South America A Journey to "Real Life" in South America... a land of Simplicity and Hospitality!... "Living in the Northeast is a distorted reality... It is unnatural and abnormal... The rest of the world is not like this" - Walid
Publisher's Note: Although I have been truly blessed for having genuine friends and often surrounded by beautiful and sincere women of "substance" right here in the U.S., I happen to be the exception to the rule, because I have the free time, the personality, the energy, and the enormous exposure to so many people that contact me on a daily basis through my high visibility websites... However, many of the people I talk to seem to feel "trapped inside a large prison in Northeast America, and are just plain sick & tired of dealing with women in the U.S. with crappy attitudes and neurotic idiosyncrasies of feministic materialism". It is very important to add "God bless America!". We should NEVER EVER forget our blessings here... nor should we drink from a well and throw a stone in it!... With its imperfections, it is still our beloved country and arguably the best country on the face of the earth.... However, engaging in entertaining, somewhat exaggerated, social criticism about one aspect of life in America is what gives us all food for thought and room for improvement. Furthermore, I am not saying people in South America live better than us in the U.S. or vice versa. What I am saying is that we can learn something from them... and the simplicity of their existence!... Many thanks for Walid, Michel, Vivianne, Cheffie, Adel, Nadine, Antoine & Diana and so many others I cannot list... for giving me their valuable input for this Article...
COMPARISON
Women living in South America (Compiled by Nabil)	Women living in The U.S. (Mostly compiled by Michel & edited by Nabil)
Welcome to the World of Cheerful & Down to Earth	Welcome to the World of Crappy Attitudes
Many women are often down to earth, graceful and 100% feminine	Many women are often loud-mouthed, intolerant and 75% masculine
They have natural love for people and an eager desire to meet strangers	They have love for themselves, unfounded phobia of strangers, and totally self-absorbed.
Genuine friendships - they just love being in your company	Opportunistic dysfunctional friendships that is self serving - they can be your friends only if they need something from you
They always engage you in enriching conversations all evening	They often sit like duds expecting you to entertain them all evening
They have no desire to control men. They are truly all feminine. They just want to enjoy an enriching company and fulfilling intimacy with men of substance	They are under the delusion that they can control men with that ONE thing that oversexed men in the U.S. desperately want... What they never learn is that this type of men only want that "thing" from them ONCE!...
They enjoy the simplicity of life and are content with the little they have	They are confused lost souls who have no clue on what they want in life
They have a genuine desire to meet a nice guy with a good mind, a good heart and good energy	Their twisted delusion that treating nice guys like crap and messing with their minds is Life's biggest achievement
No need for a date with them... They are always ready to go out with you as soon as you pick up the phone and ask them to join you	They plan a date with you for Saturday evening... then go out on Friday until dawn... get drunk... get laid with a stranger... feel worthless... and call you on Saturday afternoon with a hangover begging for a rain check
They offer passionate & fulfilling intimacy because you treat them well	When in heat, they go hunting for the best "deal" they can find in return for their mediocre intimacy... then complain endlessly about not being able to find one normal guy!...
They are sincerely looking for true love and stability.	They find true love with 3 different men 3 times a week and, by the end of the week, thy end up being alone, lonely, unfulfilled and more confused!...
They are patient... attentive... appreciative, and focused on you	Many are moody and have the attention span of an ant! (this one was added by Nabil)
They rarely have PMS	Many have 2 PMS's: one is pre and the other is post... and each one of them lasts 14 days... (this one was added by Nabil)

Why South America?

It wasn't until I actually visited Latin America that I finally understood why was it that, for generations, the Lebanese immigrated to South America and never turned back... and, for the most part , we rarely heard back from them in Lebanon.

There is a simple explanation; an exceptional Climate (aires buenos)... the breathtaking landscape... the natural warmth of the respectful and helpful people... the genuine social bonding... the true sense of community... the simplicity of life... etc... etc...

A True Celebration of Life

Authentic Lebanese Food

South America is a place where food actually tastes like food...The meat tastes like meat (not like cardboard)... the fruits are sweet and abundant... and the Lebanese still make -- and present -- tasty and authentic Lebanese food the way it is done in Lebanon...

Yummy!

Hungry Yet?

In Restaurants

In the U.S., you arrive at a restaurant, and in most likelihood, it takes you few minutes before anyone notices you... and when they do, you get a cold "can I help you?" with an attitude...

After you are seated, you see waiters pass you right and left without greeting you let alone acknowledging you. When your waiter finally arrives, you get a half-ass "what can I get you?" with an attitude.

