After dating two diffrent foreign guys,I have come to the conclusion that people of foreign origion always try to underate people of other nationalities.Everything is always of a better outlook in their homme country.In my opinion if you are not mature
enough to be able to appriciate other culture they should not crossdate

Greetings Nies,
Well, it sounds that you did not have good experiences it dating men from different cultures, it can be really difficult, and as you say, it depends on the level of maturity of a person to make a relationship work.
When you are from two, very different cultures, it requires alot of compromise, because you can have even simple differences that in the end can cause very big problems. Things like language, religious beliefs, even the cooking of food.... It all depends on how much you like the person, and more importantly, if the two of you understand each other on a level that is rare to find, within or without your culture. Also, maturity comes into it, to be able to talk and overcome cultural differences.
Nies, maybe the competetive culture is to try to underrate each other, whether from different cultures or not, but not everyone is like this.
One Love, Helena

Greetings.
Exactly what do you mean by foreign?
By foreign do you mean foreign Black/KMT or non-black?

it does sound like you've had some bad dating experiemces. as someone who has dated people from several different continents, as well as those is my own area, i would still recommend that if you find another foreigner with whom you have tha connection, you give that person a chance. dating people from other countries can be interesting and mind-opening. as for the problem with them being so into their countries, it is important to remember that no matter where one grows up, that will always be home and dear to them. also, there are diffent measures of what qualifies a better outlook. maybe you should ask them to explain.
if they are simply into bashing your country, however, thay aren't good for you and you're right, they shouldn't cross date
