I think the guys are too busy buying Viagra, Playboys, pick-up trucks and GQ, too.

It's called marketing.

It's called making a buck in our capitalist society. Create a "need", fill it with a product that will take care of this "need" or "deficiency", and watch it fly off the shelves, the showroom floors, and the pharmacy drug store counters.

I'm NOT saying WOMEN (as a group) are tired of all this. What I AM saying is that those women who see through all this crap of marketing based on false needs and false deficiencies choose to call it what it is and wrote those posts in that above thread because they DO have the right to express ther view above the disquieting din of the skewed mass-marketing media hype. Men posted on there as well.

It takes all kinds to make up this social frabric we have, and each determines their wants and each determines their needs. Some folks can't tell the difference between the two, and successful marketing makes a company alot of dough by making sure folks don't stop to think about the differences.

Folks buy stuff because they can. Because it makes them feel good and "complete". Because it flatters their egos, give them "status" - and on and on it goes.

Capitalism is the great American way. Don't think - just buy, buy, buy. That'll fix whatever ails you, right?

I get confused and headache to, lol, its really complicated. Im just a simple guy, if my gf make me happy and laugh every day, Im a lucky guy. I like personality, that she"s different to the others, in my eyes, of course. To most of us, its easy to find a girl, but I will never live with a girl I cant trust, ( did it, learned the lesson, lol ) know things can change, no matter what I believe. Good values in my eyes, trustworthy, can give her my ATM card etc., and of course I like what I see, turn me on, think thats enough to me. Need to gree deep conversation about the big question in life can be difficult, but at least she is curious and want to know, sometimes more than I have knowledge to explain. Filippina like do something at them self generally, I enjoy that and make the girls attractive, same time, I never been so spoiled of a female, no where in the world, like of a filippina and I enjoy it, big time.

 

Its not just "beauty" that counts. She's gotta be dumb too. Beautiful so guys drool over her and dumb so she likes them back.

 

That's a sweet thing to write. Glad you appreciate one another.

Maybe I need "some of that stuff" in a man, too....

What country do I move to to find one?

Or, what universe?

hahaha

hahaha

You know, good and bad people in all countrys. By the way, Im from Danmark, sometimes a bad boy, think most girls like that ha ha

 

The shoe fits!! Other than that, "No comment" !!

 

The State Dept. is wrong on a few things. First off forgetting *the grass is greener on the other side* mentality. People like the idea of something new or different and it is attractive to them. A foreigner may be a 5 in the states because there are a million more just like him around the corner, nothing special or different. But over here we are different, facial features are different, skin color is different, height is different..... all that stuff plays for us over here while not back home where its normal. Same reason many western men have a thing for Asian women, they look exotic, different, and intriguing to us but to a local Asian man its just normal.... nothing special in her looks really.

For Filipina's for example they like lighter skin which we have while they are darker. They like longer noses while many of theirs is small and/or flat. The like height which for them average is around 5'-5'4" or so which we have. The idea of a foreigner especially a white foreigner is appealing especially when having kids as the kids can hopefully have those features they desire.

Still, it doesn't turn a 5 into a 10 but may turn a 5 into a 7 or an 8 into a 10.
