It's all about outward appearances to you?
How successful are you at dating?
I wonder.
I've never seen an older guy putting on some weight.
I've never seen a man get a boner for a woman's diploma. Of course appearance is important, its very important. If a man desires an inshape, feminine, nonentitled woman, why would he settle for a woman in a country like the U.S. where that population is dwindling?
Divorce rates in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland are at least as high as in the U.S. I don't think they have the answer to happy relationships either. Besides, the thread is about "offshore" marriage, and Scandinavia doesn't export a lot of brides to the States. The women who are eager to marry virtual strangers and move here are typically poor, without much opportunity back home.
Moreover, women in Scandinavia are very liberated - not at all the "traditional gender role" fans the OP is talking about. The people he wants to cater to would view the Scandinavian countries as the Great Satan.

Well, my point wasn't specifically pertaining to relationships actually. I was making a more general point about how the wider culture affects them. Divorce statistics are misleading anyway and don't paint much of a picture. My point was more of a general one, as another poster asked me what culture I feel is the all-round most suitable (in not so many words).
One thing about divorce is that it can be higher in more agnostic/atheist countries, as there is less pressure to remain in a marriage that isn't working out and attitudes to marriage may be different + you get more same sex marriage in other countries, where it has been legal for quite some time.

well he shouldn't. he should get on the next plane out. as quickly as possible.
Well. I am 35, never married, no kids and I know that I would never marry an American woman. The main problem that I see with American women generally speaking is their mentality. This weird obsession with marriage which I never understood. Very superficial, limited intellectually and often unstable emotionally.
I have never met an American women who was attractive and intellectual, usually the ones who are attractive are borderline retarded like "OMG, Did you hear about Paris Hilton?" types or the ones who are intellectual are like unattractive weirdos with no social skills and very awkward socially.
In between these two extremes, you have mostly sub-par, below average looking, often overweight Feminazis who are looking for a lap dog, not a man.
Also, this country has the highest incident of mental issues in the world, so I am definitely not settling for some unstable nutcase.
I have traveled a lot around the world and in just about any country out there, you can find women who are intelligent, beautiful and definitely not overweight.
Guys who settle for a sub-par American wife do so simply because they don't know any better, literally there are BILLIONS of women out there who are beautiful, intelligent and not overweight.
Most of the guys like myself who have their crap together, single by choice, and know they are not marrying an American woman would not need your services though because we can find women on our own.
I am afraid your business model would appeal more to the unattractive, "loser", desperate types who go overseas to find a woman, simply because they have no game and could not find any woman locally.

now tell us about the subpar men in this country -- or are you all 'gems waiting to be discovered?' It's funny how American men put themselves on a pedestal -- they must not know what the rest of the world thinks of them either. LOL.

This is more reflective of your environment and probably social class than representative of the whole country.
There were plenty of gorgeous women in my med school class...and at my brother's law school graduation...

Agreed. Well, not conclusively about Scandinavian countries' being best--We are Swedish and therefore biased.

I don't think they're best. There's no such thing as best, but if I could choose where to live, it would be Denmark or Sweden hands down. Before I met my ex-wife and moved to the US, that had always been my plan. Those countries just suit me personally a lot better than here, though they would not be everyone's cup of tea.
