Considering the attitudes of many American women an Asian wife may be preferable.

I'm not touching this one.

I wish the article told us if the women wanted to bring their husbands to Japan or whether they moved to the U.S. or Europe.
To: MississippiMasterpiece
Sounds like a driver of social change to me. When your women are losing interest in the clan and start hitching up with outsiders, things will change.

A generation of women who are now entering their 30s don't want to give up single life unless prospective partners are willing to break from traditional gender roles. Sounds like they have been Americanized already.

Maybe, but that's a huge cultural gap to overcome. ;)

I worked with some Japanese Students during the Summer quite a few years ago.
One of the guys once told me that A Japanese man wants a Japanese wife, a Chinese cook, and an American bathroom.

And we try to tell out American wives this and they don't believe you.

Hmmm. Instead of them looking for husbands, they should focus on single men. Heh heh.

I lived there for 9 mos. in 2002-3. To meet more Japanese I joined a badminton group that had several foreign members. Some people just liked to meet and socialize with foreigners, but I was surprised how frank many women were about wanting to marry a Westerner. (I was already married so I probably was able to get a more honest take.)
To: RosieCotton
Sigh... yes... because all American women are evil and Asian women are inherently loving, giving, and submissive. (It's never because they want a green card, is it?)

Considering the attitudes of many American women an Asian wife may be preferable.I wonder if Willie Green would want to put a tariff on an Asian bride.
To: Semper Paratus
If it's bad form to be asked (and to HAVE to be asked!) to help care for the children you helped bring into the world and the house you help pay for, then I suppose you would find a traditional Asian wife more accommodating.

Interesting ... A new mail-order-bride market opening up.
I'm working on my future Ukrainian bride.

My husband and I are conservative. We have a pretty "traditional" marriage in that I'm a stay-at-home mom and he works full time to support us. Most household chores are divided along the typical gender roles. OTOH, my husband has never and would never treat me like the "maid" or in a subservient manner of any kind. I can sympathize with women anywhere who reject that kind of behavior. If they think they can find respect from a man outside their own country, more power to them.
