American boys vs. The World's men
I was conversing with a girl today whom I used to have a crush upon for awhile before I feel insanely in love with Kara.

It was the first time we had discussed my intentions with her during that period of time.

Her pickiness was touched on briefly then, after me berating her sarcastically with remarks about how I should live up to her expectations, explained in further detail her philosophy concerning the differences between the boys over here and the men over there. She didn't go as far into it as I would have liked so as to give me an idea of how to better myself, but did propose that perhaps it was the idea that men abroad are more forward and persistent. I said that around certain women its hard for certain men (I.E. - me) to be forward and persistent because not only are certain women very intimidating, but most American women either don't take well to forwardness and persistence, or they view it as something that's socially deviant. This, in turn, makes it much harder on males such as myself because A) we don't know how to approach the woman and B) we don't know when we're being to forward or persistent. I informed her that I was quite forward with numerous women that I've dated and persistent as well, but this occurred when I had the upper hand, when I knew the woman had at least a bit of interest in me. There are plenty of guys that cannot be damaged mentally when they are constantly taiing a woman or being aggressive and brazen, mostly because 75% of the time they aren't turned down.....I am not one of these males. I'm confident when I want to be, but not always when I need to be. You women perhaps need to realize that just because a guy may not be frightningly assertive with his feelings, it doesn't always mean his doesn't intensely feel for you...and you shouldn't hold this against him, instead, you might take to role of the contender and aggressor.

Now after this brief, yet enlightening conversation regarding overzealousness or the lack thereof, I proposed that it might be the cynicality (is that a word?) or the need to find the fault in logic in everything that makes American males different from those abroad (no pun intended). It seems to me as though those living in places like Europe seem to be less focused on the negative in their lives or if they do, they at least feel like they can fix it, and want to. Its as if American males come out of college with a second, unlisted degree, a Bachelor's in misanthropy with a minor in bullshit. I can see how most women that go over to Europe would find that uninhibited atmosphere a bit more appealing than the cretinous and unconcious American alternative.

Just something to think about I guess. Feel free to disuade me.
