Are FSUW (generally) better?

[GQBlues]

How many guys here have ever picked the ugliest woman they've seen and attempted a relationship with her?

...and this is what I mean by filtering the *noise*. Swing it to the opposite extreme.

But to keep that silliness afloat, I can't speak for the *men* but the casserole is certainly ripe for the serving on the opposite of the table. But I suppose *disparity* have more than one place in this discussion, no?

Look, bottom line, if what many of you believe is even remotely true, the starting five, or the line-up card of these women's suitors will be comprised of the top of the hunky heap tripping over each other getting one of dem wimmen...and not your average SRM or Joe Public Loser.

Therefore, wealthy men in the West, will never have their wives file for divorce on them, unless there is infidelity, right? 

You should have addressed your question to GQ, not me.  I was merely clarifying his point.

Wow, GQ...you must be deep into your St. Patrick's Day celebration...no negative implications intended.

My personal view:

I am doing what I want to do.

She is doing what she wants to do.

If we come together, who cares which of us is lighter, better looking, upgrading, enriching, etc.

It is between her and I.

Well, it's a nice fantasy, and I'll only respond to one side.  With people living in cars since the economic collapse, I think a lot of AW have seen other than "good times" and managed to survive them. 


Your descriptions were far too broad.  WW are not monolithic.  Neither are AW, for that matter.

I can create a WAY better fantasy than that.

Wrong.

I'll play fair and answer my own question. (This are my personal musings, not a dissertation for an anthropology PhD.)

This is why I personally think WW are inferior to FSUW.

-Most WW are familiar (common), and as Florence King said, "Familiarity doesn't breed contempt. It is contempt." FSUW are exotic, not boring.

-Most WW see things in black and white, as is seen in the platitude "there are two sides to a coin." FSUW see things in grey.

-Most WW have a blind trust in government, courts, etc. For example, most Americans still believe voting actually matters and that they have control over "their" government. FSUW have a healthy cynicism about government. Here we see an example in a popular Russian saying that espouses attitudes of legal nihilism: Утиного зоба не накормишь, судейского карман не наполнишь (Like a duck's stomach, it is difficult to fill up a judge's pockets.)

-Most WW are idealistic as opposed to practical like FSUW. For example, the "American dream." As George Carlin said, it's a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. FSUW have the mindset of Il Duce: ""The sanctity of an -ism is not in the -ism; it has no sanctity beyond its power to do, to work, to succeed in practice. It may have succeeded yesterday and fail to-morrow. Failed yesterday and succeed to-morrow. The machine first of all must run!"

-Most WW have become weak during the good times as opposed to FSUW who became tough survivors during a very hellish modern period of "transition" to democracy (more like kleptocracy). A lot of FSUW, especially those in their 40s-50s, are as tough as the Depression era women of America.

-Most WW are besotted with political correctness. FSUW call a spade a spade and never met a euphemism they didn't like.

-Most WW have little familiarity with guns. Many FSUW received training as part of their education and can operate and disassemble firearms such as the Makarov pistol or the Kalashnikov automatic rifle. (Albeit, these are FSUW who attended school when the USSR was still governing.) Anyhow, in a zombie apocalypse a trustworthy Russkaya would be a powerful teammate. Kommanda!

-FSUW have a stoic worldview, not an unrealistic view of people.

I'll stop now, because this could go on forever.

Those are cute, but rather sweeping generalisations based on (presumably) your own limited experience. American women are anything but weak. Do you know the difference between maternity leave policies in the US and FSU? Only American women can go to the hospital to give birth right from the office, and go right back to work after just 12 weeks (if they are lucky) and think this is okay. When my FSUW girlfriends found out about this, they couldn't believe what they heard and felt really bad (still do) for AW.
Way more AW have close familiarity with guns. FSUW younger than 35 or 30 didn't receive any gun training at school. And those who did forgot it immediately and never touched a gun again. You'll be much better off with an AW from some Texas trailer park in case zombies actually show up

Wrong.

I was being sarcastic ...
