Eternal Sunshine Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 There are websites all over for men living in Eastern Europe looking for wives in a first world country. I joined for fun and got tons of mail and marriage offers. Most of the men don't seem like losers and are pretty hot. Of course they try to come off as looking for love and not the green card (and green card is just a bonus) but we all know better Most speak/write poor English and I communicate with them in their native language (being from Eastern Europe myself). Perhaps this wouldn't be a bad idea for me? I mean I have well and truly given up on love (and no it's not just a passing feeling). I also wouldn't have to pay anything for them to come, just commit to marry them ASAP.
zengirl Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 ES, the thing about 'passing feelings' is you don't know that they're a 'passing feeling' till they pass. Your breakup is still raw, so I don't think leaping at anything like a GC marriage right now sounds like a grand idea. What you need, in love in general, is to slow down. Really slow down. And be comfortable without direction.
DuchessKaye Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 ES... this is a joke. Right???? I thought about this also
ScreamingTrees Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I thought about this also Seems to be a popular LS trend right now. 1
verhrzn Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Hmm, not a bad idea (men have mail-order brides, why can't we women get a mail-order husband?), though I'd give it a little time and thought before you carried through with getting one.
Els Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Hmm, not a bad idea (men have mail-order brides, why can't we women get a mail-order husband?), though I'd give it a little time and thought before you carried through with getting one. Because neither one is a good idea!?
verhrzn Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Because neither one is a good idea!? *Shrugs* I've seen lots of guys on forums brag about how awesome and hot their mail-order bride is, and how foreign women are SOO much better than American women, etc. Don't see why it'd be so bad to have an option for ourselves. 2
CarrieT Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I looked at Middle Eastern sites for something similar...
Avarage Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Interesting idea for a woman I guess. Suppose if it doesn't work out you can send them back for a refund. Just make sure you get the extended warranty.
wwwjd Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 ever heard stories about the "Russian Bride" thing? where they marry you to get in to country then dump you and find someone else? This ACTUALLY happens and I personally know someone this happened to. Never trust it. Better to say alone.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Aww..now come on ES... you're better then this.
insertnamehere Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I'm a straight guy, but I have heard terrible things about Eastern European men in dating. From what I've seen in Eastern Europe at bars and clubs (not necessarily the best place to take the pulse of a society) the reputation is more than deserved. Pushy, mean and completely absent of any boyish charms. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I never saw them. The suggestion about Middle Eastern men isn't the worst. I actually know a lady who did this and ended up married to a guy from Morocco (yes, not technically Middle Eastern). They seem happy. He's a little on the beta side, but that's a matter of personal preference among women. The only thing I've noticed among my few Middle Eastern male friends is that they can be a little paint-by-numbers about love. Could have its charms if cute and naive is your thing.
mtber75 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I never heard of mail order husbands...But I'm sure they exist! I joked with my Indian female friend that she should just bring someone over from India because she don't want to be alone anymore. You can go over to some Eastern European country to bring over someone? They have people to do that for you (arranging all the marriage detail)?
dasein Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Would be extremely careful about giving out any personal information, you could be courting identity theft, extortion, kidnapping or who knows. Same goes for anyone using foreign courtship sites.
somedude81 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 It seriously can't be that hard to find a decent guy unless you have ridiculous standards. I want a 7 foot tall male model with long blonde hair, an 6-pack and an 8 inch penis. He will love me forever and ever. I will love him and squeeze him and call him George. 2
ariadne999 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 It seriously can't be that hard to find a decent guy unless you have ridiculous standards. and you know this how?
thatone Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 *Shrugs* I've seen lots of guys on forums brag about how awesome and hot their mail-order bride is, and how foreign women are SOO much better than American women, etc. Don't see why it'd be so bad to have an option for ourselves. those guys are full of sh*t. there have been plenty of documentaries done about the mail order bride business over the years. not surprisingly, most are scams. they just put a bunch of men in a room full of hookers to relieve said men of some of their cash.
kaylan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 You that desperate OP? Stop hun just stop. Everyone in your threads keeps telling you to relax and take a chill pill from dating. The right guy will find you. Stop forcing this.
yongyong Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I don't mind bringing a 17 year old from eastern europe countries when I hit 40 years old. I won't marry her though maybe put her in college and visit her dorms in regular basis. I'm a straight guy, but I have heard terrible things about Eastern European men in dating. From what I've seen in Eastern Europe at bars and clubs (not necessarily the best place to take the pulse of a society) the reputation is more than deserved.

Could have its charms if cute and naive is your thing. they are the biggest bullshxitters you can ever find. I know what's going to happen in the future. they are good at telling ugly american women how beautiful they are to fall in love with them. I know a guy who is 28 and met married mid 40 white women on internet. she brought him here and is giving him money regularly. I don't know how he pulled it off.
Ruby Slippers Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 they are the biggest bullshxitters you can ever find.

So it's OK for men to pay hot women to fake-adore them, but not for women to do the same? Why is that? 1
yongyong Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I just said I knew that guy. So this woman is married. her husband accepted her kids from previous marriage. Now this woman is banging this young guy daily bais. I see nothing wrong with that. I just felt little bad for the white guy (her husband) So it's OK for men to pay hot women to fake-adore them, but not for women to do the same? Why is that?
