[quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of people who have married non-Americans. There are always a lot of reasons. Sometimes it's that they were not able to date successfully in the US for whatever reason. Maybe they were shy in high school and were able to come out of their shell on a study abroad thing in college. Maybe their approach is better suited to another culture's matchmaking style or expectations. If a man wanted a wife whose role was to tend to the home and have the babies, it might make sense to look for that kind of partner in an area where that's common. Maybe that's the rural Midwestern town where I grew up, or maybe it's a non-American culture where that's the norm. Either way, that guy should probably not be looking for a compatible wife in a place like DC where the expectation is that women have a career as well.

I also know people who have been fairly creepy about it. A friend of my brother's only dates Japanese women. Japanese-American is a no-go. From what I've observed, he strongly prefers if they speak no English at all. I find it completely gross. I myself had a number of non-American partners both when I lived abroad and when I lived in the US. My reasons are that in general, I love people and culture and travel and am geographically pansexual, as it were. But I'm also a woman, so this isn't about me.[/quote]