By contrast, in South America, and as soon as you arrive, even if they are packed, a host welcomes you immediately with a respectful "Buenas, Señor" and a big welcoming smile... and seats you in the best seat available. The waiting staff is polite, smiling and pleasant that by the time your meal arrives you are friends with most of them.

Forgotten Innocence!...

A few hours is all it took to recapture the forgotten innocence that we seem to have lost.

It is South America, a place where strangers actually greet one another on the street…a place where people are respectful… You are always greeted warmly with a sincere “Buenas, Señor”…The people in the stores… the people in restaurants… the doorman… even the police… immigration… and the airlines…

Omar, a good old Texan, was in NYC on a visit. All he did was attempt to start conversation on the subway... when he got a true taste of the rude NY attitude...

Easy and Lasting Friendships

South America is a place where people are genuinely “good”… good people who love to help one another and be with one another… good people who make friends easily with strangers… enjoy social get togethers… and enrich one another.

In my never ending desire to explore new places and connect with new people, I finally made it to South America... after all those years. The term South America had been worn out between people in America looking at South Americans as "Children of a lesser God", and those who could not stop saying how warm the South American culture is, how pretty their women are, and many generations of Lebanese who have given up the glory of the U.S, Europe and the Middle East and opted to live in the middle of nowhere... in South America.

Well, now I know South America... and although I am not yet ready to give up my glory in the U.S., I now have a higher appreciation for simplicity of life in the “real world”… far away from New York... the way the world should be.

Touchy Feely & Lovey Dovey

Since drivers are crazy, just like in Lebanon, and since taxi fares are quite cheap, I chose to take taxis everywhere I went... When accompanied, I typically sat next to the taxi driver with my left arm extended "à la Libanaise", and the girls all squeezed in the back... It is not unusual to have one, two, three and even four of them caress my arm at the same time in a display of friendly affection with a hint of innocent sensuality unique to South American women... something the "know-it-all" women in America find it "weird". The energy emanating from 4 women touching you is truly an exceptional heartwarming sensation.

Natural Lebanese Beauty!...

Classy yet Cariñosa!...

In New York City, if a man dares give a woman on the street an admiring shy look, she immediately shoots him down with that disapproving "dirty" look, the one she saves for convicted criminals and people with last year's haircut... followed by a psychotic angry frown. If he ever tries to ask a question or initiate friendly conversation, the woman will ignore him and continue walking pretending he doesn't exist.

In contrast, in South America, you can see stunningly beautiful women all over the place and they all have one thing in common: they are secure in their own skin and very humble. You give a classy woman on the street an admiring look, she reciprocates with a friendly eye contact, a heartwarming smile and, actually initiates a greeting: "Buenas!"... If you initiate a friendly conversation, "en Español" of course, she would stop and talk to you without hesitation, perhaps join you for a cup of coffee, and then later for dinner and, if you know what to say and do, they have no hang ups about going with you to your apartment and spend quality time with you.

South America can be a single guy's paradise every day of the week -- all for FREE!... In the U.S., the only choice "certain" guys have is to spend "Money" for few hours in paradise... Just ask Samir.

Natural Homemakers

In addition to their many natural talents, the women in South America are very "feminine" and natural homemakers.... As a sign of friendship, and without me asking or them asking permission, they tidied my apartment, ordered food from a delicious take out place, set up the table for all of us to eat, talk and laugh... then washed the dishes and cleaned up the table afterwards before music and dancing started...

In contrast, many women in the U.S. will never lift a finger to help out a male friend who invites them for a friendly enjoyable evening at his house... They just eat and let him do everything else.

Best Company

Many women in the US are under the twisted notion that they are God's gift to men... They "expect" a male friend to make plans to take them out and show them round and be their entertaining clown all the time.

By contrast, in Latin America, my female friends loved to make plans for all of us to go out together, so they can show me around, explore their town and their parks, listen to bands, and be the best guides a man can hope for as they engaged me with endearing conversations and useful information about their country and their simple life and happy existence.

Naturally Warm & Expressive

In the US, many women are needlessly petrified of strangers... and treat strangers like a plague.

In Latin America, like in Europe, many women truly feel that "there are no strangers out there, just friends that you haven't met". So, from the get go, they treat you like a human being and welcome you as a family member. Hugs and kisses are given so freely between friends even though neither one intends to sleep with the other... Just a true sense of close friendship and warmth without fear nor complications...
