Yes I heard all about those sincere algerians and morrocans being super attracted to old western women. Their marriages always tend to last a long time don't they?

They're nowhere near as in demand as American men though. I don't know any woman that's married a guy from another country but it's very common for men.

A lot of American women generally only want to marry up, and within their own race, so it's not like some poor Russian dude is a hot number for them. Otherwise, you would see it way more often.

HYPERGAMY!

Actually, I saw it quite a bit of Am.women/Slavic male marriages among students of E European languages who went on study-abroad programs in Russia. It became more frequent after 1990. A lot of women give no thought to "marrying up". It simply doesn't occur to them, especially in their 20's.

Hypergamy is totally rational behavior. "In their 20's" if you mean 20, sure. 29? The economic prospects of a potential spouse start mattering more.

That's how all the cool Europeans dress...thinking they look like ubercool Americans. I've found that most Europeans haven't progressed past dance/disco - always a good 30 years behind. But the OP is into "the King" so I'm not sure what that means.

While I think you are right that American men are more in demand (just going by the whole mail order bride business anyway), American women are too. I think the main reason you (personally) don't see them is because you live in the US. I don't know a single woman who married a foreign man that didn't move to that man's country. I have a friend who married a Canadian man and moved to Canada, a friend who married a British man and moved to Scotland and on the flip side, I have a male friend who married an Australian woman and they stayed here and an uncle who married a Japanese woman and stayed here.

If I had to guess at a reason women move to the husband's country it would be the combination of child care and jobs. Usually woman take off for maternity leave and the man works while this happens so the family has an income. So it makes financial sense for a family to be in a place where the father's career will be most stable. It would really stink and put a young family in dire straights if a man couldn't get work as a foreigner the same time his wife is out of work on bed rest or recovering from a C section... or later on when someone has to be out of work to take care of the baby until it's old enough to go to daycare (if at all).
