I've known five men who went to foreign countries to find a wife. All of them except one has had a very happy marriage. That particular one guy was kind of different to begin with and I felt sorry for his wife. All of the other women have been good looking and have seemed to be happy. My friend in his forties that married a woman from Russia said there is a tremendous difference in the attitude of foreign wives, compared to wives that live in the US. He said his wife is happy to be here and does not look at the things she does as her job, she is grateful to her husband that he married her and brought her to the United States where, life for her is easier. I don't see anything wrong with a man doing this, I think you would be more assured of having a happy wife as long as you treated her well and didn't expect her to be your slave. I would pick a Spanish country or Russia, however, and never the Philippines, Japan, Thailand or other oriental country.
Are they in love? Or is this just a very lengthy business/sexual transaction? I am always astonished at men who describe these wonderful arrangements and never once mention the emotional component--basically the fundamental, solid core of a marriage.
Are we talking guys who just happen to fall for girls from other countries our guys who actively go out hunting for wives in other countries?
Because I think men who run off to Russia, Ukraine, Thailand, The Philippines (etc) to be probably creepy, awkward, obsessive, misogynistic, controling, and potential abusers. No apologies on the last part. I feel that if you really wanted to be married, you could easily find someone in your home country. The fact that some of these men run to second and third world countries to find brides speaks volumes of themselves and how they *truly* think of women (They should be submissive, docile, and cater to me and Western women just don't know how to take care of a man anymore!!)
I personally wouldn't do it, but I have no problem with anyone else who does it because I'm not a hater. I think it's stupid though because if you bring her over to America she's going to get "Americanized" and will be just like the women you want nothing to do with over here
See? Can't stand the idea of not being able to control what a man does.
We don't care what they do, it's more of the 'why' that I think we're discussing.
Oddly, many men look for a foreign bride so they can control her. They don't want an equal partnership, they want a subservient housewife and that's fine. There are some men out there that simply can't handle a woman they can't completely control.
You find a lot of narcissistic men doing this as well. Not all but many are. Thy are just as most of the above posters described as well. I think you all are spot on.
