Are Russian girls really better? I've thought about saving up to go overseas at some point... i'm trying to decide if it's worth it.
For the record, i was in Madison a couple years ago. Women there are gorgeous, but they didn't seem any nicer than girls here on the east coast.
It's a global consumer culture. Borders and country labels mean less and less differences. Russian city girls are not that much different than American women. Pure predatory if not whorish attitudes of the 1990th + (a wild capitalism stage) are slowly substituted by Americanized - get a career, get money, don't give a dime, you are #1. Younger Russian women maintain themselves in a much better fighting trim, that's true. High end of them would maintain themselves well into middle age (same is true about USA). Yet average Russian woman who made a reasonable marriage bet lets herself go (the only difference, she almost never reach humongous American sizes and she does take little bit (no much) better care of her man). Yes, traditional Russian femininity and behavior stereotypes differs drastically from 21st century patterns of woman' liberation (same is true about any other country). Good luck finding that on Bride.RU | Russian brides | Russian women | Russian girls though. World is getting uniform and boring.
Hmm... By your stats, looks like a better question is How many women are actually marriage minded vs. mere romantic fantasy sans commitment?
75%+ of divorces initiated by women (among college educated couples it's whopping 90%, pay attention boys). In essence, women treat marriage as disposable self-fulfillment tool. And then they wonder why men don't want to marry. I tell you, girls, if you are on the path of self-fulfillment, self-assertion, self-discovery and looking for eternal sensation of "love" burning - DO NOT get married, don't discredit marriage even further. Marriage implies automatic constraints to all of the above on both sides, if you are not willing to accept those limitations, stay unmarried and leave marriage for the ones who seek some sort of synergy, so to speak, and who are willing to step on self for the sake of that.

I think men want to marry more then women care to admit I don't truly believe that all men want to grow old alone. I know some don't care one way another but most of would like to find someone & settle down & grow old with someone else. Too bad some women feel that we can't commit just because they have been burned in the past.
Marriage isn't the only way to avoid growing old alone
In reference to who spends most of the consumer money and why divorced (and ripped off) men almost always do so much better after divorce.

91% of New Homes

93% Food
93 % OTC PharmaceuticalsAmerican women spend about $5 trillion annually…

Your link doesn't credit its sources. Thus, I cannot find that to be reliable.
Don't play forum statistician. It's a forum not a thesis. That reference' numbers are in line with other numbers I have stumbled upon. If you have unreliable sources claiming that men spend 85% of consumer cash, please do share. I will not nitpick.
I'm not a nitpick on references, but that article doesn't provide even numbers. Besides "college educated" is not quite the same as "well-educated and wealthy".
And among the well-educated and wealthy who marry after the age of 26, they’re falling quite dramatically.
