive and be able to type stuff like that about women from your own country.
This qustion makes it seem to me that Amerian men are all hateful, bitter, disrespectful, fat, laughable, idiots.
Sickening to me that I just got called lazy, fat, ignorant, shallow, and practically worthless by grown men from my own country who have never met me.

We're not saying that all women from the U.S are like that (at least am not), we're just saying that when compared to European women, Europeans are more favorable. That doesn't mean there aren't horrible women in Europe, because there are. That doesn't mean there aren't incredible women in the U.S either because I've met PLENTY.

Actually, I'm FROM a different country and am pretty well cultured. Puerto Rico to be exact.
All I'm saying is I just got practically called worth no more than dirt by Amrican men here. If the roles were reversed you would be more than offended as well. Like no other men from other countries bash their own women. Proves how screwed up th men here are as well. Plus who are you to speak for all men by saying "Europeans are more favorable?"

Just because the women there are all little sweet submissive suzy-home makers, does not mean they are better than us. Most of the men are fat here too, so stop pulling that "the women are much more beautiful" crap when we put up with ugly, fat, perverse men all the time. Actually, my closest friend is a male in Australia and he is SO much more respectful of the women from his country. How could you even say stuff like that just because American women have erased practical gender roles?

You should be proud that the women in America can live however they want to and act like men. Meanwhile these "beautiful" European women are all little mindless darlings stuck cooking and cleaning in lingerie all day catering to men. Eff that. I'm a proud American woman. I'd rather be fat and ugly then a dumb mindless bimbo European woman. End of story.

These comments are just not cool. I was just talking on chat to another man from a different country who was reading these answers, and absolutely roasting American men for saying this kind of stuff. Everything he said about American men was true. Apparently men from foregin countries think you are all sad pathetic whiny ignorant disrespectful babies. Which this is proof that you are. So it doesn't even matter now.

1. I never said YOU were a fat, lazy, ignorant, shallow woman. I was saying the probability of such a woman to exist is higher in the U.S (except for the lazy part, I never said such a thing and I actually think that both men and women here work much harder than their European counter-parts, by a long shot). Most of my "generalizations" are legitimately backed up with actual evidence.

See, I made all these dumb generalizations about European women and you found a way to prove me wrong. Same thing I did with you. All I'm saying is...why even compare two whole countries of women? Not every guy will think or agree with you so don't say, "European women are better than American women" when you're only one opinion of 7billion. I'm sure European women would probably win, but for biased reasons. That's all.

I was comparing U.S women to European women because that's what the question was. I had an opinion and I shared it. I thought my input would be useful due to my life experience. I don't walk around constantly thinking "these women (U.S) are worse than girls from Europe" I think "THAT girl sucks" or "THAT girl is great." It's just I noticed the latter happens more often when am in Europe. Anyway, I just wanted to clear up my opinion since you and others took it the wrong way. No hard feelings?
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yWOAH WOAH WOAH!

I lived in Europe for 7 years and travel there yearly and honestly on AVERAGE European women are better. There are also more abounded "good women" in Europe than America. First of all there are much much more beautiful women in Europe. The U.S is the leading country in obessity, that says it all. For every gorgeous girl I see in America in a day, there are 10 more even prettier in Europe. It's insane at how many there are. I know beauty isn't everything, personality matters a lot, actually more. However, beauty has a HUGE impact on a person's personality, especially when it comes to women. Since there are much less pretty girls in the U.S, the ones that are beautiful get a lot of attention, which makes them think much more of themselves. This is what ruins girls in America, the fact that their self value is completely wrong. In Europe, a pretty girl isn't a big deal so she doesn't get as much attention as she would have if she lived in the U.S and basically lowers the chances of her being a self-centered bitch. Am not saying all pretty girls from the U.S are self-centered, but compared to Europe it's a huge difference. Girls from Europe are just much sweeter, open, and accepting than women in the U.S, at least in my experience.

