CB: I'm an American man.

Naturally, your hypothesis that American men make better husbands is emotionally appealing. But it's bunk.

Take two of your *hypotheses* as simultaneously true: American men tend to make better husbands, and American women tend to marry American men.

Take the *fact* that America also has the highest divorce rate of any nationality.

So American women are divorcing better husbands at a higher rate than in other countries!

So that makes American women clueless? Or is the high divorce rate a product of the actions of those "better husbands"?

Pick one of these swords to fall upon, or perhaps admit that the premise is flawed. Which kills at least one of your two hypotheses.

I offer that you are merely imputing cause from effect, which is a common mistake.

In actual fact, more often than not American women choose American men as husbands for a host of reasons, and, judging by the divorce rate, most of these reasons aren't very well thought out.

In the end, using the marital choices made by American women (or American men for that matter, I am not gender biased) to butress any argument about the marital qualities of the other gender flies so square in the face of any "logical" argument as to raise me to reply.

You may "feel" you have won, but that's an internal field of battle, largely meaningless out here.

Just FYI, a jury of your peers might "feel" differently.
