[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] I wouldn’t call these young pretty women who seek exit from that reality “mail order” brides. They are indeed in most cases fluent in English, have in-demand college degrees (on top of being very attractive). It’s basically “brain drain” out of these countries, it’s just women have more choices vs men how  to flee and get access to new economic opportunities. I know several from my exH circle in DC area: he worked for WB/IFC. His US friends married exceptionally attractive women from Eastern Europe. All the wives quickly adopted and work. I’m some cases, out-earned husbands in 10 years or so.
Yes, these women were poor in terms of assets when they got married, but they had very expensive (by US standards) education. IT, engineering, doctors, lawyers, biotech etc. Once they confirm  these degrees in the US, it’s the same deal for a husband as marrying a Yale graduate. Except he gets a very good looking wife with parents abroad without any “luggage” and of child bearing age. This is a major “step up” for upper middle class American husbands vs their selection in the US. They basically marry up to a higher social class from a poorer country vs their own social circle in the US. Many women I know are well traveled, play expensive sports like tennis, swimming, skiing,  horse riding, play  musical instruments etc. This type of upbringing is very cheap in Russia but expensive and only available to a few in the US. They can socialize with executive level friends or colleagues of their husbands rising his social standing and international connections. [/quote]

If this were true then why haven't we seen an influx of young, handsome EE men who American women are marrying? Same can be said right? I know American women who would love to have a man with all the qualities you describe, so where are they?

Could it be that perhaps these degrees and pedigrees are nothing but a bunch of marketing B.S.?  If not then what is good for the goose should be good for the gander right - so where are all these highly desirable eligible EE men who want American wives?[/quote]

I am an American citizen (woman, immigrated from EE as a teenager, US educated) who married an EE man, mail order groom, if you will, although we did not meet on a dating site.  My American girlfriends were shocked.   Most professionally established American women will not marry a man who earns less than them or doesn't come with 100% guarantee of eventually becoming a high earner.   [/quote]
