Tall and tan and young and lovely, The girl from Ipanema goes walking...

So another quick and boring story about Jimmy's dating hang-ups. At a Chinese New Year dinner last week, a friend of mine asked me about dating preferences, and it inspired a couple different conversations.

One discussion was around the fact that they were incredibly amused by the fact that I used the term equal-opportunity in regards to my ethnicity preferences, but that's not that relevant.

The more interesting thing was when I was discussing how I had this phobia of dating girls that weren't born in the United States. Part of it is the fact that I love just about everything about being an American. The less rational part is that I have this subconscious feeling that foreigners are trying to find an American husband, in order to immigrate into this country.

It wasn't until I was talking to a friend of mine this morning, that I realized the reason behind my thinking. I'm permanently scarred from watching the show "I Married Dora".

It's clearly not my fault and this is the result of TV clouding my brain.
