Question regarding interacial marriages in japan or outside(no-racism please!)

Certainly agree, and if we purely look at USA/UK spouses, they're overwhelmingly the foreign grooms (very roughly 83% male and 17% female).

I think part of why western men are more interested in staying long term is that men are generally more free in Japanese society (frankly, almost all societies, but quite pronounced in many Asian societies). The expectations of men, while massively different than western expectations, are far less restrictive than the expectations of women.

The SE Asian brides is probably much more complicated, involving a lot of sociological aspects including changing female educational and social demographics and more slowly changing male expectations of gender roles. I'm sure a lot of financial aspects are at play as well, and changes in traditional ways of developing relationships are probably making it difficult for couples to get together. If all of your adult role models developed relationships in ways which are not possible in a modern society then men (who, regardless of right or wrong, are generally expected to be the initiators of relationships) don't get opportunities to develop the skills they need to establish a relationship.

The modern system of marriage has adjusted to pressure from the Western custom of love marriages (恋愛結婚 ren'ai kekkon), which surpassed arranged marriages in number in the mid-1960s.
