I think the best advice is to treat each woman as unique, either from America or Europe, and not go in with a negative attitude. That way, you are objective, and can spot red flags as you see them and weed out non quality woman. Whatever you do, don't assume that just because a woman is from the EU she has the values that you are looking for.
That being said, I have been to the EU several times, and can say that generally people have a bit more strength of character there. This is mostly due to the challenges that the generations had to face in these countries as time progressed. WWII, for example, people saw their wives and husbands seperated in concentration camps, not knowing whether they survived or not. Cities were virtually demolished, homes destroyed right before their very lives. That's just one example, dig a little further. Poland for example, for 150 years..150 years, they did not have even have a country. The only thing that keep their culture together was family. They had to fight for this. So, culture does play a big part in how people think and what they value. In America, we just don't seem to have that sense as much because we're a young country. We really haven't lived through times like that..
