I hear a lot of my friends & other men complain that white women (particularly from USA, Canada, UK and the protestant countries) are only good for flings or sex, while the ones who come from Catholic European countries (Italy, Spain etc.) or Eastern cultures (Orientals, South Asians, West Asians etc.) have deeply instilled morals and values that many men really look for in a long-term relationship.

Why is this so? Is it that men cannot tolerate feminism in reality, or is it that men will always prefer an old-fashioned, submissive and emotional type of woman - when compared to a western-style woman who makes her own rules and demands respect from the man?

I am a guy myself, but I am just curious as to why men in general feel this way.

Better for what? Wives, slaves, servants, booty call? Women from non-feminist cultures don't know any better. They have to be under the thumb of the all-powerful man and are dependent on him for everything so they learn to be submissive and are forced to swallow a lot of crap to keep it together. I'm sure realistically given the choice, most women would rather have some independence and make decisions by choice rather than fear for their's or their children's well being. Notice that the cultures where women are true equals have better standards of living, developed nations, etc. The lower women are on the totem pole in a country, the worse the place is in general. So if you're looking for a woman who bends to your every whim without question, then yes, foreign chics are best. If you're looking for a partnership where you don't have to bear the entire burden of making a living, someone to share in decisions and respect for a woman who earns a respectable living and can think and act for herself, then go for a feminist. It's actually less burden on you in the long run. Men have more respect for and treat independent women much better.

Depends on the kind of woman you want to be around-whether you want to be around "traditional" women or "feminists". I've been with men who said they wanted to be with an equal partner, but they found it hard to make less money than their partner. I've been with women who also resented making a lot less money than their partner. Now I'm with a man who wants to be with someone intelligent funny and creative, they're not into the one-up-manship that many capitalistic people are into...If you want someone traditionally-minded, there still are plenty of women who are very traditional who live in "feminist" cultures...and there actually are a few feminists in "traditional" societies as well...not all men and women are alike, regardless of their culture...

"Notice that the cultures where women are true equals have better standards of living, developed nations, etc. The lower women are on the totem pole in a country, the worse the place is in general."

Is this a result of female equality or is female equality a result of development? I believe the latter is true; female equality can come only after a society is industrialized and has escaped the cycle of agriculture.

I cannot comment on whether women from non-feminist cultures are "better" than those from feminist cultures; it would depend on the woman and the man's preferences in particular.

Women from other countries are not wimpy or easily put down. what they do understand is that they are women who have a man that they should keep happy. Most American feminists think making a man happy is a crime. Ironically, American women are WEAKER than these other women, because they love to blame men for their problems and rely more on the men around them than do these independent women from other cultures. I noticed this recently, that the women most vocal about feminism are the most lazy ones in our society. I can go through the list of women I know and each one who talks up a storm about feminism and women's rights is deep down too lazy to make a life for herself and is seeking a rich older guy to mooch from. The whole thing is a JOKE. I am for strong women (not weak wimpy women who hate men), so I am looking at foreigners ONLY.

Those men are intimidated by women who is an equal, and not a doormat. It speaks more of their low self-esteem, and need for a false sense of validation, than anything else. And it's funny to me that they value "morals" in their potential lives, but don't see the hypocrisy in using other women "just for sex", or "flings". What a bunch of hypocrites. Who are these guys you hang out with, anyway?
Obviously this doesn't pertain to all men who marry women from these cultures. Just to man who marry women from these cultures for no other reason than the idea that they are "subservient."

Once I became a traditional homemaker (quit my high paying career) my husband asked for a divorce. So, you tell me.
My guess is that American men want a woman who works outside the home AND takes care of his every personal task while managing to look beautiful and composed at all times.

I think it's a little of both. I think that American women are much more likely to be taught (by society and the media) things that make them think they're better than men. Women in other cultures know they're women. They don't try to deny they're women like women from feminist cultures do. Your question reminds me that women from non-feminist cultures probably don't have as many opportunities as men do in those cultures. But, why does freedom and opportunity make so many women want to treat good men poorly?

depends on the man, and his confidence in his masculinity.

personally, i don't care. if a man only wants 'white women' for sex, then i hope he moves to some foreign country. a man like that is WHY women are so jaded, he makes all men look bad by using women and tossing them aside like trash.

YES !!! Women from feminists culture have the notion that if their man is happy, she is doing something wrong, while women from non feminist cultures have an quite opposite view of things.
Most men will prefer women who are women, however there are also some men who like mannish women.

The so-called men who fear strong women are cranks. They have deeply-rooted psychological problems - this is not the fault of feminists. These defective men - are ILL.

Instead, why not ask "Are men from non-feminist cultures better than men from feminist cultures?

Let me show you what the intellectual cream of the crop in the 'man movement' is discussing these days: INCONTINENCE, and why this medical condition is funny in elderly women - but NOT in elderly men:

'Why do women conform to the patriarchal standard of wearing adult diapers for incontinence?'

'Why is the patriarchy recently telling us incontinence is not normal, but funny? Bullying women?'

WITH INTELLECTUAL GIANTS LIKE THAT ON YOUR SIDE...YOU GUYS ARE DOOMED!
