it's not that i'm bashing but i always feel like either i'm in a bargaining position when i'm dealing with an american woman (like things are being examined to see what everyone brings to the table before a relationship is considered) or it's some woman i wouldn't take seriously anyways because it's just a fling. i say that's with most of the american women i've dealt with, not all. with most of the european women i've dealt with, it's more like if they like you, then they like you. that's all. no need to cross-examine or consider any other factors until the future when those things become apparent.
frankly, there's just more prep work before the actual relationship occurs with american women. it's almost a case a prejudging a person before you actually spend enough time with them, which sucks the romance out of it and turns it into work from the start for me. it's a weird trend for me but that's usually how it goes...
