mollybaby: These are human beings, real women with feelings, dignity, pride and family.
They just happen to not be as rich as many people in the West.
They are not disposible items to be bought by mail order.
It might be mail order but I don't think it's as easy as packaging and handling fees.
I've seen some documentaries where people talk online for "X" amount of time, meet under whatever agency's supervision for the safety of the woman. This continues for quite some time. It gets costly with travel and visas, even meeting the woman's family in some cases.
Sometimes a wedding and change of address takes place some times it doesn't.
If this is like some of those, it's not just any one of choice to someone not of choice.

Going back over 20 years, in some of the earlier days when msn chats were around and lively; I first became aware of the concept through chatting(when I might have had some better chatting skills).
Whether the person was telling truth or not, I ended up in long term conversation with a person that allegedly worked for just such a system. They ran all this by me, stating that they were one of the agents the looked for prospective males for brides. The reason was stated as earlier in this post: prosperity and home based prospects not of high enough quality. As time went; another warning issued from this person to be aware of; she had never seen a marriage and that it was really all about the money. Racketeering at some of it's finest.
I've had one email address in particular for over that amount of time. through the spam mail I used to get; I'm inclined to believe some of this true. Through spam mail I've been able to see the amount of agencies grow in some areas. Even researched it a little bit just because. Apparently,it does happen. It's actually been years since I've looked at anything related to it. This might be a reasonable update.
Some of these stories swing both ways. Sometimes some control freak man gets one of these "brides" and it ends up very bad. Sometimes it's these desperate lonely men that get hooked up with a very deceitful "bride" who then divorces him and runs off with her Boyfriend of her youth that just happened to be in the country at the same time.
You always have to try to find out exactly why someone choose the online method of finding a partner. Money corrupts everything when it becomes a condition of a relationship.

Because it is easier to lie on a bed, tablet in hand, than go our to bars and clubs

The mail bride industry is a scam...saw a documentary on this phenomenon...many men are duped into paying exorbitant fees for the pleasure of translating e-mails and arranging holidays for these lonely men to meet a partner...the women get attention and many marry for the ability to get a green card or have a baby and the man pays support...many different scams going on...poverty in some of these countries is a huge issue and scamming is a way of life...may post a blog on this issue...
i think the divorce rate between 'unorganised marriage' and 'mail order' is about the same. two thirds. 'Organised marriage' has a better track record. 'Real love' is often overrated in the long run.
Long relationships take some effort. A good start is half the run, but the idea of winning a race is about moving your feet.
