[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are from a Middle Eastern culture and I think there is so much pressure on women in that culture to conform to the following standard:

- educated with a high paying career
- keep up their looks, don’t get fat, dress pretty and wear makeup and have long glossy black hair
- maintain an attractive, clean home and know how to cook, or you will look bad
- religious (but you still have to look sexy) and raising children to behave appropriately and follow cultural expectations

[b]The men have the following expectations:
- have a job[/b]

I think American men may find this nightmare sort of awesome.[/quote]

Uh, no.  In patriarchal cultures, men have to be rich to have social value.  (Actually, this is true in all cultures to varying degrees.)[/quote]

She meant having a job is the only expectation for men while women have to be perfect in almost every way.

So an American man with a decent job who is even remotely helpful in other ways is a step up from their own men. This is true about a lot of foreign cultures as you can see from this thread.

So while American men could be better, they are better than most. So it makes sense for them to look abroad for women who will compare them to their local men.
