I just have to vent and state a few thoughts about women of different races ( I am sure the same applies to men, but I am stating this from a mans point of view). As with any statement, the statements I make from this point forward are not all encompassing & no statement applies to everyone. So please do not take my comments personally. I work in a field that has a wide array of different cultures, Caucasian, Haitian, Puetro-Rican, Cuban, Black, Mexican and probably several other races I have failed to mention.
Every race/Culture has their own quirks/ beliefs / teachings / traditions / habits or whatever you want to call them. I for one am sick of the direction that "most" women of the Caucasian race are heading. The "modern white woman" has no intent on giving anything of herself to please her spouse, they have became self centered, materialistic, spoiled bitches. Little do they know how rewarding giving of their selves to their spouse can be. I doubt that they care as long as they get the material things they want.
Working closely with Haitian, Mexican, Cuban, Black & Puetro-Rican women I can see a huge difference in their attitudes, needs and beliefs. I cannot explain it and maybe it is just the difference in culture, but any of the women that I have mentioned in this paragraph are more caring and giving that most of the Caucasian women I have ever met. These women seem to derive pleasure from sharing of themselves with their significant other & their families. They are respectful, appreciative and have great pride in their accomplishments. They are not "needy" "greedy" or demanding. Their demeanor makes you want to please them.
Maybe I am just biased due top my own personal experiences. Maybe I am still somewhat stinging from an argument I had earlier with my wife or maybe my eyes have been opened. I don't know the answer, but as I said in my first line I wanted to vent. I welcome any opinions and hopefully I have not offended anyone with my statements.
Take care,
When you come to realize you are riding a dead horse the best strategy is to dismount!!!

Mike no offense taken I find it quite enlightening/interesting to say the least? As a woman I’ve always heard that the “black woman” was the most difficult. Because they’ve had to work so much harder than the “white woman” to be successful and stay successful, giving up any notion of being controlled by the partner. With the success comes attitude, disrespect not allowing the man to be a man, the rolls appear to be switched. Materialistic must haves, needs, keeping up appearances seem to be the goal of choice…so I heard?
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand I’ve always heard white women were the giving ones, submitting ones, non-argumentative,allowing their partner to take full control. If allowed just a little of self, just enough to have a focus a few friends, as long as the relationship continued to exist. No concerns of material possessions, I’d always heard most of the time nice fancy, expensive possessions were already there.
Mike…you have to watch Diary of a Mad Black Man! This DVD relates to ALL RACES, it’s been discussed in men’s groups, therapy session(s) and a huge party chatting favorite! Totally relates to your venting and my assumptions.
Great Post,

and what about Caucasians from other countries? I tend to believe a big part of the differences you observed are indeed culture related. As a French woman I have been really shocked when I moved to the US to see how American women seemed "spoiled". Again, since then I have met many different women and made friends: they are so not all like that!!
ReplyDeleteBut some I have to say, had this "princess complex" and where waiting for Prince Charming, the ring, the fluffy wedding, the white house with picket fence. Very different from what women from other cultures are used to expect.
Dark Cloud,
ReplyDeleteYou make a great point and opened my eyes to my one sideness. I never considered caucasions from another country. I haven't met many women from outside of the US. I tend to agree it is probably mostly "culture Related" and your description of the "princess complex" pretty much summed up my feelings about American women. Thanks for your responces!
Mike
