True. Of all the good women I know here in the US, pretty much all the best ones are taken already. Of the ones that are left, at least past their twenties that is, it's a given that a bit of some baggage comes along with them. Some much moreso than others, mind. The ones from non-US locations tend to have much less, and are therefore the more interesting to one such as I, to be sure.

The key thing is to get to know their family. If virtually all of their relatives get married once and stay married your chances of a good marriage increase by an order of magnitude. If not, then you have a lot of angry relatives (and friends) telling your wife to dump you, the first time you complain about the extra pair of shoes she bought.
