Desertguy49: Since when does someone retain the right to dictate which direction a thread takes, these are open forums.... so thanks for the reminder, but no thanks
venusenvy: I totally agree Jeffy...You should only ever marry for one reason...LOVE!
Very true, just wish a lot more local ladies agreed with you. All the girls my age seem to want want want and never give anything in return - speaking from extensive experience.
I gave because i loved
They took and expected under the pretence that they loved.
TaylorBradford: You're always right on . . . you stick to your guns. . . . . . and btw people, this thread is on "MAIL ORDER BRIDES".
Yes, thank you and the OP asked us for our opinion.
He doesn't have to do what we say but at least he needs to know that some might just marry him not for love but immigration papers and if he is ok with that fine.
shikoomuch: Change ur color then, ur and thats why u get this attitude. Shame to deny ur origins, we dont choice and the most important in life is where we r going not where we come from. All black race originated from Africa.
What a stupid response!!!
For you information, I DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM YOU.

To me long distance relationships on line are like the modern day mail order bride of this generation.Sure you can e-mail them,see them on skype or cam.They can tell you what every you want to hear,but until you meet and live with them you don't really know a person.I don't see any thing wrong with it,if both parties are honest about what they are seeking up front!
robsantiago15: This is almost like trying to buy love. Dude, money can't buy you love. I guess you just have to be patient and wait for the right one.
I have coworker that married an American and the cost of her immigrating to the U.S. was almost $40,000. That's a lot money to pay especially if things were to go wrong. I guess if you are rich, then I guess you can afford to do this.
To me it not about money at all it all about finding some one that I want to be with for her the way she is, and that want to be with me for me the way I am.
gininitaly: Oh my Jackman... you've lost me here: HUMBLE is a prerequisite for a proper woman??? This the 21 century isn't it? Are we sheep herders in a Muslim country with wives as chattel, gazing in awe at male dominance?
Now dear I will have to say that it's time to get your feet back on the ground... those days should be over in the western world where 'everyone' is putting the bacon on the table and each should be pulling his/her own weight financially, emotionally and practically. Are your egos so fragile, that they can't stand on their own without the morale boost of lording over a female to get you through the day?
Well I don't approve of anyone playing the high and mighty... female or male... frankly we just can't afford to these days, it's a lot of work and expense holding things together with both working; kids, mortgages, insurance, cars, houses... these are equal opportunity stressors now, simply because we need, in most cases, 2 working people to make ends meet.
Now, are telling me you would like a beautiful Chinese doctor to come home after a draining day and coddle you simply because you are male? EVERYONE needs coddling these days... and always have! It's not just the prerequisite of the delicate male.
Everyone needs to carry their load EQUALLY...care for each other equally, share the responsibilities, the joys and sorrows equally. Because only as a true team of two individuals working towards common goals in partnership, will there be respect and consideration. We are both human beings on the road of life together, one no better than the other.
Just my humble opinion.
Not sure how any of this plays into egos and you seem to be the only one mentioning lording over a women. I have never said that. So you think it’s an ego boost to look for women in another country or mail order bride. I think it’s brutal to be honest with you. But I will still consider it as I do not find ladies here that want to settle down its always about the next best, better, bigger, brighter. I find this is pretty much what I mean. Do you really try to get to know the person? I find this does not happen any more.
I want a partner that contributes equally. What that means everyone has their own opinion but to say to lord over a woman or to boost my moral I don’t need a women for either one of them. I feel to lord over any male or female is crazy in the first place. Anyone who needs to have a woman to feel their moral will increase needs help.

equiya: The poor countries in Africa, I didn't invent that word. I met a couple of women from Africa who came to the US by marrying some one for immigration papers, They told me the story themselves. Right now as we speak there is someone from Russia who came to Canada that way. She has only been here 2 years and is divorced from the man. Again, she told me the story herself. There is a 92 year old man who has married a 44 year old woman rom Russia for immigration papers, he told someone who told me, we share the same cleaner. My cleaner is from somewhere in Africa and tells me she has maaried her cousin for immigration and tax purposes. Told me the story when she asked me to help her write a letter to the authorities about the case, I am NOT being unfair to anyone. I am offering my advice to the OP. He asked for advice.
For myself I plan to keep it real if I ever decide to do this The age gap will be no more than 7 years preferably 5
I think some of these where there is a 20 year age gap are just doomed but you know what if that 90 year old man is willing to do it for a few years of fun, get at it gramps

I think you deserve to know the truth from day one. Are they marrying for love or immigration papers or both? If you are ok with the reason who are we to judge? but at least you know her motive before you get involved.

There is plenty of male golddiggers too..funny how they only lable women as that..I lost count of how many men contact me with the first interest they have is trying to find out what kind of money I make and what do I own..big clue what their looking for..lol[/quo
Sorry SBE, I didn't mean to label genders here, it can work either way. I wouldn't care about how big someones income was as long as they were sincere, a hard trait to find in in a partner these days...

Gold Diggers and Passport seekers and the like is a secondary consideration. My main concern would be - do they come with one of those pre-addressed sacks so that you can send them straight back when you find out that they don't meet the product specifications promised.
