I'm gonna try to treat this seriously.
I'll probably get flamed from both sides, but oh well.

Most of the men seem to think an Asian bride is going to be the compliant, get my slippers hun, keep the house clean type of bride.
Not so most of the time.
That little Asian honey is going to have you doing your share of the household chores. While it's true it may be the chores that you don't mind doing to begin with you will STILL be doing chores.
If you bring her back to the US to live, she will become Americanized to some degree over the years unless you keep her in strict seclusion in the wilds of Oregon somewhere.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. The same way a little hot sauce in the chili is not a bad thing. As long as it doesn't get overdone it adds a little zing.

Most women seem to think that if a man has to look overseas, other than Europe, for a wife that there must be something wrong with the man.
While this may be true in some cases, it's not necessarily a fact.
A lot of men have been scared off by feminist, man eating (get a grip guys, not that kind), you OWE me types.
They've not had the chance to meet a sweet, wholesome, my mom taught me that couples share, types of American women.
Shoot, I'm a MAN and my Mom taught me that.

Now for it. I married an Asian (South Sea Islander).
I didn't marry her for her money (she didn't have much), I didn't marry her because she was compliant (she took me down with a leg sweep while we were dating, and NOT in play), I married her because I loved her.
We were married in the Philippines while I was in the Navy. If you think there was nothing to it, you should have tried it. We waited two years after I asked her to marry me to be married due to Navy backround checks and paperwork.
We've been married almost 22 years and there has NEVER been a day that she has bowed to my will JUST because I was a man, American or not.
We've shared household chores whether one, or both, were working. We've made decisions...TOGETHER.

Men, don't go looking overseas for the compliant type, you can find those in the states also.

Women, don't go dissing the men because they look overseas for a wife, they may just not be lucky enough to have met you before you were married.

My honey is from Southern Batangas, where is yours from? They survived the latest round of typhoons.
