I never really got the obsession with Russian, etc. women as wives. When I was a child, I heard about Russian children being sent to spy on their parents. Russian was the cold, atheistic regime Reagan called 'the evil empire.' Russia was presented kind of like the fulfillment of Orwell's 1984, where I remember the guy's wife wanted to have sex to have children 'for the party.' It sounded like a rather cold culture. I think of beautiful but heartless bond villains or villains in other movies. Of course, there is a generation and a half nearly of women since the cold war ended. In an old Jerry Lewis movie, the Americans who sent astronauts to the moon had to marry the man and woman off first for political reasons, but the Russians didn't care. I'm sure there are plenty of sweet Russian women in real life. And past generations of evil Communism may not have damaged the male-female relationship culture as badly as feminism has in the US. But the divorce rate is fairly high, there, still. Is the Ukraine much different, culturally?WesternWomenSuck wrote: ↑June 28th, 2019, 5:40 amLots of men in the USA are white, whereas very few men are Filipino. You would think that since American men are white would have a preference for white women, and so they would all flock to Ukraine to get a wife, and yet they don't. Here are the K1 Visa (K1 is the foreign fiance visa) statistics:

As you can see, Philippines has 10 times as many K1 visas as Ukraine. Why does Philippines have so many more K1 visas than Ukraine, despite Philippines being a non-white country? i think most white Americans probably try Ukraine first and realize that it sucks and then try Philippines.
I have never seen photographic proof of someone and their hot young Ukrainian wife. Even in writings on the internet, it's always a late 20s woman who "looks 19" (yeah, right), and turns out to be demanding and abusive. With Filipinas though, I always see people writing about their 18-23 year old loyal Filipina.
I myself tried online dating in a few countries: Ukraine, Brazil, Philippines, and many others. In Ukraine I got very little attention (almost exclusively from single moms). In Brazil I got more attention. But by far the country I got most attention from was Philippines. My inbox was flooded with messages from 18 and 19 year old Filipinas after a few hours (I am 26). I am sure that part of my lack of success in Ukraine is probably due to the fact that I am not white (I am Iranian), but I don't think this is the only reason. Like I said, I never see guys talk about their hot clingy Ukrainian, but I do see people talk about their hot young clingy Filipina. You might say Filipinas are more desperate for a husband since Philippines is a poor country, but actually Ukraine is just as poor as Philippines - they have exactly the same GDP per capita. It seems like no matter how poor they are, white women just suck no matter what.
Even though whites are still the majority (I think) in the US, some white men do like Asian women. I married an Indonesian. I didn't feel like I had to have an Asian. I liked the looks of white women, too. I was working in Indonesia in my 20's, though, and met my wife there.
I have heard of Filippinas making good wives. We had a military base there for a long time, which is what I think started the trend and the perception of Filippinas as good wives. Online, I see Filippinas presented as easy targets for fornicators for sex or else as good wives. These two are not really compatible. I hear some of the 'nice girls' there have to have a chaperon, a cousin who goes with you on a date, for example. It could be the sexually active ones just sleep with the relatively small pool of expats who visit over there looking for sex.
Feminism does not seem to have contaminated eastern culture as badly. Communism messed up a few countries' cultures badly, like China. But maybe not as bad as feminism for male-female relationship, but I'm not sure about that. The Philippines did not get as contaminated by communism. There is a traditional culture of women being women over there. Divorce in the Philippines is practically illegal, so some people shack up, live with people they aren't legally married, to. But it seems like they have a kind of anti-divorce culture.
I read a post from someone on a forum who said that people said that Filippinas were getting married to American men to scam them. But 25% of Filippinas ended up divorced from their husband while 50% of marriages to American women ended in divorce, so he asked who are the real scammers? I do not know where he got his stats.
I spent nearly 12 years in Indonesia, and I met one woman who'd studied in the US who called herself a feminist. Another old woman was having difficulty getting along with her husband after studying in the US and getting a sense of her 'power.' They have a government department for women's affairs, and women can work, but they don't seem to have the feminist ideology as a part of their culture. So that helps. And women typically believe they are supposed to cook and clean. Some of the modern ones may not know how to if they just work in the office. Also, losing virginity before marriage is a stigma, especially for women, and virginity before marriage seems to be the norm, especially outside of the big city. The divorce rate is relatively low.
