American and British men marry foreign women to stay married longer.
American women haven't learned yet what it needs to keep a man. Ask any asian girl.
And asian men don't need white women, they have asian girl to take care of them.
Funny thing...I don't "keep" my husband, nor does he "keep" me. We came together as equal partners, and stay together because we enjoy it. My marriage is not some kind of contest wherein I trick him into fidelity, and he tries to sneak out for some strange.
The other nice thing about equality is taking care of one another. My husband had girlfriends who only wanted to be submissive and obedient in the past; he says he would rather have an equal female partner and get a dog who takes orders.
He has an equal female partner and a stubborn, oversmart, disobedient dog.
Doing nice things for one another (making dinner, footrubs, insert obscene example here) is gratifying to both of us, with no power plays necessary.
