Now, I'm hoping for the best for Radar and his new bride. Love can teach amazing things. To survive, it usually requires you both to, at some point, become less selfish, even selfless.
But what do I know? I'm an uppity American woman. |

The typical bitter and snotty responses from an American woman who finds out an American man is going to marry an Asian woman (particularly one from Vietnam) include: Oh, so you want a submissive slave? What's the matter, couldn't get an American woman? Oh, you have a mail-order bride? Did she promise she will "love you long time"? etc. Quote:

If you the description I've given doesn't match you, you're not one of the people I'm talking about. But some in here know my words hit too close to home and they're upset.

If I wasn't convinced before, I surely am now.

Convinced of what? Your stupidity? I'm fairly convinced myself. glanced over that thread and didn't see any unanswered questions. But if you have such a burning desire for me to answer a question, you won't mind asking it again. If it was so easy for me to miss it on review, I may have missed it going through the first time.

Mr. Ireland did indeed answer the first question I linked to...I apologize for saying otherwise.
I stand by the second one, though. Radar, if you can't figure it out, you're out of luck. I can't help you. Last edited by elSicomoro; 04-30-2004 at 01:38 PM. |

But, differences aside, I wish the best for you and your bride and really do hope things work out for you two especially if you decide to have children.

The US sure as hell doesn't act like it has no authority beyond our own borders. What is "said" and what is actually "done" are two different things.

I've gone out with more than my fair share of American women and most want a commitment and want promises of marriage, despite the fact that they offer nothing and demand everything. Fat chance.

I figure, if it works for them then it works for them. If it doesn't they'll figure that out. There are as many ways to run a marriage as there are couples.
I do think there are more reasonable American women out there than he gives us credit for, but there's nothing wrong with his ideal as long as both parties understand and agree to the way things work. As wolf said, if Radar weren't an atheist there would be a whole wide swath of American women available to him who prefer the more traditional roles in marriage. |

Radar, I didn't know you were married before. You said she was Asian? Asian or Asian-American?
Anyway, good luck with your pursuit of happiness. That's guaranteed, you know. ![]()
