Just visited the quiz, and it seems awful. The first question about gay men; just three answers; they’re the devil,. don’t ask don’t tell, and they’re enlightened. My response – nothing wrong in being gay, so live and let live – isn’t there. EDIT: I’m not a real man either. Guess because I never got arrested from drunk driving. ---

> [@constanze](#): > > If this is not a whoosh, these ranters are seriously deluded - Russian/Eastern European and Asian women are looking (stereotypically, that is, to a large extent) for Western and American husbands precisly because they are much richer than the native men. After reading a lot of profiles on a few Russian/Ukrainian bride sites (mostly out of curiosity, as the fees involved are too rich for me), the most frequent _stated_ reason these women were looking for a Western husband was that Russian/Ukrainian men are unemployed and drunk on vodka most of the time. One of the most curious profiles I saw was the young Ukrainian lady who insisted adamantly and repeatedly that she was looking for a man who was taller than her. Based on the importance she placed on this, I assumed she must be unusually tall and thus finding a taller man in her locality was difficult. I checked her stats and she was … 5-foot-2. 😕 ---

This is his disclaimer “This website is a reaction to the awful treatment I have received from American women for the last 24 years.” So he’s only 24? Laughs. ---

> [@elmwood](#): > > I’ve seen a lot of rants like that online; American women are selfish and manipulative, and want men only for their money, while women in Russia/Asia/Eastern Europe/anywhere else really don’t care about such superficial things. I think it’s a case of grass-is-greener syndrome. > > I’m not that lucky in love, but I found that women ALWAYS seem friendlier and more approachable whenever I’m visiting a different city. I attribute it to something on my part; I may be more relaxed, and not so worried about failure since, after all, I don’t live there. I don’t have to worry about making a fool out of myself or what others may think. I assume a similar thing might be going on with these men; not much success in dating in the US, but when they go teach English in Korea or visit some other country on business, there’s a subtle change. Instead of attributing it to themselves, they assume it’s the women that are different. I had to go all the way to Cleveland to find a woman to love me. 🙂 ---

This site deserves no attention. The forums make it clear that the site admin is not opposed to American women, but women in general who are not servile or subservient to men, as well as hostile to Jews, atheists, and gay people. He’s a sexist and bigoted crank. I’ve talked to men who insisted all American women sucked. It was generally out of a deep-seated sexist side that they did not care to admit. “American women suck” really means “I want a woman who will defer to me and do what I say, and is far more attractive than I am.” ---

It’s the point brought up by eastern european women in conversations about “men from different places” (translate: men from different parts of Spain plus any other place the women present have lived in or had lovers from). “There’s drunks in Spain, but it isn’t all of them.” Makes one want to go find a nice Russian hunk, it does… not. ---

To be fair, he hasn’t limited himself to just hating women. He spreads his crazy around with a nice big shovel. > [@](#): > > I have zero tolerance for sodomites so if you have engaged in that activity do not become a member here. Sodomy is a sadistic ritual regardless of your race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. It really should be a no brainer that sodomy is an unhealthy and sadistic sexual practice. There seems to be a big push in churches to welcome sodomites with open arms. I do not tolerate sadistic rituals of which sodomy is a primary one. You can go to 99% of the other forums or churches where that behavior is tolerated. Become friends with a Catholic priest and you might have a 50% chance that he will ask you to engage in sodomy with him and especially if you are young. (I may never get the image of a priest walking up to someone and saying “Hello, would you like to engage in sodomy with me?” out of my brain. > [@](#): > > An anti-feminist is anti-zionist. > > An anti-feminist is anti-sodomy. > _…snip…_ > An anti-feminist never believes homosexuals are enlightened.

This guy is obviously whacked in the melon. Sure I’ve noticed one or more of those qualities the dolt describes in women. But damn, if after 24 years you can’t smell that shit from a mile away; you deserve what you get. However, I do digress. Point one does seem to be a problem ubiquitous with women. It does seem that a lot (not all or even most) of women have a proclivity for thinking they need a man to make them happy or to “complete” them. Which is something I find irritating. If you can’t make yourself happy how do you expect anyone else to? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-women-suck-writing-off-half-of-300-million-people/468380.md?page=2)
