I am an american woman - I don't have anything against american men per say - contrary to what hollywood movies show, americans are not all idiots, there are many nice, intelligent and good looking american men.

However there are a few things left to be desired in the american dating scene. First, although there are all types of people, american men definitely seem to have a thing for asian women and blonde women. I'm not saying this is bad per say, but when most of the men I know are looking for a silky black hair, there is really not much out there left for me as a short curly and curvy brunette. I don't really think I fit into the american idea of local or exotic beauty. Coincidentally, most of the men that hit on me are european, latin american or middle eastern, or indian anyways. There is definitely a feminine beauty type that men go for here, and unfortunately for me, I am just not it. The idea is starting to grow on me that I might have a better success rate with a foreigner.

The other thing I sort of dislike about american men, (and americans in general) is that they really are always on schedule to do something, be somewhere, or stress out about something they have or haven't achieved. My scottish friends are a lot more laid back and they seem to take life as it comes. In addition to this, when we go out it's more for the fun of it - unfortunately there are a lot of american bars where it's really frattish and all about getting hammered and laid (I try to avoid these bars as much as possible, but they are definitely all over the place).

In any case if a beautiful smart man came to sweep me off my feet I doubt I would refuse, whether american or scottish. In my case I really doubt he'll be american.
