It's one thing to intentionally and specifically go looking abroad for a spouse. I often hear the incel types announced how horrid "American women" are, as if they were a homgenous group, and how they would only couple with foreign women.
People have agency. A salut! It's a quid pro quo that's as old as humanity. Exchanging sex and home making for financial security and material things. I'm sure my own ancestors did the same, can't judge it. I hope people are happy.
But it's a dangerous prospect. I have known people who have married "foreign brides" only to get dread social diseases, have them disappear and ghost them, or more often, to find themselves in a pickle because those women came from cultures where the homemaker and matriarch wasn't a demure little thing, but a queen with a long sword and a whip. You thought American women were bad? HAHAHAHAHAHA
The flip side is that it really is a global world. The internet and travel have made the world small. I met my partner here, through her words. I couldn't help falling for her because of who she was. Life circumstances radically changed and I am able to have a relationship with her. She just happens to be Australian. How awesome is that?
