There's huge overseas traffic/interest in marrying ANYONE American.. Plenty of foreign men use American women as their ticket to America, just like plenty of foreign women use American men as their ticket to get here.
Honey, Al Qaida marrying a fat leftist doesn't count....
There's another article on Free Republic right now entitled "Career Women can't get dates". I think on some primordial level these issues are connected. Let's be honest, your average American divorced guy, about 50, good job but not wealthy enough to attract a 20-something American woman, or even 30, he's been through hell from his ex-wife, women at his own level are looking for someone "better", hey, is he going to turn down a subserviant, beautiful, foreign lady who thinks being VP of a bank or manager of a stereo store is the pinnacle of success? Or the geeky software engineer who has a ketchup stain on his shirt? No American woman would date him, but the foreign girl knows she can support her entire family in a foreign land with a portion of his 80k salary.
A friend of mind is American of Asian descent, in technology field. Smart, but no American would date him because (1) he is 5'5" tall, and (2) he's a diehard republican. He got a mail-order Asian lady from somewhere in China. Do you know what this woman says she loves about America? RUNNING WATER! We have no idea the absolute triumph this is for these girls.
It's too bad, however, for any American woman over 40, you're pretty much destined to loneliness unless you sleep around. Or "marry down." This is just a primitive fact of human nature. Men want young and gorgeous and obedient. Women want strong, tall and reliable of a higher social status. If women are creating their own status, men do not impress them so much.
Really? I thought they were seeking us out for our lovely personalities.
