Dear Anonymous American Male...

Dear Anonymous American Male,

I am writing to you in regards to the post you left on this recent post, in which you commented...

"I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?

American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.


This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women."

First, let me say Thanks! It made me laugh out loud. But, forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does this have to do with my (almost) step son's Anime costume?  Nothing?  Oh good.  Because I thought my simple American female mind may have missed the relevance somehow.

Second, I feel I must in good conscious, delete your comment, as you've included your link, and I'm afraid I'm already having issues with my computer and I don't need any new foreign viruses.  Also, I would hate for another simple American to stumble upon it and infect themselves as well.  Sorry.

And third, since you clearly were new here and haven't read any on my posts recently, or ever, allow me to educate you.

I am an American woman.  Born, raised, and proud.

I am divorced. I didn't cheat, but he did.

I am a bit heavier than I was when I was 18.  I have curves and a shape that comes from truly loving everything that makes living amazing. Every stretch mark, extra pound, and dimple, is a testament to labors born, ice cream shared, and memorable dinner cooked from scratch and savored.

When I divorced, I was left homeless, with two children under 2 years old, no job, and $7 in the bank.  He also left me a $10,000 bar tab on MY credit card, and I haven't seen a dime in child support in 5 years.  Every thing I have, my home, my cars, my life, is because I EARNED it on my own.  I've never stolen anything, except maybe a pen by accident, and even then, I gave it back.

I LOVE the look, smell and satisfaction of a clean house, and expect everyone who lives here to help keep it that way.

And, No.  I don't want any more children, I already have 2 + 1 Bonus teen, so I'm all set.

As for being generally immature, I do admit I do enjoy a good round of "UNO" or "Go Fish".  I play jokes on my children and am often found up to my elbows in craft projects, although I do refrain from eating the paste.  I will also admit to being extremely selfish in wanting another 15 minutes of sleep.  Just 15 minutes, then I'll go on about my day of pleasing every one around me.  And You got me, it was entirely irresponsible to not insist on getting my own driveway free and clear of snow, before I went over and shoveled out the elderly woman two doors down, the entire neighborhood's mailboxes, and my other neighbor so that when she got home from work she would hurt herself on the slush and ice..  I really should have taken care of myself first, you're right, how irresponsible and selfish of me.

As for your suggestion of marrying someone who is foreign, I did consider that. 

Almost Hubs is not from here.  He was born in Europe and happily resided there until he was ten. He learned English, created a life, and CHOSE to become an American.  He studied our history, took our tests, and was naturalized in Faneuil Hall.  He votes in every election, follows current events daily, stands up for what he believes, contributes to the economy, and faithfully pays his taxes. In many ways, he is more American than I am. I was given those rights and privileges, he earned them. 

He is one of the smartest, well read, well spoken men I know, and I am so thankful everyday that he chooses to love me.

Clearly from the copy/pasted excerpt you felt compelled to publish into my comments, either you've been hurt badly by your ex-wife, or you're still bitter from not dating in High School.  Perhaps, they had the foresight to see the train coming through the tunnel to hit them.  In the mean time I offer you this...

Let. It. Go.

Or, move.  Quite simply, if it is foreign women you want they are plentiful overseas.  You could have your pick of any woman in the entire country.  May I suggest somewhere in the Middle East?  I hear Egypt is welcoming American men who are willing to come visit and take their women.

God speed.
