Over the last few years, my dating life has consisted mostly of girls from other countries, especially Eastern European states and Russia. I’ve never made it a specific goal to date or marry a girl from outside the U.S., but it certainly seems appealing.
We’ve posted many blogs on here as to the tremendous advantages of dating girls from Eastern Europe, so I won’t go into listing them again. Just suffice it to say, the quality and selection are WAY better than what you find in the U.S. But I’m having a little bit of a quandary right now. You see, I’ve been chatting-mostly online-with a young American girl for a good two years now. She was unavailable when we first “met”, and we were just friends who would e-mail occasionally. Well, she became available a few months back, and the e-mails became IMs which in turn became flirty text messages and photo exchanges.
Here’s the thing: she is very typically American. By that, I mean she meets a standard that seems to exist for all American girls, and once that standard is met, she has no motivation to be better at anything else.
Let me see if I can make this more clear. First off, she is steel-meltingly hot. She’s a model, and with good reason: she has the body for it. But since she has that aspect going for her, she really doesn’t have to, in the American dating market, have much else going for her. She has, by her own admission:
- Mentioned that she has no idea what she’s doing in the kitchen
- Told me that she already knows she’s a pain in the ass to have as a girlfriend
- Admitted that she knows she lets her emotions get the best of her, making her make irresponsible decisions financially and in relationships
- Has hinted that she feels it’s the man’s responsibility to make good money to support a certain lifestyle
I like her a lot. She’s actually very funny; we make each other laugh all the time. But…and I hate saying this: I know I can do even better than her outside of the U.S. Because in Russia or Estonia or Latvia, there is no “cap” on how good a woman can be. In Latvia, just because you’re gorgeous doesn’t mean you can’t go ahead and learn how to cook a decent meal. In Russia, a knockout hottie still wants a loyal, happy marriage with a man she loves, not a man to fulfill her needs in the “competition among her girlfriends”.
So I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’d still like to fly over to that side of the pond again and meet someone. But, I certainly can’t stop talking to my American hottie. I guess the chips will fall where they may.
