Young men are not windy in the head. That is very wrong to say. One object ive left out your entire opinion was money. Many young men would like to get married but are not in as financially secure state as aged men. Many American men travel to Russian to find a bride because they CAN. Younger men CANNOT. That is one reason for "statistic" lies. You young women must have windy heads to stereotype young men that way and believe older man to be better (more mature). That must also be a statistic.

Writing my posting i was referring to russian young men, i do not claim that all young men are the same, and i'm sorry if i offended you.
Of course young girls have windy heads as well. I never said i didn't. But anyway i prefer older men. Maybe you can make me change my mind? Smile
As for money, i believe that by my 30's i will have my own stable and good business and i work on that, so i don't really care about it Wink

I do not know what your experiences have been with American men and it is none of my business, but if you want me (and other men - American, etc) to understand your culture, then tact is something you might want to seek out and use...

I've never had an american, or a foreign bf, if you mean that... I know many foreigners but just as friends...
Ok, i see my straightfowardness is to abrupt for you all. then i better shut up Sad

Alice,
I don't think you have read all of Mr.Wu's journals, but only what he posted on this message board. You are right, it is his business, and the girls business if he goes to Russia looking for sex. But in his writings he talks about family values, morals, respect, love, etc. My question is this, what kind of values, morals, respect, and so on does a person like this have not only toward American women, but toward the Russian women he solicits.
[quote][i](i don't care about the fact that he travels to Russia to collect sex adventures, because its his and those girls private business... those girls have their own heads and if they let take advantage of them, then its their problems... .)
I care very much for Russia, the family, and friends I have there. After reading most all of his journal from his website I would never refer anyone to his site. I have also been in contact with Mr.Wu by email to learn more about him. He has a very sad life in Washington, and says he has no social life, no friends etc. The women don't like him in the community where he lives. After reading his journal, I don't wonder why. Because of his lack of life here in the States, he has seen fit to criticize, and find fault with not only American women, but also with America, because nobody here likes him. Until you read all his journal you could not understand why most people have been offended by him, or at the least pay so little attention to him.

Hello, "Alice"... No, you don't need to "...shut up..." Your input is just as important as the next person... If you "shut up", then your opinions will not be heard and understanding will not progress... Communication is what it's all about - if we don't communicate with one another we will not come to any kind of understanding of each other's cultures, which go beyond the standard things we all want: love and friendship, closeness and understanding...

Just practice being more tactful and constructively critical and you will get your points across... (That's not to say everyone will like your opinions, but that's not your problem - that's the "listener" (or reader's) problem)...

Take care... Wink
