Why do people even try and go down this path? I just started O.L.D. and won't consider someone if they are more than an hour's drive away. What's the point?
Even if you meet in Asia and everything happens to be real and wonderful, then what?
Who told you they want anything to do with an American man? Most want a Russian man.
No one "told me" anything. It's self-evident that many...specifically, those who are not frauds, advertising on the non-scam sites...do in-fact want to meet Westerners for romance and marriage. Else they'd not be there. Speaking in-person to many, here (U.S.) and elsewhere, the vast majority would prefer men in their own country. That's the "want" part. However, supply and demand aren't working terribly well these days in places where more than a few of the "eligible" men are drunk, no-good bums who statistically seem to be dying ever-younger.
Single American men are simply leveraging an arbitrage: women out of their league here are well-within it there. Takes time, effort, and thoughtfulness to make it happen, however.

That is a small minority out of the general population. Not only are women on western oriented OLD sites a small minority, they are a self selected population group. Now there is a shortage of men in Russia, but that doesn't happen until much later in life, but the same occurs in the USA albeit not as quickly.
For the vast majority of Russian women interest in an American man is not even a fleeting thought. Europe? Sure, it's closer and the culture is similar, but America? No.

You are absolutely right. Foreign relationships rarely work.
