[quote=Anonymous]  Here's an idea: why don't we let people marry who they want ? If a growing number of white men head to Eastern Europe to find spouses for whatever reasons,  I see no problem with that.  However , this discussion strikes at the core of a facet of men that a lot of white American women are in denial about ; most wealthy could not care less whether a woman is educated or not , that's the reality .

I don't doubt that there are gender stereotypes that motivate many of these men to head east . You could even add Asian women to the discussion . The truth is , for a growing number of white men in this country , white women have become too uppity for them. Most white men in this country only pay lip service to things like gender equality but deep down they don't believe in it  or outright resent it .

Expectations around gender roles in EE are still very high despite claims to the contrary . Russian women have it particularly worse given the dire economic prospects and absurdly high alcoholism rate , to say nothing of the fact that the state literally abandons women to themselves with no means of collecting things like child support as is the case in the United states . A college educated , upwardly mobile white man is therefore a catch in ways that the vast majority of men in that part of the world aren't.  From the outset , it looks like a win-win situation, the American gets an obedient,  dutiful,  and non challenging wife (or so he thinks ) and the eastern European woman gets to flee poverty and its attendant bleak prospects and even start a family of her own .
