One Secret to Dating Success: NOT Dating American Girls
Posted by Mr. Practical on April 6, 2008
As I’ve mentioned before, I truly prefer dating non-American women. As of this writing, I’ve dated two Eastern Europeans, two Russians, two Germans, a Swede, an Israeli, and a Canadian. While none of those girls were absolutely perfect mentally, they were certainly more feminine, more conscientious about their bodies, and more straightforward than the Americans I’ve dated. I’ve basically been dating non-Americans exclusively the last few years.
Well, I’ve recently started making contact with a normal American girl who happens to be mega-hot. By “contact” I mean through the Internet. I still haven’t met her in person (she lives a few hours away). We were just “friends” for a while, but MySpace messages turned into e-mail messages which turned into chats and now phone calls and text messages. Flirtation has been a big part of this. This all sounds great, but…
…I’m now being reminded why I basically date non-Americans. She plays games. She admits to playing games. She talks about other guys, which is something I generally don’t care about, but she seems to do it at inappropriate times. She reverts from being charming to being bitchy in a split second. She has no idea what she wants in a guy. She seems to mull relationships from some kind of logical formula, instead of letting her heart be her guide.
Ugh.
I guess I can’t bitch too loudly about that last point, because the “logical formula” thing is what I do. I am always thinking about what degree of attraction and what degree of sense of humor and what degree of intelligence and I need to be happy. So I guess I am being somewhat hypocritical. And maybe that is why so many of us are still single. We’re thinking too much.
Regardless, I think I’m going back to the international dating thing pronto.

I can see your why you would want to go abroad for dating. It seems as if most hot American girls have a tendency to be either bitchy or slightly nutty. Perhaps many of them are bitchy because they’ve been catered to so often and have been allowed to get away with that sort of behavior.
As I read your discussion of this hot babe being logical about relationships, it occurred to me that was a case of the pot calling the kettle black. But you noted the same thing: that you were guilty of this as well.
I don’t think you’re wrong about thinking through relationships logically. If you think with your heart you run a big risk of ending up with someone with whom you will be miserable.
Some people tell you they thought with their heart and ended up in a great relationship. But I suspect that’s due in large part to good luck. Most people who are in great relationships don’t really know why they found the other person who was right for them.
It’s kind of like those 112 year-olds that are interviewed by the media. They are always asked about their secret to longevity. They never say, “I don’t really know” or “I’ve got the genes for it”. They say something about their lifestyle, such as, “I’ve smoked and drank my whole life” or “I’ve never smoked or drank in my life.” Anecdotes prove very little.

I forgot to mention: The ratio of hot girls to non-hot girls is MUCH more favorable overseas.
