My mother is from a western European country and my father is from an east Asian country. They met in Paris and raised me in various western European countries. Because of our lifestyle, I met people from all over the world. It's so weird to me that you would ask this question. You could find more in common with a guy from Finland or Algeria or Uruguay, than with a neighbor down the street from you! Assuming you're looking to eventually marry, it's a matter of finding someone with similar values on finances, parenting, faith (or lack of), and if there are any differences, making those work for you, not against you, like my parents did. Differences in language and cuisine should not be barriers at all.

If you're looking for superficial differences, then maybe a non-American, non-Israeli, man, will be more likely to be uncircumcised. A non-American man might not have been trained in a MeToo atmosphere, where any remotely personal comment is seen as sexually predatory. Walking on a street in Paris, or Milan or Valencia, a woman can get propositioned every day.

But I don't think these differences should fool you into thinking American men are *always* more socially progressive and respectful of women, and of their wife's time and efforts. After 10 years of marriage, come back and tell me who does the most household chores, parenting, and mental burden of scheduling the household and social calendar. Maybe it's my Japanese cousin's husband, who lives in a country where women are still expected to quit working to raise kids and look after their husband and the house!

It always comes down to the individual, OP. You can't really judge by continent.
