What is an agency? What is their purpose? Are they facilitating 'hello'? Hardly. They are facilitating marriage and most reputable ones will kick out girls NOT interested in marriage.
If all you're interested to say is hello pick up the phone and dial a phone number like 011 7 xxxx xxxxxx. You can say hello all you like.
[What is an agency? What is their purpose? Are they facilitating 'hello'?]
That is precisely what they are doing. Period.
The marriage marketing part is just playing on dreams that everyone has. It helps in after-market sales of things like visa services, etc.
But, initially, all they are really doing is facilitating hello.
When you look at his picture, you really have to forget your personal disgust for his appearance and your personal disgust for the older white male that comes through in your words. Anastasia's family liked him for his professoral qualities (highly prized in that part of the world). He could have convinced an American woman that he lived in a mansion instead of a trailer. You cannot legislate that. Your personal baggage is of no interest to any American male. Our rights are of interest. There are thousands of murderers like the guy below. Their actions must not lead to the curtailment of the rights of other men.
It is a shame that it turned out that he worked at Costco...but that is no frigging reason to legislate anything!
