Not wanting to disagree with you but the reality of life is that the
advertised ( idea, image ) will gather a bigger following.

Dare I say even undeserved admiration specially from the young and the impressionable .

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.

I'm increasingly confused by these generalizations about women in the diaspora or "West"... They don't resemble me or my circle of friends growing up.
I think the types that you all are describing are so disappointing, appalling, etc. that they are more memorable and thus overrepresented in our memories. The quiet, well-mannered, intelligent types either weren't noticed at all or quickly forgotten because they didn't "shock the conscience."

edited to add:

I want to clarify that I am not saying this sort, like Kristina, don't exist nor that their numbers aren't increasing because, much to my horror, they do and they are, BUT I am saying they are not as large a proportion as it may seem to you.

The type to sell her soul, as long as anybody's buying...

We tend to look at the product and express our dissatisfaction.
Usually “its not the fault” of the product but the factory its made in.

The “soul” develops, is influenced brainwashed if you will depending on the environment these kids grow in.

Family and parents attitude, language religion.
Home cultural environment language spoken, music, songs, also the media radio TV etc.,
Neighbourhood and friends.
School and school environment .
etc, etc

Looking at the overall situation we have no choice but talk in terms of percentage survival rate ( as Armenians).
Sadly its not a pretty picture.

I shudder at the though of the coming generation and next cycle of carnage.

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.

I think you first have to address the issue, "what Armenian girl"? Are we talking about the Armenian female in the West or the Armenian female in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Armenia, Georgia, etc.? I think a lot of the problem is (and I could be wrong), that many Armenian women in the West don't acknowledge their ethnicity as a reason for marrying. Armenian women marry for 'love' primarily, and usually ignore Armenian men.

I think Armenian women almost automatically disqualify Armenian men because they want to marry for 'love', like they couldn't find that with an Armenian man?

You're partially right, there are some Armenian women who are hardcore (seems to be more of the Tashnak/Dashnak type). Typically Armenian women who grew up in the West feel that they should naturally meet their future "soul mate" instead of planning their future and searching for someone who is more suitable. That and an Armenian man is usually working his ass off to reach a state where he can support a family all the while the typical westerner has been settled for generations and already has an advantage. Armenian girls in the West are also rather spoiled, they use the culture they were raised with and sell it out to the first highest bidder.

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.

disgusting. Well for one she is not 'Armenian', she is pure American, don't care how much Armenian "blood" she has. Being Armenian (and any other identity) is heavily based on one's mindset, values, and culture - because that is how you connect to the Armenian people and be part of the Armenian Group. Instead of calling her a "disgraceful Armenian", we should just call her a "typical American" because that's what she is and is no way an Armenian.

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.

I never understood these types of Armenians. Don't you realize what kind of culture you have been graced to inherit? I don't get it. How can you not be inspired by our Church, history, language, literature, people? It boggles the mind...

Go to Armenia and see our churches in Bjni, Ani, Ashtarak, all over the countryside and still tell me you wish to be part of the fake Hollywood culture:
