You know the saying, "If we could only see ourselves as others see us"? I'm thinking, if Americans could only see themselves as others see them. What enlightenment that would be!!
No success. Only one averted disaster. The rest: can you hear a lead balloon dropping when it is out in the forest and no single person is there to hear it?
I have met a few and don't think they are any different than other men. A man is an individual. I would hate to think that men see me as only an American woman rather than who I am as an individual. So, South African men: I might like some, I might not like others--depends on the individual.
I think there are plenty of decent, good men, as many as there are women. People get what they want, basically, without often being aware of it. If you really want a good, decent man, you have to want one enough to find one--it's less likely he will just appear. Or he may be right in front of you and you don't recognize him because you haven't clarified in your mind what a good, decent man is. I think, whatever we want in life, if we understand, really understand what it is we want, we can find it or make it happen. But just standing around waiting for it to appear generally isn't going to accomplish much. Also, people in general, seem to think in too romantic of terms when it comes to looking for a love match: basing it on looks and superficial behaviors rathern on the true substance of people.

Hot or Cute
I always hear people say someone's hot or someones cute, I'm pretty sure I know the difference too, but want your opinions on when you say it.
