[quote=GRIZ326,370068]Any man contemplating marriage to a Chinese woman must consider the woman's motives: Does she think I'm rich? Does she want a green card? Does she want her children educated in American universities? Does she believe life in the US/western country will be better than in China? (It is only different, not necessarily better.) Does she believe the streets of America are paved with gold? Does she think American/western men are different than Chinese men and that she will be more appreciated? Chances are that one or many of those motives are part of why a Chinese woman marries a western man. I am certain that one of my wife's motivations was to get an American education for her daughter. She also seems to believe that western men treat women better than Chinese men. But I believe the reason my lovely wife married this old fat man is that she believes she and her daughter can have a better life; that is the only sound reason for any man or woman to get married. My only other thought is that when a man my age, 58, marries any gal in her 20s, 30s or early 40s he is asking for trouble. My wife is 10 years younger than me which I hope aligns our dreams and aspirations much closer.[/quote]
