You would be correct about some American men, especially the ones you come in contact with. the ones who do not concentrate on being successful would probably not make the effort to come here. I am here because I want a successful marriage. I have done a lot of research. Money is not just about material things to American men. It is the respect the money provides. I care about money because I want to have a family, but I seek excess money because I want respect from my father, peers and women.
