In reply to the discussion: We all know men who think they deserve to own women: This is a horrifying exaggeration of that. [View all]davidn3600
(6,342 posts)This is what I've heard from such men that get brides from overseas:
1. American women are out of shape
2. American women only care about a man's bank account and are too expensive to keep happy
3. Foreign women are more "family-oriented."
4. Just more interesting to interact with someone from another culture/race
5. Foreign women take marriage more seriously than American women
These are NOT my opinions, by the way. So don't trash the messenger. I'm just listing what guys have said and what I've read over the years.
I'll tell you this though...considering all the male friends I've ever had, when they talk about women... the biggest complaint is #2 on that list. That women are too expensive to keep happy. And A LOT of men think women put "income" and the guy's career at the top of the list for their desires in a mate. Whether it is true or not, most guys out there think you have to have money to woo a girl. That's why we call our cars, "chick magnets."
And by the way...are you suggesting that foreign women can't be smart?
