Why is the woman the one that has to relocate? ( Archived) (68)

Nidifugous: That's old school. Men provided and women moved. Today, it's a compromise. Usually people move to the place where the partner with the higher income/lifestyle lives.

Re poor countries. Heck, those can be great places with low cost of living. The only difficulty is that there are often drawbacks in terms of access to quality medical care and pharma (I speak from experience). Another issue is residency/visa requirements which means that you may have to marry.

If all that stuff is too much trouble, then one is definitely better off dating locally as mentioned in an earlier post.


yes I would say that much of this makes mewow amazed...laugh I mean, people on this thread make it sound like it's all normal to be spending thousands and needing a passport...I know of NO ONE who does any of these thingsdunno (IRL)

xxDandelionxx: To be fair, its not always the man. My last partner re-located to be with me. Okay, he didn't need a passport, but I'm sure it was a real wrench to move away from family, friends, to an area you don't know.

Sadly, it didn't work out but there's still a lot to be said for being an opportunist!
I think I maybe in a unique situation. I have a British passport and an Australian passport. I also have an expired South African passport. That means there are many countries I could choose to live in.
I have been in Australia now for 12 years and have always lived in the outback. About 12 months ago I met a lady on CS who lives in NSW about 3000 km from where I live. We have met face to face a number of times and are in love. Question on both our minds is where in Australia. I recently drove to visit her about 6000 km round trip 7 days driving.

funke3: Unfortunately most women who moved from places like China/ Asia or other parts of the world aren't doing it because of their love for their men.They move for better life and comfort for themselves.
Women in Europe or other developing countries don't necessarily have to move because their husbands earn more wages.They are self sufficient and in most cases earn more than their male partner.
Frankly speaking your situation with your Chinese wife is not a good example on this topic.
However,this is Forum,and anyone who thinks they know better can give their own opinions on any subjects.And who knows,some certain persons may see the logic to their comparisons!


Well, I know of many English women, American women, Western European women who marry for the love of lifestyle and wealth as well. One can see old men with these beautiful young women hanging off of them in most countries.

Such a stereotype idea as you also present here does actually happen, but there are many who are genuine.

For example, my Chinese wife is completely financially self sufficient. She actually owns a luxury apartment near the city centre in the capital of the Fujian Province where she lived. She has an extensive share portfolio, etc.

She married out of love. In fact, she is in China now because her mum suffered sever health problems and is in hospital, but she now wants to come back after missing our wedding anniversary, Valentine's day. She is determined to not miss my birthday.

I'm sorry that your opinion, although valid for some, is not accurate in this example, and in many other examples that I know of.

These women marry foreigners because they want to be loved, and believe it or not, just speaking kindly to some of them is enough for them to feel loved. Such is their culture and experience. This is the sad reality, and for some men (like myself who have been mistreated by women in my own society, even abused) an Asian woman actually loves us for who we are, without great expectations on us. They actually accept men for who they are.

One has to understand about the differences in culture before one can understand the reasons for the choices that some make.

It is easy to stereotype and to draw ill informed conclusions based of a few media reports and statistics.

Yes some actually do move for a better life. And really many in western cultures do the same for the same reason.

Ah, you know, it depends on the person's circumstances, attitude and priorities. This is an int'l forum, so you have more people who prefer the vacation to the riding lawnmower laugh I see nothing wrong with looking across borders, but it's not so simple unless one is looking to be married. dunno

Men & Women at a certain age do not want to relocate anymore. U r set in ur ways even at an early age.

I guess men reaches that stage faster than women.
