Do you look at the profiles of women in other countries? Why? You do know importing one of them is (67)
Ken_19: There is no question some of the women in some of the countries have much more attractive profiles than some of the women in the US. They cook, they sew, they promise obedience and love forever, many are multi-lingual, etc. Also fat women seem to be rare in some of the countries and many, many are slim and pretty. Many say right up front 'I want to get married and leave here.' The issue I see is the legal requirements and financial requirements are a serious obstacle for that ever happening. US Immigration law requires you to be able to prove if seeking a K-1 visa for them that you went there, and you met them before applying for the Visa, more money spent. You will need an Immigration lawyer, more money. Both you and her will be subject to character investigation. Guess who pays for that? Are some of them B-girls? Probably. Some may have AIDS too. In some countries they may also need an exit Visa. They will probably want you to pay for that too. Some are scammers with bogus profiles too. So we come to really two questions. Why are you looking at what you will never be able to afford to buy (the Visa, although the gir;'s parents may in some cultures expect a dowry for themselves), and if you are one of those women, what is the point? Your odds of someone like Bill Gates coming along to pull you out of 'end of the world' province in the country of Chllleast are slim to non-existent, so why you wasting your time in international dating?

In the US the paperwork you have to fill out as the K-1 Visa Sponsor is remarkably similar to the paperwork you have to fill out to import something expensive. So since they can't get here as a fiance without you starting a paperwork file and paying fees import is a good term.

WHY are you on an INTERNATIONAL dating site?

It would be niave to deny that there are women from other countries that have "other" motives,but there are also thousands of genuine ones.Is there anything wrong with them looking for a change in there life?
After all,are not the men contacting them,also looking for a change,else they would date solely in there own area,or country.

Interesting observations, and very realistic concerns you raise. You mention things I have seen with my own eyes as a foreigner in Poland. I did not go the traditional mail order route from the comfort of my chair. I moved here.
But there is one other thing - and it is contained within my quote of you above. There is the rational thinking of complementary matching. It is certainly appealing to have a complement. But then there is the reality of the emotional attractiveness of finding such a person too - kind of like a gambler's high. I think that by separating one from the other or ignoring the emotional in favour of the rational is a set up for disaster.
Not that disaster cannot be averted just that it is more likely, in my opinion, due to the emphasis on fantasy. The White Knights on powerful destriers are not on sites like these - nor are their Ladies.

Yuh, kind of my point. <destriers = destroyers?> The 4th or 10th or even 100th richest guy (or woman) on Earth is not killing his day searching free Int'l dating web sites (unless he has insane of course, but he won't be rich for long if he has). He has already hired a half dozen drop dead gorgeous types who have Msster's degrees as eye candy for around the office or the estate. Likewise people with money know that one recipe for disaster is to date people without money, so as a general rule, they don't.
Yes, I agree with the fantasy thing. Yup, some are (very) hot looking and when you read their profiles they just blow the local competition away. "I am a chef specializing in Mediterranean cooking, I speak English, Chinese, Hindi and Swahili. I have a degree in economics and I own my own house. I sing in the local church choir. I made the dress I am wearing in the photo. I am tired of running a restaurant and I want to be a normal housewife and have children. Please no scammers or married men."
OMG!
Then you look at where they live, and your almost empty wallet, the cost of the needed airfare and hotel fees so you could actually go there and meet them after you first get a passport and travel approval for that country, and the State dept website where they list the cost of a K1 Visa and average lawyer fees, and, if you aren't on drugs or drunk, you realize fat Linda down the street who at age 34 will soon get a GED and absolutely no life skills, and a revoked DL because of her second DWI conviction, living in her ex's basement, and who thinks putting a frozen pizza in the microwave is cooking is probably a more realistic person to message.

Well , me being a 3th world (and 3th class) citizen(indigenous hispanic fat single mother , with no AIDS btw...) getting married with a first class citizen (an european single guy) I've experienced (Or rather say I AM) the whole process that inmigrating implies...
I left my job (im an engineer) my family and everything just to be with him
What's the point?????
We love eachother, regardless of what some judgemental people like you thinks (We 3th world citizens need an exit visa...)
Why are YOU wasting your precious time in an international dating site??
Odds might be against you when your on an international relationship (or Long Distance Relationship) but... probability get's even worse when you keep a Judgemental , narrowminded and negative attitude.
JMHO

Well you made a very poor choice of wording in your thread title....."importing"......so the flack you received for that alone should have been expected!
If you have such serious doubts about these profiles you describe then leave them well alone and don't fret about them so much. Simple no?

