Could a mail-order bride website become the new Match.com?

Fortune magazine reports that websites like AnastasiaDate are trying to shed the shady images of green card goldiggers and abusive American men in search of Stepford slaves. They have re-branded the mail-order bride business 'premium international dating'.

AnastasiaDate's traffic grew by 220per cent in 2012, and it now has four million users.

Do they come with pre-addressed postage paid envelope

A sassy with a SASE?

You ask too much my FRiend...

Not only that - they return men’s glances with a smile.

That one works too!

Grace was STUNNING, a true Princess inside and out.

But her kids inherited her looks.

[allmendream]

Exactly correct.

She was like “What the hell?” She didn’t understand leaving behind the comforts of home to pitch a tent and build a fire and crap out in the woods all for nice scenery and the outdoors. ‘F*CK the outdoors - if I have a house there is no reason to camp’ was her philosophy.

The guy loved camping and hunting and the outdoors. They had very little in common.

Regarding the Koreans - as my Korean friend pointed out, they have all had identical plastic surgery. Check the eyes - like they came off an assembly line. :)

Look what they are doing to women and children in this country, who would marry a woman who was a slut since she was 13?

[Revolting cat!]

Typical US female on the streets where I dwell: all in black, cellphone, chewing gum!

I have seen quite a few of these work out. Mostly when they actually communicated first and were clear about the situation.

Horror stories are out there, but for the most part seems like a valid option instead of democrats.

When I first moved to Cali,,, the Filipinos were offering me 10K to marry a sister, cousin, aunty, or any relative for that matter. They were showing me Polaroids back then,,,, yikes..
I had to decline..

Watching American television will quickly turn any of these women into unpleasant human beings, as many an "importer" has found out, to his sorrow. To be successful, he has to be willing to export himself, instead.

I got lucky - my wife is from Singapore, became a US citizen before I met her, has lived her nearly 30 years, and never pays the slightest attention to the female role models presented by American culture.

And though she 100% Asian, she is also one of the most forceful personalities I have ever met. She's the sharpest businesswoman in town, has never shut up in her life, and no man is ever going to slap her around and get away with it. :)

Feminism ruined this country.

That is why men are going where they find women who like being women.

[KC_Lion]

Your wife sounds like the best kind!

Just because your woman likes being Feminine doesn't mean she is submissive.

Ummm...Looks can be deceptive - have you read her biography? Like Ingrid Bergman, she was a tramp bordering on nympho....was banged by every actor she played opposite.

Any second thoughts, now that you know California wymin?

Newsflash: the Russian and Ukranian women have been sluts since they were eleven.

Just stay out in the country when you are looking. We had an old sayin’ back in the day, “city girls are for quick fun, country girls are for the long run.”
