odd couple (36)

1 Name: Secret Admirer : 2006-06-05 00:17 ID:/yMFmJBn

My girlfriend is from Japan, I'm from Europe. We're both in our 20's, but as persons very different. I'm an underground subculture loving guy who wants peace in the world while she is a fashion loving girl who only cares about herself (or gives that impression). Even with our differences the only problem I see between us is her pride in being selfish. She's very dependent on me (not my money or job..I'm unemployed and poor :D), but I get very little feelings in return and sometimes when I do it feels it's because she benefits from the situation. Not because she feels in her heart that it's the right thing to do. Making her happy makes me happy, but when I get little in return it makes me sad. We have talked about this, but we always end up with her having pride in being selfish and there is no reasonable conversation.
So, any suggestions with these types of girls? It's impossible to manipulate a personality of course.. but any way to make her feel guilty or face reality?
... oh, and I'm not thinking of finding another girl ;)
