What can American women learn from foreign women?

I can't think of anything else than 'be able to earn like their US counterparts'.
Though perhaps some men like assertiveness in women?

-Foreign woman

Eek, no! There is no parity in pay in the corporate sector for American women and American men. American women do not get 6 month paid maternity leave and work place flexibility. They are not actively promoted. FAIL!

Also, American women face agism and lookism in the corporate world. It is pretty disgusting!

Depends where the foreign woman is from.

Japan: learn to stop hiding your mouth when you laugh
France: learn that just because a man finds you desirable doesn’t mean he respects or even likes you
Russia: learn that sometimes smiling gets you better treatment than looking stern

Totes, those Russians known for their friendly, smiley demeanors

I’m smiling at your lack of reading comprehension.

American women make much higher salaries in corporate America than for a comparable white collar job in a Western European country. You might receive six months or one year paid leave but both you and your spouse’s income combined in Europe = one salary here.

American women get away with so much compared to French, Swiss, Spanish and Italian women

There are shopgirls in Verona or Lyon that present themselves more professionally than biglaw associates in DC!

Too late for what?

Also, "these days?" What year, in your estimation, did younger American women start to behave this way?

I am guessing it's whenever PP found himself rejected by an American woman. Before then, things were great.

Preach that.

You must be thinking of Asian women. European women tan and drink a lot.

Incorrect. We don't really drink and there is major social shaming for women who abuse alcohol or get drunk. As a woman in Europe, you don't get drunk or fat. Both are unacceptable.
To be fair, I haven't seen a lot of Hispanic or Black women here getting drunk either. It's usually the white women who abuse alcohol - see below for research. And I don't think it's happy drunk either, it's just a coping mechanism.

LOL you clearly spent no time near pubs in working class neighborhoods in Britain on a Friday night. Or at cheap Costa Brava resorts.

1. British aren’t really European

When people say europe, mostly they are referring to the mainland

2. People for sure aren’t thinking about British people in the 20 pages of this thread

3. British and American convergence on many metrics is larger than British-mainland convergence

Look at obesity rates and life expectancy. On these metrics British and Americans are closer than either is to say France

If British people “aren’t really European” then what continent do they “really” belong to? This is such a ridiculous argument.

My DH is British, and I just told him that apparently, someone thinks that British people aren't really European, and he gave me the a look, like "WTF"? lol

American women definitely should not learn about geography or who drinks the most from European women.

There used to be a saying in Britain that (approximately) "the Orient begins at the Channel" and Austrians have a saying that "Asia begins at the Landstrasse".

Ding ding ding

This is an educated pp that clearly has read a lot and or traveled

It’s similar to this bit by philosopher Slavoj zizek on “what is Balkan?”

https://youtu.be/3rpEQmtkstM?si=GPavWRJeADTrGx4i

Nobody cares about you guys rambling on about philosophers and geography BS. Let's list the countries with women that blow US women out of the water. I'll go first.

Colombia- If looks could kill, they'd be dynamite. When they're talking to you, it's as if they're singing a sweet song. They also know a thing or two about adversity and personal responsibility.

1. Are you a guy?

2. Have you spent time in Colombia?

I was there for half a year all over - bogota, medillin, Cali, Cartagena

The median Colombian woman is 5’2 max frump that’s also very materialistic

So you get eastern euro / Chinese levels of “bag chasing” without the legs and eyes of eastern euro women

🤮

+💯
Guys hanging out in Colombia with those nasty frumps can't wait to get back to the US and hang out with all of those svelte babes.

Too late as in they reach a certain age when most of the good men are snatched up and they’re no longer in their prime dating years for finding a first time husband to settle down and have kids with.

“These days”…. it was steadily becoming worse in the 90’s and 2000’s but I would say a big acceleration was when Tinder/OLD became mainstream, so 2010 to 2015 as the swipe apps matured. Combing the OLD apps with the rise of IG and other socials it all of a sudden gave women a huge new avenue for having one night stands with men several leagues above them in looks. When you’re a 5 and can land an 8+/10 for a hookup and it’s as easy as ordering a pizza you start to have delusions about your own level of attractiveness. A few nights of banging 7’s 8’s and 9’s, and now the prospect of forming a relationship with a 5 or 6 seems uninspiring. The problem is those few attractive men who are drowning in matches are happy to sleep with you, but nothing more.

The delusion happens on both sides. And even if these men were ok for marriage, they now have so many choices, they are no longer good candidates. Too risky.

You are saying this doesn't happen overseas though?

When I was on apps in dc, I ended up getting matched with a lot of Jewish women for some reason (I’m not Jewish but I’m a visible minority)

I also went out a few times with two different Israeli women and Israeli women are totally different to Jewish American women

Gargantuan gap

I bet the Israeli women were banging.

Could be Mossad honey pot trap though though

Maybe?

Yes there is something so electric and raw about Israeli women that American Jewish women totally seem to lack but maybe Israeli women are more open?

If I was a Jewish guy in my twenties I 100% would rather be in Israel based on my experiences with Israeli women

There are many liberal white women who openly hate white men for some reason, and I mean in the literal sense. I’ve lost count the number of them who straight up demonize white men using very specific language. I don’t know why they do it, virtue signaling maybe? I’m not blind to historical facts, but it really turns me off when I’m dating someone who makes a comment like that. I’ve dated women who say stuff like “90% of white men are terrible” (but I’m one of the “good ones” ) 😒. And it always seems to be white women who do this.

Ironically whenever I date a minority especially a foreigner, I don’t get any of this race obsessed self hating woke crap.

I immediately reject anyone who is into politics, especially woke women. They will always resent you and view you as being immoral if you have a different opinion.
I've had to limit contact and establish boundaries with political weirdos in my extended family and at work. Being in a relationship with someone like that would be hell. Engaging them doesn't really work too well because it turns into a pissing contest and they tend to be manipulative and try to gaslight. It's also a sign that the person is angry and obviously not content. It can be exhausting. You avoid this situation almost entirely by dating foreign women.

It's sad is illegal to marry a Palestine if you're Israeli

They don't let love be
