There are the Western men who "treat 'em mean to keep 'em keen" and there are many Western women who respond in a similar way to men.
Many Western women have been interviewed over generations and they have expressed their fondness for bad boys. This bad boy stereotype has been propagated by women themselves.
Sadly some women link bad behaviour with good sexThis can be true too.
What I have experienced with my lovely (Filipina) wife, as I'm sure lots of you have also found, is that kindness is easily repaid in kind. This kindness seems to have been generally forgotten in Western countries. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why so many Western men find Asian ladies attractive to them, but it is only one reason.
Let's leave the mean brigade to each other and enjoy the harmony that we are mostly lucky to have being married to a Filipina.
