^ I know many asian women and they all have mentioned the age thing.
In their cultures it seems that if a woman is not married before 25 then something must be wrong with her. The pressure they have from their families to marry 'well' is enormous.
When I say 'their cultures' I mean this is from the women that were born and raised overseas. You dont see that much pressure from 2nd or 3rd generation asian families.
This seems to be the most driving factor. I've planned at one point going to Japan for studying, and so I've talked about it with both European and Japanese. One conversation with a female professor of laws was pretty enlightening in this regard. She said that in Japan, it is still very common that women are expected to finish high school, and then get married, have children and being a housekeeper. There is still a significant amount of women who get their first child in their very early twenties. Thing is, a dramatically increasing number of women does not want a life like that, they want higher education and a career of their own. The professor herself was indeed married to a "gaijin", and she said many women fantasize of having a man from a western culture because they are more likely to accept their choice of career over early family. Also, consider that there are indeed a vast amount of western men who are simply attracted to the "exotic" look of asian women. It works the other way around, as well.
Here in Germany, we actually find ourselves in a rather similar situation with women whose family comes from islamic/muslim culture. Surveys suggest that in the eye of more westernized, integrated muslim women, her "ideal" partner is often a German who converted to islam. He would have "the right" belief, and still be much more open and liberal than men from the still very traditionalist and male-centred islamic culture. One of my best lady friends is turkish, and she has voiced to me that she is indeed very tired of the machoism that all turkish men she knows have going, and from meeting some of them, I can definitely verify that all have that certain "douchebaggery" about them, and that they indeed are only friends with her to get into her panties, and that they indeed want to marry a woman to have, more or less, a private servant at home to father children with (without wanting to derail, yes, I am perfectly aware that the fact that she said she'd like a more gentle, quiet and "western" guy is a pretty obvious sign that she is quite into me... but even though she is rather kind and cute, being muslim is a deal breaker for me when it comes to women.)
