I am currently going through a break up with an South East Asian woman. I thought given her culture (I am from the same culture but raised in a Western country) she would have shared traits of our culture (traditional, mild mannered, nurturing etc) but I seem to have found an exception. Just wondering if you guys have any nationalities you would recomment or I should stay away from when looking for a potential wife? Thanks.
I recommend keeping your eyes and ears open, instead of gaming based on expectations.
You never know who will have the qualities you want. Culture defines how a person goes about daily life and practical problems, but it doesn't turn someone crazy into someone reasonable.
Bottom line - culturally you can look for someone who values family, loyalty, discipline, education. That kind of thing.
BUT - you can't depend on culture to make a person smart, reasonable, independent, or forgiving.
I'm Khmer, born and raised in the USA, btw. What are you?
