[quote=GUEST21411,343378]It's all rather simple.  Few are the number of Western (i.e. Judeo-Christianised) women who would voluntarily give up the attractiveness of the culture in which they were raised.  That is, Western women by and large expect a degree of autonomy, of decision-making on a 'equal' footing with one's partner and of choice (to whatever degree).  The Eastern (Confucianised) woman, by contrast, who is in all likelihood led a more restricted in life, is opening up her choices by marrying a Western man.  Typically.  Case by case, this all varies of course according to the relative restrictiveness of a particular woman's background (although we generally behave similarly within the same culture there are variations).  In simple (albeit crass) terms: the Eastern woman stands to gain whereas the Western woman might very well be giving up a lot of herself.  If we are talking about Westerners marrying people who were norn and raised in their original culture.  Then of course there is the psychological 'wow' factor that blinds us both to each other's truer qualities.  Haven't we all heard the cliched chivalrousness of Western men (as if that is always true!) and the corresponding meek, docility of Eastern women?[/quote]
