As opposed to women from other countries/cultures. What is your opinion? And please no silly male and female bashing. only good thoughtful answers kindly.
I am an american born from persian decsent and have been told this from many people, mostly Iranians though, who some have happened to marry americans and mostly ended up divorcing.
A female barber told me yesterday that the worst iranian girl is better than the best american one for MARRIAGE. Of course she was exagerating but she sought to get the general idea across.

The only reason of why we would be least sutiable for marriage is as a few others said. American society no longer has the same marriage values as those of some other countries. Also or culture does not hold the same stigmas of pre-martial sex as opposed to ten to twenty years ago, and so it is harder for a man to find a pure female for marriage. American women are also taught to be more independent and even encouraged to be the higher bread winners of the house and maintain a family secondly. Do keep in mind though that not ALL american women are like this, but there are a lot of people to filter through, love.

I agree with pbleek.
In North American culture divorce carries no social stigma, which is fine but it also means that marrige has little meaning, its the only contract you can enter into, which either party can break at any time for any reason.
think people from other cultures recognize that life is not just a bed of roses all the time, and are willing to work hard and to go through some adversity. Success to an American means a 5000+ square foot house with and H2 in the driveway, sucess in other cultures is still measured by the honor and content of a persons character.
Also in your country family comes first and caring and rasing children are VERY important. In the US it is every man or woman for his or her self. It is all about what material things you have. Men and Women work long hours and they leave the kids with a sitter or daycare so they can make $$$$ to buy a fancy car and look important even if they are in debt.
USA = Very selfish people

I don't think it's just American women, but men too. This is a statement coming from one who is American born. Marriage is no longer sacred in this country. People marry, divorce and marry again, at will. From my observations, these marriages are only for convenience that love. No one's really willing to work on their relationships. The naive ones think that once you get married, you live happily ever after. Once they realize there's actual work involved, they bail on their committments.

Of course I'm only speaking in generalized terms. This is not every American. I am proud to say that my parents are not part of the statistic. They have been married for 35 years and they are still going strong. They have had good years and bad, but they work through the bad together.

I have never been in a serious relationship and I don't take marriage lightly. I will only marry once in my life. If things go wrong, I will do everything in my power to fix the relationship. I will not flake and automatically bail like I've seen so many people do. Marriage will be the most serious committment I will make in my life. When I find the right person I will know and happily make the committment.

Of course these people telling you this are NOT natural born Americans. Those people come from countries where the women are submissive and live for their men. American women are stronger, more independent and able to live life alone if we feel we need to. We don't let some man tell us how to survive or be happy. We can take care of our families, our homes and still have a career. We are American women. Those countries are threatened by American women. They cannot not control our lives, our souls or our minds so they feel we are not marriage material. We love our American men (most of them) and can have a very happy marriage. Maybe those Iranians should go back to their own country instead of bashing us women here. Don't come to this country, expect acceptance, expect freedom, expect us to change to other country's policies then bash us when you get here. Hell no! I dare one of them to talk to me that way. So let me ask you, did you stick up for us since you are an American born or did you agree with them?

I don't think your contacts have met enough American women to really know for sure. I have been married to my wife for over 30 years. I dated others and only she was the best one for me. It doesn't matter where you meet the women, only the type that you meet. You can find the wrong kind of woman any where you want to go across the world and not just in the US. You can also find the best woman in the world in the US if you take the time to carefully look.

As a matter of fact, it was my wife who asked me out on our first date when she was in college and I was in graduate school, something most women of another country never would have done. What matters is that you have true love for each other and not the Hollywood or Playboy kind of lust. Lust will always fail you when someone better comes along, but true love never fails. It doesn't matter where a woman is from, but what does matter is what is in her heart.

Well it seems you are only asking Iranians and no offense, they don't really think highly of Ameriacns (most of them).
Marry who you want, not who people tell you to. That is so ridiculous.
How can you judge an entire country based on what your BARBER said.
As for your other friend, perhaps she was too much woman for him and he is used to a submissive type. American women are NOT the submissive type. We have minds of our own and stuff.

America is the land of freedom. Nearly every race and culture lives here. You can't kill someone here leaglly cause they committed adultury , or is a prostitute, or stole from you. In your country you can. A couple hundred years ago , England was killing children for stealing food . So, given the immense freedom here, a lot women got the attitude that they don't have to listen to no one and would leave you in a heartbeat. And,also, a lot of men leave their wives for someone new. Plus, america has a lot crime now. A lot of killing going on.

How sad....Guess they don't like the fact that American women speak their minds and don't slave for their husbands. Could that be why???
