Most of these guys were successful businessmen.
I'm married to a Russian lady (and not via an agency). I worked and lived there for 10 years. My wife doesn't even think about her "career" even though she was quite successful and highly educated. Why? She has a family and enjoys being at home as a mother. But don't mistake this as her being in a subservient role. We're both equal in the family, we just prefer more traditional roles...
And I gave up a successful career recently for the same reasons. I also appreciate being able to stay home probably more than most women who have never worked precisely because I did have a career and I know how tough it is in the corporate world. However, prior to meeting my fiance, I met plenty of guys who weren't sure about their careers or wanted to party every nite so I made my career a priority until I met the right guy. I figured that I had to support myself and plan for retirement just in case I didn't meet anyone. Any successful, kind, businessman with a personality and a hint of self-esteem, should have no problem meeting quality women in the USA. I really believe that. If they can't, they haven't looked hard enough, they have a personality flaw or they have average or less than average looks but want supermodels.
