My grandmother plowed the fields and worked the fields right next to my grandfather. If a man had said that to her (truth) she would have picked him up and put him over her shoulder and dropped him in the hog pen.
True story! She was working hard and a city dude stopped asking for her to get him some help getting his car from the mud. She was to busy to be bothered so she picks up the back of the car and sets it over about three feet. Then she tells him to "Now get the hell out of here cause I have work to do." (The car was an old model t type car.)

Surely it's not what is or indeed who is foreign it is merely how you get on ; meaning .... Love & respect your woman and in turn she will do likewise. In this day and age society accepts equality and long may that be so !
Friksmal: Some men are keen on the 50/50 thing The woman do everything the first 50 years of the marriage and the man do everything the second 50 years
diogenes: No, no, no, I saw this on Oprah years ago....Many American men deliberately seek out brides from other nations where culturally the role of women is more suited to the ideals of these men. Personally, I think it's a cop out. I can't deal with free thinking independent women, so let me go buy an old fashioned subserviant wife from Indonesia or something.
They are only subservient until they get to America--there was a story in Seattle, this guy went to Russia to meet and marry a much younger women. After living in the State a couple of years, she became as independent as any American woman--so he killed her. What a sweetie.
libofosho: i just have to know what people out there think of this.
Well it's kinda like this.....a lot of men from their own countries think that foreign women are better than their own.......you know the saying the grass is always greener on the other side.....but is it..?
