Western vs. Thai Women

Here is a link to a very interesting article I found, about Western Women and Thai Women:

Intellectual and Professional Women

This post is a slightly-edited version of a comment I left at GL’s blog in response to a feminist’s claim that…

“Men date women, arguably, who reflect themselves and satisfy their ideals of what a woman should be. That is why it is fairly common for men to date women with the same educational or professional background, for instance. It goes without saying that smart men find smart women attractive or that employed men would also want their partner to be professionally employed as well. Imitation is the best form of flattery so it is not surprising that men seek women who are mirror images of themselves.”**

I find this to be a completely bizarre argument. It is derived from feminst-Marxist-egalitarian doctrine. Men do not date women who “reflect themselves” and are “mirror images” of themselves. Throughout history, great Men such as World Leaders, Scientists, Entrepreneurs, etc. have married traditional, SAHM-type women, and many have attributed their success partly to the support of their wives in their homelife, etc. This has been the norm throughout most of human history, except for the last 50-odd years in the West, which really represents a crazy anomaly in the greater scheme of things.

As for the fact that Men should date women from the same educational & professional background etc… this is something that we have been brainwashed into believing by the feminist-media and popular culture. And in my experience, most thinking Men eventually grow out of this brainwashing.

I’m not here to boast, but I am something of an intellectual. I am a professional, a Masters’ graduate, Mensa member, etc. But the fact of the matter is… a woman’s academic or professional accomplishments are VERY VERY LOW on my own list of requirements for a potential girlfriend or spouse. I am much more interested in her level of physical fitness and attractiveness, and qualities like a pleasant disposition, emotional intelligence/sensitivity, loyalty, character, etc. These are CULTURAL things not taught at any University. For a long-term relationship, I would also look for things like domestic skills, a positive attitude to child-rearing, etc.

Any academic/intellectual stuff is more like a minor, optional bonus. Not an essential requirement by any means. If I want to have an intellectual conversation, I can phone my stockbroker. Or come chat on the blogs.

I have no desire to sleep with some other corporate clone. Such a man-woman contributes nothing new or different into my life. I might as well sleep with another Man. (Not.)

And by the way, isn’t wanting to have sex with someone who is “a mirror image” of yourself is the sign of a narcissist?

Sorry feminists, but we’re just not buying what you’re selling anymore.

Bad Boys, Badder Girls, and An Ugly View Of Life

Women’s attraction to “jerks” and “bad boys” is a well-known occurrence. You know… that phenomenon where all the pretty (and not-so-pretty) women run after the 5% of guys who are unemployed, drug-addicted, possibly-criminal gangsters, or worse. While all the time totally ignoring their more polite, cultured, accomplished, and intelligent counterparts.

Now this issue has been debated ad nauseum, both in the blogosphere and elsewhere. The general consensus that seems to have been reached is that this is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Bad boys are subconsciously perceived by women as being “strong”; and this is some sort of innate genetic thing. Call of The Wild and all of that.

So that’s that then.

Then again, maybe not…

A few years back, I read about a study that was conducted sometime during the 70’s or 80’s. Researchers asked highschoolers from 2 different countries to choose which of their classmates they considered to be the most popular and attractive, and give reasons for their choices.

Now, one of these groups was American, and the other was Chinese (or maybe Japanese, I don’t recall exactly). The results of this survey were interesting…

The American results were as one would have expected from a Western country. The extroverted, aggressive, sporty/cheerleader types won the vote hands down.

The Asian results, however, were the exact opposite. The majority of the Asian students voted their quiet, introverted, sensitive, and intellectual classmates as being the most popular and attractive…

Their responses indicated their appreciation of these types for their reserved dignity & leadership, intelligence, and empathetic advocacy, among other things.

Now I can imagine that this has probably changed somewhat within the last 30+ years with the amount of Westernisation that has taken place in East Asia.

But the broader point here is that this suggests that attractiveness and popularity are more a result of culture and socialisation, than they are genetic. Our ideas of what we think are attractive qualities, physically and personality-wise, are informed by the messages we receive from the culture we live in, including the media.

