Don't let that "flame" deter you from posting any future insites/opinions here.  Otherwise, this board could potentially slip into the same posting rut being experienced by the Asian/East European boards.  

I suspect most people got the general idea of what you were getting at in your original post.

It's easy to argue that the American woman has the luxury of more life enhancing benefits than other female on the planet.  In fact, any other species on the planet.  Health care, jobs, education, housing, retirement, food and water safety, maternity leave, custody rights, alimony and/or child support, various protections under the law, etc.

An American male spouse is not one of those benefits, though.

Best appreciated elsewhere.

"Don't let that "flame" deter you from posting any future insites/opinions here."

Doombug, I don't have any problem with Troy. He obviously was very passionate about the subject for one reason or another. I just wish that he would have come with a counterpoint instead of taking it back to the first grade with the name calling and "mine is bigger than yours" responses (lol). Stuff like that dies down after a while if you don't get sucked into it (I am guilty of being sucked into flames before). I never said I was right, it's just an opinion. I believe it, and I would have enjoyed arguing my point since he disagreed, but I wasn't going to get into who is (or was) the biggest "player" with him. What did that have to do with anything?

I do not know Troy's gender, but even if it were female,
I did not see a reason to get so defensive.  
There were A LOT of truths in what Soltero wrote, and I think it
was a very well written and informative post into the insights
of his theory.

There are significant impacts modern society has on the historical
structure of corting and living as mates.  There are certain
fundamental similarities between all women of the world, while
at the same time obviouse differences in methods and expectations.

While I accept Troy having a different point of view, from my years
of experience traveling all over the world I must say I subscribe
to Soltero's observations.

Outstanding post.  Where have you gotten your information.
Right on!

LOL...just from being on the giving and receiving end of both the good and the bad in relating to others. Also, being able to listen to what people say and watch what they do without trying to judge or add on. As I said in my reply to Kented, I wish it wasn't like that, but that's what I have seen and experienced...

Although this runs counter to my instincts, you may be completely correct.  I plan to gently suggest to my wife that she do some things my way when we run into idiocincricies of the US culture.  

Obviously in Costa Rica there was lots I didn't ubnderstand about how things worked in the country and I had to do things her waty.

It runs counter to the way I want to be as well, but this has been based on my experiences and what I have heard from others, you included. If you remember, after your first marriage, when you were still kinda pissed, this is the way you were when you met your wife, and the way that Pete is acting now. I think you have already passed your test, Kented...You are in there. Good luck and best wishes when she gets here for your continued success.
