I dunno... I loved some Russian guys with all my heart, but they could never accept me for who I am. To be with them, I would have to turn myself into a pretzel and I just couldn't do it... so I left Russia...
I don't think American guys are better... they don't try to change me as much and they are not as controlling, but on the other hand they are often not very romantic either.
I understood her frustrations.