The post-60’s Western culture has made “good” “bad” and “bad” “cool”. And the overwhelming majority of modern Western[ised] Women are psychological basketcases, wrecked by Feminism and the Cult of Entitlement that have taught them that they can do no wrong, and jaded from a lifetime (however long or short) of promiscuity in a permissive society.

They say that “water always finds its own level”. Given that so many Western Women are a psychological mess, is it any wonder that they are attracted to those Men who as just as messed up as they are?

I Changed The Theme

I noticed my previous theme was not conducive to selecting / copying text from the Comments section.

I think this one is more readable as well.

Apologies for any inconvenience, and thanks for bearing with me while I sorted this thing out.

These Lunatics Do NOT Speak For REAL MEN

I am an anti-feminist. I believe that the feminism-materialism-promiscuity culture which is firmly entrenched in the contemporary West is largely responsible for the unprecedented levels of social chaos and malaise we see in today’s society.

I believe in Natural Law, that is, the system of social norms and structures that one sees in civilised societies, across historical, geographical, and cultural divides.

I believe that there are inherent biological and psychological differences between Men and women [which half-sane thinking person doesn’t?]; and I believe in traditional gender roles within a Patriarchal [and not “egalitarian”] society.

But what I will never support is certain bloggers in the Men’s Movement who think that the fact that they have adopted the self-styled label of “MRA” entitles them to say or do any rubbish, without sanction.

I, and all others who who aspire to be Men of Real Character will never support those who ridiculously advocate PROSTITUTION, SEX TOURISM and the “FUCKING AND CHUCKING” of HUMAN BEINGS, as part of their purported mission of “Promoting Traditional Values, [and] Fighting Against Feminism, Cultural Marxism, and Other Threats to the Traditional Way of Life…” (!!)

People who take a neutral stance to SEX SLAVERY and EXPLOITATION deserve no indulgences. This kind of neutrality is the hallmark of amoral people… the leftists and liberals who have created this modern mess in the first place.

Here are some extracts from a conversation that took place on one of these blogs:
 

(MikeeUSA-) The proper reaction to an assult on a Man’s person by a female is this:
* Realise your life is over weather you do anything further or not, the female and her government servants will crush you in a short while.
* Decide that your life will not be the only life that ends today.
* Kill the woman+.
* and her friend if you have a quick means of killing.
* Kill the police if they have allready arrived++.
* Find the nearest women’s shelter, women’s rights organization office, etc and continue the revenge untill what was going to happen anyway does happen. If you can reach a 1 to 10 kill ratio you have done well.
+ 3 min chokehold will suffice for those who don’t know/have other means (kneck breaking, knifing, etc).
++Often they wear bullet resistant vests, but these usually don’t protect the top of the arms/underarms : if you cut here you will hit a major artery and bleed your adversary out, same can be done with the inner thighs but a croch protector may get in the way. Sometimes police have kneck protectors too. If all else fails try to stab through the vest, this sometimes works if you have a sturdy knife.

[…]

(whale sniffer[Wtf?]-) “we should kill mike to practice for killing the women”

(MikeeUSA-) “Why should “we” kill me? I mean, if you want to you could try. I live under a pile of weapons though.”

[…]

(Greg-) “Luke will carry on sucking [Masculist Man’s] cock wilst [Masculist Man] pat[s] his head and say[s] ‘good bitch’ whilst I point and laugh in the background.
Goodbye and good riddance.”

[…]

(Luke Skywalker-) “No matter. The prophecy must be fulfilled My two heroes MUST meet each other”

Etc, etc, etc…

Now I admit to having a sophomoric sense of humour too. But truth is, this stuff just ain’t funny. This isn’t American-Pie-Part-5. This is real life. And these fascists are evidently mentally deranged, and at least half-serious.

These idiots and morons severely compromise the credibility of those who genuinely stand for Men’s rights and real traditional values… and deserve to be UNIVERSALLY and UNAPOLOGETICALLY MARGINALISED by all people of reason, morality, and heart.

These men are the MASCO-NAZIS and are intellectually, morally, and ideologically bankrupt. Take a look at dysfunctional societies & movements throughout history and throughout the world… and you will find one common denominator… whether they were religious, secular, atheist, socialist, capitalist, or whatever… the common denominator among evil societies and movements is EXTREMISM. And Moderation is the only cure for this.

