What's the story with American Women?

[Alex+R 0]

Why are so many men like ourselves seeking wives overseas? What has changed in American women that sucessful, intelligent (albeit not-so-handsome as Mel Gibson) men such as oursleves choose to go overseas to find a decent companion??

I'd be curious to discover the motivations my fellow man has for going overseas to find a spouse.

As far as I can tell, the motivation for people like you to go abroad to find women is the requirement that you meet your spouse within the two years prior to filing the K1.

In the old days, I think people like you just ordered them from a catalog.

There's as many answers as there are men. And most of the answers don't presume there's something wrong with American women.

Some men find wives overseas because they happen to meet women overseas and fall in love. Some men go hunting because the modern American dating scene is difficult to negotiate (and I say this with no judgment -- it can apply as much to a Yahoo chat room as to an Everquest couple as to a traditional marriage match as to a marriage broker match.)

Some go hunting because they believe that the fact that they can't get a date is because American women have all been corrupted by TEH EV0L FEMINISM! and aren't submissive and HILLARY IS THE REASON they can't get dates and they're not getting it like they're ENTITLED TO BY THE POWER OF BEING A MAN. But the foreign women (who are never, for these men, individuals, just a class) are submissive lotus flowers! they dress up! they can be controlled! and they're all alike! and interchangeable!

I figure that those in the last group are pretty rare. Because, really, the U.S. is a crazy big country, and frankly, if of the 50 million eligible women in the U.S. you can't find a single one that isn't CORRUPTED!, here's a hint, chances are the problem isn't with the American women. Mirror time.

Is that your opinion or you're just talking about those men's opinion?

Some men's opinions, obviously not mine (being an American woman who is sensible), hence the 'they believe'. Just tried to parody all the possible responses in one sentence.

My american wife came to Europe looking for a sensitive and cultured european male, instead she wound up with a crazy dutch guy who wore an orange boiler suit during the world cup -- i hope she wasn't too disappointed.

An Imperialist American conspiracy to spread our seed across the globe.

I'll admit to being in a good mood and giddy, but all I can think of is sperm with little American flag speedos.

To clarify for some members here with a story like mine, I did not "seek" out a foreign SO.

I just happened to be working overseas, met the best person on the planet; and the rest is history.

Of course, your SO is the best person on the planet. Freedom of choice is great!!

Got it! I thought that was what you meant... but I just wanted to make sure!

I read it to Hubs, he said:

"Simple, plain ol' fashion romance, fell in love & got married."

ABSOFREAKINLUTELY!!! I was completely taken by storm by the chain of events leading up to the realization that I have now found "The One!" This is my destiny... She just happens to be an "Alien!"

- Why are USCs "Foreign Nationals" to other nations and people from other nations are "Aliens" to the US?

To answer your question...I guess some men have to widen their horizons.....

That site is great. It sounds like the bitterest rantings of the bitterest minds ever conceived, and didn't mention ttheir Team America sperm once!
