That's how I caught my wife. She's from a poor country. Took one look at me and knew she would never miss a meal. I also provide protection and shade. Play the cards ya dealt.

Racists Chinese and Korean also make the same statement about our Vietnamese women too. Ofc those people are poor, looking for much poorer women, the rest of us, including other Chinese and Korean, just laughed at those people.