I recognise the relative youth of some of these people, and the challenges they face. But if you want to call yourself a Man, it’s time to grow up and take responsibility for being one. Lest you become the next Andrea Dworkin. Trust me, history will not look back kindly on you.

Money: A Sign of Greater Virtues?

“Real women love rich men not for their money, but for their qualities that brought that money.”

This post was inspired by an article entitled Rich Man and Russian Brides: Poor-Guy-Good-Girl Test Failed over at Natalie’s blog. The basic premise behind this article is that there exists a strong correlation between a Man’s material wealth, and his possession of greater qualities like intelligence, competence, “virility”, “vitality” and a “great personality”.

I’ll be specifically addressing the (supposed) correlation between Money and these Greater Qualities in this post; and I’ll be discussing some further issues in Part 2.

(The context of this article is, of course, that of Western Men seeking Russian/FSU Wives, but I think the issues can be generalised fairly easily.)

In her article, Natalie tells us that…

“[Material wealth is] Just one more Secondary Sexual Characteristic for a Homo Sapiens. [...] social success is no substitute to other Virile Virtues, – it is nothing but an essential[??] [...] evidence of them… Like lion’s mane and rooster’s spurs used aptly to overcome other males, it indicates vitality [...]”

Not necessarily. Why? Well… let’s start by talking about Serious Wealth.

Serious Wealth has two main sources: Inheritance and Entrepreneurship.

Now… Entrepreneurship almost never starts before age 35, so the majority of budding entrepreneurs would not have accumulated serious wealth before the age of at least 40. Given that the median age of Men seeking FSU Women is 37, by using material wealth as evidence of greater “vitality”, what one has effectively done is…

[a] Eliminated over 50% of Men [all those under 40] who do have the “vitality” to generate serious wealth (or which is supposedly indicated by serious wealth) but have not accumulated it yet.* ; and

[b] Given a free pass to an even larger proportion of Men [almost all the rich ones under 40 and a good proportion of those older…] who have “family money”.. i.e. wealthy primarily due to Inheritance and not significant efforts on their own part… which I’m sure you’ll agree is not (necessarily) an indicator of any greater qualities.

[*Of course I assume here that they do, nevertheless, have ADEQUATE resources to maintain a family.]

Now, lets take a More Middle Class Example…

Here, the issue of REAL WEALTH vs. PERCEIVED WEALTH comes strongly into play…

This best illustrated using an example (and I’ll use American currency throughout for simplicity…) Take two Western Guys, John and Steve. John earns $ 30 000 a year, and Steve earns double that, $ 60 000 a year…

John buys himself a $ 50 000 car [on some residual plan that takes a huge chunk out of his salary every month, plus will bite him in the ass later on.]

Bling, Bling.

Steve, being more responsible, buys a much more modest $ 35 000 car. Steve’s excess income goes into savings, investments, property, whatever. John meanwhile gets further into debt buying more Bling… designer clothes, etc.

Now John and Steve goes to Russia to woo the some lovely Natasha, Svetlana, Olga, or whoever. (John with his not-yet-paid-for designer clothes, and pictures of his $50k car in tow… ) Now the punch-line…

Steve is actually both WEALTHIER and (more importantly) more MATURE, SENSIBLE and RESPONSIBLE than John, but is unlikely to be perceived as such.

I should add that, in the West including the U.S. this behaviour [John's] is more the norm than the exception… & thus apparent material wealth becomes a very poor indicator of actual wealth [in this earnings bracket], let alone greater qualities.

(And yes, this story is a tad silly, but I think it does effectively illustrate the point.)

This situation may also be exacerbated by the backgrounds of the individuals concerned… suppose these guys are both professionals in their late 20’s or early 30’s; and John comes from a much wealthier family than Steve…

Even if Steve is smarter, more hardworking, earning more – he will have issues like paying off student loans, taking care of parents, etc… while John’s education, first car, first apartment even may have been wholly or partly financed by Daddy.

I’ll be writing more on this in a while, so please do stay tuned

Your comments & suggestions, and (constructive) criticism are most welcome.
