DP.. and therein lies the rub.

These women are educated, smart, but they have limited opportunities in those countries.  I don't blame them for marrying rich old guys.

Culturally, though, EE women are still more conservative and hold more traditional values compared to the US.  Maybe that's part of their appeal to those men.[/quote]

This is just silly.

An [b]overwhelming majority of educated women in Russia will marry similarly situated Russian men[/b].  Urban centers in Russia have plenty of opportunity for the educated women.

EE women are not at all "more conservative" and certainly not in the way conservatism is interpreted in the US.  I'll speak of Russia/FSU space since I know it best. [u] The only "traditional values" FSU women embrace are that men should make more money and pay for more stuff, and for what they will be expected to do less at home.[/u]  Otherwise:

- we embrace premarital sex and start early
 - we cohabitate without marriage readily
 - we are not especially religious
 - we have abortions without much trepidation
 - we have one or two children, and rarely more
 - we culturally show more skin than American women

I've lived in the US for over twenty years and have observed every conceivable configuration of the FSU woman/American man pairing.  One bit of advice I always share with whoever asks is that Russian (or really, any other FSU space) women who are overly critical of "Russian men" are not good candidates and should be rejected outright.  No one dumping on their family - fathers, brothers, sons - is worth a second look.

Of course.  Bolded is  true for every country.

And you have to be kidding.

Americans embrace premarital sex.
Americans cohabitate at a high rate, too
Americans are only "religious" in name. They actually don't practice it, and church attendance is dying out.  But I wasn't referring to religious conservatism.
American white women birth rate is 1.8; Black 2.1, Hispanic 2.4, Asian 1.8
Showing more skin .. could be why American men like it, but that's not the "culture" I meant.

The culture I meant was about the male/female dymanic, which you even stated is more traditional in Russia.  Most men, especially the rich, want a "traditional" relationship where the women take care of the home, and the men work and bring home the bacon.  The men don't want to take care of children, the home, etc..  That's a woman's role, which again, you admit to.

American women who have options don't generally hold onto traditional gender roles.  I mean.. who would want to work and take care of the kids/house and the man?  That's a lot of work and stress. Rich men don't have to do any of that, nor do they really want to.  Hence, they seek out women who want those traditional roles, ie, not highly educate American women.[/quote]
