Some of my buddies have said that they will only marry women from other cultures (Hispanic, Asian) because they feel they get better treatment and don't have a "princess complex" like many (NOT all) American women.
My buddies have made up their minds. I'm on the fence on this issue. Do they have a point?
They say many American women (rightly) expect to be treated specially ("open my doors, bring me flowers, pay for our dates, etc.")
How do they reciprocate? By offering the pleasure of their company
They'd never dream of actually reciprocating by offering to serve him, say a plate of food. They feel it would be demeaning. "I'm not your SLAVE. . . but, you'd still better open my doors"
By contrast, 4 of us were invited to the home of a Latina for dinner. She and the other Latinas actually served us and THEN they ate themselves. We were stunned. We would rather've eaten WITH them
But, those ladies understand that the door of service swings both ways. That's all they say they want
