Hi Jason.
The ability to help with all the necessary costs and the willingness to do it are two different things. In my country having an average salary I'll need to save up money for about 4-5 months to buy a one-way ticket to the USA. Taking this fact into consideration do you find it reasonable? Should a woman spend her life saving up money because one day she might meet an American? I don't think so.
Before a man registers on an international dating site he should Google what salaries we have here/how we live/what we expect from a man. If you marry a woman from abroad you take responsibility for her in any relation. Besides you need to remember that English is not her native language. So when she comes to the USA you'll be the only person she'll be able to rely on.
Now let's think about the things your future wife will need.
1. Language. If her English is not good you'll need to pay for courses/tutoring because without knowing a language she won't be able to work.
2. Education. To get a job she'll need a degree. So you'll need to pay for the evaluation of her documents OR for an "entire" degree if the education she's got here doesn't match American standards. There's a possibility in the USA when a company pays for education after a year of work. But to get such work she'll need a good knowledge of language.
3. So let's imagine she has all of these (which will be great). Before she comes to the USA you'll get a fiancee visa for her. Notwithstanding the fact that it's costly, getting such visa can take up to 9 months. To get this visa you'll need to meet in person at least one time, have pictures of both of you together, proof that the marriage is not fictional (these are e-mails, messages, phone calls). After you get this visa you'll have 90 days to marry.
4. You get married. You'll need to order documents for her. Health insurance, social security number, driving license, etc. If she doesn't have driving license you'll need to pay for a driving school as well.
5. A car. I guess everyone in the US drives a car. Your future wife will need it too. I'm not telling you about expensive cars. But still she'll need it. When she moves to your place you just won't have time to take her everywhere she needs, because you'll lose your salary. For now I mean ONLY appointments that will be connected with the legalisation of her status in the US. What if she'll want a baby? She'll then need a car to go to the hospital. It's just an example. But of course she'll have other needs.
6. These needs are: clothes, shoes, cosmetics. She can't (and not because she doesn't want it, but because there are restrictions in the weight of luggage) bring everything she has/needs. So you'll need to take care about such stuff too.
7. I've forgotten about car insurance. Its cost depends on state, but obviously you know it.
8. Travelling. Your future wife will want to visit her parents/relatives/sisters/brothers/even children. And she'll not just want it, she'll need it.
A woman from abroad will change all her life for you. She'll need to get used to another lifestyle/food/culture/attitude towards everything. Your life will change too. But it's a woman who'll have to adapt, to learn, to get used to another reality.
As for money most women here won't be able to pay for everything they'll need during the first year or even two years, and not because they don't want it but because they can't. And I don't think there exists a woman that will start to work in another country from the very first day.
So the thing is not that we look for money. We look for stability and support. Our women are very loving and caring. In marriage if you have problems with work/money our women support men, they work, they cut down on their expenses, they're loyal and understanding. But to get such a woman you need to be ready to take responsibility for her in any respect, in international dating the main issue is finance. Unfortunately.
