I know people like this. I really think some men just prefer it. And I can certainly see where it might be easier/less stress.

I also know a couple of guys that married women from foreign countries they met while living in their countries - not like mail order bride thing. Neither of these women spoke English well (so no sarcasm, shared jokes, etc). Always thought it must be so difficult to connect on any sort of deep level that way.

My guess was that it must just be for the reasoning you give. Simple, easy, less headache.
