That site actually makes a lot sense, at least from my own experience living overseas while in high school versus coming back to my homeland for college. A lot of international male students at my college feel exactly the same way about American women and stay away from them with a 10 foot pole and instead exclusivly date international female students.

I'm pretty happy with the woman I married. Then again from the way MichealD talks about his previous marriage I can see why people can be unhappy.
The thing is, what this guy is describing can just as easily happen with a foreign wife.
Anyways I'll stick with my American wife for life.

Yeah, Russian women look hot when they are young. But the divorce rate in Russia is nothing to brag about either. And some of them are just as spoiled as Americans if not more. I guess you gotta know where to look. My guess is the ones looking to marry americans are either gold diggers or fed up with perenially drinking Russian men.
Sigh. Men are so gullible. For price, these companies will set you up with the perfect woman, the woman you truly deserve! You will have the perfect relationship forever, just the way you want it, and the world will revolve around you.
The truth is, relationships are what you make of them. Be what it is that you want in a relationship. You want someone who cares about her health, is kind, and caring? Be that person yourself. You want someone who isn't superficial and materialistic? Don't be superficial and materialistic yourself. You want someone with similar values to yours? Sit down and think about what your values really ARE... you may find that it isn't what you say they are, they are more of what is reflected in the fruit of your life and the people you hang out with.
Dysfunctional, disappointing relationships are most often reflections of our own dysfunctions. But I guess it is infinitely easier (and much more fun) to blame everything on someone else. 😛

i worked in a sales office for several months and it was mostly average looking single women in mid to late 20s. Most of them were bitching and moaning how guys don't want to get married any more. Their view was that today women don't know how to do basic stuff anymore like cook/clean/take care of stuff and guys know how to do everything now, so there's no incentive for them to have a long term commitment. At anyrate, I don't have too much sympathy for them.

I see you are blaming the men for their dysfunctional wives.
I am kind, caring and not materialistic, yet most of the women around here are the exact opposite. It is not easy finding a woman that isn't all about herself.
I will admit I did meet 2 very nice women in the last few weeks. I am still deciding which one to date.
No, IronWoode...
We all tend to have relationship schemas that we are either conscious or unconscious of. The more we are aware of our expectations (are they realistic and fair?) and our relationship patterns, the more we can take charge of having healthy, happy relationships.
I'm saying be proactive and self-reflective in your relationships. That goes for men and women. I should know, I've been on the receiving end of bad relationships, and I had to wake up and say, "Hmmmm! Maybe there is something I can do to stop engaging in dysfunction!" I think that goes for EVERYONE who struggles with relationships. We can't change other people and there is no perfect match... we can only change ourselves and be our best.
Strange you didn't get my point. 😕

Well, it was hard to see the point with all the psycho-babble. 😉
The solution is easy. Choose your partners more carefully. There is no need to blame. Take responsibility for the choices you make. If you continously make bad relationship choices then you definitely have an issue that needs attention.
Otherwise, be more selective. We all make bad choices, but learning from mistakes helps. Also understand that sometimes 2 people just weren't meant to be together. This may lead to dissapointment and broken hearts and egos, but accepting this will mean you have a better chance at finding someone who is right for you and right for them.
Who knows what will happen to me when I decide to date one of the 2 women I have met? Maybe nothing, or maybe a life long commitment.
Never stop trying.

Geez.............some of you sound quite bitter about American women, as if each and every one of you had been married and divorced before, which I seriously doubt.
As for me, guess I'm just lucky. My wife has NEVER demanded a single thing, has always supported anything I've wanted to do, including starting a small business, helping finance it, etc., tec.
And as far as a man starting a small business and growing it over time, only to get divorced and the wife getting half, you make it sound as if the wife contributes NOTHING towards the home, business, or anything else. Sorry to burst your bubbles, but when someone starts a small business, EVERYONE contributes to its startup.....usually through sweat equity. The wife definitely contributes.......most keep the books, coordinate behind the scenes for the business, and much, much more. To think that the wife just glides algon without lifting a finger during a business's startup is so naive it's almost laughable.

I was watching 20/20 or dateline once about mail order brides........... that is some scary sh!t........... something bad always happens. The guy is a total neaderthal or inept with women and does not treat his bride right and she leaves........... or they are abusive and the wife leaves.......... or the brides are scamming (ie. kill the husband). I even heard of a case where the husband killed his mail order wife to get a new mail order bride
It seemed like a lot of real desparados (40's 50's), where using these services.

There are exeptions, but that site has a lot of truth to it under the bitterness. I've been dating a Danish woman on/off for a while now and she's definitely a refreshing change. She insists on paying half way when we're out. She insists on working and holding her own in life. She's a former model that seems to get geniunely uncomfortable if someone makes a big deal of her looks. She says 'sorry' after "being bi tchy" <--- her own words. She doesn't go out drinking and sleeping around. Dating her opened my eyes to just how crappy most American women are.
My uncle who is a CPA with his own practice got taken for a ride by his ex wife. She is a PhD and makes 100K a year at J&J!
I'll be sure to have the prenup ready when I get married. I won't worry about it being thrown out later because there are steps you take before you get married. like
1. have the papers signed atleast 6 months before you get married so she can't say she was pressured into doing it.
2. Make sure she has a good lawyer from a different firm to look over the paperwork and explain it to her so she can't say she didn't know what she was doing.
3. Don't put stupid crap in the paperwork like you can divorce if she doesn't give you a male child, because that will get thrown out.
That is all I know so far. The lawyer will tell you everything else you need to know.
