One theme I hear over and over from people of varying ability in meeting women, is that American women are to be avoided. The most common claims are:

• American women have lost their feminine charm by adopting male fashion and hygiene habits, i.e. short haircuts, jeans, T-shirts.
• American women no longer contribute to vital household skills like cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing, as popular culture has branded these activities as "undignified".
• American women still think they're princesses and need to be pampered, whether they earn it or not.
• Oprah.

This meme seems to be popular with virgins and pick-up artists alike, and so you see people who only date Latinas, only date Japanese or Asign girls, and so forth. But just because a lot of people believe it doesn't make it true.

I, for one, don't date very much, and so all the women I know I've only evaluated from the point of view of a friend. So I don't really know how to judge the merit of this meme, except that it's a stereotype. And stereotypes never apply to an entire population. But on the other hand, I've never heard anyone say that American women are better than foreign women, and I find that a little disquieting.

In your part of the world, whether inside or outside of America, how do American women compare to the rest, in general? Please indicate your level of dating experience when you answer.

And might there be some way that American women are better? As in, better for men to date. If you knew a guy who announced he was only dating foreign women, then how would you convince him otherwise?