Good heavens. I don't doubt the profiles are real in the least (many of them anyway). I just want someone to explain to me given the legal and financial hurdles why that would be someone's first choice.
Importing may be a poor choice of words since the person, male or female, will also be doing some of the paperwork, and oooo I hurt someone's feelings by using that word, but really when you go to a government and say I would like your permission for this or that person to come into my country, that is an importation, especially if you are the one paying all the costs.

Okay, I checked my dictionary. Mea Culpa. Import is the WRONG word. Import requires the item being brought in be brought in 'for sale or trade.' So okay, import IS the wrong word because there would be no sale or trade. If I could edit previous posts to change the wording I would.

I'm surprised you had to look up the word to realise how inflammatory it could be if related to a person! Never mind, now you understand.

Halv0 (couldn't quote, ir was too long)
I don't think saying someone has a 'more attractive profile' is construable as negative bias and I am puzzled that you do.
I am happy for you. It sounds like you found a very nice woman. If I am understanding you, you met her here. This sounds like a success story.
LoL at your presumption in my motives for writing the poll. As my favorite crazy person Ann Coultier says, it is Entertainment, nothing more.
I have no knowledge about the cost of a wedding in Australia. Here in Virginia in the US there is the cost of a filing fee to the court clerk about $25US I think, and whatever the Justice of the Peace charges. That isn't much.
Of course if you want a big church wedding and to rent a hall for a reception, maybe with a rock band and food for the guests, well it can all easily pass $20,000US. Tradition here in the US is if that is being sought, the father of the bride pays ALL of the costs.
None of that is required for a wedding in Virginia to be legal. Just the small fee to the court clerk for the license and the modest fee (and tip) for the Justice of the Peace to say the words and sign on the license it actually happened and you are married.
Dating is as expensive, or as cheap, as the person you are dating and you agree to make it. Your night out together may cost $600 or it can cost less than $100. Different activities and places will be preferred by different couples.
sussing? I don't know that word. Never heard it. Is it similar to 'checking out' in meaning?
Okay, let us get to the meat. For your situation, given the question I posed, you answered it. Your lady paid the heavier costs. That is Outstanding.
Elsewhere in the forums you write about the cultural significance of marriage to Asian females (bearing in mind my original post in this thread did not single out any continent or country or race). Would you say your experience is probably typical of what a Western male would experience upon establishing a probable marriage relationship with an Asian female?
I don't think saying someone has a 'more attractive profile' is construable as negative bias and I am puzzled that you do.

Then....for those gentlemen that think foreigners women in general are an expensive ''item'' because they assume all them only want to move from their countries, in my case I DON'T want to relocate. I own a modest apartment and I am happy being a third world citizent.

Ken_19: There is no question some of the women in some of the countries have much more attractive profiles than some of the women in the US. They cook, they sew, they promise obedience and love forever, many are multi-lingual, etc. Also fat women seem to be rare in some of the countries and many, many are slim and pretty. Many say right up front 'I want to get married and leave here.' The issue I see is the legal requirements and financial requirements are a serious obstacle for that ever happening. US Immigration law requires you to be able to prove if seeking a K-1 visa for them that you went there, and you met them before applying for the Visa, more money spent. You will need an Immigration lawyer, more money. Both you and her will be subject to character investigation. Guess who pays for that? Are some of them B-girls? Probably. Some may have AIDS too. In some countries they may also need an exit Visa. They will probably want you to pay for that too. Some are scammers with bogus profiles too. So we come to really two questions. Why are you looking at what you will never be able to afford to buy (the Visa, although the gir;'s parents may in some cultures expect a dowry for themselves), and if you are one of those women, what is the point? Your odds of someone like Bill Gates coming along to pull you out of 'end of the world' province in the country of Chllleast are slim to non-existent, so why you wasting your time in international dating?
Haven't you wondered why Marco Polo spent so much time in the East. Hint, it wasn't because he was collecting great wealth, seeing the sights or obtainging powers in the service of a great Khan. If you want something, try turning your computer off and go get it.
