Higher Incidence of HPD/NPD in american women?

gnange wrote:A friend of mine moved to Australia about 5 years ago. He swears that the women are different there from american women. Another friend of mine married a 1st generation Chinese/American woman after his 1st ugly divorce with an american woman. Yet another friend of mine married his 1st wife (he's 45, she's 29 and divorced an american man already) and they seem to be doing fine. They had their 1st baby almost 2 years ago.

The only non american woman I've dated was a 1st generation Viatnamese girl. We didn't work out, but mostly cause I was not into it. We are still great friends after many years.

Anyhow, this topic seems to come up a lot, and I wonder what some of the non US citizens would have to say about non US women, and wether they seem to exhibit the behaviors discussed on this forum. My friend who moved to Australia (grew up his entire life in Colorado) refers to american women as "materialistic bitches". He is now married to an Australian woman, they live in Australia and have 2 children and seem to be doing fine. My friend who married the Russian transplant reffered to my HPD as a "sociopath" and seems to think many US women (and men) fit this description.

A site I've seen, http://nomarriage.com sites thes disorders at about %30 (although I think It's just some guy rambling, and maybe selling books/services for Brazilian women)

I've recently considered a job offer in Australia, and I have definitely been treated as less than I deserve by the American women I've been in love with.

HPD/NPD an american epidemic? That's the question. Hoping the foreigners (digital?, others?) and the US citizens can comment.

I totally agree. It is #######4!

The Cluster B Personality Disorders have been placed at 2-3% of the American population.

yes, i agree 2-3%, perhaps 5%...not much more i don't think.

ngange...

true, north american culture thru the use of the media, consumerism and capitalism has subconscioulsy been promoting a sociopathic type mindset. hpd and npd type behaviour is all over the television. but, that is just what it is.....adopted, trendy behaviour. it is acting.

from the women i really loved with hpd...it is ingrained in her, all pervasive. it's in her eyes, her soul...it's her. it's not an adopted persona.

perhaps, if you believe this then (and i am not saying this with sarcasm or goading...just debating) then the girl you thought had hpd probably didn't. she was probably just a mixed up person. but, not totally an hpd. the hpd i cared for (i knew when i met her, and i still know now...after i left her) that she is very rare. unlike any women i have ever met...except of course the other two hpd's i know. i only met three over a span of ten years, so they are rare. i would say 2-3% is accurate...maybe 5%.

However, beyond this, the American women go even further in grinding my nerves. They ALL wear a ton of make up and are SO ###$ materialistic it is insane. Plus their accent is so nasal and annoying (and they actually put on this stupid voice, apart from the accent itself). Many of them are completely brainless, and the ones that aren't apply their intelligence to being brainless.

However the thing I cannot stand the most about them is the way all of the above features (combined with the american myth-of-the-self-made-man-syndrome) results in the most condescending, clueless, unjustifiably smug ditzs you will ever meet.

By the way, I understand the above two paragraphs are nothing other than a vicious, generalised, bigoted attack on something I have only a little experience on. Allow me to come forward. I am highly discriminatory when it comes to americans. I just don't like them. I like some Americans, but I don't like Americans. It is because of one of their most fundamental cultural values (which incidentally is the cause for much of the world's disdain for them). It is too long to go into now, but understand that my stance is at the very least rational (if still unfair).
