I don't quite understand your meaning about the women you go for. It seems they're not to your tastes, but have a condition (not so much a personal style) that you figure is helpful to getting something serious going.
Well, I would not say they are not to my taste. They are beautiful, but have something more internal going on that I like. Afterall, the beauty wears off and whats left is what you have in a good partner. For starters, I'd say they dont come across as whores and many of them are logical in nature. This is great for me. I have money and they have money so their guard is down as they know I dont need their money to go where I want to go and do what I want to do. You know?
Wolfeye wrote:If I understand it, it's the idea that money wouldn't be a factor & so the relationship would be based on personal connections- something much more reliable in tough times (I'd definitely think that one is likely to inform on you in certain kinds of tough times). The Jewish women, from what I understand, are NOTORIOUS for not being passionate- like the polar opposite of Latinas, on that level. Might explain some things. Might be that they WANT to, but there's kind of a hold-back that causes a physical situation- like a guy that is attracted to a woman, but doesn't quite get hard because he things it's dirty or something. Just ideas.
I wouldn't say Jewish woman are notoriously passionate. I have know a few older Jewish women who are bored in their marriages and there is no sex, but you could not convince them that leaving their life partner is going to make them happy. They would think you were pure evil. I would say, they are seriously committed. And do not have multiple sexual partners. In america that makes them look more attractive than at least 90% of the population. But again, I am German. lol

I would also think with Vlad Dracula as a national hero (he's the only figure I know of that was defending against an invader that is now described as a villain), they'd be staunch combatants of that particular religion. Bulgaria sounds cool. Not part of Schengen, right? I might have citizenship by then (putting the finishing touches on getting it from Italian heritage- unbelievable how much it takes when Germany is just handing out papers), so I might not have to worry about Schengen time limits. Will remember not to talk too much- don't want to come off like I'm "gracing them with my presence & opinion."
No. Im sorry, Bulgaria is where I saw Mosques. And the situation you're speaking about with Romania is the mosque that was funded by turkey, right? It was to be in Bucharest? Yes. That was supposed to be a bloody huge mosque and Romania resisted it. That is a very big deal because that would have been the mosque to rule them all.
Wolfeye wrote:I look forward to the positive culture shock. I've watched Demolition Man so many times & I totally got the reference. It's good to know- I'm thinking the Slavic countries aren't dainty like that, though. Don't want to paint Western Europe with that broad a brush, but it seems they're getting kicked around & grinning like idiots about it (more & more exceptions to that, though- seems the mainstream media doesn't get into that very much). You ever travel to Czechia or Slovakia?
Not so literally, but you'd be surprised none the less. Slavic countries are more like demolition man than what you are accustomed to here. They are more trusting than you might think. But most of Europe will seem that way to YOU after coming out of something so Overpopulated and socially polarized as America is. Slavic countries are beautiful till you began behaving like an American. Like, being loud while talking on the phone in public. You'll see. And racism is different than what you see here in America. One of the things I used to ask all of my American friends was to explain Racism in America to me. Because , back home, racism is more complicated than skin color. Its like, I could grab a rock from south africa and one from Denmark and ask you where each is from and you could not tell me, right? This is very difficult to explain and may be better off having its own thread. But here in America, its as simple as visual appearance. Has nothing to do with where someone was born. Just skin color. Which is rather sad to observe.
In fact, just the other day, I heard a gay person tell a truly racist joke and when I called him on it, he says "I'm gay, I can't be racist." - I laughed at him and told him he is gay and a piece of shit. Then I asked the black guy that was within earshot if that joke made him feel uncomfortable. He said "Yeah, man, I was born here and It sucks being reminded that i'm different. I feel like i'm not an American. And with black folk, this is very dangerous. because most black people in this country are having a faith-based crisis. Maaannn, Worshiping THEIR God is wrong. Because THEIR GOD isn't protecting us from them and their blatant racism and reminders that we are not American." He said this while looking directly at the gay guy who told the joke. The room went quiet. "You're Goddamn right" I said. And I think everybody in the room truly understood where he was and where he might take his faith. Then he smiled and said he likes my accent and asked where I'm from. Hes a really neat guy and he spoke some German. I was impressed.
I digress. I think you will be blown away wherever you go in the western world, Wolfeye. America lives in it own bubble and people here seem afraid to travel. They think just because people from all over the world come here, they don't have to travel anywhere. But the truth of the matter is, power attracts the corruptible and America is very powerful. And many people who can afford to come here can be just as easily corrupted. I'm certainly not here on business. But I do feel like I need to see America before 'The Change' takes place. I do think America's clock is ticking. Thats just me.
