Title: I find it sad....
Post by: Ambi on February 16, 2001, 05:00:00 AM
that an intelligent beautiful yet modest person like me can't get a man.  What is it with me? I'm not a dragon b****, I'm not inflicted with PMS every day(only 23 times a month)I'm getting too old too go back into the dating scene.  I'm thinking of different ways to meet nice decent men, any suggestions? I don't like niteclubs, I don't like personal ads and I don't like chatting on the net.  For you guys it's easy, all you have to do is go overseas and find a wife.

... our relationship, there are a couple questions I'd like to ask you.
First, if I told you I would think it best if we abstain from sexual intercourse until we became married, would you have a problem with this?
Second, explain to me in moderate detail what an ideal week would be for YOU, given the situation that you and I are married.

Hmmm, I love a man with confidence!!!A week in my presence will force you to have cold showers every 6 mins.  Why? because I believe in abstaining from sex for life and I'm so incredibly sexy , will drive you crazy!

Suggestions ...

1.) Offer to cook a somewhat Gourmand meal for any guy who will go grocery shopping with you and pay for the ingredients  that is bound to weed out 75% of the undisirables  ha ha ha.

2.) All the usual Dear Abbey / Ann Landers outdated suggestions like attend churches, synagogues, temples, book burning rallies etc.  or  get involved with Charities, Start your own Charity for that matter (Ie the human fund --thank you george costanza from sienfeld)  who ever contibutes to it at least shows you that they have some charector.

3.)Offer to buy a pint / case / keg of beer to any guy at the pub who can recite the 10 commandments backwards, or who can tell you 5 dirty limericks without swearing. or can will read 3 stanza's of the corneyist romantic poetry you hand him in front of his mates.  then you might have a keeper.


Seriously though I know it against one of your cardinal rules chatting on the net. but I am interested in finding out more about Australian life from your perspective.  If you are up for it e-mail me at   Oh a Wise Guy Eh@aol.com or TheobromaC@aol.com

Did I mention I also want a guy that's NOT superficial?  Although I am attractive (many drunks tell me so)I don't like the idea that people judge me for my looks.

But, IMO, many Western women set themselves up for this disappointment.  Many times I've seen a personal ad that reads like:  "SWF seeks sincere, caring, honest, romantic, athletic, upwardly mobile, never-married SWM; 6'0" - 6'2", 190 - 205 lbs., 28 - 33 years old, Masters degree or higher; should be at ease in jeans or three piece suit, down-to-earth but knows how to enjoy the finer things in life, and appreciates a strong woman as his equal but knows when to pamper her as a lady."

When this woman is asked why she limits her search so as to eliminate 99.7% of the available male population, the response sounds something like "Because I refuse to lower my standards!" (Asiangirl comes to mind).  Later in life, say the mid-to-late thirties, the "standards" come down.  But by then she has aquired enough baggage, both mental and physical, to ensure that her odds of finding a "decent" guy are similar to her chances of dying from a bee sting.

We just want to be able to provide our future children with a very decent life, such as send them to a religious school that isn't in the inner city, and have the right connections to the right families.  Don't forget that this has been going on for generations.  There are just more people who have money now.

If I had to take out a personal ad, it would be something like this
" Beautiful women seeks emotionally unstable man with no prospect.  Likes watching sport all day and drinks beer.  Must have an iq of 75+ and must want an uncommitted relationship".  Who knows, reverse psychology may work. You never get what you want so why not ask for something you don't want.  There's a scientific term for that, its called the OPPOSITE continumum affect. *can anyone tell I'm BSing*??

