As an American man would you want to marry an American woman or a foreigner and why?

America is a melting pot. Most people are a blend from all over. Where they or their ancestors are from isn't necessarily an issue. What's more of an issue is compatibility. When people's traditions and patterns are drastically different, this can create conflict in a relationship. People generally like being introduced to new ideas, but they become resistant when those ideas are shoved down their throat.

The question is how willing you are to accept people as they are rather than expect them to conform to what's familiar to you. When people are respectful of differences, relationships thrive. When people feel threatened by differences, relationships self-destruct. Americans are no different from others. You will always find those who are tolerant and those who expect others to be a clone of themselves. I'm sure you don't like hearing people say "All females are..." The same holds true for all other groups. You can find what you seek in any population, though there will always be others you find repulsive. Choose wisely, and you'll like the results.

For me, the one that got away was a foreigner from Ghana. If I was on the market again, I just really struggle to deal with American women’s entitlement, feminism, general lack of appreciation for what men do and struggle with, and general lack of personal responsibility. I said general because they were obviously exceptions, but I have to assume that talking to other Americans on the Internet is a somewhat representative sample of where the culture is at the moment, and if a choice had to be made I’d be looking overseas.

I don't care about nationality either way. As long as they're fluent in English and not leftist/woke.

If I *had to choose* though? Probably an American, cause we'd have more in common. But I'm not opposed to dating a Brit, Irish, Australian, Korean, Indian, Ukrainian, Russian, etc. Probably anywhere but a Muslim country.

Fair enough.

I’m married to an American, probably because that’s who I happened to meet. I never had a notion to search worldwide. I wouldn’t be interested in a woman that wasn’t fluent in English because easy conversation is very important to me. For the same reason I only date women with some cultural literacy.

I would only consider marrying a woman with very traditional values and roles. Since that's very difficult to find in the US, I have dated foreign women, though that isn't always a viable long-term solution either, as they often have to return home, or choose to, sometimes for familial reasons.

Marriage is such a one-sided institution from a legal perspective in the US, I've avoided marriage entirely but if I was ever to leave the country, I might consider it.

I married a naturalized citizen, a spoiled rotten American citizen, and a foreigner..

basically I’m just done with marriage.

[sheikalana]

LMAO. No hope left in you?

[Andres77]

Bachelor…thats my last hope

It wouldn't matter if she was American or foreign I don't judge by either way.

[Avicenna]

Either is fine with me, but she needs to speak at least one of the languages I speak (or Portuguese) so I can communicate with her.

[exitseven]

An American woman. I think her values would align with my own better than if I married somebody from a foreign country.

[NathanDavis]

it doesn't matter to me...

after all, I will marry with her... not with America, lol

[magiusX26]

neither. preffer single and alone. dating sint worth it. marriage is worth less than dating.

Nationality doesn't matter.
Status of the relationship DOES.
