Foreign Wives Bolt From Servitude

Your article should have had the term gold digger worked into it. I have observed how Russian women throw themselves at American male tourists in hope of using them as passports to what they perceive is a better life.
Little do these women know that it takes two paychecks to live comfortably in this country. Also, I would be very suspicious of a man who wanted a “traditional” wife. Most of the men have been rejected by the women of their own culture. No rational man would want a Putzfrau to raise his children. Just how exciting can a woman who “loves to iron” be?
Few people are as boring as a dependent wife. The most feminine woman is one who has the ability to take care of herself, not some clinger who is using someone’s passport to escape a situation she could stay and help change.
