An American women marrying a foreign guy is kinda like....
An Italian guy dating a russian girl...
Or a German woman dating a French man....
You can't reverse the gender roles and have a Strong Woman and, well, a 'weakened' man, and expect things to work.
It flies in the face of 5,000 years of biological programming.
Women like to be taken. They liked to feel protected.
It's much better to have a German Man and a French woman (ohhhh....that's the best)
or a Russian Man and an Italian woman.
ps: you should do a story on American women dating foreign men that marry them and then murder them for their money after getting US citizenship, so they can then import their families from Eastern Europe and live Big. That would be a fascinating story.