+1 yWe look for people that are reality based that appreciate a man and that is normally in foreign countries. So we get them and treat them well and they appreciate it because they are not spoiled so much as we are here in the US. It makes us very very happy and so we tend to hold on to them dearly which is what makes a marriage successful. Meanwhile American women are hard to deal with and don't appreciate us. We see too much focused on money and prestige and relationships ending in divorce. Some tend to let themselves go after marriage and we don't find them sexually appealing so they resemble a tick just feeding off our life. Or they think they are a princess. They seem to never be wrong and are NEVER the reason a relationship ends. Its always the other persons fault. These tendencies seem to be in every American girl of working against us so its not relative to a happy life. We look at this and feel its insane to do the same thing expecting different results. We can always find our sex elsewhere so we opt for that and someone who likes to be with us. We can work and do so many things but its never enough and I have noticed that no matter what it is NEVER the American women's fault a relationship ends... Its always the mans fault... When there is a lack of a relationship where we feel unloved and unappreciated then we tend to stop feeding your stupidity and look elsewhere. Quality is where we look for. A sound personality, enjoyable to be with and friendship that leads to love. Its just not in US women... Sorry...
00 ReplyAll men, or just American? This is just a generalization, but foreign men might be turned off by the larger average size of American women. American women are usually considered more obnoxious as well. I can't speak for all American men. My girlfriend isn't American, but I wasn't attracted to her because she is foreign. The world is a smaller place than it used to be though. It's easier to meet people from other parts of the world. My feeling is that a lot of American guys are intrigued by something different.

American women are usually more independent than women from most other cultures. You may find that a lot of foreign men will prefer the traditional gender roles when choosing a mate. That isn't really the case in America anymore, at least not with my generation. Personally, I am more attracted to a woman that makes her career a priority, and I think it iss silly that the woman should be considered the cook and cleaner by default. Any decent man would help her with these tasks.
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yThey tend to be easier sexually, easier to manipulate and more naive. Men in different countries have their own social norms so when a foreign woman comes along their easier to navigate than women who are from the same place their from and have a general better understanding of what is acceptable social behavior.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yThere is a lot of unjustified hate towards women in this house. Therefore, it doesn't challenge my intellect as much as my tolerance.
Beyond that misogynistic noise, men seek women who are passive and traditional (barefoot and pregnant; cooks and cleans). American women are pushing beyond that into a more independent lifestyle. This is one of a dozen reasons or so American men prefer foreign women.10 ReplyWhat's the problem? I think American girls are great! And I've lived in Europe lol

Opinion Owner+1 yMaybe after you ask a question like this you should make a note at the bottom saying "only favorable answers that are identical please". Foreign women are all not as shallow. They live their own lives and are not infatuated with reality garbage tv. They work hard and are grateful for what they have in life. They are good mothers and good wives. They have integrity and do not get abusive with their families.

Well, that's an offensive comment.
I think American women are almost opposite of spoiled actually.
Plus, how can a whole sex be ignorant and lazy?
Terrible, childish generalization.
Opinion Owner+1 yAgain I suppose for the sake of offending anyone I should of lied. What I answered is a generalization and the truth. If you don't like it so what. Make changes and set a better example for the next generation. Maybe the next generation will not think Jersey Shore is more important than a good education.
Opinion Owner+1 yMy original answer may not of been in depth but it certainly answered your question. If I have not been around the world and traveled for 20+ years then I would not of answered.
Opinion Owner+1 yAgain I have lived abroad and in the states. That is what makes me say this. American women are obsessed with reality TV. The European women I know actually read books and have culture. Are you somehow not absorbing anything I am typing? I think it best for you to live in Spain or Italy for a year or so then compare the two (American and European women-or Foreign women).
Opinion Owner+1 yAnd to the American women that are so offended the men are not far behind. Most of America is behind in education, they lack culture and they are generally ignorant. Shows like The Kardashians are typical of America regardless of what is said by people. I live it everyday. I fire and hire people on a daily basis and see where their priorities lie. The average American worker is adept at mistakes and making shortcuts. The best generation of Americans are dying or have died 15-20 years ago.

I was asking what reasons you have for saying women are lazy. I, like most women in my social circle, work full time and do the majority of the work around the house, in my case this includes yard work as well. I do not watch much TV maybe an hour or two a week if that. You are saying a lot of things and giving reasons as "because I know" that doesn't explain anything. Where are you hiring and firing people daily? I have a feeling you deal with teenagers and not men and women.
Opinion Owner+1 yI am in the pharmaceutical field and the people that work for the company are 24 to 60 years old. The waste time standing around talking about crap ass reality TV shows. From what you tell me you are not the "norm" of an American woman. How you don't see America being uneducated and shallow is amazing to me. America has been dumbed down and has lost it's edge. Japan owned us (literally) in the 80's and now China owns the rest of us while the majority of Americans just sit back and watch more tv
