I'm gonna try to treat this seriously.
I'll probably get flamed from both sides, but oh well.

Most of the men seem to think an Asian bride is going to be the compliant, get my slippers hun, keep the house clean type of bride.
Not so most of the time.
That little Asian honey is going to have you doing your share of the household chores. While it's true it may be the chores that you don't mind doing to begin with you will STILL be doing chores.
If you bring her back to the US to live, she will become Americanized to some degree over the years unless you keep her in strict seclusion in the wilds of Oregon somewhere.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. The same way a little hot sauce in the chili is not a bad thing. As long as it doesn't get overdone it adds a little zing.

Most women seem to think that if a man has to look overseas, other than Europe, for a wife that there must be something wrong with the man.
While this may be true in some cases, it's not necessarily a fact.
A lot of men have been scared off by feminist, man eating (get a grip guys, not that kind), you OWE me types.
They've not had the chance to meet a sweet, wholesome, my mom taught me that couples share, types of American women.
Shoot, I'm a MAN and my Mom taught me that.

Now for it. I married an Asian (South Sea Islander).
I didn't marry her for her money (she didn't have much), I didn't marry her because she was compliant (she took me down with a leg sweep while we were dating, and NOT in play), I married her because I loved her.
We were married in the Philippines while I was in the Navy. If you think there was nothing to it, you should have tried it. We waited two years after I asked her to marry me to be married due to Navy backround checks and paperwork.
We've been married almost 22 years and there has NEVER been a day that she has bowed to my will JUST because I was a man, American or not.
We've shared household chores whether one, or both, were working. We've made decisions...TOGETHER.

Men, don't go looking overseas for the compliant type, you can find those in the states also.

Women, don't go dissing the men because they look overseas for a wife, they may just not be lucky enough to have met you before you were married.

Sounds materialistic to me. There's more to life than just social standing.

I have a friend who did that and they both are very happy for many years now. (but she was not from Japan.)

Its not so easy to find an american born woman who wants to be an intelligent housewife.

Another guy telling us lots about the women he hangs with.

I don't hang out with college girls or the audience from Oprah, try again.

Don't forget washing the skid marks out of their underwear and having a hot meal waiting on the table for them when they get home from work.

The classes that US Navy personnel go through after being assigned to Japan not only include driver's license training (and that is a whole 'nother subject I'm not going into here. Ugh.) but also etiquette that includes subtle warnings about not dating a Japanese woman without understanding that "once is forever" in that woman's mind. She will see that Military person as her ticket to America, a large kitchen, an American bathroom, and a YARD for her children to play in, and TWO cars in the garage. You have no idea of the ticket to freedom that an American means to a Japanese woman, even a professional.

The Madame Butterfly syndrome. LOL.

But in any event, they're not to my taste.

Many of the women who make up 57% of current college enrollment are either going to have to change their expectations about marrrying up educationally and economically, or they will be spinsters as American men take more reasonable options.

Yeah, dang college educated women. Disgusting! They should go back to the kitchen where they belong...

You are the kind of woman I married 16 years ago, and am still married to.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

I have zero time for people who can't or won't stand up for themselves as human beings.

Because (IN GENERAL), American men treat women FAR better then other men (Japanese, Russian, Islamic) treat them. Of course there are exceptions.

That's all I'm saying, but some don't want to hear it.

Try again, it's not just Asian women. It's common in Russia and Eastern Europe for women there to also desire American men.

Can you say "Green Card", I knew you could.

That is the only thing losers who have to look overseas for a woman have to offer, and it is all the women over there are interested in.

Sigh... yes... because all American women are evil and Asian women are inherently loving, giving, and submissive.

Well, my Asian wife (South Korean) is anything but submissive. LOL!

American women on the whole have never been as ungrateful and as hard to please as they are right now, and the problem is likely to get much worse.
____________

You weren't just talking about college girls and Oprah audiences, you were very specific with your "American women on the whole".

You try again.

(It's never because they want a green card, is it?)

I wonder what's Michelle Malkin's opinion on that! hehe
