What a rediculous thing to legislate. Perhaps Washington State should ask itself how this 'male' was able to do this 'twice' and not pass more laws because we are not enforcing those already on the books.
By the way, it isn't the male who would get in trouble with the law. Someone just mentioned that the male would only fall into trouble if he ever applied for a fiance visa and he or his fiance was stupid enough to say they met via a non-complying service.
The Gestapo is unforgiving when it comes to regulating who an American man can marry.
We need to see some American-based services openly violating the law and DARING the jackasses in the government to come down on them. The biggest of them seems to be ready to comply however. They will do so by having a man fill out a one page form that would be submitted to s a foreign woman before she agrees to correspond. The problem with this, beyond the red tape delays that could take months for someone who only has an address but no email, is that it takes privacy away big time and makes American males look guilty until proven innocent. I don't know yet what info will be on the form. I am sure half the men will lie about their age on the form to begin with. You just can't take away privacy rights like this. It is BS.
Yet American males have shown the capacity in the past 30 years to really wimp out.
