		<description><![CDATA[Great post.  Great point.

@GoodLuckChuck

You are right and wrong.  The shitty upbringing can create a woman who fit into more naturally alpha driven relationship with a man.  Wouldn&#039;t it be great if we could carry our 19 year old alpha traits through our marriage without having to bring any beta at all to the table?  Well that&#039;s probably not possible, but it is in degrees, and some of these women are more accepting of it because it&#039;s the physical, male dominant &quot;protection&quot; aspect that they value more than anything due to lacking this in their childhood.  They also have a much higher need for unconditional love (which they didn&#039;t get), which presents many opportunities for solidifying their devotion to you.

From experience.

That said, yeah there are still many pitfalls with a woman like that.

But further.. know this.. Those foreign brides are no cake walk either in the long term.  Kinda the same deal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Women everywhere are all the same at their core. It&#039;s the ones with the shitty upbringing and a shitty society backing them up who are truly dangerous. Our society ruins them from birth and continues to support their poor behavior throughout their lives.

There is a reason why there are an increasing number of American men who seek out foreign brides and very, very few American women who seek out foreign husbands.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t have any experience whatsoever with American women. The women I&#039;ve dated come from places where feminity is expected of them. And, well, guess what? They can be as manipulative and as convinced of their prerogatives as any woman out there. What&#039;s scary about really feminine women is that they can control you far, faaaaaaar more easily than masculine, domineering women. You don&#039;t see it coming, and we as men are EASILY duped by sweet feminity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The context you are using here is on a micro level but it can also be applied at a macro level. 

The problems we are facing today run deep. We focus on individual women when it is society in general that is producing hordes of dysfunctional, masculine females. 

American bitches are busted fellas. You accept what is in front of you because:

a) It is &quot;normal&quot;

and 

b) For various reasons you don&#039;t believe that you have any other options

You don&#039;t have to accept it just because it is convenient. Just ask Roosh.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BLAM! You&#039;ve really surprised me with this post. Not that it goes against anything you&#039;ve written so far, but it just resonates so fucking deeply with me. I&#039;ve settled and then rationalized myself into thinking that whatever situation I settled into was what I wanted. And then it becomes really, really painful to extricate yourself from all of it; but it is also quite painful to stay in it, because you basically need to rerationalize everything all the time. Otherwise your unconscious desires and needs will gain a firm hold of your throat and start asking you some really difficult questions.]]></description>
