It is so sad that many guys here block girls outside US.
I can understand that many are afraid for scammers and girls that just wants that green card. But you miss out the beautiful, nice girls from Europe ;)
Me being from Europe don't really care about europeans.
Most of the time they're grey, dull people, but at they least have some depth; unlike US women who are so shallow, and fake, and can't stand a normal or reasonable conversation without completely shutting down...
If I didn't have the option of blocking out the non-us contacters, I'd constantly have to wade through hundreds of Philippine or other asian girls wanting green cards.
A relationship is already hard as is, when seeing or living close by the other person.
Coming from one who actually married a girl abroad, for 7 years almost, I'd have to say that I care not to repeat the process.
The long distance relationship is very hard, and only works when both partners want to talk.
Most people don't want to talk anymore; or don't have the time.
Not only the dating process is tenacious, but in marriage cultural differences constantly clash, an added difficulty.
And that's all in 'perfect' conditions, when things would work out; which you don't ever have the guarantee it would!
And I was a young adolescent when I met my wife online, she was a teenager/youth.
When I'm older, I see a lot of women acting careless, only up for a laugh, and the new of getting to know someone, hoping that person will forever grab their attention, and has no boring moments himself; quickly getting bored of the person when he does appear to be just but another human male.
That super handsome face, athletic body, with a joker-funny character male seems to be on all women's mind.
They forget that 95% of the males are not like that; or they're what's called a Ninja-clown, or an entertainer, made to be on TV, not walk around in the real world.
So, I block girls from outside of US, because I have no faith that it will work at all, even if it might, I don't have the strength to start building a friendship with the aim to get married, probably 3 to 4 years down the road.
At most I will want to be contacted for casual friendship, just a small season, to be someone's friend; but long distance relationships don't do me anything anymore...
I'm sure a lot of guys think the same, and no one is willing to risk a long distance relationship,when there is so much offer nearby, and it's so hard to actually get something going on with someone nearby...
