Men Who've Made A Home Here For Love ♡

[Gringoboy]

I thought this might be rather fitting, although maybe not in such a paranoid way that Dr Hook have written it.
There's definitely something about being with a beautiful woman who turns heads.

Can I ask what is the age difference between you & your GF ???

I am 6 years years older than her.

 

[DontMindMe]

Just those two, really? Do you often judge people based on a few sentences on an internet thread ?

No. I've been a reader of the forum for a long time. I happen to like Gringoboy and Jay because they seem like nice people and don't do the silly macho boasting thing. I in particular liked Jay's post for reasons I have already stated. Gringoboy always speaks of his wife as a human and not, say, a car...

There are sexist posts all the time. The forum wasn't like this when I first started reading, but I think it now runs heavily male, much older and whiter than it used to. I ignore most of the sexist posts because this forum is a way for me to waste time and I'd rather waste my time in a more pleasant way than dealing with that mess. I love that I'm getting so much backlash for my "fiery" comment when the guy who called the mother of his children a "cum dumpster" in the women's thread got next to nothing, and also sympathy for having to deal with that horrible woman, despite the fact that we have absolutely no idea what her side of the story is. But I also predicted this. She sounds horrible, but so does the guy who posted about her.

Is saying "This thread is exactly what I expected it to be" really that upsetting to y'all? Does that make me have a fiery temper? Do you ever see me arguing in those ridiculous gun control or political threads? Not interested. On rare occasions I get irritated by the sexist nonsense that gets posted, and I say something.

Like this:

"Even though he is an artist, successful in business and leads a very interesting life, I see him trying to find a mate among the angry, neurotic, gold diggers there and I long for him to consider the Argie women that have made good partners for so many of us."

Your story is sweet, jeff, but this is exactly the stuff I can't stand. Did you ever stop to think that perhaps the common denominator in his and your previous failed relationships is HIM and YOU? You and many others have found an Argentine woman to love, so you decide that women elsewhere suck? Do you really think your partner is great because she's Argentine, and not great just because she's a great person? I am trying to remember if I have ever read a comment from a woman on the forum that slags American/British/Australian men the way men slag on the women where they come from (and Argentine women who won't date them, for that matter). I honestly don't think I have.

I write one sentence. I get accused of being having a "fiery temper" and being "wound up." Typical, predictable and 100% expected; therefore, I am anything but. B)

It seems more than anything, DontMindMe you have taken offence at the positive outpour for Argentine women in this thread (perhaps a little insecure, not sure). I have seen plenty of positive discussion in my time here in this forum re Argentine guys vs men from other countries and the search function would prove that. I wouldn´t be so insecure though, its obvious there are great men and women from all over the world, despite where they come from. I have dated from great girls back home, including Australians, 2 British girls and a Canadian girl. For me though, the Argentine girls are fantastic, they definitely fit my "type" and to me, my girlfriend is absolutely perfect.

Each to their own, but I am certainly happy to hear the stories of the blokes who are happy down here with their partner, just as I am for girls who have found a great guy.

So you feel that people telling you that you sound angry is 'typical, predictable and 100% expected'.

This has been a humorous thread about alot of people who found happiness. Do you have a story to contribute?

There are good women and there are bad women, so what if we cry after bad women, Why someone get offended by that?

Don'tMindme gets a resounding support from me for a fairly argued defense...labelling her angry, wound up or insecure is just rehashing feeble labels to deflect a truth that may or may not have hit home. The issue here is why use derogatory terms to discuss women of any nation (cumdumpster?) I've met some absolute lunatic women and men in my life and believe me no sex or nationality gets the dibs on ownership for craziness or evil. It's down to individuals nothing more. Like many expats I've travelled broadly and could have married many a man in various continents and had offers accordingly. Likewise I've been dumped in various countries..I don't tar a nation with a brush due to my own shortcomings, few and far between as they may be ...PS I met JayTusa and his charming son today and he is as respectful but humorous in his "live" stories as one could imagine from his posts.

Well, there is this -

I committed to living here after I married an Argentine many, many years ago. After returning to the States this "great guy" suddenly became lazy and refused to work and completely changed and insisted that it was my job to take care of him. Maybe he didn't change, maybe he just didn't reveal his true self until later in the marriage or I was simply blind and in-love. I moved back to Argentina because one disappointment wasn't enough.The second Argentine partner cheated on me, as well as the third. The fourth was twice my age but still too immature to know what he wanted in life. He ended up becoming a very good friend of mine and he's still twice my age and still emotionally immature like many men here (not all) that can't commit. I don't want to generalize and offend someone. I think he's like many Argentines that are passionate in the beginning, then they begin to view the woman's charms as flaws and quickly get tired and start to look somewhere else to fulfill their needs, or they break off the relationship and start the same game in this never ending cycle. In the end, I committed to living here, but certainly not for love of an Argentine man, or men, but for the love/hate relationship with the country.....which is also immature, can't commit, is unstable, unpredictable and untrustworthy. LOL. It taught me to maintain a sense of humor in life.

Not sure if that counts, perhaps laying all of ones relationship problems at the feet of Argentine men (whilst ignoring the 'common denominator') is OK. Don't tell me this isn't a constant theme amongst those insufferable tango princesses from foreign shores. It is interesting seeing the different perspectives of men and women who have chosen to live in the gender relations time machine that is Argentina - is there a pattern emerging?

Having said that I do agree that this forum has taken a blokey turn of late (and that comment was totally unacceptable) and as many of these same blokes have themselves admitted that they need an occasional kick up the arse to be kept in line in their marriages I see no reason why the same antidote shouldn't be prescribed for their behaviour on this forum, so kick away ladies...
