The two men I know who had to resort to importing brides from Vietnam are somewhat...unattractive. Both were reasonably intelligent, but had the personalities of cheese-graters, and the looks to match. Neither one of them could understand why the women they were attracted to didn't like them back, and never once entertained the possibility that it had something to do with them, and not the women who were rejecting them.
However, as you said, they are now both perfectly happy with their Vietnamese brides who cater to their every whim. *shrug* I guess if you have to go shopping to find someone who won't reject you, that's just what you have to do.
Two guys and you stereotype the rest of the men who do it? Typical. FWIW, the friends of mine who have married asian women didn't import them. They went looking in asia and found what they were looking for...unlike their American wives, these women weren't ball-busting gold diggers. The men are successful businessmen and professionals who simply got tired of being an unappreciated meal ticket.
Honestly while your observations are probably the bulk of the mail order bride clientelle... I gotta tell you I, as a man, can't blame anyone for wanting a foreign bride, or at the very least a first or second generation immigrant as a bride.... Their minds haven't been turned to mush by feminist dogma... they understand that men are men.. and that we are rather base creatures... and have absolutely no problem being a wife and mother and aspire to be the best they can be at that role.
Why would anyone want to be someone who is going to offer less than their best at the single most important role a person has in their life? That being a parent... Lord knows I sure wouldn't want my children to be short changed because the woman I married thinks her career and a brand new SUV is more important than our children.
Its one thing to have to work, its another to "choose" to... and I wouldn't want to be with any woman who didn't know the difference or that did and still chose to. If she's the breadwinner, fine, I'll stay home, but this dual income just because you are unwilling shrink your lifestyle... no thanks.
