True. Using that one runs the risk of becoming "the stupid foreigner" though.

Unless in the United States. If you are white and forgien you are considered to be 'cultured' or 'exotic'.

If you are colored then you are just another fucking immigrant here to "tek our jerbs".

People told me that I sound a bit British. In both my English and my Dutch(native tongue). Should I start pretending to be a foreigner in my own country in order to pull off the "cute foreign accent"?

When I drink with my wife and her girlfriend, we play poker and my wife goads me until I speak as I do when I call back home. This, apparently, causes my wife's girlfriend's panties to spontaneously melt off.

I'd say go for it.

I've managed to pull a semi-convincing Irish accent once. Really, having more than one is always a plus.


It's not an addition. It is a replacement :(

Now I want a foreign girlfriend in order to have an exotic accent for her. Great.

Now things got really complicated :p

The hope is that any relationship before marriage is used to learn about yourself, and how you feel when exposed to others. You use it to grow as a person, to learn to accept your failings, and to accept that nobody is perfect. Be comfortable in yourself, then and only then can you be comfortable in someone else, or with someone else in you.

Oh yes. It's just that the people I ended up with so far all had issues they didn't want to talk about that got in the way of an honest relationship.

I tend to feel very comfortable when I'm in someone else.

Though not a lot of space usually.

And that sucks the monkey. Dated this really, phenomenally, outstandingly, way out of my leaguingly hot blonde while I was in the military. Sex was great, but she demanded that we never mention "vagina" or "christmas". It wasn't up for debate. This should have been a raging hint that she was not entirely stable, but I'm male, and sex was outstanding. I popped the flare and got evac almost too late. She, to my knowledge, is still serving time.

"Serving time" meaning "in jail" not "enlisted", right?

Yep. She's in the clink. Hopefully seeing a mental health expert, and working out her obvious glaring issues before she reintegrates into society. Or finds my phone number.

Yeah. I've never had it that bad. Some glaring issues so bad I can't talk about, but not that bad. The last girl I was "not in a relationship with" for about a year and a half somehow couldn't muster the courage to break it off. Annoying as hell, particularly considering how independent and empowered she was.

Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.
