... in response to I want to make my position clear, posted by Tania on Feb 8, 2002I understand what you are saying. However, I do not agree totally with your leading statement.
"It is very hard to scam person who is absolutely honest."
But with the rest of your post I can appreciate what you might be trying to say here. I will explain later what I mean by this.
Now, I am very much aware of how men will use all of their assets to attract a woman. This is because women have taught men that more than just who he is as a person is what they (women) look at in choosing a man. If this were not the case men would not waste their time showing a woman these other things.
So, to win a woman's heart, a man will offer his appearance, intelligence, humor, strength, passion, and yes his wealth and accomplishments as a total package to attract his woman. Of course, he offers his heart which is the most important. But women tell men by their actions that it is the total package that they are interested in - not just his heart.
I think that it is wrong for a man to say "Although my house is small but to you it will be like a luxury." This is insulting. Never assume such things - let the woman come to her own conclusions.
I am aware that American men use the good economics of our country to improve their odds of attracting a woman from Ukraine. This is understandable because foreign women tell men that it attracts them. However, not all men will try to use these advantages.
For example, with the one lady that I was involved with for a period I actually led her to believe that my financial status was much less than it really is. I showed her a picture of my rental house instead of the much nicer home that I live in for example. I wanted her to look more at who I was versus what I had. I felt that this was wiser. I figured that she would not be upset to find that my financial world was better than I had painted it.
But, back to your statement
"It is very hard to scam person who is absolutely honest."
An honest man tends to expect others to be honest. A dishonest man expects people to be dishonest. So, if an honest man meets up with a dishonest lady who is good at hiding her true intentions - he is more likely to trust her than the man who is dishonest and thus the honest man is more likely to be scammed. Would you not agree with this?
You never answered my questions before.
Why did you decide to come to post at this forum?
Are you involved with a foreign man at this time?
Are you interested in the possibility of seeking a foreign man and if so why?
