That's a terribly simplistic view. People have a habit of masking their flaws in order to gain trust, only to change radically once the commitment has been made. This fact has overwhelmed even the most principled of people who once thought as you do now.Of course I would, if I was ever in that situation. Now I would never marry a liberal woman, those are the ones that are not committed to a lifelong relationship. Every single conservative couple I've known has been married "until death do you part". I think if you get a divorce at all, you're doing it wrong.

If given the chance to re-marry would you marry (another) American woman?
Increasingly the answer is "no".
Men are increasingly disrespected by American women. They face extreme economic and social disadvantages in family law that makes it possible for a wife to divorce them and take most of what they have including their children for any reason or no reason. They are constantly told that they are worthless and stupid. Disrespect for men has become standard practice. Men are disrespected by their wives – they’re disrespected publicly, they’re disrespected privately, they’re disrespected and then told that they have no right to be upset about it because they aren’t worthy of respect in the first place.
Disrespect of men is a joke to Americans now.
The result has been that men are increasingly dropping out of society. They don't marry, they don't go to college because they see no reason to break their humps to get ready to provide for a family -- they aren't going to be having a family.
Lots has been written about this phenomena, most of it in the strain of "why is it that men are so childish now." But men are not dropping out because of arrested development. They are acting rationally in response to myriad laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century.

I can certainly see the appeal of marrying a woman from a more "traditional" foreign culture. From what I've seen, they're more feminine than their American counter-parts, more stable, and more willing to put in the work necessary to make a relationship work.
That's only when people rush to the altar and don't take the time to get to know their prospective mate.
People change dude. Some for the better, some markedly worse. There are scores of couples out there with 20 years together only to have one of the spouses have multiple affairs, become verbally or physically abusive etc. etc. You're once again dumbing down what can be a very complex situation, no matter the time spent together before marriage.If you haven't known them for at least 5 years, you're doing it too fast.
Interestingly, some of the women friends of mine that are most suited to being happy in a marriage, tend to be from Europe and Africa. Of the American conservative gf's I have, probably about 3/4 of them seem to be satisfied in their long term relationships, and of the liberal ones, I'd guess closer to half. For whatever reason, it's doesn't seem that men are so scorned in other parts of the world- even those in which women have equal rights and are independent-minded.
Lizzie I never knew that she favored women...almost blew me away..........I still like you a lot though.
Think she means girlfriend in the friend sense.Lizzie I never knew that she favored women...almost blew me away..........I still like you a lot though.
Haven't made up my mind. Either Asian or Russian/FSU. Decisions, decisions.
Years ago, when I was in the Army overseas, I think the one thing that kept most of those guys going was the thought of getting home to American girls. They were the best in the world. Guys spent all their time thinking about them, talking about them, looking at pictures of them and dreaming about them at night.
It is a terrible thing that dream may now be gone for young American men. Hurt even worse are those traditional American girls that do want a home, a husband and a traditional family. The feminist movement has betrayed them worst of all.
Yeah, there is not widespread "disrespect towards men" in this country. The premise is just ridiculous.
