http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com/
I created it about 7 months ago, and it created a massive stir. Many feminist websites wrote entire editorials about the blog within DAYS of me creating it, it got them so pissed off. It got like 30,000 hits in the first week (I am not exaggerating).
So, please tell me your opinion of the blog, what you think the effect of it was, and so on. I am open to all of your opinions, both positive and negative. Please let me know if you appreciate the blog, or if you feel that I can improve it in the future. I'll try to respond to each comment individually. Thanks!
Have you considered who your target audience is?
Guys who are happily getting laid in America have no need or desire to boycott. It'd be silly for guys who can't get dates to boycott women, it'd be like boycotting something that you can't get or not invited to in the first place.
Girls who are happily with their boyfriends are busy having fun and going out on dates. She is not going to concern herself with the internet or some web site.
That leaves sexually frustrated, man-hating feminists who can't get laid and have too much time on her hands to surf the web and get pissed off at your web site.
If your goal is to tell guys who can't get dates here to go abroad, know that only a small % of men will be motivated enough to get off their butts. Actually, if the guy is motivated, he's likely to be more successful with women or have left to find greener pastures somewhere (or in process of planning on getting there). The culls that are left behind are sexually frustrated chumps with too much time on their hands to post rants about how much they hate XYZ, then jerk off to pr0n on the internet. They know there's greener pastures elsewhere, but cannot leave the comfort zone of their couch.
Personally, I don't get guys who make it abroad to greener pastures, then can't resist spending enormous amount of time to rant non-constructively about how bad America or American women is. If you're already in greener pastures, you should be spending your time to enjoy that pasture (smell the roses, eat the flowers, whatever), and not acting like some freaky ex turned stalker with mental issues and just can't get over it & move on with their lives.
Momopi,
Technically, what you say is true. However, what you wrote sort of implies that the problem with American women lies only in the minds of sexually frustrated chumps. That's not true. It's been objectively proven, by Steve's masterpiece Research Report and others, that modern American women do have extremely serious personality/emotional/character defects and dysfunctionalities. There is plenty of social proof for this and overall observable patterns that are obvious. Anyone who studies Steve's Research Report containing research studies and experts can see this.

So I think that while your points are true and basic common sense, it misses the bigger picture, that there is a real big problem in America regarding the dating scene for men. Even European women, like the Hungarian one posting here, find American women shallow and hard to connect with. So the problem is more widespread than you think, even among the mainstream, not just in the minds of frustrated guys. It's just that this is a taboo subject, so few people talk about it, even if they are suffering in silence.
You assume that only the men who are vocal about their complaints with American women are the only ones suffering. But the truth is, there are likely millions of frustrated suffering men, who suffer in silence, because they either think the problem is them, or are afraid to talk about it because it makes them look like a loser if they do.
I've handed my Happier Abroad pamphlets to plenty of mainstream guys, or emailed it to them. Most of them admit that there is a lot of truth in it. Others say that they've felt the same way, but thought they were the only ones, so had no one to talk to about it. That should tell you a lot, that this problem is widespread, not limited to just a few vocal guys on the internet.
Also, keep in mind that 99.99 percent of guys in America CANNOT simply go out and pick up a date any time they want to, like they show in sitcoms. In reality, most guys are limited by their clique's social contacts, which they have to rely on to meet prospective dates. So if their cliques do not have an extended network that can introduce them to single women who are interested in them, then those guys are out of luck. We are talking mainstream guys, not misfits.
Also, some mainstream guys only have circles of male friends, with no female friends. This is more common than you might think. Not every mainstream guy has a clique of friends with female members in them. Such guys with only guy friends are usually out of luck in America and are at a dating dead end with no opportunities.
The guys who have girlfriends in America usually met them through their cliques or in high school/college, where they had a window of opportunity, which once you graduate, gets smaller and smaller.
Some guys have girlfriends they met at work too, or through business dealings, but that is less common.
So you see, it is not easy at all. The difficulties and problems do not just lie in the minds of the frustrated. They are real and can be objectively proven.
Most mainstream guys in America cannot just "go out and get a date". There are limitations. They are restricted by the contacts that their cliques have. Online personals don't usually work out.
If you look up polls about couples in America, you find that most of them met through friends or back in school. They didn't just "go out and find each other".
I don't think that most men in America are either 1) happily married, 2) happily involved, or 3) happily dating multiple women. Do you? I think that most men are either 1) unhappily married or 2) unhappily single. They merely put up a polite socially acceptable front to others.
Also keep in mind that there are vast numbers of mainstream men in America who are single and dateless, but who do not complain about it. They merely focus on their job and work and try to forget about their loneliness. I'm sure you've met those types. We all have. Such men will tend to agree with our claims as well.
So you see, there are many mainstream men suffering too. They just are not vocal about it. They just focus on work instead.
But the narcissism of American women, unrealistic entitlement standards, lack of commitment, princess attitude, not needing men, not liking nice men, mistreating men, hating and despising men, being too picky, being paranoid of strangers, etc. etc. are all real and objectively proven. They are not mere opinions in the minds of frustrated men. They are well documented and proven, as you can see in Steve's Research Report.

What I'm saying is that, the problem is not all in the minds of the dateless frustrated men in America. The problem in American women is very real, provable, and factual. So you should present some balance, because what you wrote above insinuates that the problem is only with frustrated men, when it is not. It is clearly mostly with the women. Thus, the frustrated complaining men do have a real case and valid complaint, even if they are over-ranting their complaints sometimes.
After all, in other countries, there are no movements of dateless guys who can't find a decent woman. That logically says that the problem is in America, not in a group of frustrated guys. That's the big picture that you miss.
Unless you've done a post about Steve's Research Report yourself Winston, you probably won't be seeing it on BAW's sites. Because all he does is copy & paste other people's work.
