Mail Order Brides

I saw an ad on GameCopyWorld for brides.ru , which is one of those 'mail order bride' services....

I was surprised by the sheer number of women on that site. I doubt most of them are scammers (I remember a movie bout that, tho it didn't do well at the box office ( I didn't go see it, either 🙂 )


I remember that hostage situation in Moscow at the theatre where those Chechen terrorists siezed a theatre- one of the Americans killed in the siege was there meeting his new wife from one of these agencies.

Out of curiosity, anyone know someone that did it?
 
You mean you want to meet women half way around the globe who don't even speak English? There are plenty of those in the US.

From what I have heard they are trying to come to the US, and this is one of the ways. After coming here, they will claim some stupid BS, like he abuses her and what not.
 
I'd think they would marry you and get citizenship then just bail out of the marrage once they get what they want.
 
Oh, I'm not interested in doing it. I'm just asking out of intellectual curiosity, not curious to do it
🙂

They are gonna stick around for atleast 5 years with you? What the hell kind of a scheme is this?

I remember seein this geek (early 30s) at the movies with this tall hot blonde girl who spoke with a russian accent. Maybe she was in it for the free movie tix =P

No but I know several people who went back to their respective countries and got wives, via arranged marriage.

oh common
would a woman ever do that? honestly, where do you people get this sort of thing... 😛
 
you think people that do this actually have a social life? there's gotta be a reason why you go half way around the world to find yerself a wife.

those mail order brides go through english tranining and such through the agency that handles the "transaction" figure for the girls it's a good way to get out of the thrid world country and into living an american dream!!

*sigh*

Yes. One of my clients went to Russia a few times after meeting a woman via some service. They got married and she and her son moved to the US. They seem very happy together. I never have seen any visible signs of unhappiness and she (and her son) seem to be happy to be here instead of in Russia.
 
I've also heard of couple that are happy after doing this. It's hard to imagine marrying anyone after knowing them a couple days.
 
One of my co-workers when I worked for another division had one. He was corresponding with her for about 2 years and flown out to inspect the merchandise before he bought it. I think the girl was Ukrainian. I met her, she looked pretty good and could speak fairly good english, monster accent though. They seemed really happy together
