I feel sorry for the poor Asian women, they work their asses off, the husbands expect to be treated like princes and give nothing in return.

That's not true. Depending on what Asian countries you are referring to, Japanese & Korean men do work harder than women, while men & women both work hard evenly in China. But Chinese women do have some born-in skilled and talent to work eagerly for their male boss. They love working together as women workforce. Sometimes, they would reject a woman boss and obey an elder male boss or foreign boss.

Taking care a wife in men's perspective is another issue. In return, men tends to return home and bring surprise gifts.

But for a special case, some guys would want to have female friends but don't need a wife to control their daily lives, which is like sitting in jail cell with all the in-laws focusing on their properties. Some married men, either Americans or Asians, would agree with me. It is not a cultural issue, but rather a divide between genders. If American males are that generous, why not putting a female president in oval office right now ? I am not saying I support Hillary. But do you see the argument you made ? Lots of Asian countries have ALREADY had a female as president, why not America ? That would give American women some return.

reeling you in ...

<<I doubt very much you really want your wife to do your laundry or wash your car, etc.>>

... you are correct. Nanny / helper does laundry, ordinarily would do car, but I am trying to teach the coconut on taking care of things, and so coconut and i take care of the mini. I do not know who takes care of the SUV but some body does, because it is always clean.

<< or maybe I don't understand the culture?>>

... do not know, am guessing not, but we shall see, let us continue ...

<<In the US, we pay Asians to clean our clothes and Central Americans to clean our houses, mow our lawns and wash our cars>>

... am guessing you are talking about the diligent Asian men who are providing for their families and obediently handing over the cash over to their loving Asian wives, as opposed to ... well, let me stop there and move on

<<I feel sorry for the poor Asian women, they work their asses off, the husbands expect to be treated like princes and give nothing in return>>

... I see, I guess you have Asian women doing your laundry and Hispanic wives doing your lawn.

<<This is why Asian women love American men, American men treat women much better and while a lot of American women don't recognize this, as a lawyer who handles a lot of divorces, I do recognize how generous American men can be>>

... I am guessing proportionally more Asian women get divorced from non-Asia husbands than from Asian husbands. I am also guessing that more Asian women get non-Asian husbands because they cannot get Asian husbands. I am guessing more Americans get divorced than not, and more than elsewhere, as in anywhere else. I have a whole lot of Euro professional knows gladly leaving their Euro spouse, and hook up with new Asian wives, and I am guessing that is because Asian values are more alluring, satisfying, right, as it should be, as one would expect, and is enabling of longevity.

<<Take a tip from them>> ... as in get married, and then divorced, in the majority?

<<Don't fight over the remote control, get another TV.>>

... done that.

<<Don't fight over the car or the computer or the cell phone, she needs her own>>

... done that too.

<<Don't fret about the joint balance sheet getting bigger, just don't get a divorce and you'll never need to worry about it>>

... done that as well, plus paid for spouse' finishing education in Harvard B-school, and staked her in private equity, as well as regularly put her name on successive property purchases, etc etc. I drew the line at hireing a driver, because that is just outrageous.

<<Women love a good provider, be magnanimous>>

... and in return I should expect what? Oh yes, someone to tell the helper what to cook for my breakfast. And guess what, I do not get that.

<<Be magnanimous in marriage, selfish in divorce>>

... in Asia, we are not big on divorce, because we have Asian values. In Asia, the Americans and Euro type get divorced just about enmass, because they appreciate Asian values.

<<A good woman is a pearl beyond price, let her do her own thing in the marketplace, she's got a natural advantage over you, men are the hunters, women the gatherers. Let her gather.>>

... better yet, a good woman with the right dad is beyond priceless, and that is a fact.

<<A good woman will spend your money in ways that make you richer, happier, more contented>>

... I am guessing you are talking wives, as opposed to just any good woman?
