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.

The bride to was come here and live from what I recall....
I had no intentions of leaving the USofA.
She love you long time, a couple of centuries!
Any second thoughts, now that you know California wymin Obama is in the White House?
Good for her. My brother in law’s son’s wife is Asian and was already here when they met. She takes no chit. :-)
As the father of a "Jiangxi Girl" I can tell you their reputation for being "spicy" is well deserved!
I can't tell you the number of times I've picked her up at Pre-K only to be met by some whimpering kid ratting her out for opening a can of whoop-ass on them.
I dutifully check with the teacher to see if "we have a problem," and the answer is invariably "don't worry about it: it was retaliation."
LOL!!! Where would I find that woman?
My response was, "I didn't hold the door because you're a lady. I held it because I am a gentleman."
Same here. Of course, that was when I was on active duty in the military.
I saw this on one of those talk shows; maybe it was Dr. Phil. They interviewed men who did this, and many of men they showed were middle aged, unattractive men who would never be able to get a woman who looks like that here. One man was ranting about American women not being submissive enough. Another man spent thousands of dollars to bring this woman back. She had health problems, and he spent thousands of dollars getting them addressed. She then left him. These women want to get in for the green card, but when they get here and they see they have an opportunity with attractive, younger guys, are they really going to stay?
Yeah,,, better to marry an American woman. They’ll NEVER marry you intending to leave you when fully vested, and take half your stuff.
yes. Philippine girls sometimes chose to do this.
I’ve known two such marriages: one, a Russian girl married to a doc whose problem was shyness. Another, a nerdy professor married to a Filipino girl.
In both cases, the girls wanted marriage and money security, but chose and met the guy a few times before they married, and if the marriage worked, it was because they treasured their husbands and treated them well, and vice versa.
and lots of military guys married local girls too...some worked out, some didn’t...
And here in the Philippines, a lot of the Americans who retire here do so because they married local girls. It’s easier for them to retire here: without family, you can rent an apartment for foreigners, but if you want a social life it’s easier if you have family around...
also, You can’t “own” land or a business here if you are a foreigner, but hey if you want to start an organic farm etc. you just put it in your wife’s name...
Larry King married a Filipino girl too...still lives with her in Manila...
I’ll take some kimchee with a falafel chaser. :)
No surprise. I like my women the same way I like my wines - imported.
A friend of mine was going to go on a “Find A Bride” trip to South America before he found his wife (Mexican-American, born here, doesn’t speak Spanish).
Apologies to the minority of quality American LADIES out there, but most domestic women are the same quality as GM products: substandard.
Won’t buy a GM car; won’t marry a domestic woman.
On the bright side, the domestics can be happy: They won their independence; they can bequeath whatever they have to their cats and dogs. And don’t forget to stock up on batteries for the “massagers”.
Meanwhile, the Old Guys living in Leisure World are looking for a Nurse with a Purse.
Sorry to dismay you, but Grace Kelly ^ was born in Philadelphia.
Sorry to dismay you but that was an obvious joke!
Ouch!!!!!
Anyway with these dating sites, these foreign ladies are mostly gold diggers yes? I just don't think internet dating works, it's a scam. Foreign or domestic.
I choose French pop singer Alizee.
