Asian brides: the new worldwide phenomenon

The world has been changing very quickly in the past 20 years. We now have access to technologies that we would not have had just 20 years ago. We can connect with people across the world no matter the time zone or time of day. We can share any information, be it personal or academic, between different parts of the world. All this was impossible just a few years ago. With the invention and popularization of the Internet culture, communities separated by vast distance are combining as one for the first time in history.
With this new power of connectivity, our dating habits and choice of partners have changed somewhat. People who were too far away or too different from us have now become accessible. We no longer need to be present at the location to get to know them. We are talking, of course, about Asian brides and women from Asian countries as a whole. These foreign beauties were unavailable for men just a few years ago. Now, with the introduction and widespread of the Internet, we can and talk to Asian women without having to travel insane distances.
But why would Asian brides be interested in marrying away from their culture and country? Why would an Asian woman look for a husband hundreds of miles away from their native lands? Well, there are several reasons.
The most obvious reason is that Asian singles want love. Love is a powerful emotion that transcends time and distance. It might just so happen that an Asian bride would fall in love with a foreigner. But why look for love abroad? Well, the world is a giant place with roughly a few billion people. While Asian countries might be big and overpopulated, that is not a guarantee that the love of your life will live there. By extending your dating net towards foreign countries, you are increasing the chance of finding someone.
Another reason could be the generalized stigma that haunts young Asian girls in Asian families. In Chinese and Korean culture, the man is considered the head of the household. As such, he is duty-bound to work and provide for his family. Women are generally assigned the more feminine role of caretaker and mother. Some Asian brides are not content with these limitations set in by their culture. As a matter of fact, there are currently at least 10 Feminist Organizations trying to bring positive change to China’s male-dominated cultural climate. While there have already been some changes, there is a long road ahead filled with dangers and disappointments.
Another reason could be that Asian women are just tired of the same old. They want something different in their life that excites, stimulates, and enriches their intellect. Dating a foreigner exposes them to different cultures and new ideas. What better way to enrich oneself than communicating with different people.
