[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 .   [/quote]

The reality is that most wealthy and UMC men opt for a woman from similar circles and background.  They may not care about comparable levels of ambition but they very much care about similar levels of education.  Peruse the NYT engagement announcement pages for proof.

[quote=Anonymous]           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 .

Russia's alcohol consumption rate is below Portugal, Ireland and Luxembourg yet I don't see you shedding tears for the poor womenfolk of Lisbon or Cork County.

Russia's method of child support collection is the same as the U.S.: with the court order, wages are garnished at the source.

Most college educated, upwardly mobile EE women marry a college educated, upwardly mobile EE men..[/quote]

You need to lose that chip thats so deeply embedded in your shoulder . How many Portuguese, Irish, Luxembourg citizens immigrate or aspire to immigrate to Russia for better opportunities???? How many Russian citizens have access to the quality Healthcare that citizens from the countries  you mentioned have? Is there a Mail order bride industry in those countries? Also, American men aren't explicitly on the look out for college educated EE women as much as they're on the look out for women they deem pretty—both aren't mutually exclusive .

Furthermore,  I stand by my statement which is verifiable that child support collection payments in Russia is virtually non existent . The Russian economy is a gigantic factory of Unemployment. [/quote]