And you'll never meet these ladies anywhere. Their either "walking on the beach", "at the gym" or "snuggled in front of the fireplace"(things they love to do). The last line usually reads " outer looks count, but not as important as inner beauty, don't bother to respond without a photo"
    The "intro" letter(e-mail, photo not included) I used to send, to AW's, I received two replies out of maybe 100 sent. When I sent the same letter to filipinas, it was about 70 responses out of some 100 sent, all this over a two year period and some 3-400 letters sent world wide.
       Success, for me, didn't come with the increase in replies, it came from the one reply I was hoping for and knew would come. I was casually writing to 6-7 ladies when "she" wrote in response to my letter..."love at first write", now 100 days into the "Nebraska crawl"

That ain't surprising, lets say if I were to write to 10 men in australia, (no naked pic of me included of course)I'll get only 1 or 2 responses, but if I write to a poor country overseas I'll garantee you that I will get 10/10 responses.  At the end of the day, it's not the quantity of the response, it's the person and their motivations for reponding.

have you ever thought of going oversea's to find a husband? This route is not for men only, and it definatly is not easy either. It takes alot of hard work and committment.

No, never thought about it.  plus don't know the way to do it either.  There are many problems I can forsee.

1.  Communication
2.  Culture
3.  and my paranoia

I'm 100% asian, but was born in australia, I don't speak any asian language therefor communication is a big problem.  The quality of the relationship will be lessen if I can't speak to my future hubby.  Besides so many problems involved I think I'll rather remain single for another 2 centuries, perhaps then I may get lucky.

I've been at this for 2 years, have written to about 35 women, and even went to the Philippines. Nothing has worked out for me.  I would not call it easy for men.

I think its more easy for men because they look for different things then women.  Men just want someone who is good looking, whereas women want someone who is intelligent, emotionally well adjusted,committed AND good looking.  Thus its harder for women to find all of those things.  For me personally, I can get over the goodlooking part only if I know what they're like inside.  If they have a GREAT personality then looks don't matter to me. But on the other hand if they're great looking and have the personality of a peacock, no thanks.

Ambi,

Thanks for lumping me into your assessment of all men and telling me what I really want.  It's all clear to me
now...How could I have been so blind to my shallowness.

I believe the looks are highly over rated.  Actually, what you described is what I am looking for with the addition
of honesty.

Who's knows, one day you'll be as englightened as I am (hehehe)Although I do hope that there is at least ONE men out there that can overlook superficiality but the reality is, to my feeble mind, most and i said most, not all wants a good looking woman.

Hi Jon,

I just wanted to say to you to be encouraged.  The Philippines reminds me of the story of scientists who showed a young boy two rooms.  One was filled with all kinds of toys imaginable.  The other room was filled with manure.  The boy was asked to choose a room.  Immediately the boy ran to the room filled with manure and he was overjoyed.  Afterwards the researcher asked the boy why he choose the room filled with manure instead of the one filled with toys.  The boy said I figured with all that manure there must be a pony in there.  Well, I am still looking for that pony!  Take care.

You can meet decent men!
Participate in activites where you are likely to meet men - and yes, avoid the bars!

A few words about "us" looking for Asian wifes: It's not, like every single guy here flies to the Philippines, finds a wife and lives happily thereafter! This website has had well over 3 million visitors during the past 3 years - I have been following it pretty much from the start and would say, there were about 10, maybe 20 "success stories" reported here. If you read the archives, you will find the same names over and over, the "regulars" as we call them ;-) I am certain there are several more "unreported" success stories but I also personally know a number of Filipina-American couples whose marriage is not happy...

Is it easy? No! Can it be done? Yes! Good luck to you!

Ambi,

What do you find wrong with interracial marriage? Many people are not 100% pure, like you. What race would you have them marry? I can tell you from personal experience, that everyone looks very much the same on the inside, with the exception of the differences between male and female. All of the organs are in the same places and the blood is red. Many things that we perceive as racial, are actually cultural or regional differences. There is no more than a 0.03% difference in the DNA of all human beings. The differences in DNA between Europeans and Asians is less than 0.02%. In other words...we are all related.

Hi Dave,

That's a good point about races - when people make reference to race, most people are actually referring to nationality.  There are only three human races:  Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid (and in some systems, Australoid).  These races are not pure in any meaningful sense, given that humans have been migrating and intermingling for hundreds of centuries.
